Chapter 198: Before Departure
🕑 Added 2021-12-11 10:30:32 +0000 UTCShikamaru wanted to combine the Chiyo technique that takes life force, as well as the Bloody Calling Jutsu - more precisely that part with the victims. All this in order to use not your own, but their life forces in the process. After all, who wants to harm themselves if there is an opportunity to sacrifice someone? In this respect, Orochimaru's Jutsu was useful in that it harmonized perfectly with Chiyo's Jutsu in terms of someone else's sacrifice, and not his own, by means of suicide. The problem was that combining these techniques and then applying them successfully was not an easy task. Shikamaru to this day could not find a way to completely resurrect without time limits, and even with someone else's sacrifice as a payment. Recently, he was already inclined to use not only his own chakra and sacrifice, but also his own life force. In this regard, Ranmaru's Dojutsu could help calculate the ideal proportion. Thanks to Senju and Uzumaki's genes, Shikamaru could afford to expend enough of this energy and not die. At least - it was the only option that came to his mind. All he could do was try to stabilize everything with his terrifying vitality. Otherwise, as calculations have shown, either the body will collapse and die, or the soul will simply leave it.
Of course, the downside of all this is that such a resurrection will definitely have to pay a price. Hashirama's body regenerated just at the instinct level, without any orders from the user. Simply put, Hashirama was unable to prevent his body from repairing itself and over time wasted a lot of vital energy. One or two fights cost nothing, but when there are hundreds of these fights since childhood, and the wounds exceeded the thousandths, it is not surprising that Hashirama could well have burned out and simply died ahead of time. The vital force inside a person is a rather interesting energy, which, unlike physical and spiritual, hardly grows, but rather slowly depletes over time. Of course, there are ways to increase it, for example, by transplanting Hashirama's cells, but for someone his level will no longer be raised, since he already had the most powerful genes. The life force, although it interacted with the chakra, was not enough to replace one with another. Of course, in the case of Shikamaru, thanks to mutations and the special circumstances of the bloodline, he could easily control the expenditure of vital energy, unlike Hashirama. But, even so, he was still not able to fill it up without buying new pedigrees of the corresponding type. He tended to comprehend Yin-Yang, but in his current situation he simply did not have the time and funds. And the control of the chakra has not yet disposed to such a high level of knowledge. Therefore, when someone is resurrected, he will simply lose a lot of vital energy, which it is not yet known how to replenish. Was it worth it? In Minato's case, Unholy Resurrection could also be used, but in the case of someone else ... Although, of course, it would be a lie to say that Shikamaru didn't just want to try and see if he could resurrect someone in perfect condition.
“Well, in any case, you need to deal with the appeal of the soul ... I will deal with this and the highest resurrection will be in my hands. If I can share the ability to sacrifice and use my own life force, then everything should work out "
Until the early morning, Shikamaru worked on a new ninjutsu, practicing along the way in his Ranmaru dojutsu. By that time, Sakura had taken the last pill and had reached the final step in her development, completely cleared of toxins in her body. Shikamaru could not praise such perseverance - she could very well have delayed taking the pills for a whole week, but it seems that having decided to impress the guy, she did everything in one night.
Sakura was breathing heavily, finally bouncing back, her whole body and clothes were ... in a terrible state. Of course, Shikamaru didn't show it, walked over and asked worriedly:
- How are you? Can you go?
Sakura lifted her head and smiled wryly.
“W-I'm sorry, I…” At the same moment, she began to fall to the side. Shikamaru caught her just in time, but Sakura had already passed out.
This night turned out to be the most exhausting in her life ...

- Kakashi-sensei ... How long do we have to wait? Sasuke asked displeasedly for an hour already, waiting for Sakura's arrival. Naruto had already slept a couple of times while they were sitting here.
Kakashi, who himself often made others wait, could only sigh:
- Who knows…
- What?! You know ... "Naruto stood up and rubbed his eyes." I'm tired of sleeping here! And anyway ... What did Shikamaru forget?
After a thoughtful pause, Kakashi shook his head and answered uncertainly.
- Who knows ... I saw him for the last time a couple of years ago, he has changed too much ... Now he is on a completely different level.
- In terms of? Naruto frowned. "Has he gotten even stronger?"
Even Sasuke grimaced in displeasure. All of their group at the academy knew this name - Shikamaru Nara. This name represented an insurmountable mountain. No one could say for sure about the true strength of Shikamaru, but everyone clearly understood that this guy is incredibly strong. Sasuke only crossed paths with him a couple of times, so he could not accurately assess Shikamaru's abilities. But, others spoke for him, even Naruto or Chоji, these two were pretty damn strong, especially the second. Sasuke still remembered how Akimichi had finished him without any problems in the first sparring. Everyone knew the reason, and the guy himself did not hide it. This is all because of Shikamaru, whose power is now completely undefined.
Therefore, Sasuke could only frown and listen to Kakashi reply:
- Stronger? You might not know, but ... - Kakashi decided to omit the details and simply replied: - Now, he is most likely not just stronger than me, perhaps his strength can rival the Hokage. I'm afraid to imagine what will happen next.
He was not lying, his instinct spoke of just such a thing. But, of course, he could not tell the students that even the Hokage had not caused such a feeling of tension in him.
- What?! - exclaimed in one voice Uchiha and Uzumaki: - He is so strong ?!
But, in response, a completely different voice followed:
"Don't exaggerate so much, Kakashi-san," Shikamaru appeared out of nowhere. In his arms he was holding a lovely Sakura, who looked even more adorable than usual. No one really understood her changes, but they certainly were.
- Sh-shikamaru! Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "W-what's wrong with you ?!" How did you grow up?
Kakashi was no longer surprised, he just gazed at Sakura thoughtfully, not understanding what he did to her, which made her look different ... Although, it doesn’t seem like it’s something dangerous.
- What with her? Kakashi asked immediately worriedly.
“Everything is fine, she’s just tired,” the guy replied calmly, placing her body on a free futon in the room. Now everyone was still in Tazuna's house, so there was enough room here.
- What are you doing here Shikamaru? Naruto asked quickly, "Where have you been?"
“It doesn't matter.” Shikamaru was not going to tell everyone he met his story, so he just went to the window and waved his hand to Kakashi and his two students: “I’ll finish one thing and come back, go to Konoha for now.” As a last resort, I myself will arrive at the Third. You can tell him so. Be there.
Without giving them a second to reply, Shikamaru immediately disappeared. However, he was not going to consult with them. He just warned them, it was the maximum that he could do. Sakura's condition pleased him, otherwise he was no longer interested in the seventh team. Even if there are at least two reincarnations in it, there is no benefit from them now.
