Naruto: Changing Fate

Chapter 165 A “dedicated” good friend

As Naruto continued to rely on his own perception to guide the exploration, and the powerful fire balls that appeared from time to time pointed out the direction, he led everyone to deliberately contradict the direction pointed by the guide signs, and once again embarked on the opposite wrong path, intentionally or unintentionally speeding up the pace While moving forward quickly.Let us move the time forward a little and look at the conversation between Shikamaru and Naruto that no one except Hinata knows before Naruto persuaded Shikamaru and his party to continue traveling to take the exam...

What accident happened during this process...that made Naruto look so solemn and nervous now as if he was facing a powerful enemy?

……

……

Speaking of which, I seem to have seen the effect of this ninjutsu many times before...ah!correct!I see!That should be the powerful fireball technique!However, the difficulty of this ninjutsu is as high as C-level... If you can learn it and release a huge fireball of this size, that person is probably a chuunin, right?

Perhaps it’s because I’ve witnessed it several times with my own eyes, so the impression becomes clearer.While thinking hard, Shikamaru not only exclaimed the name of the ninjutsu represented by the orange fireball, but also estimated the strength of the user. Compared with each other, it can be said that with Ming The results of people's guesses are almost exactly the same.

Um?You are quite knowledgeable, Shikamaru...

While hearing Shikamaru's words, Naruto was also able to accurately identify the name of the ninjutsu due to the detailed understanding of the people around him about the Go Fireball Jutsu, and also knew its difficulty level, and thus further understood the strength of the performer. The guess was pretty close - I couldn't help but respond in surprise, prompted by my subconscious instinct.

But soon, Naruto realized the reason.

Although Naruto first came into contact with the Fireball Jutsu, it was because of the detailed description on the training scroll that Sasuke brought from the Uchiha clan. It is the most common and versatile fire escape ninjutsu among the Uchiha clan... but this It does not mean that the art of high fireball is the patent of the Uchiha clan.On the contrary, due to the characteristics of how much chakra is poured into the Hao Fireball Technique, the lethality can be increased proportionally, and the difficulty of learning is only at the C level, which is neither high nor low, which is just right. Compared with other fire escape ninjutsu, the price-performance ratio seems to be more and more affordable, and it also has quite good properties, which has become a unique and attractive advantage, so it can be spread more widely.

Thinking about it this way, for Shikamaru, who is a rising star among the new generation of the Nara clan, with the help of his family's power background, he has obtained detailed information about ninjutsu that is not a unique secret skill of a certain family through certain channels. It's really not a rare thing.After all, even in terms of abilities and properties, no matter how close he is to the auxiliary role.The Nara clan is also one of the long-established families in the wood industry ninja village with rich heritage that cannot be ignored... not to mention that they often

Indeed, judging from the previous performance, the caster had the right timing for the fireball to explode in the air, allowing the fireball to fall directly in the air and be completely extinguished and disappear without affecting anything on the ground. Anything... From here, it is enough to see that the caster has quite precise control.

After thinking about this, the look of surprise on Naruto's face slowly faded away, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised in approval. He smiled and nodded in response, acknowledging the correctness of Shikamaru's conjecture, and while sorting out his thoughts, Start talking.

It can be inferred from this that the caster has either reached the level of Chunin, or has learned and mastered this powerful fire ball technique quite proficiently.

That is, after all, my stinky dad always forces me to learn this and that. It’s hard not to know...

Shikamaru shrugged lazily and helplessly, and while responding in an understatement, Shikamaru gradually opened his mouth at the person's next words.After a short pause, he tried his best to hold back his smile and put on a straight face, while he kept glancing up and down at Naruto. Then he pretended to be serious, and because of his increasingly familiar relationship with Naruto, he boldly teased and teased him. Come.

Ah?I can't tell, but you have a very thorough understanding of the Fireball Jutsu, Naruto... It should be said that you are truly worthy of being a 'young' examiner?Judging from this, you must be very good at fire-type ninjutsu, right?

