[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

In terms of results, the riot did not bring many casualties, but its impact is obvious.

After arriving in the town, the welcome team from the Kingdom of Thunder immediately took over the mission of protecting the foreign princess.Through the door, Cheng glanced at the verandah illuminated by the lights like daylight, and was not surprised by the tension and vigilance of the guards.

She hesitated for a while, knocked on the window sill, and asked softly.

"are you there?"

After a brief silence, it seemed that the rustling sound of the night wind passing through the dense branches and leaves responded to her, Cheng simply opened the window, and the silver-haired young man was like a bird with its wings folded, carrying the coolness outside, silently. landed.

Before the other party asked her, Cheng explained her request.

"I still have some questions about the attack during the day, I think you may have found more clues than me... So, can I share the information with you?"

Tokaima looked out the window, confirmed once again that there was nothing unusual, and turned his gaze back to the girl.

"Okay," he said, "I have something I want to know about you, too."

They sat down facing each other.

"First of all, regarding the identity of today's attacker..."

"Should not be from the Kingdom of Thunder."

Reminiscing between the doors.

"Although I don't wear the family emblem on my body, in terms of the ninjutsu and combat habits used, it is closer to the ninjas who live around the land of the land."

"If it is a ninja hired by the land of land, and wants to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries by assassinating the princess, it makes sense from the motive."

Cheng lowered his head in thought.

"Could it be that the Kingdom of Thunder really didn't move..."

"it's not true."

Fujian denied.

"The ninjas who participated in the assassination today, besides the team that fought me head-on, and one of the entourage hidden in the entourage, there is actually one... No, I can't be sure that the other party is here for the assassination." He frowned, "I I don’t know if he has been following us since we entered the country... The other party kept a considerable distance, concealed his breath very well, and left decisively when he realized that I had discovered him.”

"Being able to judge your actions so quickly, the other party is probably a perception ninja." She continued to speculate, "His purpose seems to be closer to...surveillance?"

She stopped suddenly and looked at Fei Jian.

"The one being monitored is 'Princess'...it's me." Cheng said, "The other party retreated so simply, other than because you noticed...ah, the reason why you were noticed may be because you have completed the task, Considering that you can evacuate at any time, that is to say—”

"Some things happened during the assassination convinced the other party that it was no longer worth risking to continue monitoring." Tomona said lightly, "For example...the other party thought that if a ninja disguised as a princess, she would not be able to face Indifferent to such a critical moment - if she has the ability to get out of it."

Cheng was slightly relieved.

"In that case, the entrustment can be regarded as..."

"Do you think it's okay to die?"

The door interrupted her.

"Or are you quite sure you won't die there?"

Cheng stared at his face, from his focused expression, she knew that the other party's question was not for the purpose of ridicule, his doubts were purely just doubts.

"I have reasons why I must not die here." She replied, "So, I am indeed afraid of death."

"At the same time, I'm not convinced that you will be able to escape from the battle on the other side in time."

"Then why-"

"I'm not so naive if I stick to the agreement... In fact, if I'm absolutely sure that I won't be rescued, I will find a way to protect myself."

She laughed.

"It's just that I have my own judgment on how far to keep the promise, but because you are the one who made the promise..."

Cheng paused.

"Because it's you, I think I might be able to last as long as I can."

"..."

Tobira raised his hand, as if wanting to touch her face, and stretched out towards her... Then, he stopped in his memory, where the blade was hovering at that time.

"I'm enough to make you think..." he said, "it doesn't matter if it's only this little distance from death?"

"Do not."

As she said, she gently held the fingers between the doors and pushed them forward a little.

This change is barely visible, but it is there.

"My limit is here."

Surprise appeared in the red pupils between the doors.

She raised her eyes, and what was reflected in her eyes at this moment was not the blade, but her own figure.

"In any case, the result wasn't too bad—but it's a remarkable teleportation technique that you managed to get back in such a short time."

Feijian looked at her quietly, and after a long while, he opened his mouth.

"That's an unfinished technique."

He originally planned to keep this ninjutsu secret from anyone before it was completed, let alone tell someone who couldn't even exchange names.

And now, he knew what he was talking about.

"I named it Flying Thunder God."

Senshou Feima tends to face others and the world rationally, but this does not mean that he is a cold person.

