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

"...In summary," Shino and I squatted together, watching a butterfly fluttering in the bushes, slowly flying from one bush to another. "Shino, are you willing to practice love with me?"

Aburame Shino whispered, "You...are such a strange person."

"Is it so obvious that I'm not normal?" I was a little nervous. "But it's precisely because I want to learn to be a normal person that I'm studying hard now. Is that not okay?"

"That's your freedom. But I don't have anyone I like right now. Even if you say you want to practice with me, I don't know what to do. Is that okay?"

"It's okay! I was the one who proposed this, so I will prepare what to do. As long as Shino cooperates with me, it'll be fine!"

Shino hesitated: "Actually, I... don't have many friends. Apart from you, there is no one to play with me. But if you want to practice love with me, then we can't be friends anymore?"

I was stunned: "It seems so."

"Then I have no friends again."

I know that friends are very rare and precious, and it is a very sad thing to have no friends.

When I thought that if Shino and I practiced dating, he would lose one of his few friends, I immediately said, "Let me introduce you to Shikamaru and Naruto! They are very nice people, maybe they can become your friends."

Shino was noncommittal: "Then, what are we? We are not people who like each other, so we can't be called lovers."

"Do we have to like each other to be called lovers?"

"Ah."

"I see, I've learned something new!" I thought for a moment and said, "So, what about a partner?"

"Dating partner?"

"Ok!"

Shino lowered his head and thought for a moment: "It sounds good. Let's do it."

I was pleasantly surprised and asked, “So you agreed?!”

"Yeah. If that's what you want to do."

I stood up excitedly: "Wow - thank you! Shino, I'll go introduce you to my friends now!"

"Can you wait a moment?" Shino said, "I want to finish observing the butterflies now."

I squatted down again: "Okay, how about we go after school?"

"Okay." After Shino agreed, after a moment, he asked me hesitantly: "Should I go with you right away? If we are in love?"

"Well... the information I collected said that lovers always put each other's affairs first. However, there is also information saying that every relationship between lovers is unique, as long as you find a way to get along with each other that is comfortable for you. It is said that a truly beautiful relationship is one in which both parties can be themselves comfortably. So I think Shino should decide according to her own wishes and don't force it."

"okay, thank you."

So we watched butterflies together during the entire class break. After school, I waved to Shino with a smile, and he packed his schoolbag and came over.

Shikamaru's eyes widened: "No way..."

Shino stood next to me, and I happily announced to Naruto and Shikamaru, "Shino agreed to practice love with me!"

Naruto was very happy: "That's great, Chaolu, congratulations!!"

Shikamaru:"……"

He looked at Shino in shock: "What are you thinking? You wouldn't normally agree to something like this!"

Shino said, "Because Chaolu invited me. To explain why, it's because I don't have much sense of existence and I don't have many friends. She invited me and I was very happy."

Shikamaru said angrily: "You just followed her because you were afraid of losing your only friend! Then what are you now?"

I said, "Dating partners!"

Shikamaru looked surprised and said, "I've never heard of such a relationship."

I said, "We have practiced it on the first day today!"

"what?"

I told Shikamaru about the butterfly sighting during break today, and Naruto nodded seriously, "Oh, I see! When you're in love, you always put the other person first!"

I said happily, "Right! I did it! I put Shino's concerns first!"

Shikamaru frowned and said, "But he didn't put your affairs first, did he? If it were me, I would go with you immediately if you asked to meet your friends."

Shino's expression was hidden behind his sunglasses and wide collar, and he said nothing.

I quickly explained for him: "Because I said he just needs to be himself."

"Then this is not a love practice at all, it's just your one-sided contribution. And the other party will only take your contribution, concession and compromise for granted." Shikamaru said: "If you put his affairs first, then he should also put your affairs first. If it's someone you like, you can do it naturally, but if you don't like him, it will become forced."

I hesitated: "But butterflies are also very interesting..."

Shikamaru said flatly: "Even if I really want to stay and watch the butterflies, but Chaolu values ​​me so much, I will definitely feel that Chaolu's affairs are more important than butterflies."

"I see." Shino suddenly said, "I was wrong."

He looked at me and said, "I'm so sorry, because I have no experience."

I quickly replied: "It doesn't matter, we were just practicing."

"But now I roughly understand what it feels like - it's a more important existence than observing butterflies, a more interesting existence than butterflies..." Shino said, "In the future, I will adjust my mindset and observe and treat the morning dew as an insect."

Shikamaru: "...Huh?"

I said, "Really? Thank you very much! I'll leave it to you!"

Shikamaru: "Huh???"

He couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'm telling you guys, wait a moment..."

But at this moment, Iruka-sensei suddenly came in. When he saw me, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, Chaolu, you're still here, can you come over for a moment?"

I glanced at my friends around me and walked over in confusion, "What's going on, Iruka-sensei?"

Iruka-sensei and I walked outside the classroom, and he said, "Asakaro lives in an orphanage, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"A little past the welfare home is the Uchiha base. Can you ask Chaolu to go to Sasuke's house after school and give him the materials distributed in class today? Also, let him borrow your class notes from today. The classes he missed are quite important, and they are all key knowledge points. If you can make up for it today, make up for it today. Otherwise, if you keep dragging your feet and not catching up, the subsequent classes will be greatly affected."

Before I could say anything, Iruka-sensei said anxiously, "Originally I wanted to check on Sasuke myself, but the school suddenly notified us that there was a meeting to be held. Okay, I'll leave it to you, Chaolu. Remember to take his temperature again after you go to make sure the fever has subsided. I'm going to the meeting first."

He left after he finished speaking. I could only look at the documents stuffed in my hands and said reluctantly, "...Okay."
