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

Chapter 202 S-Class Rebel Ninja

I did not hide my trust and closeness to Uchiha Itachi.

I think it's a waste of time to pretend to be wary of him at the beginning, and then gradually let down my guard and become familiar with him naturally.

Would that make him feel more normal and more likely to trust me?

Based on my observation, it seems not.

Uchiha Itachi was extremely introverted. Even when he was teaching me, he would remain silent as long as he felt that "this sentence did not have to be said".

After spending some time together, I felt like he was a black hole.

No matter what kind of emotions you put into him, he will accept them all and then seem to throw them into the void to be swallowed.

I was friendly towards him, and Deidara was hostile towards him, but he didn't care about either attitude.

This extreme indifference put him infinitely far away from everyone.

But sometimes, when he looked up at the sky alone, or suddenly lost his concentration and stared at a bird flying over his head, I could feel that he was not born to be unresponsive to the outside world.

How can he open up?

I tried to think from Uchiha Itachi's perspective.

If I were Uchiha Itachi, how would my performance appear in his eyes?

Although he would not care about my attitude, he would definitely subconsciously evaluate me in his mind and judge the threat, because this is the instinct of a ninja.

To those who don't know the inside story, I may appear to be gullible, incautious, and therefore untrustworthy.

How will he understand my kindness towards him?

According to the information obtained by Uchiha Itachi, I was created by Konoha and fled because of the greed of the top leaders. There is no conflict of interest between us. On the contrary, because I possess the Sharingan, I have a natural blood connection with him.

Although he was not close to me, he had no hostility towards me either. This might be because he longed for peace and was loyal to Konoha, while I was forced to defect and was working hard to reform the Hidden Mist Village.

Of course, the most important thing is probably the relationship between Sasuke and I.

So he was willing to help me.

But that's about it.

Moreover, the relationship between Uchiha Madara and him seems to be much more complicated than the simple "senior and junior" that I imagined.

This made me sure that it was the right decision for me to directly reveal my true attitude towards him. However, although it was correct, it seemed to be useless.

If I can't gain his trust and make him accept me opening the Sharingan on him, then in the end I will have no choice but to resort to forcibly using the eye technique on him.

But if I am not sure of killing him with one blow, if I fail, I think Uchiha Itachi will never live in peace with me and teach me wholeheartedly like we do now.

In this way, I kept delaying beside Uchiha Itachi and didn't find a good opportunity.

Wouldn't this person reveal any flaws?

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

During these three months, I met with Uchiha Itachi about two or three times a week, and practiced on my own the rest of the time.

The Wood Release technique he mentioned before made me a little concerned, so I secretly practiced it on my own, thinking that if the final blow failed and a fight broke out, I would have a trump card to trap him.

But I was not good at earth escape before, and I couldn't find the feeling at the beginning, so I asked Gaara to bury me in the sand. In the sand, I imagined myself as a seed, trying to sprout and break through the soil, to see if I could become closer to the earth attribute chakra.

Neji said: "...I don't think so."

Fortunately! I still know Deidara!

There is no one better than the former Iwagakure rebel ninja who came from the Iwagakure Village to teach me earth escape!

Therefore, on the eve of the time when I agreed with Deidara to spend a week together every month, I asked for leave from Uchiha Itachi.

He asked me, “Why?”

I couldn't say that I was practicing earth escape in order to deal with him in the future, nor could I reveal my relationship with Deidara, so I could only say vaguely, "I have to go back to the Hidden Mist Village."

Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything, but the next time we met, he asked me an unexpected question, "Are you and Deidara lovers?"

"Eh?!"

"Uchiha Madara said you didn't return to the Hidden Mist Village."

"??? How did he know? He was spying on me???"

"He has his sources of information, which I don't know. But he asked me to ask you what's going on between you and Deidara."

I frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with him?"

Uchiha Itachi said: "I thought... you would like Sasuke."

"I like Sasuke."

"So do you like Deidara?"

"I like Deidara too!"

"If your love for Sasuke is the same as your love for Deidara, then it's not the kind of love I'm talking about."

"Sure enough, when it comes to Sasuke, Itachi-sensei's words change a lot."

"..."

It was a rare occasion that he was interested in having a deep conversation with me. I didn't want it to end there, so I quickly said, "Deidara and I are friends, and Sasuke... Actually, I don't know what Sasuke and I are... friends? But he said he was my brother, that we were family, and that he would definitely return to Konoha in the future, and when that happens, he and I will become real family. But can we really be considered family, can we be a real family? I'm a little unsure."

"Sasuke said he would return to Konoha?"

I carefully observed Uchiha Itachi's expression and analyzed the subtle changes in his tone, and felt that he seemed to have revealed a hint of relief just now.

I thought to myself, but it’s also possible that there will be no Konoha in the future.

I quickly catered to his preferences and praised Sasuke's strengths: "Sasuke is very gentle. He would peel a rabbit apple for me when I was sick. We agreed to set off fireworks together when we went to the beach for the first time. I don't even remember when we went to the Land of Waves, but he secretly brought me a fairy wand... He also said that he would never let me go through the pain he had experienced again. I think he is a very good brother!"

"Really...you call Sasuke brother."

