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

Chapter 273 Absolutely Not

Everyone worked very quickly and efficiently, and on the third day, the deserted and dilapidated town regained some vitality because of the lights and decorations.

In a dead land, humans did their best in the shortest possible time to leave extremely conspicuous traces of their activities. Somehow, I think that scene is very moving.

In the evening, I took a moment to relax from my busy schedule, stood on a high platform, looked at the lush green forest and the sea dyed with golden light in the distance, and looked back at the town where people came in and out from time to time. I felt as if I was connected with the ancient time.

Many years ago, someone must have stood here and seen the same forest and sea, and people came and went behind him.

But they eventually disappeared. One day, I, who am standing here now, will also disappear like them, right?

Throughout the ages, the fate of all people seems to be the same. So what is different?

Just when I was distracted, Naruto suddenly appeared. He saw me alone and came over immediately: "Chaolu, what are you doing here? Do you need my help?"

"I'm looking at the scenery." I came back to my senses, smiled at him, and turned to point to the sunset in the sky. "The sky is beautiful, isn't it?"

Naruto walked over to my side, stared at the sky for a moment, and nodded: "Yeah."

"Do you think that the people who lived here before would think the same as we do when they looked at this scenery?"

"Same?"

“I think it’s beautiful.”

"Maybe."

“If we can see the same scenery, stand in the same position, and have the same thoughts in our hearts, wouldn’t we feel that at this moment, they are me and I am them?”

"Eh?"

I was surprised and asked, “No?”

"of course not!"

"Well, it's better to think practically. Then I'd better think about which direction Sheren might appear from."

Naruto quickly explained: "It's not that Chaolu's ideas are impractical, it's just that I feel that Chaolu seems to be too empathetic to other people's feelings. Wouldn't that be tiring?"

I was slightly stunned: "This sounds familiar... Naruto from my world seems to have said this to me before."

"Really? What did he say?"

"It makes me pay more attention to my own feelings and not think it's my fault when others are unhappy."

"Damn it, I got there first...!" Naruto said unwillingly, "But there's nothing I can do. After all, Chaolu is the same Chaolu, and he and I are both Naruto."

I smiled. "Whenever I'm in a bad mood, Naruto can always cheer me up, so I want to repay Naruto's kindness to him so that he can also experience it. However, when Naruto is in a bad mood, he rarely lets me know. Even if he does, he will hide it and adjust himself... It would be great if Naruto could let me know when he is unhappy so that I can comfort him and console him."

"…You really want to know?"

"Ok!"

Naruto looked at the sea, hesitated, and scratched his head: "Then you can try it now."

"Huh? Is there something that's upsetting Naruto right now?"

"Well, I can't say I'm unhappy. Your wedding with Neji... I can't tell whether it's a mission requirement, but... seeing you treated as a 'bride' by those staff, seeing you confirm the wedding details, seeing you busying yourself and others' wedding, it's... hard to laugh."

"Well……"

"I'm not someone who doesn't know what's going on! But, we... didn't you say before that you loved me? Let's just say we are in a relationship of 'love and being loved' now, so it's normal for me to feel unhappy when I see you marrying someone else!"

"anything else?"

"What else?"

"Naruto, is that all you think? Tell me all at once?"

"Also... you and Neji met that Ōtsutsuki Hamura, who said that the Sharingan and the Byakugan came from the same ancestor, and that there would be many benefits for your union. It felt like there were suddenly many special bonds between you and Neji, as if your relationship was special and different from others... What? This kind of setting that suddenly appeared out of nowhere! It's like cheating!"

Naruto became more and more dissatisfied as he spoke: "What do you mean by getting married can gain more powerful strength... Obviously, marriage is not for this!"

I couldn't help but laugh.

Naruto's eyes widened, "Is this funny? Asano?"

"Because it's so rare to hear Naruto say these words!" I laughed, "No wonder in so many comics and novels, the protagonist gets close to others, causing conflicts between the hero and heroine... I didn't understand before why they couldn't be together smoothly... It turns out it's because..."

Naruto was unhappy and asked, "Because of what?"

"Because when you say something you wouldn't normally say under pressure, it gives people an extra sense of 'Oh, this guy actually likes me so much.'"

"If you want me to say 'I like you', I can say it as many times as I want!"

“It’s just different!”

"I don't understand. Will Chaolu feel happy to see me unhappy?"

"Of course I'd be happy if I felt valued, but if Naruto was really angry, I'd also be panicked. I seem to have sensed a little bit of the subtlety between the two. Could this be the 'interest' mentioned in the book... Hmm... I'm not sure..."

Naruto grumbled unwillingly: "So-called fun, is it just teasing me and making fun of me?"

I was about to answer with a smile when I suddenly heard the voice of the planner lady.

"Miss Bride! The bride is ready. Please try it on!"

Naruto:"……"

Looking at his expression, I inexplicably felt a little guilty, "Now... I don't know why I feel a little panicked."

But Naruto said nothing, "Go ahead."

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"We've already prepared to this point, there's no need to get angry anymore."

"…Naruto, I'm a little uneasy about you being so calm."

"If I want to say something hurtful, I can say something like 'You won't be by my side in the end anyway', but I don't want to do anything that will make Chaolu sad."

He showed his signature bright smile, "So, go ahead. Anyway, in the end...don't you want to see me express my love with actions? You will see it."

"What are you going to do?"

"What's the point of telling you in advance? You'll know when the time comes."

The more he kept it to himself, the more I was afraid to leave. The planner urged me anxiously, "Miss Bride, we don't have much time. We still have to rehearse later!"

Naruto reached out and touched my head, and said gently: "Okay, go ahead, don't worry, I won't do anything bad, and I'm no longer old enough to play pranks at a wedding."

During this action, I suddenly realized clearly that the person in front of me was older than me.

"Why do I suddenly feel like a 'brother' at a time like this..."

That was completely different from the feeling Naruto gave me before, and it made me feel uncomfortable and my heart beat faster.

I held my heart and asked, "So, when the bride walks out with her family, can I hold Naruto's arm?"

"Hahahahahaha," Naruto's smile immediately disappeared and he said, "Absolutely not."
