Chapter 195 Shikamaru Decides to Die
What are you all doing gathered together?

Shikamaru and Choji walked over from a distance, looking at the crowd gathered together with some curiosity.

"nothing."

Everyone looked at them, and Naruto, who was in the middle, smiled gently at the two of them.

Naruto was not surprised by the arrival of Shikamaru and Choji.

He had already planned to include Shikamaru and Choji in his strategy.

After all, one is a strategist and the other is a logistics minister!

Since they were working for him, their abilities naturally needed to be strengthened.

Choji is easy to talk to; with delicious food dangling in front of him, he'd even jump off a cliff for it.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, is a bit difficult to deal with.

This guy is incredibly lazy; he'd rather sit than stand, and lie down than sit.

How can we get Shikamaru to train on his own initiative?

With a sudden thought, Naruto had an idea. He turned to Neji and Hinata and instructed them, "Practice the techniques I just mentioned first."

Then he walked towards Shikamaru.

Naruto glanced at the two of them, but no third person appeared for a long time. He was a little surprised that Ino would be absent from such an event.

Was something holding you back?

However, this is not the point.

Upon approaching, Naruto concealed his true thoughts, maintaining a calm, composed, and innocent expression.

As usual, he asked with concern, "Shikamaru, how's your Shadow Imitation Technique coming along?"

"It's alright," Shikamaru replied.

He noticed the expression on Naruto's face, especially the undisguised look in his eyes. This sense of incongruity gave him a bad feeling.

Naruto raised an eyebrow and beckoned with his finger, "Alright, how about we practice?"

"Fight you?" Shikamaru's face was full of refusal.

He hit Naruto?

Isn't that just delivering vegetables?
His intelligence would never allow him to do such a stupid thing.

"How about this, I promise to stay right here and not use any genjutsu, okay? You can't even use any ninjutsu or escape techniques!"

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru was a little suspicious, and he carefully observed Naruto's expression.

"Really?" he asked.

"of course."

Seeing that Shikamaru still had the intention to back down, Naruto provoked him, "You didn't come here just to look around and do nothing, did you? Come on! Let's practice!"

He then decisively extended his hand, giving Shikamaru no chance to refuse.

Seeing Naruto's outstretched hand, Shikamaru wanted to retort, "I was definitely dragged here by Choji! If my mom hadn't insisted I go out, I'd just want to lie in the yard and watch the clouds."

However, since his good friend had invited him, he had no reason to refuse.

Besides, Naruto had always been reliable in his memory.

"Ok."

He still held Naruto's hand.

The two stood about ten meters apart.

"start!"

Choji shouted from the side.

The battle began, but the two remained motionless, as if time had stood still.

They just stared at each other in silence.

"Uncle Choji, what are they doing?" Boruto couldn't understand what was going on.

Snap, snap!
After swallowing a potato chip, Choji loudly proclaimed, "I don't know."

Boruto turned his head and looked at him with surprise, wondering how he could be so self-righteous.

Shikamaru cautiously observed the other side, while his mind rapidly analyzed the information.

Naruto isn't using any ninjutsu or genjutsu, so what is his purpose? Remembering that Naruto had used Neji's Gentle Fist before, he had a bad feeling.

Is it
No, Shikamaru quickly refuted his own idea.

He had never seen Naruto practice his family's ninjutsu, and besides, such secret techniques were passed down in the family, so how could outsiders come into contact with them?
"We can only give it a try."

Staring at Naruto, who was standing motionless opposite him, Shikamaru used the Shadow Imitation Technique.

To his bewilderment, Naruto opposite him moved in sync with his movements.

Like a mirror image.

"This gesture."

Shikamaru's eyes twitched when he noticed Naruto's handprint.

Could my premonition come true?

His own shadow has already been activated, but what about Naruto?

He quickly glanced at the shadow beneath Naruto.

There were many trees around, but the two of them stood in an open space where there wasn't even a blade of grass, let alone the shadow of a tree.

Therefore, Naruto's shadow was seen exceptionally clearly.

Suddenly, the shadow beneath Naruto began to move under his control.
It's moving?

Shikamaru was startled.

It's actually true?! We're doomed!

Before the shock had subsided, Naruto's shadow rapidly lengthened, quickly becoming an incredibly thick black line, heading straight for him.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Shikamaru's forehead, and he promptly started running.

"Thank goodness. I expected this!"

Even if this situation were absurd, Shikamaru was already prepared for it.

