(Tears, the unit rest has ended, and we will resume the daily guaranteed update of 3,000 yuan starting today. If the condition is good, I will try my best to update as much as possible...)

Since Gaara appears, Shikamaru's purpose of injuring Kankuro and Temari, so that Gaara cannot take the Chunin exam will be shattered. Not to mention the one-on-one match between the two, the outcome is still unknown - in fact, Shikamaru's strength at this time is still inferior to Gaara - Kankuro and Temari are enough to exert their strength under Gaara's restraint, so that they will not end up fighting with Shikamaru hard for physical skills.

Therefore, when Gaara and Kankuro and Temari left, Shikamaru did not stop him.

"Damn it, that fat man who is singing the opera actually left like this." Naruto saw Gaara and three other Sakumi Shimoin left after asking Shikamaru's name, and turned a blind eye to him. He couldn't help but become angry: "I really have no vision."

However, thinking of what Temari had said before, Naruto couldn't help but clapped his hands and said excitedly: "They are going to take the Chunin Exam! I will also take it at that time, and I must win the exam!"

"What do you think? Konohamaru?" Naruto turned his head and looked at Konohamaru beside him, but found that the other party was crying at this time and was staring at him fiercely, with resentment in his eyes.

"Brother Naruto, you are so inferior. I'm so disappointed!" It was fine when the atmosphere was tense before. At this time, the three ninjas in the Hidden Village left. When they relaxed, Konohamaru could no longer hold back the tears of fear. While crying, he pointed at Naruto and sobbed.

"Ah, don't say that, Konohamaru, then I will teach that fat man who is performing hard during the Chunin exam and vent your anger!" Seeing this, Naruto quickly squatted down, leaned over to Konohamaru with a smile, and whispered comfort.

"Shikamaru," ignored Naruto's fun, Sakura walked to Shikamaru who had been looking at Gaara and the other two left, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," Shikamaru seemed to come back to his senses, smiled at Sakura, and looked at Naruto who was comforting Konohamaru, warning: "The three sulinas in the Sand Hidden Village are very strong. If you want to take the Chunin Exam, be careful about them."

"Is there anything?" Naruto scratched his hair when he heard Shikamaru's words, and asked in confusion: "That fat man and the woman holding the fan are not your opponents at all. What's so amazing about it?"

"Or are you boasting in disguise!?" Naruto touched his chin, squinted his eyes at Shikamaru, looking thoughtful.

"Did you forget how you fell just now?" Sakura turned around and scolded Naruto, apologizing to Shikamaru for him.

"No, it's not that I'm much better than the two of them." Shikamaru thought about it, and still explained to Naruto. Sakura and the other two said, "The person wearing a black one-piece suit and wearing makeup on his face should be a puppet master from Sand Village, and is not good at physical skills."

"Puppet Master?" Except for Sakura, Naruto, Konohamaru, Udon and Moehuang all felt confused when they heard this.

Seeing that the few people looked confused, Shikamaru spoke out: "The puppet master can control puppet dolls like puppets using chakra threads. There are many mechanisms on the puppet dolls, and they are usually good at using poison, which often makes the enemy unable to defend. Their main strength is to rely on more puppet dolls to carry with them. The Sand Ninja named Kankuro, the thing wrapped in bandages on his back may be his puppet dolls. I have never given him time to use puppet dolls, and suppressing him is nothing. As for some details about the puppet master, you can find time to ask Teacher Kakashi. He should know more than me."

"Brother Shikamaru, you know a lot. Where did you learn these?" Konohamaru ran to Shikamaru at some point, raised his head and showed a big smile, and asked with a little admiration.

"…..." Sakura patted her forehead and said helplessly to Naruto, Konohamaru and others who were also ignorant of everything: "This is learned in the Ninja School! Isn't there an introduction to the ninja paper in the textbook?"

"Oh! I remembered it!" Naruto clenched his fist with his right hand, and hit his left hand, looking like he suddenly realized it, but Sakura, who was familiar with him, naturally understood that he was holding on and did not expose it.

"Koyemaru, is that your companion?" Shikamaru turned around and gently rubbed Koyemaru's hair standing quietly beside him, saying, "You are going to take the exam recently. I promised Teacher Asma that I will guide you in your studies in the next week. You can let them come with you."

"Okay, Brother Shikamaru!" Konohamaru smiled and waved to Udon and Moehuang, letting them come over, and then covered their mouths and said to Naruto with a low smile: "Brother Naruto, I won't interfere with you!" The secretly pointed at him and was alone with Sakura.

"I'll leave first, Sakura, Naruto," Shikamaru looked thoughtfully at the direction of the woods beside him and said loudly: "If you want to take the Chunin exam, be careful of the ninjas coming from abroad. Many people are angry about the reputation of Konoha Ninja Village and are hostile to Konoha Ninjas."

