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

"Speaking of which," Asaka asked Naruto curiously as they left the barbecue restaurant and headed towards the Hyuga clan, "Shikamaru said you wrote a book. Can I take a look?"

"Uh!"

But for some reason, when Naruto heard these words, he looked a little guilty.

He scratched his cheek in embarrassment: "It's all Sasuke's fault! I...though I think Chaolu will definitely come back, but Sasuke is always depressed! So I...I thought...if we really won't meet again...I want to leave some traces of you, so..."

Chaolu became even more curious. She asked in surprise, "Is it a story about me?"

Looking into her eyes, Naruto felt that he couldn't avoid it, so he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and pulled out a pocket book from his ninja tool bag that had obviously been read many times.

"...Please," Naruto handed the book to Chaolu carefully, his blue eyes wet like a puppy, "You must not be angry - but if you must be angry, of course you can!"

Seeing him so timid, Orochimaru couldn't help but ask, "What did you write?"

Chaolu opened the first page hesitantly.

Naruto seemed to hold his breath at that moment.

The story begins: "The day I was born, I received two things from my Creator.

The same name, 'Chao Lu'.

The same mission: I want to go back to the past..."

Chaolu's eyes widened in surprise.

"I'm sorry! I wrote down all the memories I saw from you!" Naruto hurriedly explained: "Ah, but I made some changes to the name..."

"Hmm..." Chaolu saw that in the book, he changed his name to "Menma".

She looked up and saw his uneasy look, then smiled: "I'm not angry."

Naruto carefully confirmed, "Really?"

"Yeah!" Chaolu was a little happy: "That's great. Many years later, even if one day I'm gone, there will be something about me that can be preserved... Isn't that romantic? I've read a lot of books, but this is the first time someone has written a book for me, recording my story..."

She looked at the small book in her hand and asked seriously, "Can you give me this book?"

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course! As the author, it would be even better if Naruto could sign it for me!"

"Wooooo! Thank you, Asaro!"

While Naruto was signing frantically, Orochimaru looked at the silent Sasuke, "Sasuke, you should have thought about leaving some commemoration, right? Or is it enough to just have the memory?"

Sasuke glanced at Asaka and Naruto who were exchanging books and stopped, "We're at the Hyuga residence."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the Hyuga clan's residence. The courtyard wall they saw before them was the courtyard of the Hyuga clan's patriarch.

"Just barge in?" Sasuke didn't answer him, and Orochimaru didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and asked Chaolu, "Or should we use courtesy first and force later?"

As soon as the conversation started, the gentle smile on Chaolu's face disappeared.

"Let's meet Hyuga Hiashi first." She said, "If Hyuga Hiashi feels guilty about Neji and is ready to abolish the caged bird, I can provide assistance... But if he still sticks to his old ways, I don't need to respect him."

Orochimaru nodded and walked up to knock on the door.

Chaolu remembered that Neji once told her that during the Chunin Exam, Hyuga Hiashi died in place of Neji's father, so she knelt down to apologize to him.

At that time, they didn't think deeply enough, just thinking that Neji's father could only choose how to die, which was not freedom at all. But now, Chaolu realized one thing more-

If Hyuga Hiashi really mourned his brother's death and felt so sorry for it, why did he have no intention of reforming the tradition of the caged bird?

He wanted to fool Neci by kneeling down once.

The Ningci in his world finally chose to leave with her. What about the Ningci in this world?

He stayed in Konoha and died alone in battle.

There was no other choice for his destiny.

Perhaps because he was thinking of Neji, Naruto's expression became serious.

"Ningji's last words were to me."

Chaolu couldn't help but ask: "What did he say?"

"He said... because I said he was a genius..." Naruto lowered his eyes: "During the Chunin Exam, I boasted. I said that when I became Hokage, I would change his fate. He believed me... but I..."

"Didn't he give up the struggle?" Orochimaru said, "I don't know about this world, but in the world I was in before, Hyuga Neji also died in the Fourth War. As far as I know, after the Chunin Exam, Hyuga Neji let go of his past grudges, recognized Hyuga Hiashi, and worked hard as the 'genius of the Hyuga family', active in Konoha."

He said disapprovingly: "People who put all their hopes on others and do nothing themselves, aren't they giving up control of their own destiny? If they are lucky, they can get the blessing of the goddess of fate. If they are unlucky... they can only die in vain holding on to the promises made by a young and ignorant guy who is not fit to be Hokage."

Naruto glared at Orochimaru, "You are not allowed to say that Neji's death was in vain!"

The door of the Hyuga house opened at this moment.

Hyuga Hinata was behind the door, looking at the guests at the door with some surprise, as if she had never thought that they would come to visit -

"Naruto-kun?" She widened her eyes and asked uncertainly: "...Sasuke-kun? This is..."

She looked at Asaro and Orochimaru with some hesitation in her eyes.

She had met Orochimaru several times, but—

Is it possible for the real Orochimaru to walk with Naruto and Sasuke in broad daylight and appear in Konoha so openly?

This made her unable to confirm for a moment whether the other person was Orochimaru.

And the morning dew...

To her, she was even more of a strange girl.

Naruto suppressed the anger provoked by Orochimaru and said to her: "Hinata, is your father home?"

"Yes." Hinata was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Naruto said, "We have something we want to discuss with him no matter what. Please!"

Hinata hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways to make way: "Come in. I'll go explain this to my father."

She was a sensitive person and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she trusted Naruto.

Naruto is the hero of the Fourth World War and also the friend she has known since childhood. He would never do anything bad that would harm the village and would never hurt the people in the village.

She had no reason not to trust him, and no reason not to help him.

Hinata first took them to the reception room, and then went to look for Hyuga Hiashi. Chaolu didn't like kneeling quietly on the tatami and waiting, so she walked to the corridor behind the room, looking at the scenery in the courtyard in silence.

After visiting Shikamaru's house as a child, she had always wondered what her future home would look like.

She had been to Sasuke's house, Naruto's house, and there were parts of both of their homes that she liked.

The Hyuga family is also very exquisite and gorgeous, but...

It's quiet and cold here.

It's not the dead silence of Sasuke's house, but even though there are close family members living together, the air is so depressing and quiet that it makes people feel suffocated.

At Sasuke's house and Naruto's house, "no one is there", which is an extremely lonely thing.

In the Hyuga family, "someone is there" has become an extremely terrifying thing.

Strict rules and strict hierarchy.

Bai said that in the village, people's status is not determined by ability or character, but by identity.

Only by becoming a rebel ninja can you choose the person you want to respect.

No matter how noble the other party's status is, as long as they are strong enough, no one can force you to bow your head.

...But the Neji in this world did not become a traitorous ninja.

Was he forced to bow his head in such an environment?
