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

He held my hand until we left the cemetery, and we didn't let go because we were afraid of being seen and attracting attention.

My heart felt heavy because I knew I had received a promise.

A promise from Uchiha Sasuke.

His promise was so sincere, but I didn't know if I could accept it.

Because I can't respond to him with the same sincerity, which is unfair to him and makes me feel that I owe him something.

I suddenly said, "Naruto's dream is to become a Hokage. If your future dream is to become the captain of the Konoha Police Department, will you become superiors and subordinates?"

Sasuke was stunned: "'Kage' is the title of the strongest person in a village... How could that loser really become Hokage?"

But...the only one who can fight you in the end is him.

Good news: Sasuke isn't interested in becoming Hokage right now.

Bad news: Sasuke doesn't seem to be convinced by Naruto. What if he suddenly opposes Naruto when he becomes Hokage in the future and the Battle of the Valley of the End happens again?

I was a little worried: "Who would Sasuke accept as Hokage? Shikamaru?"

Sasuke disagreed, "Just his trouble-fearing, unmotivated personality? Besides, he's not strong enough."

He said this about Shikamaru as if he was evaluating Shikamaru-sama.

I felt a little angry, but when I thought that he was Uchiha Sasuke, I had to grit my teeth and bear it.

After all, if we compare martial arts skills, Shikamaru-sama is indeed...

Even a strange being like Orochimaru could only run for his life.

"If Naruto and Shikamaru aren't good enough... who else do you think is good enough?"

"That's true..." Sasuke thought for a moment, "Maybe I'll become the Hokage in the end."

I was nearly scared to death.

"I me me!"

Sasuke asked in confusion, "Huh?"

My heart was pounding, for I was afraid that Sasuke would change his mind and become Hokage. "I'll be the Hokage! You can't compete with me. You can just...you can just be the captain of the police force and assist me!"

Sasuke wanted to speak, but I interrupted him, "From now on you will be my right-hand man! How do you think that is?"

He was startled, then smiled, "There has never been a female Hokage... But you're the only one I recognize! Maybe Asaka will become the first female Kage! You're truly worthy of being a child of our Uchiha clan."

That wouldn't be...

I know that Lady Tsunade will be the first female Hokage.

But it is still a long way from her taking the top position.

"...That last sentence is so old-fashioned. Where did you learn that from?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to be praised like that?"

"No way! I am myself! If you cover me with the three words Uchiha, it seems like I live for Uchiha, but I am not like that!"

"Hmm..." Sasuke thought for a moment, "You're right. The Uchiha continues because of our existence, not because we exist for the Uchiha."

"…Are you really okay?"

"how?"

"Your gentleness now makes me feel a little scared." I said sincerely, "It feels like no matter what I say or do... you will only praise me for what I say and do... I am very panicked, worried that there is something wrong with your brain."

"But," Sasuke hesitated, "I really don't think there's anything wrong with you."

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him at all. I was the only one who looked at him anxiously. I felt that the expression on his face was as if it had been shrouded in dark clouds before, but now it was like the clear sky after the clouds had dissipated.

I pray that his dream at this moment can last as long as possible and be maintained as long as possible.

If he really becomes the captain of the Konoha Police Force in the end, will the Battle of the Valley of the End not even occur?

Is my mission successful?

But now we haven't even formed Team 7, it's too early, and there are too many opportunities for Sasuke to regret or change his mind.

"Come to think of it, you said before that someone from the Hyuga family found us and sent us to the hospital...who was it?"

"You probably don't know him. Hyuga Neji."

"what?"

Sasuke paused: "Do you know him?"

"I know him! He's a year older than us, and Naruto and I went to look for him!"

He frowned: "When?"

“In first and second grade.”

"What are you looking for him for? It must be that Naruto guy trying to pull you to do some mischief again!"

"No! I wanted to go find him, and Naruto came with me."

"Are you interested in him?"

"I was interested at the time, but I only took a look at it from a distance and never saw it again."

"why?"

"Naruto and I both think he looks too much like you." I wrinkled my nose, "I think it's enough for us to just get to know you."

“…It doesn’t sound like a good thing.”

"He's very good-looking, and he's like you in that respect."

Sasuke glanced at me and snorted.

I changed the subject and asked, "Should we go find him and thank him?"

"perhaps."

"Should we buy some gifts? What should we buy?"

"Isn't thanking you enough? He is from the Hyuga family, he has everything he needs."

"Even if he doesn't need it, we can still buy him a gift, right?" I looked at Sasuke, who seemed to be so righteous that it didn't matter if he didn't buy him a gift, and wondered if his parents hadn't taught him this before they died?

When I think about it, I, who have read many novels and comics and have always been regarded as lacking common sense, actually have more common sense than Uchiha Sasuke!

I suddenly became excited: "We have to buy some fruit!"

Sasuke obviously didn't understand why I was so excited. He looked at me strangely: "You are so concerned... because it's Hyuga Neji?"

"I am indeed a little curious. It's been so long, I wonder how he is doing...?"

We walked to the door of the orphanage, and somehow I felt very strange when Sasuke stood outside the door and watched me walk in.

Because he kept looking at me, I walked into the yard and looked back before opening the door. He was still there and hadn't left.

That made me feel like... I left him alone.

But I can't follow him back to the Uchiha base, right?

I fell on my bed, feeling tired but unable to sleep.

When he sent me away, the look in his eyes always appears in front of my eyes. No matter how I try to calm down and forget it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

This is too strange!

I guess I'm just going back to where I'm supposed to be?

He just wanted to go back to where he was supposed to go...but why did that separation bring about such an inexplicable pain?

Where does that pain come from?

Was it the feeling that was rising in my heart, or was it something I felt from Sasuke?

I tried to understand why I was so restless and fidgety, to figure out what was going on, but my mind was a mess.

Finally, I sat up from the bed, yelled "Damn it" in my heart, rushed out the door, and ran towards the Uchiha base.

At this time, the sun had set and the street lights were on.

I thought I would see Sasuke on the road, but I didn't expect that guy to walk so fast. I didn't see him until I saw the gate of the Uchiha residence.

He was standing not far from the entrance, looking up at the flickering street lights in front of him.

I realized that another street light was out of order.

The Uchiha compound was deserted. Even with all the street lights on, it was eerily desolate.

The gradually broken street lights, with no one to repair them, make the area look even more desolate.

From a distance, I saw that the street light went out again and did not light up again. The sudden darkness completely enveloped Sasuke's figure.

I couldn't help but rush over and yell, "Sasuke!"

At this moment, the extinguished street light suddenly lit up again, illuminating the surprised look on Sasuke's face when he turned around and looked over.

He looked at me in surprise.

"Um..." I stammered, "Um... the fireworks display in July... although it's a few months early now, but... do you want to go with us?"

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
