[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

"Although the wound looks terrible, please don't worry."

Cheng put away the chakra, took a clean bandage and wound medicine, and carefully bandaged the half-healed wound on the opponent's arm.

"It will heal in a few days, but please don't use heavy weapons during the recovery period-ah, the seal and kunai are fine...excuse me, are there other injuries?"

After explaining the matters needing attention, the reaction of the Uchiha youth in front of him seemed to be a little slow. Cheng just showed a little puzzled expression. Blushing, he stood up awkwardly.

"Ah... no, thank you."

Thanks to this relatively stable period, there were not many people who needed treatment, so the young man got a chance to be alone with the other party. He looked at the side of the girl who started to arrange the medical equipment. face, and mustered up the courage to speak.

"Well, although it's presumptuous, may I ask..."

Cheng really turned his attention to him, which invisibly aggravated the tension of the young man...but he also made up his mind because of it.

"Excuse me, do you have a marriage agreement?"

"Huh?" Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, "No, no, I haven't considered such a thing."

His eyes lit up, flickering with hope.

"So--"

Before the sentence could be finished, the door was pulled open with a "swish", and then walked in was Uchiha Izumi who was exuding a not-so-good aura for some reason.

"Izumi... Senna-sama."

"After performing medical ninjutsu, Chung often feels tired."

Unlike his dignified elder brother, Quanna has always been gentle with others, and most of the time he is indeed the easy-to-get-together type—although he is still smiling now, it seems that he is uncharacteristically faintly possessing a certain kind of terrifying oppression.

"So, if you have finished your treatment, please don't stay here for a long time."

"...I see! I'm sorry!"

Quanna watched him run away with that kind of euphemistic reproach that contained "you know it", and then looked at Cheng.

Cheng had already packed everything into a small box that was convenient for her to carry and use. She put it beside her, then noticed Quanna's gaze, and sighed softly.

"I actually don't think I'm as weak as you say..."

"Let's not mention this, Cheng, I have something more important to say." His tone became serious, "In the future, we should be more cautious in contact with that person. It is best not to meet alone. If it is an unavoidable occasion, Just let me or my brother accompany you—"

"Quenna, if you do this, it will scare the other party, right?"

"No, Cheng, you don't understand." Quan Nai said, "Even if they are of the same race, men and women are different..."

"What are you talking about, Quanna, I'm considered a medical ninja, and I still know about such things." Cheng couldn't help but smile, "Let's not talk about whether your worries have any basis, that child just asked me Whether he is married or not, I think he is a man of etiquette..."

Keenly aware of the positive comments lurking in Cheng's tone, Quanna immediately interrupted her, not even noticing that she was referring to someone older than herself as "that child".

"—No, you are still young, so you don't need to think about getting married."

After finishing speaking, Cheng didn't speak for a few seconds, only then did Quanna realize that she was looking at him with surprised eyes.

They stared at each other quietly for a while, Cheng first turned his head, half covered his face and smiled.

"...Cheng." Seeing her indistinctly shaking shoulders, Quan Nai said a little unnaturally, "Cheng, stop laughing."

"I'm sorry." Cheng coughed lightly, and tried hard to put away his smile, "I understand...Actually, I didn't have any plans in this regard, I will do as you said—by the way, how about this commission ?”

Quanna breathed a sigh of relief at the change of topic.

"It's not difficult." He said, "It's just a mission to escort important items, and the opponents I met are just wandering ninjas without families... By the way, let's talk about this."

Quan Nai took out a scroll, and then lifted the seal on the seal. After a puff of smoke, what emerged from it was neither a ninja tool nor a wound medicine, but a beautiful Temari ball.

Cheng picked it up curiously, and stroked the pattern of double cherry blossoms woven with colored threads. The petals that spread out were piled up to form a gorgeous pattern.

"The merchant said that this is a product that is very popular with girls recently, but if it's Chung, it seems to be a little different from ordinary girls..."

"I think it's very beautiful." Cheng smiled and said, "Can you give it to me, Quanna?"

"……certainly."

Maybe Quan Nai didn't realize the tenderness in his eyes.

"It's very good of you to like it."

△△△

In order to properly put away Quanna's gift, Cheng went back to her room, opened the cabinet, and stored the Temari ball on the second floor.

