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

"Sasuke!"

"Sasuke! Are you okay?!"

Sasuke opened his eyes and found that he had lost consciousness at some point -

He had experienced this feeling of weakness and unconsciousness once before...

The same thing happened to him at the end when he fought Naruto in the Valley of the End.

But when he turned his head, he could see that Naruto was still alive.

He woke up earlier than Naruto. When he was heartless and unconscious, Sasuke stared at his profile and was thankful many times that he was still alive.

But what about tyrants?

At that time, he was lying on the broken rocks with his only and most important friend. When he woke up from the darkness, what he saw might be Naruto's cold body.

...How terrible.

As long as Sasuke imagined it, he felt as if the world had suddenly fallen into an ice cave.

It was as if he was back in that night again - seeing his clansmen lying dead in the streets and his parents lying in a pool of blood.

He seemed to have become that extremely frightened, terrified, panicked and powerless child again.

And now, Sasuke turned his head and saw the tyrant with his eyes closed beside him.

Seeing him staring at the tyrant's peaceful face that looked like he was sleeping, Naruto said in a heavy tone: "Sasuke... he's dead."

Sasuke whispered, "I know."

He didn't know how to describe how he felt at the moment.

Chaolu asked with concern: "What about you? Are you feeling okay now?"

She pressed her hands on his chest, and a steady stream of chakra flowed into his body, healing his wounds from the battle.

Sasuke held her hand and felt that he really wanted a hug.

but……

He couldn't ask for it.

How likely is it that Chaolu will suddenly hug me without saying a word?

Sasuke thought to himself, probably 0.

But just as he finished thinking this, Chaolu actually leaned over and hugged him.

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, wondering if Chaolu might have the ability to read minds.

What does she think?

With what feeling did she hug him at this moment?

Chaolu gently touched his hair, and her voice came into his ears: "It's all over, Sasuke."

But these words failed to calm Sasuke's mood. Instead, they made him grab the back of Chaolu's snow-white robe tightly, and his heart almost spasmed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You kept your promise...it's really good."

Chaolu was a little confused: "What?"

"You said you would come back, so you came back."

Does that mean she appears before them again?

His forehead rested on Chaolu's shoulder. Although she wanted to lower her head to see his expression, his profile was completely blocked by the black hair hanging from his cheeks.

"…Will you leave again? Where to?"

"Um..." Naruto looked at the two people hugging each other, and suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't be standing here at this moment: "I'll go tell Shikamaru and the others...?"

Sasuke raised his face and looked at him: "Naruto."

"what?"

"come over."

"what……?"

Naruto walked over hesitantly and crouched awkwardly beside Chaolu.

Sasuke lowered his eyes, "…thank you too."

Naruto was stunned: "Huh?"

"Until the end, you never gave up on me."

"Eh!!??"

Sasuke: "…What's your reaction?"

"No! Are you Sasuke? Are you the real Sasuke?!" Naruto was flattered and widened his eyes: "How can you say such a thing! It's unbelievable!!!"

Chaolu was amused by him and opened her arms, as if Sasuke and Naruto beside her were once her companions.

Naruto rushed over without thinking, hugged Sasuke and Chaolu at the same time, grinning: "That's it, Sasuke! If you have something to say, don't keep it in your heart!"

Chaolu said subconsciously: "...if you have something to say, just say it..."

"That's right! Just speak your mind!"

[“This is my first time having friends, so I don’t understand a lot of things… If I make you angry in any way, you must tell me directly!”

"Okay. I also want to be with Naruto forever, so if I've made you angry in any way, Naruto, you have to tell me directly."

"Well! Then let's just talk it out!"

"it is good!"

"Pink?" He held out his finger. "It's a deal?"

"Hook."

"No change allowed for a hundred years!"

"It won't change in a hundred years."】

Chaolu was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly realized that they were not her childhood companions.

When they were young, the companion who accompanied them was Haruno Sakura from another world.

Chaolu couldn't help but think: My Naruto and Sasuke...how are they doing now?

Suddenly, from two different directions, the same shout came: "Sasuke!! Sasuke--!!"

Asaro and Sasuke looked up, and saw Karin rushing over in panic on the side where the tyrant was lying, and behind Sasuke's side, Sakura's pink hair was like the first rays of morning glow at the break of dawn.

Suigetsu and Jūgo soon appeared behind Karin, but were thrown far away by the former who ignored them.

"Sasuke!!"

Karin rushed to the tyrant's side, and her eyes turned red the moment she saw his face clearly.

Perhaps the experienced medical ninja had sensed death, but Karin refused to confirm further—

She refused to check his breathing, refused to confirm whether his arteries were still beating.

He was a ninja who had experienced many battles. His hands were shaking as he tried to roll up his sleeves, as if he couldn't even hold the weapon steadily: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Karin's teeth were chattering as she realized that something terrible had happened, but she couldn't accept it.

