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

Chapter 304 You Say Something

"what?"

Shikamaru's words had just fallen when Sasuke's voice came from not far away.

He stood about five steps away from us, frowning slightly: "Who killed the Five Kage?"

Shikamaru: "...Why are you here?"

"When I came back, I found that you were all gone, so I followed the traces to find you." His eyes swept from Shikamaru, looked at Naruto, and finally fell into my eyes, as if asking "What are you talking about?"

But it's too troublesome to explain now.

However, it is too difficult to gain Shikamaru's trust, and the benefits gained are not much compared to the effort required.

I looked directly at Naruto and said, "Naruto, do you believe me?"

"I believe you!"

I nodded and looked into his eyes earnestly: "That's good. As long as Naruto believes in me, that's enough."

Shikamaru frowned: "Hey..."

Seeing that he was going to press the issue, Naruto turned around and stood in front of me, looking at him seriously and said, "Shikamaru, Chaolu has promised me that she will show me all her memories when the time comes. I believe her!"

Shikamaru:"……"

He was silent for a while, then covered his forehead with his hands in anger and headache: "You...! Forget it, since you said so, I won't say anything more."

He frowned and gave me one last look, "But I can't feel at ease... I'll keep an eye on you."

Shikamaru turned and left. Sasuke stood there, looked at Naruto and me, was silent for a moment, and followed Shikamaru's footsteps.

It wasn't until we were the only two left that Naruto turned around and smiled at me sheepishly, then continued: "Summoning Kaguya-hime... The Ten-Tails will turn into a sacred tree, and then the sacred tree will bloom..."

……

"Shikamaru."

Shikamaru returned to sit by the fire, and Sasuke returned almost at the same time.

Shikamaru was still bothered by the fact that Naruto seemed a little too gullible, "Where's Sakura?"

"She said she was going to get some water."

"...Get water? Didn't she come to find you?"

"Ah."

That is to fetch water after finding Sasuke...

Shikamaru understood that he said he was going to fetch water, probably just to find an excuse to be alone for a while.

"You rejected her?"

"Ah."

"Will she give up this time?"

"should be."

"You've refused before, but didn't she say that it's hard to shake your love for someone and you've never given up? Is your refusal this time any different?"

"I said I have someone I like."

"...Huh?" Shikamaru was surprised, "Does Sakura believe it?"

"Why don't you believe me? I'm telling the truth."

"Wait, facts?? Who??"

"Nothing to do with you."

"..."

"Anyway, she told me she was sorry," Sasuke said, "She said that she probably only liked me because she didn't want to lose to Ino, and now that she's realized that, she won't like me anymore."

Shikamaru had a subtle expression: "...Ah, is that so... Is there any other reason like that... Well, that's fine."

"So, what does it mean that I killed the Five Kage?"

"You're being too direct by changing the subject!" Shikamaru sighed, "Really... Never mind, sit down."

Sasuke sat next to him in silence.

"How much do you know about that girl...Uchiha Asaka?"

"Kakashi told me that they are from another world and that she is the daughter of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin. Other than that, there is nothing much."

"Well... After all, the earth was in danger of destruction at that time. If Lord Hokage told you some of these things, it might cause other complications." Shikamaru said, "But it shouldn't matter now. That Uchiha Asaru said that she was an orphan adopted by Konoha Orphanage. After graduating from the Ninja School, she and you became Team 7. During a mission, she encountered a strong enemy and her eyes opened. Sensei Kakashi took her back to the village for a physical examination and found that her DNA matched that of Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito. During the Chunin Exam, the Root people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill her and take her eyes, so she chose to rebel against Konoha."

Sasuke frowned, "Danzo."

"Her eye technique can bend fate, so she freed Neji from the cage. Neji followed her and defected from Konoha. As for Gaara... well, he said it was because he liked her."

"…They went to Kirigakure."

"Yes, they went to Kirigakure." Shikamaru said, "The weird thing is, Uchiha Asaro said that in their world, Naruto died."

Sasuke was slightly stunned.

"She said that Naruto was killed by you in the Valley of the End, and then you killed the Five Kage and ruled the world. In order to resist you, the remaining ninjas developed time and space ninjutsu and sent her to other worlds to find a way to defeat you and save the world."

"..."

Seeing his frown, Shikamaru asked, "What do you think?"

"It sounds like... an idea I had come true."

"That's right. If you had really killed Naruto, no one could have stopped you." Shikamaru laughed at himself, "But we were all trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi at that time. If you hadn't lifted the Infinite Tsukuyomi, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have been able to escape and resist you... It seems that you don't want to rule an empty world. You need people to become your subjects."

"Subjects? No, I don't think so." Sasuke imagined a world like that - a world where he succeeded: "What I want... is just revolution. A more thorough revolution."

"Don't say such dangerous things anymore. It makes my hair stand on end." Shikamaru interrupted quickly. "Logically, since you have already ruled the world, the Infinite Tsukuyomi must have been activated, but she seems to be ignorant of this... There are many contradictions in her words, and they don't match up. However, I have seen her memories. Unless she and Toneri secretly colluded and knew that we would pass by a lake of illusion that can see memories, it is impossible for her to fabricate all the memories in advance."

"..."

Shikamaru rubbed his nose with a headache. "On the one hand, there are many suspicious points about her, but on the other hand, she really stood by us to support and help us. In addition, she did not hide her origins at all. Although there are many contradictions, it doesn't seem like she is lying... You also heard that she even promised Naruto that when she returns, she will open all her memories to Naruto."

"Why Naruto?"

"Well...because Naruto is that? The savior or something?"

Sasuke glanced at him.

"Naruto should be special to her anyway."

"Who do you think is more special to her, Naruto or Neji?"

Shikamaru curled his lips, "Why should I compare this? It has nothing to do with me who is more special to her."

"..."

"Why, do you care?"

"Have you ever liked anyone? Shikamaru?"

"what?"

“Do you ever want to make yourself special to someone?”

"…That's not something you would say, Sasuke."

"I've never done anything before, and someone told me that I was special to them. But she didn't seem to think I was special... at least not more special than others. When I wanted to make myself special, I didn't know how to do it."

"If you ask me about this kind of thing, I can't do anything about it."

Sasuke looked up at him and said, "What do you think I look like?"

"..."

"Well enough?"

“…I’ll beat you up.”

Sasuke pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and twirled the long bangs in front of his eyes. For some reason, Shikamaru felt that he understood what he meant - he was thinking about whether changing his hairstyle would make a difference.

He said with a straight face: "I think no matter what hairstyle you have, it won't cover up your handsome face. And you're very strong. Someone as handsome and strong as you...if the other person doesn't like you, it's probably just because they're not attracted to you. There's nothing we can do about it."

"..."

"Uh... isn't there a saying that lovers are not pursued, but must be attracted to each other."

"..."

"Sasuke, can you say something?"
