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

Chaolu was slightly stunned. She subconsciously wanted to answer, but then she remembered the background she had to pretend now - Naruto had been captured and his life or death was unknown.

What would she do in this situation? Would she reminisce about the past with Shikamaru? What would she say?

...But Naruto was obviously fine, she really couldn't imagine it.

Then maybe we should substitute the time when Gaara was captured?

But at that time she would not abandon Gaara and run away, she would definitely chase after him immediately!

There was no example to refer to. Chaolu hesitated for a moment and did not speak. Shikamaru then consciously lowered his eyes: "Sorry, now is not the time to talk about this."

However, after entering the room, Chaolu needs to cover Orochimaru's actions so that he can choose the correct one from the masks on the wall.

So she slightly tightened Shikamaru's hand to attract his attention, and whispered, "Shikamaru has grown up a lot since then."

"You too..." Shikamaru seemed to have a lot to say, but he couldn't say it because there were outsiders present.

He glanced at Orochimaru and gently pulled Asaka closer.

"Don't worry, Konoha will definitely do its best to rescue Naruto."

"Um……"

She didn't know how to pretend to be more realistic, and she was worried that Shikamaru would see through her.

She wanted to lower her head so that Shikamaru wouldn't see her face, but she was also worried about looking away.

What if he happened to look over and saw Orochimaru when he was taking action?

Chaolu had to force herself to stare closely into his eyes, making sure that his eyes were only looking at her, and his gaze was indeed only looking deeply at her.

"…Morning dew?"

"I don't know what to say... I'm sorry, Shikamaru, I'm... a little confused right now."

"It's okay, I know." Shikamaru whispered, "I understand. You and Naruto have such a good relationship. I think it's amazing that you can stay calm and go back to Konoha with Kakashi-sensei for help."

I don’t know if it was because I felt guilty, but Chaolu’s heart skipped a beat. I felt that every word Shikamaru said seemed to have a hidden meaning.

But his expression was so sincere: "I promise you...I will take the initiative to join the rescue mission. I will definitely bring Naruto back."

"You're really nice, Shikamaru." Chaolu couldn't help but squeeze his hand, "Very, very nice."

"Hey... don't give me the nice guy card at a time like this."

"cough!"

Orochimaru coughed dryly behind them, and Chaolu thought that was probably a sign that he had succeeded.

Shikamaru seemed to have been reminded of something, and he distanced himself from her a little, trying to create a sense of distance and asked, "Do you want to watch for a while longer?"

Zhaolu shook her head: "No. I want to go somewhere else."

"where?"

"The Uchiha clan's... shrine."

Shikamaru looked at her steadily, "I feel like..."

Chaolu's heart sank. From the corner of her eye she could see Orochimaru ready to attack Shikamaru at any moment - but she had already agreed with him before coming that no casualties must be caused in Konoha.

Fortunately, Shikamaru stopped talking in time: "Asakaru's goal in returning to the village this time is very clear."

"I am an Uchiha after all," Chaolu took the initiative to pull Shikamaru out, "but I have never been to the Uchiha clan's shrine. I want to find something to do, otherwise... my mind is full of Naruto being captured, and I can't calm down at all."

"I understand." Shikamaru raised his hand to block her head as she bent down to go out, so that she would not accidentally bump into the collapsed door frame: "Where is the address of the Uchiha Shrine, Chaolu? Do you need me to confirm it?"

"Thank you Shikamaru for your help."

"It's okay. It's not a big deal. Are you going to wait for me at the Uchiha base first, or wait here for me to come back?"

"He and I will go to the Uchiha station and wait for you."

He nodded, "Okay."

After Shikamaru disappeared in an instant, Asaka and Orochimaru immediately jumped onto the roofs and treetops without stopping and started running like a ninja.

They didn't need Shikamaru to give directions because Orochimaru knew exactly where their destination was.

But this is a good opportunity to get rid of Shikamaru.

Orochimaru hissed, "Your disguise is really poor."

Chaolu was a little worried: "Do you think Shikamaru figured it out?"