She thought for a while, then squatted down, and opened the bottom drawer, and there were a variety of beautiful small objects in Cheng Cheng's eyes... The candy box that Quan Nai gave her before was placed in the most conspicuous position.

I don't know from which day, Quan Nai began to bring back one or two gifts to Cheng when she went out, and later, when the two were parting, Quan Nai also got used to asking her if there was anything she wanted.

Sometimes she said yes, sometimes she said no.

But no matter which time it was, after Quan Nai smiled and promised to give her some nice little things, Cheng would feel a little more at ease.

Both understand that this is actually a way of making a commitment to each other.

"I'll come back alive to see you."

as well as.

"I will live to wait for you."

Before you know it, there are already so many.

Cheng closed the drawer, and when she walked out the door, she still felt a little emotional, then she saw Madara from a distance, and Madara also noticed her, but before the two could walk towards each other, the elder of the clan spoke to Madara first, and he had to stop. She came down to talk to the other party, and on Cheng's side, she was also stumbled by the children.

"Cheng, listen to me!"

A child who was familiar with Cheng cheerfully took her hand.

"I opened my eyes, yesterday!"

In order to take a good look at the other party, Cheng Meiyan bent forward a little bit.

"Can I see it?"

"Uh-huh!"

The other party nodded and held his breath.He didn't seem to be able to use the conversion of the blood succession boundary very skillfully. It took some time before his dark pupils turned red smoothly.

"Really amazing."

She exclaimed slightly.

"However, Sharingan is not so easy to master. When using it, you must always pay attention to the consumption of Chakra and physical energy..."

The other party came to inform the Fire Nation of the new commission, and after receiving the information, Madara's eyes couldn't help turning to Cheng again.

People in the Uchiha family are probably always more sensitive to sight. The clan elder who talked with Madara just now looked over together and found where his gaze fell.

"Speaking of..." he said, "Master Madara, is that child already married?"

Madara looked away for a moment.

"Not yet, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that most of the girls of the same age in the clan have decided on a partner, and many of them have been formally married. In the eyes of the old man, apart from her physical congenital deficiencies, Chenghui is an excellent wife and mother." The clan elder expressed his thoughts slowly, "So if she doesn't have a fiancé yet, she might as well consider my grandson..."

"Cheng is only 15 years old." Madara frowned, "It's too early to discuss this issue."

"But she will be sixteen soon, not to mention..."

He stopped talking immediately, because Madara's expression clearly showed displeasure, and his slightly longer life experience than many of his contemporaries made him wisely swallow what he didn't finish.

——What's more, there are some girls in the clan who marry at the age of 14, get married at the age of 15, and have their first child at the age of 16.

——As the patriarch, it is impossible for you not to know.

When Cheng walked over here, they had already ended the topic in a very subtle way, and the clan elders also left to deal with other affairs, so Cheng knew nothing about the conversation between the two.

"Madara, is there another commission?"

"Well." He replied, "Recently, the relationship between the countries has a tendency to ease, and it happens to be in the farming period, and the frequency of wars has also decreased...According to the tradition, the other party requires the entrustment in person, but it should not be Too dangerous a task."

"So, you have to go to the town of the Land of Fire again..."

"Yes, we have been there to hand over commissions."

Noticing that Cheng seemed to be a little lost in thought, Madara asked suddenly.

"Do you want to go together?"

Cheng raised his head, surprised and pleasantly surprised.

"Recently, it's been peaceful, and the location is not far from here...and with me here, it doesn't matter once in a while." He said, "So what is your answer, whether to go or not."

"Going."

Cheng nodded vigorously.

"Please, Madara, please take me with you."

△△△

Although like most ninjas who cannot integrate into ordinary people and live with them, the Uchiha clan has no clear national affiliation, and its nature is relatively closer to an independent mercenary group, but they still need living space and survival just like ordinary people. resources, so in order to facilitate trade with the outside world and many other reasons, Uchiha's clan is set up in a place that is sufficiently hidden, but not isolated from the world.

The closest to them is the Land of Fire.

This time, the place where I agreed to meet with the client was a border town in the Land of Fire, and at Madara's speed, it didn't take a day to go back and forth.

In fact, he could have been faster, but in order to take care of the weak girl, Madara adjusted the speed to a level that would not make the other party feel strenuous. Even so, they reached their destination before noon.

Cheng was hugged and driven for a long time, and when he finally stood on the surface again, he felt as if he had passed away.