His strength allows him to be alone in many things, but sometimes he chooses to use this strength to shoulder some things that only the strong can bear.

Just like his ideals.

What he was doing now, perhaps like his ideals, and her trust, would be considered unnecessary to survive in this world.

However, here's another miraculous coincidence --

Among the thousands of people who drift with the tide, they are so stubborn that they are unwilling to give up the part of themselves that is out of tune with the world.

Even, among these thousands of people, they met.

"After this technique is completed, it can achieve instant movement regardless of distance through a specific technique." He said, "Just like the situation at the time... But so far, it consumes too much Chakra and physical energy No, it has no practical value in combat."

Finally, when the leaf touched the girl's sleeve lightly, a pattern flashed where he touched it, and then disappeared.

"I left the same spell in the carriage."

He raised his head and looked at her.

"So, no matter where I am, I can return to you immediately."

Cheng couldn't help touching the place where the spell was left. For a moment, she almost wanted to call the other person's name...

It seemed that in the next second, she found that there was nothing in the drawer she had opened, and Cheng quickly remembered the positions of the two of them.

So she just smiled and said.

"Thank you."

She knew very well that there was no need for him to tell herself this, not only because it might be unwise to reveal his abilities to someone who was not familiar enough, but more importantly...

"However, you probably won't have a chance to use this spell again." She rolled up her sleeves, "By tomorrow...no, today, your commission will be completed."

Unlike Cheng, according to Tobima's commission, after confirming that the princess has been escorted to the Land of Thunder and handed over to the client, his mission is over.

"In my case, there are still some necessary procedures to be completed. After that, I will leave here under the pretense of dying of a sudden illness, and leave here with the support personnel arranged in advance in the Kingdom of Thunder."

Having said that, both of them fell silent.

"After dawn, we probably won't have the opportunity to talk like we do now... So, we can only talk now if we have something to say."

Cheng glanced out the window, and the sky there was already faintly shrouded in a halo.

"Wait until the next time we meet, if it's a time to exchange each other's names."

She withdrew her gaze, and then looked at him with a gaze as clear as Chenhui.

"Goodbye."

For the two of them, "goodbye" seems to be an overly optimistic word in this situation...

However, in a certain corner of my heart, Tobuma didn't want this to be a farewell.

If we meet again.

Please--

It was a seed that appeared quietly because of meeting her.

At the moment it is still curled up in the ground, but presumably it only needs an opportunity to grow unstoppably.

...Then, let's assume that will be the time of reunion.

Therefore, Tokama said.

"Goodbye."

At dawn, Cheng received the news that an important figure from the Land of Thunder had arrived.

She began grooming early on for her meeting with the important person.When Cheng was surrounded by maids and walked through the corridor, Cheng saw the figure of the young man from a distance.

She knew that the other party didn't like to stay in a conspicuous place for a long time, and his arrival at this moment probably meant the final farewell.

Because she couldn't stay in the corridor, Cheng nodded slightly to him, and when she walked to the corner and glanced there from the corner of her eye, the other party had already left.

Although the time we spent together was not very long, and when I recalled that person in the future, I didn't even have the exact name...but Cheng still felt a little bit of melancholy caused by the separation.

It's not the right time to be blues, though.

Cheng, who was led to the reception room, thought about this, and after sorting out her mood, she pushed open the door.

Seeing the people waiting there, Cheng slightly opened his eyes wide.

"You are--"

"It's me, Miss Uchiha."

The person staying there was not someone from the Land of Thunder, but Cheng's client. She remembered that he was a samurai of the Daimyo of the Fire Land.

"The General of the Land of Thunder who came to welcome the princess will arrive soon." He said, "Before that, let me explain to you your last mission in this commission."

"Master Qianshou, this commission has been confirmed to be completed here."

Tobima handed the power of attorney to the other party, and the other party stamped a special seal on the blank space, which symbolized the completion of the transaction, and returned it to him.

"So……"

"and many more."

Tomona knew that it would be redundant to be curious about parts other than the mission, and to explore it, but he still asked this question that he had always cared about.

"Why did the original princess commit suicide?"

"This one……"

The handover showed a troubled expression, he looked back subconsciously, and followed his gaze... Although there was a long distance between them, it seemed to be the direction where the princess... the girl was.

"Since the matter has come to this point, it doesn't matter if I tell you." He said, "Princess Qingzi and the general's son are in love, so I don't want to..."

