Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon

Seeing this, Sakura immediately took out her Polaroid camera and with a "click", she perfectly recorded Inuzuka Kiba's flash of genius.

"Xiaoying, how did you guys get into this state?

The two explosions in the Death Forest must have been caused by you, did you encounter a strong enemy?"

Shikamaru felt helpless as he looked at Sakura and Kiba who were making bad jokes.

However, at this moment, there was still an important question in his mind that had not been answered - that is, who had the ability to force Team 7 into a desperate situation.

Before the Chunin Exams, Nara Shikaku specifically told Shikamaru to try not to become an enemy of Team 7 in the first two exams.

He also told Shikamaru and Sakura about their record of capturing a jonin alive, and also about the information that they seemed to have developed some kind of forbidden technique.

Shikaku would not make up such a lie that would be easily exposed, and Shikamaru took his advice to heart.

Shikamaru speculated that the two heart-pounding explosions were probably the forbidden techniques that Sakura and the others had mastered.

However, Kakashi's team, which was able to capture a jonin alive, was so embarrassed in the mere Chunin Exam. It can be seen that the opponents must be multiple strong people with the strength of jonin, or people who are far stronger than jonin.

Regardless of the situation, someone with this kind of strength cannot possibly be a Genin. He must have other purposes for sneaking into the Chunin Exam.

Shikamaru, who didn't want to get involved in any trouble, decided to avoid such strong opponents in the subsequent individual competitions at all costs.

"Ah, you mean this. Orochimaru disguised himself as a student and sneaked into the second round of the exam. He fought with us for a while, and you saw the result..."

"I see. I was wondering how you guys ended up like this. It turns out it's because of you..."

Inuzuka Kiba nodded with a smile, but swallowed his words halfway through, and then revealed an expression of extreme shock:

His eyes were wide open, almost bulging out, his mouth was open but he couldn't utter a word, and he looked like a stranded sea fish.

"Who are you talking about?"

Although Neji's expression was not as wonderful as Kiba's, the shock in his heart was no less than Kiba's.

“Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

I have reported the details to examiner Hongdou."

Seeing that everyone had a look of despair on their faces, Sakura explained again.

No wonder the nine little strong men were frightened by Sakura’s words.

In the eyes of teachers at ninja schools and family elders, the Three Ninjas are synonymous with the strongest men in the ninja world, and are similar to superheroes in comic stories. Orochimaru, who betrayed Konoha, naturally became a "big devil" in their hearts.

If what Sakura said just now were put on Blue Star, it would be equivalent to a classmate who always brags and chats with you suddenly saying to you one day with a bruised face, "I just had a fight with my countrymen!"

"You're telling me that you were attacked by the Sannin, and not only did you survive, but you... you fought off Orochimaru?"

Shikamaru came back to his senses, and although he still couldn't believe it, he had to believe it.

Because when the facts are outrageous to a certain extent, people tend not to question whether it is a lie.

"How is that possible! We are no match for them at all. Those two explosions were just our desperate struggles.

Fortunately, Orochimaru's intention this time was not to kill us. He bit Sasuke's neck and left. "

Sakura answered truthfully.

However, everyone present fell into silence.

Especially Shikamaru, Neji and Shino; different from the others, they were equally smart and started a brainstorming session.

Although Sakura didn't say it explicitly, the three of them knew that Sakura was hinting that Orochimaru's target was Sasuke, or Sasuke's Sharingan.

"I have finished explaining my situation, but why are you here?

Obviously, his strength is not bad, so why haven't he collected the scrolls yet?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sakura took the lead in opening the conversation again.

"I do have an extra scroll of earth here, but it's not enough for you to share."

As she spoke, Sakura took out three scrolls from her ninja tool bag, one for "Heaven" and two for "Earth".

"Huh? Has Sakura-chan collected all the scrolls?

That...we found this...and thought Sakura-chan had an accident...

I want to help you.”

Hinata sheepishly opened her palm, revealing a micro-detonating talisman on it.

"As expected of Hinata, you care about me so much!

It’s not in vain that I love you so much!”

Seeing the detonating tag in Hinata's hand, Sakura roughly guessed the whole story; she smiled and ruffled Hinata's soft short hair.

Hinata also enjoyed the warmth of Sakura's fingertips like a gentle kitten.

"We wanted to repay the favor you did for passing the written test, but now it seems like it was unnecessary.

It's amazing that you can collect two scrolls even in this state."

Seeing that Sakura still hadn't given up on Hinata, Tenten angrily threw a pair of scrolls of heaven and earth to Sakura, interrupting their intimate behavior; Neji next to them also responded to what Tenten said and showed the two scrolls in his hand.

“Ah, you mean this. Two teams mistakenly entered the vicinity of the shelter and fell into a trap.

Although I spared them for the sake of the scroll, they were seriously injured at the time. I hope they are not dead."

Sakura took the scroll and looked at Tenten who was pouting, feeling helpless:

Where did this jealous and arrogant person come from?

"Hey, it looks like our extra scrolls are useless."

Inuzuka Kiba looked at Hyuga Neji provocatively, and took out five scrolls from his arms and the ninja tool bag.

The desire to compare is self-evident.

"boring."

Neji just replied coldly.

