Chapter 261 People from Different Worlds
She comforted her depressed companion: "We didn't know each other at that time, and you didn't even see me. You didn't do anything."
"Did you decide to change my fate then?"
"At that time?"
"When you were talking to Urusi, you said that you hated the predetermined fate of the Hyuga clan, and so on. Did you notice me from then on?"
Chaolu turned to look at Gaara, "Gaara, did you show them all?"
Gaara said, "I just... don't want to keep letting go of your bond with the others."
He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, holding her hand as if a little aggrieved: "Although there are still very few scenes of our bond, Neji didn't see you at that time, and there was no me at all... But I didn't show them all. After confirming that it was enough for them to believe that we were not lying, we withdrew. Chaolu's memory is a precious secret between us, and I will cherish it."
Neji: "...What about me? I also want to know everything about Asaro."
Gaara: "Stop causing trouble for Chaolu."
Ningji frowned and asked, "Why do you know Chaolu's memories?"
"Uh……"
Asaka and Gaara exchanged glances.
Yes, why?
Naruto thought, why can you have secrets that only you know?
"Asaro, can't you tell me?" Seeing that she didn't seem to want to say it, Neji also held her hand: "Am I going to be excluded?"
"Because Gaara wanted to kill me during the Chunin Exam," Chaolu sighed and smiled bitterly, "I used the eye technique on him."
"Ha." Ningji smiled and said, "You want to kill Chaolu?"
"The me back then..." Gaara paused, "was different from the me now. Besides, what qualifications do you have to criticize me here? During the Chunin Exam, in the Death Forest, were you by Asaka's side? Could you have helped her?"
The two men glared at each other, turned their heads away, and ignored each other.
Chaolu pulled one person aside, trying to reconcile them with a puzzled and amused tone: "Eh? Why are you quarreling all of a sudden? The Chunin Exams have been over for a long time! Why are you quarreling over something that happened so long ago?"
...Because I'd be very angry.
Naruto thought, getting angry that he could have gotten to know you earlier and made a better impression on you, but he didn't do it.
Naruto turned his head and said, "Sakura."
"Ok?"
"Hold hands?"
Sakura's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?"
"Or... you can just hold my arm."
"Huh?" Sakura clenched her fists: "You kid, you still want to play pranks at this age!?"
Sai glanced ahead and said, "Is it because of the people from the Hidden Mist Village? The people from the Hidden Mist Village have such a good relationship with each other. They were once called the Blood Mist Village."
He thought for a moment and stretched out his hand towards Naruto: "I can hold your hand."
Naruto: "No, I still find it weird!"
"It's normal to feel weird. That kind of intimacy is definitely more than the feeling of companionship... Ino wouldn't hold hands with Shikamaru and Choji like this." Sakura hesitated and said, "I always feel that Asaka is like you, who doesn't quite understand the boundaries between male and female relationships even after growing up?"
"What? Am I the same as Chaolu?"
"…What are you so happy about?! This is not a good thing!"
"If it's proof of a good relationship with your companions," Naruto looked at Sakura, "why can't we?"
But he didn't seem to need Sakura's answer: "If we can't, why can they?"
In short, they can't.
"Sakura, can you teach her?"
"Ah? That's not good..." Sakura hesitated, "After all, we are just casual acquaintances, and we probably won't see each other again. Is it really okay to point fingers at other people's behavior? Anyway, they don't affect others..."
Sai looked at Naruto's expression and asked, "Naruto, don't you understand the meaning of 'encounter by chance'?"
Naruto said anxiously, "I know!"
Sai was quite surprised: "Naruto, you actually knew that."
Shikamaru said with a headache: "Look at the atmosphere, Sai. Stop talking."
"The exit is in this direction." Neji's voice in front became louder, drowning out Konoha's whispers.
After he finished his instructions, he turned around and gave them a cold look, his eyes seemed to say: "Mind your own business."
Everyone finally came out of the underground cave.
What was surprising was that they dived deep underground, but underground there were actually blue sky, white clouds and the sun.
"Where are we now?" Sakura was surprised: "Is there a sun underground?"
"That should be a fake sun." Shikamaru said, "It's probably artificial."
"If it's artificial," Chaolu asked, "will there be people living here?"
