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

What Zabuza said touched me.

The scroll said that for the sake of the future, it is best to ignore the present, but during the Chunin Exam, I had already taken action - even for the sake of the future, I cannot ignore the present.

Besides, even if Zabuza becomes the Mizukage, what does it matter? It may seem different, but in the end he might still be crushed to death by Sasuke, so it doesn't seem to make any difference.

"If I want to do that, I'd better heal my hand first." I began to think about what adjustments I needed to make to the current situation. "Also, Qu Gen can't be in the state of a newborn baby. He must at least learn simple combat."

"As long as you are willing, the latter is a very simple thing." Zabuza said: "Tamper with his memory..."

"……Do not."

"Tsk!" Zabuza clicked his tongue in annoyance, "What on earth are you so stubborn about?"

"The more powerful the power, the more it should not be abused. If I take it for granted that I can do that and do it casually... I'm worried that one day I will become someone who cannot be forgiven."

I hope that when I see Lord Shikamaru again one day, I can proudly tell him that I have not abused the power of Uchiha, and I am different from Uchiha Sasuke.

Every time I use my power, there is an explainable and understandable reason.

For example, for Gaara, if he didn't do that, he might die; for Togen, if he didn't do that, we would have to fight to the death...

Lord Shikamaru will surely understand, and he will certainly not blame me.

"But, this is also good." Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief, "If you think so, even though it makes me a little angry when dealing with the enemy, it makes me feel much more at ease when I'm with you."

I looked up and smiled at him: "Really?"

He leaned against the door frame on the other side, looked at me and said, "Now, the most urgent thing is to heal your hand. During the treatment, you'd better be able to train that oil girl well."

"We will set out to find a doctor tomorrow. Besides, people from Konoha found me on the other side of the river today. I don't know if Wave Country has been exposed. Maybe we should move to another place."

"Humph, Bai and I lived happily in the Land of Waves, but you ruined it. You must take responsibility for me and find us a new place to live!"

"So, Mr. Zabuza, do you have a target location?"

"Of course the Hidden Mist Ninja Village is the best!"

We looked at each other and smiled.

……

The next day, we packed our luggage, disguised ourselves, and left the Land of Waves.

But when the doctors Zabuza knew heard that my arm was damaged by the insects from the Aburame clan, they looked embarrassed. Some of them immediately waved their hands and said that they could not treat it. Even if some were willing to conduct further examinations, they would just shake their heads after the examination.

Bai worriedly asked, "Then there is no other way?"

"A solution..." the doctor said, "If we can find that legendary medical ninja, maybe she is the only one who can help."

Shiro repeated, "The legendary medical ninja?"

"Yes, one of Konoha's three ninjas, Princess Tsunade."

Hearing the name in this unexpected place, I immediately looked up.

Zabuza said rudely: "Are you kidding? Not to mention that the whereabouts of the three ninjas are unknown now, even if we meet them, will Tsunade treat people like us?"

"Then it depends on your ability." The doctor had probably seen many traitors and was used to Zabuza's irritable attitude. He said, "She is addicted to gambling. If you pretend to be ordinary people seeking medical treatment and are willing to pay her gambling debts, she might agree."

Bai Dao: "Do you have any information on Princess Tsunade's whereabouts?"

Doctors who have access to the underworld are usually also a source of intelligence.

"There is indeed news that someone who looks very similar has appeared at the casino," the doctor said, "but be careful. Intelligence shows that a man with white hair who looks like Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, is also looking for her."

Zabuza asked suspiciously, "You told us this information so easily?"

"Of course it's not free." The doctor coughed awkwardly and said, "If you can find Princess Tsunade, can you help me get her autograph? I met her once many years ago... and it was love at first sight!"

Zabuza: "..."

white:"……"

Gaara: "..."

I asked curiously, "Didn't you try to pursue her?"

The doctor hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no, I don't want to disturb her life. I will be satisfied as long as I can watch her from a distance."

After agreeing to find Princess Tsunade and get an autograph for him, we left the underground clinic.

