My father always thought that I would definitely become a ninja.

In fact, I followed his expectations and took the path of a ninja. But in fact, I felt that if I didn't become a ninja,

It would be troublesome.

Not only would I have to face my parents' nagging every day,

But I would also have to engage in a profession other than ninja,

And it would be inconvenient,

I needed to do a lot of preparations by myself. It was too troublesome.

When I went to school,

His parents heaved a sigh of relief.

My purpose in life was to live a leisurely and peaceful life. But when I went to school, I found that it was not as simple as I thought.

First of all, there were three troublesome people in our class. The most troublesome one was Naruto Uzumaki. He liked to play boring pranks. In order to avoid trouble, I kept my distance from him.

Then, Sasuke Uchiha was as powerful as Naruto Uzumaki. Every time he appeared, he was surrounded by a group of girls, and they quarreled because of him.

It was really troublesome.

The last one,

Most people probably didn't expect it.

It was Saiki. She was the most standard student in this class.

She was never late and did her homework on time.

Her written test results were always above average.

Ninjutsu and taijutsu could only be considered good.

She was gentle and cheerful.

Such people were generally inconspicuous in the class, but most people had an impression of her.

。

But in fact, that was not the case at all. Saiki was actually the crush of many adolescent boys.

Because she had a good appearance.

And in some ways,

She was very mature and not like other girls. She was also very friendly to people.

If that was the case, Shikamaru would not have avoided her and kept his distance from her.

Saiki was actually a very strange person. When she first entered the school, she showed a very excellent physical talent. At that time, she could almost beat the students in the same class. But she gradually became ordinary, which was really strange and thought-provoking.

And she clearly showed a clear mind when she taught Naruto homework in private. She clearly had a good understanding of various book problems, but her grades in every homework and exam were not ideal. She could only barely be considered above average.

Shikamaru also deliberately acted ordinary. He had his own reasons for why he did this. But for Saiki, Shikamaru was a little uncertain.

。

And in the past semester, Shikamaru often found that Saiki was staring at him with excitement and adoration in her eyes. This made Shikamaru's hair stand on end, because he didn't know what about him attracted her …

And he could always see Planet Saiki — whether it was when he was eating lunch behind the school, when he was shopping for his mother, or when he was eating ramen outside. Even in the body technique class, Planet Saiki would appear diagonally opposite him four out of ten times.

If it were other boys, such as Sasuke, he would have good reason to suspect that Saiki had special feelings for him.

But even if Shikamaru told others about this conjecture, no one would believe him, because Planet Saiki's concealment work was too good. Every time they coincidentally met, Planet Saiki had an unusually reasonable reason.

And Shikamaru didn't believe it either — although his father had joked about him being an emotional idiot more than once, he could clearly feel that Planet Saiki's attitude toward him was not the so-called love.

From Planet Saiki's eyes, he could clearly read two words — adoration?!

Although he didn't know what happened, it was true.

。

。

Actually, this wasn't a big deal because she had never had any direct contact with him.

In fact, it was his father who made him unusually vigilant about Saiki — she decided to be different from her usual ordinary persona.

He still remembered that last year, Planet Saiki did not come to school for a few days. It was not a special thing — Ms. Iruca said it was because something happened at home — but Ms. Iruca's expression clearly told Shikamaru that this was not the case at all.

When he came home, he seemed to have heard his father and mother talking about something when he entered the door, but he didn't care. But when he was taking off his shoes, he heard his father mention Planet Saiki, which made him feel that something was wrong.

Why did his father care so much about Planet Saiki?

Shikamaru thought it was troublesome at the time, and he didn't want to know.

。

。

。

But this year, Planet Saiki appeared in their house again.

"Shikamaru," Nara Lu Jiu seemed to mention this topic inadvertently. He put down his bowl and chopsticks without leaving a trace. "How are you getting along with your classmates at school recently?"

Shikamaru raised his head and looked at him strangely. "Dad, when did you care so much about this?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Nara Lu Jiu looked at Shikamaru. "You know Planet Saiki — are you familiar with her?"

Shikamaru raised his head and looked at his father in surprise. "Planet Saiki?"

Shikamaru thought for a while and didn't tell him about Planet Saiki's strange behavior. "We're not very familiar with each other."

Lu Jiu seemed a little disappointed, but it was reasonable. "That's true.

But do you know — the Saiki clothing store and the Uchiha Clan have signed a contract to cooperate and are ready to enter the market of other countries.

