In one of the animes i've watched (Full Metal Panic) one of the characters was shot in the head by a sniper rifle and managed to survive because there was a metal plate in his head that was surgically attached after his skull was cracked during a previous injury. The metal plate managed to deflect the bullet. If and this is a big "IF" Inaho had something similar happen to him when he was just a child it is possible that the bullet was deflected off of him as well.
