Just as Naruto continued to guide the exploration with his own perception, and the fireballs that appeared from time to time pointed out the direction, he led everyone to deliberately "contradict" the direction of the guide sign, and once again embarked on the opposite "wrong" path, while intentionally or unintentionally speeding up his pace and moving forward quickly. Let's move back a little bit and look at the conversation between Shikamaru and Naruto that no one knows about it except Hinata before Naruto convinces Shikamaru and his party to continue marching for the exam......

What happened in the process...... Will it make Naruto look so dignified and nervous now, as if he is facing a great enemy?

……

Fifteen minutes ago.

……

"Speaking of which, the effect of this ninjutsu looks like I've seen it many times somewhere...... Yes! That's right! I know! That's supposed to be the Howe Fireball Technique! However, the difficulty of this ninjutsu is as high as C-level...... To be able to learn it and release a huge fireball of this magnitude, that person is probably a middle ninja, right? ”

Maybe it's because I've seen it a few times, so my impression has become clearer. After pondering for a while, Shikamaru not only really exclaimed the name of the ninjutsu represented by the orange-red fireball, but also estimated the strength of the caster, and compared with each other, it can be said that the result is almost exactly the same as Naruto's conjecture.

"Huh? You've got a lot of knowledge, Shikamaru ......."

At the same time as hearing Shikamaru's words, Naruto couldn't help but respond in surprise because of the detailed understanding of the fireball technique around him—not only could he accurately identify the name of ninjutsu, but also knew its difficulty positioning, and thus further guessed the strength of the caster.

But soon, Naruto sensed why.

Although Naruto's first encounter with the Hoi Fireball Jutsu was due to the detailed description on the cultivation scroll that Sasuke brought from the Uchiha clan, it was the most common and universal fire escape ninjutsu among the Uchiha clan...... But this does not mean that the technique of the Howe Fireball is the patent of the Uchiha clan. On the contrary, because of the characteristics of how many chakras are infused into the Hao Fireball Technique, the lethality can be increased proportionally, and the learning difficulty is only at the point where the C level is not high or low, so that the Hao Fireball Technique is more and more cost-effective compared with other Fire Escape Ninjutsu, and it has become quite good, which has become a unique and attractive advantage, so that it can be spread more generally.

Thinking about it this way, for Shikamaru, who is a rising star in the new generation of the Nara clan, with the help of his family's power background, it is indeed not uncommon to obtain detailed information about ninjutsu that is not unique to a certain family through some channel. After all, even in terms of ability and nature, no matter how close it is to the support role. The Nara clan is also one of the oldest families in the Kiye Ninja Village, which is too rich to ignore...... Not to mention that it is often

"Indeed, judging from the previous performance, the caster pinched the timing of the explosion of the fireball in the air, so that the fireball could fall directly in the air and disappear into nothingness, without affecting anything on the ground...... From here, it is enough to see that the caster has quite precise control. ”

Thinking of this, the look of surprise and surprise on Naruto's face slowly subsided, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose in approval, and he nodded with a smile in response to the correctness of Shikamaru's conjecture, while sorting out his thoughts a little and talking eloquently.

"From this, it can be inferred that the caster has either reached the strength of the middle ninja, or he has learned and mastered this powerful fireball technique quite proficiently."

"That's, after all, my stinky dad always forces me to learn this and that, and it's hard to know if you don't know......"

Lazily shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and while responding lightly, Shikamaru gradually grew his mouth in the next remarks. After a slight pause, he tried to hold back a smile and straighten his face, while constantly scanning Naruto up and down, and then pretended to be serious, because of the increasingly familiar relationship with Naruto, and dared to tease Naruto.

"Huh? I can't see that you have a pretty thorough understanding of the Howe Fireball Jutsu, Naruto...... It should be said that you really deserve to be a 'young' examiner? Looking at it this way, you should be very good at fire-attribute ninjutsu, right? “”

"Hmph, that's okay, but it's a pity that the type of ninjutsu I'm best at is still Wind Escape~ It's just because of this fireball technique, but it's the first ninjutsu I taught Sasuke ......"

“…… Staring—"

“…… Uh-a-a-ha, haha-ha, babble...... I...... I just said that this 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 Naruto's eyes moved under the instinct that gradually became a habit, and he unintentionally skimmed the slightly strange vigilant gaze of the person in his arms, Naruto suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness, and then subconsciously, regardless of the reluctance of the meaning of the sentence, after coughing a few times and forcibly interrupting it, he smiled awkwardly and hurriedly changed his words.

"As long as you've seen a lot in the past, and you can know so clearly, it's natural to take it for granted, isn't it?"

"Whew, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay to change my words in time, and I didn't get ...... Well? Wait a minute, it looks like something is wrong...... Me and Sasuke, it seems...... They're all boys, aren'......? 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 his previous well-behaved and peaceful appearance, which couldn't help but ease Naruto's unexplained feeling of weakness...... But soon he realized that something was wrong, and the corners of his mouth twitched and trembled, and he turned into a beanie in his heart, holding his head and complaining sadly.

"If you think about it...... Since I'm not hiding it from Hinata, I'm going to get too close to other girls and have an affair...... So what am I doing here? That's weird, hey!! ”

"Really? Suspicious...... Hawkers, forget it, leave this alone for now...... According to what you said, there should be no possibility for this person who frequently releases fireballs to practice ninjutsu - and even if he wants to practice, this kind of fire-based escape technique that can easily cause accidental injuries should be practiced in a training ground far away from people, or in an area with abundant water - if you think about it, this move is more like a deliberate release into the sky for some purpose......"

