Partnership

Looks like Shikamaru's laziness even affected me.. huh.. I sense a guy near me.. He doesn't seem to have any malicious intent. It is Surprising that in a deathmatch, he would not have any. Seems like he has something special. Looks like Shikamaru really did affect me . shi-shi-shi..(grinning foolishly)

Naruto spots a black haired lithe young man whom he recognises as Nie Yan from the announcement. He instantly appears behind him and karate chops him.

*blocked*

Nie Yan blocked it. Naruto is surprised.

"How did you do that?", asked naruto.

" Training, i could not have survived had you been serious, Naruto-kun", said Nie Yan

"What do you want?"

"Cooperation"

"Why would i accept that?"

"Because i have this(shows him the contract). We can both win, and moreover , killing alone gets boring"

"Amen to that"

And so their partnership began
