Ino originally thought that what Shikamaru said - it would rather offend Tianzang than offend Naruto - just refers to the difference in strength between Tianzang and Naruto [Well... In a sense, girl, you are the truth again.], and in her opinion, this alone is enough to make people feel incredible... But I never thought that Shikamaru's "surprise" thrown outwards far more than these!

As the original 12-year-old Konoha, Shikamaru, who is an intellectual group and a think tank, used the inconspicuous clues that were noticed by many observations as a basis to infer the real role Naruto played in the enrollment process of this ninja school without bias!

"What?! You said he is really... the real examiner?!"

Not only did the "surprise" come one after another, but it was even more unexpected, which made Ino feel like he couldn't resist it. In his trance, as if his whole mind was not enough, his mind gradually became blank. Then he was stunned and stunned, holding his head in his hands and fell into a state of deep confusion and regret.

"Then weren't I... provoking my own death to provoke the examiner who can control the results of this exam?!"

As a playmate who grew up with her childhood, although Ino did not say it clearly, after witnessing it several times, he was quite convinced of Shikamaru's wisdom and observational strength. So much so that when Shikamaru threw out the amazing answer that was whimsical, Ino thought of it first was not to question the authenticity of this answer, and even did not ask how Shikamaru got this answer. Instead, on the basis of unconditional trust and acceptance, he began to feel deeply regretful and regretful for his previous actions.

"Oh my God... Shikamaru! Since you knew it long ago, he is the real examiner who was arranged by the Ninja School to take charge of this exam, why didn't you remind us earlier! It's over, now it's all over, wu... If I'm eliminated like this, how should I explain to my father..."

At first glance, Ino blurted out words that looked like a questioning and shirking responsibility to the people around him. But because of his childhood playmate, Shikamaru was just distracted to look at the people around him who were so anxious that he was scratching his head incoherently, and he did not feel any dissatisfaction or annoyance.

"You have never given me a chance to say it in advance. What can I do... and I dared to be sure just now."

As he spoke, Shikamaru couldn't help but subconsciously shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands. However, a little helplessness was mixed in with a lazy look on his face.

In fact, he never expected that the eloquent eloquence of the little girl beside him could reveal some loopholes in Naruto's words, and the next moment he successfully made Naruto jump into the pit he dug out. For a moment, he instead confronted Naruto, who was already aggressive, and had nothing to say...

All this happened too suddenly, and before we could expect that even Shikamaru could notice something was wrong and wanted to stop him, it was already too late and he was unable to turn things around.

...

Just as Shikamaru told the incredible truth to his teammates and gradually approached, Naruto, who had eaten another slapped at the Nine Lama, seemed to run away in a panic. Accompanied by the Nine Lama's cheerful laughter, he returned all his consciousness to his original body in a rather embarrassing way.

"That illusion is a little too real... unlock achievements or something, I don't want that absurd achievement at all, hey!"

Thoughts remained in the trance of the previous consciousness. While seeing the illusion of laughter and crying "system prompts" that Naruto muttered and complained in his heart, while freeing his hands to cover and squeeze the soft face of the person in his arms, which was still mixed with a bit of baby fat. Then he smiled with a curl and soft voice.

"Good, be good... don't worry Hinata, didn't I say it? I just had a simple stomachache just now, I'll get better after a while... No, don't you think I'm fine now?"

At this time, Hinata, who was full of worries because of Naruto's abnormal behavior, had no longer cared about shyness. Her introverted and shy nature was suppressed and controlled by her deep worry about Naruto. After Naruto hugged herself in her arms, Hinata did not completely soften her arms as usual. Instead, she leaned against Naruto's arms as a support point and stood firm, trying to tiptoe to reduce the height difference between herself and Naruto.

"Naruto-kun... are you sure you're fine? Do you really don't need to call the invigilator to take a look?"

Even though he saw Naruto comforting himself with his own eyes, the painful and uncomfortable look of Naruto covering his stomach with a strange expression before was too powerful. So much so that after Hinata pursed his lips slightly, he still asked Naruto softly with some concern. Then, while his face was filled with worry and anxious expression, his eyes were flowing back and forth carefully observing and looking at it. He tried to tell whether Naruto was really okay at this time, or was he just to endure the pain and pretend to be fine just to make himself feel at ease.

"Of course, look, after a short rest, I have no problem at all now, and I am completely resurrected with full blood~"

Although he couldn't bear to deceive the person in his arms, he completed the "glorious" record of his own two-combo in a short time, which made Naruto feel extremely unspeakable humiliation. While using his superb acting skills to adjust his facial muscles, he raised his head slightly to create an undetectable blind spot in his vision, and covered the twitching and trembling at the corners of his mouth as much as possible.

"Well...it seems to be true..."

Hinata, who was simple-minded, naturally did not notice Naruto's cover-up movements. She pouted and looked back and forth carefully until she could not see any strangeness on Naruto's face. Then she slowly put down her tiptoe and stood firm again. She paused a little while in her words, and then added a sentence with concern.

"But... Naruto-kun, if you feel uncomfortable again later, it's better to ask the supervisor to come and take a look."

Of course, Hinata, who was devoted to Naruto, did not realize that his intimate behavior just now looked like a young wife who became nervous because she was worried about her husband's physical condition...

"Yes, yes, received, Lord Hinata~"

Seeing that Hinata in her arms confirmed that she was in good health during repeated investigations, and temporarily dispelled the thought of calling the invigilator, Naruto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With a smile in her eyes, she was enjoying the warmth that was born from the sincere care of the person in her arms, and while tactfully not exposing the ambiguous appearance of Hinata's previous actions.

Naruto was as if he was nowhere to be around, and the scene of pampering Hinata made Shikamaru and Ino who were gradually approaching, suddenly felt like the two high-wattage light bulbs that were enough to blind dog eyes in the dark, shining.

"...Shikamaru, are you really sure...he is the examiner?"

“……………………………………………………………”

Although the words were not clear about the meaning of many words such as "single dog" and "dog abuse" because of their young age, Shikamaru and Ino subconsciously turned their eyes and avoided the scene in front of them that should be considered warm but inexplicably sad. After looking at each other, they also saw that the expression on the other person's face became more strange and as if they were caught in some illusion, they saw the blurred words flashing through the other person's eyes.

System prompt: Congratulations to players Nara Shikamaru [Yamanaka Ino] for unlocking achievements - Win the mouth cannon and lose life...

System prompt: Congratulations to players Nara Shikamaru [Yamanaka Ino] for unlocking the achievement - dog food!

System prompt: Congratulations to players Nara Shikamaru [Yamanaka Ino] for achieving hidden conditions and unlocking special titles - Single Dog [Strip] the fragrance of single nobles!

As for the birth of this change, was it something Naruto never thought of... or did it intentionally and retaliate from another perspective?

Perhaps no one can know except Naruto himself.
