After stopping the water and opening his mouth, Kakashi and Azuki, who had a relationship with Hinata Inaba, also opened their mouths to express their admiration.

"The quality of this year's students is really much better than before."

"These two little guys are very powerful, I am very moved to see them, why don't they be my apprentices? My great serpent still hasn't had a serious descendant. ”

On the other side, a few of the upper ninjas, who are representatives of the ninja clan, are relatively silent.

The more Naruto and Sasuke played, the more an indescribable feeling swelled in their hearts.

On the one hand, he lamented and was unwilling that his family's dominant position was being quickly overtaken by a group of civilians, and on the other hand, it was difficult to refuse this rapidly growing educational resource.

Because their children are still in this kind of school!

There is a very complicated mood, both sad and happy, unwilling and happy, mixed and indescribable.

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

Such a strong ninja can be cultivated only by a ninja school, such a basic education, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the ninja world, how can you stop it? What to stop?

In the end, the representative of a small ninja clan could only force a smile and bow his head to Hinata Inaba and congratulate, "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 representatives of the upper ninja and the ninja clan are invariably saying hello to Hinata Inaba who is sitting on the main seat, and some are expressing their gratitude and praise.

Sincerely, or not, at this moment, everyone present was unanimously praising another miracle created by the Hokage.

So much so that several little guys on the playground began to communicate suspiciously.

"What are those shinobi teachers doing on the rostrum? Why don't they even look like they're watching the competition? Why are their eyes looking at Hokage-sama? ”

Shikamaru, who was surrounded by this class of graduates, glanced at it lightly, and quickly revealed the truth.

"If there is the strongest in the same class among the graduates, they will pay attention to that child, but if there is the strongest in the history of the graduates, they will naturally pay more attention to the principal."

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

It's just that this doesn't prevent him from being able to see through the key to things at a glance most of the time.

So the classmates around him are very convinced of his judgment.

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

"You're saying Sasuke is the strongest ever? Oh, my God! Is His Highness Sasuke so powerful? My Highness Sasuke, you are indeed the best! ”

Shikamaru's eyes became more and more blank.

He felt that Ino had completely failed to grasp the point of his words.

But forget it, he didn't want to argue with Ino about this kind of thing because he was afraid of trouble, so he simply followed Ino's words and said: "If you only consider the time node of ninja school graduation, then it is really no problem to call it the strongest in history, but in the past, many famous ninjas graduated much younger than us." ”

This is already a euphemistic reminder to Ino that we just graduated late, and we are not really invincible at the same age.

It's a pity that Ino, who fell into the atmosphere of pink peach blossoms, obviously couldn't listen to it at this time.

"His Highness Sasuke...... Oh, my Highness Sasuke! ”

The next moment, a pink-haired girl of the same age pounced on her from behind and strangled Ino's neck.

"Don't be a nymphomaniac here, Ino boar, Sasuke is mine!"

Immediately after that, the two girls began to scuffle together privately over the issue of Sasuke's ownership, which made Shikamaru sigh more and more godlessly.

"Hey, no matter what kind of education reform can't save stupid people and nymphomaniacs......"

Saying that, he glanced sideways with some surprise, and there was a medical class graduate who didn't need to take this assessment, but still came to observe and study: Uzumaki Xiangpho.

Shikamaru was more surprised that today, Xiang Phosphorus was uncharacteristically and did not join the battle at all.

He clearly remembered that this girl was usually one of Sasuke's support group.

At this time, Xiang Phosphorus seemed to notice Shikamaru's gaze, and also looked sideways, then brushed the broken hair in his ear, smiled slightly, and said, "Shikamaru-kun, are you wondering why I didn't join in the fight with them?" ”

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

Kaori looked around and made sure that Ino, pink-haired Sakura, and a few other girls from Sasuke's support group had already made a fuss in the back, so she moved to Shikamaru's side and leaned closer to speak in a low voice.

"Let me tell you a secret, Shikamaru-kun, I didn't really join Ino because I liked Sasuke, I just ...... I'm afraid that I'll become unsociable, because I'm from outside after all, I'm not from this village, I'm ...... I'm afraid you'll isolate me. ”

Shikamaru didn't say anything special when he heard it.

He used the technique of physiognomy he learned from his father Lu Jiu to see that Xiang Phosphorus was not lying.

Even he read a little bit of the cowardice and cowardice in his heart.

Her life before coming to Konoha was probably hard and bleak in the past—something Shikamaru quickly deciphered from Kao-pho's performance.

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

This is both to protect the phosphine and because he ...... It's troublesome.

Curiosity is a nuisance.

So Shikamaru just let out a faint "oh" and didn't say anything more.

This also made Xiang Phosphorus breathe a sigh of relief, "Whew, it's much easier to say it, can you please help me keep it secret, Shikamaru-kun?" ”

"Hmm."

"Thank you, Shikamaru-kun."

"You're welcome."

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

"Not curious, because I guessed it already."

"Huh?"

Obviously, Xiang Phosphorus completely underestimated the gold content of the first full score in all subjects after the education reform!

She didn't need to open her mouth at all, Shikamaru had already analyzed the answer by herself.

"Your eyes are completely off Sasuke today, and there has been a panic just now, as if you are eager to prove your innocence. If my guess is correct, it's because the person you're really looking forward to is here today, right? So you don't want to be misunderstood. ”

"Huh?"

"It's the one on the judges' bench, right? I've guessed some of the reasons, is it because of the rescue a few years ago? As we've learned in the modern history of Konoha, a few years ago, you and the wives of the four generations of Hokage, as well as Tsunade's predecessors, were lost in the Land of Thunder, and it was the Lord who traveled thousands of miles to rescue you from the Land of Thunder, and by the way, he severely damaged the Thunder Shadow in that battle. ”

"Ouch, huh?"

"Am I not right?"

"No...... No...... I...... That one...... Nor is it ...... Shikamaru-kun, you ...... Do you know how to read minds? ”

"No, it won't."

"But why do you know everything?"

Shikamaru reluctantly reached out and nodded his head.

It's like asking rhetorically: don't you have this?
