Kinoshita Shadow

Chapter 199 Thank you

Tsunade's eyes followed the closed door, she breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and then took out a few forms from the drawer.

This is the recommendation list for Sarutobi Asuma, Chiba Genma, Shiranui Genma, and Morino Ihiki.

The format of the recommendation is similar. First, describe some deeds in simple and concise words without (or try not to bring) subjective consciousness, then follow with a short recommendation, and finally with suggestions.

Sarutobi Asuma's recommendation list has the largest number of pages, and has written many of Shikamaru's deeds since he was a genin. This includes not only his performance in the Land of Waves mission, but also his usual attitude in performing missions and his employer's evaluation. They are all written down one by one.

, although she tried her best not to bring her own personal feelings, Tsunade could still read between the lines of Sarutobi Asuma's appreciation and love for Shikamaru.

"Calm and alert, mature and steady, and responsible for taking on important responsibilities!" This is Sarutobi Asuma's recommendation.

Chiba Gennori wrote about Shikamaru and his learning of medical ninjutsu and his practice during the chunin exams. He focused on Shikamaru's learning attitude and motivation for practice at that time. The final comment read, "Perseverance and seriousness, bravery and diligence, the genin's

Elite, hereby recommended."

Shiranui Genma and Morino Ihiki described Shikamaru's performance during the Chunin Exams and his choices when the Konoha Collapse Plan occurred.

The former was evaluated as “having a view of the overall situation far beyond that of his peers, knowing how to make choices, and can be a leader.”

The latter is "resolute, courageous, strong, and able to take on the important task of leading a team."

The comments of several people were extremely brief, but they pointed out their reasons for recommending and Shikamaru's advantages. However, these did not actually make Tsunade, who had been extremely strong in front of others recently, show a rare hint of weakness.

The reason, what really gave her some hesitation and headache was the final "suggestion" from the four people.

Because the recommender is more or less familiar with the person being recommended, according to tradition, most of them will write down the department they think the person being recommended is suitable for at the end of the recommendation form, and the same goes for the four of them.

At the end, Morino Ihiki suggested that Shikamaru join the torture and interrogation department. In other words, Morino Ihiki suggested that Shikamaru should work under him.

Tsunade threw aside Morino Ihiki's recommendation list with one glance.

"What do Ibiki think..." Tsunade held her forehead and groaned.

Perhaps Morino Ihiki developed a love for talents after observing Shikamaru's performance, but it is also the case. Shikamaru, who is calm, wise, and has an amazing will, seems to be very suitable to join the torture and interrogation department. No matter what kind of person he faces,

Any prisoner can maintain an absolute psychological advantage and a strong style. Ibiki thinks that if Shikamaru gets his guidance, he may not be able to become an excellent torture officer...

It's a pity that Tsunade didn't agree with Ibiki's opinion at all. Not to mention that Shikamaru was possessed by Orochimaru's curse seal, Jiraiya's intention in making her Shikamaru's teacher was to prevent him from repeating Orochimaru's mistakes and torture the interrogation department.

, is the prison system of Konoha Village. In fact, in terms of the degree of darkness, it is far more serious than the ANBU. It is simply the best in Konoha. Tsunade is even worried that Shikamaru will be mentally abnormal if he stays in this department for a longer time.

Looking at the three remaining forms, Tsunade looked a little hesitant.

Chiba Gen is a medical ninja in the medical emergency class, and has taught Shikamaru medical ninjutsu. He is very aware of Shikamaru's talent. He always hopes that this young man will focus more on medical ninjutsu, so he recommends Shikamaru.

Join a medical first aid class.

As for Sarutobi Asuma and Shiranui Genma, both of them unanimously recommended Shikamaru to join the "ANBU", which is the assassination tactics special force of Konohagakure that is famous in the ninja world.

Contrary to what outsiders think, the ANBU of Konoha Village does not include all the best Jonin. After all, although the ANBU is an important department, other parts of Konoha Village also need manpower.

As a combat unit directly under the Hokage, and one of the few departments that can fight with other Ninja Village ninjas during peacetime, there are many Chuunin in the ANBU.

But they must be the most outstanding and promising group of ninjas at the same level. In the words of Shikamaru's previous life, these people are actually the disciples of the Emperor, members of the ANBU who are under the direct leadership of the Hokage. Even if they quit in the future, they will be labeled

With the brand of Hokage, there are a lot of actual combat opportunities against high-level ninjas, and it can also provide excellent personal training. Many young ninjas who have been outstanding in Konoha Village, after becoming chuunin, most of them have long or short ANBU

Employment experience.

After some hesitation, Tsunade finally made up her mind and took away Chiba Gen's recommendation form.

Although she wanted to take the medical department into her hands as soon as possible. As a medical ninja, she also wanted her disciples to follow the same path as her. However, Shizune's presence in the medical department was enough to assist her in mastering it. Shikamaru himself did not really want to become one.

