Talent Entry Ninja of Konoha

These days, anyone can be called a genius.

A genius named Hyuga Neji came out of the branch house of the Hyuga family.

In the current sixth grade graduating class, there is another civilian genius named Kudo Shinichi.

In class A of the third grade, there is a female civilian genius named Narumi Jinguji.

But in Danzo's eyes, only those like Uchiha Itachi, or Hatake Kakashi are qualified to be called geniuses.

The above are, at best, quite talented.

But their upper limit is almost visible to the naked eye. Jōnin is basically the limit of these so-called civilian geniuses.

With luck, it is possible to reach the heights of Elite Jōnin.

But so what?

Does Danzo lack one or two Elite Jōnin men?

What he lacks is the kind of subordinate who can reach Kage-level strength.

But the real geniuses that have come out of the village over the years are just one Uchiha Itachi and one Uchiha Shisui and they all belong to the Uchiha clan.

Even the three Sannins have gone their own ways.

One of them has developed a fear of blood and can't continue to be a ninja.

One of them has become a rebel.

One of them is outside the village, performing a spy mission.

Neither one works for him. So, Danzo felt very sad.

However, when he thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be served by these real talents, he couldn't help feeling a little flattered in his heart.

Especially because he was responsible for all of this.

"Hmph! If I can't get it, Hiruzen, you can't get it either." Danzo thought with a sneer in his heart.

...

Ninja school, on the roof.

Ryosuke suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, is someone scolding me behind my back?" He rubbed his nose, thinking.

"Ryosuke, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Shikamaru next to him suddenly laid down and looked at the clouds in the sky, "For me, I just want to live an ordinary life. That kind of fighting and killing, busy life every day probably isn't suitable for me."

Hearing Shikamaru suddenly mention his future life, Ryosuke thought about it and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stay idle. I prefer that kind of colorful life. If every day is just the same, I would probably get bored quickly."

"And, since the day we become a ninja, our lives have actually not been in our control."

"Shikamaru, the kind of carefree and ordinary life you want to live, I'm afraid there is no way to achieve it, unless you have the ability to say no to anyone." Ryosuke suddenly laughed.

"But we're only ten years old now, so it's a bit too early to say, at least wait until we all graduate."

"Yeah, but there's still two years until graduation."

Shikamaru sighed suddenly, he was shocked by what Ryosuke said just now.

What he longed for was indeed that kind of ordinary life.

This is also the life he wanted from a young age.

Because he was born in the Nara clan, Shikamaru saw many adults in the family never return after performing certain dangerous missions when he was very young.

This made him instinctively reject that kind of life.

And as he grew older, with Shikamaru's smart brain, he is actually very clear that once he becomes a ninja, his future life is beyond his control.

And as the young master of the Nara clan, it is impossible for him to become an ordinary person.

His future seems to have been doomed from the moment he was born.

But this also made Shikamaru reject all this more and more.

Sometimes, he even thought about abandoning everything now and finding a place where no one was around to live.

But these are just some outrageous thoughts that pop up when he is occasionally upset. He does not really plan to do it.

"The ability to say no to anyone."

Shikamaru thought of what Ryosuke said just now, and suddenly had the urge to train hard.

But when he thought, he realized that even if he trained hard, his achievements would probably be similar to that of his father's.

Things that even his own father couldn't do, he didn't think that he could do them either.

Saying no to anyone may sound easy, but it's so, so hard to do.

Especially in such a world of ninjas.

Could it be that he could still disobey the Hokage's orders?

Even if he becomes the Hokage, doesn't he have to obey the order of the daimyo?

He can't dream of becoming the daimyo, can he?

It seems that if the thing was not there when he was born, then he will never have it in his life.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Shikamaru suddenly felt a little irritable.

So, he just didn't think about it.

In fact, as it is now, his life is already pretty good.

"However, Ryosuke...does he want to have that ability too?"

Shikamaru glanced sideways at Ryosuke, who was sitting next to him.

Suddenly, he felt that the goal of his little friend was quite lofty.

As far as...

There is a high probability that it will not be possible.

…

"Ryosuke, class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom."

Ino said from a distance, calling the name of Ryosuke.

"Let's go."

Shikamaru stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and walked slowly towards the stairs.

Ryosuke behind him, picked up a piece of Shikamaru's hair from the ground when he got up.

Then it was collected into the biological pheromone warehouse.

The first class in the afternoon is the theoretical knowledge class that Ryosuke dislikes the most. So, he deserted openly.

While practicing to knot seals with both hands under the table, he took out Shikamaru's hair and let the system convert it into a talent entry.

Ding!

"Transformation succeeded!"

"Congratulations to Host for getting the talent entry: [Scholar (Purple)]!"

Scholar?

Ryosuke glanced at Shikamaru.

Indeed, this guy Shikamaru is pretty smart!

A talent entry like Scholar can probably only be transformed from Shikamaru.

Regarding others, even Haruno Sakura, who has the highest theoretical score in the class, is unlikely to be able to convert a Scholar talent entry.

To be honest, in class A of their fourth grade, Shikamaru is probably the only real top student.

Other people are only a fake academic master.
