Hinata recalled her experiences of going to Sand Village twice and briefly introduced the situation there.

"By the way, you can ask Uncle Lu Jiu for advice on this kind of thing!"

Shikamaru said helplessly: "If my dad is willing to care about me, I won't have to worry."

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

Shikamaru did the best possible tasks assigned to Shikamaru by the village.

Shikamaru himself is a very responsible person. Tsunade and Nara Kazuku seem to be interested in exercising Shikamaru, so he will leave Shikamaru to take charge of this joint Zhongnin exam.

Speaking of which, the balance situation in the ninja world has been broken, and Konoha doesn't care about the ranking of the joint Zhongnin exam.

As long as Hinata is still in Konoha, it will be impossible for the other four ninja villages, and they will not dare to interfere in Konoha's interests.

Shikamaru can naturally think of things that Hinata can think of.

Shikamaru is still a little young and energetic after all, and does not want to see stains on his ninja resume. At the same time, he is also responsible that drives Shikamaru to do his duty.

Hinata withdrew her gaze and said in a quiet tone: "You have been much more mature in the past two years!"

Shikamaru was full of sorrow: "I would rather be a child forever, but I don't feel good about growing up!"

Hinata rolled her eyes. She was only fourteen years old. Shikamaru was like an old man and sighed at her lost youth.

"If you and Xiao Li can complement each other, I think it will be quite good!"

Shikamaru lay on the floor with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling with his eyes blankly, and asked inadvertently: "What about you, what have you been busy with recently?"

Although Hinata spends most of the time staying at home to study ninjutsu, she occasionally gathers with her friends from the same class.

Although the friendship between the few Xiaoqiang has not yet disbanded, perhaps Hinata's heart is getting bigger. With Shikamaru's sensitivity, he can naturally detect some slight differences.

"I..."

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

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

Shikamaru cannot deny this.

As early as two years ago, when Hinata and Shikamaru collaborated to pursue Sasuke for the first time, Shikamaru realized that Hinata seemed to be intentional about letting Sasuke go.

From the time of the time, capturing Sasuke back to the village was not a good choice, and Shikamaru quickly let go of that matter.

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

Even though it was later confirmed that the person who came to Sasuke was not Hinata, but a mysterious person who mastered the time space ninjutsu, Shikamaru still felt that Hinata had nothing to do with this matter.

After all, they were childhood friends. During the Ninja School, Hinata and Shikamaru and Dingji played the best, and Sasuke and Naruto both had to stand aside!

Although everyone will grow, growth is also divided into directions.

Shikamaru was really worried that her childhood friends would go astray, and in the end the two of them fought each other.

"That's how it works!"

Shikamaru sighed lightly and said in a somewhat yearning tone: "Now you are a strong man in the Mingjin Ninja Realm. Even major ninja villages dare not provoke him easily. When I was in the Ninja School, I thought you would become famous by 'eating' in the ninja world!"

"At that time, I was just eating and playing, and I was heartless all day long. Now I think about it and still miss it a little!"

"I remember Ding Ci asked you about the secret to not be fat. You seemed to misunderstand that Ding Ci was interested in you..."

Hinata: "…"

We are still good friends if we don’t talk about dark history.

"Oh! We've all grown up!"

Hinata let out a long sigh. It didn't feel good when she grew up, especially when she was getting farther away from her friends at the time. Sometimes Hinata would feel lonely.

He looked at Shikamaru with complicated eyes, and Hinata shook her head slightly.

If anyone among my former friends could go on with Hinata, it would probably be Sasuke!

It is not just a relationship of potential, but also a personal mind.

Although Hinata, Shikamaru, Dingji, Ino, Sakura, Ya, Shino and others often meet each other, they can feel a huge gap between them.

On the contrary, although they are far apart from Sasuke, they can talk about their true thoughts without any hesitation.

Even though Sasuke now has other thoughts and his own plan, Hinata can still feel that Sasuke is his true companion.

What Hinata is most afraid of is this feeling. The reason why Hinata is reluctant to leave Konoha is because there are good friends like Shikamaru here.

Hinata really wants to ask Shikamaru, if one day I did something to hurt Konoha, would you still regard me as a friend?

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

Hinata and Shikamaru stopped talking, thinking about their own thoughts.

After all, it is years of friendship, and silence will not embarrass each other, but it is difficult to regain the feeling of "understanding" at the beginning.

"ah--"

Hinata stretched, rubbed the flesh on her face and relaxed her expression.

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

Shikamaru struggled to get up and said weakly: "I'll give you it!"

At the door of Nara's house, Shikamaru looked at Hinata's back as she was leaving, and her heart was extremely complicated.

"Hyuta...what are you thinking about?"

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

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

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

At least Shikamaru is a little motivated, but Hinata doesn't even motivated. She stays at home and enjoys the life of a young lady every day, and does almost nothing.

But Shikamaru knew that Hinata did not do nothing, but was always working hard.

Hinata's efforts are to study ninjutsu.

No one will desire power for no reason, and Shikamaru also desires power, but the reason why Shikamaru desires power is for protection, but Hinata is not.

Hinata used to find various reasons to be lazy, but now she doesn't need to be urged by others and she will work hard to practice.

Obviously, Hinata has an ideal that she must accomplish, and this ideal has nothing to do with Konoha.

Hinata's figure slowly disappeared from the end of her vision. Nara Kazuku appeared next to Shikamaru at some point, looking into the distance in the direction Shikamaru looked.

After patting Shikamaru on the shoulder, Nara Kazuku said lightly: "Everyone has his own choice. Although it is right to worry about his partner, what is more important is to trust his partner!"

Shikamaru looked up at Nara Kazuku, his tone was a little lost: "I know..."

"But...but I always feel that the distance between Hinata and us seems to be getting farther and farther away!"

Nara Kazuku was slightly surprised and said inexplicably: "Is that true?"
