A strand of Sun Wukong's consciousness returned the body back to Sakura, and Sakura, looking at the handwriting in her notes identical to hers, couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Shikamaru, however, sized up Naruto for a while.
"Why are you looking at me like that, dead-fish eyes?" Naruto asked.
"Nothing, it's just such a hassle," Shikamaru muttered his catchphrase, having probably guessed Naruto's identity.
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
