The Daimyo of the Land of Fire is fun, so there are many events throughout the country. There were upright retainers who said that the monarch should cultivate himself to set an example, and wanton pleasure will only make the country's spirit gradually sluggish. The daimyo said: "Our country has achieved this prosperity thanks to the hard work of its people. When you are prosperous, when you are not happy, when will you wait? The retainer was speechless.

It's just after half past eleven midnight, the capital of the Fire Country.

The streets are full of fire trees and silver flowers, and in addition to the stars in the sky, there are also people on the streets. Everyone is busy, bang, bang, click, and sound.

"Although the daimyo is fond of pleasure, this is not an exaggeration." Maitkai, who had just returned from a mission in another country, looked around with a watermelon head, and sighed at the main road of the capital.

"Don't you know, Kaisan doesn't know, tomorrow is Princess Rika's coming-of-age ceremony." Tenzo kindly relieved him, and at the same time patted the dust on the ninja's waistcoat, which was not zài, "Asmasang and I came from Konoha because we received an invitation to watch the ceremony. ”

"I see, that's ......" Akai suddenly realized, but the next second he exclaimed: "Huh? You've all received invitations? Why didn't I?! Without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned back to the silver-haired young man who was two meters behind them and raised his voice, "Kakashi, have you received an invitation to the princess's coming-of-age ceremony?" ”

The silver-haired ninja who walked slowly while reading the little yellow book didn't even raise his head, and responded perfunctorily: "Well, there is." ”

Tenzo smiled: "What are you asking, Kakashi-senpai and the princess have such a good relationship......" The words were only half a sentence, and they were lightly glanced at by a bad former boss who didn't know whether they were intentional or unintentional, and Tenzo's unfinished words turned into ice and condensed in his throat.

Akai didn't notice the turbulent surge between the two, beat his chest and pointed at the silver-haired young man indignantly: "Damn! As your eternal rival, I lost another game! ”

Kakashi finally had time to look up from the little yellow book and give him a dead fish's eye: "Don't decide whether you win or lose inexplicably. ”

Asma hurriedly appeased the watermelon-headed young man who was about to provoke the competition without authorization: "All the Shinobi in Konoha have been invited, and you are on a mission, so you didn't have time to inform you." ”

While the four of them were talking, the time was approaching the wee hours of the morning, and the noise on the streets was extremely incommensurate with the inky sky overhead.

The conversation between the pedestrians all revolves around tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony and the protagonist Princess Rika.

"This is the biggest feast in nearly fifty years!"

"Princess Lixiang, I saw it from afar that day, oh my little liver, it's pounding until now!"

"It's such an honor for my daughter to be able to attend the coming-of-age ceremony on the same day as the princess."

"The princess of our country of fire, Maung Sheng Chun Sakura, has grown from a beauty to a great beauty."

…………

…………

Let's go, let's go.

Tenzo slapped his cheeks heavily with both hands, trying to slap away all the irrepressible sneaky smiles, and then turned around very casually and said, "Kakashi-senpai, in the blink of an eye, you and the princess have known each other for so many years...... Hey, what about Kakashi-senpai? ”

There is still the shadow of a silver-haired young man behind him.

Akai and Asma also looked left and right for a while, and they didn't notice anything: "Why did the one who was still there just now suddenly disappear?" ”

Akai hated iron and said like steel: "Really, I don't say a word when I disappear, do you learn the instantaneous technique well!" Why did such a man who has no responsibility choose Konoha as the first dream lover of Konoha! ”

At 11:59 a.m., the capital city of the Fire Country, which had been brightly lit, suddenly fell into darkness, leaving only the distant stars in the sky emitting a faint and faint light.

12 midnight - boom! Boom! Boom!

Like the sound of the gods before the arrival of the gods, the mountains shook in an instant, and the dark and dead sky suddenly bloomed with dazzling colorful fireworks, one after another, dizzying, indescribable gorgeous like a tsunami impacting this unusual night.

A wave of cheers poured out from the ground, reaching into the sky.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

In one of the courtyards of the Daimyo's Mansion, the sturdy branches grew horizontally, and it was not difficult for him to bear the weight of a girl. A girl with a delicate face like porcelain, her long hair uncombed, fluttering gently in the cold January wind. She looked up at the night sky, her big eyes reflecting the splendor of the sky.

The young man under the tree leaned sideways against the trunk with his arms folded, his eyes slid from the girl to the fireworks in the air, and responded: "Yes, it's beautiful." ”

Whether it's the beauty in the near distance or the beauty in the distance, it is incredibly beautiful in this lively night.

