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

"Thank you!"

Deidara's praise and affirmation made me feel warm inside.

"I also think that Deidara's eyes are very, very beautiful."

I reached out and gently lifted his bangs on one side, carefully observing the color of his eyes. "Deidara's eyes change color. When they are blue-green, they are like the summer sea. When they are gray-blue, they are like the sky that is about to snow."

"You're the first one to say that."

"Oh, it's my pleasure."

"What about the sea and the sky... I don't feel anything myself, but you observed them very carefully, didn't you?"

"Because I like Deidara, I like everything about Deidara." I laughed, "I like Deidara's eyes, I like Deidara's hair, I like the tone and expression of Deidara's speech, I like the ninjutsu used by Deidara and the mouth in his hand that no one else has - and all of these make up the person of Deidara."

After I said this, Deidara's anger was like a flame that was finally extinguished by a basin of water.

The atmosphere around him visibly relaxed.

“…Damn it, you’re such a talker! Couldn’t you have come to me earlier?!”

"I'm sorry, but Deidara is so independent, and I would also be worried that Deidara wouldn't like a relationship that's too clingy."

"Of course it's best for others not to bother you, but it's different for you."

"I'm so happy that I'm so special to Deidara. But..."

"but?"

I couldn't help but stare at him, "But sometimes I also worry that Deidara, who values ​​me so much now, will become cold to me one day in the future."

"..."

"Compared to someone who has always been cold to you, it would be more painful to see someone you once cherished and connected with become a stranger...

"I didn't expect that," Deidara showed a satisfied smile on his face, "So you are also worried about me?"

"Someone told me that we shouldn't give up on a person in his teens just because he might die at the age of thirty. So, I think we shouldn't neglect our current relationship just because Deidara and I might separate in the future. On the contrary, maybe our time together is limited, so we should cherish it even more." I said to Deidara, "I'm sorry, although I think so, Deidara doesn't seem to feel my appreciation. I will cherish Deidara more in the future."

Deidara was speechless: "You...you..."

Compared to the countdown to reuniting with Sasuke, the time spent with Deidara is counting down faster.

Because he is a member of Akatsuki.

I never forget that the Akatsuki organization's target is the tailed beasts.

In other words, Gaara will become the target of Akatsuki one day in the future.

It is also possible that Deidara may be chosen to carry out this mission.

It is said that a Jinchūriki will die if his tailed beast is extracted, but the Akatsuki organization's plan was successful and Gaara still survived. What exactly happened?

The scroll doesn't say.

Perhaps for Orochimaru and Shikamaru, as long as everything develops naturally, Gaara will survive. The scroll is limited in length, and they have to record other more important things.

However, as I have come this far, I have discovered that there is a big gap between myself and what they think is important.

I care about how Gaara will survive, I care about Gaara's future if he cannot become the Kazekage, and I also care about Neji's final outcome.

I took them away from their original destiny, hoping to lead them to a better world.

While striving towards a beautiful goal, we must not give up the present.

We cannot give up the real feelings of every minute and every second of the present for the illusory happiness in the future.

Do what you want to do, meet the people you want to meet, be happy, be sad, be reckless, be painful, and experience everything.

"Well, Deidara," I adjusted my mood and smiled at him, "Can you first compensate me for the bounty of the rebel ninja that you just blew up?"

……

Deidara said he wanted to be alone with me for a week, so we went out together during the day to hunt down rebellious ninjas.

But I also told him that I had to go back to have dinner with Gaara and Neji, so in the afternoon, Deidara would take me back.

In the first month of the year, Neji, Gaara, and I returned to the Hidden Mist Village and spent New Year's Day with Zabuza and Haku. Deidara couldn't come, and his bird couldn't freely enter and leave the Hidden Mist Village to deliver messages, so our contact was temporarily interrupted.

After I left Kirigakure and asked Kotori to inform him, Kotori threw all of Deidara's reply at my head in revenge.

"The environment of Iwagakure is so dry," Neji couldn't help but complain when he saw me tearing down the letters sent from each bird, "Why do the people raised there feel even more damp and sticky than the ninjas of Kirigakure?"

