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

No one knows what Uchiha Madara did. All we know is that not long after, the long-missing Hozuki Suigetsu was brought back to the Hidden Mist Village.

Hozuki Hozuki, who was "rescued" from the Hidden Mist Village, became the new teammate of Chaolu and Shiro.

It didn't take him long to realize that the team was formed around a girl named Chaolu.

She has many privileges and is watched by many people. Such a situation can easily create a spoiled and overbearing princess.

But before Suigetsu showed up, she and Bai had become good friends.

She instinctively imitated Bai, including his gentleness and patience.

Then he treated Suigetsu kindly in the way he learned from Bai.

"...Actually, when I was brought back, I was a little hesitant..."

A year later, when Chaolu and Bai celebrated his first birthday after returning to Kirigakure, Suigetsu muttered: "Although Orochimaru's place is not a good place, Kirigakure is not much better..."

Chaolu asked curiously, "What about now?"

"Now..." He looked at his companions - Bai and Zhaolu who were smiling gently in the candlelight, and couldn't help but smile: "I feel so good to be back... It's great to meet you!"

However, Shuiyue occasionally noticed that Bai's smile when looking at Chaolu sometimes revealed a hint of sadness.

When Zabuza failed in his attempt to assassinate the Mizukage and defected, and Haku followed him away, Suigetsu finally understood why.

"Morning dew."

"Ok?"

"Is it okay? Bai... ran away."

He had clearly seen Bai holding Chaolu's hand several times, and even saw him bend down and gently kiss her cheek.

But Chaolu's tone was light, as if he had not abandoned them at all: "It's okay."

The girl who has lived in the Hidden Mist Village for several years is no longer as ignorant as she was at the beginning.

She faced her only remaining companion, held his hand tightly, and said firmly: "After I become the Mizukage, Shiro will be able to come back."

She herself wants to become the Mizukage, and everything around her is paving the way for her.

Just when she was only one step away from the water shadow...

Suddenly, someone said, "If life is so smooth, I don't think I can become the Mizukage."

……

Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes and saw Chaolu sitting beside his bed, looking at him with a helpless smile: "If I really follow Itachi's arrangement and grow up in the Hidden Mist Village like that, I think I will become a naive fool."

He was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered——

He has not gone back to the past.

He was just conducting an experiment with Chaolu.

Orochimaru said that he invented a way to communicate with Asano who was in another world. If the experiment was successful, they would be able to talk to Asano anytime and anywhere in the future.

After all, that was a complex ninjutsu that transcended time and space. Something probably went wrong during the experiment, causing Itachi and Asaka's minds to be lost at the wrong time for a while.

"Itachi probably wouldn't be a good father." Chaolu said, "What a terrible way to raise a child."

"Which of my arrangements are you dissatisfied with?" Itachi asked softly, "Asaro?"

"I'm not satisfied with everything you arranged." Chaolu sighed, "It's obvious that we were lost together, but Itachi simply pushed me to Obito, and then Haku, Suigetsu... the position of Mizukage... I don't know where he went."

"In that destiny... there is no place for me. If I weren't here, Chaolu would have lived a better life..."

"You think so again." Chaolu said unhappily, "When will you change this bad habit of yours? You always arrange everything for others under the banner of 'for your own good', without caring what the other person thinks."

Itachi was silent for a moment: "…I'm sorry."

"But Itachi always apologizes but never changes."

"Feel sorry……"

"Itachi, if you apologize again, I'll get angry too."

Itachi opened his mouth instinctively, but when he met Asano's eyes, he closed it silently.

"Itachi paired Shiro and me because he thought Shiro was the best match for me?"

Itachi looked at her silently.

Chaolu was amused. "If you don't say 'sorry', you can't even speak anymore?"

Itachi lowered his eyes, "Don't you like Shiro?"

Chaolu looked at him without answering.

"Isn't it good to be white?"

"Shiro is great," she replied gently, "I like Shiro, too. But, I think Itachi is great, too."

"..."

"Even though he didn't do anything wrong this time, Itachi still feels like a sinner after regaining his memory."

That wasn't her intention.

She hopes they can let go of the past and move towards a new future with relief.

But there will always be people who are stuck where they are.

"……Feel sorry."