The fear of losing something extremely important made her refuse to accept the reality before her. She put her arm to the tyrant's lips, but looking at his calm and peaceful face, as if he was sleeping, she knew that no matter what, he would not open his mouth to bite her again.

In fact, Sasuke hasn't needed her treatment like this for a long time - he is so strong that he can hardly be hurt.

Karin's arms, which were always covered with teeth marks, now have smooth and intact skin, but she would rather Sasuke be like before, facing a strong enemy, even if he was at a disadvantage and covered in wounds, he would always be tenacious and try every way to fight again.

For example, when he fought against the Eight-Tails.

Every time this happened, he needed Karin's treatment.

Every time this happened, she felt that she was very important to him.

Karin collapsed beside the tyrant and burst into tears like a broken child.

Suigetsu and Chougo just arrived.

Shigeo quickly checked the tyrant's breath, and then he stood still.

Seeing this, Suigetsu suddenly staggered and said in despair: "Is this true... You must be kidding... That Sasuke... Sasuke... would actually lose..."

These words irritated Karin, and she looked up suddenly, her face distorted in pain.

She hugged the tyrant's shoulders tightly, glaring at Sasuke with tears in her eyes: "I'm going to kill you-! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Sasuke looked at her quietly, but said: "...Thank you."

Thank you for such intense pain and hatred;

Thank you for making him so important.

It was because he was too ignorant when he was young, and later he lost the ability to show emotion.

If I could go back in time...

Sasuke thought that he should be nicer to her.

Do not……

This assumption is meaningless. He cannot go back to the past. When he returns to where they came from, he should find Karin, Mizuki and Jūgo and thank them.

Thinking about it now, they have tolerated him a lot and have always supported him from the beginning to the present.

"Sasuke..."

On the other side, Sakura stared blankly at the tyrant lying on the ground, but she could no longer rush over to him and cry like she did when they were still companions.

That position now belongs to Karin, Mizuki, and Jūgo.

She and he have been enemies for a long time.

Many, many companions died. Sakura thought she would not be shaken by the death of the tyrant, but when she saw him lying there, she felt weak all over, collapsed to the ground, and covered her face.

Sensei Kakashi once said that even if Orochimaru wanted to destroy Konoha and even killed the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage still thought Orochimaru was as cute as he was when he was young, and the same was true when he looked at Sasuke.

Sakura no longer thought Sasuke was cute, she thought he was scary.

But as a companion in her youth, she always had a fantasy -

She still believed that Sasuke's nature was not bad.

She didn't know if Sasuke was still gentle, but she always felt that maybe one day, one day...

He can turn back from his mistakes.

Sasuke felt a little exhausted. He was helped to stand up by Chaolu. He looked at the two crying women and remained silent for a while.

Compared to Karin, Naruto was of course more anxious to comfort Sakura - even if that wasn't the Sakura from his world - but he stood beside her, scratching his head for a long time, not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only turn around and anxiously said, "Sasuke, what should I do! Say something!"

Sasuke: "..."

What else can he say in this situation?

What's more, the person they mourned and remembered was not him.

It was Sakura herself who held back her tears. She wiped her eyes fiercely, stood up again, and looked at Sasuke: "... Shikamaru has already told me the general situation before... You are the Sasuke from another world... right?"

Sasuke nodded silently.

Sakura tried to force a smile, but it was a little distorted because of the tears of sorrow.

She tried to calm her tone, but she couldn't help choking up and speaking halfway through: "...Thank you so much..."

Sakura gritted her teeth and held back her tears: "...Help."

Soon, Shikamaru and several elite members of the coalition forces also arrived.

With such a huge disparity in combat power and Orochimaru's presence, Jūgo and Suigetsu hesitated for a moment, then surrendered without resistance and were captured.

Karin did not run away or attack, but no one could take her away from the tyrant's body.

It was Jūgo who stepped forward, put his hand on her shoulder, and whispered, "This is the ending that Sasuke chose himself."

Karin sobbed into Sasuke's shoulder, as if she couldn't hear anything.

Only then did they look most like a couple in love.

Sasuke would no longer push her away, would no longer calmly complain that she was getting too close, would no longer not reject her but then calmly make people feel discouraged.

Even those responses that seemed disheartening and discouraging at the time, now make her feel happy when she thinks about them.

Ever since Sasuke became a tyrant... no, for a period of time before he became a tyrant, he pushed her far away and even tried to kill her at one point.

After becoming a tyrant, no one could get close to him - even in the eyes of outsiders, Karin, Jūgo and Mizuki were his closest companions.

He is always so lonely...

Why didn't he look back?

Why did he have to choose to be alone?

Karin finally fainted from crying on the tyrant, and only then did Jūgo pick her up and take her away by the ninja coalition.

During this time, Chaolu kept looking at her. Through her pain, collapse, wailing and tears, she wanted to understand what kind of feeling that was.

like……

Love?

What does that feel like?

Why does it look so sad?
