"Well, today was the final part of the Chuunin Exam! Finally I can see the fight between Temari and Shikamaru live! With my own eyes!" Recca, as a ninja wannabe, feels very eager to see Shikamaru vs. Temari, which he thinks is the only real ninja fight in the Naruto franchise. "This is very exciting."
"Recca-san, please don't act like a little kid and shut your mouth because right now, you look like an idiot fanboy who loves to stalk your idol!" Kasumi never likes it if someone acts like a fanboy in front of her. Because she has a trauma with a fanboy after one of her fanboys tried to kiss her. "Or I will make your body stiff like a statue so you cannot see the fight!"
Kasumi's threats are working, because in just a second Recca now shuts his mouth and walks like a normal person.
"Wow, you are amazing. Kasumi-Nee, you can make a Ninja Maniac like Recca act normal with only a couple of words," Ranma said while sweating badly because he knew really well how bad the anger of a girl with a Buddha heart like Kasumi was.
"That idiot is the victim of Kasumi-san's acupuncture technique when he accidentally hit the ramen bowl Kasumi-san made for Ranma. Of course he would be obedient to Kasumi-san after, a week ago, Kasumi-san made his body stiff for more than twelve hours outside the Senju Compound."
Keitarou is an expert in acupuncture because, as a member of the Urashima Clan, it was mandatory to learn acupuncture techniques. But he has never seen someone who can use acupuncture as well as Kasumi.

The first fight was supposed to be Neji vs. Naruto in the original timeline. But because the timelines are changing, now the first fight is Temari vs. Shikamaru. Naruto's main reason why he did not want to participate in the final part of the Chuunin Exam was because he didn't want to waste his time fighting an opponent who was much weaker than him.
Naruto feels his current strength is already beyond the scope of ordinary shinobi. So he does not want to attract attention by showing off his power. If he were still the old Uzumaki Naruto, then he maybe willing would show off his overwhelming power.
But Gojo showed him what would happen if he was arrogant and did not want to be humble. The arrogant, overconfident Gojo Satoru died at the hand of Sukuna, the King of Curses. Even though Gojo has a chance to win in his duel against the King of Curses.
Gojo is lucky enough that when he dies, his spirit is sent to the training room where he needs to teach Naruto for ten years. And as the payment for his service, he was sent back to the past for a second chance.
"Sigh, Shikamaru's chance of winning is one hundred percent, but I think he would give up when he was about to win the fight because he was too lazy to continue the next fight."
***
And just like the original timeline, Temari is almost beaten by Shikamaru, but he decides to give up and pretend that he is already consuming a lot of chakra. Even though his chakra is still plentiful. But this time Naruto has decided to add some ploy to prank Shikamaru. When Shikamaru's body is facing Temari, Naruto is pushing Shikamaru's body using his space manipulation ability.
And make Shikamaru's body fall down to Temari's body; Naruto has absolute control over his ability because of his Rinnegan (with a Rinnegan pattern on the top of his blue pupil), so pushing Shikamaru at the right angle was easy for him.
Shikamaru's lips are touching Temari's lips, just like what Naruto intended, after Naruto pushed Shikamaru's body. And the aftereffects are better than what Naruto expected.
Temari's face has become so red; she did not expect that in fifteen years of her life, her first kiss would be taken by a boy who was three years younger than her.While Shikamaru even though his faces was as red as Temari, what was inside his mind is chaotic and fear.
He didn't know how he could fall and then kiss Temari. And the fear he feels is because he just kissed a very dangerous girl. Shikamaru may not be a feminist, but his mother educated him to make him have enough knowledge about how important a first kiss is for a girl and what kind of reaction the girl would have if their first kiss was taken by someone.
***
Shikamaru's face looks so red, and there was a handprint on his face after Temari slapped Shikamaru with all her might until Shikamaru's body was thrown away three meters. Temari runs away from the arena after slapping her future husband's face. Shikamaru can feel a poignancy on his face and then said,
"Damn! What a troublesome girl!"
Naruto is laughing on the floor hysterically until he cannot stand up right after he sees the result of his prank.
"Ahahahahahahaha Shikamaru's fate with a girl is really bad, just like he always told me! But what just happened is bad luck and a fortune at the same time!"
"Oh my, Shikamaru-kun, are you really daring!" Hinata said with a blushing face because she imagined the same thing happened between her and Naruto.
"Obaa-san would love to know what Shikamaru has done to innocent women," Ino said with an evil smile on her face. "The result would be devastating!"
"You are so cruel, Ino," Chouji said while eating his snack. "But even I, as Shikamaru's number one friend, feel curious. What kind of reaction did Shikamaru's mother have when she knew her only son accidentally took away an innocent girl's first kiss?"
'The Nara men have bad luck with a girl or a woman kicking again once more, huh? In the past, Shikaku also had a similar incident with his wife before they became lovers, and now his son's bad luck with a girl is kicking in, huh? Well, I feel relieved that as a Hyuuga, my luck with a girl is better!' Hisazhi said while feeling sorry for the son of his friend.

On the platform where Hokage and Kazekage are sitting together, Orochimaru, who disguises himself as Kazekage, did not expect that his former teacher would be guarded by Tsunade and Jiraiya.
'Damn it! Why are Jiraiya and Tsunade the ones who become Sarutobi-sensei's bodyguards? If it were only Jiraiya! I may have a chance to kill Sensei! But with Tsunade also here, killing Sarutobi-sensei is impossible'!
Orochimaru's plan to kill Hiruzen was simple: at the right time, he would trap Sarutobi inside a flaming barrier and then have a duel to the death with him. But with his two former friends becoming the bodyguards of his former sensei, his plans are doomed to fail!
'Arrrgh, even though my plan to kill Sensei has failed! I hope my invasion plan would at least make Konoha's military power weaken! So that I will have a chance to show Anko that becoming a shinobi of a weak village is not worth it!'
Unknown to Orochimaru, his invasion plan would never work because Goku already killed all the low-level Oto Shinobi along with Ranma.While Kabuto, Orochimaru's right-hand man, is being choked by Keitarou outside the arena where the Chuunin Exam was being held. For Keitarou, enemies at the Kabuto level are nothing. Kabuto may be a Shinobi at Kakashi's level, but Kabuto is not on par with Kakashi in terms of battle experience. So far, Keitarou Kabuto was easy enemies to beat.
