Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 192 Brother-in-law, I really like this one!

Shikatoki and Tokugawa Nobuko walked back.

Shikamaru calmly smiled and said, "Princess Nobuko, you probably don't have a crush on Kakashi, do you?"

Tokugawa Nobuko paused for a moment, then made no attempt to hide it: "Yeah, I don't feel like we get along very well."

"I'd like to know your opinion of Kakashi," Shikatoshi said curiously.

Tokugawa Nobuko hesitated upon hearing this.

Shikata added, "Just saying, it's something Kakashi's father asked me to ask."

Nobuko Tokugawa said this when she met Shika, without hiding anything, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like Kakashi Hatake seems to be—um, what's that word again, a bit of a repressed pervert."

Upon hearing Tokugawa Nobuko's assessment, Shikatoki showed a surprised expression.

This princess is quite something!

That hit the nail on the head.

As Nobuko Tokugawa said, don't be fooled by Kakashi's serious appearance; he's actually a repressed pervert at heart.

"Haha, great comment, that's what I thought too."

Tokugawa Nobuko breathed a sigh of relief. She had already regretted saying it as soon as it left her mouth, since it was impolite to say such things to others.

Fortunately, Lu Shi agreed with her statement, which eased her embarrassment.

"It's alright, there's another one tomorrow. If none of them like you, don't worry, I'll go and explain to the daimyo of the Land of Lightning," Shikatoki comforted Tokugawa Nobuko.

Tokugawa Nobuko was somewhat moved. "Thank you, Lady Shikatoki."

After sending Tokugawa Nobuko back, Shikatoki also returned home.

Tsunade immediately leaned over, "Shikatoki, did Kakashi succeed?"

Shikatoki burst out laughing when he saw Tsunade's conflicted expression. "Tsunade, I feel like your expressions are really rich right now!"

Do you wish Kakashi wouldn't succeed, but then again, it doesn't feel right to think that way?

Tsunade's thoughts were read by Shikatoki, and she punched Shikatoki in annoyance. "What can I do?! Kakashi is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and Nawaki is almost thirty. How can I not be anxious! But if Kakashi succeeds, I will also wish him well."

Akane and Yekura walked in from the side. Akane placed the pastries in front of Shikatoki and sat down next to him. "Shikatoki, if you know, just tell me. Tsunade-neechan has been wanting to know all day."

Ye Cang, who was standing to the side, also nodded and said, "Yes, stop keeping us in suspense."

"Kakashi failed."

"Very good!"

When Tsunade heard that Kakashi had failed, she excitedly stood up, then suddenly realized that perhaps it wasn't appropriate for her to be so excited.

Tsunade glanced at Shikato cautiously.

His eyes were filled with amusement when he saw the deer.

Tsunade coughed. "I'll go tell the clan. I'm leaving now."

Tsunade, who had just left the gate, turned back and looked at Shikatoki pitifully. "Shikatoki, can you please not tell anyone what happened just now?!"

Tsunade has already mastered the guide to using the Shika (deer).

If you need something from a deer, acting cute often has a surprising effect.

Seeing Tsunade like this, Shikatoki softened. "Alright, alright, I understand. Tell Nawaki to get ready."

"Hehe, thank you, darling." Tsunade kissed Shika and ran away.

Upon receiving the news, the Senju clan became even more excited.

The next morning.

Shikatoki finds Tokugawa Nobuko, and this time Shikatoki takes her to a barbecue restaurant.

The deer's mouth twitched slightly as soon as it entered the door.

Damn it!

In this barbecue restaurant, 80% of the staff are from the Senju clan!

"Lord Shikatoki, is there a problem?" Tokugawa Nobuko noticed Shikatoki's unusual behavior and asked in confusion.

Lu Shi shook his head. "No."

As they spoke, the two approached the rope tree.

"Let me introduce you. This is Senju Nawaki, the current head of the Senju clan, Tsunade's younger brother, and Orochimaru's top disciple, one of the Legendary Sannin."

After Lu finished speaking, he looked at the rope tree.

They noticed that Nawaki was staring blankly at Tokugawa Nobuko.

"Rope tree?"

He called out, but Rope Tree didn't respond. Deer's face darkened. "Rope Tree!"

The deer's voice carried a hint of natural energy, which directly woke Rope Tree.

Nawaki realized his lapse in composure and hurriedly stood up. "Princess Nobuko, it's me, Nawaki. I'm sorry I was daydreaming."

At first, Nawaki was quite resistant to blind dates.

While sitting here waiting for someone, he planned to just give them a perfunctory answer.

The moment he saw Tokugawa Nobuko, he was completely stunned. No joke, every single detail of Tokugawa Nobuko was etched into his heart.

