When the luxurious carriage of the Daimyo Mansion arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village, the dew on the plants had just disappeared into the sunlight.

"Stop."

The ninja on duty conducts a routine inspection, and the coachman shows the token of the Daimyo's Mansion, and no one dares to stop him. Just as the coachman was about to drive the horse forward, the curtain of the beautifully crafted carriage was suddenly lifted from the inside, and a girl with a beautiful face stepped out of the car, and someone in the car could faintly be heard exclaiming: "Ah, what is Lord Lixiang doing?" ”

The young ninjas saluted on one knee.

Rika gathered her wide kimono sleeves and looked up at the Hokage Rock in the distance, and then her eyes turned around, and the corners of her lips curved: "There is no change." As she spoke, the two maids also got out of the car and stood squarely behind her.

A young ninja raised his head slightly and replied, "Princess, the changes in Konoha are not superficially reflected in the eyes, but deeply in the heart. When you stay for a while, you will feel it. ”

Hearing this, Rika laughed out loud: "Your literary literacy has grown a lot, Swift Wind-kun." As a princess of a country who is often disliked by her brother and has little culture, she really dares to say others. However, Xiude and other family members have very different definitions of the word culture, so there is no need to delve into it.

Genma, who was beside the wind, couldn't help but tease: "Alas, who told him to listen to Kakashi-san's words that learned men are more popular with girls, so he forgot to sleep and eat and studied hard." ”

Moonlight Brushing looked convinced: "Isn't this the secret of Kakashi-san's re-election as Konoha's No. 1 dream lover for several years?" Then he asked, "Isn't it because the princess likes Kakashi-san because he is very knowledgeable?" ”

Genma looked at him with stupid eyes, thinking that although a certain elite shinobi was thick-skinned enough, he would not make a joke about Princess Rika when he was killed, and it must have fooled this stupid boy when the third generation was bored.

Tsk, he has only been on a mission with Akai for half a month, and the wind has already shown signs of IQ moving closer to him. - Genma is suddenly glad that he has been teaming up with a bad genius recently.

"Knowledgeable? Kakashi? Lixiang thought about it very seriously, and the silver-haired young man who came to her mind did not leave the book all day long, but the knowledge and connotation in the book still need to be studied...... Unable to think of a reason, she simply replied casually: "Well, yes." With that, he lifted his skirt and stepped into the car, followed by the maid.

Tempest nodded even more convictedly, and said to himself, "Sure enough! ”

Genma bit the thousand books in his mouth, for fear that he would become stupid if he stayed with a stupid person for a long time, should he ask the three generations to change partners tomorrow?

Da, da, da-

The extravagant carriage drove into Konoha Village, and passers-by stopped curiously to look back, and for a while, the sound of gossip and discussion wafted over the street.

This is the second time that Princess Rika has visited.

It's been five years since she last arrived.

***

Hinata Hinata and her sister Hanabi stood straight beside her father, her big eyes looking at the road in the distance, her fingers unconsciously clutching the corners of her clothes, and she was a little nervous.

The morning sun was rising, and the early spring sun was like a golden mist on everyone, and although they had been waiting for a while, my father's figure remained motionless.

"Sister, who are we waiting for here?" Her sister, who was five years younger than her, asked innocently and puzzled.

Hinata patted her sister's head and smiled soothingly, "We're greeting the princess." Remembering that Hanabi was not old enough to remember five years ago, he added, "Princess...... He's a good guy. ”

Behind the patriarch's family, Tokuma, who was standing at the head of the clansmen, finally couldn't help but correct the three views of the eldest lady of his family - where did the eldest lady come to the conclusion that the domineering, willful, squeamish, extravagant and unreasonable princess is a good person?!

- Alas, forget it, in the eyes of Miss Hinata-sama, probably everyone is a good person.

Thinking that the princess didn't know how long she would be domineering in Hinata's house, Tokuma suddenly wanted to cry without tears. However, today's Konoha is the only big family that can take on the responsibility of receiving the princess of a country. Of course, the Ape Fei family also has this ability, but the three generations will not make trouble for their own ㄟ ( ̄) ̄) ↗ ginger is still old and spicy.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer, and the dust raised high on the road ahead could already be seen. Hinata Hinatashi reminded the people to cheer up.

Hanabi's little hand holds her sister's hand. Feeling the thin sweat in her sister's palm, she raised her head, only to see her sister staring intently ahead, with a shallow warm smile on the corner of her mouth. My sister seems to be really happy about the arrival of this princess.

The person my sister likes must be a good person! - Hanabi thought innocently and firmly.

The carriage finally stopped, and Hinata Hinata led the people to salute, and Hanabi caught a glimpse of a colorful and gorgeous skirt a second before she lowered her head. She couldn't help but quietly raise her eyes, and then she was full of amazement - there was no place in her body that was not exquisite and impeccable, it turned out that this was the princess. In such a big country of fire, only this person can have this glory.

Rika's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped at the two little girls.

"The eldest daughter Hinata, the younger daughter Hanabi." It's been a long time, and I don't think she remembers, Hinata Hinata Hinata introduced. It's exactly the same words as five years ago.

