Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

Shikamaru took me to the rooftop.

After closing the door and making sure no one else was there, he looked at me, "You changed in front of Naruto this morning?"

I nodded blankly.

"Yeah. Naruto borrowed my pajamas to wear, and I need to change before I go back to the orphanage."

"I mean, you changed it in front of Naruto?"

I was even more confused: "Yeah?"

"Naruto said that you don't understand a lot of common sense, and he himself doesn't understand a lot of things, but now it seems that he still has more common sense than you."

I felt a little unhappy when Shikamaru said that.

Naruto is six or seven years older than me!

And I’m not stupid. I never studied before, but now my grades are pretty good, aren’t they?

Shikamaru emphasized to me: "You are a girl, you cannot change clothes directly in front of the opposite sex."

"Ah." It suddenly dawned on me, "No wonder Naruto called me out when I was changing this morning, and then said it was nothing."

"Because he's also an idiot!" Shikamaru said unhappily, "He just asked me: 'Can Chaolu change clothes right in front of me? I seem to have heard somewhere that this is not right, but I'm not sure. Did I remember it wrong?'"

"I see!"

These details are not mentioned in the scroll, and I really don't understand them.

After all, what are the differences between men and women besides their body structures? Should we avoid each other's bodies just because of the differences in structure?

Seeing my reaction, Shikamaru covered his forehead and said, "You two... are such a worry. Is it really okay if you really live together in the future..."

"If there's anything you don't understand, can you ask Shikamaru?"

"I don't know everything!"

"But, you should know more than us, right?"

...Shikamaru didn't look like he wanted to deny it.

"And." He paused: "Under what name do you and Naruto live together?"

I remembered that Naruto had mentioned "family" several times last night, so I answered Shikamaru like this.

"Family...? They are not blood relatives... so they are stepbrothers and sisters?"

I didn’t really care about that, and I didn’t understand the difference: “Is…right?”

He sighed: "Forget it, as long as you are happy."

Shikamaru said as he was about to leave, and I quickly grabbed him.

"Shikamaru!"

"how?"

"I have something else I want to ask you, is that okay?"

"what?"

"You said I can't just change clothes in front of Naruto, well... no one has ever told me that I can't do that before. I also did something else to Naruto yesterday... I don't know if that was wrong too."

"For example?"

"When Naruto falls asleep, he curls up and I hug him. He's so cute, just like a little animal!"

Shikamaru's eyes widened.

I immediately became nervous: "...Is it not possible?"

"How did you hold it?"

I opened my arms towards Shikamaru, hugged him without thinking and demonstrated, "Like this."

But he pushed me away suddenly, and I was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

He quickly came to help me up: "Are you okay?!"

"It's okay..." I held his hand and stood up, a little frustrated: "I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?"

He was a little flustered: "No... you just hugged me suddenly, and I was startled and subconsciously... I'm sorry. Is that all the hug? What else did you do?"

"Well..." I said in distress, "I heard that sleeping in the same bed overnight is a very intimate act, more intimate than holding hands, hugging, and kissing, so I thought that since we have slept in the same bed, we should be able to do the previous intimate acts. So I kissed Naruto before I left, and Naruto kissed me too."

"Where did you kiss?" Shikamaru asked, then quickly said, "No need to show me! Just point it out!"

I pointed to my cheek.

"Kiss on the cheek."

I asked him, “Is it not possible?”

"No."

"why?"

"Because... that's something you can only do with someone you like."

I was shocked.

Could it be that Shikamaru saw that I had no idea what love was, and that I was approaching Naruto for the mission, or had ulterior motives?

"You mean... I don't like Naruto?"

"How would I know what you're thinking? But you clearly seem to like him very much."

Only then did I feel relieved.

It seems that my behavior did not appear suspicious.

"Then if I like Naruto, then there's no problem doing these, right?"

"No." Shikamaru said, "Naruto has to like you too! And we have to be a couple!"

"Why? It's so troublesome. If I think it's okay, wouldn't it be fine if Naruto thinks it's okay too?"

"Asaroko," Shikamaru called my name seriously, "Family, friends, and lovers are different. Same-sex friends and opposite-sex friends are also different."

I immediately took out the seriousness of listening to the lecture in class: "Please speak."

"Well, take Ino and I for example. We have known each other since childhood and are family friends. We will probably be friends for life... but I won't kiss her, and she won't kiss me! It's not that our relationship is bad, but because... friends don't do that!"

"Then you won't hug Ino after she falls asleep?"

"…No! We won't spend the night in the same bed!"

"But, but...what if Ino curled up into a ball, small and soft, and looked really, really cute?"

Shikamaru pinched my face again, gritting his teeth and saying, "There is no such possibility. Don't quibble."

"Hmm..." He pinched my cheeks and I spoke a little unclearly: "Then maybe Ino will find Shikamaru curled up in a ball very cute?"

"I said no!"

"I see..." I nodded vigorously, "Friends wouldn't do that! What if it's family?"

"Family..." Shikamaru let go of me, "I don't know. If it's brother and sister, I don't have a sister, and I don't understand how brother and sister should work."

"If they are siblings, it would be normal for them to think their brother is cute and hug him to sleep, right?"

"Usually it's the older brother who thinks his younger sister is cute!"

"Why can't a sister think her brother is cute?" I added, "Besides, if they are family, it's okay to get up early and kiss each other, right?"

"But……!"

"But?"

"But it would be weird if Naruto had a girl he liked."

I was stunned: "Yes, it is said that love is exclusive. If Naruto has a lover, I can't always stay close to him."

Shikamaru said, "If you have a lover, kissing is the lover's privilege."

I pondered, "So it's better for me to be Naruto's lover than his family, right?"

Shikamaru said, "You can't become that just because you want to."

"Shikamaru knows everything, there must be a way!"

"…There's nothing I can do. This is the only thing I have no idea about."
