The Daimyo's Mansion and his party temporarily stayed at Hinata's house, and the attendant asked Rika if she would rebuild the palace immediately, Xiude frowned, and was about to say something, but she glanced at her sister next to her, and pursed her lips.

At present, Konoha Village is in shambles, shrouded in the grief of losing the Hokage, and everyone is busy scoring. Lack of skills.

Rika watched a little dazed as the Hinata family went in and out, building the destroyed courtyard and the collapsed shrine nearby, and even the eldest lady of the clan, Hinata and the second lady, rolled up their sleeves to help in the scorching sun.

"Later." Rika said slowly, gesturing to an old couple a hundred meters away who were carrying stones and planks from the rubble, "You guys go over and see if there's anything you need help with." ”

The attendant responded with "yes" and led a team into the construction.

Xiudeok furrowed his brows, his gaze became very soft to stare at his sister, and then he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. He has always believed that his pampered sister will definitely only cause trouble to others no matter where she is, and it is enough for her to obediently be a powerful person in the Daimyo's mansion, and not to go out and harm others, especially Konoha. Looks like he's wrong, right?

Father is right, when it comes to growing up, Rika is much faster than him.

It turns out that he is the most stubborn person for so many years, and he is probably the only one who is the most self-righteous.

The supplies aided by the Daimyo's Mansion soon arrived in Konoha Village, and Hidetoku commanded the guards to distribute them, and the two Konoha advisors said "a great favor".

Remembering that Jiraiya had rejected Mito Menyan's proposal to let him serve as Hokage, Hidetoku couldn't help but ask about the new Hokage worriedly, and turned to Koharu and said, "Tsunade is the most powerful female ninja in Konoha, and when she comes back to take up the position of Hokage, everything will return to the normal track." ”

Hidetoku has always been very concerned about Konoha, and naturally he has heard of the granddaughter of the first Hokage, the student of the third Hokage, and his tone is a little worried: "If Tsunade-san refuses to ...... either"

Koharu and Mito Menyan glanced at each other, was silent for a moment, and said, "If Tsunade refuses to come back, we still have Kakashi, and His Highness Hidetoku doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Rika didn't really care who was the Hokage, and when she heard Kakashi's name, she pricked up her ears to listen attentively to the conversation between her brother and the two advisors.

Even though she doesn't know much about the rights and wrongs in the ninja world, Rika knows that all the four generations of Hokage who have gone through since the establishment of Konoha Village have died well.

Ninjas regard dying on the battlefield as the greatest honor, and the princess of the Fire Country, who has lived in an ivory tower since she was a child, cannot understand it.

Rika was uneasy in her heart, and she turned around and was about to walk away, when she heard her brother call out to her behind her: "Where are you going?" ”

"Take a walk around the neighborhood." As she spoke, she walked forward without looking back. Ryoko followed her step by step.

Rika walked around the streets and saw a ninja approaching her, so she asked, "Where is Kakashi?" ”

The other party replied, "The upper ninjas are all in the third training ground." Without saying a word, Rika walked in the direction of the third training ground, and Ryoko thanked the ninja and followed closely behind her.

Kakashi was discussing something with Kai, Asma, and Yusun, when Rika said to Ryoko, "Don't come with me", and walked into the training ground, running straight to Kakashi's side and pulling him aside.

Probably because her face was not very good, Akai, Asma, and Sunset looked at each other, and Ryoko bowed slightly to the three of them on behalf of her princess.

Walking to a place where the other ninjas couldn't be heard, Rika let go of Kakashi's arm and stared at him with a frowning brow, a bit of a desire to speak.

Kakashi wanted to say something like "It's rude to suddenly rush over and interrupt someone's speech", but seeing her like this, he just asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She took his hand again, clasping his broad palms in both hands, as if that would calm her heart a little.

Konoha in August was so hot that even the wildflowers on the side of the road were listless, but her palms were cold and cold.

"Do you want to be the Hokage?" She spoke.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth to say this, Kakashi was stunned, and then looked at her helplessly: "Did you hear something somewhere?" ”

Rika briefly recounted the conversation between Hidetoku and the two Konoha advisors, and Kakashi listened and replied lightly, "Yes." "It's a little like expected, it's a little bit like it doesn't matter whatever.

Rika couldn't see his thoughts from his expression, so she asked again, "Do you want to be the Hokage?" ”

"Whatever Konoha needs me to do, I'll do." It doesn't matter whether he wants to or not, in the mind of the first technician, it is his responsibility to do what he can for the village. Even if he can't do it, he will grit his teeth and hold on until the last moment.

Hearing him say this, Rika wanted to cry: "It's dangerous." "Miyome Hokage had just passed away, and she was afraid that the person who would repeat the mistake was the youth in front of her.

