Just as Naruto, both outside and inside, ate it twice in a row because of the pit he dug himself, so that he was a little confused and doubted about his life. Shikamaru, who had the most outstanding IQ in the Pig Deer and Butterfly trio, secretly muttered to his heart.

"Don't, if this guy is really what I thought... then wouldn't we..."

Instead of not having a smile on his face, his neck was involuntarily shrank as if he had foreseeed something big up. Even the eyes looking at Naruto became nervous.

"Please, I'm really troublesome now... Ino, Ino, you really dare to say it..."

At the same time, after seeing Naruto's mouth twitching, he stood still motionless, Ino did not know that this was because Lama Kura had added Naruto's sword from the inside, but instead mistakenly thought that it was because his previous joke was too lethal. While the smile on his face gradually faded, he began to feel a little inexplicably guilty and uneasy from his intuition.

"Hey... Shikamaru, did I say it a little too much just now? Why do you feel... that guy has turned into a fool?"

While looking at Naruto's eyes were dull and his silly smile was subconscious from time to time, he stretched out his elbow to gently push Shikamaru, who was also stunned by the other side. After pausing for a little, Ino suggested carefully and softly.

"Anyway, Ding Ji should have had almost rest, why don't we... let's take a step first?"

"Go ahead..."

The call of his teammates gradually made Shikamaru come to his senses, but the complex expression on his face, whether he was crying or laughing, did not improve at all. Instead, he looked up and down at Ino beside him, making people wonder if there was anything dirty on him. While sighing and shook his head, he said something that made people confused.

"I just want to leave now, maybe I'll just postpone the time when the bad ending comes for a little while... I'm doing a pretty job, Ino."

The unexpected reply I got made Ino a little confused, and then subconsciously thought that this was some kind of joke made by Shikamaru with him.

"Beautiful job...? What am I doing? I..."

With a slightly frowning of her eyebrows, Ino pouted her mouth and looked a little dissatisfied and coquettish. But after seeing the complex and strange expression on Shikamaru's face from the corner of her eyes, she swallowed all the complaints that came to her mouth back into her stomach.

Among the secret techniques with different styles between the three tribes, under the baptism of war, a complete set of perfectly compatible cooperation tactics have gradually been born. The relationship between the three tribes is also the most harmonious and harmonious in Konoha Ninja Village under the inheritance and succession of deep comrades and forces. This new generation of Pig Deer Butterfly Team, which is vaguely used by Shikamaru, is naturally no exception.

From the time I remembered, Ino, Dingji and Shikamaru became a good playmate to play together under the guidance of their parents intentionally or unintentionally. Because of this, Ino can be said to be well aware of the meaning of Shikamaru's specific expression changes...

Although Ino has seen the expression that Shikamaru now has not been enough to count by hand, he has a deep impression of it - because this expression can only be seen on Shikamaru's face, which has always been lazy and unmotivated, only after causing some disaster.

"What did I do..."

Thinking of this, Ino's confidence was greatly reduced when he spoke. He pursed his lips and whispered in a low voice, and he gently pulled Shikamaru's neck of his clothes with grievance.

"Is it as bad as you said..."

“…Ahhh…If my guess goes wrong, it’s not that bad…”

As he spoke, Shikamaru's eyes did not move away from Naruto from beginning to end. After seeing Naruto shook his head and gradually recovering from his mind, he raised his hand and patted Ino's shoulder while continuing to speak meaningfully.

"But if I really guessed correctly by the misfortune and the other party is more vengeful... we probably have to wait until next year to have the opportunity to enter school."

From Shikamaru's response, Ino could not hear any meaning of jokes. His intuition became more and more uneasy, and he looked along with Shikamaru's gaze that had never deflected and moved. Until now, wherever Shikamaru's eyes reached, there was no other goal except Naruto and Hinata, he finally understood what Shikamaru's inexplicable "praise" what he meant.

"This...is so serious?"

As he spoke, Ino swallowed secretly. Then he looked at Naruto carefully, and then he realized that the identity of the person in front of him might not be ordinary. But after thinking hard for a while, he really couldn't imagine what identity the person in front of him was hidden, which would make Shikamaru, who would have a very good life, look frowning. He paused for a moment, and had to hope that the people around him could tell him the answer directly.

"Who is he...?"

"If you ask for the name, I'm the same as you, and I don't know. After all, I haven't even seen him before this exam... but there is one thing I can be 100% sure of now."

Seeing Naruto recovering his mind, his first reaction was not to ask for guilt, but to take Hinata, who was worried about him, and lowered his head and patiently sootheed his voice. At first glance, Shikamaru felt a little relieved. Then, as Ino's inquiry, he stepped forward and muttered to himself, and responded in a low voice.

"But if you ask him about the role he played in this exam... I think it would be much better to offend the open examiner in the school than to offend him directly."

Even though he was mentally prepared in advance, the answer given by Shikamaru still showed Ino's expectations - you know, Ino's original worst plan in Shikamaru's solemn expression was just that Naruto's strength was the best in his contemporary life, and he could easily defeat the three of them and take revenge with his fists... Well, in a sense, her idea was correct, or she guessed the truth.

But no matter how Ino guesses, he did not compare Naruto with the previously vicious examiner, not to mention that in the answer given by Shikamaru, he believed that Naruto's danger was far better than the examiner who forcibly suppressed the entire audience with his own strength?!

"I'll... offend that irritable examiner is much better than offending him? How could it be...?!"

The answer obtained from Shikamaru's mouth is completely different from the funny and ridiculous image Naruto showed. For a moment, Ino, who could not withstand such a huge contrast of nature and difference, subconsciously exclaimed. Then he realized that his actions were too eye-catching, raised his hand and covered his mouth tightly. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly accelerated his pace to keep up with Shikamaru's actions so that he could only feel safe from this teammate who was most reliable in his impression and calm his panic.

"Hey, Shikamaru, what are you...what are you going to do now?"

"Tsk, women are just trouble... Do you need to ask? Anyway, I have done it. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to take advantage of his current mood when he looks pretty good..."

After realizing the fear and worry that was almost unfair in Ino's words that followed closely, Shikamaru raised his hand and rubbed his head a little irritatedly, while calmly turning his steps. In a quiet voice, he vaguely protected Ino behind him. Then he returned to his usual lazy and unenergized appearance. As the light in his eyes flowed, he whispered to himself like a broken can.

"Go and ask, can this real examiner let us go..."
