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

"Is being strong everything?... According to Sasuke's logic, since I am not as strong as Sasuke, I have no right to stand by your side. If I am not stronger than anyone else, I am a weakling. I am not worthy of being valued and loved, and I will be abandoned?"

Sasuke was stunned: "That's not what I meant. I was just talking about myself."

"Idiot." I glared at Sasuke angrily, but what annoyed me more was that I clearly felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know how to make it clear: "You are the idiot! An idiot even more stupid than Naruto! The value of a person is not judged by strength!"

Sasuke lowered his head and listened silently. He had been called a genius since he was a child, but he had probably never been called an idiot so many times.

But he didn't refute at all. A piece of white and slender neck was revealed from the wide collar. He looked so well-behaved and pitiful, even though he didn't talk back when I scolded him. Looking at the tooth marks on his neck that I had just made, I suddenly couldn't be angry anymore.

"Oh... forget it."

But Sasuke misunderstood something and suddenly grabbed my wrist.

When he looked up at me, there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"It's not like I don't want you, so forget it."

There was a hint of embarrassment on his face as I had exposed his secrets, but his grip on mine loosened slightly.

I stared at him, but I couldn't see the shadow of Uchiha Sasuke in later generations in him.

Such a scary man...

Such a fragile boy.

I untied the Mist Hidden Technique, and Sasuke slowly stood up from the ground. Naruto's voice immediately came from the second floor. Without Kakashi's teacher holding him back, he wanted to jump down directly: "Asaro! Sasuke! Are you okay?! I can't see anything in the fog. I just heard you talking, but I can't hear clearly-"

Ino had been nervously clutching Choji's scarf, but now she let go and put her hands on the fence, leaning her upper body out of the second floor, trying to get a closer look at who was more seriously injured between me and Sasuke. "How's it going, Asaka? Who won?"

Shikamaru was leaning on the railing, Shino was wearing sunglasses, with his head slightly lowered, half of his face buried behind his collar, their brows were frowned, and their expressions were not relaxed.

I looked at Gaara. He had his arms folded but looked calm. When he saw me looking at him, he nodded slightly and seemed to trust me.

...Believe in me what? Believe that I can win?

Yes, given Sasuke's current condition, if he continues to fight, he will definitely lose.

I looked at Moonlight Gale and raised my hand to him: "Teacher, I give up..."

In fact, I understood from the beginning that Sasuke was not suitable for an all-out battle at this time, but I selfishly only thought about my own feelings.

I am self-centered and think that since Sasuke will be so strong in the future and Orochimaru's curse seal will definitely not take his life, I arbitrarily judge that the problem with the curse seal is not a big deal.

Orochimaru might be here, and I don’t want to obey Kakashi-sensei’s wishes and just give up.

I want to express myself.

I want to prove that I am no worse than Sasuke. At least no worse than the current Uchiha Sasuke.

But why do I want to prove it, and to whom do I want to prove it...?

While I was only thinking about my own things, Sasuke risked his own death by fighting me because he cared about me.

As long as I continue to think about it, I will feel that I am stupid, and everything I insist on doing is very... meaningless.

Why am I hurting the people who care about me the most now for the sake of some people who don’t care about me now?

Sasuke is a completely innocent person who was hurt by my willfulness.

But before I could finish my words, Sasuke's voice sounded faster than mine: "I give up."

I was stunned for a moment and looked back at him in astonishment, thinking I was hallucinating.

Moonlight Gale was also a little surprised: "Are you sure?"

Sasuke hummed without looking at me, "My body can no longer fight."

I was sure that he had really given up: "What are you talking about?"

Uchiha Sasuke... How could such a proud person give up?

Sasuke said: "I can't beat you in the first place. Even if we fight to the end, I will lose."

"That's not the case at all! You've finally passed so many tests, but you quit before the last one. Wouldn't you be unwilling to do so?"

It would be nice if the difference in strength between Sasuke and I was really that clear. But because there are so many possibilities, I want to give it my all and try it out with him to see who will win.

Besides... my promotion is meaningless!

I wanted to say something else, but Gekkou Hayate had already walked up to me. He looked at Sasuke and said slowly, "Then, I declare that candidate Chaolu has advanced."

Instead, I became the one who anxiously wanted to dissuade him: "Wait a minute——!"

"Well, this is the Chunin Exam. Hokage has already fully explained the importance and seriousness of this exam." Kakashi teacher came down from the second floor at some point. He stood beside Sasuke and glanced at him with his eyes downcast. "Ah... what a troublesome student."

