After "Finding the Pet Cat Tiger Child" and "Cleaning Up the Weeds in the Backyard Pond", while performing the mission "Repair the Garden Wooden Fence", Naruto finally couldn't help but ask, "Kakashi-sensei!" Have you offended the princess, she has so many attendants, why do you keep calling us?! In order to avoid provoking the anger of Sakura, a member of the princess's fan group, the boy also came to the silver-haired young man and lowered his voice.

The pink-haired girl who was following Sasuke on the other side of the garden suddenly glanced this way, and Naruto quickly covered his mouth in silence, probably because he used to be very bright and frank in his mischief, and at this time, the look of being a thief was especially obvious.

Kakashi slammed the two planks with a swing of his hammer, and when he heard the student's question, he thought about it with his chin in his hands, and said, "Well, it's probably because the princess likes you very much." ”

Naruto's lake-blue eyes widened.

"Because I expect and believe in you, I will entrust you with tasks again and again. When you grow into a ninja who can take charge on your own, you will meet many such clients. The young man looked down at the blonde boy who was a head shorter than him, and finally there was a bit of seriousness in his eyes, and he taught him step by step.

The young man, who was rarely affirmed and recognized, suddenly ignited two clusters of raging fire in his eyes, and clenched his fists vigorously and said, "I see, I understand!" Then he crackled like a chicken blood and put a wooden hammer on the nail, his movements were windy, and he was full of energy, so that Sasuke and Sakura couldn't react to his sudden change of temper.

The first technician blinked his right eye, slowly took out the little yellow book from the ninja bag, lazily leaned on the fence he had just made and began to turn the pages, and sighed without any guilt in his heart, "Oh, oh, yes, children are good liars".

It's a pity that the book hasn't seen two pages before the person who walks on the clogs reaches out and takes it away, "Don't be lazy, I paid a good honorarium." "The girl took the book and threw it away, as if she would throw it away. Kakashi was afraid that she would really miss and throw it out, so he snatched the small book with a big hand and stuffed it back into the ninja bag, a series of movements as fast as the wind, it seemed to be a matter of a second and a half.

Tsk, worthy of being a true fan of "Intimacy Paradise".

"This is the last mission." The eyes of the first technician fell not far away, and he was diligent (?) The student who was doing carpentry said to the girl next to him.

The girl looked at him suspiciously.

He turned his head and explained, "Soon there will be a middle ninja exam, and Naruto has reached the registration standard for their cumulative number of tasks, and I will conduct special training for them next." ”

The girl was very curious: "Zhongnin exam? I haven't seen it yet, so remember to remind me to watch it when the time comes. ”

Hearing her say this, the young man had a headache, and he just wanted to send her back to the Daimyo's Mansion as soon as possible: "This year's examination room is in Konoha, and ninjas from various countries are mixed, and I want to take students who can't be distracted to take care of you, so don't join in the fun." ”

Rika stared at him steadily, and the stars in her eyes began to glow brightly again.

The first technician was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Rika blinked: "Did I laugh?" ”

"It's a strange smile."

Suddenly, staring at him with that dazzling gaze and smiling so softly, it was so weird, terrible, terrible.

Lixiang touched the corners of her lips - she really curled a curved arc, and she couldn't smooth it no matter how she stroked it, and even her eyebrows and eyes were bent into crescents, as if there was a little rabbit arching with her furry head in her heart: "I'm happy." ”

There were many question marks on the back of the first technician's head.

Usually, if she is asked to go back to the Daimyo's Mansion, she will definitely be angry and awkward, but today she actually smiled happily?

The young man looked up at the sky—the sun still rises in the east today, yes!

Rika smiled silently, and a smile like honey overflowed between her eyebrows and between her lips and teeth.

- He said that he couldn't be distracted to take care of her during the Shinobi exam.

With so many ninjas in Konoha and so many guards in the palace, it won't be difficult to protect her. But the first thing that came to his mind was that he couldn't protect her full-time.

As long as you don't watch and protect it yourself, you can't 100% guarantee that there will be no leaks.

Probably even he hadn't even noticed it himself - he had already begun to plan her in his own life.

And the girl's mind is always sharper in this regard, and Rika can't help but smile on her face.

After the end of the mission, the seventh class had dinner in the palace as usual, because the princess Lixiang was in a very good mood today, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the big fish and meat on the table were not ordinarily rich, and it was estimated that the guests wanted to support the wall.

Naruto's stomach bulged after eating, and finally he leaned back in his chair to burp his heart, and the boy smiled innocently and said, "It's great that Sister Princess keeps entrusting us with tasks because she likes us, and she treats us to a big meal."

Rika, who was sitting on the main seat, heard this, looked at him with a smile and said, "No, I entrusted you with a task, purely because of the money." ”

Bang dang - the sound of the illusion shattering.

