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

With a "click", the lights went out again. I widened my eyes and subconsciously hugged him tighter.

We stood like this in the dark for a moment, and I couldn't help but ask, "Shikamaru, is the light broken?"

He then spoke: "...No."

"Then why don't you open it?"

"…I'm sorry." He said this, but still didn't turn on the lights: "Chaolu still want to stay here? There's nothing else to see in the cinema."

"Huh? But people who go to the cinema stay there for a long time, right?"

"Because they would watch movies, and a movie would take about a few hours, but movies can no longer be played here."

"Well..." I was a little disappointed. The cinema didn't seem as charming as I imagined. "Then let's go. But why do you have to say sorry?"

"Because Chaolu wanted me to accompany you as a 'father'... I don't know how to do it, sorry."

I thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm very happy as long as Shikamaru is with me."

"Really?"

"Ok!"

Shikamaru then turned on the flashlight and the light came on again.

He pulled himself out of my arms and turned away, as if he didn't dare to look at me for some reason: "Um... Chaolu, when is your birthday?"

"What about Shikamaru's birthday?"

"Me? September 9."

"Well, then I'll go with September 9rd!"

"Can such a thing be determined so casually?"

"But there's nothing I can do... I don't know what day my birthday is, and I want to tie it to Shikamaru's birthday, is that not possible?"

"I..." Shikamaru glanced at me, then quickly lowered his eyes and looked away: "It doesn't matter to me..."

"So why are you asking me this?"

"Don't you have to give gifts on your birthday? If I take you to a movie as a gift on your birthday, would you accept it?"

"Eh……?"

"You see, if you don't watch a movie, the cinema is actually not very interesting, and it will be over very quickly."

"Then I have to prepare a birthday present for Shikamaru." I was a little distressed: "What should I prepare?"

Shikamaru probably knew that I had no money, so he offered me some advice: "You can give me some service vouchers."

"Service voucher?"

"Well. You make some paper with words like 'eat with Shikamaru', 'watch a movie with Shikamaru', 'take a walk with Shikamaru' written on it. When I want to use it, you just do what it says and accompany me. What do you think?"

I never thought that a gift without money could be this good, and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Shikamaru is so thoughtful! Great!"

"If I use the service voucher, Chaolu must give me priority no matter what other arrangements she makes. Is that okay?"

"no problem!"

"…Forget it, I'll make an appointment a day in advance."

"Shikamaru is so nice!"

"besides……"

"Ok?"

"My birthday... isn't it in more than a month? If your birthday is only one day later than mine... since we're already out today, why don't I give you the gift in advance?"

"So, Shikamaru, do you want to take me to a movie today?"

"...Yes. Is that okay?"

"I don't know..." I hesitated: "I have never celebrated my birthday, and no one has ever given me a gift..."

"Don't you trust me?"

"I trust Shikamaru! But I'm worried that Shikamaru is too good to me, and I'm not sensible enough, so I might do something bad to Shikamaru..."

"If you treat me badly, or if this behavior is wrong, I will tell Zhaolu. Because even if I don't care, others will. I won't watch Zhaolu do bad things to others, because I know Zhaolu doesn't want that, right?"

"Ok!"

"So, let's go to the movies?"

"What are you looking at?"

"It's a gift for Chaolu, so why not let Chaolu decide when we buy the tickets?"

Although Shikamaru broke free from my arms, after he said that, I couldn't help but pounce on him again.

"Thank you... Shikamaru, you're the best!"

We walked out of the cinema. When we reached the ticket gate, there was already light in front of us. Shikamaru turned off the flashlight, but the light flickered at the door for a moment, and someone outside the door immediately noticed it: "Who!?"

The sound sounded like it was some distance away from the entrance of the cinema, but only two or three steps away at most.

Shikamaru and I looked at each other and our eyes widened at the same time - it was Uchiha Sasuke!

But shouldn't he be outside at this time!? Why is he in the Uchiha base!?

Shikamaru didn't look back, he just threw the flashlight behind him and grabbed my hand and rushed forward to behind the counter of the ticket office.

As soon as we hid under the counter, we heard Uchiha Sasuke rushing into the cinema.

Shikamaru pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly, and I breathed silently, huddled in a corner of the counter, and heard Uchiha Sasuke's footsteps walking in cautiously and slowly.

I saw a flash of light on the wall and knew it was Uchiha Sasuke who picked up the flashlight.

I looked up at Shikamaru. It was dim behind the counter, but there was still light coming in from the door, allowing me to see his features clearly.

He looked down at me, pressed a finger to his lips, and stared into my eyes.

So I stayed quiet, continued to nestle in his arms, and traced the shape of his eyes in my mind.

Sasuke tentatively approached the direction of the screening room, but was getting further and further away from us.

I couldn't help but look at Shikamaru and ask, "Are we leaving now?"

Shikamaru shook his head slightly, he lowered his head close to my ear and whispered in the smallest breath: "Wait until he goes deeper."

As he spoke this, his neck leaned towards me. I thought of the Adam's apple of Lord Shikamaru that I saw after I opened my eyes, and suddenly raised my hand and pressed it on his Adam's apple. Shikamaru was stunned for a moment and looked at me in confusion.

He must have thought my behavior was strange, but I felt very happy.

Because it was like touching Shikamaru-sama.

Anyway, I'm hiding here from Sasuke now, and touching him won't make any noise, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Why do men have this? What is the Adam's apple used for?

I stroked it up and down out of curiosity, but the skin on Shikamaru's neck felt more profound than his Adam's apple.

Soft and warm.

I gently placed my index and middle fingers on his Adam's apple, and placed my ring finger and little finger naturally on his neck, stroking his warm skin with small movements. My index and middle fingers then felt his Adam's apple move upwards at the same time.

amazing.

I used my other hand to press on my Adam's apple, but my neck was flat, not bulging.

Is it because I haven't entered puberty yet?

When I reach the same age as Shikamaru is now after using the transformation, will I also have an Adam's apple?

Sasuke's footsteps could no longer be heard. Shikamaru grabbed my hand on his neck and rolled out. I quickly followed him and slipped out of the cinema door with him.

Shikamaru said, "Use the transformation jutsu!"

He and I used transformation techniques at the same time, turning into passers-by with no personal characteristics. We quickly left the Uchiha base and ran all the way to the river where we met.

After confirming that Sasuke didn't catch up, we both canceled the transformation technique.

Shikamaru turned back into my age, and I felt lost when I couldn't see the face that looked so similar to Shikamaru-sama.

Maybe the expression on my face was too obvious, Shikamaru was a little speechless: "Are you so disappointed that you can't see what I look like when I grow up?"

I looked at him expectantly: "If possible, I want to go to the movies with the grown-up Shikamaru, okay? Please."

Shikamaru was silent for a long time before he sighed, "…Not today. I don't have enough chakra."

I'm super depressed.

"You really--you like my grown-up face so much? But even if you say that, I can't conjure chakra out of thin air."

"Then can we wait until Shikamaru has enough chakra next time before going?"

Shikamaru grabbed my face, and for some reason his tone was a little gritted: "Okay! Of course!"
