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

Best friends!

This is not the first time I have heard this from Naruto, but we don't say it every day, so every once in a while when I hear him reiterate it, I feel as happy and shocked as the first time I heard it.

What's more, this also shows that our relationship has been maintained well, without estrangement or change. This is of course something worth celebrating for the fragile emotions between people.

"But..." I laughed, "That's nothing. Naruto would do the same, right?"

Naruto was very excited: "Of course!! I will never allow anyone to hurt Chaolu! I will protect Chaolu and will not let Chaolu shed a tear, and I will never let Chaolu get hurt at all!"

"Ah, that's not what I meant. I'm not asking you if you would jump down to save me if it was me who fell..." I pulled Naruto, who followed me closely, and walked forward following Shino's flying insects. "I know Naruto would. No matter who falls, Naruto will definitely save him at all costs, because Naruto is a person who can't leave a helpless person alone."

Naruto was startled.

"If it was Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba, or Hinata who fell down... Naruto would do the same."

"I……"

"But I wish Naruto wouldn't do that."

He looked at me. “Why?”

“Because I’d be worried.”

Naruto whispered, "If I were strong enough, Asaka wouldn't be worried, right? If I were as powerful as Sasuke..."

I immediately got angry and asked, "Does Naruto think I'm not as good as Sasuke?"

"what?"

"Compared to Sasuke, I'm not much behind now!" I said with a breath, but then I felt a little guilty, "Then when I jump down, won't Naruto be worried about me?"

"I'm worried! I'm very worried!!"

"Yeah, so no matter what happens to Naruto, I will be worried."

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, "So, if it wasn't me who fell down just now, but Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba and Hinata, would Asaka also jump down like this to save them?"

I said without hesitation: "Yes."

Falling off a cliff is of course dangerous for a ninja, but it is not a situation that will definitely lead to death. Compared to ordinary people, ninjas have many ways to survive and save people when they have enough chakra.

I was particularly worried about Naruto falling, not only because his identity was very special to me, but also because he was not very proficient in ninjutsu.

It's not that he didn't try hard, but his progress in ninjutsu was always slow.

Teacher Kakashi seemed to think that this was normal. Although he felt helpless sometimes, he didn't take it too seriously.

I asked him several times and he just said that Naruto's situation was different.

I don't know what's the difference, but seeing Naruto trying so hard with little success, I can't help but want to help him, to see where the problem lies and whether it can be solved.

But I didn't want to put too much pressure on Naruto, and Orochimaru and Shikamaru also said to just let things take their course. After I asked Kakashi several times and he evaded the question for me, I just accepted it and stopped asking any more questions.

I was thinking about this when Naruto suddenly asked, "Even if it's Sasuke?"

"what?"

"If it was Sasuke who fell, would Chaolu also risk her life to save him?"

I choked suddenly.

After a moment, I said, "...I will."

"Then...I don't want Chaolu to do that either."

"why?"

"Because Chaolu might get hurt!"

"So it's ok for Naruto to get hurt?"

"I don't care what happens to me—"

"Then it doesn't matter to me."

Naruto's voice suddenly became louder: "How can it not matter what happens to Asano?!"

"Why doesn't it matter what happens to Naruto?"

Naruto looked very anxious. He was about to say something when I heard a familiar voice coming from not far ahead: "Since you still have the energy to quarrel, it seems that you are all okay."

Naruto and I immediately stopped talking and saw Uchiha Sasuke standing in front of us, wrapped in a cloak and looking spotless.

That dark hair, white skin, and noble and awe-inspiring demeanor, gave people a strange stimulation that made them feel ashamed of themselves, and think they were too embarrassed and couldn't help but get angry at him.

"Asaroya!" Shikamaru also rushed over from the other side. "Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine," I immediately stopped looking at Sasuke and responded to Shikamaru, "Where are Shino and the others?"

Shikamaru hurriedly stood in front of me and said, "Kiba and his two companions were buried under the snow. We didn't know where you were washed away, so Sasuke and I came out to look for you. Hinata used her Byakugan to find their location, and Shino went to inform the teacher."

I said, "Naruto and I weren't pushed too far away."

Naruto said, "I'm not buried."

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great."

