[Comprehensive Hokage] A pair of wings

The afternoon sun passed through the dense forest, casting a speck on the ground. A butterfly with dead leaves slowly landed on the root of a tree floating on the ground. He woke up the birds that were resting in the nest, but before they realized what had happened, the guy who disturbed the dream had already lost sight of his back.

Sasuke, who was rushing to the destination, recalled the conversation a few hours ago, and was secretly annoyed at the fact that he was led by the nose by Orochimaru.

"What do you want from me, Orochimaru?" Just after training, Sasuke was called to Orochimaru's laboratory before he even had time to take a shower. .

"The daimyo of the Star Country has assigned us a task, and I plan to hand it over to you to complete."Orochimaru's hoarse voice echoed in the empty laboratory.

"I have no obligation to help you complete the task."

As expected, Sasuke refused with a cold face. This child has never had the self-consciousness of relying on others.Orochimaru didn't mean to be angry at all, he snorted and continued the topic he had cut off, "The task assigned this time is to escort the younger sister of the current daimyo of the Star Country - Kagura Ji to get married. Since it is a small country, this daimyo has no If you can invite ninjas from the five major countries, you have to choose a rebellious ninja and mercenary organization like ours, maybe you can get the information you want during this trip."

"...".

"What do you think, Sasuke?"

"Give me the task book".

The golden snake eyes stared closely at Sasuke's back, and Orochimaru showed an inexplicable smile.In the corner, the dry leaves are automatic without wind.

The commissioner of the task is Katori, the new daimyo who took office three years ago in Star Country. The previous monarch was an infatuated man. He only married one wife in his life and had a daughter with him, which is the soon-to-be-married Kagurahime.The current Katori family is the adopted son of the previous generation. It is said that after he took office, he changed the incompetent and incompetent political style of the previous generation. Links with neighboring countries are also growing.In time, this ambitious daimyo might also become the overlord of the Five Great Nations, but at the moment, both this fragile newborn star country and his young master are still too fragile. One of the reasons for marrying that frail daimyo of Tanokuni.

The only daughter in the family must be the jewel in the palm of her parents since she was born. After her adoptive brother succeeds, she will definitely not treat her only blood of her adoptive parents badly. If you think about it, this Kagile Ji should be a simple and ignorant fool who does not know the sufferings of the world. generation.But what did it matter to him?If it weren't for the information about the man he might get, he would never have taken this boring escort mission in a hurry.Unexpectedly, a certain blond and hot-blooded idiot came to mind, Sasuke snorted coldly, and accelerated his walking speed.

As a ninja at the level of Sasuke, he can travel with all his strength, and it only takes half a day to travel from Otonin Village to Star Country.In the evening, when the half-red and half-purple sky was about to be replaced by night, Sasuke rushed to his destination—the Daimyo Mansion in the Land of Stars.

There are some wandering warriors and ninjas gathered in twos and threes at the door, and some of them bear the sign of rebellion.Sasuke glanced casually, and couldn't help cursing himself again for being cheated by Orochimaru.How could such a small country that couldn't afford to invite ninjas from the five major countries invite people who knew the news? It was just a mob.Thinking of this task that would waste at least a month of his practice time, Sasuke almost wanted to leave.

As if sensing Sasuke's restless state of mind, the gate of the Daming Mansion opened, and an elderly man limped out. Judging by his attire, he should be the housekeeper of the Daming Mansion.

"Ten days from today, His Highness Kagura will leave for Tianzhi Country, and please escort me on the way." Although the old man is disabled, he can attack and defend in a standing posture, and his voice is full of spirit, although he can't feel it. However, Sasuke's intuition told him that this old man was a ninja based on the countless actual battles at Orochimaru this year.

The old housekeeper glanced around and continued: "Because Daming Mansion cannot provide accommodation for everyone, please move to a nearby hotel. Of course, the cost of board and lodging will naturally be borne by Daming Mansion, so you can enjoy my stay without hesitation." The dining style of the country of stars".

Sasuke immediately turned around when he heard the words, intending to find a quiet place to practice, but the old man suddenly raised his voice and shouted to him: "The one over there is Lord Sasuke, please stay."

Helplessly, Sasuke paused when he left, and turned back, only to see the imposing old butler who had come behind him at some point, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Do not know at all.Shocked by the old man's unknown strength, Sasuke couldn't help but lose a little anxiety, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

The old man did not put on the airs of a powerful person like Cai just now, but bowed politely, showed an almost kind smile to Sasuke, and said: "Kagura Ji is invited, and I would like to invite Mr. Sasuke to come to the mansion for a detailed discussion."

Sasuke looked sideways at the tall wall beside him, except for a few butterflies flying around the blooming white flowers on the branches of the locust tree protruding from the top of the wall, of course he couldn't see anything.

What could a little princess who is ignorant of the world do to him?Sasuke frowned, but for some reason he didn't choose to refuse.

He was just afraid of the strength of the ninja in front of him. Thinking like this, Sasuke followed the old butler into the Daming Mansion step by step under the surprised or jealous eyes of the others.

