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

I looked at the scenery outside the window for a long time, but still felt that it was monotonous and boring. I really couldn't figure out Sasuke's mood.

Oh, why not just ask him what he is watching later.

I turned and looked at the bed again.

It's really big and feels like it's more than enough for three people to lie down side by side.

When Gaara, Neji and I were on a mission together, we would sometimes just bring a tent to keep things light and lie side by side when we rested.

The tent was not big. Although there were usually only two people in the tent because everyone took turns to keep watch, it was still a bit crowded.

However, I really like the feeling of being close to everyone. I can hear Neji and Gaara's breathing, open my eyes and see them lying beside me with peaceful expressions. I feel very safe.

In the ninja world of life and death and endless fighting, in the world of rebel ninja that should be cold and cruel, I have two companions who always support me. It is really a happy thing that I don’t have to face the malice of the world alone.

But Sasuke doesn't want to be too close to me, and I understand that. Given his personality, it's normal for him to keep a cold distance.

I have a lot of time to rest today. He has been running around outside all day and should be more tired than me. I'd better let him rest first and I will keep watch.

I took the cleaned dishes out the door, locked the door again, went back to the dining table and sat on the chair.

Looking out the window, I hesitated for a moment. Although no Sheren's puppet flew by, wouldn't it be better to draw the curtains just in case?

As soon as I drew the curtains, the room was plunged into darkness.

The sound of the bathroom door opening was also heard at this moment, and a moment later, a ball of fire lit up in the room -

There was also a fireplace in this room, and Sasuke probably used Fire Release to light the firewood piled in it.

I'd really like to see Sasuke wearing a women's yukata!

But the clothes in the castle seemed to be of one size fits all, the same for both men and women, and Sasuke didn't seem to have any obvious size issues when wearing them.

I sighed in disappointment.

Sasuke paused, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... Although you look good in a light-colored top, it seems that you don't suit all white."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because your hair and eyes are black, if you wear all white, you won't have any dark colors to match your hair and eye colors. Pure white is very suitable for Neji because his eyes are white."

"Are you thinking about Hyuuga Neji?"

"I just felt like saying this... I don't know how they are doing now? Aren't you worried about Naruto and the others?"

"I believe in him."

"You said that as if I don't believe in Neji just like I do in Gaara... But when it comes to friends and relatives, no matter how powerful or reliable they are, I'll still worry about them... Never mind, this is probably just because of our different personalities."

"Don't worry. They're with Naruto."

"You really have faith in Naruto."

“He is the strongest now.”

"…It's really strange to hear such words coming out of your mouth."

Sasuke changed the subject, "Aren't you going to rest?"

"I'll keep watch for half the night. You've probably used up more energy than I have."

Sasuke stayed there for a while, and seemed to think that what I said made sense. Considering the subsequent actions, he nodded and walked towards the bed: "Okay."

I said, "That's right..."

Sasuke: "You..."

Me: “You speak first.”

Sasuke: "You speak first."

"Uh……"

Sasuke asked, "What do you want to say?"

It was always dusk inside the artificial sun, and there was no way to tell the time from the sky. But judging by the time the puppets brought dinner, it was probably around eight or nine in the evening, so there should still be some time before we rested and could talk.

"I want to ask, Sasuke, what do you think of the world now?"

"Why do you ask?"

"When you encounter a question you don't want to answer, you use rhetorical questions. This is a very cunning behavior."

"It's not that I don't want to answer, it's just that my answer is meaningless."

"why?"

"Because my thoughts don't matter. Naruto has completely rejected the path I want to take, and I have decided to follow in his footsteps."

"Are you following his lead because you think he's right, or is it just because he's won you over?"

"..."

I got the answer: "Because he beat you."

"Naruto's ideas are still immature, but his companions will help him do well."

"Shikamaru? And you? You will support him and protect him... but not because you approve of him, but because he is the strongest...?"

"That's not the case." Sasuke said, "Naruto's choice is to maintain the status quo. Although I do think that there are many areas where the status quo can be improved, no one can come up with a better way to improve it. Random actions will only plunge the world into turmoil. Therefore, Naruto's decision is the best way to bring peace to the world. Therefore, those who hope for peace will support him."

"But if we do nothing because we are afraid of change, won't we just end up dying slowly? If we try to reform, there may be temporary turmoil, but if we can finally get on the right track, it will only be temporary..."

I subconsciously wanted to say "temporary pain", but suddenly I remembered that that was what Uchiha Sasuke said, and my heart tightened.

Many people are aware of the problems in the world, but no one can think of a better solution. Moreover, no one wants to disrupt the peace of the moment, does not want to be opposed by relatives and friends, and cannot make up their minds to break away from the ties.

I remembered that Kakashi had said before that his position had always been limited to Konoha Village, unlike me who saw a wider world.

At the time I thought he was petty and nothing like the hero I remembered.

But if all his relatives and friends are fighting for Konoha, and he jumps out of the limitations of Konoha and fights for others, it will definitely harm the interests of Konoha and may even make enemies with his relatives and friends.

Just like Itachi-sensei.

He broke away from the limitations of the Uchiha clan, saw the village, and took action for the peace of the village.

But what are the consequences of severing almost all the ties with one’s own hands?

Why should I ask Kakashi not to fight just for Konoha?

The reason why Kakashi changes in the future is because the environment has also changed. But now, the world has not changed, Kakashi just wants to protect the people around him, what's the problem?

He may not be unaware that some battles are meaningless, but what will be the consequences of disobeying the village's orders?

Defect?

Losing all the places to stay, not sure to find companions, lonely, disappointing your teachers, causing pain to your relatives and friends... You may even be wanted by your former companions and have to fight with them...

At that time, I denied him and blamed him for feeling pain over the deaths of Rin and Obito but refusing to make any changes. He said that although many people said he was a genius, he was not actually very smart.

I thought he was at a loss for words and couldn't refute, so he just gave up and admitted that he was terrible, but now thinking about it, his tone was so helpless.

——He said he was not smart, and maybe he knew that there were many bad things in the world, but he couldn’t think of how to improve it.

Or maybe, he had thought about it, but before putting it into practice, no one knew which path was the right one, but if one took a wrong step, there was no tolerance for error in human life.

If we are not careful, countless people will die.

What if the changes he initiated in order to prevent the tragedy of Rin and Obito from happening again caused more Kakashis to lose their own Rin and Obito?

At that time, I might stop Kakashi just like I am stopping Sasuke now, and say to him: "Who told you to mess around!? Don't do anything! Isn't it better to maintain the status quo?"

I sighed deeply.

Sasuke asked, "What's wrong?"

I covered my face. “Thinking back to the past, I actually didn’t have enough experience, but I thought I understood a lot of things… I did a lot of childish things, and said a lot of self-righteous things… I feel so bad, I’m sweating profusely.”

"For example?"

"That's right, they always think they are right and everyone else is wrong, that they are the smartest and think the most thoroughly, and that everyone else is a fool..."

Sasuke seemed to chuckle, but I think that might just be my imagination: "It's normal. Everyone goes through this."

"Alas," I said dejectedly, "Can I ask you another question? It may be a little presumptuous, but it's about your brother..."

"You know Itachi?"

"He is my teacher."

Sasuke's tone rarely fluctuated: "He is your teacher?"
