12. Don't guess what a girl thinks
Ape Fei Hi Chop has been a little busy lately. γγThe youngest son Asma doesn't know if he refuses to go home because of the rebellious counterattack, and originally expected Asma and Sunset Red to quickly close the skylight and give him a good granddaughter in the next year, then his left hand Konoha Pill and right hand little granddaughter will be born. It's just that Asma's return date seems to be far away, what if such a beautiful woman and daughter-in-law are pried away!
In terms of character and strength, there are not many single male ninjas of Asma's age in the village, and the two most outstanding among them are the First Technician and the Blue Beast. Akai is definitely a natural nerd when it comes to romance, don't worry, as for Kakashi...... Hehe, he doesn't have time to take care of himself, and he doesn't have to worry.
Ape Feiri took a puff of cigarette, and the white smoke drifted out of the window, feeling that it was not easy to be a good father.
The power of attorney of the princess of the country of flowers is spread out on the table, and Sarutobi is considering a suitable escort candidate. If it was a normal day, as long as Kakashi was free, this A-rank mission to protect special people would generally be thrown to him. It's not that other Shangren can't do it, but the first technician has a mature and stable personality, and he is sleek and decent, and he has a good set of dealing with such high-ranking officials and nobles with different temperaments, and it is natural to complete the task easily.
Calculating the days, Kakashi has been trapped in the village for more than a month, and he is idle except for eating, drinking and having fun with Princess Rika on weekdays, and he must be desperate to go out and breathe fresh air. Although they are both princesses, I heard that the princess of the country of flowers is gentle and considerate, not as delicate and difficult as Lixiang. The most important thing is that Kakashi had met the princess of the Flower Country before, and people didn't fall in love with him at first sight and didn't want to raise him like a pet!
Do you want to save your beloved subordinates from the dire situation? The pipe in Ape Feiri's hand tapped on the table, and he sighed.
Koharu threw a warning look at him: "Don't think about Kakashi, we princesses of the Fire Country can't take care of them, how can we have time to deal with the princesses of other countries!" β
Ape Fei Ri slashed "hehe" laughed twice, and finally finalized the candidate to go to the country of flowers to be responsible for the escort - Akai, Red Bean, Kamizuki Izumo, and Gangzi Iron.
Akai was extremely excited to receive this task, and before leaving, he specially blocked the first technician in the middle of the street, and pointed at him with one hand on his waist and the other at him impassionedly: "Kakashi, I will never lose to you!" If I can't make the princess of the country of flowers fall in love with me at first sight, I'll walk 1oo laps upside down around Konoha in a handstand! β
The first technician is not surprised: "I have set strange rules again......"
Azuki, Kazuki Izumo, and Gangko Tetsu were discussing with great interest how to make the princess of the country of flowers fall in love with Akai at first sight, with a look of eagerness to try.
Seeing this, Kakashi wanted to remind them - you're on a mission, not for fun, hey!
Rika knows the princess of the country of flowers. In times of peace, the countries were on good terms, and various tea parties and dances were often held between the families of the daimyos, inviting the wives, princes, princesses, and wives of important ministers from other countries to gather together to relieve their boredom.
Speaking of which, the princess of the country of flowers is a very likable and lovely person, but unfortunately she doesn't like Lixiang very much.
It is a common practice for ninjas to gather reliable information before carrying out a mission, and Azuki asked, "Kakashisan, what kind of person is that princess of the Flower Country?" β
Kakashi touched his chin and groaned, "I've only seen her twice, and I don't know who she is." But she looks like a well-read princess. β
Hongdou and the others were dumbfounded, shouting in their hearts - they actually dared to mock her in front of Princess Rika that she was not as good as the princesses of other countries "knowing books and etiquette", Kakashi-san was so heroic!
Wronged, Kakashi actually didn't mean this at all!
The first technician was suddenly stared at by three pairs of eyes that flashed with worship, and the dead fish's eyes became more and more unfocused, and he asked puzzledly, "What is your expression?" β
The three of them glanced at Lixiang next to him, shook their heads in unison and said in unison, "No!" β
"Are you talking about that guy Tsurumi?" Rika interjected. Fortunately, she was thin-minded and didn't misinterpret the words of the first technician like the three of them.
"The princess knows?" Kazuki Izumo and Gangzitetsu asked, and as soon as the words came out, they looked at each other and smiled, the country of flowers and the country of fire are allies, and it is common for the family members of the daimyo to know each other.
