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

Chapter 294 The Bed Curtains Are Lowered

"He and Rin were Kakashi's companions. He died trying to save his companions."

After I finished speaking, I saw Sasuke's expression and asked before he could speak, "You want to tell me something about Obito? Good or bad?"

"I want to tell you the truth."

My heart sank slightly: "What kind of truth?"

"You hesitated to tell the other me the truth about Itachi because you were afraid of hurting 'me'...My feelings about telling you the truth about Obito might be the same as you did then."

"...It's not a good thing to say that."

"Uchiha Obito actually——"

"Don't say it!" I interrupted him. "Is it something I must know?"

"…It's a very important matter."

"Is it related to Uchiha Madara?"

Sasuke was slightly stunned: "Yes."

"So... does Naruto know?"

Sasuke probably didn't understand why I suddenly mentioned Naruto, but he still answered me: "I know."

"Okay. Then you don't have to tell me now."

"Why? You want Naruto to tell you? Is there any difference between me telling you and him telling you?"

"The pool that can see memories, Naruto and I have made an agreement. When we return, he will show me all his memories, and I will show him all my memories. So... I will know it naturally by then."

Sasuke frowned.

I explained, "I'm not trying to escape from anything! It's just... my companions and I came to this world because of Uchiha Madara's ninjutsu. Although he hasn't appeared since we came to this world, he probably has many secrets that cannot be revealed, so it's normal for him to go alone to collect intelligence and confirm whether there are any existences in this world that are not beneficial to him."

"Uchiha Madara's jutsu? Uchiha Madara with the Uzumaki mask, or Uchiha Madara without the mask?"

"Madara Uchiha wearing a mask."

Sasuke seemed to understand something: "Ah."

"Anyway, I'm not sure if he has the means to monitor me... Maybe he can sense that someone is about to leak his information, and then immediately end the ninjutsu and take us back to our original world. I don't want to go back yet, so just in case... please don't tell me anything that might irritate him for now."

"I understand."

But Sasuke's cooperation made me feel empty. I asked nervously, "Didn't Obito... die to protect his companions?"

Could it be that he was actually a deserter… Could it be that he actually abandoned Rin and Kakashi?

"No..." Sasuke paused: "He died to protect his companions."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "So, then he is indeed a hero, right?"

"Since you said you want to know everything from Naruto... let Naruto tell you later."

I forced a smile and said, "That's true."

After saying that, I was about to get out of bed and go back to the window when Sasuke suddenly grabbed my hand. I was about to ask him what was wrong when there was another knock on the door.

Many places in this castle are covered with soft, thick carpets, and sometimes it is really hard to hear the footsteps of others approaching - could it be that Sasuke's ears are so much more sensitive than mine? Did he hear someone approaching?

But there was no time to think too much now, so I grabbed the quilt beside me and wrapped him in the bed, so that from the door, it would look like I just came out of the quilt to open the door.

I raised my voice and asked, "Who?"

The puppet's voice came sweetly and emotionlessly: "Ms. Chaolu, the patrol team outside found that you had drawn the curtains. Lord Sheren is worried that you may be deprived of oxygen by lighting the fireplace in a closed room. I hope you can open the window or leave the door unlocked."

"I lit the fireplace because I needed the light. Instead of opening the windows and doors, I wish you could send me a light."

"I see... Miss Chaolu, please wait a moment."

There was no sound outside the door. I glanced at the window to make sure the curtains were drawn tightly without any gaps. I glanced at the extremely high ceiling to make sure there was no secret passage, and finally I looked at the bed.

Sasuke lay quietly in the quilt, not moving.

I remembered what happened when Sasuke had a fever as a child - Naruto was taking care of him in the infirmary, and I secretly ran to accompany Naruto, but somehow I started to torment Sasuke who was lying in bed, trying to hide under his quilt so that no one could see me.

Thinking about it now, I was really ignorant back then... Since I had never been sick before, I had no sympathy for Sasuke who was sick, and I had no empathy for his discomfort at all.

I immediately patted Sasuke lightly, feeling quite apologetic.

He half showed his face from under the quilt and looked at me to ask if everything was safe.

