"Ahhh... Sure enough, are you still too proud..."

Hearing Naruto's ruthless and aggressive questioning words, even Shikamaru, who was a bystander and had not been criticized for the time being, was unwilling to think of any words that could stand firm and refute. After a long silence, he had to sigh and shake his head helplessly.

"Even if it's easy to get along with, it can't change the fact that Naruto is the examiner of this exam... It's probably over now. Tsk, let's think about how to explain to my mother first. Please..."

Apart from being instinctively unwilling to Naruto's decision, even Shikamaru himself did not notice it. When he came to this conclusion, he felt a sense of relief and relaxation in his heart.

Just as Naruto thought, this extraordinary nonsense behavior had already planted a seed that resisted and disgusted Ino in the subconscious...

When he first met Naruto, no matter how Naruto reacted, Shikamaru, who was also worried about being indifferent to Ino who was seeking shelter, still subconsciously responded to Ino and protected him firmly behind his thin body.

Not to mention the fact that this method of protection is of no use for Naruto, but at least, he has played the role of an excellent teammate from beginning to end - formulating an action plan, thinking about risks and consequences, inferring the truth from clues, and standing up to negotiate with Naruto, who is the chief examiner, as the chief examiner. On the premise of doing this, he was also distracted to protect the frightened Ino, giving her the sense of security she needed... From the perspective of her partner and Shikamaru's current age, it is undoubtedly extremely outstanding and reliable.

So, let’s take a look at what Ino has done?

If they were not sure about the other party's identity, they would provoke and fight back with nonchalant words. Then if they had met at that time, they were not Naruto, but the action-oriented sayings of Tenzo who could do something that would never talk much to you... To put it nicely, this is called being outspoken. But if it was to put it bluntly, it would be a disaster that would come from the mouth.

In addition, when it was confirmed that Naruto had no malicious intentions and did not intend to eliminate his group of three - at least for the time being -, Ino's spoiled and willful naughty child character was exposed one by one.

When he is good at distracting and using multiple uses, Naruto seems to be focusing on one thing every time without time to care about it, but he is always paying attention to each of them, thus constantly improving his evaluation of these three people in his heart.

Compared with Shikamaru, who performed well, as the lowest-presented player in the Pig Deer Butterfly Team, Ding Ci's performance is not very good, but he is also above the passing line. When the situation is unclear, he will basically not make any extraordinary moves to interfere with his teammate's actions. He will not hold grudges when he teases his teammates. On the contrary, he can be regarded as being gentle and honest as if he is submissive, and while being taciturn, his teammates' proposals are often done according to his words. In a sense, it is also another way of action.

Compared to Shikamaru, who thinks about the overall situation and is very cautious in every decision, knows that she is not good at socializing and brain-based shortcomings, and gives support to her teammates in a silent way, Ino's performance can be said to be extremely bad, which is worthy of another meaning of her title of Pig Teammate in the Pig Deer Butterfly Team.

Their words and deeds depend on their own preferences. When Ding Ji regarded him as his treasure, he threatened his potato chips as a treasure. When Ding Ji was angry and dissatisfied, he used the potato chips as an air pump and ravaged them in every way, which was enough to show that he had never cared about his teammates' feelings. Because of a small quarrel, he chased Shikamaru, who had never planned to fight back, and almost lost half his life. It was enough to show that Ino's actions of responding to Shikamaru's previous fear and giving him a sense of security and comforting his mood in time, as if it were natural. He should have done this as Shikamaru. While enjoying the protection of his teammates, he was a little grateful and thought that never existed.

The efforts and rewards are obviously inconsistent with each other, and to some extent, they can be regarded as an extraordinary act of gratitude and revenge, which made Shikamaru instinctively feel chill and disgusted with Ino... Although the signs of resistance and alienation are not obvious, the impact is minimal. But if we let it go, no matter whether we let it grow or not, we can foresee how dangerous it will be for the cooperation of this generation of Pig Deer Butterfly Squad.

Naruto's current strict and inhumane practice is to try to strangle the evil result to the bud before it matures.

At the same time, Hinata, who was well-behavedly snuggling in Naruto's arms, had a look of surprise on her face... After all, in her impression, since she met Naruto, she had only seen this cold and terrible face twice. The last time she saw Naruto's appearance was completely different, it was because she was bullied and insulted. Based on this, Hinata knew that if it had not been the case that had touched the bottom line of his predecessor, otherwise Naruto would have been as cold and angry as he was now, and it would have been difficult to get close to.

But this conclusion is not what surprised Hinata...

What surprised Hinata was because after Naruto began to question repeatedly, and with the words, Mori Leng's solemn sense of oppression gradually spread out from Naruto, while he was barely under pressure from the aura, so that even speaking a complete sentence became a luxury... Hinata, who was firmly held in his arms, was extremely abnormal and did not feel any sense of oppression from beginning to end!

And this situation is only two possible...

One is that Hinata's strength is close to Naruto or surpasses Naruto, so that Naruto's pressure does not work on her... But it is obvious that this is impossible to have a life situation.

Another possibility is that while Naruto is intimidating and scolding Ino with his own aura, he can also easily separate his mind to protect Hinata, so as to avoid Hinata in her arms being injured by a slight implicit and accidental injury just like Naruto was furious in front of her for the first time!

As one of the two most famous families in Konoha Ninja Village, Hinata's mind is actually far more delicate and intelligent than most of her peers. It is just that due to the suppression of her introverted shy personality and the outstanding performance of her companions, it seems not very noticeable.

It is also because of this that after realizing that he was not affected at all, Hinata began to think about a possibility in her mind... being able to distract herself and protect herself and take into account her own feelings. So Naruto may not be really angry now. Or, not so angry that she is irreversible?

"If...if...if this is true, then...I might be able..."

After murmured and hesitating for a while, Hinata's kind nature finally gained the upper hand. She pursed her lips and paused to sort out her thoughts for a moment. Then she gently pulled the corner of Naruto's clothes, while her lips squirmed slightly invisibly, and she stumbled in a low voice and begged for love to Naruto.

"Naruto-kun...what you said is a bit too much... Ino is a girl, and she is about to cry... I will give them another chance?"

While speaking, Hinata, who was thinking about pleading for the two of them, did not notice it...

Just as she spoke, Naruto, who was originally serious and cold and stern, had a smile of plan-opening smile in his eyes. But soon, the smile seemed to have never appeared in a flash and disappeared completely. People couldn't help but wonder whether it would be just an illusion.