Uchiha Itachi, seems to have finally become a little closer to me.

But after that, Deidara sent a letter saying that the tasks assigned to him suddenly increased and he would not be able to meet me for the time being.

Until two or three months later, that is, until now, we haven't seen each other for a month.

My earth escape practice came to a halt for a long time, which made me a little anxious.

It just so happened that Uchiha Itachi also had to leave for something else, and I thought, since Deidara was too busy to come, but I was free.

I might as well go find Deidara while Uchiha Itachi is not available to teach me.

Although Deidara should be with his partner when he goes out on missions and cannot expose our relationship, but in 24 hours a day, he should always find a way to find time to meet with me alone, right?

The Hidden Mist Village was very short of people, and when we were out there with no bounty missions to follow up, Zabuza asked Gaara and Neji to go back to help. One of them was talented enough to become Kazekage, and the other was a genius, so they would definitely be a great help. Of course, I had no objection.

Since I was alone, my actions could be more covert.

only……

Deidara said that the location of his mission this time is in the Land of Wind.

"Gaara, do you want to go with me?"

Although Neji was worried that if the people of the Sand Village met Gaara, they might get into trouble, but he couldn't make the decision on Gaara's behalf.

Gaara said, "If Chaolu wants me to go with you, I will go with you."

...I always remember that Gaara could have become the Kazekage.

Although he has never mentioned his homeland on his own initiative so far, I always feel that his bond with the Sand Village still exists.

"Then, Gaara, come with me."

Gaara, I and Tone, as a group of three, headed to the northern part of the Kingdom of Wind.

I wanted to give him a surprise, so when I arrived near the area Deidara mentioned, I released the clay bird and followed it.

However, when I saw the two figures, Deidara was standing on the back of a bird, above a town, in a detonation posture.

Just as he was about to raze the town in front of him to ruins, the clay bird came into his sight.

The boy's explosive action paused for a moment.

Scorpion asked from behind him, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. My secret informant sent me some information." Deidara caught the clay bird and took the rolled-up letter paper from its feet.

This kind of paper is very special. It is written with special ink. It is completely invisible and can only be seen by inputting chakra.

"Deidara, I'm here to play with you. If you have time to leave your partner and come see me, please reply and tell me the specific time and place."

Scorpion said: "Your secret agents have been very active recently. I haven't heard of any recent actions from the Hidden Rock Village."

After reading the text, Deidara's face suddenly brightened up, "My hidden line is quite powerful. Hmm!"

He put the letter into his pocket, opened his hands, and said excitedly: "Okay! Hurry up and complete the organization's mission. I want to have a good rest!!"

But just as he was about to blow up the town, the sand, like the giant hand of the guardian god of this place, grabbed the big bird on the head.

"!?"

Deidara and Scorpion were caught off guard by the attack, but they managed to dodge it and quickly locked onto the enemy.

Gaara and I stood on the sand cloud, lifted up by the sand flow and rising into the air.

I stared at Deidara and asked, "You, do you want to blow up this town?"

Deidara subconsciously opened his mouth, as if he wanted to call my name, but Scorpion was behind him, so he immediately bit his lip.

Scorpion recognized me, "That kid from Wave Country... the Sharingan?"

He also recognized Gaara: "I heard that you took away the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village... It seems that he is the one. I have never tried a puppet with a Sharingan. You may become one of my precious collections."

"Brother Scorpion!!"

Scorpion was a little confused by Deidara's angry tone: "Why?"

"I ask again, do you want to blow up this town?"

Deidara tried to speak to me as if he were an enemy, "This is the organization's mission."

But Scorpion heard something wrong: "What are you explaining to her?"

"...Get out of the way," Deidara said, "or I'll blow you away too."

Scorpion was obviously suspicious: "How come I didn't know that you are the kind of person who would let the enemy go?"

"What crime did this town commit to deserve this punishment?"

"I told you, it's the organization's order. As a ninja, what's wrong with following orders?"

"You mean," I looked at Deidara and suddenly felt that he was very strange. Before this, I knew that he was an S-rank wanted criminal, but I never felt it was real. "You don't know anything about this town, but someone asked you to raze it to the ground, and you did it without caring?! What do the lives of so many people mean to you?!"

"...I've asked you before!" Deidara looked even angrier than me: "I've asked you before! I'm a traitor from the Hidden Rock Village!! And an S-rank wanted criminal, but you're an Anbu from the Hidden Mist Village... Didn't you tell me that even so, you still think I'm a good person?!"

Scorpion said slowly: "...you guys...?"

Deidara ignored him and completely forgot that he had said before that he would keep our relationship a secret: "You were the one who said you didn't mind, why are you using this reason to blame me now?!"

"...I was too naive." I said, "At that time, I didn't understand what an S-rank rebel ninja meant."

Because Uchiha Itachi is also an S-rank rebel ninja.

Zabuza, Haku, and myself are also defectors.

That gave me an illusion.

Not all rebel ninjas are bad people.

Even an S-rank rebel ninja might just be a good person with his own difficulties.

"So what do you want?" Deidara glared at me. His hands hung in his sleeves, and I don't know if he was too angry, so he was shaking slightly. "Kill me?!"
