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

Silent all night.

It's just that Shikamaru was lying a little closer to me.

The next morning, when I woke up, I heard Shikamaru and Sasuke talking in low voices.

Sasuke asked, "Why are you fighting?"

Shikamaru:"……"

He sighed, and said in a deep tone: "Well... after being together for a long time, there will always be quarrels."

"Did you make her angry?"

"My father once said that quarreling is a way of communication rather than venting, otherwise you will always pay a higher price." Shikamaru said softly: "I thought I understood, but it turns out... you won't understand unless you experience it yourself..."

Sasuke frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's just that it's best not to quarrel unless you can't help it."

I climbed to my feet and couldn't help but glare at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru: "...But then again, even if you can't help it, you have to endure it! A ninja is someone who can endure things that ordinary people can't endure...!"

Sasuke glanced at him, speechless.

Uchiha Sasuke was there, so I didn't say anything. I just snorted, turned away, and started to organize my equipment, check my weapons, and do some warm-up exercises.

Not long after, Shikamaru came over silently: "Asaro, good morning."

I turned my back and pretended not to hear.

"Hey, do you want to eat the soldier's grain balls I brought? They are said to be tempura flavored."

I couldn't help but ask, "Where are the tempura-flavored Bingliang balls?"

Shikamaru smiled, and he stuffed the Bingliang Ball into my hand: "Try it, although it's not tempura flavored, our Nara family's special Bingliang Ball tastes much better than the ones sold outside."

I asked, "Is this one of the greater costs you were talking about?"

"Ahem." He touched his nose awkwardly: "Of course not."

I caught a glimpse of Uchiha Sasuke walking out from the corner of my eye, and quickly started eating and drinking to replenish my energy.

I don't want to be mocked by him for holding me back.

Shikamaru stayed by my side the whole time: "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"Where did you go wrong?"

"I shouldn't express my dissatisfaction in this way. I should communicate with you properly..."

I squinted at him: "Which way?"

"That's the way we quarrel out of anger." Shikamaru said, "You shouldn't use this method to confirm my importance to you, and you shouldn't be sad..."

"Will you still do this in the future?"

Shikamaru shook his head vigorously, "Not again."

Seeing his braids swinging up behind his head like a puppy's tail, I snorted and couldn't help but find it a little funny, but I tried to hold it in: "You'd better be like this."

He looked at me, curved his eyes and smiled.

I quickly finished my breakfast, put on my mask again, stood up and looked at Shikamaru and said, "Do you remember what you said before?"

"what?"

"You said that the ninja team should be formed in groups of three. Naruto and I will isolate and exclude that unlucky guy."

Shikamaru was stunned.

"What about you? You huddled up to me and pushed Sasuke away!"

Shikamaru smiled awkwardly, stood up and went out: "I'll go find him."

I adjusted my mask and goggles and followed him out.

Soon, we heard the sounds of fighting nearby.

Shouts, crashes, weapons breaking through the air, the sounds of ninjutsu...

We listened attentively for a while, and Shikamaru judged: "It's quite far from us."

Sasuke snorted softly, obviously realizing that the other party's strength was not enough for him to take seriously.

He glanced at Shikamaru, "Give and take."

Shikamaru's expression remained unchanged as he whispered, "This is the price."

"That's not Naruto's voice." I pretended not to hear their exchange, "The fighting style doesn't sound like Shino either."

Shikamaru turned to me and said, "Let them touch each other outside first."

We moved to hide behind a nearby rock, and soon the battle was decided.

The winner takes away the loser's points and leaves, while the loser loses the value of being attacked, but must snatch other people's points to gain points.

The direction the former left happened to pass by our snow cave. When the other party saw the cave entrance, he knew there must be someone nearby and immediately asked with alert: "Who is it?"

Sasuke and Shikamaru looked at each other.

Shikamaru said: "Since it's delivered to my door, I'll accept it."

Sasuke jumped out from behind the rock and opened his mouth to release a huge fireball technique with surging flames.

"Oh no! It's Uchiha Sasuke!"

They immediately prepared to evacuate, but we rushed out and stopped them.

I looked at the other person unconvinced and said, "Isn't my Fire Style powerful? Why do you only guess Sasuke and not me when you see powerful Fire Style?"

The other party didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aren't you a group?"

"Even if they are a group, they all have their own names!"

I angrily blew a mouthful of Great Fireball Jutsu at him as well: "How is my Fire Style worse than Sasuke's?"

If his Fireball Jutsu is like a rose, then my Fireball Jutsu can also be like a rose!

Under my powerful fireball technique, the opponent had no time to reply. He was blinded by the approaching scorching fireball and could only dive into the snow to avoid it.

We are all classmates, and most of them know whether they can win or not as soon as they meet. Even if they are unwilling to accept it, there is no chance of winning once they start fighting.

Shikamaru and Sasuke grabbed the 20 points of their group, and the winner just now was treated the same as his defeated opponent in the blink of an eye.

Looking at their backs as they left, although I felt a little unfair, I also knew that Sasuke's Fire Style was indeed stronger than mine - although only slightly, it was still stronger than mine.

After all, during the time when I was working, he was still practicing diligently and never got tired for a moment.

I turned and walked towards Shikamaru and the others, and suddenly remembered a piece of knowledge that the teacher had mentioned in class - to tell whether there is a relationship between two people, or how close they are, you don't need to listen to what they say, you can just look at the subconscious distance between the two people.

Sometimes the body is less likely to lie than the soul. We will subconsciously stand closer to familiar and close people, and subconsciously keep our distance from strangers and wary people.

And when I stood next to Shikamaru, I found that the distance between him and Sasuke was obviously wider than the distance between him and me.

In other words, according to the teacher's theory, the relationship between Shikamaru and I is much better than the relationship between Shikamaru and Sasuke.

…But speaking of it, no matter who Sasuke stands with, there’s always a wide gap between them.

With so many classmates, he seems to have no one close to him.

In the afternoon, we finally met an old acquaintance - Ya.

As soon as he saw us, he raised his hands high: "Hey hey hey! Don't be so hasty, we don't have any points!"

I asked curiously, “Who did you run into?”

Kiba sighed, "Shino."

I don't know what he was thinking about, his expression was ugly: "He actually threatened me that if I didn't admit defeat, he would let the bugs crawl into Akamaru's brain through his ears... This is too much!!"

I:"……"

Sasuke: "..."

Shikamaru: "...I really don't want to meet an opponent like this."

Ya's shoulders slumped. The scene was so horrific that the morale of their entire group was low.

Shikamaru: "In which direction did you meet them?"

Ya grinned: "I won't tell you, we are rivals now."

I smiled and said, "We can still avenge you."

He curled his lips: "I don't believe you can fight with Shino."

Shikamaru coughed dryly.
