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

He was happy, but I was unhappy.

"When you're unhappy, I feel sad too." I sat on him and looked down at his face, "Then when I'm unhappy, is Shikamaru sad?"

Shikamaru's eyes turned away evasively.

He avoided my question!

I leaned over, angrily turned his face back, put my hands on his cheeks, and made him look directly at my face: "I don't want to make Shikamaru sad, so I want to reconcile with you, but what about Shikamaru? If Shikamaru doesn't want to reconcile with me, does it matter if I'm sad?"

"Of course not!"

"What's that? Shikamaru was so cold to me and didn't care about me at all!"

"Of course I care about you. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't be angry!"

I shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Even I know that if you care about someone, you will only want to make them happy! You said you are angry with me because you care about me, but do you think you are sad because you care about me?"

I got angrier and angrier as I spoke: "Don't think you can fool me or cheat me just because you're smarter than me!"

"..."

Seeing that he was speechless, I angrily said, "It's a good thing I didn't practice love with Shikamaru in the beginning!"

Shikamaru paused: "What?"

"I was just thinking, if I had become a love partner with Shikamaru at that time, if we had a quarrel, it would definitely be like this. Shikamaru ignored me, and I was the only one who didn't dare let you find out that I was secretly looking at you. I was obviously feeling very painful, but I still couldn't help but pay attention to you."

Shikamaru looked at me incredulously: "So... that's too cunning...!"

I sniffed, not understanding what he meant: "Ino is right, liking someone really makes you feel uncomfortable. But why is it Shikamaru who makes me uncomfortable? I trust you so much, but you make me suffer. Even though I am in pain, I still want to be with Shikamaru, but Shikamaru doesn't want to be with me!"

"Wait!!" Shikamaru yelled, "Don't jump to that conclusion!"

He struggled to get up: "Calm down, let's go through it all from the beginning..."

But I pushed him back into the snow. He tried to get up again, and I pushed him back again.

After repeating this several times, Shikamaru lay listlessly in the snow, no longer struggling.

I angrily lifted up my goggles and wiped away the few tears that I couldn't help but spill with the back of my hand.

Shikamaru helplessly lay in the snow and looked at me: "If you and I became a love partner, maybe it wouldn't happen..."

"Can't do anything?"

He was silent for a moment, then glanced at the snow cave behind me: "...No, you're right. If we were romantic partners and encountered what happened to Sasuke, I would probably be...even more angry..."

"Even angrier?" I widened my eyes, unable to imagine - Shikamaru was already so angry that I was overwhelmed, could he actually get even angrier? "Why?"

He stared at me straightly: "Because romantic partners are also involved in love... Love is something exclusive. If Asaka was concerned about Sasuke when we were in a romantic relationship, it would be a betrayal to me if I didn't explain it clearly."

"Of course I know that love is exclusive. Wasn't it just to decide whether it was better to be Naruto's lover or family member that I practiced with Shino?"

"You've chosen a good target." Shikamaru sighed, "People from the Aburame family...are never used to revealing themselves directly...whether it's their looks, bodies, or their feelings...if they are more used to hiding, they are just passive idiots."

"What do you mean?"

Shikamaru said simply, "It just means that he's not aggressive enough."

"Aggressive?" I don't understand how this has anything to do with Shino's aggressiveness. Although he is not the type of person who is good at frontal attacks in battle, Shino has never retreated when he needs to face the enemy head-on. "But Shikamaru obviously hides in the back more often!"

Shikamaru said, "But we in the Nara family... once we have determined our goal, no matter how troublesome it is, we will make a plan in our heads and achieve it."

"So, the people of the Nara family are very aggressive?"

Shikamaru looked at me with a smile and said nothing.

I muttered in surprise, "Shikamaru looks lazy and not scary at all... I always feel that an aggressive person should be someone like Sasuke, who looks sharp and hard to mess with."

"There are many ways to achieve a goal. Our family and the Uchiha family have different levels of aggressiveness."

Thinking of Lord Shikamaru, my anger towards him suddenly subsided a lot.

I said admiringly, "The people of the Nara family are really amazing. Shikamaru will surely grow up to be an amazing person."

Shikamaru asked me: "Excuse me, can I get up now? It's so cold in the snow."

"But when Shikamaru ignores me, my heart and body are colder than being in the snow."

Shikamaru:"……"

"Okay," he closed his eyes, "I'll lie down for a while. I'll lie down as long as Chaolu wants me to."

"…I'm punishing you! Why are you laughing?" I grabbed his collar again in anger: "You haven't told me how Shikamaru felt when we quarreled!"

"How can I be happy if you're not feeling well?"

"I don't believe it! I was just thinking about Shikamaru. Was Shikamaru thinking about me? You didn't even respond when I was talking!"

"You only think about me when I'm around. Aren't you, Shino, and Naruto very happy when I'm not around?"

"Then aren't you happy with Ino and Choji?"

"unhappy."

He answered so quickly that it made me choke.

I reorganized my thoughts and said, "We are in the same group. I took the initiative to speak up, but you ignored me!"

"How do I know you're talking to me?" He turned his head away and stopped looking at me. "I don't want to disturb you talking to Sasuke."

"Stop talking nonsense! I later said, 'Young Master of the Nara Family'!"

"So when you called my name later, didn't I reply you immediately?"

No matter what, it seemed like he was right. I said angrily, “You…you…”

"Anyway, anyway, you just don't care about me at all! Even if you break up with me, you won't feel any pain at all! You don't even want to reconcile with me!"

Shikamaru said helplessly: "You don't believe anything I say, right?"

"You haven't reflected on your actions at all! I don't want to pay any attention to you anymore!"

I angrily left him lying in the snow and turned back to the snow cave.

Sasuke was resting with his eyes closed deep in the snow cave. I ignored him and went to the side, pulled my cloak and curled up to lie down.

Not long after, Shikamaru's footsteps were heard and he came back.

Sasuke asked, "What happened to her?"

"Nothing." Shikamaru's voice was filled with a resigned numbness: "Get familiar with how my dad feels when he quarrels with my mom."