Madara took her by the hand and led her to the crowd in front of the city gate. Cheng looked at the flow of people and the city gate for a while, and then looked at Madara again.

"What's wrong."

"Madara, can we pass through the city gate without national affiliation?"

"At least on the surface, ninjas and the city lord's guard warriors belong to the same class."

Cheng could roughly understand that Shiba didn't mean anything clearly.

Although under normal circumstances, ninjas who can use Chakra are much stronger than samurai, but perhaps because of this, most powerful people at this time prefer to choose samurai as their close vassals.

Ninjas are considered to be very dangerous. Although they are sharp weapons against the enemy, the users are always vigilant to avoid stabbing themselves.

When it was the turn of the two, Madara showed the scroll-shaped pass certificate. After the guard recognized the certificate type, his attitude immediately became cautious... At the same time, there was a subtle rejection.

It seems that such things are commonplace, and Madara passed the checkpoint without stopping.The scale of the town is small, and Madara went straight to the largest hotel in the city, located in the west, where the third floor doubles as a tea room, and the other party made an appointment with Madara here.

They sat down at a table in an inconspicuous corner, and Cheng lifted up the plain curtain for sunshade to have a panoramic view of the scene below.

She vaguely knew the general situation of this world from Madara, Quanna, and others, and also had a general understanding of the distribution of countries and regions from the map specially asked Quanna to bring back, but this was the first time she really came into contact with it. A picture of the life of the average commoner in this era.

Although in Cheng's view, the level of development here is still very backward, the peculiar customs and customs unique to border towns and mixed styles still attracted her interest. Until the client agreed with Madara also arrived, Cheng heard their greetings. voice, and hastily put down the curtain to avoid being rude.

The person who came was dressed like a samurai. The moment Cheng turned his face, he stopped his voice, fixed his eyes on her face, and even stretched out his hand subconsciously.

"you are……"

Before he could touch Cheng, his hand was seized.

"Please don't touch her."

The client woke up in Madara's cold and sharp eyes.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I don't mean anything malicious, it's just this..."

Madara took half a step forward, blocking Cheng behind her.

"Sister sister."

"...this Miss Ninja has a very similar appearance to the daimyo's daughter."

Madara waited for the other party's next words.

"Master Uchiha, originally what I wanted to entrust was a simple task of eliminating bandits, but..."

The client looked solemn and solemnly made his request.

"I can't reveal too many details here, but recently the neighboring country has proposed a marriage alliance, and the chosen one is the princess who looks similar to your sister, but there are some complicated things in it, the princess is very likely to become a proton , or being hurt—the daimyo loves that daughter very much, and has been depressed about it..."

"so."

Madara interrupted him calmly.

Even though it was just a simple sentence, the coercion from Madara made the client break out in cold sweat, and his body trembled slightly, he continued to speak with difficulty.

"I want to hire Lingmei to go to a neighboring country as the princess in the name of the country of fire..."

The strong killing intent rushed towards the client in an instant, and the latter subconsciously pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, but still couldn't restrain the two waves of war.

"As long as we reach the destination smoothly, the commission will be over! And the ninja we hired in advance to protect the princess will accompany you! As for the reward, it will be very rich——"

"I reject."

Madara said.

"Don't mention it a second time."

"Please wait."

Madara stopped suddenly, looking at Cheng in disbelief.

"I'm interested in the reward you mentioned."

She came out from behind Madara, raised her head slightly, and met the client's gaze.

"We can prepare a large amount of common currency, precious metals, or equivalent materials you need."

"What if I want residency?" She smiled. "There are also privileges related to trade activities with the Nation of Fire, and other freedoms... How much can you pay for these?"

The client's nerves tensed up, and what this girl gave him was another kind of terrible pressure.

"Of course, if you have other alternatives, you can reject me now..."

"I can't agree to your request without authorization." He said with cold sweat, "I have to go back and ask the daimyo for instructions before I can give a reply."

"Then I have the same answer here."

As she spoke, she took Madara's hand calmly, but the other party clenched his fist tightly, Cheng felt his resistance from it.

She felt slightly sad, but...

Even if it goes against his wishes, she can't always accept the protection of others with peace of mind, not to mention, this is something only she can do.

Cheng finally let go of Madara's hand and looked at the client with a gentle tone.

"I await your reply."
