Swish, brush, brush...
The figures got closer and closer, and after finally spotting each other, both teams stopped.
And because they didn't know how strong the enemy on the opposite side was, after meeting like this, the two teams did not clash immediately. Instead, they began to size each other up, trying to get an understanding of the enemy on the opposite side.
While looking at it, Nara Shikamaru frowned at the other team that appeared in front of him.
I thought to myself: "Are there any other teams still on the outskirts of the "Forest of Death"? It seems to be moving a little faster. "
That's right, the reason why Nara Shikamaru and the others took a lot of time to get here was entirely because they didn't want to conflict with others right away, so they didn't rush to get here now. .
As for why Nara Shikamaru is not in a hurry?
That's because in his eyes, this is not the best time to gather the two scrolls of heaven and earth.
First of all, the second test of the Chuunin Exam has just begun, and many Genin who want to be the final winner will be very anxious to collect two scrolls.
In other words, there must be countless teams running around at this time, looking for opponents.
At this time, facing off against opponents who are in a state of excitement is bound to be more dangerous than a normal battle.
You must know that this second exam requires persistence.
Therefore, Nara Shikamaru believes that with so much time, it is best to avoid his sharp edge and wait until others are slightly weaker before competing.
Secondly, from Nara Shikamaru's point of view, even if he collects the scrolls now, he may not be able to safely resist the central tower in the future.
Because since the central tower is where they want to go in the end, there must be a team that thinks they are strong and not good at tracking and don't go looking for someone to seize the scroll.
Instead, they would choose to go straight to the central tower at the beginning and wait, waiting for others to take the scrolls they need and throw themselves into the trap.
So it would be more appropriate to go a little slower, wait until the time is about the same, and wait for more conflicts between tower rushers and interceptors to go to the center tower.
Of course, in addition to these two points, there was actually another reason why he chose to enter slowly and try not to conflict with others in the early stage.
And this reason is more critical than the previous two points.
So what is it?
Of course it is their own strength.
You know, although they rely on the particularity of their family's secret techniques, their strength on paper is a little stronger than the average genin.
But this does not change the label that they are genin who just graduated this year.
The other reference personnel, even if they are not considered to be strong among genin, have all stayed in the genin rank for more than a year.
So Nara Shikamaru felt that it was better to be conservative.
But even if you are so conservative, there are some things that you can't avoid just because you want to avoid them.
Just like now, Nara Shikamaru would not have expected that such a situation would suddenly occur.
Therefore, frowning, Nara Shikamaru muttered: "Well~ It's really troublesome."
But even if the situation is like this, Nara Shikamaru still doesn't want to have any conflict with the opposite team.
(M..COM)
Therefore, after looking at the other party, he took the initiative to approach the opposite team and raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions.
The three people on the opposite side watched Nara Shikamaru take the initiative to break away from his two teammates and come over, and also made this move.
Although they were a little wary because Nara Shikamaru was getting closer to them, they did not take action just because they could defeat Nara Shikamaru's team one by one.
So just like that, Nara Shikamaru came not far away from the three of them: "Everyone, although we have to face each other in order to collect the two scrolls, I think you don't want to do useless work."
After the three of them heard Nara Shikamaru's words, they nodded without thinking too much.
Yes, if possible, who wouldn't want to get a pair together after the battle.
"In that case, I think it is better for us to reveal the scroll now than to find out that the scroll is wrong after a lot of fighting.
If they happen to be a couple, then there is nothing to say.
But if the scrolls in both our hands are the same, it can save us a lot of fighting, right? "
After Nara Shikamaru finished speaking, he could clearly see that the other three were moved.
Therefore, Nara Shikamaru decided to strike while the iron was hot, not to wait too long and cause them to have other ideas.
So he then spoke again: "What else is there to consider? Do you want to be taken advantage of by others?
If our scrolls were not the same, it would have been a tough battle, and the winner would be able to get a pair together after all.
But what if our scrolls are the same and we still have a fight...
So how sure are you that you can fight another team and grab the next scroll after going through a battle?
So I think that if you really want to survive the second test successfully, then what I said before is the best choice for you. "
Nara Shikamaru's "strike while the iron is hot" was successful.
The three guys on the opposite side were successfully persuaded by Nara Shikamaru.
So looking at Nara Shikamaru, one of them said: "In that case, let's show the scroll in your hand first. If it is the same as us, then we will leave immediately."
Hearing the other party's reply, Nara Shikamaru suddenly smiled contemptuously and thought to himself: "There is really no sincerity at all."
Why does Nara Shikamaru think so?
That's because once only one of you reveals the scroll, the direction of the development of things will no longer be in your hands.
After all, even if the scrolls of both sides are different, the other side can be said to be the same.
Once the opponent chooses to leave, Nara Shikamaru is not sure whether the opponent is hiding in the dark and ready to attack them at any time.
And once this kind of situation where the enemy is in darkness and we are clear, then Nara Shikamaru and the others will be really in danger.
Therefore, facing the other party's request, Nara Shikamaru refused without saying a word, and even said: "Everyone, you are not fools, and neither are we, okay?
So if you want to show it, show it together, otherwise, although we really don’t want to conflict with others when the scroll is unclear.
But once things are irreversible, we will not hesitate to fight you and come to
(M..COM)
If there are any consequences, you have to think carefully about whether you can bear them. "
To be honest, this is just like facing the opposite team. If I were the one bullying them, I would be even more unscrupulous in their persecution.
Therefore, while rejecting the other party's proposal, Nara Shikamaru lowered his raised hand and made a posture ready to attack at any time.
And things were just as Nara Shikamaru thought. Seeing Nara Shikamaru being so strong, the three people on the opposite side were not sure whether they would be able to defeat the three Nara Shikamaru once they fought.
So after thinking about it for a while, one of them said, "That's right. This way, showing them all will save you the trouble of overthinking later and causing more trouble."
Nara Shikamaru nodded: "Yes, so I think there is no need to do any disguises. Otherwise, if misunderstandings arise, neither you nor us will be intact."
As soon as these words were spoken, the little thoughts that had just arisen among the three people across from them were instantly extinguished in the blink of an eye.
Yes, if the scroll is disguised, it would be better if it remains the same after being disguised. If by chance the two scrolls become a pair after being disguised...
Even if it is explained that this is false
Pretend, the other party probably won’t believe it either. This may lead to greater misunderstandings and lead to a fight between the two parties.
So after the three of them looked at each other, they immediately put down their little thoughts.
Then after signaling to Nara Shikamaru, one of them reached into his ninja bag and was about to take out the scroll.
At the same time, Nara Shikamaru also raised his hand behind him. While Akimichi Choji, who was carrying the scroll, took out the scroll, he made a very hidden move.
In this way, after the countdown between the two sides came to an end, Akimichi Choji and the person holding the scroll on the opposite side raised the scroll that belonged to their team.
Then after determining what happened to the other party's scroll, the two sides took action instantly.
