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

Chapter 229 What is the misunderstanding

"Put yourself first..." Naruto repeated in a low voice, frowning: "But...even though you said it seemed like I was trying to please you, I only do this because I like you."

"Well, let me ask you this. When you are with me, does Naruto feel awkward, uncomfortable, or uneasy?" I lay flat on his coat, folded my hands on my abdomen, and looked at the sky hidden by the layers of tree canopies: "When thinking of me, does Naruto feel more painful, tired, and exhausted, or does he feel that I make Naruto a better person... feel comfortable, at ease, and calm?"

Naruto also followed my example and lay flat on the grass, looking at the sky.

"I feel... peaceful."

"You've been too brief! Please be more detailed." I laughed and said, "Ningji and Gaara are the same... I originally thought they liked to hide things, but it turns out they just don't know how to say it... But, just because you're not good at it, you can't just give up. Just treat it as training and practice more. Now I force Neji and Gaara to talk more every day."

Naruto then tried hard to search for the words in his mind: "It's really peaceful... Being by Asaro's side, I feel like I don't have to think about anything... But if I have to say something..."

I encouraged, "Hmm? Something you must say?"

"If I must say it, I feel anxious when I think about whether Chaolu can stay forever."

"I'm glad to be so important to Naruto, but why can't Naruto accept it if I leave?"

"Because I like morning dew!"

"So what does liking someone mean Naruto? What does it take to be considered liking someone?"

"Love means that two people have the best understanding and the best feelings in the world. Being with each other is happier than being with anyone else. Rather than being with others, I want to be with each other."

"Then he gets restless when I'm not around, could it be because Naruto just doesn't want to be alone?"

"No! I will also be with Shikamaru, with Kakashi-sensei, and with others... But no matter how many people are around me, I can't forget Asaka. I always think about Asaka..."

"Naruto can't be happy without me here?"

Naruto turned his head to look at me and said firmly: "Yes! If Chaolu is not by my side, I will never be happy!"

I also tilted my head to look at him: "Don't take anyone so seriously... Naruto, your happiness will never depend on others... The only one who can make yourself happy is you."

"..."

"What do you think Naruto?"

"I'm thinking... On the one hand, I believe Chaolu is doing this for my own good and that she cares about me, but on the other hand, I can't help but wonder if Chaolu wants to get rid of me."

"Get rid of you?"

"You said that you are the most important, that you don't need to get recognition from others, that you don't need to chase after others, that my happiness is definitely not with Zhaolu... It's as if Zhaolu is rejecting me. Zhaolu, do you have such thoughts?"

"No. I never thought of breaking the bond with Naruto." I said simply, "I'm just worried that happiness pinned on others is too fragile... I hope that if one day I'm gone, Naruto can still be happy."

"Why isn't Chaolu here?!"

"...Because, you see, for now, I will definitely stay in the Hidden Mist Village for a long time, and Naruto will be in Konoha...right? It's hard for us to even meet, let alone be together. If Naruto keeps suffering because we can't meet, it would be too pitiful."

"But as long as I know that Chaolu's heart is with me! I can endure it!"

"If you need to endure, then you can't be considered happy!" I flicked Naruto's forehead with a headache: "Really, why didn't I realize that you are so stubborn before, Naruto."

Although I flicked his forehead, Naruto didn't get angry. Instead, he covered the place where I flicked him and grinned foolishly.

"Forget it..." I sighed, "I've already said everything I wanted to tell you. But I also know that if I don't want to change, no matter what others say, it will be useless."

Naruto seemed to see my disappointment and quickly said, "What Chaolu said is very useful! I will definitely value myself more in the future! Other people's recognition is actually not important!"

"You have to realize from the bottom of your heart that this is not good for you before you can change."

"I'll think about it carefully!"

"Really?" I doubted whether Naruto could agree with what I said from the bottom of his heart, but this was the best I could do. "I'm sorry, I'm giving you so much all of a sudden. Isn't it a bit too much like preaching? When I was in the Hidden Mist Village, some people also said that I was self-righteous... I reflected on myself, but I'm still not sure why they thought I was too arrogant... Does Naruto feel the same way?"

"Not at all! I'm so happy that Chaolu talked to me so much! How could someone dislike Chaolu? The Hidden Mist Village is so weird!"

"Hahahaha, after all, there are a lot of people in the village, it's impossible for everyone to like me. Mr. Zabuza's way of ascending to power is still unacceptable to many people, and there are also people who hate my title... After all, there is a subtle difference between understanding people's hearts and manipulating them."

I paused, "But, thanks to them, I have learned how to get along with people who hate me. I used to think that I did something wrong, and that being hated meant that I had flaws, as if I would be useless if I didn't fix them. But isn't it interesting to see them holding back their emotions and talking to me respectfully even though they clearly hate me?"

"Is Chaolu no longer afraid of being disliked by others?"

"Well... of course it's still a bit shocking to find out that people dislike you. But I've realized that being disliked is nothing to worry about."

