Chapter 83 Nara Shikamaru vs. Jin

Those ghosts appeared and disappeared, like ghosts, and it was difficult to figure out their movements. Everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion, as if their minds were tightly grasped by an invisible force. They stared at the examination room with dull eyes, trying to find some clues from it.

The Third Hokage and Asuma looked at each other, their eyes flashing with endless questions. They frowned, their thoughts were in a mess, but they couldn't find any clues for a while. "Has the Yamanaka family developed a new secret technique?" The Third Hokage murmured in a low voice, with a bit of solemnity in his voice. Asuma pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "It's hard to judge at the moment, but its power and mystery are indeed beyond the past."

But before everyone could recover from this strange scene and explore the hidden problems, the next exam had already begun under the hosting of the dedicated Moonlight Gale.

Nara Shikamaru walked onto the field with a helpless look on his face. When he saw that his opponent was a woman, he could not help but feel powerless. He scratched his head and muttered, "Why is it a woman? This is really troublesome." Shikamaru knew that he could not deal with a female opponent as casually as usual, but his lazy personality made him unable to muster much fighting spirit. He had a bitter face and glanced around casually, as if seeking some kind of help or relief.

At this moment, a coughing sound broke Shikamaru's thoughts. "Nara Shikamaru vs. Jin, the exam begins," the solemn and loud voice of Gekko Hayate echoed in the field, instantly drawing everyone's attention back to the new duel that was about to begin.

Shikamaru quickly formed seals with his hands, his eyes revealing a trace of concentration. The shadow under his feet seemed to have life, rushing towards Jin at an extremely fast speed. The shadow meandered on the ground like a nimble black snake.

Looking at the rapidly approaching shadow, Jin was not panicked at all. She was light and graceful, and with two agile jumps, she easily dodged the shadow that was coming towards her. In the air, she was like a nimble bird, with graceful and smooth movements.

Then, Jin did not hesitate to launch two Senbons with bells on them towards Shikamaru. The Senbons came at him with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Shikamaru seemed very calm, and simply squatted down to avoid Jin's attack. With two "puffs", the Senbons sank into the wall behind Shikamaru, leaving only two deep holes. The bells trembled slightly in the air, making a crisp sound.

Seeing how agile and nimble Jin was, Shikamaru thought to himself, "This woman is really hard to deal with." But his face remained calm, and he formed seals with his hands again, controlling the shadow to attack Jin at a more tricky angle.

Seeing this, Jin dodged and tried to avoid the shadow's attack range. But something strange happened. Shikamaru's arm stretched as the shadow stretched - the shadow revolution, his arm also stretched. Jin was a little surprised for a moment, this strange ninjutsu was beyond her expectations.

Shikamaru took this opportunity and lashed out at Jin with his arm like a whip. Jin quickly recovered and dodged the sudden attack with a backflip. However, Shikamaru's attack did not stop. After missing the target, Shikamaru quickly retracted his arm and shadow.

At this moment, Shikamaru heard a series of crisp bell sounds. At the same time, the Jin in front of him began to change, one, two, three... until dozens of Jin appeared. Seeing Shikamaru's reaction, Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the sound of Jin's bells had a hallucinogenic effect. Seeing that Shikamaru had fallen into an illusion, Jin no longer hesitated, quickly took out several Senbon, and shot at Shikamaru.

"Puff, puff, puff", the sound of thousands of swords piercing into flesh rang out one after another, and just as Jin was showing a smug look on his face, Shikamaru on the opposite side underwent an astonishing change. The original Shikamaru turned into a dark body, like a shadow.

Jin was startled and thought to himself that something was wrong. The dark shadow-like "Shikamaru" suddenly moved, as fast as lightning.

Jin had no time to react. She only felt an extremely powerful force surging at her. She was instantly knocked away and fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"What on earth is going on?" Jin gritted his teeth, endured the pain and stood up with difficulty.

At this time, the black shadow "Shikamaru" slowly said: "Your illusion is not so easy for me to succeed."

Jin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Impossible, my bell has never failed before!"

The black shadow "Shikamaru" smiled coldly: "That's because you have never met a truly strong opponent." After saying that, the back of Jin's head was already pressed against by a sharp object.

Feeling the biting chill, Jin knew that he had already been defeated.

"Why?" Jin couldn't help but ask.

Shikamaru smiled proudly, "This is my special jutsu. I named it Shadow Mage. I had already used this skill when I launched the attack, but I was hiding in the shadows until you controlled me with the illusion, and then I switched places with it."

Jin's face turned pale, and he said unwillingly: "So that's it, I was careless."

Shikamaru put away his weapon and said, "Your strength should not be underestimated. If I hadn't prepared in advance, the outcome of this battle would still be uncertain."

Jin snorted coldly: "Humph, you win this time, next time I will definitely get double the return."

Shikamaru looked at her calmly: "At your service anytime."

After saying that, Shikamaru turned and left, leaving Jin staring at his back.

Looking at Shikamaru walking away, Moonlight Gale announced loudly: "Nara Shikamaru wins this exam!

The jonins on the side were already in deep depression, especially the tutors, who watched their students perform unprecedented ninjutsu one after another. The candidates from other villages were in extreme shock and confusion.

Unprecedented ninjutsu and unheard-of methods made them feel helpless. These young candidates seemed to have broken the shackles of convention, and the strength they showed was far beyond their expectations. The jonin of other countries had also clearly realized the seriousness of the situation. The abilities shown by these ninjas alone were beyond their cognition. "Is this Konoha's Genin?" They couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, and at the same time, they were deeply worried about the future development prospects of their village.

The powerful strength of Konoha Village was once again revealed to everyone, which undoubtedly put great pressure on other villages. Those jonin from other countries began to re-evaluate the gap between themselves and Konoha Village, thinking about how to strengthen the training of their own ninjas after returning to deal with possible challenges from Konoha.
