Chapter 113: The First Collection of Rewards

Reaching out his hand, Shikamaru lifted the parchment and, walking over it with a serious look, finally smiled.

- Hmm, murder of civilians. Acid-scorched flesh ... So we have a serial killer here, and even with addictions ... Let's see. Too little information, I'm even surprised that he decided to send me to something like that right away ... - With a grin, Shikamaru nodded: - Surely he will send someone after.

Lost in thought, Shikamaru remembered something and shook his head.

"Although what am I coming up with ... Remembering that very first Naruto mission, I am sometimes amazed at how our intelligence works. Although Kakashi himself led them to such a thing, it was strange for a shinobi of his rank. Well, okay, now I'm more interested in this killer ... "

Having completely emptied the bottle of sake, the guy stretched out and yawned, and then stood up.

"Okay, it's time to finally finish with the leveling, and then on the mission ... The third person remembered about the traditions and decided to transfer the mission to me himself, the last time it was not he who gave the clone, I was waiting for this day ..." - with a grin, Shikamaru folded the seal and leaving behind a blurred silhouette disappeared without a trace.

Once in a deep forest on the outskirts of the village, Shikamaru breathed in fresh air.

- A good place ... - after walking just a couple of meters, the guy stopped at a cliff, from the opposite side of which a long waterfall fell, and at the very bottom a winding river flowed. It was here that Shisui Uchiha once committed suicide by bestowing his Sharingan on Itachi. Much changed that day ...

Shikamaru had been here a couple of times, but naturally he couldn't find anything. The place was very handy for a quick pumping, but for a start it was worth getting rid of the problems. Without even turning his head, Shikamaru knew about the surveillance. Probably, the follower guessed about his knowledge, but now it doesn't matter ... With a grin, Shikamaru took out a piece of paper, poured chakra into it and threw it on the ground, after which he shouted: - Explosion!

At the same moment, the seal flashed, and then an incredibly burning glow spread in all directions. Hiding in one of the trees, a slender masked figure closed his eyes and closed his eyes.

"What is he doing again?" - flashed through the head of the dark-haired swordsman.

At the same time, Shikamaru folded his hand seals, summoned a shadow clone, and then, using a simple technique, disappeared from view, rushing off the cliff towards the waterfall. At its foot, he folded the seal and shouted:

- Open up! - at the same moment, right behind the waterfall, two fuin seals lit up, after which the stone trembled and went inside a meter, opening a small passage into a makeshift cave. Shikamaru instantly slipped inside, folded the seal and blocked the entrance.

At the same time, the explosive light seal ceased to function, revealing a view of a completely empty space. Shinobi Anbu was immediately startled, she was already expecting something like this. As she was about to rush to find Shikamaru, she suddenly stopped and narrowed her eyes.

On the opposite side of the narrow canyon stood a grinning guy, he waved to the girl, then sat down in the lotus position and closed his eyes.

The girl snorted in annoyance and returned to the shadows. For her, what happened was not particularly surprising. This isn't the first time Shikamaru has thrown something like this, but the explosive seal of light is something new. Even as an experienced shinobi, she had never encountered such a weapon.

At the same time, Shikamaru was finally able to breathe out in relief. His clone took over the surveillance, and he himself could calmly engage in pumping. The clone could probably fizzle out in the process, even if it was the only one created today. Chakra can get messy after new bloodlines, so cute Yugao will have to search around.

"Well, her chances of finding my refuge are not very great ... The old man will definitely find it, but I found out almost everything about each of the Anbu in the village, she is not very strong in her search. If that guy named Kage was here, he would have had a chance. His clan specializes in stalking. In any case, I have time and now I will be more circumspect in pumping. Last time was too painful, and pain suppression pills are expensive. Let's start..."

With a serious look, Shikamaru calmly said:

- First, let's take a look at the completed tasks.

After reviewing each of the awards, Shikamaru whistled contentedly. Say what you don't say, but although the system significantly cut the rewards, they still turned out to be huge, and other tasks after completing these gave hope for the future. Of course, those assignments are terribly difficult. The likelihood of their completion in the coming year is too small, except, of course, the task for the power of Jonin. In his execution, Shikamaru was very close, he only lacked speed, which did not grow. Over the past two months, physical indicators have grown only by a miserable one or two points, besides, these two were only in speed, how to raise the other four Shikamaru could not yet decide for sure. Yet he had the hope of being amplified by bloodlines. He has already made a choice for the future in the past, but with so many points, it is possible to revise some plans, quite a bit.

Concentrating, Shikamaru began counting the points of destiny.

- So ... thirty thousand and thirteen eight hundred, in the end forty-three eight hundred, and with my past ... Fifty-nine thousand one hundred points! Whistling in amazement, Shikamaru shook his head with a sneer.``This is already some kind of overkill ...

Focusing on all the pills and techniques, Shikamaru nodded in satisfaction.

- Not bad, too, I have not waited in vain for several years. Elixirs of water and lightning, it may seem that they are useless, but in fact they will help me overcome the threshold of entry to the five elements. Unfortunately, there is no assignment for this, but mastering a new element is not so easy. After crossing the threshold, everything will be easier. With the wind, I did. Next ... Pills to cleanse and expand storage. Not bad either, but the pedigree enhancement pill comes in handy, especially now. In terms of techniques, everything turned out bearable, I don't understand what they mean, but Acrobat reminds me of something. In any case, it doesn't matter ... Now it's worth seeing what I have in stock and thinking a little.

With this thought, Shikamaru began to collect all the awards quickly. When he finished with them, he rubbed his black ring and smiled.

- Still, I was lucky with Uzumaki. Thanks to Mito, I was able to create a great ring. Even if it cannot be compared to the original, it doesn't matter. Carrying a huge scroll with my pills and things would be problematic, but here is just a ring, now I only have a couple of seals in my bags and I wear kunai, it made life much easier. True, chakra metal turned out to be not easy to process, but this is a minor problem, I think if I can get to Kiri, then it will be easier to find an improved metal. They say they have a special steel ...