Without the slightest defense, the young man, whose little heart was hurt, turned his head sharply to look at the initiator, but the man drooped his little yellow book as if he was unconscious.

***

There is less than half a month left before the middle ninja exam, and it can be clearly felt that the vigilance of Konoha Village is getting tighter and tighter, and the ninjas stationed at each station are more energetic than usual.

As mentioned before, Kakashi was busy training the three students and exchanging information with other instructors, and he had very little free time, and it was difficult for Rika to even find him for a meal.

The palace received a letter from the Daimyo's Mansion that Arashiko, who was nine months pregnant, was about to give birth, and Rika naturally wanted to go back to welcome the arrival of the new family members. The return date was set for three days later, and Ryoko instructed the maids to pack their luggage, and the palace was busy.

Rika, who has never been someone else's elder, is very excited and looking forward to it.

Rika wants to give some special gifts to the upcoming next generation, but she doesn't know what to give, so she has to wander around the streets of Konoha casually and think. This little new family, like her, was born with everything.

Suddenly the sky was cloudy, and it began to rain, and Rika and the maid took shelter from the rain under the eaves of the shop, and the maid carefully wiped the raindrops that had fallen on the hem of Rika's skirt, and said worriedly, "I hope it doesn't rain on the day of return." ”

The proprietress of the shop laughed heartily: "It has not been raining for a long time, and it must be sunny in the next few days." ”

It's hard to say whether it will be sunny in the future, but at this time, the rain is getting heavier, thunder and lightning, and the rain can't stop for a while and a half.

Boom Boom –

The thunder struck people's ears.

A customer in the store shouted into the distance, "Hey! You two, don't play under the poles, it's thundering! ”

Lixiang looked along his line of sight, and saw two children of three or four years old playing next to the telephone pole on the side of the road in the distance, not afraid of the rain.

"Ouch, the telephone pole is the most thunderous, call those two little ghosts back." The proprietress said with a frown.

As soon as she finished speaking, a thunderbolt from the sky really fell straight down on that telephone pole!

Children are playful and ignorant of danger.

Someone in the store exclaimed, and Rika also lifted a heart.

Seeing that the thunder and lightning were about to fall, at the last moment, a figure suddenly appeared, rushed over and waved his right hand, cutting off the thunder and lightning in the air. There was also a cloud of crystal blue electricity on his palm that scattered in all directions, submerging in the rain.

"Thank goodness Kakashi-san was just in time!" The proprietress folded her hands.

The customers in the store also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wow! Look, it's Kakashisan's self-created Rachel! ”

"It's really worthy of being the first technician of our Konoha that can easily cut off even the thunder and lightning in the sky!" Someone said in a very proud and admiring tone.

Rika felt that her feet were a little soft, and she could only stand firm by holding the table next to her with one hand, and the maid hurriedly reached out to support her. She shook her hand and exhaled softly, her heart pounding in her chest.

Over there, Kakashi walked towards the store with a child in one hand like a kitten, and just as he put the child down, his right hand fell into a pair of slender, soft hands.

The owner of the two hands held his hand and looked left and right, as if to examine something carefully, and then raised his head for a moment and asked, "Does it hurt?" There were a lot of emotions in her big eyes, worry, distress, and fear, and so many things mixed together, drowning out all the stars that had lived in them.

He replied a little amusedly, "Princess, this is an electric current formed with chakra, and it doesn't hurt." ”

The customers in the store all laughed, even if it was a kind smile, but they also laughed at her for making a fuss.

"Princess, ninjutsu is commonplace for ninjas, and it's out of the way."

"That's it, Kakashi-san went to war before he was ten years old, so you don't have to worry about it."

Rika stared down at his palm again, there was no electricity there, no longer than usual. If you cut off the thunder and lightning with your hands, and the current of thousands of volts is concentrated in the palm of your hand, will it not hurt? Rika can't imagine.

Even if you feel painless after practicing such a powerful ninjutsu now, then in the process of practicing, when you haven't been able to control it skillfully, it must be very hard, right? Although he has been called a genius since he was a child, can so many years of hard work and hard work really be replaced by the word "genius"?

Rika stroked his palm very softly and gently.

Kakashi was a little helpless, a little embarrassed, but more of a familiar and wonderful feeling. He has been a ninja for more than 20 years, and he was once the most reassuring protégé of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, and now he is a reliable companion in the eyes of his teammates and a proud guardian in the eyes of the villagers.

But the girl in front of him didn't care about his identity, and the points she cared about were very strange, which made him a little overwhelmed. This feeling has come up several times, all brought about by her.

She didn't think how powerful Konoha's first technician should be at all, she was only afraid of his injury, afraid that he would hurt, afraid that he wouldn't take his pain seriously.

Kakashi couldn't help frowning, things didn't seem quite right, oh, being cherished so carefully, really-

"Oh no," the young man muttered to himself......, barely audible.
