In the end, Jiraiya successfully stopped Uchiha Sasuke from leaving with one sentence——

"Young man, don't you want to know how deep your love is?"

"..." Uchiha Sasuke stopped, turned his head and asked, "You also know this?"

"Of course!" Jiraiya gave a thumbs up with a hearty smile on his face, "Don't forget, I am a world-renowned pure love novelist!"

"...The complicated and tangled relationship between men and women is not pure love." Even in front of the author himself, Uchiha Sasuke could complain directly.

"Oh, you've actually read my novel? It's such an honor!" Jiraiya caught the blind spot.

"...I just stood in front of the bookshelf in the bookstore and flipped through a little bit." Uchiha Sasuke pouted, "Compared to this set, I prefer the Around the World series, but I haven't downloaded the volume for so long, so in the end

When can it be released?”

Jiraiya: "..." A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead - urging for updates on the spot? It's scary... In fact, it would be easier to say if he was writing, but if he was being urged half-heartedly... he could only answer with a dry smile.

, "It's coming, it's coming, I'm writing, I'm writing..." As for whether it is true or not, well, only God knows and earth knows and he knows.

Fortunately, Uchiha Sasuke's current focus is not on this matter, so, driven by curiosity and desire to explore, he finally followed the "silver-haired delinquent novelist" honestly again to a store.

.It's like...a good-looking kitten looking up at the hung dried fish and walking forward step by step.

Fortunately, this time, after Jiraiya ordered drinks and snacks for the three of them, he signaled to the others that they did not need to entertain them, and finally had a suitable space for conversation.

Jiraiya didn't show off, and said directly: "Young man, there are many types and levels of love, and when it reaches a certain level, we will call it - love. Love includes like, but like does not

It must be love. You must also understand this truth."

Uchiha Sasuke frowned slightly, then nodded slowly: "Well, I understand what you mean."

"So, first of all -" Jiraiya raised a finger and started asking again, "Have you figured out how to confess to her? Don't tell me the details, just tell me if you have."

Uchiha Sasuke originally wanted to answer "I've thought about it", but he was stunned when the words came out. He thought seriously for a moment, and then slowly said: "I still need to think about it again." Because this is about

It is a confession that comes only once in a lifetime, so no matter how cautious you are, you will definitely do it, there is no doubt about it, but how to do it also requires careful thinking.

Jiraiya said "hmm" and nodded: Many times, liking is impulsive, while love is cautious.

Then, he asked again: "So, what do you want..."

…

In the following time, he asked Uchiha Sasuke many questions, and the latter indeed took a serious attitude and gave his own answers one by one after thinking. And in this process, if he was originally just conscious

When it comes to "I like her", so unknowingly...

He realized belatedly that his feelings might be stronger than his love... no, a little bit more cautious.

However, if he only chooses her and only wants to choose her, and only wants to be with her all the time, then is there really a big difference between liking or loving?

"Okay, finally," Jiraiya raised a finger again, "let's go back to the beginning. If she doesn't agree to your confession, what will you do?"

Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

"Sexy Sennin!" Uzumaki Naruto said with a dissatisfied expression, "How can you say that! Sasuke will definitely succeed!"

"But, nothing is ever 100% perfect in this world, Naruto." Jiraiya glanced at the junior he liked with gentle eyes, and said in a serious tone, "The person you like happens to like you too. Sometimes,

It is truly a miracle. Because of this, if you encounter it, you must cherish it well, well, with all your strength, and never give up no matter what."

Probably, no one is more qualified than him to say this...

Just at this moment, Uchiha Sasuke answered——

"Then keep confessing until she agrees."

What he said was quite decisive, because it was natural.

"Soga..." Jiraiya nodded in understanding and asked, "What if she chooses someone else in the end?"

"..." Uchiha Sasuke widened his eyes slightly. To be honest, he had never thought about this situation, because besides him, who else could she choose? No one would be better than him, right? If they were together,

You will definitely be very happy. It is a beautiful life that you can see without even thinking about it.

