Though the talk with Shikamaru made Shikai ashamed but since shikamaru didn't care much shikai too ignored the talk that happen
Through trials and error He has been finally been able to hide within his shadow so today he planned to try this with his brother so he secretly attached his shadow overlapping with Shikamaru shadow and tried to follow Shikamaru within the shadow , but due to high chakra consumption it can only be maintained to 15 min and during this period at least Shikamaru didn't knew about being followed by his brother.
after this experiment he was pretty much confident being able to hide within the eye of Chunin level ,but hiding from jounin can be difficult.
so, now Shikai main problem was to increase chakra level and he begun to think about that
Time laps
Due to being only thinking and trying to increase chakra level at the end of academy year he finally managed to get chakra level 1 and the time for graduation came ,
By this time his shadow hiding technique can be maintained to 30 min.
well the graduation was similar to the anime so Naruto failed the exam and was depressed , Shikai returned home with Shikamaru as he don't have anything to do untill the evening
so , during the evening
Shikai" hey! bro i will just go around the village and roam , and also see if Naruto is well okey , inform mom "saying this he went out
Shikamaru lazily says "yes"
the after going round the village Shikai sees Naruto sneeking around the building of hokage so he assimilated to nearby shadow and through it he quietly attached to Naruto
but , he suddenly felt the great danger but he maintained himself within naruto's shadow
then he suddenly got that the prevIous danger waS from the chakra of nine-tali remembering this he mouthed nine tail " fuck you kurama"
after that the story progressed similarly , Naruto stole the sealed copy and learned the multiple shadow clone jutsu and during the sneak peak Shikai too got the knowledge how to perform shadow clone so hIs work was almost done
the he sneaked out of shadow behind the tree to perform chakra cycle , during this moment , various drama of Mizuki's entrance , then Naruto not giving the seal copy then Iruka sensei entrance then some backstory then finally the large Shuriken throw of Mizuki startled Shikai seeing the speed of shuriken throw and speed of Mizuki chasing Naruto .
Shikai then was full of sweat " how tf is Mizuki just Chunin , he is clearly low level jounin"
how are Naruto and Iruka ,turning his head he see shuriken pearcing Iruka's back and Naruto crying ,
then Shikai suddenly thought that jounin level isn't something that Naruto an handle with multiple shadow technique so he had to do something
while thinking this Naruto has already performed clones and attacked Mizuki but Mizuki being a jounin effortlessly solved them ,
seeing all this Shikai ran out of the shadow
" swishhhhhhh" toward Naruto
Mizuki was surprise seeing Shikai
Mizuki " oh ! another child who wanted to die today"
Shikai being fear full while facing jounin " Naruto you fine!, i will distract him for a moment , you understand just a moment ,
I can't hold a jounin level more than 5 second so do that earlier thing and attack with all power"
Naruto being awakened " Shikai , why are you here "
Shikai " idiot ! did you understand what i just said"
Naruto " um!"
Mizuki " done with the plan ? hahaha , come fast 2 demon i gotcta solve you fast and run away , Anbu might be catching up soon"
Naruto and Shikai now were ready and did what they could
firstly Naruto made multiple clones and started to attack Mizuki , but Mizuki was just dodging while playing with Naruto
while this time Shikai swiftly made his shadow thin like a whip and elongated it around the tree and sneak it from the blind point of Mizuki as you can't obviously attack jounin directly
then his shadow swiftly attached to the Mizuki shadow ,
Shikai" now Naruto attack"
saying this he concentrated binding Mizuki
Naruto without missing chance did a barrage of kicks and punches toward Mizuki,
Shikai was already cold sweat thinking if this won't work , time was passing as
4
3
2 1!!! and 0
Shikai was out of breath and chakra Mizuki was free and started to revolute against Naruto but couldn't do much as had already taken too much damage so fell down
after that story processed as Anbu arrived Mizuki was taken to the hokage as instruction Iruka sensei was send to hospital and Naruto and Shikai were also end to Hokage for question
Naruto's story was the same as been instructed by Mizuki to steal the copy to learn technique to be able to pas the exam
Shikai's story was" i was searching for Naruto as thought he might be sad being unable to pass so during that time i saw he sneaking from Hokage building i thought he was doing a prank as usual and didn't disturb him and went to home
but , during that time i saw Iruka sensei running toward the direction of naruto with worry face so i followed and saw Mizuki sensei attacking Naruto and Iruka sensei taking the attack"
with just this he wasn't proven to be out of guilty so asking the family of Shikai, they found Shikai had gone to meet Naruto so his case was finally cleared
That night Anbu took Shikai home where he was questioned by Shikamaru and Yoshino what happened and he said the story same as he told Hokage which ended the questioning and the day
Next morning was the day for team formation and group teacher selection
so both Shikamaru and Shikai went to academy where they found Naruto wearing headband , they weren't much surprised a hearing Shikai story , but
Sakura was asking Naruto" why are you here "
and the rest
during the chearing of girls to Sasuke and Naruto glaring the emo head suddenly there happened the scene which Shikai was waiting
Naruto suddenly lip kissed Sasuke
Shikai was laughing aloud" ahhahaha, that was awesome naruto do once more"
Shikamaru was like "ahhhhh "full mouth opened
along with girls who were shouting toward Naruto
