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

Chapter 305 Discussion

"I would love it if I were you."

"what?"

"Then there's still a goal to chase."

"……what?"

"If you're not pretty enough, there's always room for improvement; if you're not strong enough, you can still work hard to become stronger... You can always impress her."

"You mean," Shikamaru gritted his teeth, "you are already good-looking enough and strong enough, there is no room for improvement. If you can't impress the other party with your looks and strength, then there is nothing you can do, right?"

"I didn't say that."

"I really want to beat you up."

"You're too weak to do that."

Shikamaru laughed angrily. "Rather than your looks and abilities, why don't you change your personality first?"

"..."

"Forget it. If you change, then you're not you anymore. If you pretend to be something else to be liked, then she won't like the real you."

"..."

At this moment, Naruto ran out of the woods, but he didn't come over. He just put his hand to his mouth and shouted like a megaphone: "Shikamaru, Sasuke--"

Shikamaru turned his head and raised his voice to respond: "What's wrong-?"

"I want to spar with Chaolu - we'll fight soon, don't worry -"

"Discussion?"

"Yeah! Chaolu said she wanted to fight me once!"

Seeing that he had already greeted them in advance, Naruto smiled and waved to Shikamaru and Sasuke, then turned around and ran back into the woods.

Shikamaru and Sasuke looked at each other, and the next second, the Uchiha clan's iconic fireball exploded in the woods.

Then a thick fog quickly dissipated.

Shikamaru commented: "The Hidden Mist Jutsu...it really is the signature ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist Village."

Sasuke had already stood up, looking into the fog with a frown on his face.

As waves of earth-shaking noises came, they could occasionally hear Naruto explaining his moves -

"Asaro, be careful! This is the Wind Style Rasenshuriken! It can condense wind-attribute chakra into needles that can directly attack cells. Granny Tsunade said it can even be called a toxin!"

Even though he couldn't see the details of their battle, Shikamaru could guess from various signs that Naruto was showing all his moves, from the smallest to the largest in power, to Chaolu.

Soon after, two huge monsters emerged from the fog above the woods.

The Nine-Tailed Fox and Susanoo collided with each other with their fingers tightly clasped, and were in a stalemate.

Sasuke placed his hands on the sword at his waist, ready to strike at any time.

"Asaro, I'm going to use the Tailed Beast Ball!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth wide, and one of its tailed beast balls, as dark as a black hole, was rapidly taking shape.

Shikamaru: "...Wait, are we going to go this far!?"

Another Susanoo rose up beside him, and Sasuke slashed between Asaka and Naruto, snapping, "Naruto, are you crazy?!"

"I know my limits and I can control it."

With Sasuke's intervention, the Tailed Beast Ball in the Nine-Tails' mouth quickly dissipated.

Chaolu was originally standing at the heart of her Susanoo, but Sasuke was standing at the center of his Susanoo's forehead, much taller than her. She had no choice but to move to the center of her Susanoo's forehead and said to him, "I asked him to do this because I wanted to know how strong Naruto was when he fought you and what ninjutsu he used."

"What kind of situation do you think that was!?" Sasuke was obviously really angry: "What are you going to use to resist!"

"Naruto said you used Raikiri."

Sasuke said coldly: "I also used Susanoo as a container to absorb the nine tailed beasts. Do you want to try it too?"

The mint-colored Susanoo almost dissipated quietly, and then Naruto took back the power of the Nine-Tails. After a moment, Sasuke also fell from the Susanoo.

He folded his arms, his face frosty, and watched with a cold expression as Chaolu and Naruto walked out of the woods side by side.

The two of them looked at each other, both with bitter expressions, and their eyes seemed to be communicating silently.

"Sasuke is angry, what should I do..."

"Why is he suddenly angry?"

"So scary, Sasuke is so scary when he's angry!"

"Don't be afraid! Zhaolu, I will protect you!"

Naruto stood firmly in front of Asaka and walked in front of Sasuke.

"Why are you angry, Sasuke... Have we noticed that this side has been affected?"

Shikamaru: ...Stop talking like that, he'll only get angrier if you say that!

At this time, Sakura hurried back, panicking: "What's going on!? I saw Susanoo and Kyuubi fighting from a distance!?"

But when she looked at Naruto and Asaro, it didn't seem like they were enemies. Moreover, if a war broke out, Naruto and Sasuke would definitely be on the same side. But at this moment, it seemed like Naruto and Asaro were on the same side, confronting Sasuke.

She was stunned for a moment in confusion.

Naruto waved at her, "Ah, Sakura, Asaro and I are sparring."

Shikamaru covered his forehead with a headache: "...Your tone is quite relaxed, Naruto."

Sasuke stared at the girl standing behind Naruto, "Asaka, come out."

Chaolu: “…”

She looked up at him, then lowered her head again and stood silently beside Naruto like a student being scolded by a teacher.

"Why didn't your companions come to check on you?"

Perhaps she didn't expect he would ask this. Chaolu was confused for a moment. She looked up at the tent where Neji was, and the direction of the river where Gaara was.

"Gaara's sand came over to check on me just now. I told him everything was fine. As for Neji...he knows what my chakra looks like when I'm fighting. He should be able to tell that I'm just training. Besides...I'm fighting Naruto. There's no need to worry."

"Really? If you don't need to worry about fighting him, how do you think my arm is broken? You think he is too harmless! With such a powerful force, what will you do if he can't control it in time? This guy has never been good at fine control of chakra!"

"What?!" Naruto immediately protested, "Isn't my arm broken too? Why are you talking like I'm dangerous! We are equally dangerous!"

Shikamaru:"……"

Sakura: "...Anyway, it looks like everything is really alright... I'm glad it's alright."

Shikamaru patted Sasuke's shoulder gently, "You really act like a brother, Sasuke."

Sasuke frowned and said, "I'm not her brother."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, but..." Shikamaru looked at Asaka and Naruto. They were secretly communicating with their eyes again, like classmates who secretly passed notes to each other during class.

Naruto made a face and Chaolu was immediately amused.

Sasuke noticed that Shikamaru's expression was not right, and he turned around and saw this scene following his gaze, and immediately shouted angrily: "Uzumaki Naruto!!"

Shikamaru: "Wow, you called me by my full name."

"We are not fooling around! This is really important to me!" This time it was Chaolu who stood in front of Naruto. She looked at Sasuke and explained earnestly: "Not only do I want to spar with Naruto, but also with you! I want to spar with you too! About the moves you know, the way you fight, how you think when fighting, the ninjutsu you use, your Susanoo, your eye techniques... I want to know everything too!"

Sasuke: "..."

Shikamaru: "Ah, you calmed down. That was quick."
