Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Chapter 310: Intimate Friend

The sound is almost inaudible, like a mosquito buzzing next to your ear, making it difficult to catch.

But Shikamaru still heard his response clearly, stretched out his hand and invited him with a bright smile.

"Then come with me, I'll take you to meet the others."

Shikamaru's invitation was unexpected. Hoshino Makoto never thought it would happen so soon. Shikamaru held his hand and brought him straight to his friends.

Feeling everyone's curious gazes at him, Hoshino Makoto's hands and feet suddenly stiffened and he stood there like a sculpture.

Even though they had only met once, Shikamaru naturally put his hand on his shoulder and introduced him to everyone enthusiastically, as if he had known Hoshino Makoto for a long time.

"Everyone, let me introduce him to you. His name is..." Shikamaru stopped talking halfway through, looking embarrassed because he didn't know his name yet.

At this moment, Hoshino Makoto suddenly whispered something. His voice was very low, but Shikamaru still sensitively caught the words from his mouth, and then pretended that everything was fine and said.

"His name is Hoshino Makoto..."

"Wow, is this a new friend?" The impatient Naruto spoke first, with a smile on his face as bright as the sun, as if all the misfortunes in the world had nothing to do with him.

"Hello, my name is Namikaze Naruto, thank you for your guidance." Naruto happily introduced himself to Hoshino Makoto.

"Please...please give me some advice." Makoto Hoshino said in a low voice.

Sasuke looked at Naruto who had taken the lead, feeling unwilling, and immediately followed him and introduced himself.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

When Hoshino Makoto heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and responded immediately.

"Hello, thank you for your guidance." The voice was much more relaxed than before.

The others followed suit, and everyone was kind to him. This kindness warmed Hoshino Makoto's heart, and the remaining reservedness disappeared with each greeting.

Just when everyone was happy about Hoshino Makoto's joining, Shikamaru frowned, like a quiet forest, energetic and yet calm.

Although still young, the Nara clan has excellent genes and shows extraordinary wisdom at a young age.

Hoshino... This surname is not very common. In Konoha, it is rarely heard except by His Majesty and his family.

After all, that is the royal family's surname, and most of them changed their names to avoid taboos.

Nowadays, the surname Hoshino is equivalent to the royal family in the eyes of the people and is a symbol of nobility.

Shikamaru raised his head and looked at Hoshino Makoto with a frown. After hesitating, he asked the doubts in his heart.

"Makoto, are you from a royal family?"

As soon as the words fell, the joyful atmosphere receded like the tide, and everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

Naruto opened his mouth wide with a look of disbelief.

"No way, Shikamaru."

Akimichi Choza wiped the corner of his mouth and said doubtfully: "Shikamaru, you should know the number of people in the royal family. You didn't make a mistake, did you?"

Faced with the question, Shikamaru did not answer, but looked at Hoshino Makoto, hoping that he could give an answer.

Hoshino Makoto scratched his head, seeming distressed, but it was not because he was really a member of the royal family, but because he had been asked this question many times since he was a child.

Faced with another familiar question, Makoto Hoshino answered very naturally without any hesitation.

"I am not from the royal family. I grew up in an orphanage. My last name is just a coincidence."

After hearing this explanation, Naruto and the others were convinced. After all, they also thought so.

However, after hearing about Makoto Hoshino's life story, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry and felt that this was exposing someone's scars.

Therefore, Nara Shikamaru, the person who raised the question, immediately became the target of everyone's criticism.

"Shikamaru, apologize now!" This is Naruto.

"Apologize." This is the taciturn Sasuke.

“Mmm…Mmm…Mmm.” This is Ding Zuo with his mouth stuffed with potato chips.

Shikamaru:"......"

You unified your front really quickly and found yourself in a pit in the blink of an eye.

"Sorry, Makoto." Under the condemnation of everyone and a trace of guilt in his heart, Shikamaru sincerely apologized to Hoshino Makoto.

Hoshino Makoto waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Hearing this, Shikamaru felt even more guilty. This sentence was something he had become accustomed to, and it contained so much sadness.

Naruto, who was optimistic by nature, immediately patted his chest and promised him after hearing this.

"From now on, we are friends for life, right, Sasuke?"

In the last sentence, Naruto did not forget to bring Sasuke along.

As a good friend, how could Sasuke refuse? He snorted coldly and agreed with him.

"You...thank you!" Hoshino Makoto's eyes suddenly became moist and he said with a choked voice.

Seeing this, Qiu Daodingzu gave up his potato chips for the first time.

"Here, eat something and you'll feel better."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto came over and reached out to take it, but was slapped away by Choza.

"Why can't I?" Naruto said aggrievedly.

"No reason." Ding Zuo gave the whole bag of potato chips to Makoto Hoshino.

Looking at Naruto's stupid look, Sasuke couldn't help but twitch his lips: "What an idiot."

Watching the others fighting around Hoshino Makoto, Shikamaru smiled and whispered, "The truth is no longer important. It will only expose the scars. Let it disappear with the wind."

As if to explain his curiosity, after saying this, Shikamaru joined the conversation and laughter of the others.

For a moment, the joyful atmosphere reappeared, even more intense than before.

At the same time, Bai Shiyu on the other side found his teacher Yue Guangye.

In the courtyard, the two sat opposite each other, and Moonlight Gale Breeze considerately made tea for them.

Bai Shiyu looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Ji Feng, is your lung disease getting better?"

"Much better. The doctor said that it will be cured after a period of treatment."

As Moonlight Gale spoke, the smile on his face deepened.

After all, the dark clouds over the sickly person's head will soon clear up and the sun will appear. All we need to do is wait for some time.

But Yue Guang Ye at the side snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, if you didn't pay attention to rest on weekdays, you would still be thinking about practicing swordsmanship."

"I'm afraid he has recovered a long time ago. Why do we have to wait until today?!!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Yue Guang Ye's tone gradually became heavier.

Upon hearing this, Moonlight Gale immediately shrank his neck and hid behind Bai Shiyu.

Seeing this, Bai Shiyu chuckled and shook his head, then acted as a peacemaker: "Teacher, it is normal for a young man like Jifeng to behave like this, you don't have to be angry."

As he said this, he turned around and winked at him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Moonlight Wind immediately understood and ran away without looking back.

Seeing this, Yue Guang Ye blew his beard and glared at Bai Shiyu fiercely: "Stinky boy, it's always like this, you just spoil him."

Bai Shiyu shrugged, looking persistent.

"Teacher, it's time to get down to business."