Neji stayed in the inn to take care of Tone. After listening to our story of seeking medical treatment, he breathed a sigh of relief: "When I was in the village before, I knew that the Aburame clan should not be underestimated, but I never thought they were so powerful."

I said, "Because we were companions at that time... companions will not show their terrible side to each other."

Zabuza said: "Is that so? In our Kirigakure, the first thing we know is how terrifying our companions are."

Bai frowned and said worriedly, "But is it really okay for Chaolu to go find Princess Tsunade? At this time, if it is really a traitorous ninja from the Sand Village, it would be fine. On the contrary, it is a ninja from Konoha, which feels more difficult."

Ningji said: "No matter what, since there is hope, we have to go."

Zabuza looked at me and said, "As long as Chaolu is willing to use her ability... even if it's Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas, there won't be any problem, right?"

I always feel that Zabuza is hinting at something to me.

He said that the first thing the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village knew was how terrible their companions were, as if he was reminding and urging me that the reform of the Hidden Mist Village was imminent;

He said that as long as I was willing to use my abilities...

In order to heal myself, I used the Sharingan to control Tsunade-sama to heal me...

If I explain this to Lord Shikamaru, will he agree with me?

Maybe...

However, if I say this every time, and say it too many times, I always feel that even if I have sufficient reasons every time, it still sounds like quibbling.

Lord Shikamaru is so smart. He will definitely be able to look at me with those eyes that can see through people's hearts and see the guilty part of my heart.

Gaara suddenly said coldly: "If we need to take action against Asano every time, we will be too useless."

He glared at Zabuza, "Please don't push Chaolu over and over again and test her bottom line."

Zabuza snorted: "The so-called bottom line is to be able to stick to it even under pressure. But sometimes..."

He didn't finish his words. The two of them confronted each other for a moment. Zabuza looked away first and changed the subject: "How is this guy from the Aburame family today?"

Neji said, "Although his brain is that of a baby, his body still has muscle memory left over from long-term training. Today he has learned to crawl and roll over, and just now he even tried to stand up."

"Really? Qu Gen is really awesome!" I touched his hair, Qu Gen looked at me blankly, and then gave me a pure smile.

He always wears a mask. After we take off his mask, the people of Konoha probably won't be able to recognize his face.

Qu Gen pulled my clothes dependently and wanted to touch me.

He hated having his hands wrapped, and we had tried to put gloves on him, but he bit them off with his teeth and cried in anger.

When Neji took care of him, he had to bind his hands thickly with bandages first.

I also took his hand through the fabric of my sleeve, but Togen frowned and made a dissatisfied sound.

I had no choice but to pull my hand out from my sleeve and, just in case, I used Susanoo to separate it. But this time Qu Gen got even angrier and started crying in anger.

Me: “…If I had known this, I would have read more parenting books when I was working in a bookstore…”

Neji said, "It's normal to not be interested in parenting books at that time...but I think he wanted to touch you."

Gaara protested, "It's too dangerous to touch him without protection. Asaro's hand hasn't healed yet, what if he gets hurt somewhere else? He doesn't have any way to control his bugs right now."

I looked at the boy who was crying non-stop. As a baby, he expressed his emotions very directly.

Given his physique, perhaps he has rarely had contact with others since he was a child.

Just think about it, how lonely that would be.

"It's okay... I'll just use the clone technique."

I created a clone that looked just like me, and Qu Gen looked at her with wide eyes, curious.

My clone gave him a gentle smile, squatted beside him, and held his hand.

Looking at our palms touching, Qu Gen's cries gradually subsided, but the good times didn't last long.

My clone disappeared with a "bang" sound, and Qu Gen was startled. I saw that his palms were covered with purple, and I didn't know if it was because he was too relaxed.

This piece of his skin probably caused damage to "me", so the clone disappeared as if it had been attacked.

I created another clone, held his purple hand, and then it was destroyed again.

Qu Gen stared at his hands blankly. I think he still doesn’t understand now, but I hope I can teach him: “If this purple color appears on the skin and touches the people around them, they will disappear.”