"interesting."

In the direction Shikamaru looked before, in the small bushes on the side of the street, two men and one women and three were sitting or standing on the trunk. At this time, they were sitting in the middle, one with a straw raincoat on his back, a hunched back, and a bandage wrapped around his head. The man with only one eye exposed could not help but speak when Shikamaru left.

A girl with long dark hair standing next to her saw this and said, "He seems to have discovered us!"

"It seems that Sasuke is not here?" Another young man with long hair but combed up with flamboyant hair asked his companion.

The three of them had foreheads on their foreheads, and there was an eighth note on their foreheads. These three were the three ninjas sent by Yinin Village to participate in the Zhongnin selection - Tos, Jin, and Sak.

"Forget it," Toss whispered, looking towards the end of the street, in the direction of Shikamaru leaving: "But pay attention to the ponytail of Konoha Village."

"I think he seems to be proficient in physical skills." Sak recalled the battle between Shikamaru and Kankuro and Temari just now, and frowned.

"Maybe, but our main target is Uchiha Sasuke. This person is very strong. Try not to provoke him so as not to cause any extra ties." Tos seemed uncomfortable and said after turning his neck fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Sak rubbed his wrists, sneered and said, "It depends on whether he knows the truth."

"Then you can only kill him." Toss said calmly, obviously not taking Shikamaru to heart. The internal elimination and selection of Yinnin Village founded by Orochimaru is very cruel. Even if the three of them are just Shininin, they don't know how many battles and almost dead they have experienced. Naturally, they have a high opinion of themselves and do not think that other Shinin is their opponents.

…………

A few days later, Konoha exercise field.

"In the battle, saving a little more chakra may mean that you can use one more ninjutsu." Konohamaru, Udon and Moehuang were standing in front of Shikamaru, listening quietly to Shikamaru's explanation: "So the control of chakra is very important."

"Shikamaru!" Dingji and Ino came to the exercise venue at some point, walked to Shikamaru and greeted him: "You're here so early."

In Konoha Village, becoming a lower ninja or even a superior ninja does not mean that you can stop taking on tasks and focus on practicing in the future. There are hard standards every month. This day is the day when the tenth class should gather to do tasks according to the schedule of work and schedule.

"It's not long before." Shikamaru smiled, pointed to the three children who acted as his student, and introduced them to them: "This is Konohamaru, Udon and Menghuang."

"Sister Ino, Brother Ding Ci, Hello!" Menghuang took the lead in greeting, with a slightly pleasing tone, and then Udon and Konohamaru spoke together.

While the few were talking and laughing, Asma's figure had appeared from the path outside the exercise venue. Unlike Kakashi's laziness, although the atmosphere inside the tenth class was still relaxed, it was based on Asma's own patience and hard work.

After saying hello to Shikamaru and others one by one, Asma announced that the tenth shift today did not have to go to the mission delivery center to undertake the task. Instead, he took out three pieces of paper from the ninja kit and handed it to Shikamaru, Ino and Dingji.

In the upper left corner of the paper, a huge character "君" is very conspicuous, and a white-edged round frame encloses it. Inside the paper table, there is a stamp of a Konoha administrative agency. The top is written with "Zhong" and "Zhi" in different fonts, and the following is a slightly more detailed explanation.

"Although it's a bit sudden, I've signed up for you in the Chunin exam." Asma saw that Shikamaru and the other two looked down at the paper, she said, "This is an application form. This exam is not enforced. The specific choice depends on your wishes. Whether to take the exam or not is your freedom."

"But I personally recommend you to take it. Although this exam is also dangerous, it is a very valuable opportunity to experience. After all, as a Shinin, you rarely have the chance to fight against ninjas. After this exam, you can also see the strength of ninjas in other countries." Asma saw Ino and Dingji fall into deep thought and couldn't help but speak out.

"If you want to take the exam, sign your name on this application form, and then go to classroom 301 of Ninja School before 4 pm tomorrow." Asma did not say that the Chunin exam was a collective registration method. Although he hoped that Shikamaru could take the Chunin exam, Ino and Dingji, as his subordinates, Asma would respect their choices in any case, but he would still give a little guidance.

"By the way, Asma Sarutobi seemed to have thought of something, and slapped his head and said to the three of them - mainly to Ding Ji, who looked ugly when he heard him say the word "danger". "If you perform well in this exam, I will invite you to barbecue - eat it all!"

"…..." Ino couldn't help but squint his eyes at Asma, obviously hearing the temptation in the other party's tone, and his expression was helpless.

"Okay, you three think about it carefully, and I'll leave first." Seeing this, Asma chuckled and said to Konohamaru, Udon and Moehuang, "You three are here with me, don't disturb them." dd
