When Nara Shikaku said this, he thought of the once famous and powerful people.

The Sannin Orochimaru, Golden Flash, Konoha White Fang, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi...

These are all geniuses who are famous for a while, and their extraordinary talents have been shown since childhood.

but……

"Isn't my son also a genius?"

Maybe Shikamaru doesn't have the talent to use Go Fireball just by looking at it, like the rumored Uchiha genius Itachi, but isn't it Shikamaru's innate talent with an IQ of 200?

Nara Shikaku can say with certainty that most ninjas can barely learn the fireball with a little effort, but can those ninjas make their IQs reach 200 no matter how hard they work?

In comparison, he privately believed that his son's talent was more terrifying.

Well, this is a preferred idea.

Uchiha Itachi's ninja ability is recognized as superb, but that doesn't mean Shikamaru is inferior!

Lu Jiu thought so selfishly.

Even among the Nara family, who are recognized for their high IQ, it is rare to see someone as smart as his son.

Of course, even though I think so in my heart, I still have to suppress my son's arrogance when it's time to suppress it, so as not to prevent Teacher Shikamaru from being clever and lazy and not training properly - in the final analysis, ninjas still have to rely on their strength to speak for themselves.

"I know how proud you are in your heart, but Shikamaru, it is precisely because there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, so if you rely on your talent and don't work hard, sooner or later you will be surpassed by other geniuses who work harder."

"……I see."

Shikamaru nodded.

After being enlightened by his father, he also reacted.

Yes, Hua Jianming's talent for ninja tools is quite terrifying, and he can't even believe it. However, if he thinks about it, among a group of carrot-headed friends, isn't his IQ so terrifying that people can't believe it?

Using this analogy, it is actually quite normal for Hanami Akira to have some talent for ninja tools.

Well, it's just that his talent for ninja tools is a bit more outstanding.

If he works hard, he can hit ten out of ten shots, it just takes a little more time, but he has never made a serious effort.

"Maybe... it's time to be a little more serious?"

Shikamaru tilted his head and muttered to himself.

Lu Jiu, who had both ears and eyesight, nodded happily, thinking that his efforts were not in vain, but he heard the second half of his son's words.

"Forget it, it's so troublesome."

"..."

Okay, just get used to it.

What else can I do with the son I gave birth to?

It's not like we can only continue to pull him up.

Nara Shikaku saw that his son had finally mustered up a little bit of competitive thoughts and then extinguished them, and he couldn't help but begin to doubt what he had just said.

Was it that he shouldn't have praised Shikamaru just now, but followed Shikamaru's words and belittled him, so that it would be effective?

No, maybe if he does that, he will meet a salty son who says "I don't have much talent anyway, so I don't want to work hard anymore."

Alas, it’s so hard to be a dad.

Nara Shikaku can talk to the daimyo and the Hokage and use all kinds of tricks, but there is nothing he can do against his only precious son.

My son is so smart, being a parent is very stressful.

Maybe, only the wife's kind of violent suppression is effective.

He sighed, and after thinking for a moment, he gave up on exploring a solution to his son's lazy cancer, and chose to continue freeing up.

"Shikamaru, you can make friends with that classmate of yours."

"Oh, we are already friends."

"That's good, you can get closer and closer."

Maybe, this can arouse Shikamaru's fighting spirit?

With such expectations, a certain father said words that had a sense of déjà vu.

This sounds a bit familiar.

Shikamaru looked at his father with dead eyes. Isn't this the same as Choji's father?

I want to know what the other person is thinking.

But...it is impossible to work hard, and you can only live by relying on your smart brain.

…

On the other side, Hanami Akira in his secret base was unaware of Shikamaru's rising and falling competitive spirit. At this time, he was experimenting with his newly acquired abilities.

Of course, this secret base was his own, it was just a relatively empty place behind the orphanage.

Usually no one else comes here. After all, not all orphans are lucky enough to be able to buy discounted ninja tools at low prices like Akira Hanami.

At this time, the thousand books in Hua Jianming's hand turned out of flowers, and they slipped away much more than when he was playing with the pens in his previous life.

