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

Chapter 51 I Have Understood "Like"

The next day, the whole atmosphere of the school was different.

The fourth-grade students poured out of the classroom and filled the playground. Those who had signed up for the events were busy gathering and warming up, while those who had not signed up were eating snacks, strolling around slowly, and then rushing back to cheer for their classmates when they played.

There were sports meets in grades one and two, but we were still young at the time, so the events arranged were all recreational competitions, more like games between children. It was not until grade four that there was finally some competitiveness.

Ino dragged me to participate in the relay race, and I felt very sorry: "Why is there no swimming event?"

Ino said helplessly: "You really like water."

Because I'm good at it.

People always like what they are good at.

During these three years, I feel like I have roughly understood what the feeling of "liking" is all about.

I like water, swimming, the sea, strawberries, snow, drizzle, movies, flowers, Shikamaru, Naruto, Ino, Shino, Kakashi...

I like my current life, like coming to school every day, and like being with my friends every day.

So every time Ino asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I couldn't think of anything.

Although I feel a little sorry every time I see her racking her brains and worrying about this, I feel that I already have everything I want.

If you really want something...

I just hope that my mission can be completed.

I hope I can see Shikamaru-sama again, see Orochimaru, Kabuto, Ino-sama...

I want to see surprised smiles on their faces, I want to see Ino-sama take off that heavy helmet, I want to see Shikamaru-sama relax his tense shoulders, I want to see everyone basking in the sun again.

However, that is not a wish that can be made in the name of a birthday present.

I still remember that first year, Kakashi was the first person to ask me what I wanted for my birthday.

At that time, he took Naruto and me to the river to practice walking on water. My progress was much faster than Naruto's, so we soon sat under the shade of a tree with Kakashi, watching Naruto float up and down in the water.

As soon as I walked over, he put away the movie "Intimate Paradise" he was reading and started talking to me naturally: "By the way, when is Chaolu's birthday?"

"November 9."

"Zhaolu remembers her birthday?"

"I don't remember," I shook my head, "but Shikamaru's birthday is September 9nd. I wanted to be connected to him, so I chose September 22rd. When is Kakashi-san's birthday?"

"September 9th."

"Hey! Isn't that super close to our birthday!?"

Kakashi curled his eyes: "Yes."

"Is there anything you would like as a gift, Mr. Kakashi?"

He was slightly stunned, "Chaolu wants to give me a gift?"

"Ok!"

"Don't force yourself."

"I want to prepare a gift for you." I said seriously, "Because Mr. Kakashi is worthy of my heart. However, I may not be able to give you something very expensive now... But when I become a ninja in the future and make money, I will definitely give you a gift that can prove my love for you!

"...Thank you." He paused and showed a slightly strange look: "Although I am very touched, it is really a bit strange for Chaolu to speak honorifics to me with that face..."

I hugged my knees and looked at him innocently: "But I can't just call you by your name."

"That's right." He patted my head in a compromising manner, "In the future, I will have to be Chaolu's teacher."

"Kakashi-sensei!"

"Well," Kakashi smiled, "Sensei sounds better than Sensei."

"why?"

"Because Sir sounds too distant. Every time I hear Chaolu call me that and see Chaolu's face, I feel like I've been stabbed."

I stared at his face, lost in thought.

My appearance was designed by Orochimaru to ensure that I could enter Team 7. If I have already been confirmed to be Kakashi's student, then this face will have no special use, right?

"If my face makes the teacher feel uncomfortable...why don't I also wear a mask like the teacher?"

"……Eh?"

"I can wear a mask now, and when I become a ninja in the future, I will also pull down the forehead protector to cover one eye, so that I can cover my face as much as possible."

Kakashi laughed, "That's too strange. But since my lovely student said so, I, as a teacher, can't just say something. What would you like for Chaolu's birthday present?"

I looked at him, and then at Naruto who had just fallen into the water not far away and immediately climbed out of the water, "Teacher Kakashi, do you know?"

"Ok?"

"Actually, Naruto is a very good kid."

He was slightly stunned, and his voice became a little deeper: "Yeah."

"So I hope Kakashi-sensei can... I hope everyone can be nicer to him. That's the birthday present I want."

He looked at me in silence.

After a long while, Kakashi smiled bitterly and said, "Asuro...my birthday present is a wish I made for myself."

"But my wish is that Naruto can live a good life, and I hope he can live a long life without any illness or disaster."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of Naruto falling into the water again, but for some reason, he didn't float up this time.

Could it be that he had a cramp, was out of strength, fainted from using up his chakra, or was he entangled in the water plants at the bottom of the river?

I stood up in panic and rushed over to check the situation.

As soon as I swam to him, Naruto floated up on his own.

He tilted his head back, closed his eyes and gasped towards the sky in the middle of the river. Countless drops of water slid down his face. When he opened his eyes and looked at me, his blue eyes were wet.

Seeing that he was okay, I was relieved.

"Did you open your eyes just now at the bottom of the river?" I grabbed his arm worriedly, "Your eyes are so red."

He shook his head silently, and the water droplets on his hair splashed around like a puppy shaking its fur.

"I wonder if the water in this river is clean... You've been practicing for a long time. Let's go to the shore and take a rest. I brought eye drops with me. If your eyes feel uncomfortable, just put a drop in."

He nodded obediently.

When I pulled Naruto ashore, Kakashi was standing on the shore with a large bath towel ready in his hand, and he wrapped us up.

Naruto wrapped his head with a bath towel and kept rubbing his eyes. Perhaps he had fallen into the water too many times.

I was busy looking for eye drops for him.

And on that summer afternoon, I realized that the birthday gift was only for myself.

My ignorance at that time must have caused trouble to Kakashi-sensei. Whenever I think about it occasionally, I always feel a little sorry.

At those times, I must have caused trouble to many people, but now they are still willing to stay with me and always tolerate me gently.

Every time I think about this, I feel an indescribable emotion.

I couldn't help but hold the arm of Ino beside me.

Ino: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel like I like Ino so much."

"...I have no problem with you doing this to me, but last time during the fireworks festival, you suddenly hugged Shikamaru and said this, it almost blew his brains out."

"Eh?"

Ino patted my shoulder and said, "But luckily you later hugged me, Naruto, and Shino in turn and said the same thing, so Shikamaru was able to return to normal."

"Because! When everyone saw the fireworks explode, didn't you feel some strong emotions in your chest? If you didn't express them, you would feel very, very uncomfortable, right?"

"I understand." Ino suppressed her laughter and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let Shikamaru stand next to you."
