Chapter 105 Shikamaru Comes for Revenge

[The teamwork between Yamashiro Aoba and Namiashi Raido was indeed impressive, but Kakuzu was no pushover either. After Kakuzu hardened his body with his earth spear, he only suffered a scratch on his headband.]

[Then Kakuzu leaped onto the roof, snatched Asuma's corpse to exchange for the bounty, and engaged in a few hand-to-hand combats with Aoba, revealing only a fraction of his true strength.]

[Pain then contacted them remotely, urging them to quickly complete the Tailed Beast mission.]

Although Kakuzu wasn't a good person, he was a refined old man.

He left with Hidan, who wanted to stay, and declared before leaving that he would return to retrieve the body.

"Phew~ Thank goodness, Yamashiro Aoba and Namiya Raido arrived in time, so Shikamaru and the others should be out of danger."

Asuma breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kakuzu and Hidan begin to retreat on the light screen.

To be honest, Asuma was prepared to sacrifice himself ever since he became a ninja.

The fact that he died at Hidan's hands in the light screen only shows that his strength was still very weak, and he has no one to blame but himself.

But Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji are still so young. With their family's secret techniques, they should have had a bright future, but instead, they have fallen into danger because of themselves.

If the three little ones were to die at the hands of Hidan and Kakuzu just like him, Asuma would probably never forgive himself.

Fortunately, reinforcements from Konoha arrived. He fought the Undying Duo without any concrete intelligence and only lost himself, which was acceptable.

Asuma can accept it, but Red cannot.

Judging from the appearance of Shikamaru and the other two on the screen, the battle probably took place only two or three years ago.

I had only been in love with Asuma for a short time, and then he died two or three years later?

How can I possibly accept this?

"Asuma, I think the Third Hokage is right, you should really start training harder."

Asma found it hard to bear Hong's resentful gaze.

It's as if he's a heartless scumbag.

"Uh, okay."

Asma chuckled and agreed.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage murmured, "He really has a wife and has forgotten his father. I said I wanted to supervise the training but he kept making excuses. But when his wife said she wanted to train, he immediately agreed with a big smile. Tsk tsk. It seems this old bone of mine is useless."

Asuma, Kurenai: "."

A few days later, Yugito, the Two-Tails, had her tailed beast extracted and perished.

Kakuzu took Hidan to Konoha to find the Tailed Beasts and retrieve their corpses, but they failed.

After leaving, the two lingered affectionately.

Kakuzu found Hidan a headband to cover the scar from Hidan's decapitation.

[He usually dislikes Hidan, but when necessary, he has to care for him like a loving parent.]

[As the two walked, Kakuzu became increasingly wary, realizing he was being watched.]

[Until Shikamaru appeared, a sudden explosion of tags and a chakra blade infused with shadow immobilized the two.]

"Ha, is Shikamaru here to avenge me?"

Asma was surprised.

Because the screen did not show footage of his battle with Hidan, they did not know anything about Hidan.

Seeing Shikamaru suddenly attack Hidan and Kakuzu, I was slightly surprised.

"It seems you and Shikamaru had a good relationship. You've only been 'dead' for a short time, and he's already brought people to avenge you."

Hearing Kurenai say that, Asuma smiled smugly and said, "Shikamaru and I do have a good relationship. Even though he hates trouble so much, he still comes to play shogi with me all the time."

Shikamaru's laziness is well-known throughout Konoha.

During his time at the Jonin Academy, if he wasn't sleeping in the classroom, he was sleeping on the rooftop.

Even after becoming a genin, he would dawdle and procrastinate during missions.

What's even more incredible is that during the Chunin Exams, even though he had already defeated Temari from Sunagakure, he chose to concede defeat.

The excuses for admitting defeat were utterly unconvincing; saying that his chakra was exhausted and he was already at the end of his rope was clearly an insult to the audience's intelligence.

He ran out of chakra after using Shadow Imitation Technique a few times?

Whether others believe it or not, Jonin like Asuma, Kurenai, and Kakashi definitely don't believe it.

Based on Asuma's understanding of Shikamaru, the reason he did this was most likely because he didn't want to participate in the next round of battle.

To Shikamaru's surprise, there was no next round of the competition. Gaara overturned the chessboard during his match against Sasuke.

Wanting to slack off, he had no choice but to reluctantly join his friends in attacking the enemy.

Man proposes, God disposes, haha.

Shikamaru: What a disaster!

"Do you think Shikamaru avenged you in the end?"

Asma thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "I don't think there's much hope."

Hearing this answer, Kurenai was taken aback. "Why?"

"In the battle where I died, Shikamaru and the others at most found out Hidan's combat information, but don't forget, Hidan had another teammate, Kakuzu, whom they still don't know."

Kakuzu's strength goes without saying; anyone who comes without knowing his information will suffer a great loss.

After all, no one would have guessed that this thing would have five hearts.

"I wonder who the Jonin leading this time is? If it's Kakashi, even if we can't win, we should be able to escape unscathed."

At this point, Asuma put his arm around Kakashi's shoulder and asked uncertainly, "You should be able to lead Shikamaru and the others to a successful retreat, right?"

Kakashi's lips twitched, he glanced at Asuma, and said, "Perhaps."

"Hehe, you're too modest."

Having received the answer, Asuma nodded with satisfaction, then said to Kurenai, "Apart from Kakashi, if it were Guy or you, Kurenai, leading the team, it would probably be a very bad situation."

"You bastard Asuma, you look down on me?"

"No, no, no." Seeing the redness, Asuma waved his hands repeatedly and continued, "I might look down on anyone, but I would never look down on you. You're the illusion master of our village. I just think illusions shouldn't have much effect on Kakuzu."

Asma's idea is actually quite normal.

Kurenai Yuhi is a ninja who primarily uses genjutsu (illusionary techniques), and is somewhat lacking in taijutsu (physical techniques) and ninjutsu.

If Konoha were to rank the Jonin's strength, Kurenai Yuhi would be among the weakest, if not the absolute bottom.

Her weaknesses are too obvious. With his rich combat experience, Kakuzu is unlikely to lose to her.

"Hmph, wait until we get home, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Upon hearing this, Asuma subconsciously touched his kidneys, sighed, and replied with considerable bravado, "Who's afraid of who? Let's fight until dawn!"

Kakashi: Damn it, why did I have to sit next to them? This is infuriating.

Parker: Kakashi, don't come any closer!