"Don't want to make a kiss?"

"it's not true."

Unexpectedly, the transfer person denied his speculation.

"She doesn't want her lover to be involved in the war again."

He showed a little pity.

"After all, Princess Qingzi also knows that the essence of this marriage is just—"

"what do you mean……?"

"Things should start from the beginning."

The client put down the teacup in his hand.

"About a year ago, because the country of fire could not take care of the domestic turmoil, the country of fire temporarily ended its disputes with neighboring countries... The daimyo was very dissatisfied with this, but it was a last resort, after all, even among nobles and staff There are also voices against the successive years of war—then, not long ago, in order to launch a war against the Land of Earth, the Land of Thunder asked the daimyo for an alliance in the name of marriage...then, the daimyo thought that this was a good opportunity."

As he spoke, a strange look appeared on his face.

"Very close to the border with the Land of Fire, within the Land of Thunder, there is a vein of rare ore...near here."

Cheng stood up suddenly, but before she could go to the exit, a group of warriors with swords rushed in first, half surrounded her, and blocked her way.

Cheng was forced step by step back into the courtyard.

After seeing the scene around the courtyard clearly, her movements stopped instantly.

"Everything is just right, we only need a reason to start war that can make the ignorant commoners and the nobles who disagree—"

The client walked out behind the warrior team and closed the door behind his backhand.

"Isn't it fair to exchange a precious princess for a precious mine?"

Cheng raised his head, and densely packed archers surrounded the courtyard from above.

If those full bows were to shoot their arrows together, even the sunlight would be blocked for a while in this cramped space deliberately chosen as the place of his burial.

Although it seems a bit out of place, this is indeed the thought that crossed Cheng's mind at that moment.

As before, she spent a period of thinking that no one else could feel, but even so, she still didn't find even the slightest possibility of survival.

A sharp whistle sounded, followed by the sound of repeated bowstrings.

Can't really see the sun.

When the rain of arrows came towards her, Cheng thought.

She kept her eyes open all the time, as if she was silently resisting the ending of "this is the end"...

If not.

If she closes her eyes.

Probably won't see the moment of blood splatter.

The light of the knife flashed, and countless arrows fell to the ground, while the rest of the arrows that were difficult to defend were blocked by the silver-haired youth with his body.

It took Cheng some time to distinguish whose blood was splashed on his face, this may be because Tobima's embrace was too close, their heartbeat and body temperature almost blended together.

Then, she saw the arrows stuck in the young man's shoulders, and the archers starting the second round of replenishment and gaining momentum.

"...you go."

She whispered in the other's ear, and slowly let go of her hand.

"If only you were alone..."

"Hold me tight."

He interrupted her.

Senshou Feima knows that launching two imperfect Flying Thunder Gods in a row has a high probability of depleting chakra, but now this is the only way for both of them to retreat unscathed.

What's more, the girl in his arms wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and once again chose to believe him——

The second wave of arrow rain landed.

However, whether it is a ninja or a princess, there is no one there.

They were transferred to an unfamiliar place, she could only confirm that it was a dark and narrow cave.

"This is within the land of fire, and the nearest town is not a short distance away."

Feijian leaned against the stone wall, grabbed the arrow body on his arm and pulled it out.

However, even this little thing took its toll on an exhausted man.

"Ugh..."

The girl lying on his chest tried hard to prop up her body.

Cheng, who has personally experienced the future S-level space ninjutsu, is not feeling well at this time. The unfinished Flying Thunder God does not have the stability in the future, which naturally brings a great burden to her already weak physique.

But whether it's dizziness or pain, it doesn't matter anymore. The most important thing now is to deal with the opponent's injury first.

"do not move……"

She said in a low voice, holding the arrow on Toizam's shoulder with both hands.

The latter obeyed her words and just watched her movements quietly.

Cheng has a deep understanding of his lack of strength. In the era when most people still use cold weapons to fight, this will become an important flaw for a healer.

She didn't want to cause the other party too much pain, so she felt a little nervous... Cheng clenched her hands tightly and exerted a sudden force, the arrow was pulled out smoothly, and the bleeding was not too serious.

She tried to mobilize her chakra, but the aftereffect of the space transfer made her chakra mess up in the meridians, so she simply gave up ninjutsu.

