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

At this time, the voices of Sasuke and Naruto came from the shore: "Asaro!!!"

I quickly replied: "I'll be back soon!"

"Hurry," I grabbed Bai's arm, "We have to go to the sea where the fireworks are set off."

Bai followed me docilely and swam forward.

We were getting farther and farther away from the shore, and it was getting darker and darker around us. We could see nothing except the sound of the waves rushing around us.

I would call out Bai's name from time to time to make sure he was still around me: "Bai?"

"Ok?"

"white?"

"Ah."

"Where are you?"

He reached out and touched me gently.

I asked curiously, "How do you know I've been there?"

He never called me once. Could it be that the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village are better at seeing at night than the ninjas from Konoha?

Or is it that Zabuza is good at finding enemies by sound in thick fog, so Bai is also more sensitive to sound? Can he determine where I am based on the swimming sounds I make?

Bai's voice was full of laughter: "Every time I want to make sure you are there, you will call my name first."

"is it?"

"Yes."

So I made up my mind that next time I wanted to call his name, I would just hold back and wait and see when he would take the initiative to call me.

I swam forward, no longer sure that Bai was still beside me, but...

From the shore, the sea surface reflecting the fireworks seems not far away, but when you are really there, every piece of sea surface seems to be the same.

Which sea am I looking for?

"Morning dew."

Ah! You called my name in vain!

I happily replied, “Yeah!”

"Are you doing well in Konoha?"

I was stunned. "Why do you ask? I'm doing pretty well. Most importantly, I have a lot of friends."

"Because I'm a little worried about you, and I don't want today to end. Maybe it's because I'm resisting the arrival of tomorrow. So I'm wondering if Chaolu doesn't want to return to Konoha."

How could I not want to return to Konoha?

But just when I subconsciously wanted to object with a smile, I remembered the scrutinizing look that Kakashi-sensei gave me after he said he would take me for a check-up.

Even though I had decided to go with him for the checkup, deep down, maybe I really did want to escape.

“…That’s not true.”

Bai came closer gently, "That's good. But it's too late now, it's not suitable to swim too far, Chaolu has to travel tomorrow, let's go back."

I really don’t know where to go, but I don’t want to go back.

"Next time we meet, I'll find a small boat, and we'll sit in the boat and watch the fireworks again on the sea with the fireworks reflected on it, okay?"

"Will there be a next meeting?"

He answered me affirmatively: "Yes. Definitely."

“It feels like a reward.”

"award?"

"Yeah... As long as I get through a difficult period, I'll be rewarded with the ability to meet Bai again. That's the feeling."

"Although I'm glad that Chaolu considers meeting me as a reward, I still hope that Chaolu won't have a hard time."

"Me too! I hope Shiro doesn't have a hard time too!"

I hope my friends and the people they care about don’t have to face hard times. I hope people all over the world don’t have to face hard times.

After we agreed on how to contact each other, Bai was quiet for a moment: "Let's go, I'll take you back."

We followed the lights along the beach so we wouldn't lose our way, and soon we were back to where I jumped into the sea.

Sasuke was holding a blanket in his arms, waiting in the corridor with Naruto.

Naruto leaned on the railing, looking far away with a worried look on his face. When he saw us, he immediately stretched out his arms in surprise, like a lighthouse guiding the returning ships at night, waving his arms and shouting to me: "Chaolu! This way!"

I pressed down on the floor of the corridor, propped myself up and sat on the edge of the corridor. Sasuke immediately wrapped a blanket around me and said angrily, "You're on your period and you're still going in the water in the middle of the night! Do you have any common sense at all?!"

Bai was stunned: "Chaolu, are you on your period?"

"That doesn't matter."

Naruto frowned and said, "It is said that sharks will come over when they smell blood. I am so worried that Chaolu will encounter a shark!"

"It's just a shark!" I grabbed the blanket with one hand to wrap myself up, and raised my other hand with a fist and said, "I am the woman who will become the Hokage in the future!"

"Damn it! Even if my opponent is Chaolu, I won't admit defeat!"

"Okay! Let's compete fairly!"

Bai listened to our conversation and a very pure smile appeared on his face.

With the help of the light from Mr. Dazna's house, I finally saw him clearly in the sea.

His eyebrows were soft yet with a hint of heroism, his long black hair was draped over his shoulders, his fair and delicate face was wet, his eyelashes were moist and black, and his black eyes that reflected the light looked like stars in the sky, like a beautiful and extraordinary siren.

Come to think of it, although Bai is very pretty, he is a boy...right?

He always wears a high-necked inner garment that covers his neck completely, making it impossible to see his Adam's apple.

"Bai, are you leaving?"

This night is about to end.

Bai looked up at me. His expression and eyes carried a feeling that I couldn't describe, but it was like there was an invisible magic that kept me where I was, unable to separate from him, and unable to say anything that would speed up the separation.

Maybe it was my illusion, but I thought, maybe Bai Ye didn't want to be separated from me, and didn't want this night to end.

I simply said, "There's one more thing I want to do...but I don't know if it will offend you."

Bai was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?"

"The ninja from the Hidden Mist Village...can you please pull down your turtleneck and show us your Adam's apple?"

Bai looked a little confused. He pulled down his collar, revealing a long, slender neck: "Like this?"

Somehow, it was just a neck, but I suddenly felt very shy.

“I’m so sorry!” I didn’t know why I covered my face and lowered my head. I just found it hard to look him in the face. “Because I think Bai is a man, but sometimes I think Bai is very cute, too cute to be a boy.”

"It's not just Chaolu who said that. Many people have admitted their mistakes." Bai smiled: "But I am indeed a man. So I have met Chaolu's request. Can I also do something I want to do, but it may offend you?"

Is it an equal exchange?

That's fair too.

"good?"

Although I don't know what it is, I am confident that Bai will definitely not do anything to hurt me.

Bai held out his hand to me: "Can you come closer?"

"okay."

I leaned over him until my forehead was almost touching his.

He held my face gently, and then something very soft and tender touched my forehead.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!!!"

Bai quickly dived into the sea. I was horrified and turned to look at Sasuke beside me: "Why did you use the Great Fireball Technique at such a close distance?! It almost burned my hair!!"

Sasuke's face was livid and he ignored me completely. He just stared at the sea, as if trying to find any trace of Bai.

Soon, Bai's voice came from not far away. His tone was light and his voice was clear, so he should not be injured: "Zhaolu, see you next time!"
