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

The next day, we continued on our journey on Aska. Shikamaru tried to change the groupings, putting me in one group with him, and Naruto and Sakura in another.

Naruto protested, "Why do we have to change the groups?"

Shikamaru asked, "Don't you want to be in a group with Sakura?"

“That’s not the same thing!”

"I am the lead jonin, Naruto, follow orders."

"But……!"

Shikamaru has already taken on the role of the team's leading jonin. If Naruto continues to object, it will be difficult for Shikamaru to continue his command work.

I patted Naruto's arm soothingly, "It's okay."

Naruto reluctantly left. I sat behind Shikamaru and sighed, "The time I spend with Naruto is not very long anyway, why do you have to take up some of it?"

"This is for his own good. I don't want to see you walk away and leave Naruto alone and be devastated." Shikamaru said, "Besides, if you two are in a team, you might end up leaving the team alone like you did yesterday. Naruto already has a hard time following orders... We are getting deeper and deeper into this continent, so we must be more cautious."

"I obey orders very well."

"But you may have something you want to do, and Naruto seems unlikely to oppose you, so it's better for me to watch you."

"This morning, when Sakura looked at me, her expression was a little strange..."

"I told you all your actions, we can all see them."

"But she hesitated and said nothing."

"Well, because I told her I would take care of it."

"Your way of dealing with this is to keep Naruto and I apart as much as possible?"

"I just hope Naruto doesn't get too hung up on your presence and keeps his emotions under control."

"Shikamaru...if you were the father, you would be the kind of strict father who wouldn't allow his children to play freely..."

"Really? I think I shouldn't care so much. But Naruto is not a child who can be easily worried about."

"I think Naruto is very well behaved and obedient."

"Alas," Shikamaru said helplessly, "I can only say that there is always something that can defeat something else."

He stopped talking, and I couldn't lean on his back like I could lean on Naruto, even though he was Shikamaru, but…

I sat at a distance from him, behind Fei Niao, silently watching his hair tied at the back of his head, the skin on the back of his neck that was exposed by his collar, and his back...

Shikamaru suddenly said, "I can feel your gaze. Stop staring at me like that."

"Eh? Sorry."

I quickly looked away, and after a while, I heard Shikamaru say again: "In your world, you and 'me' have a good relationship?"

"Well...Shikamaru has always taken good care of me."

"What a strange feeling..." Shikamaru sighed softly: "It's me, but it's not me."

I didn't know what to say, so I just kept silent. Shikamaru also stopped talking.

Soon, Neji found a town, but it was empty.

Shikamaru asked Sai to take Neji on a flying bird to circle over the town to look for any chakra reaction. As soon as the bird was dropped, Naruto quickly ran to my side and said, "I'm in a team with Asuro!"

Shikamaru probably felt that he couldn't be pushed too hard, so he backed off.

He was in a team with Sakura, and Naruto, Gaara and I were in a team to search for other clues on the ground.

Naruto is very friendly to Gaara. In this world, he and Gaara, who is the Kazekage, seem to be very good friends. However, when he gets along with Gaara in my world, he seems a little awkward because Gaara's attitude is obviously very cold.

While we were split up and searching the same area, Gaara went off on his own in other directions.

Naruto looked at his back in surprise, "I thought he would want to join you."

"I spoke to them this morning before we left. I said I wanted to make some good memories with Naruto."

"They agreed?"

"Why not agree? Neji and Gaara always support me." I held out my hand to him and said, "Now we can hold hands!"

Naruto suddenly became happy and put his hand in my palm, holding me tightly.

When I'm with Naruto, I always feel that time passes very quickly. It seems that not long has passed before Neji sends a signal to guide us to gather in an abandoned building that looks like a temple.

A statue of a deity was particularly prominent among them. Neji and Sai were standing at the feet of the statue.

Gaara used sand to carry Naruto and me flying at an extremely fast speed, so he was the first to arrive.

I asked curiously, “What did you find?”

Neji turned his body and pointed out the words engraved on the base of the statue. "We found this. It seems to be hieroglyphics from ancient times. However, this is all I know about it."

Sai said: "Me too. I only know that it is a hieroglyphic from ancient times, but I have no idea what it means."

At this time, Shikamaru and Sakura also arrived.

Seeing us gathered around the statue, Shikamaru hurried over and asked, "What's going on?"

I said, "These are ancient hieroglyphics. Shikamaru and Sakura, can anyone understand them?"

Sakura took a look, shook her head, and said in distress: "School doesn't teach this."

"I'll try," Shikamaru squatted down and took a closer look. After a moment, he slowly said, "The ancient oath, if you turn away from humanity, the Eye of Reincarnation will awaken. The Fist of the Moon will destroy humanity."

I exclaimed, "Shikamaru really knows everything!"

"No... I just have some ancient books at home. I read some of them before and they happened to contain content on this topic..."

Sai nodded: "This is what the book says, the so-called power of family."

Naruto asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

Shikamaru coughed dryly. "What I mean is, if the guy who kidnapped Hanabi is indeed here, then he is most likely related to the moving of the moon."

The only valuable information here is this sentence.

But just this sentence can't do anything.

Shikamaru stood up, looked around and said, "Look around to see if there are any other clues."

Sakura pointed to the side of the statue and said, "There's an entrance over here."

This is the only entrance into the depths of the temple. We entered one after another, but when we walked along the only road to the end, we found that the end was a dead end.

Sakura said regretfully, "It looks like there are no more clues."

"Hmm..." Shikamaru said helplessly, "It's really not that easy, let's go look somewhere else."

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a voice.

[Descendants of the Six Paths Sage... and the bloodline of my clan...]

Ningji hesitated and asked, "Did you... hear any sound?"

Everyone looked confused.

Neji was not sure: "Maybe I heard it wrong..."

I said, “Maybe I heard it too.”

Neji looked at me in surprise, and Gaara asked, "What did you hear?"

"Descendants of the Six Paths Sage, and the bloodline of my clan... that's what they say." I looked at Neci, "Ningci, did you and I hear the same thing?"

Neji nodded slowly.

"If both of you heard it, it shouldn't be an illusion. Or it should be an illusion that only works on the two of you." Shikamaru began to analyze, "If you are special..."

Sai said: "Sharingan and Byakugan."

Shikamaru nodded: "That's right. The Uchiha clan that possesses the Sharingan is the descendant of the Six Paths Sage, which matches the first half of the sentence you heard. As for the second half..."

Everyone looked at Neji.

Shikamaru continued, "If the first half of the sentence refers to Asaka, who has Uchiha blood, then the second half should refer to Neji, who has the Byakugan. But why is it 'my clan'? Is there a Hyuga clan here as well?"

"If there is some secret here, and it only affects me and Neji..." I thought for a moment, then took Neji's hand, "Ningji, give me your chakra."