He pulled off his cloak and wrapped it around me, looked at me carefully and asked, "Where's your mask?"

"I was buried in the snow and burned when I used Fire Release to escape."

"Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

I said, "I'm fine."

But Shikamaru frowned and separated the hands held by Naruto and me, ignoring his face which suddenly became very dissatisfied, and took off my gloves.

The outer layer of our gloves is waterproof, but when buried in the snow, ice and snow accumulate on the outer edge of the gloves, and the melted snow water will still flow in, causing them to no longer keep warm.

Shikamaru took off my gloves and squeezed my hand: "Can you still feel it?"

I said obediently: "It's a bit wooden."

"Maybe he got frostbite, and you still say 'okay'?" Shikamaru frowned, "Luckily he didn't turn blue-black."

Naruto didn't even know what chakra was during class, let alone this knowledge point. He asked, "What will happen if it turns blue-black?"

Sasuke also slowly walked over and said, "Amputation."

Naruto:"!!!"

I quickly said, "I'm not that serious."

Naruto stared at my hands, anxiously: "What should we do now?"

Shikamaru ignored him. He raised his hand and touched my cheek, nose, and ears. "What about these places? Are they numb too?"

I nodded.

Shikamaru asked me, "Can you contact Shino and see how long it will take for him to arrive?"

I said, “I was looking for him.”

Shikamaru should know how I found him, so he didn't say anything more, but I couldn't quite understand his tone: "Looking for him first... That guy's stuff is really convenient... How is it, is he here?"

I shook my head. “Maybe I’m a little far away from him. I don’t need to worry about my frostbite for now.”

Naruto immediately objected, "How can we just ignore it!?"

"Idiot," Sasuke said, "If you warm the wound now, she will feel the pain of frostbite. Then the pain may be too much to continue walking."

I said, "Hinata might need help, let's go meet up with her first."

Naruto said, "Then don't walk, Asaka!"

He squatted in front of me and said, "I'll just carry Zhaolu over."

Shikamaru said, "Before the teacher comes, we should all try to conserve our energy and take turns carrying him."

Sasuke glanced at Shikamaru, and I guess he was thinking: He shouldn't be counted as one of the people who took turns, right? Why?

Shikamaru immediately said: "Of course, Naruto and I should be enough, Sasuke doesn't need to come."

Before Sasuke could speak, I suddenly sensed the message from the chakra bug and said in surprise, "Shino is almost here!"

I turned and looked in the direction where the message came from, and sure enough, not long after, I saw several figures rushing towards me.

The leader was Iruka-sensei, followed by medical staff in white coats, and Shino at the end. When he saw us, Iruka-sensei immediately asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is anyone injured?! What happened to Naruto and Asaka falling off the cliff!?"

Shikamaru said, "Asaro was buried in the avalanche for a while and got frostbitten."

Naruto said, "I'm fine! Chaolu saved me, I wasn't buried!"

I added, "Naruto also helped save me. He spent quite a while digging out the snow!"

Iruka-sensei asked again, "Where are the others?"

Shikamaru pointed to the mountain, "Hinata is up there."

As soon as Shino stopped and hadn't said a word to me, Iruka-sensei urged him, "Shino, lead the way to find Hinata!"

He had no choice but to look at me again with a little worry, and rushed to the mountain with the medical staff and the wounded.

Teacher Iruka stayed where he was. Seeing that Naruto was in high spirits, he checked my frostbitten area again and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big problem."

He looked at the boys around me and said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, you can help carry Asaka out while the medical staff rescue Hinata and the others."

Sasuke was stunned.

Naruto immediately shouted, "Wait, why don't you let me carry you!?"

Teacher Iruka said unhappily, "Didn't you fall off the cliff again and help dig snow for a long time? It's good enough that others don't carry you, but you still want to carry others? Save your energy!"

Shikamaru said, "I can do that, too."

Iruka-sensei shook his head. "You don't even have your cloak anymore. It'll be windy when we travel later, and I'm afraid you won't be able to keep warm enough. Sasuke is better equipped."

Shikamaru:"……"

Sasuke: "..."

I didn't think Sasuke would agree, but as soon as I looked at him, he turned his face away and squatted in front of me.

"Come up."
