Chapter 86: Teaching the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio a Lesson
At eight in the morning, Training Ground 10 finally welcomed the new generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Watching Kamizuki Hikari and Tenten sparring in the distance, Shikamaru facepalmed with a sigh.
"We’re screwed..."
"What’s wrong?" Ino asked quietly, eyeing Shikamaru’s sudden distress.
"Nothing. I just hope Hikari-senpai goes easy on us." Shikamaru muttered, not elaborating further as Hikari and Tenten stopped their spar and turned to face the trio with faint smiles.
The three jogged over to Hikari.
"Hikari-senpai!"
"You three are a bit late today, huh?" Hikari rubbed his chin, sizing them up with a stern gaze. "Looks like you don’t take me seriously!"
"Um, Hikari-senpai, you didn’t specify a time yesterday, so we came at eight..." Ino raised her hand and explained softly.
Shikamaru glanced skyward. Great, now you’ve done it.
As a smart person, Shikamaru knew one fundamental rule—when someone held authority, arguing back only made things worse. And right now, Ino had just made that mistake.
