Hinata recalled the experience of going to the village twice and gave a brief introduction to the situation there.

"By the way, you can ask Uncle Lujiu about this kind of thing!"

Shikamaru said helplessly: "If Dad is willing to take care of me, I don't have to worry." ”

Hinata glanced at Shikamaru a few times, although this guy looked a little salty, but he was a person with shoulders and willing to take responsibility.

The task given to Shikamaru by the village, Shikamaru is the best he can be.

Shikamaru himself is a very responsible person, and Tsunade and Nara Shikaku also seem to have the intention of training Shikamaru, so they will hand over the matter of this joint shinobi exam to Shikamaru.

Speaking of which, now that the balance of the ninja world has been broken, Konoha doesn't care about the ranking of the joint ninja exam.

As long as Hinata is still in Konoha, it is impossible for the other four ninja villages to interfere with Konoha's interests.

What Hinata can think of, Shikamaru can naturally think of too.

Shikamaru is still a little young and vigorous in the end, and he doesn't want to see a stain on his ninja resume, and it is also a sense of responsibility that drives Shikamaru to do his duty.

Hinata retracted her gaze and said in a quiet tone: "You have really matured a lot in the past two years!" ”

Shikamaru's face was full of sorrow: "I'd rather be a child forever, it doesn't feel good to grow up!" ”

Hinata rolled her eyes, she was only fourteen years old, and Shikamaru felt like an old man who had lost her youth.

"If you and Xiao Li can complement each other, I think it's pretty good!"

Shikamaru lay on the floor with his hands behind his head, staring blankly at the ceiling, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "What about you, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

Although Hinata has spent most of the time at home studying ninjutsu in the past few months, she occasionally gets together with her friends from the same class.

Although the friendship of several Xiaoqiang has not dispersed, it may be that Hinata's heart is bigger, and Shikamaru's sensitivity can naturally detect some slight differences.

"I'm ......"

Hinata also put her hands behind her head and lay on the other side of the table.

"It's just to study ninjutsu, and by the way, learn to deal with family affairs with my father."

Shikamaru is nondeniable about this.

As early as two years ago, when Hinata and Shikamaru first teamed up to pursue Sasuke, Shikamaru sensed that Hinata seemed to be intent on letting Sasuke go.

Judging from the time, it was not a good option to capture Sasuke back to the village, and Shikamaru quickly let go of the matter.

Until some time ago, Sasuke sneaked back to Konoha to assassinate the village elder, Hinata was very suspicious at the time, and Shikamaru went to Hinata's house to inform Hinata as soon as he learned the news, and by the way, he wanted to see Hinata's reaction.

Even if it was later confirmed that the person who took Sasuke was not Hinata, but a mysterious person who had mastered the spatiotemporal ninjutsu, Shikamaru still felt that Hinata had nothing to do with it.

After all, it's a childhood friend, and during the ninja school, Hinata played the best with Shikamaru and Dingji, and Sasuke and Naruto had to stand aside!

While everyone grows, growth also goes in separate directions.

Shikamaru was really worried that his childhood friend would go astray, and in the end, the two fought against each other.

"That's it!"

Shikamaru sighed lightly, and said in a somewhat yearning tone: "Now you are a powerhouse in the world, and even the major ninja villages dare not provoke easily." When I was in ninja school, I thought you would make a name for yourself in the ninja world by eating! ”

"At that time, in addition to eating and playing, I had no heart and lungs all day long, and now I think about it and I still miss it!"

"I remember that Ding Ci also asked you for the secret of not eating fat, and you seemed to have misunderstood that Ding Ci was interesting to you......"

Hinata: "......"

We don't talk about black history, we are still good friends.

"Alas! We've all grown up! ”

Hinata exhaled, it really doesn't feel good to grow up, especially when she is drifting away from her friends, sometimes Hinata also has a feeling of loneliness.

Glancing at Shikamaru with complicated eyes, Hinata shook her head slightly.

If there is anyone among the former friends who can go down with Hinata, it is estimated that only Sasuke will be it!

It's not just the relationship of potential, but also the individual's heart.

Hinata and Shikamaru, Dingji, Ino, Sakura, Ya, and Shino see each other from time to time, but they can feel that there is a huge chasm between them.

On the contrary, he and Sasuke, although they are far away, can talk about their true thoughts without hesitation.

Even if Sasuke now has other thoughts and plans of his own, Hinata can still feel that Sasuke is his true companion.

It's this feeling that Hinata fears the most, and the reason why Hinata is reluctant to leave Konoha is because there are still good friends like Shikamaru here.

Hinata really wants to ask Shikamaru, if one day I do something to hurt Konoha, will you still see me as a friend?

It's just that this question is really hard to ask.

Both Hinata and Shikamaru stopped talking, thinking about each other's thoughts.

After all, it is a friendship for many years, and silence does not make each other feel embarrassed, but it is difficult to regain the feeling of 'understanding' at the beginning.

"Ahh

Hinata stretched and rubbed the flesh on her face to relax her expression.

"Shikamaru, it's time for me to go back."

Shikamaru struggled to get up, and said weakly, "I'll send you!" ”

At the door of Nara's house, Shikamaru looked at Hinata's distant back, and his heart was extremely complicated.

"Hinata...... What the hell are you thinking? ”

Although Hinata has not done anything to hurt Konoha so far, Shikamaru can feel that Hinata's heart is no longer in Konoha.

If it was the previous Hinata, Shikamaru didn't think Hinata would have any plans.

After all, Hinata even gave up the position of Hokage, and Ino has said more than once that Hinata is more salted than Shikamaru.

At least Shikamaru is still a little self-motivated, but Hinata is not even self-motivated, and stays at home every day to enjoy the life of the eldest lady, and almost does nothing.

But Shikamaru knows that Hinata is not doing nothing, but has been working hard to do things.

Hinata is working on ninjutsu.

No one craves power for no reason, and Shikamaru craves power too, but the reason Shikamaru craves power is to protect, and Hinata is not.

Hinata used to find all kinds of reasons to be lazy, but now she doesn't need to be supervised by others, and she will work hard to practice.

Clearly, Hinata has an ideal that she must fulfill, and that ideal has nothing to do with Konoha.

Hinata's figure slowly disappeared at the end of the field of vision, and Nara Shikahisa appeared beside Shikamaru at some point, and his eyes looked into the distance in the direction Shikamaru was looking.

Patting Shikamaru on the shoulder, Nara Shikahisa said lightly: "Everyone has their own choice, although it's right to worry about partners, it's more important to trust partners!" ”

Shikamaru looked up at Nara Shikaku, and his tone was a little stunned: "I know ......"

"But...... But I always feel that Hinata and us are getting farther and farther away! ”

Nara Lujiu was slightly surprised, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Is that so?" ”
