Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 180 Child King Nara Shika

After the bizarre incident in Iwagakure Village passed.

The water gates have fulfilled their promise.

The deer entered a resting state.

During this period, apart from some special missions, Lu Shi did not go on any other missions.

However, this doesn't mean he's out of trouble.

At this moment, the deer has been given a new responsibility.

"Uncle Shikatoki, come quick, come quick! Look what this is!" Naruto's energetic voice rang out as he rushed over and pulled Shikatoki forward.

They didn't stop until they reached an ant nest.

Sasuke, who had followed out of curiosity, immediately lost interest upon seeing this scene.

"Tch, I thought it was something important. Naruto is so childish."

"Sasuke! This is really interesting, isn't it?!" Naruto shouted, somewhat unconvinced.

"Children's tricks."

The two children bumped heads together, and Lu Shi, seeing this, was somewhat moved, "They're only three years old, and they're already so affectionate."

"Who's in love with this arrogant guy?"

"Hmph! I don't want to be all lovey-dovey with this childish guy!"

The two disliked each other.

But every time Naruto calls Sasuke out to play, Sasuke comes out. Shikatoshi can only say that this is the bond between them!

"Haa~!"

Shikamaru yawned widely. "Uncle, I'm so bored! I want to go home and sleep."

Shikamaru was already used to seeing Nara Shikamaru's lack of motivation; that's how most people in the Nara clan are.

Shika chuckled mischievously, "Going back is fine, but are you sure Yoshino-nee will let you lie down?"

The thought of his mother sent a shiver down Shikamaru's spine. "I suddenly feel like being here isn't so bad."

At that moment, two other children came over.

One person is holding snacks, and the other is holding flowers.

It was Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino.

"Uncle Shikatoki, where's Kurama?" Choji asked as soon as he arrived, mainly because both of them were big eaters, and Kurama was a big eater! This guy always took Choji and Hinata around to eat delicious food.

That's why Choji really liked following Kurama.

"Nine Lamas is sunbathing over there. Go find him yourself."

Upon hearing this, Choji skipped and hopped away.

Ino handed the flowers to Shikatoki, saying, "Uncle Shikatoki, you're so handsome! Can I marry you someday?"

"Ahem!"

Although this wasn't the first time Ino had said this, Shikatoki still couldn't help but feel a little nervous every time he heard it.

Let me reiterate!

He has absolutely no interest in children.

Look at his wives, they're all mature and sophisticated types!

The main reason is that Shikatoki didn't expect Ino to be a looks-obsessed person since childhood, and Shikatoki, due to Sage Mode, has always maintained a youthful appearance.

Shika told Yamanaka Inoichi's wife about this, but she didn't care at all and even said that Yamanaka Ino had good judgment.

You know, this whole thing is a mess.

As usual, Lu Shi accepted the flowers, then patted Ino's head and said, "Little Ino, we'll talk about these things when you grow up. Go play."

Ino nodded, seemingly confused.

"Okay, Uncle Lu, let me tell you, I saved a little girl who was being bullied yesterday. Isn't that amazing?"

Ino put her hands on her hips, looking like she wanted to praise me right away.

Shika readily agreed, "Ino is great. If I'm not mistaken, that little girl has pink hair, right?"

Ino's eyes lit up instantly. "Uncle Shikatoki is amazing! You knew before I even told you!"

Shikata knew immediately; it was indeed Sakura.

As for Sakura, Shikatoshi didn't really like her when watching the anime.

After all, her attitude towards Naruto was very different from her attitude towards Sasuke, and she always liked to ask Naruto for help, as if Naruto owed her something.

But he actually arrived in the ninja world.

As for Shikata, let's not even talk about understanding; Sakura was simply helpless.

With two teammates, one a reincarnation of Indra and the other a reincarnation of Ashura, two deities teaming up with her, a mere mortal, Sakura was under immense pressure!

During the final battle, Sakura was able to say, "I've caught up with them both!"

Shika felt that Sakura wasn't just out of her mind.

This is because Sakura has run out of options, so she's completely stopped taking pressure.

"Uncle Shikatoki, can I bring Sakura with me next time I come to play?" Ino asked with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Lu Shi nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, Ino's friends are my friends."

