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

I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

At that moment, I suddenly understood Teacher Kakashi.

When I asked him if he had ever thought about killing me, he didn't give me a direct answer. Maybe he didn't want to mislead or deceive me, but rather he didn't want to hurt me.

Perhaps my question, to a certain extent, completely denied his concern and feelings for me.

It's good to speak your mind, but sometimes the unvarnished truth can be hurtful.

The same thing, expressed in different ways, gives people completely different feelings. However, under Sasuke's questioning, I didn't know how to modify the fact that "I might think of Bai" so as not to hurt him.

I have never compared Sasuke and Bai, nor do I feel that there is any difference in how good they are to me. I am very grateful for their kindness, but at that time, Sasuke was not just about the size of the fireworks.

Teacher Kakashi said at that time that he would take me back to the village for examination, and I had no way of concentrating on simply appreciating the fairy wand.

In short, there may be many objective reasons, but what appears to be the case is that I cannot answer them.

Because I don't want Sasuke to get hurt, nor do I want to lie to him.

I desperately wanted to make him understand that this didn't mean he was unimportant to me, didn't mean I ignored his feelings, and didn't mean I didn't think his fairy wand was insignificant, but the more I worried about him being sad and angry, the more speechless I became.

Just like when I faced Kakashi teacher and felt that not answering was also an answer, Sasuke would obviously think of the same answer.

"Look," he said calmly and indifferently, "you're not thinking about me."

"I don't want to lie to you..."

Sasuke sneered, "Thank you very much."

He walked away without looking back. I could only stand there, staring at his back blankly, but couldn't think of a useful word to say.

Sasuke and I didn't say a word until we got off the boat and returned to the village.

Sasuke seemed to treat me as air. I could understand his sadness, so I thought it was okay to bear it.

When they returned to the village, it was already evening. Kakashi-sensei announced: "Well, this mission is officially completed. Everyone can go home now. Everyone has worked hard during this period. Go home and have a good rest!"

Sasuke didn't say a word and just turned and left.

Teacher Kakashi said to me, "Asaroya, I will go to the welfare home to pick you up and take you to the hospital at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Is that ok?"

"okay."

He should have noticed the conflict between Sasuke and me, but maybe he didn't know how to intervene. Although he looked at me for a while, he ultimately left without saying anything.

Naruto stayed until the end, and he asked me, "Asaka, did you and Sasuke have a fight?"

"Naruto, can I come to your house and talk to you?"

If I go back to the orphanage now, I might bump into Sasuke along the way. If we don't talk to each other, he will feel uncomfortable and I will feel awkward. It's better for me to wait for him to go home before leaving.

Naruto smiled brightly, "Of course! Asaka hasn't been to my house in a while!"

Looking at his smile, I feel that he is like a sunflower, as if he is always tirelessly chasing the sun, always so vibrant and full of energy, as if he will never be discouraged or lost.

Just looking at it will make you feel good.

But for such a Naruto, he could actually burst out such chakra full of negative emotions... He might not be as relaxed as he looks.

My eyes unconsciously fell on the side of his neck, where the mark of the curse I had bitten was no longer visible.

We walked together towards Naruto's house.

"Naruto... do you ever feel uncomfortable?"

"Of course there will be."

"Like what was it about?"

"When Chaolu isn't staying over at my house."

"what?"

"It's actually not that bad! It's just that when Chaolu first left, I felt the room was particularly empty, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. But after a few days, I got used to it and adjusted myself."

"So has Naruto ever been angry with me? Have I ever done anything to upset Naruto, but I never realized it?"

"No."

"Not even once?"

"If I have to say, I would be unhappy if Chaolu wasn't happy and didn't tell me." Naruto hugged his hands behind his neck and looked up at the sky, "I would think... Chaolu didn't tell me anything, maybe she didn't want to be best friends with me. Sasuke has always been very popular... and he is related to Chaolu by blood, so of course I am happy that Chaolu has real relatives! But... with such a family, will Chaolu feel closer to Sasuke than to me..."

"I haven't thought about it that way!"

"Then why don't you tell me? Is it because I can't help? At times like this, I get really angry, but I'm angry at myself. Why can't I catch up with you and surpass that Sasuke guy? If I become stronger than that Sasuke guy, maybe I can help Asaka!"

"Naruto……"

I never thought that Naruto, who looks carefree, actually has so many delicate thoughts in his mind.

Naruto turned his head and looked at me: "Speaking of which, why did you and Sasuke quarrel?"

"Well..." I looked around and saw many passers-by on the street. "I'll tell you from the beginning when I get home."

"Home..." Naruto was slightly stunned, put down his hands and laughed, "Hehe," "Then let's go back quickly! I really want to talk to Chaolu!"

He grabbed my hand and said, "Hurry up, let's run back! Can Zhaolu still run?"

He pulled me to run, and looking at his beaming face, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Not bad."

"If you can't run, just tell me. I can carry Chaolu home!"

"I'm not that tired!"

We ran the last stretch of the way, but when we got back to Naruto's house, we were in no rush to chat.

Looking at the table, Naruto forgot to take the milk back from the refrigerator. It goes without saying that it is definitely not drinkable now.

There are also instant noodles that were not disposed of in time. The residue inside has fermented for about half a month and has even grown perfect mold.

"Chaolu, go take a shower first!" Naruto scratched his hair, a little embarrassed, "I didn't know Chaolu would come today, and I haven't cleaned the house before... I have to clean it first!"

I left some clothes at Naruto's house, so it was very convenient to change and wash them. Besides, I always felt like I couldn't relax when I was wearing dirty clothes from the journey at "home".

As long as you take a shower, you can snuggle comfortably on the sofa or bed and have a good chat, which is of course better.

When I came out of the shower, the house was indeed much cleaner.

While I was blow-drying my hair, Naruto took off his coat and changed the sofa cover. After I finished blow-drying his hair and helped him change the sheets and quilt covers, he threw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine and went into the bathroom.

By the time he finished his shower and changed into his pajamas, it was already dark outside the window.

I lay by the window and looked at the scenery outside, thinking, Sasuke should have returned home by now...

He should take a shower first and then rest... or if he still has energy left, he will continue training for a while?

As I was thinking this, Naruto picked up the hair dryer I had just put down and started drying my hair.

The whirring sound of the wind echoed in the house, and I felt both peaceful and lively at the same time.

"I'm done!" After a while, the sound of the hair dryer stopped, and Naruto rushed over and leaned against the window next to me, looking out the window and curiously asked: "What is Chaolu looking at?"

“I’m listening to the sound.”

"Any unusual noises outside?"

"No, it's the sound at home. Besides me, there's also the sound made by Naruto at home, which makes people feel at ease."

"Hehehe." Naruto rubbed his head against my shoulder, "Me too... As long as Asuro is here, I feel... great!"