Shikamaru seemed to treat Neci as if he were his own companion and greeted him, "Ningci?"
Neji opened his Byakugan and looked at another continent visible to the naked eye in front of him: "No chakra reaction. No human activity was seen."
Sai looked back at where everyone came from: "Have we appeared on a deserted island?"
Chaolu sighed, "What a confusing terrain."
"Anyway, let's go to that continent first."
Following Shikamaru's instructions, Sai summoned Asuka once again, and still divided them into the same formation as when they came, and walked towards Naruto as the dew rose.
He couldn't help but let out a brilliant smile.
After taking off, Naruto quietly turned around to look at her, and saw that the wind in the air blew up the cold-proof cloak she was wearing outside, revealing Naruto's long-sleeved jacket underneath.
"Will it be cold?"
"Ok?"
"Your fingers should still be exposed, right?" Naruto said, "If you're cold, you can put them in my pocket."
Chaolu smiled: "Naruto, you... Naruto brother, you have become very good at taking care of people."
"The me you know... isn't good at taking care of you?"
"Naruto and I haven't seen each other for about two years. Although we ran into each other some time ago, there were a lot of people around at the time and I didn't have enough time to get to know him in depth. I think I know very little about what Naruto looks like when he grows up."
Naruto couldn't quite hear what she was saying, because Asaka didn't put her hands in his pockets.
Sakura said she didn't understand the boundaries of intimacy, but didn't she have a strong sense of boundaries with him?
He calmly moved Asuka a little further away from the others, causing the formation to become slightly deformed, but since it wasn't a big deal, Shikamaru didn't let him return to his original position even though he noticed it.
He looked at the silhouettes of Asaka and Naruto and said "tsk".
Naruto, are you awake...
Naruto felt the gazes directed at him, but he ignored them.
It doesn't matter whether it's Shikamaru's, Neji's, or Gaara's.
He asked, "What is your relationship with Neji and Gaara?"
Chaolu was a little puzzled and said as a matter of course: "It's a companion."
"Sakura and I are companions, but why won't she take my arm and hold my hand?"
Chaolu said gently: "I think everyone's situation is different."
"What's the difference?"
"Hmm..." He was just asking out of temper, but Chaolu really started to think seriously: "Because Naruto and Sakura have always lived under the 'rules' of Konoha? Neji, Gaara, and I all rebelled from our respective villages. A senior rebel ninja told us that the first step to becoming a rebel ninja is to break free from all the rules we knew before. Because rebel ninjas have to follow another set of rules. So our perceptions are probably different."
"Can a rebel ninja just hold a boy's hand casually?"
"Because the rules of interpersonal communication are often the basis of 'order'. And I probably don't care as much about the 'gender' of Gaara and Neji as 'you' do."
"But! Didn't you become ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village later? The order of the Hidden Mist Village should not be the order of rebellious ninjas!"
“That being said…”
However, the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village is a traitor who has taken over, and Zabuza himself cannot change for the better in a short time. The Insect Nest also carries out missions outside the village for a long time, and rarely has the time to return to the environment of orthodox order.
Later, Chaolu studied under Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi adheres to a set of order in his heart, but he can completely distort it on the outside.
Like his nails.
He is definitely not the type of person who would want to paint his nails black, but precisely because he doesn't want to, he needs to use "out-of-the-ordinary" behavior to remind and express himself, to let people know that he has completely betrayed his past.
There is no need to explain these so clearly.
Naruto said, "I don't think you're that way towards me."
"Ningji, Gaara, and I are all under the same 'order', but Naruto is not." Chaolu smiled patiently, "If I treat you the way we are used to, it will confuse Naruto. Besides, it might scare you and make you feel confused. You might even hate us."
“Are we from different worlds?”
"Ok?"
"You and Naruto from your world, too? People from different worlds?"
"I can only say that the environment we grew up in, the rules we followed, and the beliefs we accepted were completely different more than two years ago."
"You already have a lot of other friends. Even without him, you probably won't be lonely anymore."
Chaolu replied, “No.”
Naruto was slightly stunned, he turned to look at Chaolu: "Isn't it?"
"Naruto is unique. No matter when... he is the most important and special one."