"It's going to be a bit slower than medical ninjutsu, but..."

Cheng raised his face and hugged Toikama, the pure healing power flowed from the place where the skin touched, and Toikama found the unique itching feeling of recovery from the wound.

"There is no chakra fluctuation...?" He closed his eyes, feeling the changes in the wound, "Is this a kind of blood inheritance limit?"

"Almost so."

She hesitated for a moment, then continued.

"you……"

Fei Jian suddenly opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to press her into his arms.

"someone is coming."

His voice was light.

"It's a ninja."

Cheng immediately understood the situation.

At present, both of them need to avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible, and the probability of meeting other ninjas in the wild is much higher than the other situation.

"Listen, if you encounter an enemy in a situation that is not suitable for combat, and you are still in the dark..."

Toikama was almost speaking with a slight vibration of breath.

"Don't be afraid, try to maintain a calm heart rate and breathing..."

He felt that the girl's slightly disorganized breathing just now quickly returned to normal after several adjustments.

"For many sensory ninjas, it is a common problem to rely too much on chakra induction, so it is not easy to find ordinary people when they are not focused enough... If you want to kill them, you have to shoot at the moment when chakra is running -"

"coming."

Both of them tensed up slightly, with one hand protecting the girl, and the other reaching into the ninja bag.

He suppressed his own chakra fluctuations to the minimum, sensing the opponent's approach... When he passed the cave, the opponent did not stop, and then his chakra gradually moved away.

"never mind……"

Probably because of another high level of concentration, Tomona felt more exhausted and exhausted.

Cheng left his embrace and let him lie flat on his back.

Both looked a little embarrassed, but the blood on Cheng's body came from the other person.

The wound between the leaves is already quite shallow, and for him now, physical strength and chakra depletion are the main problems... But regarding these, it only takes a few hours to recover, and it will no longer be an annoyance.

"Do you remember?"

Hearing the other party's voice, Tomona opened his eyes.

"When I said goodbye, I said that I hope to tell you your name when we meet next time."

The girl's eyes smiled.

"It's not the first time we've met, but—"

"I'm Cheng."

she says.

Cheng.

Tomona repeated the name in her heart.

"...I haven't heard of this name among familiar ninjas."

He whispered to himself.

Whether it was Sarutobi, Shimura, or other ninjas, he had never heard of a girl with this name before.

Because of exhaustion, his consciousness began to blur.

Feijian vaguely remembered that he also seemed to have had some special thoughts when they were parting.

At that time he thought...

If we meet again.

Please tell me your name.

And now he knows that she is called "Cheng".

After that...

He didn't have the time to think about it any further, but before he passed out, Qianshou Feijian really felt something coming.

It is the thunder that makes the earth tremble, and it seems to be just a light rain.

In short, a seed has been awakened.

Cheng didn't sleep.

After Chakra returned to normal, she went outside for a while.

Cheng launched Sharingan, a gray bird accidentally made eye contact with her, and then flapped its wings and flew somewhere.

Afterwards, Cheng returned to the cave.

She waited there for a long time.

When it was about to fall into the night, Cheng thought for a while, took out a kunai from the ninja bag in Tokaima, cut off the sleeve of the other party who had performed the spell, and folded it beside him.

"……correct."

Cheng suddenly remembered.

"Did you, haven't told me your name yet..."

At this moment, Cheng noticed the sound of footsteps outside.

She looked out quickly, then smiled.

"We'll have to wait until next time." She whispered, "Goodbye."

Cheng walked out quickly, and under the reflection of the moonlight, she saw the person she had missed all these days.

"spot……"

Cheng, who was suddenly hugged, was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was checking his injuries.

"It's okay, it's not my blood."

"... what happened?"

Uchiha Madara didn't let her go because of Cheng's explanation. On the contrary, his voice was still calm, but his hands were slightly hard.

Cheng closed his eyes and leaned meekly on his shoulder.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"Who is with you..."

"spot."

Cheng interrupted his questioning.

"Let's go back."

She tiptoed and put her arms around his neck.

"I miss Senna."

"..."

Madara lowered her eyes and lifted the girl up.

"it is good."

He understood Cheng's intentions...but so what.

At this moment, she was standing in front of her, and none of those terrible and cruel things happened to her.

"Cheng."

Nothing is more important than that.

"go home."
