Kakashi has been a bit laid-back lately, and he hasn't taken a step out of Konoha Village for more than two months, which really doesn't fit his image of a "single dog who travels around the world and works hard".

Of course, it's not to accompany Princess Rika who is staying idle and staying for a long time in the Konoha Palace - even if the world is peaceful, as the first technician of the Ninja Village, he can't be idle like this.

So, there was a valid reason why Kakashi had little leisure to stay in the village during this time - he was a mentor again.

It's a bit cruel to say.,In the past, he served as a guide to the upper ninja.,But because it's too harsh in the lower ninja assessment.,All the graduates assigned to his name were returned to the ninja school and rebuilt.。 Therefore, the incense in the temple is always very strong during the graduation season, and a considerable number of students come to the temple to pray for blessings with the expectations of their families and parents - hoping not to be assigned to the first technician group.

But this year is different!

I don't know if it was the Kami-sama who finally couldn't stand it anymore, or if the first technician was in a particularly good mood that day, in short, the three graduates who were assigned to the Kakashi group this year actually passed the Shinobi assessment.

Kakashi, who has been boasting by Akai since last year, "I have cute students you don't have", has officially embarked on the road of no return as a teacher.

"Found it! Over there! ”

"Naruto, you idiot! It's going to scare it away so loudly! ”

"Hmph, I'll do it alone, you two don't get in the way."

Kakashi crouched on a tall branch and watched as the students under the tree performed the mission of "finding the daimyo lady's pet cat tiger child" while reading his little yellow book.

Huzi followed Shijimi to Konoha Village, the daimyo lady came to visit the youngest daughter on vacation (married) not long ago, and was full of praise for the princess palace that exuded a full of local tyrant atmosphere, and lived for half a month, drinking tea and chatting about life with Konoha high-level every day, until the daimyo urged and urged again and again before reluctantly driving back home - Sarufei Rizashi and the two elder advisors finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shijimi is gone, but her favorite pet cat Huko is missing in Konoha. In order to nip the idea of Mrs. Daimyo's "Oh, I'd better go to Konoha again to find Toranoko" in the embryonic stage, the Konoha higher-ups deliberated overnight and decided that the most reliable elite Shangnin would lead the students to carry out this mission.

"Kakashi, you know, how much manpower and material resources do we have to spend on Konoha every time Lady Daimyo comes." Ape Fei Ri puffed on his pipe and said earnestly, "So, this important task is entrusted to you. ”

The first technician pulled the dead fish eye and received the task scroll, and pressed the complaint that "obviously the high-level people don't want to work hard to eat, drink and laugh together" from the bottom of his heart.

Hawkers, anyway, those three little ghosts still lack a lot of exercise from being able to take on more difficult tasks, so they should be considered to be practicing.

"Meow ——!!"

"Kakashi-sensei! We've got it! ”

With a terrible cat meow and Naruto's cheers, Torako, who resembled the owner, was firmly suppressed by Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, and after struggling to no avail, Kakashi was easily picked up by Kakashi, who jumped off the branch.

Kakashi looked at the students who were covered in mud and grass clippings on their bodies and hair, especially Naruto's face, which had a claw mark that had been scratched by the tiger, and couldn't help but bend his crescent eyes, "Okay, mission accomplished, let's go and return to its original owner." ”

The four of them walked out of the grove on the outskirts of the village, the tall silver-haired young man walked in front with a pet cat in one hand and a pet cat in the other, and the three little tails in the back walked while carrying out the daily and bickering series, and the afternoon sun sprinkled on the four hair colors of silver, gold, pink and black, so it looked like a happy picture.

After a short time, I walked to the palace, which has now become a famous tourist attraction in Konoha, and happened to meet Princess Rika who was about to go out. With a red dress and gold ornaments, this princess is really dressed at all times to symbolize the coveted treasury of the Fire Country, as if she is afraid that others will not know how rich the Daimyo's Mansion is. Fortunately, she is beautiful, and she doesn't love to wear heavy makeup like her mother Shijimi, fortunately.

Kakashi lifted Torako in front of her, "Oh, your cat." ”

Huzi also "meow~" at her accordingly.

Rika took Torako into her arms with both hands, her eyes swept over Naruto and Sakura, who were staring at her curiously, and Sasuke, who was impatient, and finally landed on the face of the young man in front of her, revealing a not very sincere smile: "Thank you, Momaki must be very happy." ”

For no apparent reason, Kakashi felt the smile make his left eyelid start jumping again.

"I say," Naruto grinned, "Sister Princess, keep an eye on your pets!" As soon as the words fell, Sakura stomped on her feet, screaming and jumping in place holding the stepped foot.

"Why did you step on me, Sakura-chan?" There was a little grievance in the big blue eyes of the lake, if Sasuke stepped on it, he would definitely be furious.

Sakura glared at him angrily and said, "Is it polite to call it "princess sister", you want to call "princess lady"!" He immediately saluted Rika very standardly, and said in a gentle and gentle voice peculiar to a girl, "Good day, Princess, it's great to be able to retrieve your precious pet." ”

Ryoko, who was following Rika's side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

Probably deeply influenced by fairy tales, even in Konoha Village, which is proud of ninjas, young girls always have a mysterious longing for the identity of "princess".

