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

I saw Shino.

Aburame Tone stood face to face with him. The surrounding environment belonged to Konoha, and it was so familiar that it made me dizzy.

Shino put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head slightly, half of his face hidden behind the wide collar, and wore round sunglasses on his face, so it was impossible to tell any emotion or expression from him.

Aburame Tone spoke first: "Has anyone seen Asaro use the Parasite? Did you give it to her?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"She said she wanted to defeat Uchiha Sasuke, and I wanted to help her."

"Have you ever thought that maybe she said this to you on purpose in order to obtain the secret techniques of the Aburame clan?"

Shino raised his head slightly and looked at Aburame Tone: "She is not."

"She betrayed Konoha. Everything she did before was most likely for ulterior motives."

I heard Shino say calmly, "I don't believe it."

I was slightly stunned and looked at him blankly.

"No one saw what happened at that time. She just disappeared with the people of the Sand Village. Didn't Hyuga Neji disappear with them? The Hyuga clan has not announced his defection until now. Why do you conclude that Asaka betrayed Konoha?"

"…I have my own channels. Shino, we are ninjas, and ninjas should unconditionally obey the tasks assigned by the village."

Shino asked back, "Was it the Hokage who gave you the order?"

“It makes no difference.”

"The Hokage did not give a clear order saying that Asaka was a traitorous ninja."

"The Third Hokage has died in battle. Before the next Hokage takes office, the mission I received represents the village's wishes."

"What if she was captured?" Shino whispered, "Shouldn't we rescue her and Neji?"

"..."

"The whereabouts of the Sand Village's Jinchūriki is still unknown, and the Sand Village is in a state of panic." Shino whispered to himself, "The Sand Village said that this was all Orochimaru's conspiracy. Maybe Neji, Asaka and the Sand Village's Jinchūriki were all captured by Orochimaru."

"Shino, you've been bewitched by her! You're a ninja from Konoha, you should help me find her by providing all the information you know about her."

"What if you find her? Will you bring her back safely?"

"The village will decide how to deal with her."

"If you think she is a defector, the only way for the village to deal with a traitor is to execute her." Shino paused, turned around and prepared to leave: "I did send her a bad bug, and there is nothing else I can tell you."

Aburame Tone couldn't understand and said anxiously: "Shino! Why are you protecting her so much? Her existence may endanger the village!"

"After you entered the Root, you said that we might never meet again... So when you showed up on the eve of the Chunin Exam, I was very happy." Shino paused before leaving, "But I only now understand that your appearance at that time meant that the Root had set its sights on Asaka. But I had been watching her for six years before you started to notice her."

"What if she approached you on purpose?"

Shino turned and looked at him.

"Would you doubt your own bugs? Takenori? No one from the Aburame clan would misread the message sent by the bugs, because we coexist with bugs all the time. We observe them, feel them, understand them, and finally even communicate with them. I believe in what I feel, so I absolutely do not believe that Asaro will endanger the village."

"...Asahi has the Sharingan. Did you know that? You may not understand how terrible the Sharingan's illusion is, but if she uses an illusion to control you..."

"About this point," Shino paused, "I really don't know. However, I still want to believe her. I will look for her whereabouts myself. If she is captured, I will save her; if she left on her own, I will ask her why; if she dies, I will avenge her; if she is still alive, I will definitely find her."

Aburame Tone frowned, not understanding: "Why are you... so obsessed with her?"

"Because I like her." Shino looked at him calmly: "As a root, can't you find out our relationship?"

"'Dating partners' is a ridiculous relationship. She's just playing with you!"

"No. I'm her romantic partner, so I know she's always been very serious about me, but she just doesn't like me as a lover yet."

"...Won't you feel any pain?"

"Pain..." Shino pulled his hand out of his pocket and raised it to his eyes, watching a parasite fold its wings and crawl on the back of his hand. When he pulled his hand out, a string slipped out of his pocket, and I recognized it - it was the string on the bell he gave me.

Teacher Kakashi, did you give the bell I left behind to Shino?

Could the parasite he was staring at be the part of the bell that he had given me and that I had used?

"To like someone means that even the pain she causes me will make me happy."

……

I silently exited the memory of Aburame Togen.

Under the control of my Sharingan, he lowered his head and lost his independent consciousness.

Although only a moment had passed in reality, the insect poison from Aburame Togen had quickly spread to my elbow.

I whispered, "Take back your nano poison bugs."

Qu Gen raised his hands obediently and retracted his attack.

The excruciating pain was gone, but I still felt tingling, numbness and weakness in my arms.

Gaara frowned and said, "How is it, are you okay?"

I paused: "...It seems that I can't say that it's okay..."

Bai Ye rushed over. His medical ninjutsu was not bad. After holding my arm and checking it, his face turned pale. "Although the poisonous insect is gone, the cells that were damaged by the toxin before...cannot recover on their own."

Gaara's eyes widened slightly, "What does that mean?"

"What it means is..." Bai was silent for a long time, "After Zhaolu... this hand will be disabled."

Gaara turned his head sharply to look at Aburame Tone, "Since it's his poisonous insect, can he cure it?"

I shook my head: "There is no way in his memory."

Gaara's sand sensed the anger of its master and wrapped around Aburame Tone's body. He hadn't been so murderous for a long time.

Gaara said coldly: "Since he is of no use, just kill him."

I grabbed Gaara, "No, I have to keep him. He's very capable... maybe he can be useful to us."

"Are you going to keep controlling him with the Sharingan?" Bai frowned slightly: "Can you hold on? If he breaks free, we can subdue him this time, but next time he will probably kill us all."

"I erased all his memories."

Gaara and Shiro were stunned.

Bai hesitated and asked, "What?"

"It can't be considered deleted... I suppressed all his memories deep into his consciousness. Now his surface brain is like a newborn baby. He remembers nothing and knows nothing. He can't walk, talk or fight... His memories are too deeply bound to Konoha. Only in this way can we eliminate his hostility towards us." I released the illusion control of Susanoo and the Sharingan, and Aburame Tone fell to the ground. He looked around with a blank expression. Apparently, he had forgotten how to control the nano-poison insects, and his whole body would turn purple from time to time.

I squatted down and looked at him. His eyes noticed me, and he stared at me intently and stretched out his hand to me.

Bai said nervously, "Chao Lu!"

"It's okay, as long as I don't touch you directly." I gathered chakra into my intact hand, and caught the hand that Aburame Tone extended as if it were part of Susanoo. "I'm sorry, I can't let you go, and I don't want to kill you... Just like this, use you for a while."
