[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

As the sun rises and the moon sets, the trees on the side of the road grow stronger and stronger through the wind and rain, and the outstretched branches block the sun's rays.

Kakashi lazily walked back from the memorial tablet, and suddenly found that the two people walking towards him were greeting him, but it was Uzuki Yugao and Moonlight Hayate in casual clothes.

"Senior Kakashi." Xiyan waved her hand and smiled, "I was going to find you."

"Huh? Are you all on vacation?"

"Ahem, yes, I need to prepare something." Gaifeng coughed, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Next week, I hope Kakashi-senpai will come with you." Xiyan's smiling face was also blushing with happiness, "We are getting married."

"Oh, that's really congratulations. No wonder Haifeng's complexion has improved a lot. It turns out that a good thing is coming." Scratching his silver hair, Kakashi blessed him from the bottom of his heart.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Gaifeng, who was teased, blushed almost to the point of bleeding.

Xiyan at the side quickly changed the subject: "I also invited Huoyue, I don't know if she is free, she is really busy these days."

"I haven't seen her for a long time." Kakashi said helplessly, thinking of the kitten that was still missing.

"Are seniors worried?" Xiyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Huoyue is very powerful now, whether it is document processing or various tasks, it is done very well, and even the always picky consultants can't fault it Everyone in Anbe has been convinced by this child's terrifying growth, and no one dares to question her strength. Master Tsunade has always praised himself for betting on the right treasure. Seniors can rest assured."

"I'm not worried about this..." Kakashi occasionally heard some news from the girl when he was on a mission, it was nothing more than various rumors under gray channels.Because of the girl's ruthless methods as always, the title of Konoha Akagi seems to be spreading farther and farther in the gray area.

Compared with being happy for the growth of the girl, the feeling of worry is stronger. For those who act in the dark, it is not a good thing for a big tree to attract the wind.

"Ah, the senior is worried about Huoyue's safety." The mature Xi Yan unconsciously teased after drawing out the tone, "That child is very smart, senior should not be overprotective."

"That's right." Saying goodbye to the two with a wry smile, Kakashi walked slowly towards the dormitory, and Hayate and Yugao also continued towards the shopping street.

"Hey, Kakashi is the only one who still treats Huyue as a child." Haifeng, who had two missions with Xue, recalled the girl's unscrupulous style of acting, which even adults may not have. , like a ferocious beast that was born from blood and was born with blood, "No one who has seen Huoyue kill people would dare to underestimate her."

Xiyan smiled knowingly: "Doesn't that also mean that only in front of the senior, the beast will put away its fangs and claws, and act like a harmless kitten?"

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

On a rare holiday, Kakashi walked through the crowd in casual clothes. There were many old acquaintances at the wedding, and they greeted them one by one, but the silver-haired Jōnin did not find the figure he was looking for.

While holding a glass of wine to congratulate the newcomers, Xiyan keenly noticed Kakashi's absent-mindedness, lowered her voice and said to him: "Sorry, senior, Huo Yue had an urgent mission two days ago, and I might not be able to make it back today .”

After thanking Xiyan, Kakashi hid in the corner of the yard, looking at the bustling crowd, feeling empty for some reason.The sakura trees beside me kept dropping dead flowers, which fell on the ground and staggered into a pink carpet, and the flowering period was about to pass.

Staring blankly at the reflection in the wine glass, the broken petals fell into the wine and rippled in circles. Kakashi was thinking of leaving early, when a black shadow suddenly broke into the water in the wine glass.

Looking up, the wild cat that had been looking for was squatting on the top of the wall in a hurry, ready to jump off.A bunch of low ponytails tied up indiscriminately swayed behind his head, and his dark cat eyes became more translucent in the rain of flowers. When he saw Kakashi under the wall, his original cold expression melted away.

"teacher?"

Compared with the last time we met, the girl's voice was a little less childish and sharp, and a little more deep, and it was a little provocative when it echoed in my ears.

