Chapter 740
[At the same time as Naruto exploded, red chakra clothes appeared again on the bodies of those who were seriously injured but not dead. Sakura, who was treating Shikamaru, saw this and turned to look at Naruto, with a look of pity: 'Naruto... You are fighting while thinking about healing your companions... Naruto, just do what you should do, leave this to me...']
[However, Ino, who heard Sakura's inner voice, denied her idea and explained: "No, Sakura, Naruto did this unconsciously... just because he wanted to save Shikamaru. I was in a very urgent mood, so I mobilized the chakra, and I could clearly feel it through the Heart Turning Technique. "]
[At this time, Shikamaru opened his eyes with a weak face: 'Naruto... You are always so desperate... For us, how long will you force yourself to do it... In the past, as long as you encountered something related to us, you never compromised, never slacked off... In front of you, I feel embarrassed to bother...']
["Alas, seeing Naruto working so hard, let alone being embarrassed to bother, even if I have the thought of retreating a little, I feel sorry for him, so I can only follow him to the end!"]
["What do you mean by going to the end? It's as if Naruto pointed us to a dark road. Although his dream is whimsical, it is because it is too beautiful that it seems unrealistic, but no one can deny that it is an absolutely bright road!"]
["To be able to be followed by Naruto It's good to think about him like this, but if I put myself in his shoes, I hope he can take back the chakra attached to the coalition forces at this time, because he obviously needs this power to deal with the enemy. What we can do is limited, but not being a drag is the most basic requirement. "]
["Don't make decisions for Naruto as a matter of course. Since he has chosen to protect the coalition forces, then do as he wishes. After all, if the safety of his companions is not guaranteed, do you think Naruto can fight with Obito without any scruples?"]
["We must also consider Naruto's psychological endurance. Every sacrifice is a torture to his heart. After all, the words Obito said before the war were quite heartbreaking."]
["Dad, I'm sorry... Naruto... still won't let me come to you..." Shikamaru muttered, and Sakura interrupted him and asked him to have a good rest, so Shikamaru fell into the memory of Naruto again. ]
['Dad, I later found out... how much bitterness Naruto had gone through alone... so from now on, I don't want him to feel that way anymore... whenever I'm around that guy, I'll have these thoughts in my head...']
['I once told you before... that guy will become a very important ninja to the village. As long as I'm around him, I can't help but want to go on with him... but Naruto is different from the first generation. That idiot doesn't have a brother like the second generation who can give him advice... that's why I have to... when that guy becomes Hokage, I have to stand by that idiot's side...']
[Thinking of this, Shikamaru sat up with difficulty with his hands on the ground, with a forced smile on his face: 'So I'm sorry, Dad, I can't go to you yet... because no one is more suitable to be Naruto's military advisor than me! ’】
[“Wow! What is this! This is a confession! This is definitely a confession!”]
[“Ah! What a deep love, Shikamaru! Naruto, you are really sinful!”]
[“Tsk tsk tsk, a person who is most afraid of trouble took on the burden of military advisor, just to share the worries of Naruto who will become Hokage in the future, what is this! This is love!!”]
[“Hahaha! Shikamaru really either doesn’t open his mouth, or he speaks with such deep feelings. It feels like it’s a sin not to let you stand next to Naruto!”]
[ "Let alone saving his life, Shikamaru is also a man who will stand up at the critical moment!"]
"Ahhhhhh! What am I talking about! If you can't die, then you can't die. If you want to be a military advisor, then be a military advisor. Why do you have to add so many dirty words! The most important thing is that this is when all the ninja spirits are connected!"
Shikamaru collapsed and covered his face. He didn't even know that he would become so sentimental when he was dying. Now, not only he knows it, but the whole ninja world knows it.
Choji smiled foolishly. Shikamaru's uncontrollable emotion was quite rare even for him who grew up with him, so Choji couldn't help but be a bystander and laughed at Shikamaru's joke.
In the flower shop of the Yamanaka family, Ino covered her mouth and laughed so hard:"This 'confession' is really shocking. I must 'congratulate' him next time we meet!"
Nara Shikaku, who was idle at home, played shogi with himself and commented on the contents of the sky screen with a smile: "I can let that trouble-averse kid take the initiative to ask for the responsibility. It seems that when Naruto comes back, I have to prepare a generous gift to thank him."
Taking Shikamaru's voice on the sky screen, Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his head in embarrassment: "Shikamaru, why does he always say those words that give people goose bumps..."
Although he seemed to be a little repulsive, Naruto couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. In addition to Shikamaru's statement that he would become his military advisor, this was the first time Naruto clearly heard someone say that he didn't want him to go alone anymore. For Naruto, who had tasted the taste of loneliness, this was a 'love talk' that sounded better than any good words.
As for Hinata's previous words like "I want to be with Naruto" and "I want to stand with Naruto", I don't know if Naruto was playing dumb, anyway, I never thought about it that way, so it's a pity that the first touch was taken away by Shikamaru, a big man.
[The little strong men around Shikamaru were all happy for his awakening, and expressed their gratitude to Naruto in their own way. In order not to let Naruto down, everyone cheered up and prepared to fight again. ]
[Tsunade, who came later, made Shikamaru completely recover. After praising Sakura's efforts, Tsunade turned and walked towards the first generation: "Grandpa, I'm sorry..."]
["Tsunade, no need to apologize... These problems were left to the grandchildren, I'm too useless." The first generation said with a guilty look. ]
