Chapter 918
Tsunade glanced at Shikamaru and found that he was serious and not joking.
“This ability test is in charge of Xiao Ning. If he doesn’t object, I don’t have any comments.”
Tsunade gave Zhou Xiaoning the right to choose. Anyway, her purpose was to understand Naruto’s current level of strength. As for how many people participated, she really didn’t care.
Zhou Xiaoning did not give an answer immediately, but looked at Shikamaru with scrutiny eyes. You know, Shikamaru is notorious for being afraid of trouble. With his character, it is absolutely impossible to take part in the ability test for no reason, so he must have some plan.
Since Shikamaru dared to put it forward blatantly, he was naturally not afraid of Zhou Xiaoning’s guess. So when he looked back at Zhou Xiaoning, his eyes were quite calm, as if he was saying: “I just have no purpose, you come and bite me!”
Zhou Xiaoning raised his brows. He naturally saw Shikamaru’s provocation. He wanted to see what Shikamaru was making.
“I don’t care, just look at Shikamaru to what extent you have developed your fruit ability now.”
Zhou Xiaoning spread his hands and said nonchalantly.
“Well, Shikamaru can also participate in the strength test. As for the specific time and test method, it is up to you to decide on Xiaoning.”
Tsunade knew Devil Fruit. After all, she taught Haruno Sakura’s medical skills, and she knew exactly what level Haruno Sakura was. Moreover, Zhou Xiaoning did not ask the Xiaoqiang to help him keep the secret, so Tsunade just asked a little bit, and Haruno Sakura honestly explained it all. Of course, this does not include the Curse Mark: Caged Bird.
The magical power of Devil Fruit attracted great attention from Tsunade. She wanted to talk to Zhou Xiaoning several times, but Zhou Xiaoning seemed to be able to pinch and count. Every time Tsunade sent Anbu to summon, he would go out very “coincidentally”. . Even if she came to the door in person, she would only see Bai, but she couldn’t even see Zhou Xiaoning’s shadow. Because of this incident, Tsunade was sulking for several days.
If it weren’t for later, in the name of the China Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Xiaoning had sold hundreds of bottles of physique enhancement potions to Tsunade at the lowest price (basically it was a gift), and if she calmed her anger a little, I’m afraid that Tsunade would be early. A strange force fist greeted me.
“Fruit ability? What is that?”
Jiraiya’s face was dumbfounded. He just came back from the outside without knowing it. This is normal.
“When the aptitude test begins, you will naturally know. Trust me, you will be surprised.”
Tsunade sold a close, and Haruno Sakura’s ability to restore fruit alone made her amazed. And as far as she knows, many of Shikamaru and their group of friends have also got Devil Fruit. I really don’t know what their fruit abilities are, which really makes her curious.
“Since you even said that to Tsunade, then I really want to go and see it then.”
Jiraiya’s appetite was whipped up by Tsunade. Things that interest Tsunade are certainly not easy, and he can’t miss it.
“Okay, let’s do that first. The time for the test is set at eight o’clock tomorrow morning, and the place will be in the Death Forest.”
Everyone had no objection to Zhou Xiaoning’s arrangement, and Tsunade directly ordered Anbu to completely seal off the death forest from 7 o’clock tomorrow morning, and no one was allowed to enter or leave until the end of the strength test.
After coming out of Hokage’s office, Zhou Xiaoning teleported home directly and enjoyed lunch with Bai, without the tension before the war.
On the other side, Shikamaru took Naruto and Haruno Sakura to visit Ino and others. In order to adapt and develop the “gift” from Zhou Xiaoning, the small powerhouses have been out of tasks for almost a month, but the results are quite remarkable, and basically everyone has made great progress.
That night, all the Xiaoqiang gathered at Shikamaru’s house and stayed until late at night before leaving. During the period they talked and did, even Shikamaru’s parents didn’t know.
At 8 o’clock the next day, Zhou Xiaoning appeared at the entrance of the Death Forest on time.
“I remember that there are only Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru who want to participate in the ability test, but why are there so many more people?”
Zhou Xiaoning’s gaze swept across Xiaoqiang, and finally fell on Shikamaru. He dared to bet his morals, it must be Shikamaru.
“Hahaha, how can such an interesting thing of the ability test be missing from my uncle, right?”
“Wow, Wang!”
“Although it is a pity that I can’t compete with you alone, but through this test, I should be able to see the gap between me and you.”
“Brother Zhou, let us have a youth contest!”
Although only Inuzukaga, Neji, and Xiao Li spoke, judging from the performance of the crowd, they are basically the same attitude. Even Hinata was the same. Although he shyly hid behind Ino when he met Zhou Xiaoning’s eyes, he didn’t show any intention to quit.
“Okay, okay, I promise you all.”
Zhou Xiaoning sighed and compromised. Anyway, for him, a sheep is to drive, a flock of sheep is to be released, and it is not bad to have more people and fewer people.
“Next, I will announce the content of this proficiency test. Have you seen this scroll in my hand?”
Zhou Xiaoning palmed his hand, and there was an extra scroll in his hand, with a “secret” printed on it, and a seal technique was added. Obviously this was a secret letter.
“Your task is to find a way to grab this scroll from me, unlock the seal and read the content inside. As long as you can do it, you will pass the test.”
“In addition, you can enter the Death Forest now, and I will enter again in an hour. Within this hour, you can either ambush or set traps. In short, treat me as an enemy agent. By the way, to remind you, if you don’t have the mentality to kill me, you won’t be able to pass the test.”
“Is it an hour in advance? Really confident.”
Shikamaru smiled bitterly, and he even began to wonder if his plan was impulsive. But things have progressed to the present, and he can’t help turning his head back, so no matter how uncertain he is, he can only bite the bullet and walk on.
Thinking of this, Shikamaru immediately gave Inuzukaga a look.
Inuzukaga understood, and immediately followed the discussion before, and said: “The test is so boring, why don’t we make a bet.”
“bet?”
Zhou Xiaoning raised his brows, and it was finally time to see Tuqongdi. He wanted to see what Shikamaru wanted to do!
