Naruto: First Love

Chapter 83 Nara's Mother's Speculation

Kakashi was slightly delighted when he heard that. Looking at Huo Wu, he had the urge to hug her. Fortunately, Kakashi had been single for many years and had strong self-control, so he managed to control himself.

"Forget it. I believe you. The members of Team 7 will not do anything to make me sad."

Huo Wu was about to regret what she had just said when she heard Kakashi's words. She immediately thought of Sasuke's defection not long after.

"Hey, Kakashi, do you believe in me or in Team 7's Huo Mai?"

"What's your question? Aren't you Huo Wu from Team 7?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes, like a fox, luring Huo Wu into a trap.

"Of course I am Huo Wu from Class 7, but there has to be a sequence. Do you think you believe me because I am who I am, or do you believe me because I am a member of Class 7 and your student?"

Huo Wu is very concerned about this issue.

Kakashi was a little confused. What on earth was she arguing about? Was she competing with herself? Obviously, they were all hers.

"Hmm...how should I put it, this question is too profound, I don't understand it." Kakashi wisely chose to play dumb.

Huo Wu curled her lips, showing disdain for his perfunctory attitude.

"If you believe it because I'm a member of Team 7, then that means you believe the other members of Team 7 as well. After all, they all passed your Genin exams, right?"

Kakashi nodded, "It was a long time ago."

"But I didn't actually participate in the Genin exam for Team 7. You see, you never let me pass the Genin exam even though I graduated so many times. Grandpa Sandai just gave me to you as a side job. Compared to Naruto, Sasuke and the others, I am not a formal member of Team 7 at all."

After watching Huo Wu talk for a long time, Kakashi finally understood what Huo Wu was concerned about.

It seems that she has been worrying about the fact that she is not a full member of Team 7, but a substitute... It seems that she is not even a substitute, because she does not even have a ninja number, and is not even a ninja.

Kakashi always thought that Huo Wu would be able to accept the fact that she was no longer a ninja, but he didn't expect that she still cared?

"Do you want to be a ninja?"

"No, what I mean is, if you believe me because I am a member of Team 7, then you must trust Sasuke and Naruto more. Do you think you understand them? Do you believe that they will not harm Konoha?"

If Sasuke defected, the ones who would be the saddest would be Naruto and Haruno Sakura. However, Kakashi is an adult, he would be sad too, but he didn't show it, so no one knew. In fact, he would be the saddest too because his most beloved disciple defected, right?

Kakashi frowned. What does Huo Wu mean by this? It feels like there is something else behind it, just like what Huo Wu said to Sasuke in the Land of Waves - about Akatsuki, about Orochimaru, about Naruto. She seemed to be hinting that Sasuke would be upset one day and would let Naruto down?
"Who are you talking about?"

Huo Wu shook her head. She couldn't explain it too clearly, so she just made a casual reference.

"Hey!"

Kakashi wanted to continue asking when he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away. He turned around unhappily and saw a boy with pigtails who looked annoyed and came in through the window.

Why is it him again!
Kakashi looked at Shikamaru and had the urge to Raikiri Shikamaru a thousand times.

"Why are you here?" Huo Wu looked at Shikamaru in confusion. Didn't this guy always like playing shogi and looking at clouds? When did he start liking to visit hospitals?

Huo Wu didn't think that Shikamaru came to see her. After all, she was injured last night, and Shikamaru didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Even if he knew, he wouldn't come to see her.

"Tsk, it's my mom. She's not feeling well, so I came here to accompany her." Shikamaru said helplessly, pointing at Nara Yoshino who just walked through the corridor.

"Kakashi..." Nara Yoshino only recognized Kakashi, so naturally he greeted Kakashi first.

Huo Wu has never been to Shikamaru's house and has no impression of Shikamaru's parents.

"Aunt Nara."

In short, married women now all take the man’s surname, so it must be correct for her to call him that.

Nara Shikaku's wife, Nara Shikamaru's mother, must also be Nara or something.

"Shikamaru, this is..." Nara Yoshino's eyes lit up when he saw Huo Wu. What a pretty girl. Although her face was a little pale, he could tell from the unusual clothes she was wearing that she must have been injured. But that didn't matter.

The important thing is, his son actually took the initiative to contact a girl other than Ino from the Yamanaka family? But Kakashi was also there, what was the relationship between this girl and Kakashi? He had never seen her in Konoha.

"She..." Shikamaru looked at Huo Wu and found it difficult to introduce her.

"I'm Shikamaru's former classmate. I took several attempts to pass the Genin exam, but I'm no longer a ninja now." Huo Wu said first.

What she said was the truth. After all, she had been classmates with Shikamaru and the others for such a long time. Although... she graduated early, she still came back.

She is indeed not a ninja anymore, this is all true. But what Nara Yoshino heard was: Huo Wu is a loser, completely different from his highly intelligent son. She took several attempts to pass the Genin exam, and was disqualified from being a ninja not long after becoming one. Just think about it, how bad it is?
However, Nara Yoshino obviously doesn't care about these details. Although his trouble-averse son has a high IQ, his EQ is sometimes not high. Moreover, since he has a high IQ, he needs people with low IQ to lower the average IQ of their family! (囧)
Otherwise, at home, Shikaku is a person with high IQ, and Shikamaru is also a person with high IQ. Sometimes she seems to have a high status, but she always falls into the trap unknowingly and is played around by the two of them!
If there is a person with high IQ in the family, wouldn't her position be more dangerous? Therefore, it is better to form an alliance with those with low IQ.

So, Nara Yoshino ignored the nurse who was urging her, and looked at Huo Wu with a smile: "Little girl, it turns out that you are Shikamaru's classmate. Did Shikamaru often bully you when you were in school? Don't mind it."

"No..." Huo Wu was stunned. When did Shikamaru bully her?
Shikamaru always sleeps, and occasionally hangs out with Ino, Shika, and Chou, but he is also the quietest one. How could he bully others?

However, Nara Yoshino would never believe it. Seeing Huo Wu's hesitant look, he knew that she must have been bullied, but was too embarrassed to say it. It seemed that she was interested in Shikamaru, right?

"Shikamaru's brain doesn't work well sometimes, don't mind it. Although he doesn't look good, he is still a good person. When we get married..."

Hey? Hey hey hey?
What's going on? Why are they suddenly talking about marriage? Shikamaru is getting married? Huo Wu was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open as she turned to look at Shikamaru.