Azuki also thought of this, and asked Rika again what he had asked Kakashi.
What kind of person is the princess of the country of flowers--this question is so easy for Rika to answer.
Without thinking about it, Rika blurted out: "It's a fake and hypocritical guy." β
ββDo you say that others are fake and delicate if you are not graceful yourself?
Even if they had such thoughts, the ninjas did not dare to say it.
Kakashi squinted at her suspiciously, "...... I don't think so. β
Rika sneered: "She obviously hates me very much, but she always pretends to be kind and friendly to me, and she is disgusted." β
First Technician: "That's politeness, isn't it?" β
"It's hypocrisy!"
The Land of Flowers is a small country adjacent to the Land of Fire, although it is a good place for birds and flowers, but natural resources are scarce, and there is no ninja village of its own, so it depends on the allied Fire Country for help in many aspects. The princess of such a country naturally didn't dare to show her face to Rika.
Although she is the same princess of a country, in terms of identity and status, Tsurumi is far from being comparable to Rika.
Kakashi felt that the princess of the Land of Flowers was not easy.
Ten days later, Red Bean, Izumo Kamizuki, and Gangzitetsu returned from their mission, and Sunset Red curiously asked why he didn't see Akai. Red Bean grinned and pointed behind him, only to see a figure in the distance slowly walking towards this side, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Akai walking upside down.
"How many laps are they?" Red beans asked Gangzi Iron.
"Lap 11."
Mao Yue Xiyan was a little unbearable: "Senior Kai really wants to walk upside down around Konoha for 1oo laps?" β
Akai gasped slightly, but his tone was firm: "Since I lost, I will definitely abide by the agreement with Kakashi!" β
The first technician gave him a disregarded look from the little yellow book: "I'm talking to myself again." β
- Kakashi didn't take your agreement seriously at all, okay?
Even if the other ninjas knew this, they knew very well that Akai would not listen to them, so they simply did not persuade them.
Gangko Tetsu and Kazuki Izumo are regretting that the princess of the country of flowers doesn't like men like Akai, and Sunset Red comforts them with a smile: "Not all princesses like ninjas." β
Kakashido hopes that the princess of the Land of Fire doesn't like ninjas either (vv)
Tsurumi doesn't look down on Akai, and Rika is not surprised. In Lixiang's mind, Tsuru sees people with a three-point smile on his face, but in fact, his temperament is very high, and he will only look at those so-called talents who are full of songs and paintings and show off their literary talents.
Rika wanted to make fun of Akai for not having the slightest talent, but after thinking about it, she felt that she still hated Tsurumi more, so she said to Akai seriously: "It's that guy who has no eyes." β
Akai was stunned for a moment, hearing such a sympathy for him for the first time, and regardless of the truth or falsehood of the words, he was suddenly moved to tears: "The princess is really a good girl with a kind heart!" In the future, if Kakashi fails you, I will definitely let him taste the power of my self-created Konoha Whirlwind Legs! β
The ninjas silently said that Akai is really easy to coax!
The so-called flying misfortune is nothing more than thatβthe first technician's left eyelid jumps with joy.
***
Time flies like a meteor in the blink of an eye.
Rika loves Kakashi's 89th day, which has just entered early autumn, and the autumn is crisp and cloudless. Kakashi accompanies Rika to eat three-color balls in the shop, and there are only the two of them in the spacious hall, so they don't have to face the gossip of the other villagers. In fact, it didn't matter if there were other villagers around, and in the past two months, Kakashi had become accustomed to the teasing but non-malicious gaze of others. And Lixiang, whether she is generous or thick-skinned, never cares about other people's eyes.
The girl held her chin in one hand, and the look on her face was serious, and she didn't pay attention to the balls on the plate in front of her, and just stared intently at the young man beside her.
Kakashi wasn't embarrassed anymore and let her look at it generously. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw her hand suddenly stretched out, so he reflexively raised his hand to grab her wrist, looking like he was waiting for her: "What's wrong?" β
Rika's big eyes didn't blink, and she said in a rather innocent tone, "You have ketchup on your mask." β
Kakashi remembered the incident with the last goldfish feed, and he couldn't help but feel that he had overreacted a little, maybe Rika didn't mean anything else. ββIt's all to blame that Rika suddenly scratched his chin like a cat, and the shadow left on him was too heavy and unforgettable!!
