Chapter 87: Shikamaru vs. Ino and Chоji (2)

From the beginning, Chоji's maneuver was set up to create underground mud. He used the Mole technique, but at the same time changed the composition of the soil, then Ino just added water and attacked at the right moment. The mud wave was just a distraction to get rid of the snow and let Ino prepare the trap at the right time ... and smoke was also needed. It was probably just as Chоji used his technique that Yamanaka made her move.

Shikamaru looked at the serious girl again and asked with a half smile:

- Why haven't you transferred consciousness yet?

- It won't work, will it? The blonde replied with a grin.

Shikamaru grinned.

- Try it.

Ino's eyes flashed a mischievous light and she immediately tensed, after which she used the Consciousness Transfer technique. Shikamaru did not resist and instantly the girl's consciousness plunged into the guy's body.

"And this is interesting ..." - he felt as unusual as possible. This was the first time that Shikamaru had no control over his own body. But at the same time, he clearly understood what was happening and felt foreign energy interfering with him. It was clearly the girl's consciousness, she used the chakra ... Of course, Shikamaru also knew that he could easily displace her and even inflict retaliatory harm, moreover, he could well resist and generally prevent her from taking control. Naturally, he was not going to do this. Their results impressed him very much, maybe the Third helped them, but it is also not an easy thing to pull off such a thing.

At that moment, he heard Ino's joyful voice in his head:

- I won!

"Yes, good work ... You and Chоji did a good job. Well done. "Shikamaru naturally guessed who had thought of all this. Most likely, the Hokage helped them with everything, of course, it was possible that Ino was working on this plan. Good use of the strengths of both and a good combination of techniques. Chоji had successes in the Earth Jutsu, and the Water girl. Shikamaru had long ago identified their elements and taught weak techniques, I was glad that they decided to advance not only in clan Hijutsu. With good ninjutsu, even Ino might not be as helpless in battle as she was in canon. Of course, she clearly had nothing to teach very strong Jutsu, after all, she will not be a combat ninja in the future.

At Shikamaru's praise, the girl blushed slightly. Her body was now completely defenseless, but she was in no hurry to leave the guy's mind. In fact, she was even glad to have such a feeling of closeness.

- Th-thanks ... Only, you can resist, right?

The guy smiled. Ino was pretty smart and understood everything.

- I can, but why? You have shown great results. I think it will be difficult even for Genin to fight against such a combination. Of course, he obviously won't just stand still like me. You still have work to do.

Ino nodded curtly.

- Mm, I understand.

- Okay, you can already stop ... Although I adore listening to your voice, but we will not be here forever?

- Ah, y-yes! Okay. "Ino sighed softly and reluctantly left Shikamaru's mind. But, at that very moment, it finally dawned on her what he had said ...

"M-my voice ?!" Ino glanced sharply at the smiling Shikamaru and her cheeks flushed even more.

Having regained control of the body, the guy got out of the mud trap without any problems. After enjoying Ino's beautiful face, his spirits immediately lifted. Her sweet voice and embarrassed look were too charming.

While he might not have fallen into the trap, it was not difficult to get out of it, just using a little more strength.

The guys did a good job, so it was quite fair to count it as a victory.

Moving towards Chоji, Shikamaru patted him on the shoulder with a proud smile. The fat man had already recovered from the blow and was chewing chips.

- This is already worthy, practice the Mole's technique and work on the speed. You could very well try to catch me or trap me using your clan jutsu. If I hadn't been very close to your joint technique, you would hardly have won.

"Got it," said the fat man with his mouth full.

Shikamaru sighed and shook his head. He was actually a little dissatisfied with himself now. Although he noticed the trap and could have completely avoided it, it still wasn't enough. She almost touched his feet when he noticed her, it was not very good. He clearly had no experience in avoiding traps. Even the sound of the moving stream was too imperceptible ... But even so, he did not feel it at all. If he were a sensor, everything would have changed for sure. But for now, he was only focusing on the improved abilities of the Inuzuka. The sensor, on the other hand, would easily have sensed a catch and felt the chakra, even its slightest vibrations. It was sensors that were very dangerous opponents, especially if they specialized in speed. The Fourth Hokage was an excellent roughly strong and fast sensor. Even Obito was no match for him, with his Sharingan and Hashirama's genes.

With so many bloodlines, this was a clear flaw that Shikamaru naturally wanted to cover up. After all, sensorics are not only useful in combat, but also in the creation of technology, their greater understanding, and this is only the minimum of its benefit. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to become a sensor, you need to have innate skills. Although Shikamaru had Uzumaki's blood, for some reason this talent bypassed him. Sensing is probably not always transmitted in the pedigree. It looks like Karin didn't have this skill because of her blood. All this pushed Shikamaru to different thoughts and new aspirations ... Also, he decided to reconsider his views on the new forces that he wanted to acquire in the system very soon.

At that moment, Ino approached the guys, followed by Naruto, who did not intervene in the battle. But, the guy was clearly impressed by what happened, it could be seen from one of his looks. When he approached everyone, Ino tried to say something, but Naruto got ahead of her:

- Heck! So cool! Guys, I've never seen this before. You are so strong! Can you fight again?

Ino cast a displeased look at the boy.

- Naruto, what else have you forgotten here?

"Hey, Ino, stop it." Chоji intervened and looked at the blond. "How's Naruto doing?" Is there something you wanted to ask?

"Well, yeah ..." The guy was about to answer as Shikamaru said, "He wanted to talk to me."

- Yes? And what about? Ino asked curiously, and then looked at Naruto intently. "If you are going to ask him to train you, then don't even think about it, Shikamaru is teaching me today!"

- Hey, have you forgotten about me? Chоji asked displeasedly.

- Actually, I'm the first! By the way, I'm a girl, you weren't taught ...

When the two started arguing, Shikamaru slapped his forehead and then said loudly.

- Quiet!

The two immediately fell silent and turned towards Shikamaru. He shook his head in annoyance.

`` You are always fighting, stop ... ' ' Shikamaru looked at Naruto, and then at Ino and Chоji, and then nodded: - Okay, I'll train you three, and with you Naruto we have a conversation, let's go, - waving his hand, Shikamaru added, "Stay tuned, we'll chat with Naruto for now."

The guy smiled happily and ran up to Shikamaru, Ino and Chоji looked at each other and followed with a satisfied grin.
