Mixed with Konoha water everyday life

Seeing Naruko's lonely look, Shikamaru felt a little uncomfortable. Naruko, who was already ridiculously strong, was still not satisfied with her own strength, and it was precisely because of this unsatisfied emotion that forced Naruko to continue to become stronger.

I have always liked to use laziness as an excuse to paralyze myself. Although I pride myself on attaching great importance to my companions, why can't I do it to the same extent as Naruko? Like Naruko, in order to better protect her companions, she constantly forces Making yourself stronger sounds great~

It would be fine if Naruko was just one of the few special cases, but Sasuke and Hinata were just like Naruko. She knew exactly where the diligence that forced them to practice hard came from.

It's that kind of eagerness to protect his companions. He obviously has this kind of thing. Just like in the forest at that time, he was even willing to give his life to protect his companions, but... why... why didn't he want to go? To become stronger for them.

Shikamaru didn't want to use laziness as an excuse anymore.

"It's just because I don't pay enough attention to my companions. It seems that I have to ask my father about cultivation in the future. No, not in the future. I will go back tonight, no, I will go back in a while!"

"Shikamaru, what did you say?"

Hearing Shikamaru's thoughts, Naruko looked at Shikamaru. Although she was still in a mess, she was still keenly aware of the changes in Shikamaru's mood. But she wondered whether it was because of her words that she had caused the other party What's bothering you?

"I'm sorry, is it because my words affected your mood?"

"No, no! Of course not. I mean, as for Hinata, I went to see her some time ago and she is recovering well. She has been able to move around freely in the past two days. Don't worry too much."

"That's it, that's fine."

After hearing Shikamaru's words, Naruko breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression softened a lot, but the hint of regret between her eyebrows never dissipated.

"I'm going to find Sasuke first. I'll play with you when I have time. Bye."

After greeting the two of them, Naruko took Haku and left. Kiba and Shikamaru stood there, waving to Naruko blankly. For a long time, Kiba opened his mouth first.

"Shikamaru, you feel it too, right?"

"Ah."

"Aren't we terrible?"

"Ah."

"What should we do?"

"With this apology, practice and become stronger."

Shikamaru's last words were more firm than ever before. He wanted to become strong, very strong, so strong that he could only look up to him now. Only in this way could he be worthy of the gift of this apology to him.

Shikamaru warned himself silently in his heart, but the teeth on the side did not stop.

"Speaking of Shikamaru, Hinata is really getting better soon. You're not just saying that to comfort Naruko, right?"

"Of course not, why do you ask?"

"Nothing, just making sure."

"I can't tell you care about Hinata."

"Um... Actually, that's not the case. Rather, I hope she can lie quietly in bed for a while."

"why?"

"You know, that violent girl Hinata, there is enough violence in this world, she always likes to add fuel to the fire, and mainly, she always likes to threaten us, and even take our anger out on us, you know me. "

Faced with Kiba's complaints, Shikamaru did feel the same way. Just like Kiba said, he understood very well, because like Kiba, he was a prop that Hinata liked to use to vent her anger. Thinking of this, Shikamaru also wondered if Hinata was An Anjing. It is better to lie still for a while.

"What you said..."

Before he finished speaking, Shikamaru suddenly noticed Hinata who was standing behind Kiba at some point, with a gloomy expression on his face, as if he was brewing something.

"What you said is not right, Ya. Hinata is actually very nice. Maybe you just haven't understood her feelings yet."

Shikamaru's blunt change of words made Kiba feel baffled.

"Are you kidding me, that Hinata guy, whenever I think about her, I feel creepy. It's definitely not good to be stared at by her. Plus, with her white eyes, I feel like I'm being watched all the time. It feels like... It was like she was standing behind me and staring at me."

"Really? As expected of you, your feeling...how should I put it, is quite accurate."

Shikamaru's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to look at Hinata behind Kiba. He was afraid that the other party would cause trouble for him, so he could only pray silently for Kiba in his heart.

"Accurate? Accurate, what accurate? What are you talking about, Shikamaru? Why can't I understand?"

"nothing,"

Shikamaru turned around and left, intending to leave this place of right and wrong so as not to affect him later.

Yahu hadn't realized the situation yet. When he saw Shikamaru suddenly leaving quickly, he immediately followed him.

"Hey, Shikamaru, where are you going? You're in such a hurry."

"I'm going to practice, so don't follow me."

"Is it such a coincidence? I also want to practice, why don't we do it together? Let's do it together!"

Ya yelled and ran away, surpassing Shikamaru in front of him, and quickly ran into the distance.

Relying on his excellent investigative ability and athletic stamina, Ya thought he had escaped, but Hinata always stood there and had no intention of chasing the two to settle the score. She didn't even care much about the two leaving and just watched lonely. Looking in the direction Naruko left.

I originally planned to go to Naruko's house to see Naruko as soon as I recovered from the injury, but I met Naruko and Shikamaru chatting on the way. Before I could say hello, I heard what Naruko said.

Although their conversation just now was not intentional, Hinata did hear it, and it was very clear that Naruko didn't want to see her right now.

Hinata didn't know what to do. Of course, she had never blamed Naruko at all, nor had she doubted their relationship at all, but the knot in Naruko's heart could not be untied by just a few words of forgiveness.

Hinata was also a little helpless about this. If she could, she really wanted to take out her heart to prove to Naruko that she really didn't blame her, as long as she wouldn't continue to feel sad because of herself.

But he was not crazy enough to actually do this, so in the end he could only sigh.

"My lord! My lord!"

A clear call woke up Hinata. Hanabi ran over and grabbed Hinata's hand. She pouted and accused Hinata softly, but the words without any accusation sounded more like coquettishness.

"Really, onee-sama's injury has not healed yet, so you can't run around. Mother asked me to take care of onee-sama. If onee-sama runs around, Hanabi will be angry."

"I'm sorry for worrying Hanabi. I just saw a few friends. I won't run around next time."

Hinata gently rubbed Hanabi's hair and was forgiven easily.

If only Naruko could be coaxed so easily.
