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

Chapter 295 No Longer a Child

I immediately became alert and listened more carefully to the sounds around me - as soon as Sasuke grabbed me, Toneri came. Could it be that Toneri is back again now?

But we stayed still for a moment, and I still heard nothing, and there was still no knock on the door.

I used my eyes to express my doubt to Sasuke, and he finally spoke: "Don't say that kind of thing to a man casually."

"What kind of words?"

"Go to his room...or something."

"Any questions?"

"If the two of you were alone in his room...if anything dangerous happened, it would be hard for me to get there in time to save you."

So Sasuke was worried about this.

"Don't worry." I smiled and said, "I know Sheren only said that. Look, he left after I said that, didn't he?"

"..."

"But, don't you believe that I can protect myself? Do you think I'm weak? Maybe I'm not as strong as you and Naruto, and I'm not Toneri's opponent, but I don't think I have no power to fight back."

“…You said so.”

"?"

"No matter how powerful or reliable a friend or relative is, I will still worry about them."

"Although I did say that, I'm a little angry that you're so worried about me when you believe Naruto is fine... Damn it." I felt like he looked down on me. "Although you may not believe it, in my world... at least before I came here, I had the confidence that I could beat Naruto and Sasuke!"

"That was not what I meant."

"I know you don't look down on me, but I just feel a little frustrated... How come you guys left me so far behind in an instant?"

"No...I don't mean that."

"?" I asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

Sasuke kept his lips tightly closed and said nothing.

He looked exactly like the Sasuke I knew when he was a child.

"Tell me about it."

I am already very familiar with Sasuke's appearance when he closes his heart. It is obvious that he has a lot of things in his heart, but he is used to enduring them.

The tragic experiences in his childhood forced him to get used to living and taking care of himself as quickly as possible. He was no longer a child, but was still unable to enter the adult world. He was forced to deal with countless things that were difficult for a child to understand and should have been handled by his parents.

I think Sasuke is imitating the reliable person he is most familiar with and using this method to adapt to one's life.

For example, when you encounter a problem, you will think, "If it were 'him', what would 'he' do?"

After seeing Mikoto's mother after Sasuke's transformation, I think he is probably imitating his father.

Strong, silent, and cold.

Over time, whenever Sasuke encountered something he was not good at or did not want to face, he would habitually deal with it with his "father's" personality.

At times like this, I must try my best to find the "self" that he has hidden and talk to the real Sasuke.

I sat next to him and said gently, "I want to know what Sasuke thinks."

"..."

There are many kinds of Sasuke's silence. Sometimes he doesn't want to speak. At this time, no matter how much you persuade him, there is no way and he can only give up temporarily. Sometimes, he just doesn't know how to say it.

Expressing oneself is a skill that requires practice, and it seems that the Sasuke in this world has never practiced it well.

Once he finds that he doesn't know how to start a conversation, he will probably just give up - at this time, he needs a little encouragement.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to say it, just tell me your most direct thoughts."

"..."

For the most part, I could tell the subtle differences between Sasuke's different silences.

I think he seemed to be a little shaken, but he still needed one last push.

So I moved closer and gently leaned my shoulder against his: "Let me guess? If I guess right, you will say 'hmm'?"

"……Um."

"Well...you don't want me to leave with Sheren?"

"Ah."

"You don't want me to be alone with Sheren? Because you think I'll be in danger?"

"Ah."

"What if I'm alone with someone else? What if I'm alone with Neji, Gaara, Shikamaru, and Naruto? They'll definitely not be in any danger."

Sasuke frowned.

"Then you don't want me to be alone with Toneri just because I'll be in danger. You don't want me to be alone with a man? What if I'm alone with Sakura, Ino, Hinata, or Tenten?"

"can."

"But we are alone now. You are also a man. Don't you think it's wrong for us to do this?"

"..."

"Sasuke?"

"……no."

"no?"

"It's not impossible."

"You're talking in a confusing way. Let me sort it out." I frowned and thought for a moment: "I can be alone with you, but I can't be alone with others?"

"..."

"Isn't that right?"

"No……"

"No?"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Your awkwardness is really increasing with age. I hope my Sasuke doesn't return to your state overnight after staying with Orochimaru for more than two years... I had a hard time getting him to talk to me a few more times."

"……Feel sorry."

I laughed. "Why are you apologizing? Your sudden silly remarks are exactly like his."

After I found that the way I treated Sasuke also worked for the person in front of me, I felt much more relaxed: "No matter which side Sasuke is from, he is really cute."

Perhaps it was these words that finally let him down, and Sasuke said, "It annoys me to think about you being alone with someone like you are with me right now."

"You mean you're jealous?"

Sasuke was silent for a long time: "I don't think I'm in a position to be jealous."

"Why not? Of course you have." I said with a smile, "Because you already consider me as your friend, so you want to be the best friend in the world with me!"

"..."

"Sasuke?"

"Is there a big difference between me and your Sasuke?"

I was stunned, "Why do you ask?"

"You like him, but you can treat me as a friend. Is it because there is something different between us?"

"Hmm..." I don't really understand why I like "Sasuke". It seems surprising to consider him as a friend. Isn't it normal to consider him as a friend because I like "Sasuke"?

But he seemed to mind the differences between himself and "Sasuke". I replied, "As for appearance, the Sasuke in my world hasn't grown to your age yet, I don't know if he will be the same... As for personality, I haven't seen him for more than two years, so I'm not sure if his personality has changed... But if I were to say my personal feeling, he is more lively than you. Ah, it's not that he is very cheerful, but you do seem a little more indifferent compared to him. I was shocked when we first met."

"Why are you afraid of me?"

"...Have you never seen your own cold face?" I whispered, "It's so scary. It looks like you can break my neck in the next second without any expression."

"Isn't your Sasuke's cold face scary?"

"He won't be cold to me, that's why I think you're scary."

"..."

"But I'm not afraid of you anymore," I comforted him, "because I know that you are actually very gentle."

"you and him……"

"Ok?"

"You've seen similar content in that album before you were 18. Was it because of him... because of him?"

I asked blankly, “Huh?”

"Isn't it?"

"No, I just bought the wrong book."

Sasuke looked away with a complicated expression, as if he was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.

"You have a weird expression on your face, Sasuke. Do you think of me as a child? I am no longer an innocent child."

"!?"

"Mei Terumi said that for a long time, our education has isolated children from 'knowledge that can only be viewed after the age of 18', so children who know nothing about X-related content are 'innocent'. But I have learned about the relevant content, so I am no longer an innocent child."

“…Don’t speak in a way that could be misunderstood.”
