One of the smartest members of Naruto's ninja class was definitely Shikamaru, the shadow manipulating tactical genius who was able to ascend the ranks of "ninja-dom" faster than any of his classmates, and now the Naruto franchise is giving him his own spin-off story in a novel Naruto: Shikamarus Story "Shikamaru's Story". Following the adult Shikamaru from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations as he attempts to bring peace to the world while being a family man after starting a family with his one Naruto: Shikamarus Story rival in the sand ninja of Temari, baring a son named Shikadai! This is the most recent novel in the "Shikamaru's Story" novel line, focusing on the tactical ninja as he ages in the world of Konoha of the Hidden Leaf Village. While the series began during Shikamaru's time during the sequel series of Naruto: Shippuden"Mourning in the Clouds" revisits the character as an adult as he attempts to balance his duties to the Hidden Leaf with his role as a father. While Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has focused far more on the new Naruto: Shikamarus Story of ninja that are the sons and Naruto: Shikamarus Story of the original ninja clan, it's always good to see a story that swing back to the characters that got us to learn about Konoha and the ninja world created by Kishimoto. Viz Media shared the announcement that the upcoming spin-off story would be arriving to North American shores next year, giving us a brand new look at the shadow manipulating ninja who has become a fan favorite, with the novel hoping to show us new sides to the character:.

Naruto: Shikamaru's Story by Takashi Yano, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® The joke has always been that his natural genius is at odds with his desire to live a relaxed, carefree life. However, as one of Konoha's foremost thinkers, and the first of the Hidden Leaf Naruto: Shikamarus Story to become a chunin, he's fully aware that his talent is too useful to go untapped. Throughout the parent series, Shikamaru has functioned as a fairly important secondary player, serving as the de facto leader of Team Asuma after Sarutobi Asuma's death and acting as the voice of reason when gung-ho characters like Uzumaki Naruto and Rock Lee want to charge in without a plan of action. All things considered, he isn't a bad choice for the starring role in a novel, and Naruto: Shikamaru's Story presents a surprisingly accurate portrayal of both Shikamaru and Masashi Kishimoto 's expansive ninja world. After the disappointment that was Naruto: Kakashi's StoryI didn't have high hopes for the latest Naruto-inspired literary outing. However, the change in author now Takashi Yano appears to have made all the difference, as even the translator Jocelyne Allen remains the same, yet Shikamaru's Story springs to life more vividly and tells a much more compelling story than its predecessor. At the start of the novel, Shikamaru is overwhelmed by his duties and longs for a break but convinces himself that he can't possibly take one. He's made promises to his deceased father and teacher, the men he most admired, and he has a plan for the greater good: Naruto: Shikamarus Story the peace between the Allied Force, prepare Naruto to become the Seventh Hokage, and act as the spirited ninja's advisor. When a team of Anbu, led by the pallid and formerly emotionless Sai, doesn't return from its latest mission, Hokage Hatake Kakashi summons Shikamaru to discuss a letter he received from Sai. The team's mission had been to investigate the disappearance of thousands of shinobi during the Fourth Great Ninja War in the Land of Silence, an often-ignored outlying country. Sounding a lot like a newly-converted cult member, Sai claims that he's staying in the Land of Silence because he's met a man, Gengo, who has shown him the true way to peace and prosperity. Kakashi and Shikamaru both realize that a man capable of swaying the perpetually stoic Sai is dangerous. To make matters worse, countless shinobi who never returned home from the war—and whose bodies were never found—may also have fallen under Gengo's spell. They agree Gengo needs to be assassinated as quickly as possible, and Shikamaru, the person in Naruto: Shikamarus Story of assigning missions, trusts no one but himself to get the job done. Although he considers bringing Ino and Choji along, he ultimately decides not to taint them, either. He even refuses to bring this mission to the attention of the Allied Shinobi Forces. When Shikamaru requests specialized Anbu assistance, Kakashi introduces him to bubbly teenager Soku and old-fashioned middle-aged Ro. Soku and Ro are the book's weakest aspects, but their time in the limelight is mercifully brief. Created for this story, their presence seems almost pointless, other than for the fact that Shikamaru wants his friends to be kept away from this mission and he knew he'd need shinobi who were able to cloak chakra Ro and send a projectile chakra-based kill-shot across a long distance Soku. When she's brainwashed, she loses her affectation and doesn't care about the name, but those two defining characteristics are Naruto: Shikamarus Story to get through as a reader nonetheless. At first, the assassination seems easy, as Gengo frequently gives speeches. This prompts Shikamaru to move forward with his plan on the group's second night in the enemy village—a decision he later regrets when Gengo immediately discovers the would-be assassins in the crowd despite Ro's chakra manipulation. Adding insult to injury, Shikamaru's shadow-based attacks have no effect on his target. Imprisoned for over a week while Soku and Ro endure torture, Shikamaru tries to figure out where he went Naruto: Shikamarus Story. Most importantly, he wants to know why Gengo frequently comes to speak with him about inane topics like the weather. Luckily for Naruto: Shikamarus Story, his friends noticed something was off about him prior to his departure—especially Temari of Sunagakure, who serves alongside Shikamaru on the Allied Forces council. The parent series is sprinkled with hints that these two share a mutual attraction, but Naruto: Shikamarus Story various reasons, their budding romance never quite took off on screen However, the manga's epilogue revealed they eventually marry and have a son. Shikamaru's Story features just the right amount of romantic tension between Shikamaru and Temari, going so far as to reveal the origins of their first date. The book even sheds a bit of light on how Ino and Sai, one of the most surprising couplings found in the manga's epilogue, might have wound up falling in love. The author's ability to seamlessly weave these secondary plotlines into the overall story and tie them into the overarching theme is commendable. When Gengo starts proselytizing to Shikamaru about why ninja are better suited to ruling the world than the daimyo and Naruto: Shikamarus Story citizenry, Shikamaru concedes that this charismatic figure makes some solid points. From a ninja's perspective, Gengo makes a lot of sense. Why shouldn't the most powerful run the show? Does the current system serve to keep the shinobi villages' power in check, or do the daimyo simply view the ninja as weapons? A small part of Shikamaru realizes something is off, but since he didn't lock eyes with Gengo during the Naruto: Shikamarus Story assassination attempt, he knows he isn't under a genjutsu. Naruto: Shikamarus Story Temari shows up with Gaara and other Sunagakure ninja in tow, she uses her wind technique to bring Shikamaru to his senses. It turns out Gengo has an auditory genjutsu. Like Killgrave of Jessica Jones fame, he can talk people into doing and believing whatever he wants. The battle that unfolds is well-written, and despite being very descriptive, is Naruto: Shikamarus Story confusing. As Temari faces off against the brainwashed Sai, Shikamaru takes on Gengo. Attacks are described visually without being weighed down by overly-complicated explanations of each technique. The dialogue between blows and playful character banter serve to nicely break up the action. When Ino, Choji, Sakura, and eventually Naruto show up to lend a hand, Ino's Mind Transfer jutsu—and Naruto's very presence—wind up being the key to breaking Naruto: Shikamarus Story hold over his slaves.

