[Naruto] It turns out you are the tail end of the crane

The weather in late summer is always changeable.

It was obviously hot and unbearable when we first set out for the mission, and the sun was blazing. In the blink of an eye, the sky became gloomy, dark clouds spread, and the air was filled with thick humidity.

It looks like it's going to rain soon.

Nakashimadai looked up at the sky and shouted to three students in the distance who were carefully picking up trash: "Everyone, it looks like it's going to rain."

The four people hurried to the client's house and stood huddled together in the narrow corridor to take shelter from the rain, fearing that the rain would splash on them.

The strong wind was mixed with scattered raindrops, which fell on the roof tiles. After a while, the heavy rain weaved a net on the sky, covering everything in the world.

The water droplets dripping from the eaves formed a straight line and splashed on the low-lying grass.

No one spoke, there was only the sound of rain falling between heaven and earth.

A dull atmosphere spread among the four of them.

Nakajima Dai didn't like this atmosphere. He cleared his throat, trying to break the silent atmosphere by chatting.

He looked at the pouring rain and told his story to his students: "It was also a rain like this that made me meet her..."

Unfortunately, he didn't get the response he imagined.

His three students were already in a daze.

Yuzuye stared at one place intently, without any reaction to his words, and her whole person exuded a "don't come near me" aura.

Hua Ye is in a similar state and has probably gone to her fantasy country to save the world.

Tachibana huddled up to the side with a cold face. He raised his eyes and looked at Nakashimaro, but he hesitated to speak.

Nakajima:……

As expected, he still wanted to replace some chatty students!

He coughed, smashed the jar, and said straightforwardly: "I'm getting married."

After a moment of suffocating silence.

"Ah, then first of all, congratulations to the teacher."

Yuzuha, who was closest to him, was the first to react. She smiled sincerely at Nakajima Dai.

The remaining two people also came to their senses one after another and congratulated him.

The atmosphere finally relaxed due to Nakajima Dai's efforts.

"Oh, it's actually still early. The wedding is scheduled for the last day of this year. Remember to come and have a drink." Nakajima made a shy gesture, but his tone was pleasant.

Hua Ye looked serious: "I remember, Konoha has regulations, minors are not allowed to drink."

"It's okay, teacher will help you cover up," Nakajimayo said disapprovingly and calmly spread his hands, "Just don't tell others."

"But the parents will definitely find out!" Tachibana couldn't help complaining.

"Hahaha, that's right. I remember that the Hinata family has always been very strict with their children."

As he spoke, the rain gradually subsided and finally stopped.

The dark clouds as heavy as lead dissipated, revealing a few beams of bright sunshine. The wet grass blades exuded a faint bright color under the refraction of the light.

"Teacher, your wife, is she also a ninja?"

"No, she is an ordinary person."

……

Nakajima’s efforts were not without results.

The Third Hokage finally paid attention to them!

"For such a team with excellent results, it's time for you to go out and practice." The Third Hokage glanced at the four people standing in a row, took a puff of cigarette, and said in deep thought: "Well... there happens to be an escort commission here. The human task is entrusted to you, and you must complete it seriously."

"Yes!" Nakashimadai stepped forward and solemnly took the mission scroll from Lord Hokage's hand.

The three people behind him looked at each other very calmly and smiled.

Yuye secretly curled up the corners of her mouth, hiding the joy in her heart calmly.

When she returned home, she could no longer suppress her excitement, rushed to Mingshu and giggled at him.

Mingshu sat quietly in the corridor, reading "The Tale of Bamboo" attentively. When she interrupted him, the book almost slipped from his hands.

"What's wrong, are you so happy?" He definitely couldn't stand reading anymore, so Mingshu simply closed the book.

Yu Ye smiled silently, with a bright look of joy on her eyebrows.

He raised his eyebrows, stopped his sister who was about to pounce on him with one hand, and guessed: "Could it be that Yu Ye finally got rid of the fate of pulling weeds?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw his sister nodding vigorously, and her dark eyes instantly turned into little stars.

"Although it's not yet time for S-level missions, but..." Yuzuha said seriously, "However, I am very satisfied to be able to receive C-level missions earlier than other classes."

"That's good." Mingshu said.

After a pause, he said with some regret: "It turns out that Yuzuye has grown up without knowing it."

Yuye sat down next to him and followed his example and sighed: "Yes, time flies so fast."

Ming Shu was dumbfounded by her and had no choice but to remain silent.