"Uncle Shikatoki is the best!" Ino hugged Shikatoki excitedly.

"Alright, alright, go have fun."

"Hinata hasn't arrived yet!" Ino looked around, searching for Hinata.

Shika looked around and confirmed that Hinata hadn't come; Hinata usually arrives very early.

However, Lu Shi didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, the Hyuga clan is known for having many rules.

"Maybe something happened at home."

"Then I'll go find Nine-Ratna."

Ino ran towards Kurama's location; girls, after all, love cute, fluffy creatures like that.

When no one bothers the deer.

The deer lay on the lawn enjoying the breeze.

A gentle breeze caressed my face; how delightful!

Time passed by unnoticed, and Lu Shi fell asleep until he felt his nose getting a little itchy.

He groggily opened his eyes and saw Naruto gently stroking his nose with grass.

Shika grabbed Naruto and lifted him up, saying, "Little Naruto, you've been naughty!"

"Hahaha!"

Naruto wasn't afraid at all. "Uncle Shikatoki, my dad said you're the strongest ninja in Konoha! And I still managed to get close to you with ease! I'm the strongest!"

"idiot."

"What did you say, you arrogant Sasuke?"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Lu Shi quickly stopped them, saying, "It's getting late, I'll take you home, you can play again tomorrow."

After sending each child back home, Lu Shi strolled slowly home alone.

As soon as Lu entered the house, she sensed that something was wrong.

Tsunade, Akane, and Yekura were all at the door, seemingly waiting for him.

"Good evening, were you waiting for me?" Lu Shi walked over and gave them a big hug.

The three of them didn't refuse. After the hug ended, Tsunade lowered her voice and said, "Shikatoki, Hyuga Hizashi is waiting for you inside. He came early this morning. I asked him why, but he wouldn't say. He just said he was waiting for you."

"what?"

Shika was a little confused, as he and Hyuga Hizashi had a decent relationship.

It's just that Riji is usually not very talkative, so it's rare for him to be so persistent in coming to see him today.

"I'll go in and see what you all say?"

Three pairs of eyes were filled with curiosity, which was already considered an answer to Lu Shi's question.

Seeing the deer, it was hard to refuse, so I said, "Alright, let's go together."

Enter the reception room.

Lu Shi greeted him with a smile, "Hishi, what brings you here today?"

When Hyuga Hizashi saw the deer walking in, he quickly walked over and, to everyone's surprise, knelt down and kowtowed.

The movement was so fast that it caught Lu Shi off guard.

After realizing what was happening, Lu Shi grabbed the shrew who was about to continue kowtowing. "Hey shrew, isn't it a bit too simplistic and crude of you to ask me to shorten my lifespan? Can't we talk this out?"

"Yes, Hizashi, just say what you have to say. There's really no need for this," Tsunade and the others quickly chimed in to dissuade him.

Hyuga Hizashi was already in tears.

"Shikatoshi-kun! Please, I really have no other choice. Please help me, help Neji!"

"Neji?"

Lu Shi felt a slight stirring in his heart and instantly understood.

A caged bird!

The Hyuga clan is divided into the main family and the branch family. Children from the branch family are required to kill the Caged Bird Seal when they are four years old.

They call it "protecting against eye-rolling!"

Perhaps the original intention was indeed to protect the Byakugan, but as time went by, the Caged Bird Seal has become a means for the Hyuga main family to control the Hyuga branch family.

To be honest, this system feels really abnormal to Lu.

If it's to protect the white-eyed birds, why not just put everyone in cages?

"What happened to Neji? If he's injured, come find me!" Tsunade hadn't even reacted yet. "Where is he? I'll come with you right now."

"Neji is not injured."

Hyuga Hizashi looked at Shikatoki and asked, "Shikatoki-kun, do you know about the Caged Bird Sequel?"

The moment the words "bird in a cage" appeared, Tsunade realized what was happening.

Yes! Neji is already four years old, it's time for him to be caged.

Tsunade didn't understand the Hyuga clan's main family and branch family.

However, she is from the Senju clan, so she can only show respect and shouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.

However, Hyuga Hizashi came to visit today, which clearly shows that he has made up his mind.