Chaolu sighed, "What's the script after that? If I hadn't interrupted, how would you have arranged for me? I guess I would become the Mizukage, then pardon Zabuza, bring Haku back, and then you and Obito would help me open my eyes, take me to the moon to find the Rinnegan, and work hard to get me to open the Rinnegan...right?"

“This is the most perfect path.”

“Control freak.”

"..."

"Egomaniac."

"..."

"And my wedding with Bai will probably have to be held the way you want. You didn't even let me make the decision on my own at my wedding - that's really bad."

"……Feel sorry."

"Do you know why I don't call you Itachi-sensei, but just call you Itachi?"

"Because Chaolu is very strong now."

"...That's not the case! Wouldn't that make it seem like I look down on you?" Chaolu said helplessly, "Because 'Itachi-sensei' is a thing of the past. You are...just 'Itachi' now."

"..."

"Why aren't you talking?" Chaolu moved closer to him curiously: "Are you actually sad because I don't call you 'teacher' anymore?"

"I feel like I'm... terrible." Itachi whispered, "Every time I think I can't be any worse, something happens that makes me feel even worse."

"Huh? Like what?"

"Sometimes I think, if only I hadn't remembered it. If I hadn't remembered it, I wouldn't know what it felt like to have my hands stained with the blood of my people... I wouldn't be like this now, unable to bear living with the people I killed."

"Would it be better to forget?"

Chaolu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to him.

With her current ability, it is not difficult to seal part of his memory.

But before her hand could touch Itachi, he grabbed it.

"but……"

"but?"

"If I forget everything, I won't remember you."

Chaolu looked at this man who was struggling in self-loathing and pain.

"I can't forgive... After committing such a crime, there are still feelings in my life that are hard to let go..."

"You think you should just rot in agony and die without hesitation, right? You don't deserve precious feelings, happiness or joy anymore, right?"

Itachi acquiesced to this.

"But this time, no one got hurt because of you!"

Itachi raised his eyes and looked at her neck.

"Feel sorry……"

Chaolu said helplessly: "How many times do you have to say 'sorry'?"

Itachi raised his hand and gently touched the side of her neck.

That should have been a person's weak spot, but Chaolu was completely unprepared.

"At that time, I pinched you."

"Hmm?" Chaolu didn't react for a moment, "Are you talking about the time in the illusion when you brought Obito to find me?"

"Ah."

He took her hand and placed it on his neck.

"Look...it's not like no one got hurt because of me."

"Even if I say it's okay, Itachi won't be able to let it go. Is that right?"

"I shouldn't get away with it."

"Then how do you want to be punished?" Chaolu tentatively pinched Itachi's neck. Caught off guard, he showed a suffocating look for a moment: "Like this?"

Itachi didn't resist at all: "Okay."

Asaro tentatively began to use more force, but Itachi... should we say that he is worthy of being an outstanding elite ANBU, a genius ninja?

He also seemed to have done a great job in enduring torture without changing his expression.

In order to exert better force, Chaolu stood up and pressed him down on the bed.

——If you don't really put in some effort, it would probably be impossible to reduce the hatred and pain that Uchiha Itachi felt towards himself deep in his heart.

Itachi finally frowned unbearably and uttered a broken voice: "As soon as... Lu..."

Seeing that he was in pain, Chaolu hesitated for a moment between using more force and letting go, then chose to lower her head and bite his lips.

Itachi's eyes widened.

"I was thinking, since it's a punishment...if I do exactly what you want, wouldn't it become a reward?" Chaolu released her hand and gently stroked his Adam's apple.

Even for a weasel, the neck is a vulnerable part.

There were now several hideous marks on the side of the fair and slender neck, showing the shocking sense of being tortured.

"If Itachi's pain satisfies me, then that should be my compensation! Right?"

"..."

"But..." Chaolu was a little distressed, "Does it mean that I have to pinch your neck every time we kiss from now on?"

Itachi looked at her quietly, with an obedient look as if he was letting her do whatever she wanted.

"Ah—open your mouth."

"what……"

"Stick your tongue out."

"..."

"If you feel that being Itachi means there are too many painful things that you can't avoid... why not be my puppy?" She bent down, pressed her forehead against his, and smiled at him: "What do you think, Itachi?"

Itachi's tongue tip gently poked out from between his lips and teeth, and he closed his eyes when Chaolu kissed him.

Chaolu was very satisfied: "So from now on, you will be a control freak and will have to let me control you!"