The night breeze was blowing, and the skirts of the girls were raised and fell, falling and rising. The young man's tone was marked with obvious teasing: "Princess, the first thing you did when you stepped into the adult world was to climb a tree?" ”

The girl's gaze fell on his face, it was late at night, but the look in her eyes was brighter than fireworks. She stared at him steadily, her hands firmly propped on the branches, her lips curled into answers.

The young man held out a hand to her: "It's late, come down quickly." ”

Rika stared at his hand, the night was blank, she couldn't see clearly, but she clearly knew how the hand was knuckled and veined.

Seeing that she was indifferent, the young man said, "The coming-of-age ceremony will start early in the morning, don't play it." ”

Rika tilted her head and thought about it, and finally made a move. With his hands spread out into a large embrace, he suddenly jumped down from the tree.

The branches swayed gently, and leaves fell with her.

"You're really ......," the young man's words were full of helplessness, "It's too messy." The girl in his arms wrapped tightly around his neck, "Hehehehe~" smiled happily.

"I know you're down there." She smirked.

"What if I don't?"

"Then you're dead~"

The young man let go of her very naturally and said, "All right, go back to the room." I'm going to find Miike-san too. ”

Rika stopped a moment before entering the house and turned around, "Kakashi, I'll be just like you from today onwards. ”

Seeing her such a serious appearance, the young man couldn't help but laugh, and bent his signature crescent eyes: "Yes, yes, give me a lot of advice." ”

Rika couldn't help but smile and stepped into the house.

When Miike, the head of the Daimyo Mansion's guard, saw Kakashi, the last of the fireworks in the sky had just disappeared. "You're late, Kakashi." Miike held his saber and squinted at him.

"Ah, sorry, sorry." The silver-haired ninja raised his hand and made an insincere apology, and said in a lazy tone, "Because I met a kitten climbing a tree on the road, I rescued it." ”

"A kitten climbing a tree?" The young guard beside Miike innocently asked, "Is it the tiger of Mrs. Shijimi?" ”

Michi, who has been familiar with a certain first technician for more than ten years, slapped his hand on his subordinate's head: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this person is late, and he comes and goes with those few excuses." ”

The silver-haired ninja glared innocently at the dead fish's eyes, "What I said is true." ”

Miike rolled his eyes and skipped the pointless topic to discuss with him the security arrangements for the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony.

***

Rika slept for less than five hours before being pulled out of the bed by Shijimi and Ryoko and pressed in front of the mirror to be dressed up by the maids. The whole room was filled with Shijimi's chatter.

The new little maid was urged by her seniors, and accidentally knocked over the bottles and cans on the stage in a hurry, and she was suddenly frightened, and she didn't know what to do. Liangzi was about to reprimand, but Rika spoke one step ahead of her: "What's the hurry, isn't it just a coming-of-age ceremony, take your time." As he spoke, he yawned sleepily.

Ryoko was really afraid that her princess would fall asleep at the coming-of-age ceremony.

Daimyo and Shijimi attach great importance to this coming-of-age ceremony, but Rika is not, she has always been less enthusiastic about festivals and celebrations than her father. However, Rika is still very concerned about becoming an adult from today. Although, in the words of her brother Xiudeok, she is still far from being an adult who can take charge of herself. However, Rika has always been her brother's words.

What does it mean to be an adult? Rika doesn't know too well. Because she believed that no matter how old she was, the way her father and mother treated her would not change. Never change.

As for getting married, having children, and these things, girls should be on the agenda when they reach the age of sixteen. Most of the princesses of various countries are also early in life. Wife is a mother, and even the princess Tsurumi of the country of flowers, who is so tall and pretentious, ushered in the birth of her first son last year.

Lixiang, the princess of the land of fire, is twenty this year, and still has no intention of talking about marriage.

Rika doesn't have the same sense of responsibility as her brother. She always thought it was very, very strange for her brother to choose the right partner in order to get married. In her understanding, it must be because she met someone she wanted to spend her life with, so she had the idea of getting married.

Forget it, when she got married and who she married has always been a topic of concern for her subjects. Although-- what does this concern them?

Xiude also mentioned this matter to his parents, and he was moved with affection, understood with reason, and his words were chiseled, and every word was fine. The daimyo said, "When you got married, we didn't interfere with you, and naturally we won't interfere with Rika." ”

Shijimi teased Huzi and said, "Xiude, even if you are usually busy giving birth to a son, you still have to worry about Rika's marriage, so tired and careful to age quickly." ”

Xiude was by this pair of parents who never played cards according to common sense.

At that time, Lanzi glanced at her husband, and then at her father-in-law and mother-in-law in a high position, bowed her head and said nothing, her face was smooth. According to what she has observed in the past few years, there is anything that is very different from what she imagined, and it is that it is unexpectedly human