Rika smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Is it called Sakura?" You kid, you're so sensible. ”

Sakura, who was appreciated for the first time by a member of the most noble family in the Land of Fire, was so happy that Sasuke confessed to her.

Kakashi always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't think of it after thinking about it, so he had to give up: "Then let's go and report to the third generation." As he spoke, he waved goodbye to Rika and led the students towards the Hokage Building.

Before parting, Sakura bowed carefully and said, "Goodbye, princess." After walking some distance, Kakashi said meaninglessly, "Sakura-chan, you're still too young." ”

Still immersed in the joy of "being praised by the only princess of the land of fire", the little girl Sakura Haruno, who is full of joy, does not care at all about her teacher's motto.

After the four of them left, Ryoko asked, "Lord Rika, do you want to send someone to send Torako back to the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

Rika glanced at her, blinked, squatted down slowly, and then let go of her hands—the pet cat Huzi immediately ran away without a trace.

"Oh, the tiger is gone, let the guards go and entrust the Hokage with a task." Rika said with a smile.

Ryoko took the order in amusement.

On the second floor of a barbecue restaurant not far from the palace, unlike the teacher Asma and teammates Ding Ji and Ino who were busy grabbing meat to eat, Nara Shikamaru, who had been looking out the window, looked at the blue sky and white clouds boredly, and said to himself a little happily: "Fortunately, I'm not from the seventh class, and I'm in trouble." ”

"Shikamaru, if you are in a daze, we will finish eating!" Asma kindly called him.

Shikamaru turned his gaze back to the room and said in his usual unmotivated tone, "Asma-sensei, except for Mr. Hong, fortunately you don't have any peach blossom luck. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Asma was instantly choked by the barbecue.

In the evening of the same day, Naruto's indignant wail suddenly sounded on the street: "Why is there another mission to find the pet cat of the Daimyo Lady!! ”

A row of crows flew through the air, "ahoaho-" chirping.

***

I don't know how many times I have carried out the mission of "Finding the Pet Cat Tiger of the Daimyo Lady", and the seventh class finally ushered in a day off. Regardless of the distorted thoughts of the juniors such as "Naruto wants to meet Sakura by chance, Sakura wants to meet Sasuke", as the first technician of the elders, he got up early to go to the training ground to practice as always, then went to the memorial monument to talk to his old friends, and then went back to the dormitory to take a cold shower and prepare to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Everything is going in order – weird!

As soon as the door of the dormitory opened, the girl's delicate smile in luxurious makeup came into view, and she didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with standing in front of the young man's door, and greeted him naturally: "Morning." ”

Kakashi looked at her impeccable outfit and asked with a little curiosity, "Princess, how early did you get up and get dressed?" ”

Rika tilted her head and thought for a while: "Hmm...... Probably started by asking the bookstore owner if he had the latest issue of "Intimacy Paradise". ”

Kakashi: "...... You hear it all. He had forgotten that the bookstore was across the street from the palace.

Rika waved her hand and took his arm and walked downstairs: "I'm so hungry, go and have breakfast." It's rare for you to rest today, so I'll take you for a walk in Konoha. ”

Dead Fish Eye Glance: "...... It's not good, after all, I'm a native of Konoha village. "What's "take him around Konoha"? Who is the guest from afar?

A certain first lady, who did not consciously take the lead in the slightest, said disapprehantly: "You don't have to worry about such a trivial matter." ”

The first technician who can speak well was suddenly speechless - Okay, okay, you are the princess, you have the final say.

As she walked the last staircase, Rika stopped, let go of his arm, and held her palm towards him.

The first technician looked down at the white and slender hand: "What are you doing?" ”

Rika's eyes brightly raised the corners of her lips: "Hand." ”

Dead Fish eyes stared at her helplessly, with a slightly unnatural expression: "Are you a child, and you have to hold an adult's hand when you walk?" As he spoke, he kept his hands in his pockets, refusing to pull them out.

Rika Nunu mouthed, went straight over and pulled his left hand out of his pocket, and put it in his right hand to hold it. His palms were thin and slender, with a thick layer of calluses, but they were surprisingly comfortable to hold.

The young man was really uncomfortable, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but unfortunately the more she struggled, the tighter the girl clenched: "Princess, there are many people watching on the street, pay attention to the image." ”

Rika rolled her eyes: "In the past few years, you and I have been full of scandals, what kind of image do you have." ”

“…… I don't think we can afford to give up on ourselves like that. ”

"What's the matter, just take it, stingy ghost, hum."

“…… Who's stingy. ”

"Kakashi Hachiki."

……

……

Leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking at the sunset red and red beans who were gradually moving away, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"I must find a boyfriend who will let me hold his hand in the future!" Red beans clenched their fists to cheer themselves up.

Sunset Hong smiled as a passer-by: "The requirements are too low, you should find a boyfriend who is willing to take the initiative to hold your hand." ”

"Click-" A door next to it was opened from the inside out, and the bearded young man yawned and walked out: "Morning. As he spoke, he took Sunset Red's hand and walked towards the staircase: "I've had breakfast." Sunset Red turned back to Red Bean and showed a smile of surprise and apology.

Red Bean, a single dog who was abused one after another early in the morning, said that only meatballs and red bean soup could soothe her injured little heart.
