The comers are not good. 『』

Rika didn't know what was going on, so someone started to fight Kakashi. In the confrontation between high-level ninjas, ordinary people like Rika could only see a few figures staggered, separated, staggered, and separated at an extremely fast speed, and after a while, they were dazzled.

The strength of the person who came was not bad, Kakashi was not easy with one enemy and three enemies, plus there was a big concern about Rika next to him, and after a few rounds, he did not have the upper hand.

- How long will it take to stalemate if this continues? Kakashi glanced at the three enemy shinobi and decided to make a quick decision, raising his hand to pull up the forehead guard covering his left eye.

Three-hook jade writing wheel eye.

Whether it's a copy ninja or a writing wheel eye Kakashi, these famous titles are inseparable from this eye.

Obito's last gift.

Rika saw his writing wheel eyes for the first time, and was so shocked that she stood there staring at him intently. The enemy almost burned to her feet, but Kakashi jumped away with her in her arms.

"Don't be in a daze at this time." The silver-haired ninja said.

Rika frowned, opened her mouth, and finally closed it again without saying anything. - Apparently she also felt that now was not the time for small talk.

The three magatama rotate at high speed.

Kakashi looked at the enemy shinobi.

His eyes were as red as blood.

The rest was much simpler, the Uchiha clan's proudest Sharingan really helped, and the silver-haired ninja suppressed the enemy with absolute superiority in a short time. The leader of the three enemy ninja cursed "hateful" in a low voice, covered the bleeding wound on his chest that was stabbed by Kunai, and retreated with his subordinates.

With Rika by his side, Kakashi didn't catch up.

As if they had suddenly appeared before, the ninjas from other villages who attacked them (the first technician of Konoha to be exact) disappeared into the woods in an instant.

Rika had a lot of questions for Kakashi - about the menacing ninja just now, about that strange eye...... And when exactly will they be able to return to the Daimyo's Mansion.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the silver-haired young man's steps forward were a little vain, and then before she could speak, the young man fell to the ground with a "bang" like a stone sculpture that had collapsed suddenly.

Suddenly, Rika's eyes widened in shock.

***

Since the beginning of September last year, Kakashi has not had a day of peace. First, he went to the country of rainbows on a mission, and after returning to Konoha he searched for Rika non-stop, from the southern town to the northernmost Kitano Castle, almost across the entire land of fire. I finally found someone, but on the way back, I encountered a whirlpool and tossed in the surging river for most of the night. And then today I bumped into the enemy ninja who was looking for revenge, and the other party was many and not weak, but Kakashi was thinking about putting the safety of Princess Rika first, so he used the writing wheel eye.

Sharingan is supported by a large number of chakras, and Kakashi was originally a ninja who didn't have a lot of chakras. The fatigue of many days of running and the excessive consumption of chakra made the iron body unable to hold on.

Kakashi opened his eyes to an old, yellowed ceiling. The mind that was not fully awake was thinking about the ins and outs of the matter, and a voice in his ear revealed an eager surprise and shouted, "Are you awake?" ”

Kakashi's body lying on the tatami mat was still too tired to make any moves, and he only turned his head—the girl's pretty eyes were red like a poor little rabbit.

Kakashi remembered what happened.

The silver-haired ninja's first words were, "I'm fine, princess, don't cry." ”

Rika sniffed and glared at him angrily: "Don't be self-inflicted, who is crying!" ”

"Yes, yes, the tears on your face are all scratched by cats."

“…… Did you break your head in battle! ”

Kakashi's gaze swept around the room, and the place they were in was no stranger, the home of the old couple who had stayed overnight last night. I just left this morning, but I didn't expect it to come back after half a day. Kakashi wondered what excuse Rika was using this time - it must have been a robber or something, although their wolf bèi did look like they had been robbed by a robber.

There was a warm feeling on her left eye, which was not covered by her forehead, and Rika's palm was just enough to completely cover the long scar.

"Previous injuries?"

"Hmm."

Rika tilted her head and stared at him: "Does it hurt?" ”

“…… It doesn't hurt anymore. It's just that every time he sees this scar, he will be reminded of the promise that Obito entrusted to him before he died, and the poor self who failed to keep the agreement.

The wound doesn't hurt anymore, but it will never heal.

Kakashi didn't want to be seen with the strange look in his eyes, and closed his eyes slightly.

Silence spreads through the air like the rich floral scent of nightshade.

After a while, "Kakashi." Rika's voice broke the silence, "If I hadn't been by my side at the time, wouldn't you have won easily?" ”

Kakashi opened his eyes to her. The girl's face was slightly sad, her thin eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes stared straight at him as clear as a pool of spring water, and his appearance was reflected in them. ——These looks should not have appeared on her face in the first place, and she would never have shown such an expression on a normal day.