Naruto forbids movement, but Shikamaru can move freely.

Everyone's shadow length is limited. Even though Naruto has mastered this ninjutsu, his proficiency is definitely not enough!

As long as
Shikamaru wanted to continue moving, but found that his whole body was stiff and he could not even move a finger!

He then realized that he was frozen in place, in a running posture, completely still.

I was actually captured by Naruto's shadow?
So fast?
Unable to move his body, and even his eyes could not move too much, he could only look at the ground with his astonished gaze.

The sight of Naruto's massive, dark shadow filled him with dread.

"Dad actually knows this trick?"

Boruto stared in astonishment at the incredibly agile shadow that Naruto was controlling at will.

Boruto had seen the ability to control shadows before; he knew it was a secret technique unique to the Nara family. How could his father also know this trick?
"Haha, got caught!"

Naruto laughed happily, like a big, silly guy who had just opened a box and found three gold items.

"So."

Naruto's tone suddenly turned sinister, and his face was equally grim. "Next, please watch Shikamaru-chan's dance medley."

"Huh?" ×N
Neji, Hinata, Lee, Tenten, and the others who had gathered around out of curiosity all looked bewildered and confused.

What is a dance medley?
"here we go!"

With a loud shout, Naruto began to skillfully control his massive, mountain-like shadow, 'ravaging' Shikamaru's body.

How to trample on it?

Dancing, of course!
His chakra is as deep as the ocean, enough for Shikamaru to jump to the end of the world!
Then, right before everyone's eyes, Shikamaru gloriously performed the Gokuraku Jodo dance!
Naruto brought those alluring dance moves, those seductive steps, and even the captivating little expressions on his face to life with his masterful control!
It was absolutely wonderful.

"Hahaha"

Those who were indifferent to the matter laughed the loudest, and soon everyone else was laughing unrestrainedly as well.

Hinata, after a moment of stunned silence, blushed.

As for Shikamaru, the person involved, he looked utterly hopeless.

However, no matter how bad his expression was, his body, under Naruto's control, performed all sorts of difficult moves.

"It's over! I, Shikamaru, am finished!"

At this moment, even though he was just giving up, his face was flushed, after all, he was still young.

I!
Nara Shikamaru!

I really want to die!
However, under Naruto's control, it's difficult for them to even move a finger, let alone die.

After enduring endless humiliation, Shikamaru made a solemn vow: He will definitely! He will definitely! Make everyone present dance this dance for him!!!
No sooner had the harsh words left his mouth than Shikamaru, under Naruto's control, struck a flamboyant pose, causing everyone to laugh even louder.

At that moment, Shikamaru really wanted to die!
Shikamaru jumped for an entire afternoon.

That night, it gradually got dark.

As night fell, Konoha welcomed its great night.

Ok.

Naruto chose to shut down his brilliant light, allowing the world to rest for one night.

Who told him to be so kind-hearted!

After personally taking the nearly exhausted, paralyzed, and unconscious Shikamaru home, and sincerely apologizing to Shikamaru's parents.

Naruto and Boruto were walking home along the path.

"Uncle, is Uncle Shikamaru alright?"

"fine."

Others may not know, but surely Naruto knows?

Shikamaru is one of his best friends, how could he possibly let Shikamaru be in danger?
I was given several Xiaoyao pills during the treatment period.

Shikamaru was just faking being dizzy!
Cough
After all, I can't face anyone if I don't feel dizzy!
Hopefully, Shikamaru will behave himself from now on and stop being lazy in his training.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have any other choice!

After all, they're good friends. We can't just let him have his way and treat it like a normal life!
However, after receiving personal instruction from Naruto, a master-level figure, and especially after Shikamaru experienced it firsthand, he will surely achieve a great leap in strength with just a little understanding.

Let's look forward to Shikamaru's improvement in strength!

"Dad, do you even know the Nara family's shadow magic?"

Boruto was so excited that he forgot to use proper titles.

Before today, he had never imagined that the Shikadai family's shadow technique could be used in this way.

That's so incredibly cool!

Naruto replied modestly, "I know a little, I know a little! I only know a little."

"Haha, Dad, you're too modest!"

Boruto was absolutely certain that it was because his father was too modest that he kept so many good things from him.

He's made up his mind!

After returning home, he became an apprentice of his father and learned so many different ninjutsu techniques!
With so many cool ninjutsu techniques available, Sasuke, who isn't exactly cool, can just take a backseat.

Who is Sasuke?

do not know!
