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

Chapter 9 Genius and Fool

The next day, the alarm clock rang, and Naruto and I opened our eyes at the same time. He saw himself in my arms, and for a moment he seemed to be unable to react, and said "Huh?" in confusion.

I naturally withdrew my hand and whispered to him, "I have to hurry back. If Naruto is sleepy, you can continue to sleep for a while."

He looked at me sleepily.

When I changed my clothes, he suddenly woke up, "Chao Lu!"

"Ok?"

"--nothing."

I folded his pajamas and placed them beside the bed and changed into my own clothes.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Yeah." Naruto looked at me blankly: "It feels like a dream."

"Ok?"

"That's it, that's it—" He touched the place on the bed where I had been lying, "It's amazing... It's the first time someone is with me... Spending the night in my house..."

He reminded me: "I forgot to say that!"

"what?"

"Good morning, Naruto."

"Good morning——But can't we say this to each other at school?!"

Seeing that he seemed a little dissatisfied with the lack of intimacy, I remembered that Orochimaru said that close contact would help the relationship progress.

Sleeping in the same bed is a very high level of intimacy, so all intimate acts below that should be allowed, right?

I thought so and leaned over to kiss Naruto's cheek.

"Well...I'll be out first. See you at school."

"Wait!" He pulled me back, not wanting to be outdone, and kissed me on the face, then he showed the same bright smile as before. "See you at school!"

We didn't think kissing had any special meaning, we just thought it was a way to express intimacy.

I jumped out of the window and rushed back to the orphanage just in time for roll call.

No one asked me where I went last night, which saved me a lot of trouble.

On the way to school, I unexpectedly met Shikamaru.

He handed me the breakfast he wanted me to eat today, then looked me up and down: "Did you go to Naruto's house last night?"

"Ah."

"That guy is really a man of action..." Shikamaru was a little helpless: "I asked my dad, he said that Hatake Kakashi is a reliable person."

I know he is not a bad person.

"Thank you for causing trouble."

"So..." He scratched his head: "Why do you speak honorifics to me? You've been doing this since we first met."

“Because I think you’re amazing.”

"…Are you teasing me?"

He muttered, and suddenly got a little angry and put his hands on my head, ruffling my hair.

Seeing my bewildered look, Shikamaru's originally depressed expression suddenly burst into laughter.

"Forget it... You are such a weird guy."

He smiled and used his fingers to comb my messy hair. "I'm sorry for messing up your hair."

"It's nothing. I won't be mad at Shikamaru."

"why?"

"Because Shikamaru is someone I respect."

"So why do you ask? What did I do?"

"Because Shikamaru is very reliable. Whenever I see Shikamaru, I feel at ease, thinking, ah, if Shikamaru is here, then there will be no problem. He will definitely find a way. If it's his plan, then it will definitely work."

I wanted to look up, but he held my head down and wouldn't let me look at his expression.

"...I don't understand you." He turned and walked away, "I'd better go find Ino and borrow a comb for you."

Looking at his back, I feel like I have no idea what he is thinking.

Is this how people with high IQ behave? It really confuses people like me with average IQ.

By the time they got to school, Naruto was already there.

We smiled at each other, and he waved to me vigorously, asking me to sit next to him.

I had almost finished combing my hair with my fingers on the way, but as soon as I sat down next to Naruto, Shikamaru put a comb on my desk, glanced at Naruto next to me, and turned and left.

Naruto was confused and asked curiously, "What is Shikamaru doing?"

I couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so I combed her hair again and returned the comb to Ino myself.

She looked at me with a smile, as if she knew something I didn't.

Ino asked me, "Do you hate Shikamaru?"

I shook my head, not knowing why she asked that.

She smiled, "So what do you think of Shikamaru?"

I nodded.

"How good?"

"very good."

"How about compared to Naruto?"

"He is different from Naruto."

"What's the difference?"

Naruto is the mission target.

Shikamaru is the one who designs and issues missions.

How can this be the same?

But I can't say it.

Seeing my embarrassment, Ino smiled and said, "I heard that Naruto looks a lot like the only family member you remember from the past, right?"

"……Um."

"Is that so? Well, it's nothing. I'm just asking casually."

I returned to my seat and saw that when the class was about to start, Shikamaru and Choji came back from outside the classroom and sat in the seat next to Ino.

She leaned over and said something to Shikamaru with a smile, and I suspected that she told Shikamaru about our conversation just now because he suddenly raised his eyes to look at me.

Perhaps he didn't expect that I was looking at him, Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked away in panic.

Ino leaned over the table and laughed even harder.

I'm a little worried...

Ino, are you teasing Shikamaru?

However, Zhu, Lu, and Die have always had a good relationship, and it is not my place as an outsider to say anything about the jokes between them.

I glanced at Naruto beside me and saw that he had fallen asleep on the table again.

I touched his hair. He was not sleeping deeply. He raised his eyes from his arms and saw that it was me. He rubbed my hand, said nothing, and closed his eyes again.

After class, Shikamaru came over and looked at Naruto and complained: "How can he sleep so well? Did you...sleep very late last night?"

I thought about it and said, "Is he going to bed after eleven?"

Shikamaru frowned, "That's a bit late. What did you do to stay up so late?"

"I didn't do anything... I ate a bucket of instant noodles before going to bed?"

"Won't your stomach feel uncomfortable if you eat so late?"

"I'm okay."

"Don't eat so late next time."

"Ok."

"You really are...you'll agree to anything someone says."

"Eh? No."

"How come you didn't? No matter what Naruto said, you agreed. The same goes for me, you agreed to whatever I said."

"Because it's Naruto and you."