Regarding Naruto's tangled and annoyed appearance unintentionally exposed, Shikamaru groaned, just thinking that Naruto didn't want to tell too much of 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 and lazily held his head, and continued to speak casually as if he were deliberately clichéd.

"Look, it's another shot, and the interval seems to be getting shorter and shorter...... Could it be, you really arranged this person, right? ”

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

"That's true, but if you didn't arrange it...... I can't think of any reason why someone else would do it. ”

Without waiting for Naruto to refute, Shikamaru continued as he began. With a flick of his fingers, as if trying to see Naruto through completely, his dark and bright eyes full of curiosity were firmly fixed on Naruto from beginning to end.

"After all, from the beginning to the present, the angle of the fireball has been fixed from beginning to end, indicating that the person has not moved at all during this time. And the practice of spitting into the air can neither hurt people nor have any lethality...... Except for being an eye-catching 'firework', it's just useless work. ”

"So what, it has nothing to do with me anyway...... Maybe anyone has such a strange hobby of sensationalism, and likes to breathe fire everywhere......"

As he spoke, Naruto quickly filtered through the list of invigilators in his mind. After confirming that no one meets the ability and "hobby" of this continuous and long-lasting release of the fireball, he felt more and more innocent, and was about to refute and resist the "back pot" when he was stimulated by a word that Shikamaru had unintentionally mentioned before, and he stiffened and froze in place.

"Wait...... Catch someone’s eye...... It won't ......"

Suspicious, Naruto probed his mental perception in the direction of the orange fireball that had just risen and exploded again, and then in this blazing air, he sensed the familiar aura that verified his conjecture without knowing whether to cry or laugh, and couldn't help but cry and wail in his heart.

"? Really?! I'll just say why does that look so familiar...... The fireball that the emotion just used as a 'firework' is all Sasuke's handiwork!! ”

After a pause and silence for a long time, the confusion in his heart suddenly cleared up, and at the same time, Naruto turned his head a little bit as if he were mechanical, and looked at Shikamaru with a strange expression, and there was a faint hint of horror in his voice.

"Now, Shikamaru...... After I started the treatment for Ding Ci, how many times did this fireball appear? ”

"Huh? strange

Blame...... Why did you suddenly remember to ask this? ”

After raising his eyebrows in confusion, seeing that Naruto did not answer the thought at all, but frowned, and the look on his face became more and more anxious and strange, Shikamaru also became solemn and serious because he was vaguely infected by the tense atmosphere of the inexplicable upheaval on Naruto's body. After a slight pause, he didn't hesitate too long, and while carefully recalling the reckoning in his mind, he looked up at the orange fireball that had reappeared, and continued word by word.

"Let me think about it, it's like it's six...... Ay? It's really getting more and more diligent, and it's actually another shot...... Counting this one, it should be the seventh time......"

“…… It's over, it's been so many times...... I remember that in the previous record, it was only released twice...... That time alone was already a long time of coaxing and barely coaxing, but this time it actually used seven rounds...... I'm afraid my life is at ...... end today."

Even though he had already expected the outcome, when he heard Shikamaru's heart-wrenching cold answer without knowing it, Naruto still couldn't help but show a loveless look, and then the blood on his face faded and he looked pale and weak, and muttered crazy thoughts in a low voice.

"Let's not talk about whether the little guy will cry because of this...... Right now, the frequency of the release of this fireball is about to catch up with the non-stop burst mode...... That kid is obviously about to endure to the limit, and he may go berserk at any time......"

Between the words, Naruto's mind was filled with the helpless but distressed appearance of a small fan lying on the ground and crying, but Naruto's heart became more and more frightened by another possibility.

"No, no, no, now is not the time to worry about that...... If I had gone one more night, I'd have to go straight to my mom and dad...... Or, in my experience, as long as there are no surprises during this period...... Even if I rush over now, and be directly made into a live roasted Uzumaki Naruto by that little guy with a fireball, and then with the smell of barbecue all over my body, the possibility of being sent to reunite with my parents doesn't seem small?! ”

"Hey, Naruto? Naruto? You okay? 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 a pause in his doubts, he simply thought that Naruto was exhausted from the previous efforts to recover and heal his group, so that now he couldn't hold on and showed fatigue. I couldn't help but say to myself with gratitude in my heart.

"It seems that the burden of healing three people in one breath is really not light, and they are all so tired that they are mentally abnormal...... Obviously, I am already so distressed and uncomfortable, but I can still help me answer my questions...... Naruto, this guy is really a guy with a knife mouth and a tofu heart......"

With each other, what they think and know is in a state of bull's head not the horse's mouth, which invisibly makes Shikamaru more and more grateful and admired Naruto's opinion...... It was precisely because of this unintentional misunderstanding that Shikamaru and Naruto's hearts suddenly had two diametrically opposed and rather comical thoughts.

"The reason why I have become the way I am now must be because of excessive consumption, and at the same time, I am worried that I will not be able to continue to supervise this exam......

"Hmm...... Let me think...... If I take these three little guys together to be witnesses, it will prove that I didn't deliberately neglect to forget him......"

"If you think about it."

"If you think about it."

"It's nice to be able to make friends like Naruto who is so dedicated......"

"When the time comes, will I be able to die a little more decently?"

……

The timeline moves backwards to the present......

Just when Naruto, who was in deep despair and panic, followed the guidance of the fireball technique that frequently exploded in the air of the small fan, while constantly probing along the road to find the breath of the small fan, he hurriedly approached quickly, on the other hand, ......

The small group of fans, which was already angry, was disturbed by some uninvited guests who did not know the current affairs......

Or, should I say......
