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

Naruto sent me to the entrance of the orphanage. He reluctantly let go of my hand and said in an unwilling tone: "When can Chaolu live with me...? We both want to stay together, but Chaolu still wants to live in the orphanage..."

"Hmm," he said, and I began to think about this question: "Maybe becoming a Chunin is enough? Chunin is already a team leader level. If I can take charge of a mission independently, I should be able to leave the orphanage and live on my own."

"So how do you become a Chunin?"

"Just pass the Chunin exam, but the Chunin exam is very difficult. It is said that many people only become Genin after taking the exam for their entire lives."

"Asaka and I definitely won't do that, because our target is the Hokage!"

I was amused by him, "Yes, we can definitely pass it!"

After parting with him, I returned to the courtyard.

Before entering the door, I glanced in the direction of the Uchiha residence, but I had no idea how the situation would change after the physical examination tomorrow. Even if I went to find Sasuke now, I didn't know what I could do. No matter what I did, tomorrow might bring about drastic changes. It would be better to wait and see what would happen after tomorrow before taking any action.

The next day, Naruto arrived on time at nine o'clock. The two of us were skipping stones on the river bank near the orphanage while waiting for Teacher Kakashi.

It was not until about eleven o'clock that he appeared in front of us with a lack of motivation.

As soon as he saw him, Naruto shouted angrily: "That's too much! It was Kakashi-sensei who said it was nine in the morning!"

"Sorry, sorry..." Kakashi accepted Naruto's dissatisfaction and smiled as if he didn't intend to explain and fooled us like children: "Well... I tried to find a way out on the road of life for a while."

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

"But speaking of which, Naruto, why are you here?"

Naruto said confidently, "Because Chaolu has to go for a checkup today, I have to accompany her."

"You two really have a good relationship. But, isn't Sasuke here?"

Before I could say anything, Naruto was already standing in front of me. "Teacher Kakashi, why are you talking about something that is not relevant? Really, adults don't know how to talk at all!"

"The only thing I don't want is to be told this by Naruto..."

He didn't stop Naruto from accompanying me, but on the way to the hospital, Kakashi suddenly said, "It was said that someone saw the ghost of the Fourth Hokage yesterday. Do you know what happened?"

Naruto and I looked at each other, and my eyes clearly said to him, "I told you that you are becoming too much like the Fourth Hokage."

Naruto wrinkled his nose at me jokingly, which meant that he would never admit it: "No."

I asked, "What did they see the Fourth Hokage doing?"

Kakashi-sensei had a subtle expression: "Well... I heard he was shopping with a strange black-haired woman."

Naruto said carelessly: "You must have recognized the wrong person!"

"The place where it appeared is near Naruto's house."

"But I didn't see any ghost of the Fourth Hokage. Chaolu and I were always together, right?"

I looked at Naruto, then at Teacher Kakashi, and said "hmm" hesitantly.

Sometimes, I thought Naruto must be playing dumb, but looking at his flawless expression, I couldn't help but suspect that he might really be completely unaware.

...but can anyone really be this insensitive?

Sometimes, I feel that Naruto, who seems easy to understand, also has mysterious aspects that are hard to see through.

Finally, we arrived at the hospital.

As we got closer to the hospital, Kakashi-sensei and I talked less and less. I don't know if Naruto noticed something, and he also fell silent, just holding my hand silently.

Just as we stepped into the hospital gate, a slightly stiff voice came from the side: "Too slow."

I turned around in surprise and saw Sasuke.

Naruto was also quite surprised: "Why are you here?"

Sasuke said to me, "Aren't you going to have a physical examination?"

I asked uncertainly, “Are you waiting for me?”

"Did I just get up early this morning to train and come to the hospital to rest?"

Although his tone was not very good, I could tell that he was waiting for me.

But... but...

Aren't we arguing?

Haven't I yet gained his forgiveness?

Shouldn't Sasuke refuse to get close to me before we make peace?

Oh no, the experience I accumulated from previous quarrels with Shikamaru... why does it feel like I have no way to refer to it?

