[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

For the Kingdom of Fire, which has just ceased war, the princess's wedding seems to be considered by the citizens as a long-lost, festival-like grand and lively event worthy of celebration, although this arrogant princess always has to drive away wherever she goes. The civilians cleared the streets, but there were still a large number of people crowded on both sides of the road, watching the princess' guard of honor pass by.

Unfortunately, most of the time, the princess stayed in a luxuriously decorated carriage, so that people could not see her appearance.

Arriving at the residence this day was earlier than usual, and the sky was still bright. The princess's carriage stopped in front of the local noble mansion that had been requisitioned in advance, and then the accompanying maid stepped forward and waited respectfully beside the car.

But after waiting for a while, the princess did not appear.

The maid's expression became puzzled and uneasy. She was hesitating to check the situation in the car, and worried that she would be punished as an offense, when the curtain of the side window of the carriage was slightly lifted.

Opening the curtain is a folded ornate folding fan.

The maid hurriedly listened to her, and she didn't know what she heard. She showed a embarrassed expression, but she didn't dare to speak out to disobey the other party.

After the message was finished, the folding fan shook lightly, the curtain was raised and lowered, and the soft hand holding the handle of the fan with its nails painted with Kodan flashed like a fright, and then disappeared quickly.

"His Royal Highness means..."

Said the maid who came to convey the princess' wish.

"She asked that ninja-sama to serve her."

Cheng, who was alone in the car, was leaning against the wall of the car, playing with the folding fan in his hand boredly, and his heavy clothes were a little messed up.

In the eyes of the maids and female officials, such a posture is far from serious enough, but after traveling for half a day, Cheng, who was wearing this dress, felt more and more uncomfortable, so when she was alone, she It is no longer sitting upright.

After these few days of observation, she also had some understanding of Princess Qingzi's reputation. Before she spoke, there were few people who dared to lift the curtain on their own initiative...

"your Highness."

The curtain was half lifted, and the light penetrated into the car, and Cheng guessed who was coming before he even looked at him.

—Only that person would do that.

"Who allowed you to lift it up without authorization?"

Cheng lowered his eyelashes, while observing the pictures drawn on the fan, he rubbed the bones of the fan with his fingertips.

The other party did not speak, and his eyes fell on her.

Cheng also noticed this, she finally raised her face, and what she saw was the indifferent face of a young man with red pupils.

Cheng watched him for a while, then put away the unfolded folding fan.

She still maintained the slightly contemptuous posture, but raised her wrist and pointed at the other party with the top of the folding fan in her hand.

Her wrists are as white as frost and snow, and the little vermilion on the fingertips is even more delicate and charming.

"Prejudice."

Cheng said softly.

"Who allowed you to look up at me."

Faced with such accusations, the youth still did not make an excuse.

She gradually withdrew her hand, as if she still wanted to say something.

"you……"

"Feel sorry."

Cheng, who was interrupted, couldn't figure out which rude act the other party was apologizing for, so she was pulled by her hand. She couldn't help being surprised. When she let go of her hand, the handle of the fan she was holding fell off, and The person who grabbed her took her out of the car with only a little force, and suddenly lost her balance, but before losing her composure, the young man quickly held her other arm, then put her arms around her shoulders to stabilize her , and let go.

The extremely rapid entanglement probably couldn't be seen by the eyes of other people. In the blink of an eye, everything was over in a blink of an eye. Even what the maid at the side noticed was that the princess seemed to be caught by the entanglement when she stepped out of the carriage. I tripped over the hem of the skirt and knocked off the folding fan, but thanks to Ninja-sama's assistance, I was fine.

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help the princess who was inconvenient to move because of her cumbersome attire, but timidly stopped within a step away.

The princess stood impassively, gazing coldly at her protector.

For some reason, the young man who was treated harshly fell silent for a while, knelt down on one knee, picked up the fallen folding fan, and held it up in front of the girl.

"Disrespectful."

After the princess finished speaking, she took the folding fan from him not very gently, took the maid's hand, turned and left.

Before leaving, the maid couldn't help but glance back at the young man.

She couldn't describe it well, but she could feel a certain unique aura between the two.

tense, sharp...

There is no room for intervention.

△△△

The owner of the mansion where they stayed today belonged to a family that had a princess married several generations ago, and it was said that Cheng's room once belonged to that princess.

Cheng leaned against the window, staring intently at the scene outside.

That princess must have loved the hustle and bustle of city life.

she thought.

The reason why she came up with this idea was because Cheng noticed that even though this was a house that isolated herself from the outside world with a wall, from the window of this room, she could clearly have a panoramic view of the market outside.

And the flowering branches outside the window are so luxuriant, presumably from the outside, it is impossible to notice that there are people crouching in front of the window and looking out.

Qianshoubanjian came at this time.

His visit was not informed or inquired by the maid, and the door fell silently and deftly in the middle of the room. Cheng was not surprised, but she frowned slightly as if she was dissatisfied with the arrival of the other party.

Seeing the other party's expression, although Tobuma thinks that he has a good reason for coming - to protect her at a closer distance, so as to respond to various emergencies in time - but he really doesn't know what to use This way to appease the other party's displeasure.

