Hinata lost ultimately, there was no doubt that she would, the power gap was too much and more than that, it was clear that Hinata wasn't ready to seriously hurt Naruto in this fight, which technically was the only way to win against him seeing how much stamina he has.
"I lost…" Hinata had her head down while saying this. Not sure what she was thinking.
"Well, we all lost sometimes. Don't think too much about it, you did great out there." Shika smiles seeing the girl looking down at the ground with a disappointing look on her face.
Hinata just nodded slowly but still didn't directly look at Shika. Shika seeing the girl down can't help but sigh and slowly said to her while others weren't paying much attention.
"Let's get something to eat after this exam shall we, my treat."
Hinata nodded again.
"Good…
And don't bother calling others, let's celebrate how much stronger you have gotten alone. I don't wanna share Hinata's cute hamster-like face stuff with food with others." I replied with a wink, this was even more discreet but Hinata heard this clearly enough.
A heavy blush appeared on her face, now keeping her head down was more of a necessity for her.
And then she pouted at Shika.
"Shika Kun, stop teasing me," Hinata whined with a huff.
"HAhahaha…" Shika laughs but suddenly he moves closer to Hinata suddenly saying…
"Who said I am teasing, I'm death serious…" Shika said with a fake serious tone which suddenly gave her shivers.
"I call deeps on Hamster Hinata. Don't show that to others, that Hinata is mine…" Shika said in a deep voice and the next second Hinata's head exploded with an explosion, smoke coming out of it.
In a second the girl was reduced to a murmuring mess.
"Th..th..th..that…HShi…Ku…" She shutters like a broken record and Shika seeing this can't help but feel like just holding the adorable girl like a big panda and giving her a tight hug. She was too cute.
Though this finally firm his decision.
'Sorry Naruto, but I plan to give you some competition in this. Sue me if you wanna…hmph.' Shika thought of this with a smile, seeing the roasted tomato in front of him and thought it was worth it.
He laughed after that and quickly put some distance between him and the girl.
"Let's meet later okay, dinner on me." Shika waved his hands and moved on. Now he needed to talk with his other target.
---
The second match was between Kankuro and Shino, however, even here Kankuro gave up the fight before it started. Making the proctor start the third match between Shikamaru and Temari.
"Ah, take good care of Sister in Law…" Shika grinned looking at his cousin's annoyed and lazy look, seeing how he was muttering that he again had to fight with another girl.
"Ah, what are you talking about ?" Shikamaru asked with clear irritation.
"Nothing nothing… just have fun," Shika replied snickering as he saw Shikamaru enter the fighting area.
'Fine… now time to talk with Sasuke…' Shika also thought and slowly moved towards Sasuke who he only now saw was getting sandwiched between both Sakura and Ino.
"Sasuke…mind if I have a little talk with you," Shika asked not looking at the two little girls glaring at him, clearly displeased.
Sasuke all but jumped out of his seat and hurriedly left both the girls to their dismay.
Shika smiled helplessly seeing this and went walk a little further from them.
Sasuke now looked much like the Sasuke who fought with Gaara in the cannon.
Though he didn't win against Shika and didn't have to fight Gaara here but still he got special training from Kakashi thanks to Orochimaru going after him. Meaning he has learned Chidori by now. Though maybe he can't use it multiple times like the cannon.
"I was wondering why I didn't hear anything from you…" Sasuke replies first to Shika's surprise.
"Hmm really, seems like you did give some thought to what I told you last time," Shika asked without any hesitation.
Sasuke to this didn't directly confirm anything, but only Hmm to himself…
"Yes, Itachi is strong but not enough to kill the entire Uchiha clan, including my father." Sasuke begrudgingly admitted.
"Good, so now that we are on the same note, let's talk about the cooperation which I talk about.
I fully understand that you want to kill Itachi by your own hands, I have no problem regarding this, but if there are really more people involved in this then you alone are not enough, this I believe even you understand right ?" Shika said with a little narrowing of his eyes.
"…" Sasuke paused before saying anything.
"Tell me first who you suspect to be involved in what happened to our clan," Sasuke asked.
'Our, huh ?' Shika can't help but mutter and sigh, ultimately Sasuke is also a lonely child no matter how talented he is. Or how much he shouts all day about taking revenge.
"Sorry, but as I said, I don't plan to take any names without proof. Finding proof though, is the reason reason why I want your help in the first place.
Though I can give you this much, the person I suspect is a part of the village and I also believe that Orochimaru might have some information about this.
