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

After lunch, Naruto took our dishes to the recycling point, and Sasuke asked me, "Are you sleepy?"

"Ok?"

"Didn't you say you didn't sleep well last night? If you're sleepy, you can lean on me for a while."

"But you didn't sleep well either, did you?"

"I'm fine."

"Wow," I looked at him in curiosity, "You really act like a brother, Sasuke!"

"Do you want to rely on it?"

I leaned on his shoulder and looked at the workers who were busy again. Although I felt a little sleepy, I didn't want to close my eyes.

"Can't you become Mikoto's mom and sleep with me?"

"…I told you it's only possible on your birthday."

I sighed sadly: "I miss her so much."

"Heh," Sasuke remained unmoved, "Aren't you thinking about that person named Bai?"

When Mr. Dazna finished his work for the day, we would accompany him to the depressed market in the evening to buy scarce and expensive vegetables and meat.

Many shops in the market had their doors locked, and the few that were open only had very limited variety of goods.

Not only were there thieves rampant, but there were also many ragged children with eager looks on their faces, chasing after outsiders like us and begging with their hands outstretched.

I asked, “Once the bridge is built…will everything be okay?”

Mr. Dazna said firmly, "It will get better."

I wonder how everyone in the future is doing now?

Will someone ask Shikamaru-sama this question too - "It's been so long since Asaro was gone... will everything really be okay?"

Will Lord Shikamaru also believe in me so firmly?

Will Lord Shikamaru say, "Asaro will definitely succeed."

Sasuke asked me, "Who are you thinking about now?"

"...Shikamaru." I said, "He's very smart. If he were here, I wonder what he would come up with? And Ino, Shino... Is everyone else's mission going smoothly...? This is the first time I've been away from everyone for so long."

Naruto thankfully said, "Luckily, Asano and I are in the same group, otherwise we wouldn't be able to be together like this all the time! If I could only be like Shikamaru and Shino, always wondering what Asano is doing now, I definitely don't want that!"

"Will Shikamaru and Shino miss me too?"

"Of course!" Naruto said, "Let's not talk about Shikamaru for now. Isn't Shino your love partner? It would be too unreasonable for him not to think about you!"

"Hmm..." I think what Naruto said makes sense, "Then I have to think more about Shino."

Naruto was unconvinced and said, "Sasuke, why are you suddenly glaring at me for no apparent reason?"

Thinking of Shino, I couldn't help but reach into my waist bag and touch the bell he gave me. The parasites inside flew out and landed gently on my fingers. Occasionally, the movement of the insects' wings brushed my skin, making me feel a little itchy.

I retracted my hand and said, "By the way, Mr. Dazna, do you have any fireworks for sale here?"

"Fireworks?" Mr. Dazna thought for a moment and shook his head. "Even daily necessities are in short supply now. I guess no one is selling that kind of stuff anymore."

I was a little disappointed: "Is that so..."

However, there is nothing that can be done as Wave Country is short of supplies.

Sasuke suddenly touched my fingers gently.

I turned around in confusion and he said, "I'll show you something when I get back."

"what?"

"You'll know then."

He spoke in a very mysterious way, and as soon as we got back to Mr. Dazna's house, I couldn't wait to ask what it was, but Sasuke said in a mysterious way that he couldn't tell me until after dinner.

After we finished our meal and it was almost dark, he asked me to go to the porch outside the house.

"Give."

With the help of the light from the window, I saw that he was holding a few fairy wands.

My eyes widened: "How did you get this?!"

"I brought them from Konoha." Sasuke said, "The Land of Waves is by the sea, and I bought a few before I left."

"But—didn't I remember nothing at that time?"

"Yes." He said softly, "But an agreement is an agreement. Even if you don't remember it, I have to abide by it. However, if it's that kind of large fireworks, I can't bring it here."

"That's enough! Sasuke, thank you!"

He raised his head and looked at me with a gentle and peaceful expression.

I think his expression really looks like Mikoto's mother. However, he only transforms into Mikoto's mother on my birthday. No matter how much I beg him, he will never use the transformation technique at other times.

Sasuke told me his mother's name and showed me old photos of his family.

But there was a damage on each photo, and the existence of one person had been completely eliminated - Uchiha Itachi's figure was either torn off or his face was dug out.

"The fact that you can remember it is already a pleasant surprise..." Perhaps recalling the scene at that time, Sasuke's voice became low: "In fact, I can't tell whether it is a shock or a surprise..."

"I'm fine now, right?"

"Huh, that's easy for you to say." Sasuke stuffed the fairy wand into my hand, "I only bought ten, all of them are yours."

"Sasuke doesn't want to play?"

"No, I'll just watch you."

"Then I want to go and ask Naruto to come along!"

"..." He was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to me: "Give me half."

"Eh?"

"Instead of asking you to give him half, why not give it to me?"

I gave Sasuke five fairy sticks and excitedly went back to the house to find Naruto and Kakashi: "Naruto! Kakashi! Sasuke brought fireworks, do you want to come and see?"

Naruto immediately responded positively, and Teacher Kakashi thought about it and slowly followed him out.

Sasuke had already lit a sparkler. He lowered his eyes and looked at the place where the fireworks were jumping brightly, looking a little unhappy.

However, as soon as Naruto came over, the atmosphere became lively.

Although Sasuke always looked disdainful towards Naruto, he still gave him two fairy wands and helped him to light fire using fire jutsu.

I also gave two to Kakashi-sensei and prepared to go find Sasuke to start the fire.

But Kakashi-sensei stopped me.

He helped me light the fire with a smile, "As for fire escape, I can do it too."

Sasuke and Naruto gathered together and noisily lit up two clusters of fireworks, while Teacher Kakashi and I were on the other side, and he seemed to have something to ask me.

"Zhaolu, do you remember anything about your life?"

"Kakashi-sensei...I'm sorry."

"Ok?"

"Sasuke and I... I opened my eyes when we were in the hospital for a sparring match. Sasuke guessed that I wanted to come to Konoha to recognize my relatives... but I lost my memory. But because of this, I was able to avoid Uchiha Itachi... We were worried that if Uchiha Itachi knew of my existence... he might target me, so Sasuke and I agreed not to tell anyone."

"Besides this, Chaolu, do you remember anything else?"

I looked into his eyes. I don't know if it was due to the awakening of the Sharingan, but I seemed to be more sensitive to other people's emotions.

I could feel a deep scrutiny in Kakashi-sensei's eyes when he looked at me.

I shook my head. “I can’t remember anything.”

"Asaka was injured so badly before, maybe she has internal injuries. After returning to Konoha, I will take Asaka to get a detailed examination."

Teacher Kakashi's tone was very gentle, as if it was no different from before.

"Ok."

After agreeing, the sparklers in our hands had already burned to the final stage, but I didn't actually appreciate them.

Watching it burn out, I felt an indescribable mixture of emotions.

“Ah…it’s out.”
