Chapter 151 Shikamaru Takes the Lead!

Whoever the bottle lands on draws a card from it. These cards are all carefully selected Truth or Dare mixed versions!

She enthusiastically explained the rules every day, and she put a lot of effort into the cards in order to help her two teammates.

Looking at the neatly stacked cards on the table, Tian Tian revealed a meaningful smile.

Kiba Inuzuka volunteered, "I'll spin! I'll spin! I'm strong!"

"Don't spin the bottle around," Shino Aburame reminded him from the side.

"Okay, okay!"

Although he verbally agreed, Kiba Inuzuka's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.

With his force, the bottle suddenly spun around, and because he exerted too much force, it even began to rotate in circles on the table.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly picked up the other items on the table, afraid that they would be knocked over by the bottle.

"I told you not to use too much force!" Yamanaka Ino complained to him.

"Heh heh." Kiba Inuzuka grinned mischievously, staring at the constantly changing direction indicated by the bottle opening. "Where would the excitement come from if it weren't like this?"

Finally, the bottle came to a slow stop due to friction, and its mouth was facing Naruto Uzumaki.

"It's me!" Naruto Uzumaki showed no signs of nervousness, but rather was overjoyed.

Tian Tian quickly pushed the card towards him, "Hurry up and draw one!"

"Okay!"

After careful consideration, Naruto Uzumaki took out a card from the middle, flipped it over amidst everyone's curiosity, and then read out the words on the card.

"Truth or dare, make eye contact with the person on your right for ten seconds. The person on my right is..."

Naruto Uzumaki turned his head to the right and met Sasuke Uchiha's disgusted expression.

"...I haven't even started to dislike you yet! How can you put on such a sour face first!" Naruto Uzumaki suddenly bristled.

When they saw that it was the two of them who won the first adventure, everyone laughed as if watching a show, except for Kiba Inuzuka, who looked regretful. "I thought something interesting was going to happen."

Choji Akimichi, who was still eating snacks nearby, spoke up, "It's rare to see the two of them interacting so intimately."

Kiba Inuzuka glanced at the two men with displeased expressions and became slightly interested. "That's true, even Sasuke's cold face has its day."

Sasuke Uchiha, the protagonist of the gossip, expressed his strong reluctance, but everyone else was egging him on, saying it was the game's rule. So he could only glare sharply at Naruto Uzumaki, who also had a displeased expression.

The ten-second eye contact was torture for both of them. After Haruko finished reading the last second, they both abruptly turned their heads away.

"Aaaaaah! My eyes have suffered an unbearable blow!" Naruto rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Uchiha Sasuke also took a deep breath, "It's the filth of you that's the real blow to me!"

Haruko looked at them with amusement, "You guys are exaggerating."

Only Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki probably knew that they were not exaggerating at all; they both swore in their hearts not to see each other for the next week.

Then, with Sakura Haruno's reminder, Naruto spun the bottle again. This time, the bottle, which wasn't being spun maliciously, moved a little slower and finally stopped just in front of Shikamaru Nara.

I closed my eyes every day and still didn't draw Neji or Lee. Damn it!

Nara Shikamaru read aloud the words on the card under Yamanaka Ino's teasing expression: "Truth or dare, how long did you like the first person you liked?"

"Wow~" Everyone cheered.

In particular, Yamanaka Ino was so excited that she almost wanted to say it for him.

Nara Shikamaru gave a deadpan look. "This is so troublesome. How did I end up with a card like this?"

"Shikamaru, don't run away, answer now!" Haruko Hayama also got excited.

This is a bombshell about Shikamaru! And judging from his attitude, it must be a huge bombshell!

Unexpectedly, she was also joining in the fun. Then he remembered that Haruko Hayama was just like that. Nara Shikamaru glanced at her, feeling helpless, and gently tapped the table.

"Let me make it clear first, it's not exactly love, but I do care to some extent," Nara Shikamaru corrected himself. "Well... from childhood to now, it's been about five or six years?"

Under the spotlight, he tried to mask his indifference with an uncertain tone, but the instant he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but calculate the specifics in his mind:

It has been six years, ten months, and four days since I was born.

"Five or six years?" Haruko Hayama immediately began to ponder, trying to find out who the person he cared about was.

They clearly knew each other since the Ninja Academy, but Shikamaru doesn't have many close female friends, only Ino and her. So, the person Shikamaru cares about is probably...

What?! Shikamaru likes Ino!

Haruko's eyes widened as if she had stumbled upon a bombshell, then she immediately covered her mouth, trying to suppress this earth-shattering discovery.

Completely unaware that most eyes were unconsciously fixed on her, even those who didn't understand followed their gaze to Haruko Hayama.

Only Haruko Hayama remains immersed in the complicated love triangle involving Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Sasuke Uchiha.

Shikamaru likes Ino, Ino likes Sasuke, so who does Sasuke like?

Haruko looked intently at Sasuke Uchiha beside her.

Uchiha Sasuke: ?

"Ahem, let's hurry up and move on to the next one." Tian Tian broke the strange atmosphere.

Hurry! Switch to Neji or Lee!

Nara Shikamaru immediately saw through Tenten's ulterior motives, but he wasn't sure what she was up to, so he started spinning the bottle in his hand.

To Tian Tian's disappointment once again, this time the character she switched to was Sakura Haruno.

"Truth or dare, please tell me who made your heart flutter the most today..." Sakura Haruno read the words on the card blankly, and subconsciously looked at Haruko Hayama who was smiling.

When she met her gaze, Haruko Hayama made a confused "Hmm?" sound.

Sakura Haruno quickly explained, "It's... because I was invited by Haruko, so I'm very happy today. If I had to say, Haruko is the person who made my heart flutter the most today!"

She tried to cover up her true intentions by subtly changing the subject, convincing herself while secretly feeling a stirring within her.

Like everyone else, Sakura Haruno nervously observed Haruko Hayama's reaction, but Haruko responded directly and generously, "I'm also super smitten with Sakura!"

Sakura Haruno's heart skipped a beat.

"Tch, this is just a simple thank you, how boring." Kiba Inuzuka's restless heart calmed down again.

Only Yamanaka Ino, sitting next to Haruno Sakura, looked at her slightly shy expression with a strange gaze, as if something was off, yet nothing seemed particularly odd...

Unable to come up with a solution, Yamanaka Ino could only let it go and remain silent.

Noticing her unusual behavior, Nara Shikamaru patted Akimichi Choji next to him, took the snacks that Akimichi Choji was reluctant to let go of, and placed them in Yamanaka Ino's arms.

"Eat something, or Choji will eat it all."

Yamanaka Ino paused slightly, "Ah... okay, thank you."

Haruko Hayama, who was secretly observing, was excited: "Great, great, I've got this! Shikamaru is going to score big!"
