[Comprehensive Hokage] A pair of wings

Early the next morning, Kagura woke up and looked around the room. The dead leaf butterfly hadn't come back yet, so it seemed that things hadn't made any progress.

The girl washed up a bit, and put on a light blue kimono top, with long sleeves hanging down to her thighs, and the pattern of the Otowa clan on the back; her lower body was wearing a dark brown Iga hakama, with long black hair. Her hair was braided behind her back, and she wore fingerless black gloves on her hands.If you don't observe carefully, everyone will regard her as an ordinary little girl.

After tidying himself up, Kagura pushed open the door and prepared to go for a walk in the street. While finishing his breakfast, he also saw if he could get some extra information with good luck.

Before leaving, she glanced at the door of Sanchuan's room - the master seemed to have no intention of going out at all, she pursed her lips, and finally chose to leave it alone, and went to the street alone.

Although the Land of Winds is one of the Five Great Nations, two years ago it experienced the blow of the four generations of Kazekage being killed, and its military power has declined among the Five Great Nations. It is no wonder that the daimyo is so careful to protect the news about the newly discovered iron ore .

But walking on the street, the civilians in this country don't seem to be affected by the previous disaster.In the early morning, the shops on both sides have already been patronized by many people, and the prosperity is still there.

Kagura strolled comfortably on the street, looking for the shop she wanted, and suddenly, a small restaurant attracted her attention.The restaurant seemed to have just been renovated, the dark red paint on the surface was very new, and the fiery red desert roses were carefully planted around the hut by the owner, revealing their unyielding stubbornness in the extremely hot summer heat.But what really attracted her was the menu vaguely seen from outside the door. The first line read - Chinese Wonton.

The girl walked into the restaurant, sat down in a dead corner near the corner, and said to the waiter who came to ask, "Excuse me, a wonton".

"A serving of ravioli".

The two voices overlapped, and Kagura poked her head in surprise, just in time to see Sasuke push the door and walk in.The black-haired boy saw the girl waving to him, walked straight towards her, and sat opposite the girl.

"I really didn't expect that we would eat wontons in a completely different place after more than a year." Kagura tasted the familiar taste on the tip of his tongue, and glanced at the back kitchen, "and it's still made by the same person."

"Ah", Sasuke slowly finished bowl after bowl of wonton. The morning light came into the restaurant from the window, casting a layer of golden light on the boy's side face.

Kagura carefully looked at the person in front of him, and found that at some point, the frailty of a boy on Sasuke's face had completely disappeared, replaced by a youthful innocence and a frivolous contempt for the world.But when the indifferent boy chewed his food seriously and his cheeks puffed up, the girl couldn't help but sigh with emotion—no matter how precocious she seemed because of her own experience, she was still a 15-year-old child.

"Did I get something on my face?" He kept staring at his face.

"No, I just feel like I haven't seen Sasuke for a long time, and I miss it a little bit." Kagura swallowed the last wonton, mouthing a little as usual.

"...", the black-haired boy's ears turned red inexplicably, he quickly finished the wontons under his command, wiped the corners of his mouth, "Thank you for the hospitality."

The black-haired girl put on a mischievous smile, and from the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw her psychic beast jumping up and down outside the window, trying to get her attention.Kagura opened the window slightly, allowing the withered leaf butterfly to fly in and rest on her index finger.

Kagura showed a satisfied smile on the screen passed over, and she said to Sasuke who was paying the bill: "You have found what you want, and tonight just because of Daimyo's birthday, the guards around Hosokawa will be dispersed to the greatest extent. He who went to the Daming Mansion to attend the banquet and the mansion are two places."

Sasuke immediately replied: "Go back and make a battle plan, and act tonight."

Kagura said to the withered leaf butterfly in the air: "Withered leaf butterfly, you go back to the base first and call Mikawa over."

Watching the withered leaf butterfly get out of the window and fly towards the direction of the stronghold, the two got up and walked towards Sasuke's hotel.

……

The hotel, Xianglin and Sanchuan have all gathered.

"According to the message from the withered leaf butterfly, Hosokawa will leave the mansion at six o'clock. He always carries the scroll that records the information of the Iron Kingdom with him. At the same time, there is a jonin who will protect him in the dark; and the guards who stay in the mansion There is no Jnin-level existence, and I can sneak in easily with my concealment ability."

"Then let's split up. Xianglin and I intercepted the scroll on the way, and you go to the mansion to get what you want." Sasuke pondered for a while, and said what he thought was the best way to fight.

"Why don't I let Sanchuan go with you, sneaking is my best thing, Sanchuan's presence or absence doesn't matter much, it's better to add a combat power to your side, Xianglin should not be a fighting ninja either", Kagura couldn't help but suggest.

"Hey, what do you mean, even if I don't have combat power, I won't be of much help in the battle, okay? Compared to me, that old man with a foot on your side is better than me. Maybe it will hold Sasuke back!" Xiang Phosphorus retorted excitedly.

"Patriarch, I don't agree either. Except for your speed advantage, your own combat ability is only average. If you encounter unexpected situations and cannot protect yourself, I can't leave!" Sanchuan also disapproved.

