[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

Patrolling at night is much more boring than during the day, and the deserted streets appear empty, not as lively as during the day.The snow jumps on the roof in the night, as if blending with the black.

The girl with the lynx mask knew very well that night was the best time for ghosts and ghosts to appear, so she was more vigilant about her surroundings than during the day.The cat's eyes looked around at the quiet Muye Village. The night wind picked up a few fallen leaves, and everything was so peaceful.

The sound of breaking through the sky resounded, and Xue grabbed it reflexively, only to find that the hidden weapon was a candy.Looking back, the silver-haired Shinobu was waving to her on the roof not far away.

"Teacher, I'm still on a mission." Yuki jumped up and down in front of Kakashi nimbly, but the big difference in height made the girl's complaints not lethal.

"Well, I know. But it should be time for the guard change." Kakashi pointed to Anbu who was coming to pick up the guard in the distance - the other party seemed a little angry because his whereabouts were exposed.

Although Yuki felt a little sympathetic to Anbu who was in charge of the guard, she still directly signaled the change of guard and left the place with Kakashi.Following Kakashi's footsteps, the two arrived at the comfort monument where they met during the day.

"There's no one coming here, so relax." Kakashi said and found a place to sit down on the spot.Snow had no choice but to follow Kakashi and sit beside him on the floor.

Before he could ask Kakashi what's the matter, he saw that the other party handed over a cute envelope.

Seeing the girl nervously accepting it, carefully opening the envelope, and impatiently reading the letter under the dim light of the street lamp, Kakashi smiled and asked, "I'm a postman, so I'm pretty qualified."

Immersed in the daily chores depicted by Kinako, Xue was obviously in a good mood, even smiling with the lynx mask on her face.

"Thank you, teacher!"

The wind was blowing, and the Konoha at night was cool, looking at the girl who was concentrating on reading the letter, remembering that she was still injured, Kakashi turned slightly sideways to block the coolness.

"By the way, teacher, I've finished today's task." After reading the letter, Yuki folded the letter and put it in her bag, and looked up at Kakashi who was observing her.

"Oh?"

"Sakura has cheered up, and tomorrow's exam will definitely go well. Although they still have to perform tasks and cannot stand by, I have confidence in them."

"Yeah, what a good boy." Kakashi smiled appreciatively as he stroked Snow's hair like a cat.He muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a child anymore", but Yuki didn't stop Kakashi from rubbing his hair into a bird's nest.

Flying insects gathered around the street lamp, making intermittent noises, and there was a brief silence between the two.Xue felt the big hand on her head gradually move away, recalling Shinobu's deep eyes with silver hair during the day, she couldn't help wanting to know this person better, to get closer to this person.Under the influence of this quiet atmosphere, the girl suddenly blurted out and asked: "Mr. Kakashi, what are you fighting for?" Just like the question of the Kirigakure boy.

"Me?" The silver-haired jounin was taken aback by the sudden question, and the dead fish eyes looked at the dark night sky in a daze and replied, "There was no special reason at first, but later... later it was to protect ..."

"Guardian?" Loyalty to Konoha is Yuki's first lesson, it is an instinct implanted in the bone marrow, and it is the same concept foundation as eating and drinking, but the girl can't understand the meaning of guarding.

Kakashi's smile appeared softer under the light, but Snow felt it was unusually dazzling. "Yes, guarding Konoha, guarding the hope of you Konohas, that's my reason for fighting now."

Jonin spoke slowly but firmly, as if he was having a long conversation with a friend engraved on the memorial tablet.

"Ms. Kakashi wants to protect the village and everyone, so who is behind the teacher?" The girl's mask showed no emotion, and she looked straight at Kakashi with her empty cat eyes.

"I don't need protection." Kakashi laughed, Konoha's first technician actually made a girl who was a round younger worry, is he already old?

"I will protect the teacher."

The girl's voice was not loud, but still had the characteristic green voice of the immature, clear and distant in the empty and deserted night.

If, as Sakura said, the feeling of "like" means thinking about the other person, then Snow, who is like a wild animal, follows her inner wish to do something for the person in front of her.

Kakashi's eyes widened and he was unable to react for a while. He looked at the bobcat mask for a long time before laughing, and jokingly grabbed Snow's hair into a pile of weeds and said, "This sentence is still four years old. Five years, let’s talk about it when you grow up, hehe, I’m looking forward to it.”

"I will become stronger until the teacher can rest assured to leave the back to me." Yuki was not disturbed by Kakashi's joke, took off the mask on her face, and stared directly at Jonin with black eyes that did not reveal any other colors, With unquestionable earnestness.

Kakashi suddenly realized that the girl in front of him was not an ignorant child who needed to be protected blindly, but an Anbu ninja who was already capable of being alone; it was the fire moon who was confident that she would not fail when they met for the first time, not the girl she thought she was. Gu Shanxue, a 13-year-old girl who needs shelter from the wind and rain.

"It's late, you haven't had a good rest since you've been performing missions, right? The wound hasn't healed quickly, go back and recover quickly, or go back to my dormitory, I have something to do tonight." Kakashi, who was relieved, was vague I was sending the snow away, but my heart was still surrounded by inexplicable irritability, and I didn't know how to vent it.

Snow nodded obediently, and didn't notice what strange words she said. As usual, she put on her mask and waved goodbye to Kakashi before disappearing.