The Daming Mansion is where power and money are most concentrated in a country. Even in a small country like the Star Country, the building of the Daming Mansion is extravagant.This is also to prevent ordinary assassins from approaching nobles at will, but this precaution cannot prevent even an ordinary ninja.This is the difference between ordinary people and ninjas, and it is also the reason why the shadows of the villages nominally enjoy the same status as the daimyo.But a ninja, after all, is just a knife in the hands of those in power.

"The so-called ninjas are actually weapons in the hands of adults living in such a mansion."

Sasuke looked in surprise at the old man who had been leading the way silently in front. He was obviously doing his best for these powerful people, but he said such outrageous words.The old man was too lazy to take into account Sasuke's psychological activities, and continued to speak in a calm tone: "No matter how strong the ninja is, with the ability to overturn mountains and seas, if he bites his owner lightly, he will die immediately, and in the end he will be willing to put on a dog leash , How unreasonable it is to be a tamed domestic dog, don’t you think so, Sasuke-sama.”

"...".Some ideas are always extremely dangerous in this era, but Sasuke is not ready to deny that, during the nights of repeated hatred and training countless times, these fragmented thoughts would occasionally flash through his mind, although they would disappear after staying for less than half a moment. Replaced by that man and that bloody night.

The wisteria beside the aisle bloomed extremely gorgeously, and a gust of breeze blew up a few wisteria petals that were spread on the ground, and then fell lightly on the wooden floor.At some point, the sun has completely bid farewell to the earth, and a crescent moon hangs lightly in the night sky, bringing a little light to the travelers.There is a faint scent of Sophora japonica in the air, like grapes that have lost their sour taste.

Sasuke had no intention of opening his mouth, and he had no reason to analyze his thoughts to a stranger he had never met.The old butler didn't care about Sasuke's ignorance, they continued to maintain the silence at the beginning, went around one bend after another, and finally stopped in front of a door with a pattern of Sophora japonica flowers and a few dead leaves.

Sophora japonica surrounds the circle that forms the periphery, and five dead leaves extend from the center to the surroundings, like a blooming dead flower.No, I always feel that there is something inconsistent there.Sasuke carefully observed the dead leaves on the pattern, only to realize that what kind of dead leaves are these, it is clearly a dead leaf nymph!But this kind of pattern is unheard of, it is not a symbol of the great name of Star Country, nor does it belong to any family he knows.

The wind at night gradually became stronger, lifting Sasuke's drooping hair on both sides, and a few living withered leaf butterflies appeared around at some point, as if flying down from the door, they danced with the wind, and the front of the wings was inconspicuous. The camouflage was put away, and the purple-blue dorsal wings shone in the dark night, making it look extraordinarily coquettish and moving.Except for the howling wind, there was no sound around, and Sasuke couldn't help but raise his vigilance due to the weird atmosphere.

Sasuke put his hand on the sliding door and nodded slightly to the old housekeeper: "Thank you."

The old butler showed a kind smile again, Sasuke was startled, he always felt that this situation was full of unknown sense of disobedience.

"You're welcome, my name is Shenmu Sanchuan, and Sasuke-sama will just call me Sanchuan."

Sasuke nodded, didn't say any more, and pulled the door open with all his strength, but found that there was no one inside. The nerves that had been secretly tense before seemed to remind him that something was wrong.However, while the brain was still dealing with the status quo, the combat awareness honed by countless trainings gave a reaction first. The black-haired boy turned around instantly, and at some point he had already held Kunai in his hand. A series of movements flowed like flowing water, as if It has been rehearsed countless times in my mind.

Compared with the weak young bird in the middle ninja exam a year ago, the defected ninja who had to open the curse seal in the valley of the end to fight against Naruto with strange chakra, at this time he undoubtedly grew up with the help of Orochimaru many.At least at this moment, the little boy who is slightly twitching is enough to be dubbed the title of ninja.

Sasuke's pupils shrank suddenly, and in front of his eyes was a beautiful scene that could be imprinted on a picture scroll.The turbulent wind stopped suddenly, and a woman stood in the courtyard, only two or three feet away from him.

The facial features are impeccably exquisite, the snow-white skin almost glows under the moonlight, the gorgeous kimonos are layered on top of each other, and the clogs are on the feet, but the thin back is still straight.The straight black hair was scattered behind her back like silk, the princess cut on both sides and the neatly trimmed bangs on the forehead were blown by the wind and returned to their place obediently.The curled wisteria petals fluttered and fell beside her, and the fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers still wafted in the air. A few dead leaf butterflies from just now were flying up and down around the girl as if walking from a painting. Quietly staring at Sasuke who was on guard all over.Undoubtedly, this person is Kagura Ji.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Sasuke-kun."It was not as soft and melodious as imagined. The girl in front of her lightly opened her thin lips and chanted in an aristocratic tone, but her voice had a gritty texture, almost carrying vicissitudes that did not match her appearance.

"Why does Kaguraji want me?"