"If it was him, he might have noticed something was wrong. But with insufficient intelligence, he couldn't have thought of your overall plan... From what I know about him, he probably wouldn't think you're a big threat. Although he doesn't know what you want to do, he might turn a blind eye and let you go."

"But if he finds out you're Orochimaru, that may not be the case."

"Hmph, if Kakashi betrays you, that's not certain." Orochimaru said, "But he will be exposed in the end. To lift the Shiki Fuujin, the Uzumaki clan's mask and the Uchiha clan's forbidden land are both indispensable. Once the god of death is summoned, you will not be able to hide it from him with that little trick just now."

Therefore, if he leaves Shikamaru behind and enters the Uchiha Shrine first, it might be possible to end everything before he arrives, and then maybe he can keep it secret.

Asano looked up in the direction of the Uchiha clan, "If Itachi-sensei takes action, the Eight-Tails will not be able to escape. There is no way to hide his capture. Although the most perfect plan is to move forward without attracting any attention, I am also prepared to make the world my enemy."

"Don't you have any attachment to this world, Chaolu?"

"Yes." Chaolu had already seen the outline of the welfare home - it was once the most familiar place to her, but when she saw it again many years later, she felt a vague sense of strangeness.

“But it is precisely because of those places that I miss that I hope the world will become a better place.”

She didn't stop and walked straight across the roof of the orphanage.

"By the way," Orochimaru said, "Does Sasuke know about the time you and Shikamaru went to the movie theater in the Uchiha compound when you were little?"

Chaolu paused.

"Didn't you see everything inside me?"

"It seems he doesn't know." Orochimaru said, "I really want to see his expression when he finds out."

Chaolu frowned: "You always think about Sasuke."

"No, I'm just curious, to what extent can Uchiha Sasuke tolerate you? Where is his bottom line, where are his principles, and where is his critical point of explosion?"

"And you said you weren't interested in Sasuke?"

"After all, he has never had such feelings in my life. This is something I really want to study."

"I'm not your research tool!"

"Hmm, you've reached your rebellious phase too. It's really hard to deal with you."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the gate of the Uchiha residence.

Compared to the Uzumaki clan's shrine that no one has visited for more than ten years, the Uchiha clan's building is slightly better. After all, Sasuke still lived here a few years ago.

However, in the corners that Sasuke could hardly reach, the wood began to rot, and weeds, moss and mildew appeared.

Chaolu actually doesn't know much about the affairs of the high-level officials of Konoha Village. Orochimaru must know more than her.

She couldn't help but ask: "If the Fourth Hokage had survived, the Uchiha clan would not be like this, right?"

"Who knows. Everyone thinks of Minato Namikaze as a genius, but he's not omnipotent."

"Can he calm Danzo?"

"What do you think? Even the Third Hokage couldn't control this guy. Even Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, has to be wary of him because he is an elder in the village and a senior."

"At least, Naruto will have a father." Chaolu was silent for a while, "As for the rest, I will find a way."

"any solution?"

Chaolu didn't answer.

Orochimaru couldn't tell for a moment whether she hadn't figured it out yet or just didn't want to say it out loud.

Tsk... puberty.

To go to the Uchiha Shrine, they didn't need to go through the Uchiha Residence. They took a detour and quickly arrived at their destination.

The stone at the entrance requires a secret technique passed down from generation to generation in the Uchiha clan to unlock it, but Orochimaru has already figured it out.

They walked straight into the basement and saw the legendary stone tablet.

Chaolu used the Sharingan at different stages to look at it, and her voice was a little low: "It's the same as what Uchiha Madara said in Obito's memory... and it's the same as what Black Zetsu said in Naruto and Sasuke's memory."

"You can throw it into the Kamui space, and then let Sasuke or Itachi burn it with Amaterasu. Anyway, this stone is useless, and keeping it will only cause trouble." Orochimaru took off the mask of the Kirigakure Anbu on his face, and put on the death mask taken from the Uzumaki Nanmen Hall: "Okay, I'm going to start. Stay away from me."