"By the way, brother, my teacher is getting married soon," Yuzuha tugged on Mingshu's sleeve and asked, "What kind of gift should I give him?"

Mingshu's eyes wandered around her body, and then returned to the "Tales of Bamboo". He put his hand on his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he murmured: "This... I really need to think about it carefully. "

"Why don't you go to Granny Cat to catch two kittens and give them to him!" Yuye suddenly made a fist with one hand and smashed it into the palm of the other hand. She thought she was extremely smart and nodded, "What do you think, brother?"

"Not at all!" Mingshu raised his hand and rewarded her with a fried chestnut, "That's the ninja cat of the Uchiha clan, don't even think about it."

Being choked by him, Yuzu could only cover her head and silently pursed her lips.

"Nakajima-senpai, are you planning to hold the ceremony tomorrow?" Mingshu couldn't help but soften his voice. He looked at Yuzuha and said slowly: "If not, Yuzuha should go ahead and prepare the things he will take with him when setting off tomorrow. Bar."

Yuye nodded and suddenly moved closer to him. She tilted her head and showed a mysterious and dangerous smile.

Mingshu felt a chill on his back, and even the stuffy air felt a bit colder.

The last time I saw this kind of smile was when Yuzuha was a kid and was cheating on her for toys.

as predicted……

"Brother, you seem to be about the same age as the teacher. Why don't you have someone you like?"

"..." Mingshu frowned.

He cast his eyes on the cherry blossom tree with green leaves in the courtyard. Distant memories swept over him. He suddenly felt a splitting headache, a dull pain in his chest, and an itch in his throat. Rise up.

Something seems to be coming out with blood.

Time stretched infinitely in his eyes, as if a long time had passed, and yet it seemed as if only a moment had passed. Mingshu suppressed the pain, took a deep breath, and spoke with difficulty: "...No."

He disguised himself so well, and because he didn't get much sunlight in the first place, Yuzuye subconsciously ignored his pale face.

Seeing Mingshu's lack of interest, Yuzuye stopped asking. She stood up and straightened out the wrinkles on her clothes, "Then I'll go pack things."

Mingshu lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he reached out and opened the book in his hand.

As soon as he touched the cover, a feeling of boredom arose in his heart. He threw the book out irritably and lay down on the corridor.

Memories came flooding back with painful memories.

The raging itching in his throat flooded his whole body like a tide. Mingshu was worried about his sister in the room, so he covered his mouth desperately to prevent himself from making any sound.

After a moment, he looked up at the blue sky, his eyes showing neither sadness nor joy.

……

The next day, when it was just dawn, Yuye went out in high spirits.

It was still very early, and the door curtain with the Uchiha clan crest was swaying in the wind. In the clan area, only the guards who were conducting a few handovers were chatting in low voices. When they saw Yuye, they raised their hands to greet her.

"It's Xiaoyouye, are you going out on a mission?"

Yuye stopped and replied with a smile: "Yes, it's my first time to go out to the village to do a mission."

"Then keep going." The guard crossed his arms and nodded to her happily.

"Ah."

Yuzuha waved goodbye to the guards and slowly walked towards the gate of Konoha Village. The tribe's land was a bit far away from the gate. When she arrived, the other three people including the client were all here.

The client is a beautiful girl. She has long, thick black hair, a hairpin on her temples, and a gorgeous skirt that meanders to the floor. The pearls embroidered on the cuffs are round and plump, and they look beautiful on Xiwei's face. There was a faint luster in the morning light.

Not to mention the strong fragrance of makeup and powder on her body.

It is said that she is a daimyo princess from an unknown country, and is called "Crane Princess".

As for why there is no maidservant around the princess, the princess's answer is - who likes people to monitor her, she went out to play alone.

I'm afraid he sneaked out to play behind his family's back.

Yu Ye's face was expressionless.

When she saw Tsuruhime's outfit, her eyelids twitched again. She leaned closer to Nakashimaro and complained softly: "Teacher, didn't you try to persuade her?"

Nakajimayo reluctantly said "haha" twice.

How could he not say it?

As a highly professional ninja, he immediately gave the princess what he thought was a pertinent suggestion.

But unexpectedly, the princess immediately looked at him arrogantly and said to him word by word: "Don't you say that the ninjas of the Land of Fire are very strong? Why can't they even protect a weak woman like me? What if? If you are strong enough, why should you dictate what clothes I wear?"

Nakajima is a salaried ninja, so what right does he have to say "no" to others?