This is what is known as love at first sight.

At this moment, Rope Tree only felt that blind dates were great!

He loves blind dates the most.

Nobuko Tokugawa looked at Nawaki. Although he wasn't as handsome as Kakashi, he unexpectedly gave off a comfortable feeling.

"Ahem, I'm leaving now. You guys chat. Just like yesterday, I'll pick you up tonight." After saying that, Lu Shi gave Sheng Shu a look that said, "You better live up to your reputation."

Rope Tree understood immediately, but when he saw the stares from all around, he froze.

The deer keenly perceived this.

He paused at the door, then coughed.

A soft cough sounded, carrying a burst of natural energy.

The Senju clan members felt a surge of energy, followed by Shikatoki's voice echoing in their minds, "Tsunade! Take the Senju clan and leave this place. Haven't you noticed that Nawaki is a hundred times more nervous than usual?!"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade glanced at Nawaki, then slowly got up and left.

When the Senju clan members saw Tsunade leave, they also left.

The barbecue restaurant suddenly lost more than half of its customers.

Tokugawa Nobuko looked around curiously. "These people left without finishing their food?"

Rope Tree gave an awkward laugh. "Maybe something's come up. What do you want to eat? What do you want to drink? I'll go buy it for you!"

Seeing Nawaki's eager expression, Tokugawa Nobuko unexpectedly found him somewhat endearing.

Compared to Kakashi, who is reserved and secretly passionate, Nawaki seems much more honest and simple. Moreover, it is obvious that this is Nawaki's first date with a girl, and his actions are clumsy, but he is surprisingly considerate of his own feelings.

This greatly increased Tokugawa Nobuko's goodwill towards him.

The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere became more familiar. Nawaki was a talkative person, and soon he started talking about Tokugawa Nobuko.

They made him laugh heartily.

A day goes by quickly.

Rope Tree felt a little unsatisfied, but it was getting late.

The deer have arrived.

Seeing the state of the two, Lu Shi knew there was something going on.

At least the atmosphere between Nawaki and Tokugawa Nobuko now is much better than the atmosphere with Kakashi yesterday.

"Princess Nobuko, let's go."

"Okay, goodbye, Nawaki-kun."

"Goodbye, Princess Nobuko. Take care on your journey."

When Lu Shi heard the two greet each other, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Princess Nobuko, it seems you and Nawaki get along quite well!" Shikatoki asked with a smile.

Nobuko Tokugawa nodded. "It's very comfortable being with Nawaki-kun."

"I really didn't expect that you would take a liking to that silly boy, Rope Tree." Lu Shi said in a light tone.

Tokugawa Nobuko blushed slightly. "Actually, Nawaki-kun is quite cute, and although he's a bit clumsy and impulsive, he always cares about my feelings, which I can clearly feel."

"Haha, that's good. I really didn't realize that Nawaki was so knowledgeable."

After sending Tokugawa Nobuko back, Shikatoki-kun returned to the Senju clan as usual.

Upon entering, the atmosphere today was even more impressive than yesterday.

Not only Tsunade and the others, but all the elders of the Senju clan came, and they were all staring longingly at Shikatoki.

Lu Shi was speechless. "I said, aren't you guys going a bit too far?"

"Lu Shijun, we have no choice! The clan leader is almost thirty years old, and he is still from the lineage of Lord Hashirama. We can't watch Lord Hashirama's lineage die out!" The elder spoke from the bottom of his heart.

They are really anxious!

Rope Tree walked over sheepishly, looking at Deer Time with expectant eyes: "Deer Time, no! Brother-in-law! I really like this one, give me a straight answer, is it good or bad!"

"You're really pragmatic, aren't you? You call me Nara Shika when nothing's wrong, but you call me brother-in-law when something's up."

After making a sarcastic remark, Lu Shi continued, "I don't know if it will work out or not, but Princess Nobuko said you're quite cute."

Nawaki was stunned for a moment, and then his mind was filled with the image of Tokugawa Nobuko.

"Hehehe, he said I'm cute!"

"It's done! It's done!"

The Grand Elder was also very excited, "Quickly, quickly, prepare the betrothal gifts!"

Seeing this, Shika quickly stopped him, "Elder! Don't rush! Nawaki and Princess Nobuko have only just met. If you're in such a hurry, you'll scare her away! Let's talk to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning first, and then we'll discuss it further."

"Yes, yes, I got excited." The elder also realized his mistake and grabbed Lu Shi's hand. "Thank you so much, Lu Shi-kun."

Rope Tree immediately knelt down before the deer, pleading, "Brother-in-law, I really love this! You have to help me!"
