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

I had thought that even though the mind of that rebel soldier couldn't travel with me to the past all those years later, perhaps I could rely on the wisdom of young Shikamaru.

But he flatly rejected me, which made me very disappointed.

But I couldn't reveal the mission and tell him that this was a plan he personally made for the future.

First of all, it is difficult to convince him of this, and secondly, it is likely to lead to unnecessary variables.

I had no choice but to accept this reality and rushed back to the classroom with Shikamaru just as the bell rang.

I sat next to Naruto, listened to the class carefully, then finished reading "History of the Ninja World" after class. When I went to the library to return the book, I found time to start thinking about how to become Naruto's lover.

However, as soon as I walked outside the library door, I heard the teacher from the school infirmary chatting with the library teacher inside.

The teacher at the school clinic said, "Hey, isn't it said that there is a seven-year itch? I calculated, and this year is exactly the seventh year."

The library teacher said, "Are you tired? Or is your husband?"

"I don't know what he thinks, but I don't feel passionate anymore."

"How could that be! You were so enviable back then?"

The teacher in the infirmary sighed: "Maybe love will always turn into family affection in the end. No matter how deep the love is, it will eventually become a family."

I knocked on the door and the noise inside stopped immediately.

After I returned "General History of the Ninja World" to the library, I borrowed another book, "Encyclopedia of Ninja World Bloodline Limits".

I pretended I didn't hear anything, and the two teachers changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

But I kept these words in my heart.

If lovers will eventually become family, wouldn’t it be easier and safer to become family from the beginning?

After all, what is love all about?

In order to conduct research, I went home with Naruto after school. After we separated at the fork in the road, I did not go back to the welfare home, but went to the bookstore.

There are no books about love in the library of the Ninja School. I looked around in the bookstore and was quickly attracted by a promotional poster -

“The most authentic love! The emotional whirlpool of adults, which makes people deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves!”

I took a closer look and saw that it was advertising a book called Intimate Paradise.

"Intimate Paradise" is a series. The advertisement says that a new book is on the market. It has already been published to the seventh volume, and each volume is extremely popular and has been at the top of the bestseller list for many years.

With such high popularity, it must be recognized by many readers, and the descriptions in it should be the most credible.

I immediately had a goal and started looking for "Intimate Paradise" in the bookstore. Finally, I found the first volume of "Intimate Paradise" on a bookshelf marked "18X".

It is not placed very high, and an adult can easily reach it with his hand, but it is a bit difficult for me to do so due to my current height.

I stood on tiptoe and tried my best to reach the spine of the book, wanting to pull it out and have a look, but suddenly a hand behind me snatched it away from my fingertips.

I looked back and just in time to hear the other person say, "It's a little too early to be interested in "Intimate Paradise", Chaolu."

It's Hatake Kakashi.

He lowered his head and curled his eyes at me.

I was a little surprised: "Mr. Kakashi...? Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon. But this is an 18X bookshelf, so Chaolu is not suitable to come here yet."

“But…” My eyes were glued to the book in his hand, eagerly: “I have some questions, and I want to read this book to find the answers.”

Kakashi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is a romance novel."

"Yes, it's about love."

He was slightly surprised.

I looked up at his exposed eye. "Can't I have problems with love? Because I'm still young?"

As soon as he looked at my face, Kakashi's eyes wavered.

"I know that adults always think that children don't understand anything. But I think that children can also like someone, and their feelings may be more sincere than those of adults."

"...That's not what I meant." Kakashi paused, "So, what problem did Chaolu encounter? Did she fall in love with someone?"

I didn't know if it was a good idea to confide my troubles to Kakashi, so I hesitated for a moment.

He is a good man and someone you can trust, but because he is closely related to the mission, I must treat him with caution.

"Mr. Kakashi, after we graduate from the Ninja Academy, won't we be organized into a team of three?"

"Yeah. That's right."

"I want to be your student."

Kakashi was stunned.

"I want to be your student along with Naruto. If you are willing to be my lead jonin, I will tell you my troubles."

He smiled: "The graduation grouping is not something I can control."

I immediately wilted: "Then I won't tell you."

"Being my student is not necessarily a good thing. My assessment is very strict, and so far, no one has passed."

"Then I won't tell you."

"…Besides, Chaolu doesn't have to become a ninja, right? Not all students who graduate from the ninja school have to become ninjas. Wouldn't it be nice to do other jobs in the village after graduation?"

I shook my head: "Then I won't tell you."

My repetition was probably a little funny, and he was amused, "Okay, I get it, but why me?"

Of course I couldn't tell the truth: "Maybe it's not Naruto and I who need Mr. Kakashi, but Mr. Kakashi who needs us."

"Oh?"

"Mr. Kakashi himself said that because of the strict assessment, he has never formally taught a student. In that case... wouldn't it be lonely? I can't say anything else, but Naruto is very energetic, and he can definitely cheer up Mr. Kakashi."

"Hahaha, I see. Thank you very much. Now, can you tell me about your troubles?"

"No, please sign it."

I turned to the counter and asked the clerk to borrow a piece of paper and a pen. After writing the three words "Guarantee", I wrote another sentence: "I, Hatake Kakashi, hereby promise to Chaolu that I will become her team leader after she graduates."

After writing it, I handed him the paper and said, "Please sign here."

Kakashi signed his name obediently.

Looking at his patience, I suddenly felt like he was playing house with me.

But...even if this is just a playful guarantee, it is at least a guarantee.

He signed his name!

I asked again and again to confirm: "You are an adult, you will keep your promise, right?"

"Um...of course."

"Okay, since you said so, I will believe you."

I have no better choice but to believe him.

Kakashi watched me carefully fold the guarantee letter and put it away, and asked me with a smile: "A bookstore is not a good place to chat, why don't we go for a walk outside?"
