Shikamaru is good at playing shogi. Shogi is an ancient Japanese chess game. The overall routine is somewhat like Chinese chess. Each chess piece has its own clear role. Both sides of the game need to use all means to capture the opponent's jade. Only by checking can you win the entire chess game.
What Shikamaru is best at is naturally strategy, and he can even compare the chess pieces on the shogi to become personnel on both sides of the battle to design battles and achieve the final victory.
It has been clearly stated in the original work that Shikamaru is a super genius with an IQ of over 200 and is extremely good at calculation. The reason why he was reduced to the same status as Naruto before is because no matter what he does, it is too difficult for him. It was too simple, and as a result, he was not interested in anything except resting, and was surprisingly lazy.
Obviously, as the only young man among the twelve genin of Konoha to be promoted to chunin in that Chunin Examination, he must now reverse his previous laziness and begin to shoulder the responsibility of the team's counselor.
However, the final conclusion reached is a bit disappointing.
Qi Zhen trusts the other party's judgment. If he says no, then it must be no.
"Is it so difficult..." Izumo asked in a deep voice.
"That's right." Shikamaru sighed and nodded, "At least two of us should be assigned to keep an eye on Kakuzu. Judging from the current situation, Sai Zhen and Asuma are the best candidates. , killing him is the second priority, the most important thing is not to let him get close to Hidan, otherwise even if we cut off Hidan's head, it will have no effect."
"The next thing that must be done is to lure Hidan away from Kakuzu. I have at least five ways to do this. If you add in the premise that the other party has an arrogant personality, then there are even more ways to lure him away. The matter of blasting to pieces can only be left to Liang Sicheng. The difficulty is that neither I nor Izuku Tetsu can get close to each other and give him even a little ability to obtain our blood. Even if he is an ordinary jounin, It's not something the three of us can handle." Shikamaru continued to analyze.
"According to your analysis, this plan seems to be achievable..." Zitie said doubtfully.
"It's not that simple." Shikamaru smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said: "There are two unavoidable difficulties before us. The first is the comparison of strength between the two sides. According to what Qi Zhen said, Kakuzu With five lives, although their melee abilities are not too strong, they are definitely not weak. The quantity and quality of chakra are even scarier. Whether they can hold the opponent back is unknown. The same can be said for Hidan. Similarly, Izumo and Zitie both prefer melee attacks. I am a mid-range control type. It is not difficult to distract him. What is difficult is to blow him into pieces. Without preparation in advance, it is difficult. Even if we have made preparations in advance, judging from the current composition of our entire team, someone must sacrifice himself and be determined to die with him before it can be completed."
Shikamaru's skills stopped Izumo Tetsuji, who wanted to come forward, and then said: "The problem is, the three of us are not sure whether we can survive his melee attack. This is not a matter of willingness, but ability. question."
"The two of us can be together." Izumo said.
Indeed, the two of Izumo and Tetsu are inseparable. In the anime, the two almost always appear in other people's vision at the same time. The cooperation between them must be quite tacit, and they may even have some combination attack skills and ninjutsu. However, Shika Maru still shook his head firmly.
"This is the second question I want to talk about. Even if we are determined to sacrifice two people, there is a high probability that we will not be able to achieve the final goal." Shikamaru said slowly, "If only one of our teams is tracking the other party's traces Maybe it’s not difficult, but now there are other teams performing the same mission, and no matter which team encounters them first, they will die in vain, leaving me too little time to devise a perfect strategy.”
Qi Zhen somewhat admired Shikamaru. He could judge the situation between the enemy and ourselves so clearly in just a short period of time. He was indeed the IQ ceiling among Naruto. It is no wonder that his father, Shikaku, was able to fight in the ninja world. Among them, he became the military advisor of the entire coalition army.
A tiger father has no dog sons.
But thinking of this, Qi Zhen's heart suddenly suddenly thought of something, and she asked: "Were you just thinking about how to kill those two people?"
"Yeah." Shikamaru nodded and said, "So we can only settle for the next best thing."
It turned out that what he had just calculated was based on the premise of killing Hidan and Kakuzu. What he said was no, which meant that he could not completely defeat them without sacrificing any of his teammates. other side.
But there is a mission ahead, and other teams are also performing the same search work. They must also obey orders and continue to pursue, so they have to lower their expectations.
"Asuma-sensei, the goal of this battle must be changed." Shikamaru said solemnly.
