Chapter 82: Chapter 82
Shikamaru still remembered the day Ino had swallowed the bloodline stabilization pill, he could probably never forget it. In the past, he often ignored the girl because he just didn't know what to do with her. It was unusual for him to have friends, in childhood he did not think about this, but when he was already grown up, it was also not up to this, in this life he was accustomed to everything anew. It was very difficult to look at the painful and pale face of the girl when she was experiencing that pain, it turned out to be much more difficult than he initially thought. Shikamaru believed that it would not hurt him in any way, as was the case with Chоji, he would just wait and that's it, but Ino was too sweet and kind girl. That picture is downright ingrained in his memory. But, he naturally understood that this was just an important necessity. Based on the observations of Chоji, Shikamaru knew that the pill could help a lot, and if you dilute all this with training, then it is quite possible to even become a Genin, maybe not at six years old, but at eight for sure, and this is a pretty good indicator. In the past, Shikamaru had thirty percent of the bloodline's strength, and the pill raised it to fifty, which gave quite good gains. And the main benefit was in the clan abilities. Techniques are certainly better controlled by amplification. Although he had nothing to compare with, he raised the pedigree almost immediately to four hundred percent. But, Shikamaru still believed that there would be benefits, even from fifty percent, it is still better than thirty. His fifty-strong Inuzuka bloodline allowed him to have an even better nose than Kiba's, that says a lot too.
So Ino's case was a must, even if Shikamaru wasn't counting on Ino-Shika-Cho. They were now his close friends, future heads of clans, why not help them? He still didn't lose anything. Even so, he didn't want to hurt her at all. But, as it turned out, Ino was still not angry, but rather was only glad. Since then, the trinity, even if they have not yet got into the same team, have become a team.
True, the development of these two did not surprise Shikamaru, even if a little pleased. Yet he taught them a lot, he even sometimes felt pride in their successes.
What surprised Shikamaru was the development of someone else. Naruto Uzumaki, the guy really turned out to be a talent, who would naturally doubt ... Chоji and Ino mastered the practice of walking in trees and water, albeit for a rather long time. Akimichi learned earlier, but he had a noticeable head start, the same Ino took almost two months to master, and the fat man a little more. As for Naruto, the famous "loser", he learned it, maybe slowly, but he learned it nonetheless. The bottom line is that control in children clearly should be worse than in adults - this is an accepted fact. There were, of course, exceptions, but very rare, and Naruto is probably one of them. What is it, his father created the Rasengan, a technique that requires incredible control to shape. So, the fact that he learned to walk on water is not just a coincidence or luck, but only tenacity and genetics. Chоji even had a pill that strengthened his bloodline, control probably also increased thanks to her, but he studied this simple genin practice for much longer. Of course, at his age it is quite normal, for him even his father took up the clan Jutsu. But, in control, he was an obvious layman, and a complete one, and this despite the fact that control was also important for his clan Jutsu, oddly enough. The ability to use the Chakra correctly to burn fat and convert it into physical energy, and then knead it into the Yang Chakra, for this control is necessary and he was not in last place. The guy studied and it made me happy, every day he showed better results.

The ability to use the Chakra correctly to burn fat and convert it into physical energy, and then knead it into the Yang Chakra, for this control is necessary and he was not in last place. The guy studied and it made me happy, every day he showed better results. Naruto, on the other hand, has mastered the practice of walking on water even faster than Ino. Not that this is an indicator of great talent, Genin can still master the technique in a few days, and this is clearly much faster. But, for a child, he is quite good. Having mastered these practices, he will open himself a completely worthy path to Ninjutsu, and with his huge chakra, it will be an excellent road. Although, Shikamaru suspected that if the guy's five-element seal was broken, things could be much worse. It's good that he still hasn't met Orochimaru. Shikamaru hoped that by then Naruto would be able to develop with dignity. Although Sasuke worried him a little, the obvious differences in the abilities of these two reincarnations could result in something bad.
Naruto is progressing and now may well be equal to Sasuke, who probably trained in the clan. Shikamaru remembered that he had studied Fireball at some point, which was a pretty good technique. Although, as an example, the guy took a long time even with the Uchiha genes. This just suggests that some children may have problems at the beginning of the journey with transformation and control.
Chоji and Naruto did a good job in taijutsu, the guy is now definitely not the weakling he was recently. If everything goes like this, then it may well be that by the age of twelve, Naruto will be as strong as Gaara, for example, even without the power of a biju, for example, and maybe even more. If this happens, then that very rivalry may not exist, or maybe vice versa, everything will result in a stronger confrontation. Shikamaru thought about influencing Sasuke a little in the future, maybe even giving him a couple of "lessons." Thus, it will be possible to strike a balance between the two and control the situation to your advantage. It's a little cynical, but there is no other way, these two important creatures in this world, and since Shikamaru has already intervened, then it is worth keeping an eye on them until a certain moment. If you manage to align the story to your advantage, then there will only be benefits from this, although, probably, you cannot do without unexpected surprises either.
Naruto is still the same, he clearly wants recognition and is trying to get it. True, he seems to be a little more serious than he was in the original story ... Although, it could also be a matter of age. In any case, his positive traits remained, the guy is still purposeful. Well, and of course he wants to become Hokage, where without this ... A slightly changed character can also result in something completely unfavorable for Shikamaru. But, here it is hardly possible to do something. If so, then it may well be that the guy should find out some things hidden from everyone.
When Naruto mastered the ability to walk on water, it was time for the truth promised to Shikamaru ... True, Shikamaru decided to give him another task, which just took two months. He finished it just a week ago. Shikamaru was able to delay a little time, but tomorrow he will have to decide everything with this zealous jinchūriki. On this score, he already had a couple of thoughts.
Glancing towards Naruto, who was still puzzling over the dough, Shikamaru chuckled a little. The test was clearly overestimated, for the most real cramps, a bunch of theories and mathematics with geometry. Naturally, with tricky questions, like strange colors of animals in an environment that is not inherent to them and sounds unusual for them. A classic question for shinobi.
Although Naruto was good in practice, here he clearly slowed down. The boy always stubbornly walked towards the goal, to achieve it he was ready to go through the seas and mountains and naturally neglect other things - the theory is one of those. In vain Iruka wasted tens of hours on boring lectures ... Although, knowledge could be replenished in the library, there is a lot of this stuff. Starting from a bunch of different types of fauna and their behavior in the Land of Fire, ending with the traditions of different villages and clans. True, Naruto is unlikely to be interested in this until he really understands that in order to become Hokage, you need to know such, no matter how strange this knowledge is.