He looked at me confusedly and wanted to reach out to me. The purple on his palm was like clouds in the sky, moving slowly and freely.

With the help of Neji and Gaara, I was able to teach Togen to walk independently by the end of the day.

He is very clingy and must stay close to me.

"This guy," Zabuza said, "really thinks of you as his mother?"

I was full of energy and determined to take good care of him. Bai helped me go to the bookstore and bought many parenting books. At night, while I coaxed Qugen to sleep, I used the clone technique to let the clone help me turn the pages, and I finished all the books quickly.

“After leaving the mother’s body, babies will feel afraid of the new world… If parents do not hug and comfort them when they cry, even if the babies cannot remember anything, they will subconsciously feel the world’s indifference towards them, which will affect their future personality and make them timid, lack confidence, and close themselves off… Children who have received sufficient company and comfort from their parents will be more enthusiastic, confident, and full of faith in the world…”

It turned out to be the case.

Although I don’t remember anything, I will still feel uneasy and afraid subconsciously, and then I will ask for touch and hug from the people closest to me, hoping to get a sense of security.

Becoming a mother and taking care of a child is something I have never done before.

It's not easy, and because of the special nature of root extraction, it's even more troublesome and dangerous than taking care of an ordinary baby, but... I don't want to abandon him.

I closed the book I had finished reading and lay on the table looking at Qu Gen's sleeping face. His profile looked peaceful and tranquil.

Maybe Lord Shikamaru, Orochimaru, and Brother Kabuto have also looked at me like this before. Is my mood at this moment the same as theirs back then?

If I was born with Obito and Rin, would they do the same, trying to understand me, raise me, and take care of me through all means?

At this moment, Qu Gen, who was lying there, seemed to have become me, and I, who was lying here and looking at him, seemed to have become someone else——

Maybe it’s Lord Shikamaru, maybe it’s Orochimaru, maybe it’s Rin, maybe it’s Sensei Kakashi.

I walked to the tatami next to Qu Gen, leaned down, and gave him a gentle hug through the quilt.

Become a happy child who has received sufficient companionship and comfort from parents.

Because I also want to be that kind of child, so I hope to be that kind of parent.

No matter how many hugs you want, I'll give them to you.

……

I don’t know if the comfort at night promoted Qugen’s growth, but after that he adapted to his body memory very quickly and got used to running fast the next day. When we jumped among the woods and hurried along, he knew what to do without thinking and would not be left behind by us at all.

Zabuza said: "This is more like an ANBU now."

Gaara basically doesn't sleep at night. I know he was on the roof watching the moon last night. Maybe he was watching the light as I read, and maybe he saw the hug I gave to Togen.

Seeing him looking at me, I said happily, "The knowledge in the book is really useful! As long as we raise him well, Qugen will definitely become a great child!"

Zabuza complained: "Don't ignore his age so completely! You know what you did to him is a bit perverted even among the rebel ninjas, right?"

“…!! Pervert…pervert…how can you say that to me!!”

"Don't you have any self-awareness?!"

I don't accept that kind of comment.

I turned my head away and pretended not to hear what Zabuza said.

But Qugen did not know how to be patient. There would always be accidents on the road. For example, when he felt tired or bored, he would refuse to continue on his way. When he was hungry, thirsty, or felt that no one was paying attention to him, he would cry and make a fuss.

In order to take care of him, when we arrived at the town where Lady Tsunade had appeared according to the intelligence, we all suspected that we were too late.

But we are unwilling to give up. Ningji opened his Byakugan and searched around. Suddenly he looked in one direction and said, "Someone is fighting over there."

Zabuza asked: "Are there any target people?"

Ningji frowned and looked more carefully: "There are a lot of people... two women, three men, and a..."

He suddenly paused.

Gaara asked, "What's wrong?"

Neji hesitated and said, "There's someone we know."

I was shocked. Given our current situation, it would be really difficult to meet old friends.

But running away all the time is not a solution.

I tried to be calm and said, "Who?"

Neji said, "It's Naruto."
