Feeling that the chakra in her body had gradually returned to fullness, Hinata also spoke simply. Although she was too lazy to care about the personal grudge between the third generation and Orochimaru, at any rate, it was now a more exciting scene in the main plot, and it was a pity to miss it.

"Ah! The second scene seems to be between Shikamaru and that sand ninja woman with a brush hair!"

Seeing that Hinata had regained her usual attitude towards him, Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Neji, who was acting as Hinata's guard on one side, also followed him, intending to continue to watch the performance of other people in this exam. .

After the first duel ended, the second match soon started again, and this time, it was Nara Shikamaru from Konoha Village VS Temari from Sunagakure Village.

"Hmph! You really took care of me last time in the tavern! This time, I want to get that debt back!"

The iron fan behind her was inserted into the ground in front of her with a bang. Temari's words contained a trace of undisguised anger. She had not forgotten that when the group of them had just arrived in Konoha Village, because Kankuro deliberately After provoking Hinata and the others, Shikamaru caught both of them with the shadow binding technique. Without any resistance at all, Hinata beat her into a weak state. Now she and Hinata were no longer facing each other, so Temari simply The hatred value was transferred to the pineapple head in front of him.

"Trouble~! So, I really don't like competing with women. Especially women who hold grudges..."

Standing feebly not far from Temari, Shikamaru did feel a big headache, but because of Hinata's high pressure, he didn't know how he would be dealt with if he returned if he gave up, so it was the lesser of two evils. He bit the bullet and started a fight with the slick-haired woman in front of him.

"Then, the second duel!"

As the examiner, Shiranui Genma looked around and confirmed that the two were ready before raising his arms and shouting: "Start!"

"Wind Release! Kamaitachi!!"

Before Shiranui Genma finished speaking, Temari, who had already pulled out the iron fan, shouted loudly. The big iron fan in her hand suddenly flapped, and the whistling air flow turned into an invisible air blade with the addition of chakra, with a range of The sustainability is even more impressive!

"Alas!!"

Although Shikamaru was prepared for the sudden attack, he was still subconsciously taken aback. The slick-headed woman in front of him did it whenever she asked, and she also used such overwhelming and large-scale AOE moves. Shikamaru could only hug him in embarrassment. He rolled his head sideways and rushed straight into the woods of the arena. Although the range of Temari's Kamaitachi is large enough, its power is much lower. At least it cannot raze those sturdy woods to the ground. Shikamaru, who was hiding in the woods, also began to think about countermeasures in great depression. Since the war started, then Naturally, we had to find a way to defeat it.

(PS1: Hmm~ o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o~I will continue to update today~This is the first update~There are two more updates today~After thinking about it, I feel that the battle screen cannot be omitted anymore. After all, you have to fight when you need to. Fight, right?)

Shadow Techniques

Seeing Shikamaru's evasive behavior, Temari was convinced. This meant that the annoying pineapple head in front of her probably did not have the ninjutsu to face the enemy head-on, so she could only practice the sneaky shadow technique. This is Said that as long as you avoid that annoying shadow, you can basically ignore what the other party does.

snort! Although I couldn’t face that annoying woman with white eyes this time! However, it would also be a relief to deal with the guy who plotted against me last time!

With this thought, Temari paid close attention to the movements in the woods. This time it was obviously not like in the original work. There was no hole made by Naruto on the ground, and a small part of the woods was burned by Red Dragon Wave. , which means that the environment left to Shikamaru is quite harsh.

Really ~ is it an illusion or something? Why do you feel that the female ninjas are becoming more powerful these days? Will the male ninjas have a way out if this continues?

Lying on the ground and carefully observing Temari outside the woods, Shikamaru really wanted to just stay here and forget it, but his intuition told him that it was not that simple, although it was worse than Hinata, a slick-headed kunoichi. Far, but that is relative after all. From the fact that Temari was able to KO Tenten without any damage in the third test, it can be seen that she is definitely a strong player.

"Hmph! Do you just hide in the woods like a mouse? Then, I will drive you out~!"

Putting the iron fan into the ground in front of her with a bang, Temari reached into the ninja bag behind her waist with both hands and quickly took out two kunai with detonating talismans, and then headed towards the woods where Shikamaru was hiding. He threw it directly, and as a ninja tool with precise effects, the power of the detonating talisman was instantly displayed. The fire-attribute explosion directly ignited the branches of the forest, causing black and red smoke to rise instantly!

And at the moment when the explosion occurred, an elongated shadow flew extremely fast against the ground towards Temari outside the woods. This made the latter startled, and then she quickly did several backflips to widen the distance, and because Due to the length limit of the shadow binding technique, after Temari jumped back several times, the elongated black shadow finally stopped in front of Temari, and quickly rebounded like a rubber band stretched to the limit, returning to the woods.

"Ah! What a pity! Let her avoid it!"

Ino in the audience sighed subconsciously, but Choji on the side shook his head slightly: "No, it would have been easier if it was Shikamaru before, but for Shikamaru now, this level is not difficult for him."

Shadow Binding Technique is an extremely difficult secret ninjutsu. The most demanding thing is the ability to control chakra. Even someone as smart as Shikamaru only mastered one Shadow Binding Technique at this time in the original work. This can be seen from this. It’s amazing how difficult it is.

However, any move is divided by experience level. Even if it is the same shadow binding technique, its characteristics expressed at different proficiency levels are absolutely different.

Sure enough, just when Temari was about to leave a mark representing distance on the ground, the shadow that retreated before quickly jumped out of the woods again, and this time the single shadow suddenly retracted halfway, It tightened again from about the thickness of a wrist to the thickness of a finger. There is no doubt that this is a display of enhanced chakra control! !

