Naruto: Changing Fate

Just when Shikamaru and Ino felt inexplicably sad and helpless, it even directly triggered the achievement to unlock the three-hit combo and looked depressed.Standing aside to comfort Hinata, Naruto, who was well aware of the origin of this complex emotion, kept his eyes straight as usual, as if he had no idea, and his face was full of innocence.

Didn't you have time to say it... No wonder you already knew the truth, but you kept silent from beginning to end, as if you were watching a show.

While murmuring to himself, Naruto raised the corners of his mouth slightly and imperceptibly, revealing a smile full of smug teasing. He also adjusted his posture so that the well-behaved Hinata in his arms could snuggle up more comfortably. In my arms.After pausing for a while, he freed up more attention and gradually shifted to Shikamaru and Ino, who were slowly approaching step by step.

If I remember correctly, in Ino Shikacho's battle group, Ino's Yamanaka clan symbolizes pigs, right?So from this point of view, in a sense...this is probably the legendary...pig teammate, can't he lead him?

It's not that Shikamaru and Ino were talking so loudly that Naruto, who was concentrating on comforting Hinata, could hear the words between the two clearly.But since Naruto learned the shadow clone, the practice of using the shadow clone to accelerate the accumulation of training experience and thereby quickly improve the proficiency of ninjutsu has become one of Naruto's daily operations... even when the main body is enrolling in a ninja school. Now that the exam is taking place, the No. [-] outdoor survival training ground, which has become Naruto's usual training ground, is still hiding hundreds of shadow clones who are hard at work.

Because of this, abilities such as multitasking naturally became one of Naruto's basic operations as he digested and absorbed the memories of shadow clones over time.So much so that while Naruto was embarrassed by Ino's teasing and Kurama's teasing, he endured the sadness to regain consciousness and softly comforted Hinata, he still had a lot of free time to strengthen his perception and observe Shikamaru and others. ’s doings.And because of this unintentional approach, he listened to the entire conversation between Shikamaru and Ino, word for word.

Of course, what Shikamaru didn't know was that Naruto subconsciously blurted out what Shikamaru said in response to Ino after hearing him.As his brain thoughts raced rapidly, he accurately translated another layer of grievance hidden in Shikamaru's words, that is...

What can I do, I'm so desperate!

At the same time, the distance between the Ino, Deer, Butterfly trio and Naru Hina was not too far in the first place.Even the worried Shikamaru and the anxious Ino subconsciously chose to slow down their progress.But after just a few words of exchange, he stood right in front of Naruto who was smiling again.

Um?What's wrong?

Sensing the approach of the two, Naruto tilted his head slightly.While blinking his eyes deliberately, making a puzzled look, he tried to look as non-threatening as possible.While turning his gaze towards the two of them, he asked out of curiosity.

Excuse me... is there anything I can do for you?

However, Ino's unscrupulous teasing response before without knowing the truth, and the embarrassing scene that made Naruto so heartbroken that he could not refute, are still vivid in the minds of the two of them.As a result, with all kinds of mixed feelings in his heart, even though there was no trace of anger or dissatisfaction in the smile Naruto showed to the two of them, it made the two of them feel more and more worried and scared.

What's more, as a supporting role in the trio of Ino Shikacho and Ino, Ino's keen perception is far superior to that of her peers, which is one of her innate talents.Nervous and frightened, she subconsciously pushed this ability to the limit... Therefore, even though Naruto had already deliberately restrained and suppressed his strength at this time, Ino could still vaguely sense it from Naruto. A terrifying and dangerous atmosphere.

Hey, hey...Shikamaru, he's looking at us!And he...he...he is still smiling...Does this mean we will definitely be eliminated?

As her body trembled uncontrollably due to the instinctive fear, Ino's courage to look at Naruto instantly dissipated. Like a frightened rabbit, Ino curled up and hid firmly behind the deer. Behind Maru, he stretched out his hand and gently tugged at the corner of Shikamaru's clothes, crying for help and asking in a low voice.

Woo--what should I do...

Compared to Ino, who had completely lost his struggle and thoughts and fell into despair, Shikamaru, who was trying to keep himself calm, also felt guilty and powerless at this time.After seeing Naruto's response of not being angry but smiling, his legs began to tremble inexplicably and started to shake slightly.

He had imagined that after Naruto saw him and Ino arriving, he would roar in anger and vent his dissatisfaction.He had also imagined that Naruto would use his words to tease and ridicule them in a weird way... But what he never expected was that Naruto would show such a bright and warm smile to them!

For a moment, Shikamaru and Ino not only did not regard this abnormal appearance as Naruto's simple gesture of goodwill to make them feel at ease, but instead mistakenly thought that Naruto's castle was extremely profound [...well , it seems right to think so. 】.The result of the counterproductive situation was contrary to what Naruto had in mind, making the two of them even more vigilant.

Just...even if you ask that, there's nothing I can do...

As he pursed his lips and struggled to speak out a response, Shikamaru instinctively opened his arms to cover Ino's entire figure behind him.Then, while the corner of his mouth twitched violently, he raised his head a little, trying his best to keep his eyes fixed on Naruto, while secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, trying to slightly calm the restless and thumping heart in his chest.

Tsk, you are in big trouble, there is no sign of anger on your face... This is simply the most difficult and worst situation...

It was precisely because Ino and Shikamaru sensed an increasingly strong sense of vigilance and vigilance.Only then did Naruto belatedly discover that in the current situation, the way he responded to the person in front of him might, in a sense, be more terrifying and terrifying than roaring angrily... after all. Compared with those who are already mentally prepared and well aware of the outcome, it is often easier for people to lose their sense of security when facing an uncertain future.

There was no reaction at all... It seems that being too gentle will scare these little guys more easily... Interesting, this is something I was careless and didn't think of.

Caressing and stroking gently with his palms, while slowly arranging the slightly scattered hair of the gentle man in his arms, Naruto, who understood the reason, couldn't help but smile even more in his eyes.Then, amidst Hinata's red-faced exclamations, he carefully picked up Hinata's petite and soft body in his arms, while slowly approaching Shikamaru and Ino, who were vaguely thinking of retreating.While talking to himself, he deliberately increased his voice a little bit, as if he wanted to be heard clearly.

Since you are silent, I will not be polite next time...

Naruto's vague words and his deliberately slow pace to gradually increase the pressure not only made Ino cover her mouth and nose with both hands, not daring to breathe out.Even Shikamaru's face showed an expression of nervousness and apprehension, as if facing a formidable enemy.

……coming!Finally couldn't help but want to take action...

After sticking out his tongue and gently licking the corners of his lips that felt inexplicably dry, Shikamaru gritted his teeth and forced himself to concentrate as much as possible.Knowing that escaping was just a useless effort, he still kept his arms open to protect Ino behind him.

Is this the coercion of the examiner responsible for this year's assessment... No, this level is probably the result of deliberate restraint.

While standing in front of Naruto without hesitation, as Naruto approached step by step, Shikamaru felt a sense of curiosity and excitement in his heart that even surprised him.

Anyway, I would like to know...in this case, what exactly are you going to do?
