NABC Chapter 60 You Really Need My Love
Chapter 60 You Really Need My Love
"No! Stop! Ino!"
After being ambushed and punched away, Shikamaru hugged the book in his arms and begged Ino for mercy.
"Shikamaru, I never expected you, who are usually so serious, to be this kind of person!"
Not only did they forget to save me, but they're also here reading this kind of vulgar book.
"I'll tell your dad after the exam today!"
Ino gritted her teeth, punched her palm, and barely suppressed her anger.
She knew the Chunin Exams were coming up, and she couldn't afford to beat Shikamaru to the point of incapacitating him.
"Oh, Ino, you've misunderstood. Actually, it was just now..."
Shikamaru covered his swollen face, got up from the ground, and briefly recounted what Bai Mo had just told him.
"What? Preventing beautiful women from falling in love with you? Shikamaru, I never knew you had narcissistic tendencies?"
If it were Sasuke, or that Rain Ninja from earlier, saying something like that would be one thing, but do you even have the right to say that?
Ino was speechless for a moment after hearing half of it.
"This isn't a question of whether I'm qualified or not. It's like the Sand Ninja Exam suddenly killing me with a kunai mid-exam. That's a low-probability event, but it's not impossible. What I want to prevent is the occurrence of such low-probability events."
"don't know."
"..."
Shikamaru felt helpless; sometimes, being too smart for one's age isn't a good thing.
"According to what you just said, Shikamaru, that person was talking to you the whole time without showing any unusual behavior?"
Ino asked with a serious expression.
"That's right, what happened? Oh, by the way, Ino, your Mind Transfer Jutsu failed just now, are you alright?"
"..."
Ino was speechless again.
I only remembered to ask her if she was hurt now. What kind of person is this who worries about whether a girl might suddenly fall in love with him?
However, Shikamaru's affirmative answer made Ino's expression turn serious: "He speaks to you normally outside, which means that he broke my Mind Transfer Technique and imprisoned me in my consciousness simply by relying on the power and control of his subconscious mind."
"Are you worried that he possesses a secret technique specifically designed to counter the mountain clan? I think you're overthinking it. He's probably just powerful. Remember his warning to you?"
Shikamaru's words reminded Ino that he had warned her not to intervene, but she had insisted on going in anyway.
"How is that possible? So young..."
"I heard that Kakashi-sensei was already a Jonin when he was twelve years old."
"..."
Ino rolled her eyes.
Okay, all her excuses for her failure were refuted. So, she's just bad at the game, alright?
How can I improve my strength?
Ino sighed and prepared to turn and leave.
"Oh right, just a heads up, you'd better cover up the book cover, it's kind of disgusting."
Ino gave Shikamaru a reminder before she left.
"Cover?"
Shikamaru picked up the book and glanced at it.
The cover features two muscular men. What's wrong with that?
Uh.
The more Shikamaru looked at it, the stranger it seemed.
It seems there is indeed a problem.
After staring at the cover for a while, Shikamaru quickly flipped through the book and soon got the answer.
"Thank you so much, Ino!"
Shikamaru slapped his thigh and a smile crept onto his face.
Ino's earlier comment of "disgusting" made Shikamaru realize a crucial issue he had overlooked—his teammate Ino is also a girl!
Her feelings are very valuable for reference.
She found the cover disgusting. Why did she find it disgusting?
Once he extracts the key elements, he will obtain the key to an ordinary life!
Now, he's found it!
This is it!
-
Half an hour later, the audience gradually returned to their seats.
The second match begins.
Temari, holding a huge iron fan, was already waiting on the field.
"There's still a stench going on. Konoha is disgusting."
Temari waved her hand dismissively, then looked at Shikamaru who had jumped down from the opposite side. "Konoha, I advise you to forfeit. Don't let me beat you to a pulp and then have to trouble your Hokage to clean up the mess."
The Sand Village's objective is the Konoha Crush plan, and Kankuro decides to abstain later in order to avoid revealing information about the puppets.
For the sake of Sunagakure's reputation, Temari felt it necessary to make Konoha lose face in their hands first.
As soon as Shikamaru entered the arena, he gasped upon hearing Temari's speech.
Why is it another female Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Moreover, this female Tyrannosaurus Rex looked even fiercer than the ones in his class, just like his mother.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance.
"I can abstain, but I hope you can do me a favor."
Shikamaru took out a letter from his ninja tool pouch and walked over while talking.
"What is it?"
Temari frowned as she accepted Shikamaru's letter.
I wondered if it was some kind of love letter?
perfect.
Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person take the letter and start reading it.
His method is most vulnerable to opponents who are single-minded like Naruto, who rush in and fight without giving him any chance.
It seems there are no problems now.
Moreover, judging from the other party's behavior just now, they are clearly quite concerned about their image, so there's no need to worry about the contents of the letter being made public.
perfect!
"..."
Temari looked at the contents of the letter in her hand, and her hand gradually began to tremble.
She ignored the urging from the audience to start the fight.
The letter was addressed to Ero.
The other party handed it to her, clearly wanting her to pass it on.
Just the specific details...
At first, he praised Gaara as the gourd prince of Sunagakure, cold, powerful, and handsome.
This is somewhat normal.
Further on, a melancholy gaze conceals a heartbreaking past.
Even if there's a wall in your heart, my love will climb up to the windowsill and bloom.
I want Gaara to fill every void in my body with sand, so I can feel Gaara's sorrow.
Temari sensed something was wrong.
But at the end of the letter, it read, "I want to become your friend and build a friendship in Konoha."
Is this the friendship of Konoha?
That's a bit perverted.
Temari was a little scared. If their Konoha collapse plan failed, would Gaara be used as a reward for the army?
This letter absolutely must not be given to Gaara. If he sees it, Shukaku might unleash its power prematurely.
Temari took a pen out of her pocket, wrote a few lines on the back of the letter, stuffed it back into the envelope, snorted, and tossed it back to Shikamaru.
"what?"
Shikamaru caught the letter and paused for a moment.
What happened?
It's not what I expected.
Why is there a reply?
Did he misuse those lines from "The Ultimate Guide to Fighting Men"?
With a worried look in his eyes, Shikamaru slowly took the letter out of the envelope.
The first line read, "It seems you really need my love," and Shikamaru felt his heart stop.
No way?
Did it fail?
Mustering his courage, Shikamaru continued to retrieve the letter intact.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, revealing an expression of relief at surviving a close call.
So it turns out—"It seems you really need Gaara to use a sandstorm to send your horse to its grave."
"Die, you Konoha pervert! Wind Release: Kamaitachi!"
Temari, the hot-tempered younger sister from Sunagakure, opened her fan and unleashed a gust of wind at Shikamaru.
With a relaxed and happy expression, Shikamaru was blown into the air and then landed on the ground.