Yuye:......

She racked her brains but couldn't come up with a single word of rebuttal.

Hanaye and Tachibana were obviously not sensitive to such a client. One of them stood aside in silence, slightly raising his head and looking at the sky, while the other hid his figure behind Nakajima's behind.

Nakajima shrugged and smiled helplessly at the three people.

When it was time to set off, Tachibana let out a "swoosh" and ran faster than anyone else, and Yuba and Ka Ye followed suit.

Nakajima Dai followed behind them, telling them to slow down while also distracting himself from looking after this delicate client.

However, he didn't take a few steps when the accident happened.

He Ji's somewhat panicked voice came over: "Wait a minute, one of my pearls has fallen."

The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken. Several birds living in the forest were frightened by her sharp voice, and they flapped their wings and flew to higher places in panic.

Nakajima&Yuzuha&Kaaya&Tachibana:......

Aren't you a princess?

What does a pearl mean?

Come to think of it, no one would really say that in front of her, after all, they gave her a generous commission fee.

After searching for a long time, the "missing pearl" was finally picked up by Yuye.

From the corner of his eye, he could even see Nakashimayo breathing a sigh of relief.

That pearl was indeed rounder and smoother than the other pearls, and it glowed a rather charming purple color in the sunlight.

But in fact, from a distance, it doesn't look much different from the ordinary pearls on her sleeves.

Tsuruhime happily took the pearl from Yuzuha's hand and solemnly took it into her arms and kept it away.

After doing all this, she casually grabbed a few pearls from her sleeves and handed them to Nakajima, with a sincere tone: "Thank you for helping me find it. Let these pearls be considered as your reward."

Nakashimadai declined vigorously: "Ah, no, this is what we should do."

He Ji didn't care. She pushed the pearl into Nakajima Dai's hand, and her eyebrows stood up: "If you don't hold it, I won't leave."

Nakajima Dai: "..."

He had no choice but to accept the tip in tears.

……

In order to avoid falling into war, Nakajima Dai specially chose a route for them away from the battlefield.

This road is indeed relatively peaceful. In addition to He Ji causing trouble, there will also be a few unscrupulous little ninjas popping up from time to time along the way. Others are not worth mentioning and there are a few bandits who want to steal the treasure.

Ninjas and bandits are easy to deal with.

The trouble caused by He Ji is very trivial.

For example: "My skirt is dirty and I really want to change it."

For example: "I want to take a shower."

For example: "My feet hurt when I walk."

Another example: "I don't want to go this way. It's so dark and I'm afraid."

Etc., etc.

This kind of thing can happen several times a day, and even happens alternately and in turn. Nakajimayo, who had a good temper, was so depressed that his face was distorted.

After being once again slowed down by the extremely squeamish princess and refused to use the ox cart, Nakajima was furious. He carried Tsuruhime on his back without saying a word in full view of everyone.

Tsuruji:? !

The girl who had lived in peace for a long time was suddenly restrained and her back was frightened. She began to struggle: "Let me go! I am, I am a princess!"

Faced with the princess's accusation, Nakajima Dai remained calm and had a heart of stone.

It was made clear that even if the Daimyo came, he could not sway his decision.

He turned a deaf ear to the princess's shrill howl, and with a little tiptoe, he easily jumped onto the branch, performing a set of smooth movements.

The remaining three people also jumped onto the branches at a high speed and followed closely.

Sure enough, once they ignored the princess's nonsensical requests, their speed would be much faster.

As evening approached, they arrived at the border of Bird Country.

The delivery of the task was just around the corner, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Nakajima Dai stood on a high tree with Tsuruhime on his back. After a round of inspection, he chose a clean place to rest.

Hanaya found a flat place to light a fire, while Yuzuha spread her coat on the ground while counting the remaining rations with Tachibana Tai.

Nakashimaro put the girl behind him against the tree with a tired look on his face. He straightened up and wiped his sweat exaggeratedly. When he turned his head, he saw his student showing him a malicious smile.

Nakajima looked confused: "What's wrong with you?"

Yuzuha and Tachibana stood aside silently, just blinking silently.

"We are going to tell Master Mu," Hua Ye said in a low voice, "You and other women..."

Several black lines crossed the back of Nakashimayo's head.

After being stunned, he immediately waved his hands in a hurry, very anxiously: "...Isn't this just to make the mission successfully completed?"

Then, with a straight face for the first time, he said to them seriously: "Don't say anything."
