Something's wrong with this Hinata in Konoha

Chapter 290 Support Team and Mind Reading

After Shisui opened his mouth, Kakashi, Anko and other Jonin who had friendships and contacts with Hinata Inaba also spoke in admiration.

“The quality of this year’s students is indeed much better than before.”

"These two little guys are quite powerful. I am moved by the sight of them. Why don't I let them be my apprentices? I still don't have a serious successor to my great snake."

On the other side, several jounin representatives of the ninja clan seemed relatively silent.

The more beautifully Naruto and Sasuke fought, the more indescribable feelings surged in their hearts.

On the one hand, they lament and are unwilling to accept that their family's advantageous position is being rapidly overtaken by a group of common people. On the other hand, they find it difficult to refuse this rapidly growing educational resource.

Because their children are still attending this kind of school!

There is a very complicated mood, sad and happy, unwilling and joyful, all mixed and hard to describe.

But the only thing that allowed them to quickly reach a consensus was that after watching Naruto's final exam against Sasuke, they already understood that it was impossible to stop Hinata Inaba from continuing to deepen the education reform.

Such a strong ninja can actually be cultivated by a ninja school alone. Such basic education can be said to be the best in the ninja world, so how can we stop it?What to do to stop it?

In the end, a representative of the small ninja clan could only force a smile, bowed his head to Hinata Inaba and congratulated: "Congratulations, Hokage-sama, you have created another amazing miracle!"

Obviously this is a contest and competition between the two children of Naruto and Sasuke, but outside the court, these jounin and ninja representatives are unanimously paying homage to Hinata Inaba Michiki who is sitting in the main seat, and To express gratitude and praise.

Whether sincere or not, at this moment every Jonin present was unanimously praising the Hokage for another miracle he had created.

So much so that several little guys on the playground began to exchange doubts.

"What are those Jonin teachers on the podium doing? Why don't they seem to be watching the competition? Why are they all looking at Hokage-sama?"

Shikamaru, who was surrounded by this class of graduates, glanced over there and quickly revealed the truth.

"If there is a graduate who is the strongest in his class, they will pay attention to that child, but if there is a graduate who is the strongest in history, they will naturally pay more attention to the principal."

Shikamaru always looked like he was not interested in anything, with his eyes lowered. Just like his father when he was young, he liked to talk about "so tired and troublesome" when he had nothing to do.

But this does not prevent him from being able to accurately see the key to things at a glance most of the time.

Therefore, the students around him were very convinced of his judgment.

As soon as Yamanaka Ino heard this, little stars appeared in his eyes, and his whole body seemed to have peach blossoms.

"You mean Sasuke is the strongest in history? Oh my god! Is His Highness Sasuke so powerful? My Lord Sasuke, you are indeed the best!"

Shikamaru's eyes grew duller.

He felt that Ino completely missed the point of what he said.

But forget it, he was afraid of trouble and didn't want to argue with Ino about this kind of thing, so he simply followed Ino's words and said: "If you only consider the time point of graduating from Ninja School, then there is really no problem in calling him the strongest in history, but In the past, many famous ninjas graduated at a much younger age than us."

This was already a tactful reminder to Ino that we just graduated late and were not really invincible at the same age.

It's a pity that Ino, who was caught in the pink peach blossom atmosphere, obviously couldn't listen to it at this time.

"Your Highness Sasuke...oh, my Highness Sasuke!"

The next moment, a pink-haired girl of the same age rushed up from behind and grabbed Ino's neck.

"Stop being a nympho here, Inoboar, Sasuke is mine!"

Immediately afterwards, the two girls began to tussle privately over the issue of Sasuke's ownership, which made Shikamaru sigh more and more helplessly.

"Hey, no matter what kind of education reform, I can't save idiots and nymphos..."

As he said this, he glanced sideways in surprise. Sitting there was a graduate of the medical class who did not need to participate in this assessment, but still came to observe and study: Uzumaki Kaoru.

What surprised Shikamaru was that Kaoru did not join the battle at all today, uncharacteristically.He clearly remembered that this girl was usually one of Sasuke's support groups.

At this time, Xiang Ling seemed to notice Shikamaru's gaze, and also looked sideways, then tugged the broken hair around his ears, smiled slightly, and said: "Shikamaru-kun, are you wondering why I didn't join them?" Are you joking?"

Shikamaru didn't speak, but his expression conveyed his answer.

Kaoru looked around and confirmed that Ino, pink-haired Sakura and several other girls from Sasuke's support group had already moved to the back, then moved to Shikamaru's side, leaned closer and spoke in a low voice spoke at a high volume.

"Tell you a secret, Shikamaru-kun, I didn't really join Ino's support group because I liked Sasuke. I was just... afraid that I would become unsociable, because after all, I came from outside. I I’m not from this village, I’m... afraid that you will isolate me.”

Shikamaru didn't express anything special after hearing this.

He had used the fortune-telling skills he learned from his father Shikaku to see that Koro was not lying.

He even read a bit of Xiang Phosphorus' inner timidity and cowardice.

Her past life before coming to Konoha was probably very hard and gloomy - this is what Shikamaru quickly interpreted from Konoha's performance.

It's just that he didn't say anything.

This is not only to protect Xiang Phosphorus, but also because he... finds it troublesome.

Curiosity is a troublesome thing.

So Shikamaru just said a faint "Oh" and said nothing more.

This also made Kaoru breathe a sigh of relief, "Huh, it's much easier to say it. Can you please keep it a secret for me, Shikamaru-kun?"

"Ah."

"Thank you, Shikamaru-kun."

"You're welcome."

"Speaking of which, Shikamaru-kun, aren't you curious why I suddenly stopped acting today?"

"I'm not curious, because I've probably already guessed it."

"Hey?"

Obviously, Xiang Phosphorus completely underestimated the value of the first full score in general subjects after the education reform!
She didn't even need to speak, Shikamaru had already analyzed the answer on his own.

"Your eyes are not on Sasuke at all today, and you have been in a panic just now as if you are eager to prove your innocence. If my guess is correct, it is because the person you really admire came to the scene today, right? So you don't want to let it happen again. People have misunderstood."

"Hey?"

"Is it the one on the judges' table? I've guessed some of the reasons. It's because of the rescue a few years ago, right? We learned in the modern history of Konoha that you and the fourth generation Hokage's wife a few years ago, Tsunade-senpai and several others were trapped in the Kingdom of Thunder together, and it was that gentleman who traveled thousands of miles to the Kingdom of Thunder to rescue you, and by the way, severely injured the Raikage in that battle."

"Hey hey?"

"Am I right?"

"No...it's not...I...that...it's not...Shikamaru-kun, you...can you read minds?"

"will not."

"But then why do you know everything?"

Shikamaru reached out helplessly and nodded his head.

It’s like asking rhetorically: Don’t you have this?