"Yo, long time no see." Raising his hand to say hello, Kakashi looked at Xue who was still squatting on the wall and smiled, "Why do you like climbing walls now?"

Jumping nimbly to the ground, Xue explained: "I'm late, I'm sorry to go through the gate, I want to sneak in..."

"I heard that you have a task these two days? Have you completed it?" Kakashi looked at the girl who was growing like a bamboo shoot. Although she was in a hurry, there was no injury on her body. Have a good rest.

"Today is an important day, and I have to come back, so I hurried. But Shennai probably won't get up, so I can only greet you." Xue was still holding a delicate box in her hand, and it seemed that she was going to give Xi Yan's gift.

"Don't force it too much." Touching the girl's hair, his heart seemed to be filled with warm wine, and Kakashi seemed to leave in no hurry.

Xue nodded and ran towards the crowd with the box in her arms, then suddenly stopped and asked Kakashi, "Is teacher free later?"

"Huh? Yes, what's the matter?"

"...Then please wait for me, teacher." Hearing Kakashi's reply, the girl seemed to have raised her tone at the end of the sentence because of happiness, and turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Standing against the wall under the cherry tree, Kakashi was admiring the falling flowers, when Sakura greeted him and ran over.

"Mr. Kakashi, why are you alone?"

"Ah, Xue went to see Xiyan."

"I just said that the first thing this guy does when he comes back is to find Kakashi-sensei, and he didn't tell me. I also prepared a new conditioning potion for her, you white-eyed wolf!" Sakura clenched her fists angrily. , the joints made a bad sound, Kakashi thought of Sakura's increasingly proficient strange power and couldn't help but squeeze cold sweat for Yuki.

"Speaking of which, Sakura, are you assisting Shi Yin in researching Snow's blood?"

"Yes, the progress has been going well recently. The excessive chakra that had been suppressed by drugs before can now be controlled by Xiaoxue's growth and physical strength."

Sakura supported her chin and explained: "According to Ms. Shizune, Xiaoxue's blood is not the opposite of her, but a symbiotic relationship, so she has been proactively suppressing the function to a level she can accept. But that time she forcibly The mobilization of the forces that have been suppressed has caused the Chakra riots."

"So as long as Xiaoxue doesn't mess around in the future, this kind of thing shouldn't happen again, don't worry." Seeing Ino and the other ninjas behind him, Sakura and Kakashi waved goodbye, "Kakashi-sensei remember to let Xiaoxue came to me to get medicine."

Watching the students run away and twitter with their peers, the scene is like seeing friends from more than ten years ago.Immersed in the past, Kakashi couldn't help wondering if he was getting old while holding the wine glass.

"Teacher, I'm fine." The girl's voice interrupted Kakashi's memory at the right time, "Can you... accompany me to a place?"

"I'm fine..." Kakashi stared at the ninjas who were having fun not far away and asked, "It's a rare rest, don't you want to talk to your friends?"

What's the point of staying with a boring middle-aged man like myself?Kakashi thought.

The kitten in front of him shook his head: "...I want to stay with the teacher for a while longer."

"Then let's go." Kakashi smiled, and while everyone was still immersed in the happy atmosphere, he and Xue jumped out of the courtyard quietly over the wall.

The two jumped on the roof together, Kakashi secretly reprimanded the joy in his heart, monopolizing the girl made him unconsciously happy but also felt a strange sense of guilt.Wanting to release the kitten to the outside world to grow, but also selfishly hoping that she can stay by my side, this conflicting emotion is intertwined, which makes people suffer.

only today.

The silver-haired girl stared at the nimble jumping girl in front of her eyes, and finally persuaded herself to obey her heart once.

Xue, who was running ahead, finally stopped. Looking around, the two of them actually ran to the long-lost training ground.Kakashi looked suspiciously at the empty place, and the memorial monument stood alone, in stark contrast to the wedding scene.

"Teacher, do you still remember? This is the place where I first met Class Seven." Xue turned around, with her hands behind her back, and under the sunlight, she was a skinny girl with a big hood who didn't fit in It seems like yesterday.