That's why actually I wanted your help. To get information from Orochimaru… I can't do it without you." Shika replied with a calculating look at Sasuke and the wanna-be avenger too narrowed his eyes, now fully understanding why Shika only showed his identity when he was getting targeted by Orochimaru.

With how Sasuke reacted, it was clear to Shika that he was in, just needed to show some proof now which he could do easily as long as everything went as planned.
But to do that, Shika first has to seal One Tail's chakra inside Gaara. That is crucial, in the anime Gaara was wounded by Sasuke and had to be taken out of the village, making the appearance of the One Tail outside the village, pretty much spoiling all the plans Orochimaru had for the Gaara, though of course if Naruto wasn't there then the plan might have worked ultimately the plan was flopped so there is nothing else to say.
It didn't take a long time for Shikamaru's and Temari's match to end and it pretty much went like the anime. Shikamaru gave up the fight in the end Temari won.
Finally, Shika's and Gaara's match was here. This was the match that people were looking forward to seeing. Actually, even Shika didn't know that he was hyped up quite a bit after his fight with Sasuke. Many now wanted to see his fight against Gaara.
Shika didn't care too much about what was going on in the village, he pretty much wanted to stay away from politics for as long as possible.
He was only looking for tangible power and not political power.
"Shika," Kurenai called out just before Shika was about to enter the fighting area.
"Kurenai sensei, what happened ?" Shika asked in confusion.
"Give up this match Shika." Kurenai didn't say anything but directly said this making Shika stiff, though he understood why she was staying this.
He, Sasuke even Hinata didn't see Gaara's and Lee's fight. Because they didn't know, but Kurenai knew and for someone who had taught Shika, she didn't want the same to happen to Shika.
"Don't worry Kurenai Sensei. I know what I am doing, I naturally have a way to handle this guy." Shika assured her and smiled, and though that didn't seem to solve Kurenai's worries, Shika didn't care anymore and entered the fighting area.
Genma looked at both the participants and his eyes lingered a tad bit longer on Shika, maybe he too knew about the S rank mission which Hokage gave him, Maybe?
"Start." Proctor finally said and the fight started.
But neither of the two participants moved, Gaara didn't move on his own, he wanted Shika to attack him first, maybe because he just wanted to drag the fight a little longer before killing the boy in front of him.
Shika didn't move because he wanted to see how much sanity Gaara retained right now, that would explain how much he could push the boy before finally sealing him.
Seeing the boy was calmly standing there, Shika just sighed… this meant that Shika had some time to prepare.
From now on, there were two ways that he could go… either drag the fight and give others a good show which is exactly what he was planning before, but now that he has already gotten the rewards for becoming a Chunin, he won't be doing all that to please others.
He plans to end this fight quickly and save his chakra as much as possible. With that thought his hand almost became a blur and the next second he internally called out.
'Hidden Mist Jutsu.'
The air shifted and mist started to form around him, this was harder to do than a month ago because this place was open with wind and at the same time this place was much larger to completely covered with mist.
But that's fine, he plans to end the fight soon anyway.
As soon as the mist appeared, others who were looking for a good fight frowned, they were there to watch a thrilling fight, not for this.
Orochimaru who was right now sitting beside Hokage frowned internally, he wanted to see Shika fight, but he knew that if Shika used this one jutsu he wouldn't be able to see him in action. But unlike last time he couldn't use wind jutsu to remove that mist, he was sitting beside the third Hokage, and there was no way to do that.
Only civilians were the ones who were mostly complaining. Shinobi kept quiet, ultimately they would know the result so there was no reason to complain that much.
Inside the mist, Gaara too wasn't able to see anything, he looked around trying to find Shika but he didn't have the kind of sense to pinpoint his opponent. But he didn't care honestly, he believed in his absolute defence, so he just waited for Shika to come to him.
Shika at this time was putting a barrier seal inside the mist. Not enough to stop a Biju but it can stop any chakra outburst which might leak later on and alert Orochimaru.
Once he was done and a small barrier was erected, he got ready to act.
He though had no sensing capabilities but due to his training and Zabuza's talent, he was able to pinpoint others in his mist infuse with his chakra pretty well.
He clapped his hand and pointed the tips of the finger at Gaara who was still standing in one place without moving, waiting for him.
"Convergence." Shika smirked, finally the technique was completed and he was eager to see how it had come along.
He stood in one place and increased the pressure of water in his palm, and just when the pressure was enough he fired.
A jet of steam line water ejected out of his palm, the speed was so fast that it rivalled some of the fastest lightning jutsu.
Before even Gaara could realise what happened, he felt something piercing him, only later on the pain hit him changing his usual calm tone.