Looking at the scene in front of them, except for Team 10, everyone had collected scrolls that exceeded the exam requirements. Shikamaru and Ino couldn't help but feel embarrassed:

We are both Genin living together, why is there such a big difference in our personalities?

Unexpectedly, a total of 26 scrolls were distributed in the second round of exams, and half of them were now in this small shelter.

"This is for you. I remember that the scroll of earth is in your hands."

Sakura looked at the expressions of Ino and Shikamaru and knew that they were just like in the anime, and had not yet collected all the scrolls, so she threw the Scroll of Heaven that Orochimaru spit out to Ino.

"Why is this scroll so damp?"

Ino caught the scroll and was a little confused.

"Ah, you mean this. Orochimaru spat it out of his mouth to induce us to fight. Fortunately, he was not interested in the exam and did not take the scroll away."

"Eh~ How disgusting."

Ino frowned in disgust and handed the scroll to Choji.

"Will there be enough energy to protect the scroll in that kind of explosion?"

Shino extracted the key information from Sakura's words and suddenly spoke out, while Neji beside him nodded slightly in agreement.

Sakura, who was startled by Shino's sudden appearance, just shrugged without comment.

But when Shikamaru, who was beside Ino, saw this scene, his body trembled involuntarily. His wisdom was higher than Shino and Neji, so he thought more deeply than them:

Sakura said that he obtained scrolls from two groups of candidates who fell into the trap.

So the question is, why does she only have three scrolls in her hand, where are the scrolls of Kakashi's team?

If it was true as Shino said, that Sakura and the others still had the energy to protect the scrolls during the explosion, it would be impossible that they only protected Orochimaru's Scroll of Heaven and failed to protect their own Scroll of Earth.

In addition, since Sakura did not confirm Shino's speculation just now, it is very likely that Sakura did not protect the scroll.

This means that Sakura and the others' own scrolls were damaged in the explosion.

Then how did Sakura get Orochimaru's scroll?

Sakura couldn't have snatched it with her strength, so even if Orochimaru didn't give the scroll to Sakura, Sakura got it with Orochimaru's tacit consent.

The truth of the matter is most likely that Sakura and Orochimaru made some kind of deal, or that Orochimaru is very optimistic about Sakura, and the scroll is a disguised investment or solicitation.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru suddenly felt cold sweat on his back and subconsciously looked at Sakura.

Sakura was looking at him with a smile at this moment, but under her sweet smile, Shikamaru could not read Sakura's true thoughts.

Shikamaru's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he pretended to be calm and said:

"Sakura, is there anything you can help us with?"

"Huh? Shikamaru, who is so afraid of trouble, actually offered to help!

Did you find anything interesting?"

Sakura still looked at Shikamaru with a smile.

The ambiguous smile made Shikamaru sweat profusely, but Sakura did not embarrass Shikamaru and took the initiative to speak:

"I haven't slept for three days and three nights. I want to take a short break. I wanted to leave the guard duty to Kiba, Hinata, and Shino who agreed to help.

Since you want to help so much, you can stay here too."

"I will handle it!"

Having destroyed the trap before coming in, Ya naturally remembered his promise.

"Okay, Sakura-chan."

Hinata and Shino also nodded.

"We can also be responsible for the security, just as a way of repaying your favor."

Tiantian said that the third class was also willing to stay.

"It's better not to. Konoha has placed high hopes on us in this exam. We haven't reached the central tower yet. I guess Mr. Kai and the others are getting anxious. You can go to the central tower to let them know that you are safe."

Sakura refused Tenten's request to stay.

Soon, Team Kai left, and Team Red followed Sakura out to set up tents and rest. Before leaving, Sakura turned back and gave Shikamaru a "successful plan" smile.

The only ones left in the shelter were the unconscious Naruto and Sasuke, and the Ino, Deer, and Chou trio.

"What's wrong, Shikamaru? Why did you offer to help Sakura?"

Ino asked Shikamaru curiously. She knew Shikamaru was afraid of trouble and he would never offer to help without a reason.

"What a troublesome thing!"

Shikamaru didn't answer Ino's question, but just complained.

He understood everything now. It was all Haruno Sakura's trick.

She deliberately hinted that she seemed to be in collusion with Orochimaru to trigger his own imagination.

If all this was true, and if Team 10 acted alone, there was a high chance that he would be silenced.

According to Shikamaru's speculation, with Sakura's strength, it should not be difficult for her to use illusion to control Ino and Choji and kill him without anyone noticing.

Only when he is with the Byakugan, who has extremely high resistance to illusions, will he be safe.

Sakura left Hinata behind so that she could kidnap Team 10 and guard the surroundings.

I have to help you now even if I don't want to.

Judging from Sakura's expression, this was all within her expectations.

Although Shikamaru felt that the matter about Orochimaru was most likely a lie told by Sakura in order to threaten him to stay, this was an open conspiracy. Even if the probability was only one in ten thousand, he would not joke with his life. From the moment he saw that the number of scrolls was wrong, it was a foregone conclusion that he stayed.

This was the first time that Shikamaru lost to someone his own age in a battle of wits and strategies.

Thinking of Sakura's wisdom and unfathomable strength, Shikamaru felt a deep sense of powerlessness and couldn't help but sigh again:

"I hope I'm just overthinking it all."

Then he took Ino and Choji out to guard the surroundings.
