[Naruto·Itachi BG] Reverse Black and White II

"...So it's like this..." After listening to Itachi's report, the beautiful woman sitting at the top lowered her eyes and looked down at the fragments of the wooden carving of the "Shadow Miko" presented in front of her. She frowned slightly and looked extremely melancholy. Hiding your face.

This is the client of this haunted house mission, the side chamber of the favored Daimyo of Kawanoguni. She is very beautiful and young. She doesn't look much older than Feng Lan, but she is already the mother of a two-year-old child. Oh, it is said that she just had another child in her belly, so the daimyo, who was struggling to produce an heir, regarded her as the apple of his eye and delegated a lot of authority in the main household to her. Of course, this kind of plot with a strong palace fighting atmosphere will not be described in detail in this article.

"...So, my great-grandfather and great-aunt are finally reunited?" She elegantly and slowly raised her delicate and well-maintained hands, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and said a simple However, her movements were manipulated so that they were charming and delicate.

Perhaps because she was not of a very high background and was too young, she was very strict with her manners and manners, so she seemed to exert a little too much force, which always made people feel a bit pretentious and dignified and pretentious and charming.

Kisame suppressed the desire to twitch at the corner of his mouth, feeling extremely tired, but Itachi did not squint, but just nodded slightly, adhering to the most perfect etiquette and alienation on the surface, and said briefly and politely: "Yes."

"...In other words, it won't affect me and my children? They are the only heirs of the daimyo!" When asked about the information he was most concerned about, the daimyo's side room couldn't help but feel nervous and excited, and stretched his neck forward a little. , the appearance always looks not as elegant as before.

Itachi seemed not to notice her gaffe, and still replied calmly and truthfully: "Don't worry, everything has been taken care of."

He felt a little confused for no reason, but he was just a few years older. Not only did she become a mother, but she also acted out palace scheming, and had a lot of fun competing with a group of women for favor and love. However, the one in his family was still naive and naive. I don't know much about the world and just think about how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Such a comparison is really worrying and fortunate at the same time!

Itachi sighed silently in his heart.

"...That's good..." The knot in his heart that had been bothering him for a long time was untied, and the side room seemed to have lost all strength and collapsed on the armrest.

The moment of relaxation made her forget herself, exposing her careless habits that were born in the countryside and were incompatible with aristocratic etiquette. Those disguised grace and splendor suddenly disappeared.

Itachi was bright-eyed but didn't tell the truth. He remembered that Feng Lan had also pretended to be a noble lady, such as when he visited Hinata's house when he was a child, such as when he pretended to be a bride. But it seems that she has never shown any flaws. Although there is some artificial slowness in her movements, it is not obtrusive at all. Instead, she highlights a casual laziness, confidence and elegance, graceful but not frivolous, like some habits Etiquette is innately rooted in the bone marrow, and there is a natural nobility from the heart.

He thought, maybe even a princess who grew up in the Great Austria would not have better manners than her, right?

Ah, of course, it could also be because he looked at Feng Lan and thought she was good in everything.

But this is a bit strange. Although their family has strict upbringing, they never impose strict rules on the behavior of their children. I am afraid that even the Hyuga family, which is famous for its "tradition", does not have such meticulous rules, right?

So the question is, who gave Feng Lan the influence of noble ethics?

While Itachi was distracted, the side room servant had already called his servants up, presented two trays in front of Itachi and Kisame respectively, and motioned for them to lift the covers on them.

"This is..." After seeing the reward on the tray clearly, Kisame expressed slight surprise, but Itachi only moved his eyes slightly and remained calm.

The daimyo's side chamber disagreed and said: "...I have paid the original reward to your leader. This is an extra reward... After all, it is a major matter related to the future crown prince of the Kingdom of Sichuan. You two have done a good job. Thank you very much." !”

Having said that, is this too much?

Before Kisame could say anything, the side room seemed to answer questions and said to Itachi: "I saw the little girl who came with you. She is really a rare beauty with good taste." When she spoke Her tone was teasing and narrow-minded, making it difficult not to hear what she meant.

Kisame's mouth twitched when he heard this. This is embarrassing! The two you mentioned are serious siblings! Kisame was very confused. Could it be that the life in the palace was too boring, so he came up with a little love drama that filled the heart of a girl out of thin air? A super S-level rebellious ninja and his runaway sweetheart wife who is on the run?

emmmmm...don't say it, just put it in your place, it's quite interesting? Kisame said that he seemed to be a little bit drunk.

However, this misunderstanding is huge!

Kisame secretly thought something was wrong and tilted his head slightly, a little worried and curious about how Itachi should defend himself.

But in fact, the embarrassing situation that Kisame expected for Itachi did not appear. Itachi just nodded slightly and said politely and humbly: "You are so complimentary."

Kisame:? ? ?

