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

The more secretive Aburame Togen is, the more valuable the secret he hides is to discover.

But pressing forward is not a good idea, so Zhinai gives up for the time being, takes a step back, and goes back home.

Looking at his back, Aburame Togen's eyes darkened slightly.

The morning dew consumed almost everything and made the world come back to life.

Such an opportunity is already a rare miracle and gift, so even if his parents are still dead and he is still unable to establish close relationships with others since childhood because of the nano-poison insects, Aburame Tsuchiya does not feel that he has the right to resent her.

In this life, he was never recruited into the Root by Danzo, and neither was his only friend Yamanaka Fuu.

But without that connection, he didn't know how to approach him, and they were no longer friends.

She knows everything.

She sees everything.

So, besides Shino, Tone's only friend in this life is... just her.

How old was she when he first saw her...six, or seven?

He only remembered that it was a fireworks display. He couldn't go to crowded places, but he was eager to participate in the festival, so he ran out secretly. However, he forgot to bring money, so he could only stare at the food on the stalls. There were unexpectedly many people, and he was worried about accidentally hurting others, so he panicked and hid in the woods.

"Why are you here alone? To get roots?"

Qu Gen was surprised when he heard someone calling his name from behind.

He looked back and saw a girl in white clothes deep in the woods looking at him with tenderness and worry. Fireflies were surrounding her, like the legendary fox fairy.

The fox fairy is certainly not afraid of the poisonous insects on mortals, so she will hold his hand and give him a warm hug.

She would ask him what he wanted to eat and buy him lots and lots of gifts.

When he excitedly and gratefully called her "Lady Fox Fairy" with full of trust and dependence, she just smiled hesitantly.

What made him feel most regretful and ashamed was that he once said shamelessly in his childhood: "When I grow up, I want to marry the fox fairy!"

She stroked his hair: "Maybe when Qugen grows up, he won't think so anymore."

"No way!" Qu Gen said firmly at that time: "I will love Master Fox Fairy forever!"

Ah, he only now understood what she meant when she said that he would not think that way when he grows up!

He thought she was a fox fairy who was kind enough to take pity on a lonely child, but he didn't expect...

Chaolu, the goddess of the stars, was said by everyone who knew her to be very gentle and kind. She had indeed seen his loneliness and solitude, so she felt as if she had a responsibility for him. As long as she was able to do so, she would accompany him, take care of him, and let him grow up as happily as possible.

But how did she want him to cope with it?

After he regained his memory?

Maybe she is not gentle or kind at all.

Maybe she actually had some bad intentions, and was just being condescending and playful just to fool him around, enjoy his ugly behavior, and then laugh secretly in her heart.

Why does she always bring warmth, gentle sweetness to others, but only give him bitter, sour and sad feelings?

...Even though...he had to admit that there were happy moments during their time together, but stirring honey into a bitter background would only make the final taste more weird.

In his two lifetimes, Aburame Qugen had never dealt with such a complicated and embarrassing situation.

He drank.

And drunk.

It was a disaster, the nano-poison insects went completely out of control while he was unconscious.

Hyuga Neji rushed over from the moon and discussed with the Fourth Hokage how to deal with and control him.

Nano-poison insects are extremely harmful. Even if a loss of control does not cause any serious consequences, as long as it proves that there is a possibility of loss of control, it is enough to cause fear in others.

But what Aburame Torine cares about most is - why didn't she come in person?

Why - since she considered herself his nurturer and caregiver - didn't she show up when he encountered such a big thing?

Hyuga Neji went to the isolation cell and brought him out.

He was wearing a snow-white robe, similar in style to Chaolu's.

He stood there, perhaps because he had been on the moon for too long, and seemed to be very alienated from everything on Earth.

"Asahi has already left for another world a few days ago." Neji seemed to be explaining to him, "What are your plans now? Do you want to continue staying at the Aburame's house, or go to the moon with me?"

“…I’m not going to the moon.”

Neji nodded, "I will report this incident to her later, and I will also include the truth about your decision. If Chaolu allows you to stay on Earth, I will not interfere."

Qu Gen asked inexplicably: "What if she doesn't allow it?"

Neji looked at him indifferently with his white eyes: "You won't forget how you got to her, right? You wanted to kill her. She saved your life, please don't push your luck anymore. Please stop acting like a spoiled child to get her attention in the future."

what……

Is this what his loss of control means to outsiders?

If Neji, who is closest to her, said this, would she think so too?

A strong sense of shame surged up, and Aburame Torinese would not allow her to look down upon him with contempt.

So later, when Neji reluctantly sent someone to inform him that Chaolu wanted him to go to the moon, he flatly refused without any room for maneuver.

During this stalemate, Shino turned 16.

He had thought that according to the bond between Asaka and Shino, she would appear in front of Shino.

But she didn't.

...haven’t come back yet?

Did something happen in the other world? Or was he injured?

……

2 month 3 day.

The day before the beginning of spring, the village suddenly announced that a fireworks display would be held to celebrate Setsubun.

There had never been such a ceremony before, and for some reason, Shino had an intuitive feeling that Asaro had returned.