In the past few days, Qianshou Feijian also understood that he was being deliberately made things difficult by the other party.

For him, this embarrassment should be at most a little troubled... He was born in the most severe situation of the war. Although his father was the patriarch of the clan, it did not mean that he How many privileges can he have? The fact is just the opposite. Before he reached adulthood, two of his younger brothers died.

Therefore, compared with the enemies on the battlefield, this girl is as unthreatening as a full-term kitten, even if she raised the fluff on the tip of her tail as if facing a big enemy, lowered her body and assumed an attacking posture , those tender teeth and claws could only leave light white marks on the back of his hand.

However, perhaps because of this, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the kitten in front of him was very, very difficult to deal with.

If the opponent wants to kill him, he will not hesitate to cut it down before the opponent attacks, and if he is facing a beautiful, weak and stubborn little thing with beautiful fur, and at the same time can't hurt it, what should he do? What should I do?

He never doubted that he was a rational and decisive person.

But it was the first time for Senju Tobema to encounter an enemy that bothered him so much in this way.

At the moment when he was in trouble, the catlike girl looked at him angrily for a moment, then looked away.

"I want the tambourine over there."

Hearing what she said, he froze for a moment.

"Did you hear that, go buy me a tambourine over there, now."

Cheng pointed to somewhere outside.

Feijian came back to his senses, he didn't intend to question the other party's request, and activated the Clone Body Technique without delay. Another Feijian appeared in the smoke, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared among the branches and leaves.

"...Divided body skills."

She whispered to herself.

"How cunning."

"This is for..."

"I know."

She didn't let him go on.

At this time, Cheng had put away his emotions and became calm again.

In front of the maids and other entourage, she made herself look like a proud princess in order to successfully complete the commission, but for Hibima, she deliberately acted arrogant, just to retaliate for his offense when they first met That's all.

"When accepting a commission, a ninja should put the task first. No matter what kind of ninja, this is a universally recognized principle... But when I was separated from my family, I made an oath to myself that I must be with my family again. They reunite."

Cheng looked back at the market.

"Although in this entrustment, the two are lucky to coincide... However, I may not be compatible with you."

"..."

Thousands of hands said between the doors.

"It's often hard for me to imagine that you were born into a ninja."

——"As a ninja, you are completely disqualified."

"Not just poor combat capability and mission awareness."

She must have never fought in the battlefield.

It didn't take much effort to draw such a conclusion.

However, in such an era, how could a person like her be born?

In the world seen by Tomona, it is not that there are no children who lack ninja talent, but no one still has the energy to give them extra mercy, so they are quickly crushed by the battlefield, and then disappear quietly.

——Tokaima, whose fault is this?

His elder brother Senju Hashirama asked him this sentence.

In the end, Hashirama decided that it was the times that made the mistake, so he chose the path of changing the world by himself.

Feijian couldn't live up to his brother's idealism, he didn't think he had enough strength to fight against the times... So Qianshou Feijian had to keep thinking, thinking in the tens of thousands of unstoppable torrents, Is there a slight possibility of leading to the light.

In any case, they agreed on at least one thing.

That is, the children who died were themselves necessarily not the wrong party.

"However, I don't think that you have done anything wrong."

He told the girl in front of him.

At this time, his avatar came back, and after placing the tambourine beside Cheng, Tomona lifted the ninjutsu.

When he met her, Tomona hadn't discovered where the turning point that could turn the situation around was located.

but.

She is like an ideal projection, or a fragment of a dream.

She made the world Tomona pursued suddenly take on a concrete shape.

Therefore, he didn't want this meager ray of light to disappear too soon.

So, by chance, like Cheng, Senju Tomona's personal wish coincided with her mission as a ninja.

After all, the original intention was to send the other party away. Cheng actually had no interest in the tambourine. She picked up the tambourine and looked at it for a while, then quickly put it aside.

Cheng raised her head, and saw the branches that were about to reach the window, because the white flowers on the branches were in clusters, which looked very beautiful, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pick it, but she only found it when she raised her arm halfway. That branch is still too far away from me, if I want to pick it, I have to lean out...

Cheng suddenly heard the sound of metal colliding with the ground, she looked back, the young man took off the long knife for the first time and put it on the ground.

What happened afterwards, just like the first meeting between the two, caught Cheng by surprise.

His shadow flitted past her like a wind carrying snow.

Tobima borrowed strength from the nearest branches and reached the highest point of the tree in an instant.Cheng opened her eyes wide, watching the wind that once made her feel icy hovering briskly over the top of the tree for a short time, and then returned to her side.

He retrieved his long knife from the door, and slowly put it in his waist. At the same time, with his other hand, he placed the white flower at the highest place on the window sill.

I don't want you to disappear like those kids.

I will not hurt you.

Believe me.

Tobima didn't say these words to her.

However, Cheng finally picked up the gift of silence.

"Thank you."

She lowered her gaze and said to him.

In the eyes that reflect the flowers, even the light in the eyes will become gentle.