I didn't expect you to have such a good classmate — "

Shikamaru scratched his head. "Dad, don't say anymore. It's not like you don't know me. I'm not interested in anything.

I'm going to train. "

Lu Jiu looked at Shikamaru's leaving figure thoughtfully.

。

。

。

Planet Saiki's behavior didn't bring too much trouble to Shikamaru's life. Shikamaru didn't care too much about it.

But now they were about to graduate.

The upcoming ninja life made Shikamaru feel very troublesome.

As for the division of classes, Shikamaru didn't think too much about it. He must belong to the Ino-Shika-Cho combination, which has always been the classic combination of the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans.

Although Shikamaru would like to be in the same group as Shino and Hinata, the two of them were famous for being quiet and very reliable in the class. Such a combination would be very convenient.

Although he felt that the future would be troublesome, he was actually looking forward to it, hoping to find something interesting in those missions.

。

。

。

。

Although Shikamaru didn't know his classmates very well, he was quite familiar with them. A total of ten people graduated successfully this year.

Among these ten people, the one that surprised Shikamaru the most was Naruto Uzumaki.

Although Naruto Uzumaki's taijutsu has been greatly improved through hard work, unfortunately, he still failed the test for Ninjutsu for some reason, which made him very depressed. But Shikamaru wasn't surprised.

But he still graduated?!

Old Man told him that it was because Naruto learned an S-class ninjutsu. Although the process was very complicated and difficult to describe, it was understandable, and this ninjutsu was also a transformation technique, so Naruto passed.

In recent days, Old Man and Old Man talked about Saiki's family more and more frequently, but this time it wasn't about Planet Saiki, but about her cousin Nanko Saiki.

It was said that because Konoha didn't know about it, she had already expanded the business scope of Hoshi's clothing store, and already had a good reputation in the high social circles of other countries.

This was incredible, and according to the known information, Kazuo Saiki, Saiki, Nanko Saiki has been staying in Konoha Village, and people in other countries said that the person in charge of the branch business was under Konoha's headquarters, and the person in charge was Nanko Saiki.

In this way, the Saiki clan's outside influence suddenly increased Konoha's attention to them, and what was even more surprising was that most of the known Saiki clan didn't participate in the related clothing industry chain. Suddenly, the three Saiki people in Konoha became the focus of attention of Konoha's higher-ups.

。

。

。

The day when the results of the class division came out, it was reasonable and unexpected.

Originally, besides Saiki, Shikamaru also had a rough idea of how the nine people would form a three-person team.

But he was a little surprised that Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura, and Saiki were in the same group.

Sakura's grades were better, and she was in the same group as Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. According to Iruca -sensei, it was a combination of strength, but what was the situation with Saiki …

Although she was quite capable, was it really a good idea to be in such a complicated four-person team? Naruto had always been the focus of the Anbu; the young master of the Uchiha Clan was also the focus of protection; and Saiki was also the key character that made Konoha nervous.

And the relationship between these people was extremely complicated. If he guessed correctly, Naruto Uzumaki had a good impression of Sakura, Sakura had a good impression of Sasuke, and Sasuke probably had a good impression of Saiki. And the scariest thing was that Saiki had a strange good impression of him.

What kind of sensei could control such a situation?

。

。

。

Previously, Sakura was especially worried about Naruto Uzumaki. As her eldest disciple, she waited anxiously for Naruto after the exam. In the end, she accompanied Naruto in special training for so long, but he still failed because of nervousness.

Naruto was so upset that day that he didn't even want to go when she invited him to ramen.

Although she didn't know what happened later, he learned the Shadow Clone Technique and was finally recognized by Iruca -sensei, so he successfully graduated.

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

But she was also a little sad — because her plan to make friends with Shikamaru failed.

She had asked Sakura how to become friends with a boy, but she still failed.

At that time, Sakura was very nervous when she asked who it was, which surprised her.

But Sakura was obviously relieved when she heard that it was Shikamaru.

She was also quite disappointed that she wasn't in the same group as Shikamaru this time. Instead, she was in the same group as Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke. All the members of Qingyun Gate were in the same group. This way, it would be more convenient to organize activities in the future, and there would be more benefits.

But she was late at that time. She didn't know what happened between Naruto and Sasuke. As soon as she arrived, the two of them confronted each other fiercely. Their relationship, which wasn't good before, became worse.

There was still a long way to go before Qingyun Gate could be united …