"It's really nostalgic." Kakashi smiled while leaning on the pillars of the training ground, "A lot of things happened during these times."

Yuki took out her pocket and seemed to be holding something in her hand and handed it to the silver-haired Junin in front of her.Kakashi spread out his hands naturally, and the girl put her hand on her big hand, and the soft touch slid over her palm, giving it a burst of warmth.

When the little hand was released, a delicate hand-made chain suddenly appeared in the hand. A rough and polished animal tooth was passed through by a red string, which seemed to be quite similar to the chain hanging on the girl's chest.

"This is the chain of wolf teeth." Xue touched the animal teeth on her chest and said, "Senior Zeng Zaigen told me that wolves are the most valiant warriors, and their fangs can tear apart all prey. This is my The trophies of the first wolf I killed are like a constant reminder that I am either killed or killed in this world, and I have been fighting with me to this day."

That's right, the first time I saw Anbu's girl was like seeing a lone wolf standing in a pile of flesh and blood, arrogant and aggressive, sticking to her territory without showing any flaws.

Kakashi couldn't help sniggering when he thought of the fried-haired kitten who guarded himself against thieves.

Xue tilted her head, Yue Mo felt a little embarrassed, and her voice softened: "But a year ago, here, the teacher gave me another name, as if giving me a new life."

Is it a year?Kakashi always felt as if everything just happened yesterday.

"I like this name very much, it seems that I have another me, I live another life, just like this wolf tooth." Xue raised the chain to her eyes, as if she saw something through that wolf tooth, " It doesn't just imply battle and bloodshed, but also the expectation of protection and peace, both sides of it."

The spike chain in his hand suddenly became heavy, and Kakashi looked at the girl who was able to smile naturally, and it seemed that even the cherry blossoms were slightly inferior.

"I want to fight on the front line like this wolf tooth, protect Kakashi-sensei, protect everything the teacher wants to protect, and keep peace with the teacher." Xue smiled, with the same innocence as girls of the same age, "So I will work hard to become stronger."

The breeze lifted the girl's ponytail, and the expression she showed in front of only one person made the silver-haired Shangren's heart beat a beat slower for a moment.

At this moment, Kakashi recalled the oath that was only witnessed by street lamps that night. He originally thought it was just a girl's whimsical joke, but he never expected that it would become the goal she worked hard for all her life.

It is undeniable that from this moment on, Silver-haired Jonin could no longer regard the kitten in front of him as a child who needed shelter. As she promised, she relentlessly climbed and finally grew to a height that stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Thank you." Putting the chain away carefully, Kakashi thanked him differently, this was a solemn response to the girl's vow.

Seeing Kakashi accepting his gift, the girl's mind in Yuki's bosom burst open like a spring flower.

It seems that when approaching the teacher, the heartbeat becomes more and more serious.As she thought about it, she gradually felt an unusual heat spreading across her face.

"Today, can I be with the teacher?" Asked cautiously, afraid of being rejected by the man in front of her, Xue raised her eyes and looked ahead secretly.For her, today is like her own birthday, and she hopes to spend it with the most important people.

"Ah? No problem... It's just that being with me is boring." Scratching his head, Kakashi was completely at a loss as to what girls of this age like to do.

"As long as you're with the teacher." Xue shook her head hastily, "Why don't you go home and cook what the teacher likes?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Kakashi smiled and walked slowly towards the dormitory together with Yuki, enjoying this rare time alone for the two of them, and it has been half a year since seeing the girl again.

The author has something to say:

After thinking about it, it is more appropriate to classify this chapter as the last chapter of this volume, so I published it first. [The full text is not over yet haha ​​there is still more than half of it] Selfishness has been cultivated for Haifeng and Xiyan, and it is complete (′▽`〃)

Although I said that I wanted to give out candy, I couldn’t help but write a lot of dramas that I didn’t have, haha...

So I want to write a special episode about age manipulation. I don't know when it will be finished, and I am slowly grinding it out.
