[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

Putting the bathrobe she took off in the clothes basket and washing it thoroughly in the shower, Yuki covered her body with a towel and followed the other passengers into the hot spring with some embarrassment.

The strong smell of sulfur permeates the steaming water, and the bare feet step on the smooth stones slowly, and the comfortable temperature spreads from the toes.

"Huh..." Feeling the hot water flowing over her body, Xue subconsciously let out a breath, and her tense emotions were relieved by the water waves gently brushing over her skin.

According to Kakashi's instructions, the towel was folded and placed on her head. The girl childishly scooped up the clear water and let the water flow away between her fingers, as if she was quite new to the hot water.Hearing the soft male voice from the next door, Xue realized that the male soup and the female soup were only separated by a tall bamboo wall.

The teacher is right next door, are you enjoying the hot spring too...

Speaking of which, the book seems to say that some remote mountain hot spring hotels will have mixed baths for men and women. Will everyone take a hot spring together like this?

The girl seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sank her body under the water, leaving only her eyes above the water, and the restless water bubbles danced with her heartbeat, as if this could cover up her warming cheeks and sudden strange emotions.

Must be the spa's fault.

Xue closed her eyes and calmed down in the water for a while, and finally switched from the relaxed state to the working mode.

The water surface is covered by mist, the fallen leaves in the courtyard float in the pool, and the soothing smell wraps the whole body, and the tourists are immersed in the beauty of the hot spring.

There were a few women scattered around, almost all of them came in groups, Xue who seemed to be alone was a bit awkward.

The girl was not disturbed by the conversations around her, but leaned against the stones by the pool, hid in an unnoticed corner, carefully looked at the environment of the hot spring, kept the terrain and hidden objects firmly in her heart, and quietly record the required information.

Snow experienced the hot spring in her own way for a while, and stepped out of the pool before her mind became dizzy from the long soak.After re-showering and rinsing, I checked that no one was paying attention to me, put on my bathrobe and walked out of the corridor.

The cool wind passed through the corridor, passing over the dripping hair, which woke up the feverish head.Standing in a hidden place waiting for Kakashi, perhaps the comfort of the hot spring relieved Xue's nervous body and mind, and the girl stared at the tourists coming and going in pairs at the exit, which was rare.

It would be great if I could come down with the teacher without the task...

The year-round task maniac is actually thinking about taking a vacation. If the newcomers in Anbu hear about it, they will probably lament collectively that Senior Steel also wants to take a break.

Just as she was in a trance, a bottle of milk suddenly appeared in front of her. The girl was startled, and almost reflexively put on a fighting stance.

"Are you distracted? It's really not like you." The familiar male voice made the furry cat put down its hands that were about to attack, and Kakashi, who was maintaining the transformation technique in front of him, handed over a bottle of ice milk sold in the hotel.

After taking the milk bottle, the cold air calmed down the heat from the hot spring, and the refreshing sweetness filled his throat. Yuki originally wanted to reprimand Kakashi and swallowed it into his stomach along with the ice milk.

"Waiting for the teacher." Xue was a little reluctant to drink the milk right away, just holding it to feel the coolness.

Even after using the transformation technique, the silver-haired Jōnin's crescent-shaped smile was still the same as before, he raised his hand to touch the girl's damp hair and smiled: "Sorry for the long wait, I think you may not be used to taking a hot spring for the first time, I went to buy ice milk, which can relieve the heat."

Aftertasting the sweetness in his mouth, Xue Yuan's somewhat regretful mood was diluted, thanked him softly and enjoyed Kakashi's thoughtfulness.

No matter how relaxed they were, they couldn't forget their business. The two of them didn't waste any time. As soon as they got back to the room, they began to share information and complete the road map.

"I talked to the waiter when I was buying milk just now. There seems to be a large number of mobile people next door today, and the number of guards is about double that of usual. The target should have been reached." Kakashi said, pointing to the map.

"The informant said that the targets of this transaction are officials from other countries. Because it is a secret transaction, there will not be many people involved. They should withdraw tomorrow."

"Then tonight is the only time to act." Xue knelt on the tatami mat holding an empty baby bottle, concentrating on her action plan, "The first half of the night is the time when the defense is the strictest, I suggest to act in the second half of the night when it is close to dawn .Sneak in from the direction of the backyard, and withdraw from the direction of the hot spring after completing the task. At that time, you can disguise yourself as a traveler who got up early to soak in the hot spring and sneak into the hotel to avoid being traced. Because you can’t reveal your identity, you must use swords and evasion tactics as much as possible.”

"No problem, there are still five hours until the middle of the night, you can rest for a while." Kakashi stood up and moved his sedentary bones before making up the bed.