  • Death of a Hero Minato Namikaze Threw a Kunai at the Teleporting
    Prologue: Death of a Hero Minato Namikaze threw a kunai at the teleporting bastard. The space time jutsu the man was using pissed him off. The fact that the man had released the Kyuubi no Kitsune upon his village and used the mangekyo sharingan to make it attack pissed him off more. That in order to release the Kyuubi, the man had killed his pregnant wife, Kushina Uzumaki, made him see red. His only consolation was that he had driven the man away while the medics did everything in their power to save his newborn son, Naruto. He gathered a swirling ball of chakra into his hand and disappeared in a yellow flash of light that disoriented his opponent for a moment as he instantly traversed the distance between them and shoved the rasengan into the Uchiha's side. This time, Minato, the fourth hokage of Konoha, the yellow flash, had been fast enough. The Uchiha had phased his body too slowly and the rasengan had torn away a large section of the black cloak with red clouds that he wore. “I think I've kept you long enough,” the Uchiha chuckled as a massive explosion came from the direction of the city. His side was covered in bloody bruises and a rib jutted out through his skin. “Don't keep the Kyuubi waiting too long, Hokage-sama!” The title was pronounced with a distinct lack of reverence and a good helping of sarcasm as the Uchiha disappeared in a swirling vortex. Only when he was sure the man was gone did Minato turn to see what was happening to his beloved ninja village hidden in the leaves.

  • Capítulo 14: Desesperación
    Naruto The strangest exam This fanfic is contains certain elements of fetish such as tickling, starring Sakura Haruno, Hinata Hyuga, Hanabi Huyga, Tenten and Ino Yamanaka. Other characters make an appearance. The murmur of thousand voices echoed in the distance. Sakura glanced nervous at her surroundings just to find expressions that, she imagined, would reflect how she felt at that moment. The confusion and anxiety was palpable. What kind of weird assignment Mrs Tsunade, the recently proclaimed Fifth Hokage, endorsed them to? Behind a curtain, the pink-haired young ninja could imagine a large crowd reunited. What for? A quick inspection of her strange predicament shared by four other girls she knew all too well made recent memories come to her. Before doing so, she looked strangely at the girl on her right. She had only seen her a few times and never spoken to her, even so, she did not expect the Hyuga’s youngest daughter to be this tall. Leaving that thought aside she focussed back on reminiscing the events that lead her to that situation. Judging from their faces, her companions must have been sharing an analogous train of thought. It was a beautiful day at the Hidden Leaf Village, a curious name for a village that so many people were aware of its location. The many inhabitants of this peaceful town woke with energies to perform their daily routines. Some mundane, others a bit more Ninja-related. The latter case was what reunited a threesome of young Ninjas and their master - Kakashi, you are late again! - Yelled an over-energetic blonde Genin wearing a scandalous and quite visible orange tracksuit, whose name was Naruto Uzumaki - As much as I hate to agree with this idiot.

  • Creating Character Networks with Kinship Relations from Comics
    International Journal of Service and Knowledge Management International Institute of Applied Informatics 2020, Vol. 4, No. 1, 1 - 26 Creating Character Networks with Kinship Relations from Comics Harumi Murakami *, Yusuke Nagaoka *, Ryota Kyogoku * Abstract To find and understand comic contents, we present an approach of creating character net- works with semantic relations from comics using the panels and speech balloons. First, we build a dataset that contains a comic’s characters and its words in speech balloons separated by the panels. Second, we extract the semantic relations among characters using the words in the speech balloons and panels. Third, we develop character networks by identifying the important characters using the frequencies of characters and their relatedness, and then we add semantic relations to these networks. As an initial step in finding semantic relations, we focus on kinship relations. We implement our approach and successfully build charac- ter networks from four popular Japanese comics. Finally, we evaluate our kinship relation extraction algorithms and the created character networks. Keywords: manga, comics, character networks, panels, speech balloons 1 Introduction The popularity of manga (Japanese comics) has increased worldwide [1]. Many manga have been translated into other languages, and a large number of manga are being published. For example, over 1 million copies of “Pokemon:´ The Electric Tale of Pikachu” issue #1 have been sold in the United States, making it the best-selling comic book there since 1993 [2]. Manga are usually serialized in magazines and later compiled in books. Some manga resemble long epics. For example, the popular manga “Naruto” was serialized in the magazine Weekly Shonen´ Jump from 1993 vol.
