Naruto Shadow Mage

"Huh?"

 “That little guy off-road seems to be really interesting.”

 Originally I thought that cross-country talent was only reflected in training, and it would definitely be worse in actual combat.

So when Shikaku offered guidance on cross-country, Ding's first thought was that the cross-country must lose miserably, because he had a good relationship with Shikaku and had already guessed that the real meaning of Shikaku's guidance was to beat, and don't let cross-country have any problems Get carried away after just a few achievements.

But after seeing the off-road person glancing at him from the corner of his eye, Ding Zuo suddenly realized that the kid in front of him was not that simple.

 Let’s not mention the strength for the moment, let’s talk about the calmness and composure held by the cross-country, which made Ding Zao and even Shikaku feel that the cross-country was far beyond the ordinary genin.

 Formulating a strategy may seem useless, but it is an essential part of a ninja battle.

It seems that in the Chunin Examination chapter of the original plot, the power of the Nine-Tails used by Uzumaki Naruto and the Chidori of the Uchiha Second Pillar all left the genin of the same age far behind, right?

 But who was the person who finally advanced to Chunin?

Isn't it the Nara Shikamaru who is mediocre in strength and can only use the shadow imitation technique?

In the original plot, it is not that Shikamaru is stronger, but that he understands how to use his own power rationally. This is a required course for genin to be promoted to chunin.

At this time, Shikaku and Ding Zao, who were about to beat him on the cross-country, undoubtedly regarded the cross-country more highly because of this.

It’s just that Shikaku and Dingza never imagined that the off-roading could bring more surprises to them!

 “Uncle Lujiu, be careful!”

Suddenly, off-road yelled loudly, heralding the beginning of his fight with Shikaku.

 After hearing the violent shouting of Off-Road, Shikaku's eyes obviously became more solemn, because he clearly saw the secret movement of Off-Road, and he touched the ninja bag!

"Shuriken!"

 “Whoosh!”

 “Whoosh!”

 Hitting the ninja tool bag secretly, without any hesitation, he threw the three shurikens in his hand at Shikaku.

Possibly, Cross Country has not practiced concealed weapons yet, but even so, if Cross Country is still inaccurate against Shikaku's living target, then his hard training in the past three months will really be like a joke.

Seeing that the three shurikens in mid-air had no arc at all and were completely straight attacks, Shikaku smiled slightly and stretched out his palm directly.

“The accuracy is correct, but it’s a pity that the shuriken thrown has no arc at all, and the throwing speed is also bad enough.”

 He casually took a picture of the three shurikens thrown out from across the country. Let alone chakra, Shikaku didn't even move his feet for half a minute, which fully demonstrated the strength gap between the two.

 However, the shuriken did not pose any threat to Shikaku, as it was already expected in the cross-country.

If he can't dodge even a few shurikens, Shikaku really enjoys the title of "Inigami Butterfly" in vain, and he is not worthy of becoming a jounin of Konoha Village.

 So, when the shuriken was knocked down in front of Shikaku, the chakra under his feet suddenly burst out, and he sprinted to the front of Shikaku.

This ability to explode chakra with one hand finally made Shikaku and Ding Zao who were watching the battle slightly moved.

It's a pity that Shikaku cannot be defeated by the burst of chakra alone!

Especially for cross-country, my physical fitness is not very good to begin with. Even after climbing trees and treading water, my chakra control ability is very good. But when the cross-country sprint came and he punched Shikaku in the face, Shikaku still gently waved his palm, not only hitting the cross-country's fist, but then he grabbed the cross-country's hand. With his wrist, he threw the off-road vehicle to the ground.

But just when Shikaku thought that the cross-country must fall to the ground with his strength, making a muffled sound, the volleying cross-country suddenly twisted his body forcefully, and hit Shikaku's head with a roundhouse kick. !

 “Well, my physical skills are quite passable.”

“It’s a pity that these are still not enough!”

His eyes were focused, and the smile on Shikaku's face became stronger when faced with the cross-country's roundhouse kick. He released his wrist from the cross-country, and raised his hand to block it in front of his eyes.

 “Boom!”

 Hit Shikaku's arm. It felt like he was kicked **** a steel plate, and there were waves of soreness and numbness in his legs. Moreover, taking advantage of the numbness in Cross Country's legs, Shikaku repeated his old trick and grabbed his ankle again, trying to throw Cross Country to the ground as before.

But later on, even Shikaku was surprised that Cross Country seemed to have already figured out his attack path.

Just when Shikaku's fingers touched Shikaku's ankle, the blue chakra erupted from Shikaku's feet again. He actually squatted down steadily while stepping on Shikaku's arm. on the ground!

　　"A few times! Cross-country, I really underestimated you before!"

Facing the slightly proficient physical skills and precise chakra control of the cross-country, Shikaku couldn't help but put away his contempt and must be more serious in his mind to avoid being educated by the cross-country.

But just when Shikaku put away the smile on his face and looked a little serious, he suddenly squatted on the ground to form a seal with his hands, which made Shikaku's pupils shrink slightly!

 “That’s the shadow imitation technique!”

"not good!"

Suddenly seeing the seals formed by Cross Country's hands, Lu Jiu felt like he was being plotted by Cross Country, as if everything he had done before was part of Cross Country's calculations!

Moreover, just when Shikaku showed panic, and his mind for off-roading on dark trails should not be underestimated, a dark shadow suddenly extended along the direction of the cross-country to Shikaku's feet!

 “Shadow Mimicry!”

 “Buzz!”

 “Buzz!”

 Because he was squatting on the ground, the distance between Shikaku and Shikaku was exactly the limit of the shadow imitation technique. So before Shikaku discovered his plan, Cross Country was directly using the shadow imitation technique. But at the moment when the shadow at the foot of the cross country was only half a centimeter away from connecting with Shikaku's shadow, there was a "bang"!

　　Shikaku in front of the cross-country actually exploded with chakra under his feet, and avoided the cross-country's shadow imitation technique with a single jump!

 “Uncle Lujiu, you are cheating!”

"Well"

Although the rules of sparring were not told in front of Off-Road, a Jonin sparring with a four-year-old child actually needed to use chakra. Off-Road's words were undoubtedly equivalent to a hard slap on Shikaku's face, causing Lu Jiudu looked ashamed and wiped his nose in embarrassment.

However, just when Shikaku was about to explain in words and save face in front of Ding Zuo.

Sudden!

Shikaku saw the sly smile on Cross Country's face, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the shadow under Ding Zuo's feet moving. It was the second stage of Cross Country's shadow imitation technique!

 “You brat, I almost fell into your trap!”

Xin Dao’s shout before Cross Country was just an act. On the surface, Lu Jiu laughed and scolded Cross Country, but in his heart he secretly exclaimed that Cross Country is a monster!

What does outstanding talent for cultivation plus careful thinking mean?

 Isn’t it the future of the Nara clan?

Perhaps Shikaku burst out his chakra twice and lost face in front of his old friend Ding Zao, but the Nara clan's off-roading is equivalent to having a future. So even though he was a bit embarrassed, Lu Jiu was still happy in his heart. After avoiding Cross Country's shadow imitation surgery again, Lu Jiu smiled and shook his head, preparing to say a few words of encouragement to Cross Country.

Who would have thought that just when Shikaku, Ding Zao, and the two Jonin thought that although Cross Country's performance was excellent, they were completely defeated in the competition, a bright smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Shikaku, Ding Zao's mouth, which made Shikaku, Ding Zao The two Konoha Murakami ninjas were stunned there!

 “Uncle Shikaku, you lose!”

 “The shadow imitation technique was successful!”
