Chapter 197
🕑 Added 2021-12-11 10:30:06 +0000 UTCTazuna almost wet his pants when he saw a huge dragon's mouth, and when he heard the pitiful cries of those whom she mercilessly swallowed, his body shuddered in horror. This was the first time he had seen something as terrifying as a wood-based technique in action.
The dragon behaved slightly carelessly, so that the bridge was slightly damaged, and a lot of blood was splattered.
- Wow! - Shikamaru stretched his shoulders and nodded contentedly: - Glorious fight, I'm already sweating all over!
Kakashi shifted a tense gaze to him and frowned even more. It's a heartless murder and even a mockery, Shikamaru has definitely changed ...
After examining his defeated students, Kakashi sighed and slowly crept up to Sasuke, examining his condition, but Shikamaru got ahead of him, reaching the boy's body and starting treatment.
An emerald light surrounded Sasuke, and then Naruto. Shikamaru dealt with those two and then nodded to Kakashi.
“Then they can handle it, but he…” Glancing at the defeated Zabuza, Shikamaru sighed: “He should be buried.
Kakashi nodded glumly, and then asked:
"What about that kid ... Haku?"
- I'll deal with him. Your task is completed and you can now return. They will recover until tomorrow. It's time for me, maybe I'll catch up with you on the way.
Shikamaru did not wait for an answer, but just got close to Sakura and glanced at Tazuna with displeasure. He already shuddered and took a couple of steps back. Right now, this guy killed so many people without batting an eye, for an ordinary person unfamiliar with the shinobi world, it turned out to be shocking ...
Shikamaru didn't say anything, just lifted Sakura off the ground and turning to Kakashi said:
- I'll pick her up, we'll meet together tomorrow morning.
Kakashi nodded curtly, realizing that it wouldn't make matters worse. It is highly unlikely that Sakura will get hurt. Although, he still had a little doubt seeing such an updated Shikamaru. He seemed like a completely different person, not only outwardly, but also in his aura. By his very presence, he evoked a feeling of danger and some kind of invisible pressure. But, his actions clearly indicated that he was not going to harm someone. I would like - this fight would have ended in a completely different way. Even though he hasn't appeared in the village for so long, he is still a Liszt shinobi. Kakashi could only agree and return to his students.
Shikamaru took one last look at Naruto and Sasuke and then simply disappeared from the bridge.

Stopping near a small town, Shikamaru sat down next to a tree, laid Sakura's head on his lap and ruffled her hair with a carefree smile.
“It didn't go so badly ... Although, the sediment remained. Zabuza was not that terrible, rather the whole thing is in this strange world "- Shikamaru raised his head and peered into the snow-white clouds.
Although he got what he wanted, but here's the way ... The ideal situation simply did not exist. All that was left was to brainwash Haku and make him obedient. Of course, you can just clear Zabuza out of his mind and that's it. After all, if not for this swordsman, the boy would not have been in such danger. That's just, if not for Zabuza, he would not have survived at all. In an amicable way, clearing it from consciousness would be the most correct decision. Of course, only if you can't convince Haku. Then, everything can definitely be easier.
“Well, as it is, I will let the boy develop in peace. It can be useful to me, I am sure of it "
Still thinking, Shikamaru suddenly tilted his head and smiled. Sakura has finally started to wake up. The girl opened her eyes in bewilderment, yawned, and then jumped up and looked around:
- Shikamaru ?! - after a moment, the girl's gaze focused on the guy's smiling face:
- Um, and ... what's going on? - asked Sakura, calming down a little: - And where is everyone?
"Well," Shikamaru shrugged.
- They are probably already at Tazuna, licking their wounds. I admit, I like your cunning ... I could pretend to be weak and did not even suffer! I'm proud of you!
- Eh?
Shikamaru stretched out his hand with a chuckle, Sakura was immediately embarrassed, but still answered, holding out her thin palm in response.
Sitting her on his lap, the guy asked:
- So you still haven't taken the pills?
“N-no, I… I didn't have time,” the embarrassed girl replied. Sitting so close, clinging to him, was still not easy for her.
Shikamaru grinned and immediately said:
- We have plenty of time ... I think Kakashi will not look for us, tonight you are only mine ...
- A-ah ?! - Sakura blushed like a tomato and jumped away from Shikamaru in panic: - W-what ... What are you talking about ?!
- Just kidding, - the guy grunted: - I could not resist ...
Standing up, Shikamaru walked over to the still panicking Sakura.
- Get your pills, this night will be hot!
“Y-you… This is not funny!
After briefly teasing the girl, the guy became serious again. Sakura also calmed down and took the first pill. Shikamaru, in turn, began to follow the process. Once the chance came, he wanted to see how much Sakura could change after all this.
The pedigree pill should strengthen it, but I wonder how it will be? What is the main advantage of the Haruno bloodline? Questions ... The answers are right here.
With a pensive look, Shikamaru just waited. He was absolutely sure the pills would not harm Sakura. After all, it would be too absurd, because they did not harm him or Chоji, although they were all in almost the same circumstances. Moreover, Chоji and Shikamaru were even weaker than the current Sakura. She will definitely cope, he believed in her.

Time passed, as always, in its merciless, unchanging pace. For someone too slow and tedious ...
“Oooh ...” Suddenly waking up from a slight slumber, Shikamaru narrowed his eyes and yawned.
- Mm?
Sakura was drenched in sweat and was still taking the second pill effect. Not bad, of course, but her speed was still not very impressive. Realizing that this was for a long time, Shikamaru decided to spread out the scrolls and understand in more detail the technique of resurrection, which he had been preparing for several months.
She did not yet have an exact name, but Shikamaru believed that the technique would become truly wonderful, if that could be called resurrection techniques at all.
First of all, of course, he studied Tensei's Chiyo technique, and then he began to work on Orochimaru's Jutsu. Although they were obi, they were the jutsu of resurrection, but naturally they were different. Shikamaru had long ago decided that there should be no problems with the corpse's body and its condition, especially due to its special eye abilities. The question was in the main technique of invoking the soul. Here, too, there were some differences in these two Jutsu. In fact, the Chiyo technique can really be called the ability to resurrect, but Orochimaru's jutsu is more likely to call a soul for a while. It was even somewhat similar to the forbidden Jutsu - Bloody Soul Call. In both cases, it was possible to set limits on the body and soul and control the call, manipulate it and nourish it. Both need sacrifices, but they are different too. The body, fed with the help of vital energy, will be alive thanks to the Bloody Call, and the soul will, in fact, be in a living body. This is both a weakness and an advantage for the temporarily resurrected one.