Kakashi under the street lamp held his forehead and let out a long sigh.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The chunin exam started as scheduled, and while the chunin were fighting in the exam room, the shadows of Konoha did not rest.This group of masked ninjas in uniform was active in every corner of the examination room and the village, keeping an eye on any possible problems.

Xue is in a team with Tsuruta today, and the two are responsible for monitoring with the leading ninja of Sand Hidden Village.Although the other party may not have discovered their own side, the representatives of all countries understand the necessity of surveillance, and they pretend to be ignorant in order to show sincerity.

Tsuruta is a guy who is not suitable for lurking missions, and Xue understood this when they went on missions together for the first time.After eight hours of uninterrupted stalking, Tsuruta's endurance was almost at the limit, and while making a dirty face, he quickly complained with Anbu hand gestures with Yuki.

If the representatives of Sand Hidden Village knew that they were not only watched by Konoha Anbu, but also greeted with dirty words in a special Anbu sign language, I don’t know how they would feel.While replying to Tsuruta with the gesture of "be safe and don't be impatient", Yuki quietly hid in the dark and watched the target's every move.

After confirming again and again that there was no target who seemed to be a man in robes in the team of Hidden Sand Village, Yuki reported to Kutiao again after connecting with Anbu who came to change the guard.After a busy day, I finally got a rest instruction. Looking at the sky, the sun has already started to set.

I don't know how the seventh class exam is going.Thinking of this, Xue changed into casual clothes, and prepared to use the short rest time to explore the situation.

The commercial street was buzzing with people, and Xue walked through the crowd wearing a hood she hadn't worn for a long time, looking a little out of place by herself.When passing by an izakaya, he was suddenly dragged into the store, and when he looked up, he found that it was Mitarai Adzuki, who was in a hurry, and there were Yuhi Kurenai, Asma, Shiranui Genma and others sitting in the store.

"Look who I found! It's the little wild cat of Kakashi's family!" The red bean seemed to be casual but restrained Xue's joints, so that she didn't dare to move at will.

"Red beans... don't catch minors into the store." Asma bit her cigarette butt and said with a headache.

"Kakashi is such a precious kid, be careful of being beaten." Genma, who had already suffered a disadvantage, echoed from the side.Behind Gengen, a ninja with black eye circles coughed a few times, and waved his hand to Yuki as a greeting. Yuki recognized that it was Moonlight Hayate, one of the special Jonin.

"It's okay, they're all chunin, and they're already adults." Anko shoved Xue on the seat roughly, opened a bottle of wine boldly and filled it up, without giving the girl the slightest chance to resist, "It just so happens that Kakashi today If you are not here at night, find someone to replace him, or else I might attack the novices in his family tomorrow."

Hearing this sentence, Xue realized that Class Seven had passed the first exam today, and asked, "Is Senior Hongdou the chief examiner for tomorrow?"

Hongdou, who had already eaten the take-out red bean balls, nodded: "Yes, I will be the chief examiner for the second exam tomorrow. Hee hee, are you worried about your teammates? Are you trying to bribe me? Then finish your drink. "

"Don't tease Hongdou, this kid will take it seriously." Xi Hihong reminded Xue, who was very vigilant last time, to persuade her.

"Tch, well, I'm just bored to tease the cat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the wine glass being put down and smashed on the table. Looking sideways, he saw that Xue had finished the wine in one gulp, and looked at the people around him with the same expression.

"so?"

The room was quiet, and several battle-tested ninjas stared at Xue with big eyes and small eyes, without reacting for a while.

"Oh, Hongdou, you idiot, she takes it seriously, it's none of my business." Xuan Jian immediately distanced himself from the relationship, gloating and drinking his own wine.

"No way, the little girl is huge." Hongdou waved her hand in front of the hood in surprise, "Are you all right?"

"What's the matter?" Xue asked with her head tilted in confusion. Although it was her first time drinking alcohol, there seemed to be nothing unusual except for the very pungent smell and the pungent nose.

Seeing that the commotion was a little too much, Asma immediately got up to smooth things over: "Let's do it tonight, Hongdou, you still have to prepare for tomorrow's exam, so don't make trouble too late."

"It's true, alas, it's really troublesome." Hongdou said a little bored.Several special superiors and jounin greeted each other a few words, reconfirmed that there was nothing wrong with Xue, and then went home.

Xue, who got the information she wanted and planned to go back to the Anbu dormitory, walked back alone, but felt a hot air rising from her stomach, hitting her head and feeling a little confused, and the street in front of her began to distort.

are you sick?Patting her head didn't wake her up, Xue only thought that she would have to perform the task in two hours and go back to the dormitory to rest as soon as possible, so she ran up to the roof aimlessly, and ran wildly on instinct.

At this moment, Kakashi, who finished his trivial work, was taking off his mask and maintaining his weapons in the dormitory, when he suddenly heard the sound of tree branches shaking outside the house, the movement was so loud that it was impossible to determine whether it was an enemy attack.

After hearing only a few collisions, there was a loud falling sound from the living room, and then there was no movement.Kakashi hurriedly ran out of the room to look, but Yuki in casual clothes was lying curled up on the floor by the window.

The author has something to say:

I have always thought that Kakashi’s special dog series ww is the kind of large, cute and reliable type at critical moments. It has been protecting others but making people feel distressed. This chapter can be regarded as the original intention of writing this article. , I really like the sense of trust that comrades will deliver to each other behind their backs. I hope someone can stand behind him.