He headed towards the mountain as if guided, and halfway left the crowd and headed deep into the woods.

When they were young, they hid in this deserted place, and Shino used his swarm of insects to light up the stars for her in the human world.

But now, she no longer needs anyone else, and can go and see the real Milky Way stars by herself.

A group of fireflies flew forward leisurely from behind Shino like flowing clouds, guiding him on the way forward.

A black line fell from his sleeves, adorning the flying insects in front of him. That was his swarm of insects.

Man's creation also radiates light halfway through, and thus merges into God's creation.

At the end of the road, a woman in white seemed to have always been there, waiting for him as if she had never disappeared.

Fireflies scattered in the sky like broken gold in the surrounding night. Shino stared at her snow-white hair, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

When Zhaolu opened her mouth to speak, he spoke first: "Long time no see."

A faint smile appeared on his face: "Chao Lu."

"Long time no see, Shino."

The fireworks rose into the sky not far away, and with a "whoosh" sound, they leaped into the high starry sky, and then with a "bang!", they exploded into brilliant fireworks.

Zhaolu explained softly: "I'm sorry, I should have rushed back on your birthday... You must have a lot of questions to ask me, but I didn't make it in time..."

Shino’s birthday is on January 1rd, and after missing it, I rushed back on February 23rd, so it wasn’t considered too long of a miss.

Shino shook his head. "I don't have many questions. The words are not important, it's the actions that are important."

He said calmly: "You have always been with me and have always looked after me."

Ever since the first fireworks display he could remember as a child, his memory of every fireworks display has included fireflies flying all over the sky and a smiling girl in white who would watch the fireworks with him.

At that time, Shino didn't know what happened on the moon. He asked her ignorantly: "Are you the fox fairy?"

"No." Zhaolu said: "I am a human. My name is Zhaolu."

Shino looked disappointed.

"Shino, don't you wish I was human?"

"Because...if Chaolu is a fox fairy, then only I can see her."

Chaolu couldn't help laughing: "Children really say the truth. If I was the only one who saw Shino, wouldn't Shino feel sad?"

Shino said seriously: "No way."

He placed his parasite on his fingertips and said to Chaolu: "The meaning of the parasite can only be known by its owner. In this respect, it can only be seen by me... I will always watch it, observe it, and be with it, from birth to death... Sometimes, it is enough to be watched by only one person in a lifetime... "

However, Shino later changed his mind and said to Chaolu: "But you are right... Chaolu can't be seen by only me."

Chaolu was curious about why he changed his mind: "Why?"

"Because the moon is to illuminate the world." Shino said: "It is enough for the bug to be seen by one person, but the moon must be seen by many, many people, because it is to point the way for everyone."

The young boy could not understand Chaolu's complex smile at that time, but the boy now fully understands it.

"I don't have many questions for you." Returning to the present moment, Shino said, "Just one thing."

"what?"

"Did anything happen between you and Qu Gen?"

"Eh? Well... because it involves taking the roots... well, how should I put it? If he didn't tell you, I can't say it..."

Shino stared at her troubled face, "At that time, your eye technique was still controlling memories, right?"

Chaolu paused.

"You discovered that he was also a ninja from the Aburame clan. You may have also read his memories and found that he had a close relationship with me. Given your personality, you would have tried your best to keep him alive. But at that time, Togen was affiliated with the Root and had the mission to kill you. If he was alive, he would never give up. In this case, the most likely development is that you modified his memories?

But modifying memory is a huge project. Once any details are overlooked, they will become obvious flaws. It is better to eliminate them all.

But you were very resistant to modifying other people's memories before, and I'm afraid you wouldn't make such an arbitrary decision, so I guess you can temporarily block his memory and restore it later."

Chaolu: “…”

"But what would a person's brain look like if it had no memories?" Shino said, "Like a newborn baby? But Togen's body is undoubtedly an adult. You seem to have kept him with you all the time, because his nano-poison bugs are harder to control without memories. Others are likely to die, and only you can take care of him."

"…Did you take care of him like a baby?"

"Shino, you..." Chaolu looked at him in surprise: "Are you a genius?"

Aburame Shino has never been called a genius, but to Asaro, he is no less than those geniuses.

Shino shook his head: "I'm not a genius, I just watched you for a long time, observed you, and understood you."

After saying this, he thought to himself: So, the mother that Qu Gen mentioned... could it be...

Shino paused, then looked up into the girl's eyes: "Asaro, do you... like being called that?"

He leaned towards her and whispered in her ear, "Mom?"

……

The five major ninja villages on Earth do not attach much importance to history. Even in officially published books, there are always many errors in years and mismatched records.

There were no dedicated historians on the moon at first.

But things changed after Aburame Shino showed up.

It is said that he had always been following the Goddess of Chen, carefully recording her every word and action, leaving behind countless detailed historical materials.

Much later, his private manuscripts were discovered.

On the last page, he left the following sentence:

May God always watch over our long journey.

But when the goddess looks away, we must learn to win her gaze back.

Just like insects cannot speak, but if they form special patterns on the road, humans will stop out of curiosity.