"I understand." Asuma nodded.
"Izumo, please send a message to Konoha and ask the village to order all search and rescue teams to immediately stop the battle plan against the Akatsuki duo and instead follow them after discovering them. You would rather lose the target than alert the snake. In the country of fire, We have home field advantage, even if the opponent finds us, it will not be easy to kill the Konoha ninjas," Shikamaru said.
"Okay." Izumo nodded and started writing information on the spot.
"We will pursue according to the established plan. If we find traces of the opponent, we will focus on remote harassment. This aspect of the work will be mainly handed over to Liang Sicheng. The others should be prepared to retreat at any time. Once it is discovered that the opponent has capabilities beyond intelligence, everyone will We must retreat as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary sacrifices." Shikamaru continued.
Everyone nodded.
"As soon as he discovered the opponent, Izumo sent intelligence to the village and asked for support from the village. His strength was at least jounin level. Before support arrived, our job was to delay the opponent. The next combat mission, The supporting Jonin will take over. As long as there is another Jonin, no matter who it is, I am sure that these two people will stay in the Land of Fire forever!" Shikamaru said decisively.
Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng looked at each other, and both had the idea of recruiting Shikamaru into the team immediately. A counselor with powerful calculations was obviously more useful than a warrior with outstanding combat power.
"I think when I meet the other party, maybe I can test their strength first." Qi Zhen suddenly suggested.
Shikamaru looked at Qi Zhen deeply and asked, "Are you sure?"
Qi Zhen chuckled and said nothing.
"That's it, I'll leave the harassment work to you two, and we'll be responsible for collecting intelligence." Shikamaru nodded.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "But no matter what, Teacher Asma should not show her face until the critical moment. If the other party finds out, it will be a bit difficult to handle."
"I understand." Asma nodded, his tone a little helpless.
Originally, he left to pursue his friend Dilu, but in this short period of time, as a hunter, he became the prey in the eyes of the enemy. It was really ironic.
Just like the last time they went to find Sasuke with Naruto and the others, Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng had their own ideas. As Qi Zhen said, it was impossible to completely tell these NPCs some things. While ensuring the smooth progress of the main plot, he I really want to try to see how far I can go.
…
"Damn it, Kakuzu, why do you come to such a smelly place!" Hidan complained in a voice that sounded extremely dissatisfied.
"Shut up, if you talk nonsense I'll kill you." Kakuzu said coldly.
"Are you afraid of you? It's not like you haven't killed anyone before. Lord Evil God, a guy like you who only cares about money will get retribution sooner or later." Hidan provoked.
Kakuzu ignored him and entered the building in front of him.
This is a public toilet located in the wilderness.
Why there is a toilet in the wilderness is strange enough in itself. It is also conceivable that the sanitary conditions are not taken care of all year round.
Hidan resisted the urge to vomit and walked behind him, Kakuzu tapped rhythmically on top of the second urinal from the left.
Gala Gala...
There was a sound of a mechanism, revealing a one-meter-wide window and a slightly indifferent face behind it.
"The exchange would actually be set up in such a disgusting place." Hidan looked disgusted, "I'll go out and wait for you, please hurry up."
"That's too long-winded." Kakuzu said coldly, shaking Dilu, who had been dead for a long time behind him, in front of the man: "In exchange for the bounty."
This is one of the strongholds of underground bounty organizations. There are many such strongholds in the Kingdom of Fire. In fact, these bounty organizations exist not only in the Kingdom of Fire, but also in the entire ninja world. Even most of the shady assassination missions are Posted by here.
If I have to say it, this is a bit like the bounty hunter guild in some comic settings. No one is asked about their identity or method. As long as they complete the reward and bring the body or head of the reward target, they can come to exchange for it. bounty.
Most of the Akatsuki organization's financial resources actually come from here.
As worthy of being the logistics manager of the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu is obviously very familiar with this, and has even become familiar with the locations of these exchanges.
Hidan walked out of the public toilet out of boredom and sat on the stone steps at the door. The blood-red sickle was placed beside him, shining with a cold and lustful light.
At this time, he was still muttering in a low voice: "It stinks so bad, the smell is all on the clothes. Is there something wrong with these people? They insist on putting the exchange in the public toilet!"
boom!
A roar stirred up the resting birds in the woods, and they flew into the sky with their chirping.
Hidan's eyes were full of shock. His legs were completely broken and he was blown several meters away!
