[Main Naruto] Little sweet girl is blackened

"Go on."

"I suspect that Lord Takeda may know that the former team leader shared the information with you."

Using caravans to search for intelligence is a common method used by various countries, and it is not hidden.Because military-related matters were usually completed by ninjas alone, everyone tacitly chose to ignore these ordinary people who had no special abilities and could only collect some peripheral information.

The ninja sect has been circulating in the mainland for thousands of years, and they have long forgotten that their ancestors used ordinary people to make the intelligence organizations look like flowers.

Takeda Takuma used Yukina's caravan as a cover to collect intelligence secretly. It was not necessary, but everyone was doing it. If I didn't do something, wouldn't I be falling behind?

In the ten years since the First Ninja War, all countries have been working hard to develop, and their investment in Ninja Villages has been increasing.If there is one, there are two. No one knows when the second war will break out. It is urgent to enhance military strength.

After ten years of development, Xuena's caravan has extended its tentacles to every country.Although not every city has people stationed there, big cities have set up fixed stations.Especially izakayas, hot spring hotels, dining spots, grocery stores, etc., these are places where news spreads fastest where people meet.As long as a person lives, he cannot do without food, clothing, housing and transportation.By sticking to these points, you can capture any information you want to capture.

Even though Takeda Takuma might not have seen the intelligence he collected for several years, he still couldn't bear to have others share his rights and achievements, especially this person was Yukina - a princess from another country who had not given birth to an heir for him.

Man, it is true that he likes you, but this does not prevent him from secretly guarding you and even abandoning you when necessary.

Xue Nai smiled: "It's not surprising. If we still can't find any clues after so many years, I will doubt how he got the position of daimyo."

"Madam, the daimyo killed the team leader without revealing it. Did you..." take precautions earlier?

Yukina raised her hand to stop Mitsuki Sakagami from continuing: "Do what you should do, I have my own plan. Remember, no matter what news you hear, don't be distracted and wait for my instructions."

"Yes."

Mitsuki Sakagami came and went in a hurry, and the news he brought was quite shocking, but Yukina still did what she was supposed to do, without seeing any difference.Takeda Takuma, who had been sending people to observe her secretly, couldn't help but be confused. Could it be that he had misunderstood her?Or maybe she was just pushed out to take the blame, and someone else really benefited?

This is not impossible. Takeda Takuma, who is nearly sixty years old, is physically declining more than he was ten years ago, and his mental state is not as good as before.The sons who used to compete with each other were now even more eager to make moves, and several times they made big noises that even he could hardly suppress.

Peace provides a breeding ground for their ambitions, and desires grow wildly and spread in their hearts like weeds, reaching the point where they cannot be good without cutting off the roots.There is a destined winner between the old man in power and his young and powerful successor.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since Mitsuki Sakagami's visit. Takeda Takuma, who has never been able to catch the pigtails of Yukina or the person behind her, slowly relaxed his tense nerves.It was this opportunity that Xuena had been waiting for. Sensing this from the other party's words and deeds, she immediately ordered action.

"Xanthium, go send a message over there and be more alert. That's all for the past few days."

"Yes, ma'am."

-------------------------------------

The gorgeous Japanese-style room is equipped with an extraordinary workmanship of a hundred birds facing the phoenix screen.The colorful phoenix eyes are vivid and lifelike, as if they are about to fly out of the painting at any time.There was a tatami behind the screen, and Yukina was sleeping peacefully.

Black hair is spread out like a waterfall on the bed, with sporadic bits of white hair visible. The delicate facial features are stained with the traces of time, and it is still easy to see how beautiful she is.Her extraordinarily pale complexion added a touch of frail delicacy to her, like crystal clear glass, beautiful but fragile and requiring careful care and care.

The corners of her lips raised in a gentle arc while she was sleeping. She must have had a sweet dream.The feeling of vulnerability was dispelled by the gentle smile, which made her look less cold and distant and more friendly, no different from any ordinary woman who lived a happy life.

"Sister~Sister~" Someone's energetic child's voice sounded out in the dream, carrying lingering dependence and closeness.The soft little hands gently pushed her body, "Sister Xuena, Nana is hungry~" It was still the same voice, but now it was aggrieved and even a little choked.

Xue Nai looked down and saw that little Nanaisheng had a round face, big brown eyes, and a slightly pouting look that was cuter than any other child in the world.She couldn't help but stretched out her hands, which were a pair of hands that were only slightly larger than Nainaisheng but also belonged to a girl, and she skillfully took the person into her arms.

"Nanasheng is hungry, sister will cook for you right away." His voice seemed to be awake but still full of sleepiness, but he had already fumbled to sit up from the tatami.

The little girl's happy voice sounded in her arms: "Hey, Nanaisheng likes Sister Xuena the most."

