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

I tried the white wedding gown, but I felt a little suffocated by the layers of clothing.

Such cumbersome clothing can only make people move forward in small steps. Although the staff praised me for my "elegant manners", I think I still prefer the feeling of being able to move freely.

Perhaps the bride's decision to hold someone's arm when she appears on stage is not just symbolic, but also has the practical function of helping the bride walk smoothly.

The staff put a headscarf on me, and the round hat looked like a full moon on top of my head.

I had to be careful even when turning my neck: "Has Neji tried on the dress too? What does it look like?"

"We have tried." The staff member maintained a business smile, "But the bride and groom cannot see each other before the wedding. Please look forward to seeing each other on the day of the official wedding."

I asked again, "What was the Earth like when you came? Is it okay now?"

As soon as we landed, they were busy preparing for the wedding, and I was busy cooperating with them. It was only now that we had some time to chat.

The staff member was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face froze: "... Most of the civilians have moved to the air-raid shelter for refuge, but how long do we have to stay in there... No one can give an answer, so although we are safe for a while, the atmosphere underground is very depressing..."

"Soon," I said, "you will be able to start your life again soon."

"Yes. We also heard that you have found the mastermind behind this, and this wedding is to lure him out... As long as we defeat him, the world will be at peace, right?"

"Yes."

"That's great!" The staff breathed a sigh of relief. "It looks so safe and peaceful here... We don't have to worry about meteorites falling from the sky at any time, and there will be no more violent vibrations and explosions... Sigh... We were living in such a peaceful world not long ago, but now it seems like a lifetime ago."

She reached out to adjust my headscarf, collar, and belt, and smiled, "When I knew that Naruto-sama was here, I thought the groom was Naruto-sama! He saved the world once before, and I thought that if it was Naruto-sama, there must be a way... but it turned out not to be the case."

"It's better if there are more people who can save the world. Otherwise, it would be too tiring for the savior to be alone."

The staff member was slightly stunned: "That's true!"

Fortunately, after trying the dress on and confirming that it fit me, I didn’t have to wear the white wedding dress to rehearsal. I changed back into my own clothes and felt so light that I felt like I could fly.

The planner took me to rehearse the bride's entry. Neci was not there. I guess either there were no requirements for the groom's entry, or his rehearsal time was different from mine.

She asked me, "Are you sure who you're going to go out with?"

I looked at Naruto, Gaara and Shikamaru who were standing by and looking at me. Naruto had clearly said that he didn't want it, and Gaara... well... he looked away, avoiding looking at me, and seemed not to want it either.

So I raised my hand and waved towards Shikamaru.

Shikamaru was slightly stunned: "Me? Hey, I'm just here to watch over Naruto and Gaara, to make sure they don't mess around...!"

I smiled and said, "Shikamaru, come on! There's no one else but you."

"Can I wait for Sai to come back and hold his arm... It's really troublesome!"

"Not really, Mr. Sai is the best man." The planner pushed her glasses and looked at the guest list in her hand: "Mr. Groom's best man is Mr. Sai; Miss Bride's bridesmaid is Miss Sakura."

I asked curiously, "What are the responsibilities of the best man and bridesmaid?"

The planner said, "It's like being the personal secretary of the bride and groom for a day, helping them do things that are inconvenient for them to do. The most important responsibility is to be responsible for giving the rings to the bride and groom during the ring exchange."

At this point, the planner took out a jewelry box and opened it to show me. It was full of rings. "That's great. Let's take a look at the rings now. Miss Bride, because time is really tight, we only brought these styles of men's rings. Please choose the wedding ring for the groom to wear at the wedding."

"Over there, Neji, is he choosing a wedding ring for me as well?"

"Yes. Generally speaking, the engaged couple is required to personally choose the wedding rings together, but... now the situation is urgent, so let's choose for each other according to their preferences."

Shikamaru came over to me, and I pointed at one of the wedding rings and asked him, "Shikamaru, what do you think of this style?"

There are so few ring styles for men, so the appearance of this ring is very prominent.

Although this ring is also very simple, with no other decoration except the change in its shape - but it is not an ordinary circle, but a wavy shape, like a water wave ring that surrounds the waves in a circle.

Shikamaru asked, "Why are you asking me?"

"Since it's a ring for Neji, the one I like might be more in line with girls' tastes. I think boys might have a closer opinion."

"But you should know Neji better than I do."

I tilted my head and thought about it, then smiled: "That's true! Let's take this one! It looks great on its own, but I wonder what it will look like on Neji's hand..."

I wonder what kind of ring Neji chose for me?

Oh no, there is a feeling of anticipation and nervousness when opening a blind box.

After confirming the wedding ring, I took Shikamaru's arm and, under the guidance of the planner, walked towards the main stage of the wedding.

Shikamaru said, "You know what? He'll come every day."

"day by day?"

"Yes. Sai said that the civilians on Earth have been almost evacuated. Tenten's ability is not good at dealing with meteorites, but her ninjutsu against single creatures like Toneri may be helpful."

"You described Toneri as a single organism. He doesn't sound like a human being..."

"It's hard to say that a guy who can drag the moon to destroy the earth is a human being." Shikamaru said calmly: "And I heard that the groom is Neji, and it's inconvenient for Teacher Gai to move. Xiao Li will stay to assist the Hokage, and Tenten can also attend as a representative of the third team."

"Can I ask... how did Neji, the Neji in this world, die?"

"He died on the battlefield from the Wood Release's piercing technique."

Wood escape?

"Are there many people in this world who can use Wood Release?"

"not much."

"The Fourth Shinobi World War...right?"

"Correct."

"..."

"Why don't you continue asking?"

"Is the enemy Uchiha Madara?"

"Correct."

"I got it."

With his character and strength, it would be strange if he didn't stir up a big chaos.

Shikamaru whispered, "I don't know if you've noticed, but there are a lot of contradictory loopholes in your remarks."

I looked up at him and smiled: "Maybe it is true for you, but for me, what I said is the truth."

Shikamaru looked at me with a frown on his face.

I said, "Don't worry. I have already made an agreement with Naruto. If we pass by the lake where people's memories can be seen again on our way back, I will let him see it without reservation. Then, you can learn everything from him."

"That sounds right, but what if you don't want to go back with us?"

"Are you worried that I'll calm you down by saying this so that you can escape first? Don't worry, I will try my best to go back with you, because I also want to see Naruto's memory."

Shikamaru sighed, "It would be best if we don't end up becoming enemies."

"Becoming enemies... I have imagined what it would feel like to kill Shikamaru, but it's too bad, so I won't do it."

"Wait, why are you imagining that?"

"Well... how should I put it, I was affected in some way. I wondered what would happen if one day I killed all the friends I valued with my own hands... Everyone would be completely defenseless against my approach, and then I would suddenly attack them, and they would definitely look shocked and unbelievable... I might not be able to kill them with one strike, but they would still be able to speak, and they might weakly ask me why, or call out my name in pain...

No, whenever I think of this and their painful expressions, I can’t imagine any further, and I want to erase all the previous imaginations of killing them.

That's too cruel... I don't think I could ever do such a thing."