"Perhaps, you think, or speaking from objective conditions, that person is simply not as good as you, but she just likes it and chose it. Sasuke, what should you do in this situation?"

Uchiha Sasuke's face darkened little by little, and he slowly pursed his lips. Needless to say, he hated this assumption.

"Quit quietly? Continue your pursuit? Or should you say, even if you do all the bad things at any cost, you must still get the one you want?" Jiraiya kept putting forward hypotheses.

"...The last one is too despicable, isn't it?" Uzumaki Naruto muttered.

"No, Naruto, for some people, in order to get the ideal partner, they can do anything." Jiraiya raised his finger and shook it, "This is an objective reality, although I don't really support it.

Already."

But, a boy from the Uchiha clan, how would you choose?

Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a long time. To be honest, he was not willing to answer this kind of question. As the old saying goes, he hated this kind of assumption. However, he felt that he had to answer, so after thinking carefully, he said slowly:

"Since I like her, I must let her know my feelings. I am not afraid to compete with anyone, because no one is better than me, no one is more suitable for her than me. And if...she really didn't choose me,

Then," he gritted his teeth and said, "that guy had better be sincere and really treat her well, otherwise, I will not watch her hand herself over to her anyway."

"Soga..." Jiraiya smiled, "Did you finally choose to quit?"

"No," Uchiha Sasuke said decisively, "I will always look at her."

She'd better stay happy.

Otherwise, no matter how many times and no matter what he does, he will take her back and make her happy again.

Jiraiya was slightly startled, and then couldn't help but smile again: Oh... it's constant protection, this is really... both upright and sad, but...

"What a beautiful choice." He gave a thumbs up and said sincerely, "So, young man, what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and confess to the little girl you like?"

This is not liking.

This is love.

The most passionate and selfless kind.

Because he puts her happiness before his own desires.

"You don't have to tell me?" Uchiha Sasuke raised his lips slightly, "Of course I will do it. And she will definitely choose me, just wait and see."

"come on!"

Facing such a confident and proud young man, what can Jiraiya say? He can only say this and sincerely wish him well.

after all……

In short, the fewer frustrated people in this world, the better.

after a while……

Uzumaki Naruto said goodbye to his elders who claimed to continue collecting materials, and while walking at the intersection with his friends, he asked curiously: "Sasuke, the person you like is Obiko-san, right?"

"!" Uchiha Sasuke turned his head warily like a black cat whose tail has been stepped on, "Why do you ask?"

Emphasis is placed on the idea of ​​"doing it without asking for help".

"Intuition?" Little Golden Retriever tilted his head.

"..." Even though he has said it many times, Uchiha Sasuke still wants to repeat it again——

Your intuition is really perverted!

"So next, we both have to work hard~" Naruto Uzumaki gently pushed the person next to him with his shoulder and said with a bright smile on his face, "Want to have a competition? Let's see who can compete with the one he likes first.

Object communication.”

Uchiha Sasuke was a little moved at first, and then decisively refused: "No. Things about her should never be gambled."

Uzumaki Naruto was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously, and nodded in agreement: "You are right, I was wrong, and I will never say this about Sakura-related matters in the future."

"Um."

"Then Sasuke..."

"Um?"

"Have you decided when to confess?"

"I've thought about it."

"Hey? When?"

"secret."

"Eh??? Stingy!!!"

"snort."

Time flies by...

This small incident was like a pebble, which did not cause any ripples in other people's lives. It only plunged heavily into Sasuke Uchiha's heart, causing ripples.

Since he has made up his mind, he naturally lives with determination.

Therefore, during this period of time, from the perspective of Itachi Uchiha, who had been secretly observing his younger brother - Sasuke, who was originally a little anxious, gradually returned to his previous calmness, and it seemed that time had indeed smoothed everything out.

But this knowledge did not make him feel pure peace of mind, or in other words, he was not really sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. After all, although he had his own "selfishness", at the same time, he also loved deeply