"Asaro, you seem to have become much stronger." Naruto laughed, "When Asaro was little, I was always worried about him."

I was a little surprised: "When I was a kid?"

"Yes, Zhaolu was like a blank sheet of paper at that time. I didn't know anything. I believed whatever others said. It seemed that the bad guys could easily kidnap you, so I thought to myself, I must stand in front of Zhaolu and protect you well."

"…When we were kids, why did I feel like I was the one who was more worried about Naruto?"

"No! If you don't believe me, go ask Shikamaru. You were definitely more worrying when you were little!" Naruto looked away. "But now, Chaolu has matured a lot and understands a lot of things. She will say to me, 'I don't think this Naruto is good enough'."

I felt that his tone was not right, so I quickly sat up and tried to look at his face to observe his expression at the moment: "That's not what I meant!"

But Naruto raised his hands and shielded his eyes with his arms.

"Naruto..." I was a little surprised and worried, and gently leaned closer to him: "Are you unhappy?"

"No……"

But he couldn't help sniffling.

I became even more worried: "Did you cry?"

I grabbed his wrist and tried to pull his hand away, but Naruto clenched his fist and wrestled with me.

I had no choice but to let go and looked at him lying in front of me, somewhat helplessly.

"I'm not denying your meaning. I'm just worried when I see that Naruto doesn't even know how good he is...! Naruto deserves to be treated more seriously and have a better life!"

But I saw a tear sliding down his cheek, and I immediately leaned over and hugged him.

I leaned my face against his chest and said sadly, "If Naruto is sad, I will be sad too."

"I'm not... sad about this."

Naruto sniffed again and finally released his hands that were covering his eyes. I quickly propped myself up and looked into his eyes. Sure enough, his eyes were red.

I couldn't help but frown in pain, gently stroked his face, and whispered: "Then why are you sad, Naruto?"

"I feel like... I don't understand Chaolu anymore. Why does Chaolu think this way? Why does she think this? What has Chaolu been through...? I don't know anything. Chaolu seems to have walked a long way alone, but I can't be by your side and go to the same place with you. I feel very painful."

"..."

I withdrew my hand, sat up straight and looked at him. I felt mixed emotions and was speechless.

Naruto also sat up. He sat cross-legged opposite me, lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, feeling a little ashamed: "I'm sorry... I don't know why, I suddenly couldn't help it... Damn it, I'm so old, and I let Chaolu see me in such a shameful state..."

I reached out and hugged him.

"It's not embarrassing. I feel happy that Naruto would cry in front of me."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because I can see the vulnerable side of you that you must never expose to outsiders, doesn't that mean I'm a trustworthy person to Naruto?"

Naruto's voice was nasal, and he mumbled like a child, "Don't you think it's lame for men to cry, Asaka?"

"I haven't seen many people cry, but when Naruto cries, why do I feel that you are lame! My heart feels like it's being pulled, and I don't have time to show sympathy."

Naruto suddenly reached out and hugged me, "Me too! When Chaolu was crying, I felt that as long as you could be happy, I would do anything."

"Hehe..." I rubbed Naruto's ear, "That's great, even though I haven't seen you for so long, I still like Naruto very much."

"I have always, always liked Chaolu! Although I was worried that Chaolu might have changed, I still like you!"

I looked up, wanting to check Naruto's mood, but suddenly met his smiling eyes.

Those blue eyes, which were always straightforward and clear, were wet, as if it had just rained, but they were brighter because of it.

He suddenly approached me in a daze. I subconsciously raised my hand to cover his mouth. I was slightly stunned: "Naruto, what do you want to do?"

"Huh?" Naruto came back to his senses and suddenly blushed: "Ah, not...that! I don't know why, just now suddenly! It's just that, I just inexplicably want to kiss you!"

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly one hand clenched into a fist, and knocked it on the palm of the other hand and said, "Ah, I thought of a way to stay with Naruto forever!"

Naruto's attention was immediately diverted, "Huh? What?"

"As long as Naruto and I are on the same path, and we work together to do the same thing, won't our hearts always be together?"

"Okay!" Naruto said, "What does Chaolu want to do?"

"The reason I came to the Land of Grass is because I got information that tomorrow, one of the members of the Akatsuki organization, Scorpion of the Red Sand, will come here to meet with his subordinates. Let's ambush him together."

"Oh, is Kirigakure going to fight back against Akatsuki? Because Akatsuki attacked Gaara first?" After Naruto finished speaking, he remembered something, "Hmm? Sasori...? Is he a traitor from Sand Village?"

"what happened?"

"It seems that Grandma Chiyo's grandson is Scorpion."

I was stunned: "Huh?"

"It seems that the reason why she came to rescue Gaara who was captured by Akatsuki was because Scorpion was a member of Akatsuki. Moreover, Scorpion's parents, her son and daughter-in-law, seemed to have died at the hands of Kakashi's father... The relationship is really complicated..."