Kakashi then remembered that, despite the title of the spoiled Princess of the Fire Country, she was just an ordinary girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The silver-haired ninja immediately bent his right eye: "If I hadn't been by your side at that time, maybe I would have been eaten by wild dogs to the bones." ”

Rika couldn't help but smile.

But he immediately straightened his face and snorted: "Dogs eat bones, it's really no common sense." ”

The first technician of Konoha who has no common sense perfunctorily said yes again and again.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the old woman came in with a bowl of porridge, and with a smile fixed in the wrinkles, she said, "You are awake at last, young man. The little girl is worried about you, and she can't even eat. ”

Lixiang's fair face turned red: "...... You're too long-winded, old woman! ”

The old woman laughed.

"I'm sorry." The silver-haired youth said.

The old woman continued to Kakashi, "Anada said, your body will need to recuperate for at least half a month. Don't look at him like that, he used to be a very good doctor. Young men and little girls, you can live here in peace, and you should accompany us two poor old men and old women. ”

However, from her expression and tone, there was no indication that she thought they were poor old men and old women.

Kakashi tried to mobilize the chakra in his body - it was too reluctant. Even if it doesn't take half a month, at least for a week, he won't be able to move normally.

As a result, the trip back to the Daimyo's Mansion will be delayed again.

He looked at Rika apologetically and apologized again, "I'm sorry, we may have to wait a while before we can continue on our road." ”

Rika glared at him angrily: "Just wait, it's better than you die halfway!" ”

“…… It's not so strict that it's dead. ”

The old woman smiled and put the hot porridge in Lixiang's hand, and withdrew with a sense of humor.

Behind the door, he made a gesture of clasping his hands in front of his chest, revealing a girlish smile that did not match the age of the gray hair: "Sure enough, it eloped!" How sweet it is to flirt, it really has the style of me and Anada! ”

- It's a big misunderstanding.

A romantic and tragic elopement is something that Cassie and Rikako can only do, hey!

In the room, Kakashi reached out to pick up the bowl of porridge - he had starved to death if he had consumed too much. However, a pair of slender white hands took the porridge one step ahead of him, and the spoon stirred the hot rice porridge, and the aroma that caused the index finger to move came to the nose.

"I'll do it myself, princess."

Rika avoided his hand and held the bowl high: "Lie down, lie down, I used to feed peaches a lot, as the first human to be fed by me, be grateful." ”

- I'm treating people as pets again, right?

"Stop playing...... Not...... Ahem! A spoonful of hot porridge was stuffed into his mouth, and Kakashi choked on words. Before I could swallow it, there was another spoonful in my mouth that I couldn't wait, and I didn't know how to blow it cold before giving it to others - as a feeder, it was too bad.

Kakashi was dying: "Don't bother, let me do it myself......"

He was immediately reprimanded: "Don't move! ”

Kakashi felt that the dead kid was just trying to tease his pets and rub salt on his wounds.

It was a difficult time to finish a bowl of porridge - probably the longest and most awkward dinner the First Technician had ever had.

Rika contentedly put the empty bowl on the tatami mat beside her, and the kneeling posture looked like a girl's waist like a willow, but unfortunately the man in the room was puzzled and only cared about the ginkgo tree outside the window.

In winter, the sun sets early, and even though it is not yet completely dark, the moon and three or two stars are already hanging high in the sky.

The wind was blowing outside, whistling past the window with dead leaves.

Kakashi suddenly remembered something: "How did we get here?" ”

Rika didn't understand for a moment, and tilted her head to look at him.

"At the time, I was in that situation...... How did you get me back here? ”

- How else can I bring it? Even if you shout for help in the deserted woods, you will only attract jackals and wild dogs. Ah, if you're unlucky, you might be able to meet the enemy again.

It's okay that he didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Rika felt that her shoulder was aching again. A big man of more than 100 pounds, she gritted her teeth and insisted on carrying him for such a long distance.

Obviously, she is the noble princess of the Fire Country, why do you do such a thing! Do you know how humiliating it is to say it!!

When people are forced to do so, they never know how capable they are.

"Princess?"

Rika raised an eyebrow: "Grab your legs and drag you all the way back like a sack." ”

The first technician drooped the dead fish eyes and made a bitter face: "No......"

Li Xiang ignored his messy expression in the wind, and complained with a pout: "Lose weight quickly, you are dead!" ”

The dead fish's eyes of the first technician became more and more resentful.