Moonlight Gale nodded at him and said, "Please take your students away. Time is running out. Now that the first game is over, I need to start the second game as soon as possible."

"Sasuke, let's go. The normal medical team can't handle your problem... follow me."

Just when I was at a loss, Kakashi teacher suddenly said: "Asaro, you come too."

I didn't expect Kakashi-sensei to talk to me, so I was stunned for a few seconds before responding, "Yes."

Sensei Kakashi put his arm around Sasuke's shoulders and led him out of the examination room, and I quickly followed.

As we pushed the door open to leave, I heard Gekkou Hayate announce the names of the candidates for the second exam from behind me: "Aburame Shino, Sakuteng."

I couldn't help but look back, but before I could see Shino, the door to the examination room was closed.

Teacher Kakashi took us to a room next to the examination room. Although it was still inside the tower, it was deeper underground than the examination room. Although there was light, it was very dim.

Sasuke glanced at me and said, "Why did you let Chaolu come along? Can't you just let her stay outside and see who will win?"

Teacher Kakashi didn't answer his question. He brought us to the edge of the light source, stopped and said, "Sasuke, come in with me."

That is to say, I stopped.

I stood still and watched him and Sasuke walk to the center of the light source. Kakashi-sensei said, "Sit down here."

Sasuke followed his instructions and sat at his feet. Kakashi-sensei said again, "Take off your clothes."

Sasuke was stunned: "What?"

"Just take off your shirt. I need you to show the bites."

Sasuke looked at me hesitantly, and I looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he was looking at me.

Sasuke: "..."

He turned his face away, said nothing, and took off his shirt.

Even after five days of struggling in the Forest of Death, in this dim basement, Sasuke's skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing.

I couldn't help but sigh quietly: "It's so white."

However, in this empty basement, even the slightest sound was extremely clear.

Sasuke's face suddenly turned red: "Don't say weird things!"

"?"

I'm just telling the truth, why wouldn't I be happy? Does Sasuke not like himself being too white and prefers himself to be darker?

Teacher Kakashi ignored our conversation. After he formed a seal, he placed one hand on the seal on Sasuke's neck. Suddenly, a black chain flowed from under his palm along Sasuke's skin, down his body, and shot out in all directions.

With Sasuke as the center of the circle, Kakashi threw kunai around, as if to determine the direction, or to fix the chains that spread to the ground and even on the surrounding pillars to the ground.

When the black chain stopped moving, I looked carefully and found that it was not a chain, but a group of black spells densely connected together, like a chain.

"Okay," said Kakashi, "There are only a few steps left. I need to use my own blood to draw the final activation spell on your body. If you feel any discomfort, please be patient."

As he said this, he pulled out a kunai and cut a scar on his palm. Blood flowed from his palm to his fingertips. I looked at the complex lines drawn one after another on Sasuke's thin body, and suddenly I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

I don't know why... I have an urge to touch him.

"All right."

When Kakashi-sensei said this, I suddenly came to my senses and I didn't know how much time had passed.

"last step."

He formed a seal again and pressed on Sasuke's curse seal. Last time, countless spells shot out like chains. Now, those chains seemed to have received a signal and shrank back from the outside to the inside.

Sasuke screamed in pain, which scared me. I subconsciously wanted to go over, but I didn't know if I could.

"Sasuke?!"

Sasuke's body fell forward, he supported himself on the ground with his hands, looked back at me with a tired breath, and gave me a forced reassuring smile.

"This is the seal to seal evil." Kakashi said, "If there is any abnormal movement of the curse seal, this seal can seal it. However, if your personal willpower is not strong enough, it will not work..."

So what does it mean to be determined?

I took a few hesitant steps forward, and when I saw that Kakashi-sensei didn't try to stop me, I rushed over to Sasuke.

...It sounds like an unreliable saying that if your heart is sincere, your wish will come true, and if it doesn't work, that means your heart is not sincere.

Sasuke, however, felt that what Kakashi said was full of flaws as I did. His eyes gradually became unfocused and he fell into my arms.

I was startled and subconsciously put my hand on his shoulder, but for some reason, because I had the urge to touch him just now, I felt that actually touching him would be a bad thing. I quickly retracted my hand and hid it in my sleeves, then hugged him through the fabric of my sleeves.

After Sasuke fell asleep, Kakashi-sensei and I were the only ones left in this dark and empty space. The originally quiet environment suddenly became almost dead silent. I wanted him to help pick up Sasuke's clothes, but I couldn't open my mouth.

What is Kakashi-sensei thinking about?

He definitely doesn't want to see me, so why did he ask me to come along?

