Inuzuka Kiba has been curious about the combination of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto for a long time.

Perhaps it was because Naruto Uzumaki, who used to be playful and fond of pranks, became silent, the beard on his face disappeared, and those pranks turned into a non-care about everything, facing everything very calmly.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, two people who seemed completely impossible to get together, got together.

Then Inuzuka Kiba discovered that Uzumaki Naruto, who had always been at the bottom of the class, got better grades.

It's not that much better, just a little better, and the bad results in the past suddenly reached the passing line.

Unlike Naruto Uzumaki, whose grades were at the bottom of the class, Uchiha Sasuke's grades, which had always been at the top of the class, suddenly dropped. Suddenly, he was no longer leading the class, but dropped to a very reluctant level.

It was only last year, the fourth year after discovering this situation, that Inuzuka Kiba discovered the weirdness in it.

Uchiha Sasuke's performance dropped after the Uchiha clan was exterminated.

Uzumaki Naruto's grades improved after he stopped smiling.

Even if the two people are often in step after that, it would be a bit too arbitrary to attribute all these factors together.

But during another exam, he accidentally saw the results of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, and Inuzuka Kiba immediately understood that the problem with these two people was serious.

Ninja school examinations are divided into practical scores and written test scores, and the criterion for determining whether a student is qualified is the comprehensive score of the two scores.

The overall results of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke are exactly the same.

Yes, both the practical scores and the written test scores are just above a passing line.

It doesn't look very good, nor does it look particularly bad.

It's like the genius he once was has completely disappeared from everyone.

But it was this that made Inuzuka Kiba feel something was wrong, and an answer also appeared in Inuzuka Kiba's mind.

Control points!

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were both controlling their scores, just maintaining a just-qualified position.

Not standing high, not standing at the end, just standing in the center.

It's like deliberately trying to appear ordinary and ordinary

「These two guys are absolutely terrifying."

Inuzuka Kiba knows very well that this kind of point control is the perfect control of strength, so how many of the entire class can do this?

Inuzuka Kiba was not very clear about the answer to this question, but he understood that except for Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, probably Nara Shikamaru, the guy in the entire class who always talked about"trouble" will do so.

Nara Shikamaru does not control his grades in practical classes, but only deliberately controls them in written examinations.

However, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke controlled both their actual combat results and written test results.

After such a comparison, Inuzuka Kiba knew who was better and who was worse with his eyes closed.

After Inuzuka Kiba's gaze retracted, Hinata Hinata, who was sitting in the last row near the back door, also tilted her gaze slightly.

The slanted gaze was focused on Uzumaki Naruto who was sitting across a row of seats.

Hinata Hinata has always known Uzumaki Naruto.

In the past, the most noisy person in the entire class was Uzumaki Naruto, and when Uzumaki Naruto was not making noises, it was Hinata who immediately focused on Uzumaki Naruto.

It was also when Uzumaki Naruto first changed that she noticed Uzumaki Naruto's eyes staring at her several times.

Hinata Hinata didn't know the meaning of that look, but after those few times of attention, she never felt Naruto Uzumaki's eyes on her again.

It was because of those few times of attention that Hinata started to pay attention to Uzumaki Naruto.

That suddenly got better results.

Suddenly he changed from being cheerful in the past to being taciturn.

Hinata and Hinata could see these changes.

Even when he usually goes home, he can often see Uzumaki Naruto not going home, but going to the 23rd training ground.

Hinata Hinata didn't know what was going on, but she had a vague answer in her heart

「Naruto-kun... maybe he moved out because of those noises."

Because of the usual attention, Hinata Hinata could hear some nasty words from villagers about Uzumaki Naruto many times on the street.

Those words were very vicious, even more outrageous than the words she had ever heard directed at her.

Hinata Hinata knew that she was not talented and capable, and there was no way she could compare with her sister Hanabi in all aspects.

Hinata Hinata even heard someone from her clan say,"Hinata-sama may be sent to a separate family in the future."

Yes, as long as the Hyuga clan has two heirs, one heir will become a branch family, and an indelible mark will be left on the forehead.

That is the mark of the separation family.

Once the Hyuga clan is branded with this mark, it will be completely controlled by the clan.

It's a stigma.

It is also a brand of slavery

「It would have been better if I had been born in a separate family."

People who have separated families will be imprinted with this mark when they grow up.

From Hinata Hinata's point of view, her ordinary self will inevitably be imprinted with this mark, and the younger sister with better talent will become a clan member and shoulder the responsibilities of the Hyuga clan.

Every time Hinata thinks of these, she can't help but think of Uzumaki Naruto.

The Uzumaki Naruto who was as hated as she was and had never been liked by others.

But in Hinata Hinata's conscious attention, she discovered that Uzumaki Naruto had never cared about those bad words.

Unlike his usual antics, Hinata Hinata knew that Uzumaki Naruto's whole person had changed after he became completely calm.

「Maybe I can change like Naruto-kun."

Hinata Hinata had such thoughts once upon a time, but she found that she could not ignore the feelings of others like Uzumaki Naruto.

My father was disappointed again and again.

My sister goes above and beyond again and again.

All these make Hinata suffer a lot every day.

But it was because of this that Hinata paid more attention to the completely changed Uzumaki Naruto.

She didn't know why Uzumaki Naruto was changed, but Hinata Hinata also hoped that she could be completely changed like Uzumaki Naruto.

Hinata Hinata didn't know how to talk to Uzumaki Naruto.

Because Uzumaki Naruto has usually become taciturn, and she doesn't know how to greet someone. She is always afraid of being ignored when she wants to speak. She freezes every time and doesn't know how to find an opportunity to speak.

「Hopefully, after graduating from Ninja School, I can find a chance to speak." ps: Asking for flowers and comments every day.