Hum, you can say that, but unfortunately, the type of ninjutsu I am best at is still the wind release~ It's just because of this powerful fireball technique, but it was the first ninjutsu I taught Sasuke step by step...

……stare--

...Uh-huh, hahaha, eh...I...I just said that this powerful fireball technique happens to be the signature skill of one of my best friends.

Hearing this, he held his head high and responded proudly. The corner of his eye moved by instinct that had gradually become a habit, and he accidentally glanced at the slightly strange guarded gaze of the person in his arms. Naruto suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt. Then subconsciously, regardless of the reluctance of the meaning of the sentence, he coughed a few times and forced the interruption, then he changed his words with an embarrassed smile and hurriedly changed his words.

As long as you have seen a lot in the past and know it so clearly, it will be natural, right?

Huh, okay, okay, okay, luckily I changed my words in time and didn’t get sent out... huh?Wait a minute, something seems to be wrong... Sasuke and I seem to be... both boys, right...?Isn't it strange that there is a deep and strong bond of friendship between boys?

As the words fell, the strange expression on Hinata's face gradually returned to her usual well-behaved and calm appearance, which could not help but relieve Naruto's unreasonable feelings of guilt... But he soon realized that something was wrong, and the corner of his mouth As he twitched and trembled, his eyes turned into beetles in his heart, he held his head and began to moan and complain.

If you think about it this way...since I didn't hide it from Hinata and get too close to another girl to have an affair...then why am I guilty here?This is too strange! !

Yeah?Suspicious... Well, forget it, let's ignore it... According to what you said, this person who frequently releases huge fireballs should not be able to practice ninjutsu - and even if he does, this kind of ninjutsu can easily cause accidental injuries. Fire escape techniques should be practiced in a training ground far away from human habitation, or in an area with abundant water sources. If you think about it this way, this move is more like deliberately releasing it into the sky for some purpose. from……

Regarding Naruto's unintentionally exposed expression of tangled annoyance, Shikamaru thought for a moment, thinking that Naruto didn't want to tell too much about the truth, and didn't think much about it.After a slight pause, he raised his head to look at the brilliant fireball that appeared again, raised his hands to lazily hold his head, and continued speaking casually like a deliberately cliche.

Look, another shot, the interval seems to be getting shorter and shorter... Could it be that you really arranged this person?

Go, go, come less, I told you, I don't have time to arrange free 'fireworks show' benefits for you...

That's true, but if you didn't deliberately arrange it... I can't think of any reason why others would do this?

Without waiting for Naruto to retort, Shikamaru continued speaking.While waving his fingers lightly, as if he wanted to see through Naruto completely, those dark, bright and curious eyes were fixed on Naruto from beginning to end.

After all, from the beginning to the present, the spitting angle of the fire ball has been fixed from beginning to end, indicating that the man has not moved at all during this period of time.The method of spitting it into the air neither hurts anyone nor has any lethality... apart from being used as eye-catching 'fireworks', it is purely useless.

So what, it has nothing to do with me anyway... Maybe someone has such a strange hobby of sensationalizing, and likes to spit fire everywhere when he is so free...

As he spoke, Naruto quickly filtered through the list of invigilators in his mind.After confirming that no one had the ability and inclination to continuously release the powerful fireball technique, he felt even more innocent. Just when he was about to retort angrily and resist taking the blame, he was stimulated by a certain word that Shikamaru had accidentally mentioned before. He stood frozen in place.

Wait a minute...it will attract attention...shouldn't it...

Feeling doubtful, Naruto directed his mental perception in the direction of the orange-red fireball that had just risen and exploded. Then, even in the hot air, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and sensed the familiar aura that verified the suspicion in his heart. , couldn't help but cry in my heart without tears.

Damn it?Is that true? !I just said, why does that look so familiar... The huge fireball that just acted as a 'firework' of emotion was entirely Sasuke's handiwork! ! !

After a pause and silence for a long time, the confusion in his heart suddenly became clear. Naruto then turned his head little by little, as if mechanically, and looked at Shikamaru with a strange expression, and there was also a faint hint of something in his voice. Meaning of fear.

