"There's nothing wrong with drinking and meat...... friends"

Nara Shikamaru teased half-jokingly, and Nara Shikahisa didn't take it to heart,

"You don't understand the things of adults......"

The closer you are, the more you have to pay attention to the proportions of getting along, otherwise, the seemingly indestructible friendship will become a shackle that binds each other.

Nara Shikaku sighed and rubbed Nara Shikamaru's hair:

"You, Ino and Ding Ji have passed the test smoothly, are you still dissatisfied?"

"It always feels a little wrong, but I can't say what it is......

"Can't say it, or don't you want to admit it?"

Nara Shikaku is the squad leader of Konoha Murakami's shinobi class, and his status is even higher than that of the new generation shinobi like Kakashi Hagi and Maitkai, and only the Hokage and a few advisors can make him scruple about it.

What hasn't the well-informed Nara Shikaku seen? Nara Shikamaru's little bit of caution, where can I hide?

"Admit it? You're trying to say I'm not willing to face reality......"

"Look! I haven't said anything yet, so you won't admit yourself! I'm not much worried about your clever mind, but being smart doesn't equal being smart......"

Nara Shikamaru raised the corners of his eyebrows:

"You mean, I'm just a clever idiot?"

"Clever idiot? You probably don't think much of your brain can't compare to your child, that's why you have such brainless words.

In the written exam, I was cornered by those shinobi candidates who were not as smart as you, and I could only barely pass by Ibiki's charity, so I was very unwilling and felt that my self-esteem was hurt? ”

"I don't have ......"

Nara Shikamaru still quibbled to himself, and Nara Shikahisa continued as if he hadn't heard:

"Because of incompetence, anger and then pain......"

"Say no more!"

Nara Shikamaru loudly stopped his father's merciless words,

"Please, don't say any more!"

"Think I'm going too far?"

Nara Shikaku stood up,

"It's good to be confident in your own intelligence, but don't overestimate the value of a good mind, otherwise how can there be the word "wise and foolish"? My proud son, think about it! ”

After saying that, Nara Shikaku turned around and left, leaving Nara Shikamaru alone to admire the moon.

"Is it really a very irresponsible father, who left without finishing his words, and has confidence in me like that? I think I can understand it without making it clear......"

Nara Shikamaru smiled bitterly and took out a kunai from the ninja bag,

"Am I your 'proud son' too? I feel ashamed of myself! ”

……

It's late at night, and many people who have been busy all day have already fallen asleep.

Daimaru, who was a little presumptuous during the day, was still writing something by the dim incandescent lights of the hotel.

While he was writing a book, there was a soft knock at the door.

Daimaru put down the paintbrush in his hand and cleaned up the messy desktop a little before going to open the door.

Outside the door, stood Kankuro, who was dressed in thin clothes.

After taking off his iconic puppet outfit and washing the oil paint on his face, Kankuro looked just an ordinary chubby boy.

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

Kankuro, who is plain-faced, has not seen it for several years, and if it weren't for the rare appearance of his childhood, he would almost not recognize it.

"I can't sleep a little, and I saw that the light in your room was still on, so I came over and had a look."

"I lost sleep at a young age, is it too exciting for me to borrow your books? My brother-in-law is really guilty......"

"Don't be stupid! Why haven't you rested yet, and are you still worried about what happened during the day? ”

"Not really, just preparing for tomorrow's exams......"

It's not Daimaru's habit to dwell on things that have passed,

"Come in, the door is not the place to talk!"

The hotel arranged by Konoha Village for Sand Shinobi is relatively simple, except for some ordinary furniture such as beds, desks, low stools, and dining tables, there is nothing else, and there is no breath of life at all.

Kankuro casually found a place to sit down and looked at Daimaru's desk.

"Really busy? I thought you were making excuses......"

"Making excuses? Why do you think that? ”

Daimaru poured himself a glass of cold water and took a big sip to moisten his somewhat dry throat.

"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, isn't it with a girl...... or something?"

"My brother-in-law came to catch the rape and stand up for my sister?"

"Don't open your mouth and shut up brother-in-law, brother-in-law or anything, I'm just curious to come and take a look!"

"Curious?"

Daimaru rolled his eyes, stared at Kankuro, who was a little uncomfortable, and asked with a smile,

"You haven't said why you can't sleep in the middle of the night, and you still have the heart to come to me to chat?"

"What kind of look is that? I haven't done anything unseemly, don't think about it! ”

"Understand, personal privacy, I won't inquire."

Daimaru's curiosity is not so heavy, and Kankuro has something on his mind, so he doesn't have to break the casserole to ask the end.

"Doesn't that make me more suspicious when you say that?"

Kankuro said helplessly,

"It's always a bit hard to talk to you......"

"It's because you're not good at socializing!"

"Maybe!"

Kankuro was noncommittal,

"By the way, Chi is okay, right? It doesn't look good......"

The affected Yamanaka Ino reacted so much, and it was impossible for Qiantian, who was hit positively, to be fine, but fortunately, it was an illusion performed by himself, which was more familiar and easy to remove.

"I've already let the medical ninjas of Konoha Village see it, it's no big deal, it's okay to rest for one night."

"That's good! Since there are no problems, what are you busy with now? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just prepared."

"It's always a little suspicious."

Kankuro looked at the messy scraps of paper, dirty ink, half-used sandpaper, and a few scraps of wood around his desk.

"It's not like you're making a puppet. You're not going to make a big fuss about tomorrow's exams, are you? ”

"Don't guess, I'm not stupid, where do I dare to cause trouble?"

After the written test, Daimaru was scolded by Otofu again.

Obviously, I was able to pass the test easily, but I had to be nosy, and I almost let my Airo, Kankuro and Temari team be eliminated, if it wasn't for the last moment to improvise and delay time, so that the worst thing didn't happen, Otofu's mind to kill Daimaru would have been there.

Of course, Otokaze and Maki didn't doubt Daimaru's motives for helping Kankuro, and they didn't think that Daimaru knew the importance of Iara, Kankuro, and Temari participating in this joint chunin exam, and only thought that he was desperate to curry favor with Temari.

"Anyway, thank you for this afternoon's events, otherwise, I'm in big trouble."

"Don't take it personally, I'm not here for you. If Temari is eliminated, I won't be able to show my might in the next shinobi exam......"