The scene turned, and in the dark bedroom, an older woman was lying on the quilt, lingering for breath.She was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, which made people feel unbearable just looking at her. Nanaisheng and Xueina were sitting on their knees beside her, hand in hand.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Mom..." In the picture, it seemed that even the sky was covered in white, and no other colors could be found.

The dream changed quickly, and soon it was that Nana was sick, lying on the bed with fever all over her body, and she was delirious.On a cold night, Xue Nai cried while holding the little person in her arms and applying a cold handkerchief to cool her down, fearing that she would be cold or overheated.

Her little hands were red from the cold, but she didn't care. She kept calling her sister's name in a low voice, "Nanaisheng, Nanaisheng, don't abandon your sister, please~Nanaisheng!"

Xuena, who was sleeping peacefully, frowned subconsciously, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She was completely immersed in the dream.

"Xue Nai, there will be a truce period after this mission. Let's celebrate the holidays together." The man's voice was low and sweet. She could almost imagine the soft expression on his face when he spoke, and the extraordinarily gentle eyebrows when he looked at her.

Another gentler and higher voice sounded, full of expectation and joy, "And me, and me. Xue Nai, don't worry, Brother Ban and I will always protect you and your future nephew."

"Well, with Madara and Izuna here, Yukina won't worry."

The laughter and laughter at that time are still in my ears, but what happened later...

Afterwards, there was no later.

As if feeling the master's intense emotions, the dream suddenly dispersed, and Xue Nai, who was sleeping on the couch, opened her eyes.Her expression was clear, and she didn't look like she had just woken up from a dream.Her eyes were slightly closed, and her crow-feather-like eyelashes fell, covering her lonely eyes.

"Nainai, Madara, Quanna..." With such a tender and tender heart, I couldn't say their names.You can only hold it in your mouth and swallow it into your stomach. No one is allowed to hear it, and no one is allowed to know it.

"Brother Ban, I will be able to see you soon. Will you be happy with the grandest ceremony and the most generous burial? Haha, hahaha~ I will definitely..." The nervous laughter was low and weird, It was incompatible with her tender and sweet smile.

"Madam? Mrs. Schnee? Are you awake?" As if hearing the movement in the inner room, someone stood outside and asked softly, his voice indescribably respectful and cautious.

"...Come in, Xanthium." A soft voice like a sigh came outside. If someone hadn't listened carefully, they might have missed it.The weird laughter just now was like an illusion, and it disappeared without a trace before anyone noticed it.

After hearing the summons, the sliding door of the Japanese room was gently opened with a "swish" sound.Then there were the sound of inaudible footsteps. People walked around and raised the curtains and propped up the window sash. The afterglow of the setting sun came in and lit up the slightly dark interior.

Xue Nai stood up and let the maid who came in later help put on the gorgeous twelve singles, and suddenly asked: "What time is it?"

"It's midnight, madam. Master Takuma invites you to have dinner with us."

"Yeah." After the voice fell, the room fell into silence again.Except for the occasional sound of clothes rubbing against each other, it was so quiet that it was disconcerting.But the people in this room seemed to have long been accustomed to it and didn't take it to heart at all.

Everyone in Daming Mansion knows that Mrs. Xuena has a gentle temperament and likes peace and quiet.The person who comes to serve you can be less clever, but you must not be talkative.

"Okay, madam." Xanthium took a step back, squatted slightly and helped Xuena stand up.The mirror reflected a woman who was exceptionally well-dressed. She didn't look like she was just going to have dinner.

She raised her hand to take the fan handed by the maid, and her movements were elegant and graceful only for nobles.Who would have thought that such a woman would have the blood of a despicable ninja in the eyes of the nobles.Even that one, the Uchiha clan, who was famous and well-educated in the ninja world.

A faint red light lit up in the room and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. The maid who nodded her head was completely unaware of it.Xuena closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her calm eyes were filled with smiles, and her cold voice was coated in honey.

"Lead the way to meet Master Takuma."

The slender figure was like a weak willow supporting the wind, walking slowly on the winding corridor. When passing by the garden, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a young man in brocade clothes wandering under a tree.

"The eldest son." The maids stopped to salute, and the man turned his head upon hearing this, revealing a warm and friendly face. It was none other than Takeda Takuma's eldest son, Takeda Rin.

"Mother." He took a few steps forward and showed all the etiquette a son should have in front of this stepmother who was only four years older than her.Unlike his brothers, he could not hide his contemptuous look.

"Rin, are you here to see Master Takuma?" Xuena's smile did not change and she nodded slightly in return.

"Yes, I was about to leave and disturbed my mother."

"It's okay."

The two exchanged a few words in a nonchalant manner, maintaining the same lukewarm relationship between stepmother and stepson as they had ten years ago.After a brief exchange of greetings, Xuena left with the maid.

The moment they passed each other, their eyes met. Takeda Rin's pupils tightened and his eyes dodge for a second in panic.Xuena seemed to be unaware of it, naturally turning her head and drifting away.