A major limitation of the shadow imitation technique is that no matter how the length of the cast shadow changes, the overall area will not exceed the maximum value of one's own shadow. Moreover, there is a big misunderstanding that needs to be corrected, that is: the area of ​​this shadow is actually There is a maximum fixed value, that is, the area limit controlled by the caster.

Even if the shadow of other objects is used to increase the shadow area, this does not mean that the caster can control the unlimited shadow area. This is due to the caster's own limitations, although he can improve himself through continuous enhancement. The area can be controlled, but no additional increase in area will occur within a fixed period of time.

The shadow cast by Shikamaru with the help of the shadow of the wall was indeed measured by Temari to a safe distance for the first time, but this refers to the distance when the thickness of the extended shadow is about the size of the wrist. And when the thickness of the shadow suddenly shrinks to the level of a finger, the length it can increase under the same area will naturally double immediately! !

Among them, the role of chakra control is to further adjust the thickness of the shadow so that it can extend a longer distance within a fixed area! !

"What?! Did you just show weakness on purpose?"

Even Temari was shocked to find that the length of the shadow in front of her suddenly increased. She had already experienced the powerful restraint of this ninjutsu in the hotel last time, so she almost without thinking, circled and quickly evaded behind, trying to avoid what was in front of her. A shadow that snakes along the ground like a poisonous snake!

Well, if it were originally true, I would never be able to do this, but...

For more than half a month before the exam, the experience of being dragged along by Hinata for special training was not in vain.

Manipulating the shadow to quickly chase Temari who was dodging, Shikamaru's eyes also became rarely serious. At that time, Hinata's purpose was to control the movement of his own limbs and concentrate on manipulating the chakra in his body to struggle, but Shikamaru was used as his opponent. Maru needs to try his best to increase his chakra control every time so that Hinata won't break free easily.

The result of more than ten days of continuous training was that Hinata had the inner strength to ignore point attacks, and Shikamaru's proficiency in the shadow binding technique had basically increased by more than one level.

"It's true, as long as you are caught by that technique, you will lose! Temari is too strong!"

Kankuro in the stands couldn't help but whisper anxiously. As someone who was going to implement the plan to collapse Konoha, he hoped Temari would resist the urge to abstain in order to preserve her strength. However, this strong sister obviously did not intend to admit defeat in vain. Especially when the target is still that annoying pineapple head.

"But... it's not enough..."

Gaara, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke coldly, which made Sasuke and Shino on one side both frown, because they could also see clearly that even the shadow that Shikamaru was currently controlling was indeed extremely fast. , but still couldn't catch up with the extremely nimble Temari. It seemed that she was almost able to catch up, but she always stopped just a short distance away.

"hateful!!"

Temari's eyes suddenly shrank, and she noticed from the corner of her vision that she had unknowingly moved closer to the wall because of dodging the shadow, but the slender shadow in front of her eyes still didn't seem to be exhausted, and it seemed that she was determined to take her away. Push her into a corner and leave her with no way to escape!

"Stop looking down on people!"

With an angry shout, Temari jumped up suddenly, but she stabbed the iron fan behind her waist like a shovel into the wall behind her, and the sharp edge of the iron fan immediately pierced the solid wall under the infusion of chakra. , holding the handle of the fan with her arms and doing a backflip, Temari jumped onto her iron fan with great grace, and right under her feet, the shadow managed to climb a little distance on the wall, and finally twitched like a dead poisonous snake. After a moment, it quickly rebounded, apparently finally reaching the limit of the distance.

"Hmph! At best it's just..."

Raising her head proudly, Temari was about to speak, but she saw a cold light flashing suddenly in her sight. She quickly turned her head in shock, and a kunai accurately nailed the wall next to her head!

Do you perform a sneak attack immediately after unlocking the spell? It's a pity that such an ordinary kunai attack is impossible to hit! Moreover, since he has performed such an ordinary move, it means that his trump cards have indeed been exhausted!

A sneer appeared on Temari's lips as she thought about this. Although Shikamaru's attack range was indeed astonishingly large now, the maximum distance of the shadow could not reach the wall facing the sun. As long as Temari stayed here, she would be able to sit back and relax.

No way, it looks like it will take a little more effort.

Taking out a smoke bomb from the backpack on her waist, Temari narrowed her eyes slightly. Another weakness of the shadow binding technique is that it must rely on the caster's line of sight. Then, she only needs to use the smoke bomb to cover Shikamaru's eyes. line of sight, and then take the opportunity to use the art of cloning to mislead the opponent, and then take the opportunity to attack, you can definitely...

However, just when Temari tried to knock down the smoke bomb in her hand, she already felt her body stiffen, and a feeling of being unable to move came. There is no doubt that this is the feeling of being caught by the shadow binding technique!

"Huh... Although it's a bit laborious, fighting can still teach you a lot of skills... In short, the shadow imitation technique is a success."

Putting down his hands with seals, Shikamaru's left hand shone slightly. It was a slender steel wire that was connected to the end of the kunai on the wall beside Temari's face, and the dark shadow followed this wire. It accurately extended to Temari's body and then controlled her!

"Haha~ Is it the skill that was given to me by that sound ninja woman in the third exam?"

Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Yes, in the third exam, the sound ninja woman named Jin used Senbon with a wire to plot against Shikamaru, but he was controlled by the shadow of the wire. Now, although Temari no longer used the kunai with the wire, Shikamaru used this technique himself.

"Because Temari has a large-scale wind attack that can blow away shurikens, so if you want to use this move, you must first destroy the troublesome iron fan in the opponent's hand. Then, use a kunai with a steel wire. The final shadow connection is indeed what Shikamaru did.”