Whether it's kunai, shuriken, steel wire, etc., he can use it with ease, including when to use smoke bombs, when to use detonating charms, etc., he can understand it by heart.

It's a pity that the duplicate ninja tool package distributed by the school does not include a ninja sword, otherwise Hanami Akira would like to try to see if there is a bug - since the "six path ninja tools" can be used, then use a small ninja sword

That shouldn't be a problem, right?

Even if his ninja sword skills are not up to the level of Konoha White Fang or Kakashi, he can at least have close-range skills, right?

Judging from the brackets at the end of the system, some abilities may have upgraded versions. He doesn't want to be a master of swordsmanship, he just needs to be able to deal with it.

Unfortunately, he was poor and could not afford to buy a knife, nor could he find anyone to lend it to, so this issue was put aside for the time being.

In order to prevent the problem of insufficient control, he used all the ninja tools, and then he was surprised to find that there were actually ninja tools such as scalpels inside.

I think Konoha schools should also teach basic medicine and other courses? It's just like elective or special classes?

Maybe, like the class of Xiaoqiang he entered, maybe it was specially trained to train combat-type ninjas who go out to do missions.

Thinking about it, this makes sense. Otherwise, if we look at the original novel, Ino and Hinata later had their own ninjutsu inherited from their families. Is it possible that Sakura became an orthodox medical ninja during Naruto's term?

If there were only one professional medical ninja in a year, Konoha Hospital would have closed down long ago.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are also ninjas such as the sealing class. Naruto will not be able to find them this time. If this is true every year, Konoha's barrier class may not be able to find it.

It has long been disbanded.

Hanami Akira is more inclined. In fact, in this group, there will be ninjas who have studied and graduated through other channels, and are specialized in supporting ninjas - not necessarily those in the sealing class and medical ninjas. They are all the root and ANBU who directly capture the orphans and brainwash them.

Cultivated, right?

In addition to Xiaoqiang whom he knew, there must be other classmates who have graduated, but they are not the protagonists and are not reflected in the story.

Then, it is normal for schools to add some anthropology and medical courses as screening.

Hanami Akira turned the scalpel and began to think.

What is the biggest cheat for a time traveler?

The system is indeed one, but a certain Chu once said that the plot is the biggest reliance.

Akira Hanami is not prepared to sacrifice his life for Konoha. He needs to let those weaklings take the lead, so the most important main plot is best not to change.

Especially for such big things as graduation grouping, he was not prepared to get involved, so he was not prepared to add himself to those teams.

In his eyes, ninja is just a profession.

Since he was looking for a job, he naturally wanted to find one that had more money and less work and was close to home. Of course, in the ninja world, he also had to add a high safety factor, so he set his sights on the two places of Konoha Hospital and Konoha School.

But in terms of freedom and status, medical ninjas are undoubtedly higher.

"Forget it, let's memorize some more medical knowledge books now! To be prepared... No, before that, Shikamaru is more important. By the way, we can't forget the daily task of brushing up on Sakura."

To become a medical ninja, you have to memorize a lot of boring content like the medical students in the previous life. Memory is very important.

Originally, Hanami Akira considered becoming a ninja school teacher mainly because he did not have the confidence to memorize so many professional tomes, but now...

He has the ability to process information at a high speed, and what he lacks is a photographic memory.

[Mission: Keep Shikamaru awake all day long.]

[Reward: Photographic memory]

It's not difficult to make Shikamaru sleep without feeling sleepy all day long. It's definitely possible as long as you work hard. However, the difficulty lies in how not to lower your favorability and prevent the other party from making mistakes.

It's definitely not appropriate to force yourself. It's best to let the other party be willing.

Speaking of willingness, Hanami Akira subconsciously thought of being willing to admit defeat. Shikamaru's character was still passable.

"Let's learn the rules of shogi first."

No matter how smart he is, Shikamaru is just a kid. If he works hard, maybe he can win?

Ahem, by the way, you have to make a Plan B and plan the action if you lose...
