Shikamaru went to the training ground after sending Hatsuta away. Chakra could not be upgraded in a short period of time, and there was no way to increase his combat experience for the time being. Then, he would increase his defense!
Shikamaru was in desperate need of a defensive method that could defend against large-scale attacks. The battle with Orochimaru earlier had been too embarrassing.
"It's best to be like the Hyuga family's Kaiten, with absolute defense, 360 degrees without any blind spots.”Shikamaru thought to himself.
However, he didn't know how to erupt chakras all over his body. Even the Hinata family could do it with the help of the white eyes. "Then, can we use shadows?”Shikamaru couldn't help but think.
One had to know that his most proficient ninjutsu was the secret art of shadow. He did not know anything else. If he could use his shadow to defend, that would be the best.
"However, the shadow is an incorporeal body. Although it has transformed into a corporeal body through the transformation of the Yin attribute, its defense is still very strong.
It wasn't enough either. It could defend against some ordinary ninjutsu, but it couldn't defend against stronger ninjutsu.”
Shikamaru fell into deep thought.
"There are only a few ways to strengthen the defense of the shadow. Increasing hardness, thickness, toughness, or using force unloading techniques.”
"And my shadow is like the sand of I Love Luo. I can control it at will, which is very advantageous.”
"Can I turn the shadow into a shield? By condensing and compressing it, I can increase the hardness, thickness, and toughness of the shield. Then, I can control the shadow to use some force-diverting techniques!”
Shikamaru's clever brain quickly came up with a reasonable solution!
With a thought, the shadow under Shikamaru's feet rose into the air. He controlled the shadow to continuously condense and gradually form the shape of a shield. Then, it continued to compress and compress! Shikamaru only stopped when he knew that he could no longer compress it. Because the shadow was originally an incorporeal body, and Shikamaru's chakra had just materialized, it was surprisingly obedient. After being compressed many times, the shadow shield was still very stable.
"The hardness and thickness have greatly increased, so what about the toughness?”Shikamaru had a headache.
" Sigh, I can't think of anything…" Although he was very smart, Shikamaru had to admit that this was a difficult problem.
"Let's not think about it today. Go back and wash up and sleep.”Shikamaru was in a very good mood as he took a step forward with Hinata. He wasn't depressed at all that he hadn't finished developing his ninjutsu. Normally, Shikamaru would have continued.
He went back and had a good sleep. The next day, Shikamaru came to the herb forest behind the encampment. It was still the same place where he rolled on the grass with Hatsunada yesterday. Shikamaru lay down comfortably and looked at the clouds as he basked in the sun.
However, he was thinking about how to improve his defensive ninjutsu.
"Toughness…What kind of things are tough?”
"Steel wire is better, eh? Oh right!" Shikamaru's eyes lit up. Why didn't he compress the chakra into a shadow and then interweave the shadow into a shield?
This was a good idea!
After thinking about it carefully, Shikamaru felt that this method was feasible! Firstly, it was easier to condense and compress, and secondly, its toughness could also be increased.
"Then give it a try!" Shikamaru began to experiment while controlling the shadow. First, he controlled the shadows to form shadow lines. Then, he compressed the chakras to make the shadow lines more solid. Then, the processed shadow lines interweaved to form a shield!
" F * ck, by the time my shield is ready, I'll probably have died 10,000 times already…" Shikamaru sighed.
The entire process took about thirty seconds…
During a battle, if you condensed a shield every minute, you would definitely feel great.
"Then what should we do? Although it's my first time using it and I'm not used to it, does it take so long?”
Unwilling to give up, Shikamaru tried again. This time, he spent about ten seconds.
" It still won't work. It will take a long time to condense the compressed shadow first…" Shikamaru was a little troubled.
Our Shikamaru-kun lost so many brain cells throughout the day, but in the end, he only managed to reduce the shield formation time to five seconds…
For the next few days, Shikamaru focused on the Shadow Shield.
On the tenth day, the time taken to condense the shadow shield had stabilized at about two seconds. It was short and long.
For some slower attacks, it was enough, but for some super fast attacks, two seconds was simply too late to block.
Shikamaru was really depressed when he used Shadow Rage crazily in the training ground. What should he do?
Shikamaru suddenly had a flash of inspiration as he watched the shadow mincing the tree."Am I only able to form shadow lines when I form a shield? Why couldn't he have condensed and compressed the shadow lines in the previous battle? When needed, he could have just interweaved the shadow lines into a shield!”
Shikamaru suddenly felt like crying at his own stupidity when this thought appeared in his mind…
By compressing and condensing the shadow lines in advance, not only could it increase the power of the shadow line attack, but it could also greatly reduce the time needed to form a shield. It was the best of both worlds!
After testing it out, he realized that he didn't even need a second to form a shield after compressing the shadow lines in advance!
Looking at the Shadowmeld in front of him, Shikamaru couldn't hide the joy in his heart. With it, he wouldn't have to be afraid of many attacks!