It's been a long time since the wild cat responded. Looking back, the girl was still sitting there thinking, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she was too serious to be disturbed.

"Although it is good to perfect the battle plan, proper rest can ensure sufficient energy for action."

Bending down to take the empty milk bottle from the girl's hand, Kakashi's face was reflected in front of her eyes, making Yuki, who was concentrating on how to deal with various situations, unable to react for a while.

"But teacher... as the team leader, you must be responsible for the whole team, and planning to ensure that nothing goes wrong is a must. I... don't want to make the same mistakes again." The girl seemed to remember something, her eyes dimmed.

It seemed that no matter how he concealed it, the incident a year ago still left an indelible shadow on the girl, as if he was leading the team for the first time.Kakashi clutched the empty baby bottle, thinking of the long past, the snow in front of him seemed to overlap with his young self for a moment.

"It's true to say that...but if the captain collapses from exhaustion first, it would be putting the cart before the horse."

"Understood, teacher." Sensing Kakashi's concern, Snow closed the map obediently.Looking back, he found that Kakashi had already laid out the futons for both of them, and he introspected himself for asking his senior to prepare things.

After the two said goodnight to each other, they each got into the comfortable quilts to recharge their batteries for the next action.

The only thing that echoed in the room with the lights off was the sound of long breaths. Snow realized belatedly that he and Kakashi seemed to be sleeping together at a slightly closer distance, so close that the tip of his nose was surrounded by the teacher's unique odor.

The sound of the heartbeat was beating, scurrying in the small space, and the restless impact filled the eardrums.Snow pulled the quilt over her head in a panic, for fear that the unusual heartbeat would alarm Kakashi who was on the side.

Even though she was a little flustered, her instinctive instant sleep skills made Xue fall into a light sleep with a frantic heartbeat.

Kakashi, who originally thought he was asleep, opened his right eye and looked at the quilt beside him, but the silver-haired Jonin couldn't calm down.

Although the two usually live in the same room in the dormitory, they have always rested in separate rooms and living rooms and have never interfered with each other.

Habitually taking care of the wild cats as an elder, but often consciously or unconsciously reminding himself that the girl in front of her is no longer a child.The contradictory state of mind stirred in my heart again and again, and the wonderful emotions did not calm down because the girl left home, but tended to intensify after the long-awaited reunion.

I don't know when this change of mood started. It seems that there is no end to it. It constantly demonstrates my sense of existence and slowly bites away my rationality.

At this moment, he felt that the movement of the kitten beside him was getting sleepless, so Kakashi could only rest his head on his hands and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

As a guardian, I can't say whether it is good or bad...

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

The temperature before dawn was chilly, and the moist water vapor hit the skin with a tingling sensation. The moon in the sky had already melted into the darkness, and the light was barely visible.At this moment, the people who had fun also fell into sleep, the mist filled the air, and the world seemed to have reached the dividing line between dreams and reality.This is the quietest moment before the sun rises.

Two black shadows swiftly ran up the cedar branches on the back wall of the courtyard, and their black short clothes made them blend into the night.

One person made a few gestures, and the two separated and jumped over the high wall under the cover of branches and leaves without making a sound.

A guard under the wall was standing against the wall with a knife in his hand. Although he had just changed his guard, he was still a little sleepy as he hadn't fully woken up from sleep.

Yawning and preparing to rub his eyes, the guard suddenly found that his hands were stained with viscous liquid for some reason. Looking at it under the dim light, it seemed to be the color of blood.

Finally awake, he wanted to shout and remind the guards not far away, but found that he could not make any sound except for a slight "hissing" airflow.

Ah, the trachea was cut.

Holding the last consciousness, he finally got eternal sleep.

And the Scarlet Dawn of this mansion will only now kick off.

The author has something to say:

When I wrote this, I specifically asked my friends in Japan what the actual process is to go to the hot springs, but I found out...the games are all deceptive hahaha [I hate that black households can’t leave the country...

My friend told me: Generally, there is no mixed bathing in hot springs!

Because from the beginning of the changing room, everyone goes in and out of the changing room nakedly. You can’t bring anything except towels. There are only some remote small hot springs and mixed bathing programs for men and women, and only some old men will go in [Think about it. too!Which young girl will go in_(:з」∠)_

So the idea of ​​writing Tang was ruined【X

However, in order to show different scenery to the male and female bath passengers, some hotels will take measures to change the men’s and women’s baths by time, which is the holy place of the bridge section of [wrong time and result in the wrong bath] that is common in animation and manga, and is going to be reserved for the future. Let's talk again when we have a chance haha

The content of these two chapters is relatively small because it has undergone major changes, and for various reasons... If some things are confirmed, I may replace these two chapters with the original plot...