Now, Shikamaru...after I helped Choji start the treatment, how many times did this giant fire ball appear in total?

Um?Strange...why do you suddenly think of asking this?

After raising his eyebrows in confusion and asking questions, he saw that Naruto did not answer his thoughts at all. Instead, his brows were furrowed, and the look on his face became increasingly anxious and weird. At the same time, Shikamaru was also vaguely affected by the tense atmosphere caused by the inexplicable changes in Naruto. , and became dignified and serious.After a slight pause, he stopped delaying too much. While thinking carefully about it in his mind, he looked up at the orange fireball that reappeared and continued speaking word by word.

Let me think about it, it seems to be six... Huh?I am really getting more and more diligent, and there is another shot... Counting this one, it should be the seventh time...

... Damn it, it has appeared so many times... I remember that in the previous highest record, it was only released twice... It took me a long time to coax it out just that time, but this time it actually happened It took seven rounds...I'm afraid my life will end today...

Even though he had expected the result, when he heard the heartbreakingly cold answer Shikamaru gave him without knowing it, Naruto still couldn't help but show his despair. Then the blood on his face faded and he looked pale and weak. At the same time, he muttered crazy words in a low voice.

Let’s not talk about whether the little guy will start crying because of this... The frequency of the release of these huge fireballs is almost catching up with the non-stop burst mode... The child is obviously reaching the limit of his patience. It's possible to go berserk...

As he spoke, the image of the little Utopia Fan lying on the ground, rolling around and crying, which made him feel helpless but deeply distressed, appeared in his mind. However, Naruto became more and more frightened by another possibility. .

No, no, no, now is not the time to worry about this... If I go there at that hour again, I'm afraid I have to go directly to see my parents... Or, I should say, based on my past experience, as long as There will be no accidents during this period... Even if I rush over now, I will be directly roasted alive by the little guy using a huge fire ball to make Uzumaki Naruto, and then be sent to live with the old man while the smell of barbecue is exuding all over my body. It seems that the possibility of parents meeting again is not small, right? !

Hello, Naruto?Naruto?are you OK?Why is your face getting worse and worse?

Shikamaru, who was kept in the dark and confused, obviously didn't know what Naruto was struggling with.After pausing in doubt for a while, he simply thought that Naruto was exhausted from the previous efforts to restore and heal his group, so that now he couldn't hold on and showed his fatigue.I couldn't help but said to myself gratefully in my heart.

It seems that the burden of curing three people in one breath is really not light. I am so tired that I am mentally disturbed... Even though I am already so troubled and uncomfortable, I can still bother to help me answer my questions... Naruto This guy is indeed a sharp-tongued guy...

They were all at odds with each other about what they thought and knew. Invisibly, Shikamaru became more grateful and admired for Naruto's views... and it was precisely because of this unintentional misunderstanding. , two completely opposite and quite funny thoughts suddenly appeared in the hearts of Shikamaru and Naruto.

The reason why it looks like this now must be because I consumed too much and at the same time, I was worried that I would not be able to continue supervising the exam...

Hmm...let me think about it...if I take these three little guys together as witnesses, it should be able to prove that I didn't intentionally ignore and forget him...

If you think so.

If you think so.

It's really nice to have such a dedicated friend like Naruto...

When the time comes, can I die a little more honorably?

……

The timeline moves backward and back to the present...

Just as Naruto, who was feeling desperate and frightened, followed the guidance of the fire ball technique of the small fan that frequently exploded in the air, while constantly searching for the breath of the small fan along the road, while quickly approaching quickly and slowly, another person suddenly appeared. aspect……

Xiao Tuan Fan, who was already angry, was disturbed by some uninvited guests who were ignorant of current affairs...

Or, should I say...

Are sandbags delivered to your doorstep more appropriate?

Prince: ...ah bah bah bah!What's the point of being immortal? I'm obviously doing something serious, and I'm not abandoning Sasuke!What's there to be afraid of... Wait a minute, something seems wrong.

And... why am I feeling guilty again at this critical moment? ?I'm obviously a straight man, right? !
