Chapter 103.2 : Shikamaru and Temari!

"In no time, everyone gathered in the auction area.

The distribution of Bloodline Limit List rewards was notably sluggish, lacking any refresh reward distribution. Nevertheless, the auction at hand wouldn't drag on for too long, ensuring no delay in observing the distribution of Bloodline Limit List Rewards.

Senju Hashirama promptly initiated the auction, setting the starting price at 500 gold coins—a non-negotiable amount established by the auction area.

Expecting few contenders for the question and answer card, the turnout surpassed their expectations, drawing a sizable crowd to the auction floor.

Suddenly, Tsunade made a dash for the auction.

[Senju Hashirama: Tsunade, hold your bids! Given your luck, ten bets yield ten losses. Choosing the question and answer card won't favor you!"

[Tsunade: Grandpa, I'm just here to watch."

[Senju Hashirama: No need. Quote a high price when the time comes; if others don't follow, the matter concludes!"

[Jiraiya: The First Hokage's advice is sound, Tsunade. Your gambling luck is notoriously poor; refrain from driving up the price, or you'll end up unfortunate, having to bid for the Q&A card yourself."

[Tsunade: Understood!

Tsunade soon decided to forgo bidding.

"Master, should we get involved?" Kumoko inquired.

"Do you wish to participate?"

Yasao queried.

"Yes, I want to acquire a Q&A card!" Kumoko nodded.

"Then participate in the auction. Anything unnecessary can be sold to Golden List for gold coins," Yasao suggested.

"In that case, I'll sell the low-level skills cluttering my body. They're useless to me anyway!" Kumoko remarked.

She quickly sold a variety of low-level skills, the kind she had figured out on her own, deeming them messy and inconsequential.

Despite being low-level, these skills held significant power for others.

"Agreed!"

Yasao approved.

In a blink, Kumoko successfully sold all her useless skills.

An unseen force then enveloped her, erasing all those skills along with the memories associated with them.

"This ability is terrifying—it wiped out my memory of cultivating those skills!" Kumoko exclaimed.

She understood her memories were gone but couldn't recall them. She vaguely remembered having those skills, yet now they eluded her.

"It's a supreme law. It erases your memory of cultivating these skills, akin to eliminating fragments of past time and space. It doesn't truly erase your soul's memory. Of course, if you're formidable enough to defy the laws of time and space, those memories will endure," Yasao explained.

"That's incredibly challenging!"

Kumoko remarked.

Glancing at her inventory, she now possessed over 3,000 gold coins—more than sufficient for bidding on a question and answer card.

"Hahaha, I'm going to start bidding!"

Kumoko began clicking the bidding button frantically, dispatching the competition one by one.

After eliminating the bidders, she finally secured the auction item at the price of 1380 gold coins.

[Senju Hashirama: So, it turns out Kumoko won the question and answer card at the auction.]

[Kakashi: She's Yasao's Summoning beast. Isn't she afraid of failing? 1380 gold coins is quite a hefty price!]

[Fourth Raikage: Money isn't an issue for them. Look at the treasures they've acquired before. They just got a bloodline card. Imagine the gold coins it would fetch at an auction – at least in the thousands!]

[Tsunade: Yes, wealthy and independent! They don't care about failure!]

[Senju Hashirama: Tsuna-chan, you can broadcast later, and I'll reward you with 1380 gold coins.]

[Tsunade: Thank you, grandpa!]

Kumoko promptly used the question and answer card, revealing an image in the live broadcast room.

It wasn't a video, just a picture featuring two people.

One resembled an older Nara Shikamaru, while the other bore a striking resemblance to the present Nara Shikamaru.

[Uzumaki Naruto: This guy looks like Shikamaru!]

[Nara Shikamaru: It's not just a bit, this is clearly me as an adult. I'm not young anymore!]

[Haruno Sakura: Who's that little brat?]

[Kakashi: Clearly, Shikamaru's son in the future?]

[Tsunade: The Nara clan's genes are potent. They share a strong resemblance with their ancestors!]

[Nara Shikamaru: Hahaha, he's as sharp as me when I was his age!]

Then, a question arose.

[Excuse me, with whom did Nara Shikamaru have a son?]

[Nara Shikaku: Hahaha, I'm curious about who my daughter-in-law is?]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Shikamaru, who do you like? Maybe that's the one!]

[Nara Shikamaru: I don't know!]

[Haruno Sakura: I think it could be Temari?]

[Temari: This guy is really good-looking, but marrying him...]

[Gaara: It would be great if my sister and Shikamaru were in the same clan!]

[Nara Shikamaru: I can't say for sure about the future.]

[Tsunade: If you're unsure, and since there's no clear contender for Kumoko, you can choose to mention Temari. Maybe she's the right one!]

"Master, what should I answer?" Kumoko asked Yasao.

"Just say Temari!" Yasao replied.

"Then I will listen to the master!" Kumoko responded.

Without delay, she announced in the live broadcast room that she had made her choice.

[Kumoko: Nara Shikamaru and Temari gave birth to a son in the future. "

[ Uzumaki Naruto: Kumoko actually answered like that!]

[ Haruno Sakura: If it is true, the two of you should be together now!)

[Nara Shikamaru: Naruto, Sakura, don't make trouble!)

[ Temari: What the hell, Shikamaru, you don't like this old lady?)

[Nara Shikamaru: Uh, nothing,

Just then, the answer was announced.

[Congratulations to Kumoko for the correct answer!)

[Nara Shikamaru:….

[ Uzumaki Naruto: Shikamaru and Temari are actually together! Shocked! ]

[ Haruno Sakura: It's normal, I've long since seen Shikamaru look at Temari wrongly!)

[ Yamanaka Ino: I think Shikamaru and Temari are a good match!)

[ Akimichi Chōji: I also think they are a good match!)

[ Temari: Shikamaru, it seems that we are really together in the future. I think you are also pleasing to the eye. If you make a statement, we will be together!)

Under the scrutiny of their peers, Shikamaru still confessed in the live broadcast room, and the two are considered together.