Sasuke finally made a final decision, "Just follow the plan I said, just one Junin, I am enough", his tone was flat but full of confidence, and his sinking eyes seemed to silently appease Kagura.

Kagura looked at everyone and found that the rest of them agreed, and finally compromised helplessly: "I understand, let's do it this way."

Several people discussed the details of the battle again. Kagura and Sanchuan bid farewell to Sasuke and Karin, and returned to their stronghold.

……

As the sun was setting, Hosokawa went out of the mansion and took the carriage to Daming Mansion.

"I didn't expect that this woman's strength is not very good, and the news is really accurate," Xiang Lin muttered.

At this time, a group of four people were sitting on the second floor of the tavern diagonally opposite the Daming Mansion, with a clear view of the street below.Sasuke looked at the receding carriage and nodded at Kagura, "I'll take a step first."

"Be careful in everything, I wish you good luck." Kagura's hoarse voice was like a guitar played in the afternoon, dispelling the impatience and calming down Sasuke's overly tense nerves.

"Ah, you too", after finishing speaking, the figures of the boy and Xiang Lin disappeared in the restaurant.

Staring at the sinking red sun, Kagura tasted the tea in his hand unhurriedly, and waited silently with Mikawa for the dark time, which was her time.

A few ten minutes later, the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon. With the soft sound of "da", the black-haired girl and the old man around her suddenly disappeared, leaving only half a cup of herbal tea on the old wooden table.

Kagura and Mikawa, who were wearing night clothes, ran quickly on the roof, stepping on every brick and tile without making any movement. After all, the old man's broken leg affected his speed, but his proficient telekinesis kept him from moving. Lost with a girl as light as a butterfly.

The moonlight was just right, and the weather was not conducive to sneaking in, but their superb concealment skills allowed the two of them to come to the center of the mansion without hindrance—that is, Hosokawa's bedroom.

According to the news from Dead Leaf Butterfly, who has been hiding in the house since last night, there is no one in the house at this time, only a few warriors guarding the house outside, and three or four Chunin guards in the dark.

Kagura signaled Mikawa to wait outside with his eyes, while he put on a mask and slipped into the house through the gap of the guard patrol. His movements were done in one go without disturbing anyone.

The girl's eyes pointed directly at the only desk in the room. Among the various seals, a green jade seal with a luster like flowing water was particularly conspicuous.Kagura had already seen this seal in the picture passed by the withered leaf butterfly. Somehow, she knew that she had found the right one, but it was not until she saw it with her own eyes that she felt a magical feeling in her heart. It is the intimacy of seeing a long-lost relative, and it is the bond passed down in the blood that has been connected from generation to generation.

She stepped forward to pick up the jade seal, followed her inner intuition to input a trace of chakra, and the seal that was originally engraved with words that no one could understand seemed to have faded away, revealing the three characters "Please Teng Yin", which are vigorous and powerful , but restrained inside, one release and one retraction show the deep writing power and open mind of the engraver.

The corners of the mouth under Kagura's mask are raised high. She made an unintentional agreement with her mother when she was a child, but she would really fulfill it in her lifetime.She was about to sneak out in the same way, but Sanchuan groaned from the roof, and then several guards rushed in together, "Who?!"

How was it discovered?Kagura hurried out through the window, and saw that Mikawa was surrounded by several Chunin on the roof, a shuriken was stuck in his disabled leg, and blood kept flowing from the wound.

When Sanchuan saw Kagura exiting the room and nodding at him, he knew that the thing was in his hands. He quickly formed seals and used water escape to hinder the pursuit of several Chunin, and fled Hosokawa Mansion with Kagura.

After leaving a certain distance, Kagura slowed down, and finally stayed with Mikawa in a remote corner, which was the meeting place they had discussed with Sasuke before.

"What's going on? How could you be discovered and injured?" The girl took off her mask and wanted to look back at the old man's injuries, but suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Abruptly, Kagura looked back at the old man with an unwavering expression in disbelief, "Mikawa, you...".

"Since you have Teng Yin, you don't need it anymore." Sanchuan looked coldly at the girl lying on the ground covering her chest, and slightly raised the corners of her lips, "I am willing to be dominated by a little girl for so long, just for this moment s arrival".

The old man pulled out the shuriken on his leg, as if he had confirmed his victory, and pointed out his plan to the girl who had no resistance, "I deliberately showed my flaws and wanted to hurt you in a sudden attack. Although it failed, fortunately you are still so unguarded, you are really as naive as your grandfather, Patriarch," he said sarcastically.

"Why... cough... why do you know... Please Teng Yin", the mask rolled to the distance, Kagura ignored the severe pain in his chest, stared at the old man who had always been regarded as his family, coughed up blood and asked .

"Naturally, it came from the mouth of the No.13 Patriarch, your grandfather." Sanchuan's expression suddenly froze for a moment, and the scene when the old man begged him to spare the lives of other clansmen flashed in his mind.

"I said to that person, 'If you tell me how to open the underground library, I might spare the life of other people who don't know'." When the old man with white hair mentioned the underground library, his eyes exuded terrible greed , Kagura's stern but kind old man seems to have been replaced by a strange hungry beast.

The old man, who was immersed in his memories, didn't realize that the withered leaf butterfly, who had been inseparable at all, had disappeared at some point.