At this moment, I heard footsteps in the darkness. Teacher Kakashi also noticed it. He turned around vigilantly and saw a strange figure emerging from the darkness.

"You've learned the sealing spell... Long time no see, you've become stronger again, Kakashi."

"Orochimaru...it's you."

I looked at their tense confrontation and thought of the memory of Orochimaru and Lord Kakashi living in harmony in later lives. I couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment.

Orochimaru looked at Kakashi, who was facing a great enemy, jokingly: "I'm not here to find you, you know that, right?"

"Have you got your eyes on Sasuke?"

"How dare you say that," Orochimaru stared at him straight in the face, "Sharingan... I've never seen you have it before. You already have it, so of course you can make light of it... Damn it, I also want to have Uchiha bloodline."

"Do you think I will believe you?"

"what do you mean?"

"You already know the Uchiha bloodline!"

Orochimaru showed a surprised look: "What?"

He didn't know what he was thinking about, and frowned: "Tsk, I've already left Konoha, don't let me take the blame for someone else."

"Someone? Besides you, who else knows Konoha and has the ability to control the Uchiha bloodline?"

Orochimaru stared at Kakashi, "You seem to be trying to trick me... Why, did something interesting happen that I don't know about?"

Teacher Kakashi immediately changed the subject: "If you came to Konoha just for Sasuke, it would be an exaggeration... What do you want to do?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, "I founded my own ninja village... Sound Village. If I can get an Uchiha... Which village can refuse the Sharingan? Isn't Konoha doing its best to keep this last Uchiha?"

He took another step towards Sasuke, and the sound of a bird singing suddenly rang out in Kakashi's hand!

The light emitted by Raikiri illuminated a wider area of ​​darkness.

"Don't take another step forward! Orochimaru! Even if I can't defeat you, at least I can die together with you!"

His decisive remarks only brought ridicule from Orochimaru.

"Do you think your sealing technique will work on Sasuke?" He said disdainfully: "As long as he can get power, no matter how evil or dangerous the power is... he doesn't care. Because he is an Avenger."

Orochimaru's eyes slid from Sasuke to me again: "This little girl, is she your student?"

I pursed my lips and hid Sasuke deeper in my arms.

I seem to understand what Lord Shikamaru once yelled at him - how far do you want to drive Uchiha Sasuke crazy?

Orochimaru repeatedly stimulated Sasuke's identity as an avenger and led him on the path of pursuing power, but in the end he suffered a backlash and created me to change everything...

If he had stopped Sasuke from going with him and let him stay in the village, would he not have become like he would in the future?

But Orochimaru and Shikamaru asked me not to affect the past, and they also forbade me to get close to Orochimaru in the past...

Lord Shikamaru, don't you think that killing the past Orochimaru might solve a lot of problems?

But since Lord Shikamaru doesn't think so...well...he must have his reasons.

Kakashi-sensei said nothing.

"That's an interesting face, isn't it? Maybe it's a gift from someone."

"Orochimaru……"

"You don't like it? Then be careful, the gift might be taken away."

He smiled evilly, turned around and walked towards the darkness again.

Teacher Kakashi looked at his back and could do nothing.

Is this... the horror of the Three Ninjas?

I looked at Kakashi-sensei and found that his back was stiff, with a barely perceptible tremor.

"Teacher Kakashi..." I finally took the initiative to speak to him: "You knew he would show up, so you brought me here specially, do you want to test his reaction?"

"...No." After a long while, he answered me in a tired tone, as if he had just survived a disaster and was a little exhausted: "I didn't know he would show up, but since he has set his sights on Sasuke, I don't know when he would show up... I was just in case."

"You think I'm Orochimaru's man...right?"

Teacher Kakashi took a deep breath and didn't answer: "You stay here to watch over Sasuke. I'll notify the medical team to send him to the hospital. Do you want to stay and continue to watch the subsequent exams, or go to the hospital with him?"

I lowered my eyes and found that no matter what I asked him, no one could make him answer as long as he didn't want to say it.

Should we say that he is truly worthy of being a battle-hardened, well-trained jonin?

Orochimaru was obviously very concerned about what Kakashi said, "Someone is suspected to have mastered the Uchiha bloodline", but he did not continue to ask. Did he know that it would be difficult to pry open his mouth in a short time?

Looking at Sasuke in my arms, I remembered how much he cared about me abandoning him before. When he opened his eyes this time, I had to be by his side no matter what.

"Sasuke and I will go to the hospital together."

Kakashi-sensei nodded, "I understand."