Kakashi-sensei smiled and said, "I was saying that, given the relationship between Sasuke and Asaka, it would be weird if Naruto came but Sasuke didn't."

Can Kakashi-sensei guess it?

Does he know why?

I subconsciously wanted to ask him, but I was not sure whether he would answer me.

Kakashi said, "However, it is not convenient for others to be present during the examination performed by Chaolu. You two should wait here."

"No!" Hearing this, Sasuke frowned, and Naruto objected: "I want to stay where I can see the morning dew!"

Maybe it was because I told him too much about my anxiety last night, so when Naruto heard that Kakashi-sensei was going to take me away today, he looked at Kakashi-sensei with a look of vigilance.

Kakashi-sensei asked quietly, "What are you worried about? This is Konoha, no one will hurt her."

Naruto remained unmoved, "Then why can't I stay with her forever?"

Sasuke keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and he asked, "What items will Chaolu check? Will there be any effects on the body?"

Teacher Kakashi looked at me and said, "Asaro, do you want them to stay with you forever?"

"I……"

I met Naruto and Sasuke's gaze and asked myself, do I want to?

"It's okay," I smiled at them, "Kakashi-sensei will be with me, I can go on my own."

If everything is ok after the checkup, I can still go back to them. If the situation changes after the checkup...

Then I will face the consequences alone.

I might resist and run away, but I hope Naruto can stay in Konoha, and I hope Sasuke will not conflict with Konoha.

"Teacher Kakashi," Naruto stared at him with his blue eyes, "Can you promise to bring Chaolu back?"

"……I promise."

……

Sensei Kakashi took me into the hospital alone. I wanted to look back at Naruto and Sasuke again, but I was afraid to meet their eyes.

It was difficult to convince them to wait outside. It would be difficult to deal with them if they changed their minds.

Teacher Kakashi silently led me towards the depths of the hospital. I don't know how many doors we passed through, but there were fewer and fewer patients around us.

He suddenly said: "Naruto and Sasuke both care about you."

"Naruto thought that he and I were both alone, so... and after Sasuke knew that I had the Sharingan, he probably regarded me as a member of the clan."

"Besides them, there are many people who care about you."

For example, Shikamaru, Shino, Ino and others?

Is Kakashi-sensei telling me that if I were a spy, I would have deceived their feelings and done something extremely egregious and reprehensible?

Or was he trying to comfort me, telling me that the village had no ill will towards me? It was just that my situation was special, and even if it might hurt me, they had to eliminate the hidden danger for the sake of the overall situation.

But I didn't dare to ask, and he didn't say anything else.

Finally, we stood in front of another big door, and Kakashi-sensei said to me, "You have to go in by yourself, Asaka."

Now that we're here, I have no reason not to cooperate.

But just as I walked forward and was about to push open the door, I paused and couldn't help but look back at him.

...After I go in, maybe I won’t be able to call Kakashi “teacher” anymore, and he won’t speak to me so gently anymore.

So, I want to ask him one last question.

I don't want to walk into an unknown future with this question, but I also don't want to miss the answer that can be obtained the fastest.

"Kakashi-sensei..."

"Ok?"

"Why...Sasuke and I had a fight and haven't reconciled yet...but why did he come to me today?"

"You just had a fight, but it doesn't mean he doesn't value you anymore."

I was slightly startled.

"Fighting is very common, and the way to reconcile is not just one person apologizing and the other accepting," Kakashi said softly as if he was saying goodbye to me: "For example, between family members... no matter how fierce the fight is, reconciliation may only require one question, 'What do you want to eat'?"

"Is this... okay?"

No need to say sorry or excuse me, just say "what do you want to eat?"

I was a little surprised, "Thank you, Kakashi-sensei."

"You're welcome."

He looked at me, and looking at his exposed eye, I suddenly felt that perhaps Kakashi-sensei was under the same pressure as I was.

Maybe he also hoped that nothing would happen, but he had to be prepared for unexpected events.

Naruto and Sasuke are waiting for me to come back, so what about Kakashi? Is he also waiting for me, hoping to take me back?

But the adult didn't say anything. He just looked at me silently, ready to bear all the consequences alone.