"Rocks will grow moss where there is water." Gaara said, "The Sand Village is the driest, and the people there have the most straightforward personalities."

Neji said, "Sure enough, it's because Deidara's ninjutsu requires the use of clay. His personality is just like clay."

Gaara said, "Not as good as sand."

I know that Deidara has never liked Gaara and Neji, and Neji and Gaara have never liked him either. I am stuck in the middle and can only try to speak well of the party who is not present: "Actually, Deidara is not a bad person..."

Ningci subconsciously said: "If it wasn't him, how could you...!"

We all know what he is brooding over, but that doesn't stop Neji from holding back his words.

That happened during the Chinese New Year.

It all started because I borrowed Deidara's method and sneaked into the 18X area, wanting to buy a copy of "Intimate Paradise".

As a result, I didn't pay attention and bought a picture album with a very similar name.

Many of the pictures in the album boldly show various parts of the human body - not only single-person photos, but also double-person photos, triple-person photos, and multi-person photos.

Although I bought the wrong item, I felt it had great research value, so I always carried it with me and brought it back to the Hidden Mist Village.

After returning to the Hidden Mist Village, I put it in a drawer, but Zabuza found it when he was cleaning the house.

I still remember that day very clearly. Those people who had been caught and released by Bai and I invited Bai and me to a dinner party. Then when we came back from dinner, we saw the three men in the family sitting in the living room with serious expressions, and my album was on the table.

Although I said that I bought it out of curiosity, Neji and Gaara both felt that I must have been led astray by Deidara after I met him.

Neji had the biggest reaction. Even though he hated the Hyuga clan, the educational imprint of the Hyuga clan still deeply shaped some of his cognitions.

For example...some traditional ideas?

After Bai finished flipping through the album, he was silent for a while, and did not allow Zabuza, Gaara, and Neji to express their opinions. The next day, he took me to visit Senior Terumi Mei, saying that these things might be better understood by older female seniors.

After that, I became much more familiar with Senior Terumi Mei.

Senior Mei Terumi praised me for my good taste and the art albums I selected, and she even browsed and studied them with me.

"Is there anyone Chaolu likes now?"

"the person I like?"

"That is, is there anyone who wants to do the things in the album with him?"

I thought about it and shook my head.

"That's fine. It's too early for Chaolu to worry about these things now."

But looking at Mei Terumi's relieved smile, I couldn't help but ask, "Then when is it not 'too early'?"

"Well...after you become an adult?"

I calculated that I was probably only 16 years old when I reached the turning point of Uchiha Sasuke's fate.

If I fail in my mission...

Always consider the worst-case scenario.

I asked curiously, "If I don't live to adulthood, can I experience it in advance?"

Senior Terumi Mei was surprised: "Why do you say that? Are you feeling unwell somewhere, Asaro?"

"Just... a little worried."

As a result, Senior Terumi Mei sent me to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. After hearing the news, Zabuza hurriedly put down his work and rushed to the hospital to pick me up. In the end, everyone just let my album go, thinking that if I was feeling unwell, the most important thing was to keep a happy mood.

Bai returned the album to me and said, "The reason why taboos are attractive is precisely because they are taboos... But in fact, this is just something that humans normally do. The important thing is that you have to understand the difference between reality and fiction."

I took the album in disbelief. "Then can I continue my research in the future?"

Bai said helplessly: "Even if they take it away, you can always buy another one yourself. I'm worried that our reaction will be too big and make you think this is no big deal."

"It's not a big deal, is it?"

"No." Bai looked at me gently: "I'm sorry, forgive us for reacting so strongly. We are just too worried that you will be deceived by the fictional content in the book and then get hurt in reality."

Shikamaru also said before that the books I refer to are very different from reality...

So what is really going on in reality?

It would be nice if I could meet him and ask him about the album.

I assured Bai, “I will be careful!”

And this was just a small episode.

As spring turns to summer, I stand by the sea, thinking about the schedule for this year's fireworks festival.

The first day would of course be spent with Gaara and Neji, and the second day would be with Deidara.

Although I invited Uchiha Madara, he didn't agree in the end...

So I probably don’t need to think about the itinerary for the third day?