As a medical ninja, Tsunade could see this, so it was not appropriate for Shikamaru to join the medical emergency class.

On the contrary, the ANBU has not yet been completely mastered by Tsunade, and it can provide a lot of practical opportunities to train Shikamaru. It is indeed a good place.

Now that she has Shikamaru as her disciple, Tsunade is not ready to just take things lightly. Whether it is due to her reputation or her own character, she cannot see Shikamaru become a mediocre ninja.

…………

Walking out of Tsunade's office, Shikamaru obtained the certificate and the issued standard leather armor in the Hokage Building. The government staff composed of ninjas were indeed not as efficient as ordinary people. Shikamaru took the shot issued by Tsunade.

After receiving the certificate, he easily took out the leather armor and the certificate with complete procedures.

There are many strange beasts in this world. Even Shikamaru is not sure about the origin of the material of the leather armor, but the size is suitable. Although the protective ability has not been tested, I think that the standard equipment of Konoha Village, the head of the five ninja villages, will not

No, Shikamaru checked carefully and found that there were small steel plates sewn inside the leather armor in key parts such as the chest. Generally speaking, the focus was still on lightness and flexibility. In terms of protection, it was actually mainly aimed at Kunai Ryuya.

As for the certificate, it is actually a bit like the qualification certificate for some skills in Shikamaru's previous life. It is actually of little use in Konoha Village and is more of an honor.

After getting the leather armor and certificate, Shikamaru did not go home immediately. He knew that several genin from the same period were still at home preparing to celebrate him, but before that, he had another place to go.

…………

Sarutobi Asuma's residence is located in a five-story building not far from the Hokage Building.

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief when he came to the door, slightly adjusted the standard leather armor he had just put on, and then knocked on the door of Asuma Sarutobi's house.

The sound of knocking on the door was a bit harsh in the silent corridor. Shikamaru waited for a moment and then heard a "squeak" and the door had been opened.

The person who opened the door was not Asuma Sarutobi, but a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and long hair hanging down her shoulders.

When Shikamaru saw this woman, he was slightly startled, then quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Senior Kurenai is here too?"

This heroic and beautiful woman is none other than the Jounin of Konoha Village, Kurenai Yuhi.

"Yeah..." Yuhi Kurenai seemed a little shy, her cheeks flushed, but after her eyes fell on Shikamaru's standard leather armor, she seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Are you here to see Asuma?

"

Shikamaru nodded.

"I just have to go out for something. You two should stay alone for a while!" Kurenai Yuhi heard this and smiled, stepped out of the door, made room for Shikamaru, and turned around to leave.

Shikamaru looked at Yuhi Kurenai's back thoughtfully.

When Sarutobi Asuma was injured, the person who visited him the most was neither Konohamaru as his nephew, nor Ino, Choji and Shikamaru as his subordinates, but Kurenai Yuhi.

In the past, when Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai first tried dating, she was still very reserved and low-key, but for some unknown reason, after Sarutobi Asuma was injured, she gradually boldly revealed her love.

Shikamaru shook his head and laughed at himself. She didn't know what Yuhi Kurenai was thinking, and there was no need to guess. After all, as a female ninja with a high level, she was really not comparable to other ordinary women. Her strength and status were enough to ensure her true status.

Independence, not to mention the experience of being a ninja is a valuable asset. The criteria for selecting a partner, wealth and power are probably secondary.

While thinking about it, he walked slowly into the entrance hall and closed the door with a light sound.

The previous movements had already alerted Asuma Sarutobi. At this time, he had already arrived in the living room and happened to see Shikamaru putting on slippers.

"Asuma-sensei!" Shikamaru saw Asuma Sarutobi appear with a hearty smile on his face, like a child who had just achieved good results and was showing off to his elders. He raised the chuunin certificate in his hand and said loudly: "

I became a chuunin!"

Sarutobi Asuma looked at Shikamaru's rarely shown expression, was slightly startled, and then laughed happily: "That's great!"

"Go to the living room first!" Sarutobi Asuma waved to Shikamaru, and when he waved his right hand, there was a dazzling black accompanying it.

Shikamaru smiled and nodded, not looking at Sarutobi Asuma's hand. He just walked quickly into the living room, and without any courtesy, sat directly on the sofa and put the chuunin certificate on the coffee table.

"I didn't expect you to become a chuunin, you are considered a captain!" Sarutobi Asuma walked to Shikamaru with a smile, picked up the chunin certificate, and looked over it over and over. He also had this thing himself.

I don’t know how many times I have read it, and I have almost memorized the content, but at this time I still can’t hide my inner excitement.

When Shikamaru heard Sarutobi Asuma's words, he said nothing and just smiled shyly.

As far as the eye can see, the black leather fingertips on the thumb and ring finger of Sarutobi Asuma's right thumb, left little finger, and left hand are extremely conspicuous against the paper of Chunin certificate.

"Thank you for your teaching, Asuma-sensei!" Shikamaru said sincerely, looking at the happy Asuma.