This time, however, something is different.

"Princess, princess...... Good day. It was a very soft voice, but it was still loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. The girl with dark blue bangs lowered her head slightly, her face was red, and she could see that she was a little nervous, a little nervous, and a little shy, but she had the courage to take the initiative to say hello.

This time, she finally didn't hide behind her father timidly.

"Good day, Princess." A crisp and immature voice followed, and unlike her sister, who was easily shy, Hanabi raised her face and showed a bright smile.

Rika bent the corners of her lips and flicked Hinata coldly: "Last time, you were only as tall as Hanabi." ”

Hinata covered her forehead, which was not painful, with one hand, looked at her in a daze, and responded a little overwhelmed: "...... Be. ”

Instead, Ryoko smiled, "Rika-sama has grown up, so of course Miss Hinata will grow up too." ”

Yes, five years is so short and so long for a girl's growth. It was so short that time flew by in the blink of an eye, and it was like yesterday; But it's long enough to meet a lot of people, a lot of things happen, and a lot of memories.

"Let's go inside." Still no half point. As a guest, she didn't wait for the host to say please, and she stepped straight into the door of Hinata's house. Immediately afterwards, a sentence floated in: "In the coming days, I'll trouble you, Hinata-kun." ”

This sentence made Hinata Tokuma's jaw drop.

Hinata Hinata still didn't change his face: "Yes, if the princess has something, please do not hesitate to command." ”

***

“…… She actually said humble words! Is the sun coming out of the west?! ”

The spacious bath was misty with mist, and a male voice echoed in astonishment.

The silver-haired young man closed his eyes, comfortably leaned against the pool wall to take a bath, and answered indifferently: "Who? ”

"O princess!" The speaker was a young man with white eyes, and his expression was solemn and urgent, as if he had discovered something terrible.

It's a pity that the silver-haired young man was indifferent and responded very perfunctorily: "Oh." ”

"Kakashisan! Has the princess's temperament changed dramatically when she was stimulated? The white-eyed young man was dissatisfied with his reaction so calmly, and came over as if to get to the bottom of it.

"No, I don't." The lazy tone is ignored.

"Kakashi-san......"

"Tokuma-kun," forcibly interrupted, and the silver-haired young man opened his eyes, "Isn't there a family gathering in the Hyuga clan, you're going to be late." ”

"Oh, oops!" Tokuma exclaimed, and immediately jumped out of the bath, and rushed towards the door while getting dressed. Nearly bumped into a guy at the entrance, "Sorry! I'm in a hurry...... Space. The last syllable dissipated into the air, and he froze in the doorway with horror on his face.

"Is there anyone else in there?" Ignoring his strange appearance, the visitor asked in a very natural tone.

Tokuma's mind went blank and he could only answer mechanically: "Only Kakashi-san is in it......"

The visitor nodded, waved his hand to signal that he could go, and then walked briskly towards the bath in a good mood.

Tokuma walked to the front hall in a trance, staring back at the male sign hanging at the entrance of the bath, and for a moment he couldn't react.

In the front hall, the proprietress who is over half a hundred years old is humming a popular song more than 20 years ago, happily settling accounts.

"Obasan, just ...... Did someone walk in? Tokuma asked, pointing in the direction of the entrance to the men's bath.

The proprietress looked up at him, then lowered her head and continued to look at the account book: "Tokuma-kun, are you in a bath?" ”

Tokuma touched his forehead before he had time to put on the ninja forehead guard, and the palm of his hand was hot, and his brain was like a rusty gear, and he couldn't turn around: "Lord God, am I hallucinating......"

Inside the bath, it was so silent that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

The silver-haired young man who finally settled down was motionless and drowsy, and it was a great joy in life to take a bath quietly on a steep spring afternoon.

The young man took off his mask, sank his face into the water, and spat out a string of bubbles like a fish. When he lifted his face again, he let out a comfortable sigh. However, his comfort did not last long, and came to an abrupt end when his left eyelid began to throb violently.

"What's going on...... "The young man stroked his left eyelid, "and suddenly he had a sense of foreboding. ”

There was a sound of very light footsteps from far and near, and the ninja's keen sense could immediately tell that the person who came did not deliberately light his steps, that person must be as light as a swallow, and had a pair of small feet.

The left eyelid jumped faster and faster, as if in the rising and falling tide.

"Hey, what's that unsettling premonition?" The young man muttered to himself.

"What?"

A familiar voice sounded behind the young man, rippling in the misty bath like a soft whisper.

The young man's body suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head rather hesitantly.

The slender figure of the girl was reflected in the dense water vapor, and the big eyes that were always as bright as the stars showed an absolutely ill-intentioned smile at this moment. She walked very close to him, crouched down lightly, and looked directly at him, with a smug look in her eyebrows: "What kind of disturbing premonition do you say? ”

The young man only felt that his sixth sense was really accurate enough to buy a lottery ticket.

"Princess, this is the men's bath, you must have gone wrong, right?"