Kakashi smiled, "Princess, a ninja is the one who stands up in the face of danger." As he spoke, he looked around, and his eyes showed a faint nostalgia - this training ground is the best testimony, he had practiced with his father, mentor, companions, and many ninjas who had died on the battlefield before they had time to know him, and each of them had never flinched in the face of danger.

Rika stomped her feet a little angrily and panicked: "They themselves refuse to be Hokage, so they know to push it to you!" ”

Her look so serious and anxious made Kakashi cry and laugh, she didn't understand many things in the village, and she didn't know how to explain to her: "There is no such thing, you misunderstood." ”

In Rika's eyes at this moment, Kakashi is a big fat sheep who has been sold and has to pay for him.

"Don't you do anything Hokage, I'll go and talk to my father and ask him to appoint someone else to do it."

It seems that the misunderstanding is a bit big...... Kakashi felt that he was starting to have a headache, and although he claimed to be wise, he always felt that it was a lot of work to use his brain in front of her. He thought about it for a moment and decided that it would be better to correct her concept: "Princess......"

As soon as she spoke, she interrupted her, and saw that she looked as if she had made some important decision, and said in a very firm tone: "Don't worry about what others say, I will protect you." ”

For a moment, Kakashi suddenly forgot what he was going to say.

She said she wanted to protect him.

When Kakashi was young, he was indeed protected. His father, his teacher, and many other senior ninjas had protected him during the mission - ah, not only him, but as long as it was a young child, it would be protected by the elders first. The strong have an obligation to protect the weak.

But he has grown up, he has grown up to the same position as the "strong" of his former elders, and it is his turn to protect others.

On the other hand, she is the pearl of the pampered Daimyo's mansion, she has no talent, no skills, she can only eat, drink and have fun, and she is weak compared to him. No, she's weaker than any female ninja.

Even if she lived in Konoha for a while, she had to bring a dozen attendants to serve her.

When I eat on weekdays, I can't even eat a little bit of "sour and spicy" in the "sweet and sour".

Afraid of pain, tiredness, fear of bitterness, no endurance at all.

And now she held the hand in his palm, so thin and soft, as if it could be broken with a slight force.

Obviously, she needs to be taken care of meticulously at all times, and she needs to be carefully pampered and coaxed.

But she actually said that she would protect him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Rika was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she held his hand tightly, as if she was in a hurry to persuade him, and nodded vigorously: "Well, I can do it, you believe me." ”

It's funny, but Kakashi finds himself unable to laugh.

Obviously, he could laugh at all her willful requests and self-conscious words before.

"Princess...... cough," Kakashi came back from a moment of wandering, but his voice was not as sharp as usual, and he quickly cleared his throat, "Jiraiya-sama and Naruto will definitely bring Tsunade-sama back, you're thinking too much." As he said this, he was finally able to bend his signature crescent eyes, and anyone who saw him would exclaim, "Ah, Kakashi-san, who is still as reliable and gentle as ever."

It's a pity that Rika never bought his account.

Seeing that he looked perfunctory to her, she puffed out her cheeks and glared at him.

Kakashi lifted her other hand that wasn't being held by her and patted the top of her hair gently, "Don't be cranky. ”

Rika felt nervous, worried, and cared about feeding the dog.

Feed the single dog in front of you who doesn't understand her mood at all! Damn it! Hum!

In order not to be, she decided not to talk to him for the time being.

Rika let go of her hand and wanted to turn around and walk away, but found that she didn't know when she was holding his palm and he was gently holding it. Rika looked surprised and looked up at him.

Kakashi also found out, and quickly loosened his fingers, and the girl's hand immediately fell back to her side, and he inserted his hand as if nothing had happened. into the pocket of the pants.

Don't ask him, he doesn't know when he held it, could it be just when he was thinking "her hand can be easily broken"? Fortunately, it wasn't really broken, otherwise he would have been unloaded into eighteen pieces by the Daimyo's Mansion.

Rika glared at him one last time with a "unteachable" gaze, and ran out of the exercise ground in a rage.

Kakashi walked slowly back to Akai and them, and Sunset Red asked, "Are you alright?" I saw that the princess was about to cry. ”

After all, after being a guardian for a long time, Asma still has feelings for the people and things of the Daimyo's Mansion: "Although the princess is a little willful, her heart is not bad, so don't worry too much about her." ”

This pair of Konoha national CPs has gradually changed from the sympathetic first technician back then to the sympathetic princess Rika now.

Kakashi glanced at them, and his silver hair, which had been soaring to the sky, slowly wilted as if sensing his master's mood, and he heard him sigh in a rather distressed tone, "I feel like my retribution has arrived." ”

The other three didn't understand what the hell he was talking about.