I smiled and helped him smooth out his hair that was messed up by the pillow. There was another knock on the door. He was stunned for a moment, then very consciously pulled the quilt up to cover himself again.

I asked, "Who?"

The puppet said, "I'm here to bring you the candlesticks and candles, Miss Chaolu."

“You can leave it at the door.”

The puppet didn't speak again, but another familiar voice rang out: "Chaolu, it's me."

It’s Sheren.

I was shocked.

"……How did you come?"

Sheren's tone was calm: "I thought you were getting ready for bed, so I wanted to see you before you fell asleep."

"what's up?"

“Is this how you treat the people you love?”

I said helplessly: "Sheren... I'm really sleepy."

"Well, I won't bother you for too long. I'm just wondering if lovers should say goodnight to each other before going to bed, and then give each other a goodnight kiss to wish each other a good dream?"

"..."

If the stalemate continued, it would be hard to say whether Sheren would give up or become suspicious and break in. I turned my head to look in the direction of the bed, raised my hand and threw a shuriken, cutting the rope that tied the bed curtain.

The bed curtains slowly fell down, blocking the bed, making it even harder for Sasuke to be spotted.

I then unlocked the door and opened it.

Sheren stood outside the door and smiled at me.

Behind him, a puppet held a candlestick and was about to deliver it into the room.

If I stop it and tell it to just give it to me, would my gesture of refusing them to enter the room be too obvious and tough, thus appearing suspicious and leading to more questioning?

I watched it walk into the room, put the candlestick on the dining table, then lit the candle and put down a box of matches.

The puppet didn't do anything extra and just turned around and walked out.

I said to Sheren in a normal tone, "There are too few furniture in this room. There should be at least one bedside table in the future, otherwise the candlesticks can only be placed by the window."

"Hmm? Wouldn't it be good to put it by the window?"

"Don't you want to lie in bed and read a book sometimes?"

"That's bad for your eyes. Reading by the window, when you get tired you can look up and see the scenery outside the window, that's better for protecting your eyesight." Sheren said gently, "You have a lot of bad habits. I heard that the Uchiha clan was destroyed early, it seems they didn't have time to teach you many things."

He mentioned Uchiha, and I was immediately worried that Sasuke on the bed would be unhappy if he heard it.

"Your tone is too condescending," I frowned in dissatisfaction, "Don't talk as if you are going to lecture me. Don't try to change me. I don't think there is anything wrong with me now."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."

I turned my face away: "Okay, it's getting late, Sheren, good night."

“Please say goodnight to me in a way that I can feel loved.”

I paused helplessly, trying to get into the mood. After a moment, I raised my eyes, looked into his ice-blue eyes, and smiled: "Don't act like a spoiled child, Sheren. Good night."

"Good night."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, I stated, "No goodnight kiss."

"why?"

"Because an engaged couple should act like an engaged couple. Some things are the privilege of being married."

"But I think goodnight kisses should be the privilege of unmarried couples, because real couples have more intimate things to do before going to bed, right?"

"Sheren... have you been thinking about me so much that you can't fall asleep? How about I just go to your room and rest with you?"

After I turned the tables, Sheren immediately retreated: "...No. No way."

I smiled and closed the door. "That's a shame. I'll see you tomorrow."

This time, he finally didn't knock on the door to disturb her.

I didn't know whether Sheren had left or not, so I checked the candlestick first to make sure there were no eavesdropping devices on it.

The level of technology on the moon... I always feel it's a bit strange.

There were no wires or anything like that on the ground, could it be that there was no electricity? Yet there were so many high-tech puppets in the castle.

After I confirmed that the candlestick was fine, just in case, I opened the door to make sure that there was no one outside - Sheren had left.

Only then did I feel relieved and locked the door.

"Sasuke...it's okay."

I called him quietly, pulled aside the bed curtain, and saw that he had sat up. His clothes were much looser after hiding for so long, and I couldn't help but hold them tightly for him, just like I did when I saw my Sasuke near Orochimaru's base.

Sasuke looked up at me.

"Uh..." He probably thought I was being weird, so I let go of his hand and said, "I'll go put out the fireplace. Will you be cold?"

But when I turned around to leave, he grabbed my hand again.