No, Itachi-san, are you acquiescing or something? Didn't you hear the implication of Mrs. Side's words? How should you explain to your sister when you go back?

Seeing Itachi's slightly relaxed expression, the side room realized that he had found the focus of this cold and handsome ninja with a great reputation, so he hit the road while the iron was hot: "It's not easy to come to Daming Mansion. Although the Kingdom of Sichuan is not as prosperous as the Kingdom of Fire, it is It is also a fertile land with many special features. Whatever the little girl wants, just buy more. After all, there must be many people paying attention to such a rare little beauty."

She herself is only a few years older than Feng Lan, but her old-fashioned tone makes her look like an elder. Itachi still looked calm and thanked: "...Thank you very much."

Kisame:......

After coming out of the Daiming Mansion, Kisame thought for a while and finally figured out why Itachi had to deal with the Daiming side room like this:

First of all, the client was satisfied with the results of their task, so he gave them extra rewards. Otherwise, general remuneration will be paid in the form of pre-determined task remuneration, and there will be no additional bonuses. Secondly, the client obviously attached great importance to this mission and had been paying attention to their movements, otherwise he would not have even known about Itachi bringing Feng Lan here. Perhaps, it was because he saw someone as cold as Itachi-san getting close to Feng Lan that he opened his mind and misunderstood the relationship between the two. The client saw that they successfully completed the task and brought their "family members" with them, so they made a favor. At this time, if Itachi-san replied, "No, she is my sister, you misunderstood." That would be disappointing! If you refute the face of the arrogant side chamber, you may lose all the rewards you get.

Thinking he had figured out the key, Kisame couldn't help but sigh: "It's no wonder it's Itachi-san, your emotional intelligence is really high!"

"Huh?" Itachi saw that Kisame looked worried after coming out of the Daimyo Castle, and now he was praising himself inexplicably, so he couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at him.

Kisame: "..."

not good! He was so lost in thought that he accidentally spoke out what was on his mind.

So Kisame hurriedly made up his mind: "I mean, what should I do with these extra rewards? Does Itachi-san have any emotionally intelligent solutions?" This means that the money must be kept, and the boss must also account for it. Although it was a question out of urgency, it did reveal what he was thinking.

"Take it, just tell us when you go back." Itachi didn't think much and just responded casually, "Those rewards are just because she takes a fancy to our strength and wants to add a layer of bargaining chips for her son to successfully inherit the position of daimyo. Just make friends with us in advance." He paused and added, "As for Feng Lan, it was just a high-sounding excuse for this "bribery" with ulterior motives, and she continued to contact relevant people who might be useful to her. It's just a show of goodwill from the staff. "

ah? Is that so? Does this seemingly simple reward actually have such a deep meaning? !

He originally thought that this move was just the whim of a wealthy noble who was bored and had good things to do, but he didn't expect that this move was actually in the atmosphere.

Same same shocked jpg

Seeing Kisame's appearance, Itachi knew that he was not thinking deeply, so he continued to explain: "...As for being able to take it with confidence, I think Pain should also have the intention to make friends with this person, otherwise, he would not accept it. Such a boring task."

Are you bored? Kisame was not bored at all. It's both a ghost and an evil spirit, and in the end, it even created the Gate of Hell, which almost refreshed my worldview!

Kisame's disapproval was visible to the naked eye, and he could almost read his inner complaints without using the Sharingan. Itachi still took the trouble to explain: "Leave aside the unexpected final direction of the mission, and just look at the original mission description, it is obviously an excuse. The incident was nothing more than a deliberate temptation, and the other was played into his own hands. Otherwise, even if Payne was short of money, he would not waste the most precious human resources in the organization to do this child's play task. Everything was just to make both parties happy. Just pick it up."

Itachi lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes reflecting a dark color under his eyes. There was one more thing he didn't tell Kisame. He must firmly hold the Kingdom of Sichuan, the sphere of influence of "Akatsuki", and its future successor. He must not let Pain send others to contact him.

Haha, you guys who play strategy have dirty hearts.

But Kisame was completely numb at this time, and a simple little shark lost his ability to think. He thought to himself, just do whatever you say, he doesn't care anymore. Anyway, after the mission was completed and the money was obtained, he had nothing to worry about.

When his mind was empty, Kisame suddenly remembered something and asked Itachi, "By the way, where did Feng Lan go?"

Itachi's footsteps paused for a moment, then he walked forward as if nothing had happened, and casually replied: "There is nothing to worry about when you are teamed up with "Sapphire". "

"Oh, Fei is here too, right?" Kisame also added, with a hint of schadenfreude in his sympathy, "It's really hard for Scorpion to take care of three naughty children by himself!"

Itachi didn't respond to him, just quickened his pace imperceptibly.

The reason why the six members of their "Haunted House Adventure Team" are still hanging around happily is thanks to Feng Lan. Itachi's thoughts unconsciously drifted back to the day Zetsu came to visit...