The silver-haired young man let go of the girl's hand and touched his maskβthere was no ketchup. After a slight distraction, a white and slender hand reached straight over and tore off his mask without tenderness. Then I heard Rika say mockingly: "You didn't eat three-color balls, how can you get tomato sauce on your mask, you believe it!" β
Kakashi: "......"
I really want to throw her back to the Daimyo's Mansion with a ninjutsu, okay!
The first technician felt that during this period of staying by Rika's side, his IQ had dropped more than a little.
Rika stared at him for a reason this time. She was tired of staying in Konoha and couldn't even remember what she liked about Kakashi in the first place so she insisted on running to Konoha in the first place. Rika, who is bored now, can't figure out what the man in front of her is so fascinated by at the time.
Although he has an extremely delicate and handsome face, Rika has seen more than one young man who is more handsome than him.
What was it that made her obsessed 89 days ago?
Rika frowned, meditating hard but couldn't understand.
Kakashi's face was not very good because he was deceived and ridiculed, and his mask was rudely pulled: "It seems that the princess's etiquette lesson is going to be relearned." β
Rika didn't think so, and said with a white look: "You are a big man, but you just tear off your mask, how can you react like you were being stripped naked?" β
The maid Ryoko lifted the curtain of the Maruko shop and walked in, and when she heard Rika say this, she couldn't help but secretly think that her princess had been mingling with the commoners of Konoha for too long, and her speech was becoming more and more vulgar, regardless of her identity, and she would definitely be scolded by her brother when she went back.
Rika no longer had the heart to eat meatballs, and told Ryoko to go back to Hinata's house to pack up her things and go back to the Daimyo's Mansion tomorrow.
Kakashi instantly perked up and didn't bother with her about what happened just now: "Really? β
Seeing that his attitude changed a little quickly, Rika tilted her head and asked, "Are you reluctant to let me go?" β
Kakashi showed a smile that kept the moon open, "Princess, have a good trip. β
When Rika told the Hokage that she was leaving the next day, Sarutobi said with a smile, "Let Kakashi escort the princess back." β
A chill ran down the first technician's spine, and the dead fish's eyes glanced at the Hokage with resentment.
Who knew that Rika waved her hand impatiently: "No need, I see him every day, it's so annoying." β
This disgusted tone made Kakashi cry and laugh - no wonder Jiraiya adults often say, don't guess what girls think.
Sure enough, no matter what Rika loves, it won't last more than three months.
Rika didn't need a ninja escort, and Kakashi left the village that night on a mission. Early the next morning, Rika took her twenty or so maids and guards back to the Daimyo's Mansion. Mighty Eight. After the nine carriages stepped out of the gate of Konoha Village, this ninja village returned to its former peace.
Hinata was in class at the ninja school, and Iruka-sensei's voice was so familiar that she couldn't help but walk for a while, thinking about what the princess said to her last night - as the eldest lady, the most important thing is not strength, but momentum!
Forgetting that he was in class for a moment, Hinata bit her lower lip and shook her head to herself - a person without strength will not be recognized by anyone.
In the Hokage's office, Koharu asked the two old partners, "Listening to the princess's tone, she won't come to Konoha again, right?" β
Mito Menyan pushed his glasses: "She's not interested in Kakashi anymore, she shouldn't come back." β
Koharu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ape Fei Ri slashed and said, "It's not a bad thing for the princess to come to Konoha. β
- At least with her pestering, Kakashi had to have a lot less time to blame himself and repent in front of the memorial monument.
Zhuan Koharu glared at him: "Soon it will be the day when the Daimyo Mansion allocates the financial funds to Konoha, you Hokage need to pay more attention to everything, don't let the Daimyo and the ministers see jokes!" β
A ninja came to report the results of the mission to the Hokage, and the two Konoha advisors said that they would also go back to deal with things.
Until dusk, the sunset was still dragging the tail of the day, and a carriage rushed into Konoha from outside the village and headed straight for the Hokage Tower. The ninja stationed at the gate of the village hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and he didn't know what the person in the carriage said to him, so he ran to the Hokage's office together.
Ape Fei Ri saw that the office door was slammed open in a hurry, and a young woman fell to her knees in front of the desk with a "bang". He recognized it as Princess Rika's personal maid, but before he could ask, the girl shouted with a look of horror on her face, "Hokage-sama! No, no, Rika-sama, Rika-sama has been kidnapped! β
