Chapter 104: A Pleasant Day
After Maito Gai left with his students, Kamizuki Hikari emerged from the restroom.
Gazing at the towering tree flourishing under the nourishment of the surrounding restrooms, Hikari felt a surge of pride.
’Rest in peace, Danzo!’
’Your remains are well taken care of. We won’t let you down.’
’You did so much for Konoha in life. Now, in death, let us contribute to your growth!’
"Hikari-senpai, you’re here early!" Shikamaru arrived ahead of the scheduled meeting time, surprised to see Hikari already present. Was this really the same lazy senpai he knew?
Hikari offered a mysterious smile.
’All thanks to that bastard Kakashi. If it weren’t for him, I’d still be in bed!’
"So, Shikamaru, did you train hard after getting home yesterday?"
As part of the Ino-Shika-Chō trio, the three were roughly equal in talent, differing only in their areas of focus.
Shikamaru’s face twisted awkwardly. Truthfully, he hadn’t trained at all.
