[Hokage] Yuko Yamaguchi

The departure time was set at dawn, the sky was either bright or dark, and there was a little light shining from behind the clouds. I don't know if it was the moonlight or the newborn sun.

It's not that I'm not used to the dark night, it's just that I chose to set off at such a time, no matter how you look at it, it looks like I'm transporting a batch of shady goods.But as a ninja, the task is more than everything else, I didn't ask anything.

Along the way, the three of us surrounded the carriage, looked around carefully, and hurried on our way carefully.

On the road, insects sang, and the sleeping birds were startled from time to time. The dew almost soaked my clothes.

We did not take the usual official route, but relied on the mountains and fields.The servants leading the way didn't even dare to light a lamp, they just walked along the mountain in the dark, the whole team was silent, hurrying in this barren mountain and wild ridge, it looked extremely strange.

There are always people who can't hold their breath, like Xiao Li next to me.

"Ningci" he deliberately lowered his voice, his vocal cords trembling slightly, "I always feel that what we send is not some goods, but more like... more like a person"

When he said this, his eyes were wide open and his body was bent, which shocked Tian Tian.

"Lee, don't talk nonsense. Who can the Yamaguchi family send to Daimyo, and they are still sneaky like this!"

"It's true." Xiao Li's voice was a little excited, "Didn't you notice that there was a slight sobbing sound in this carriage, like a girl crying."

"My God, don't you scare me! Don't be some ghost!"

Tian Tian's expression also became flustered.

I had to think about all this in front of me.

There is almost no chance of hitting a ghost.Choosing to walk on the mountain road at a time that is not eye-catching is obviously deliberately avoiding the public's attention. It can be seen that this "gift" is not glorious.However, the carriages loaded with goods are decorated exquisitely and luxuriously, attracting eyeballs, which is really self-contradictory.

Reminiscent of Miss Yuko's fear and the crying on the carriage that day, a bold guess suddenly rose in my heart.

I rolled my eyes and looked straight into the carriage.

Through the exquisite wooden car cage, sitting there is a woman in a bright red kimono with brocade cloud patterns, her hair full of pearls, and she is weeping softly.

Before I can carefully distinguish whether this person is Ms. Yuko, a different kind of Chakra is rushing from the northwest side.

I quickly put on a vigilant posture, and Xiao Li and Tiantian also got ready. We tacitly surrounded the carriage and carried out the previously discussed strategy.

"At six o'clock, there are eight people, the leader is Jonin level, and the strength of the rest is unknown."

"learn"

"learn"

Three against eight, I actually don't have much chance of winning.

The first to shoot was fourteen kunai, which directly killed the servants in the team.Before we could make a move, several wooden boxes behind us opened automatically, and hundreds of hidden guards rushed out, directly fighting the eight ninjas.

Although a bit astonished, we quickly joined the battle by virtue of our good qualities and instinctive reactions of our bodies.

Dark guards are very similar to samurai, they are ordinary people who have undergone rigorous training, and they only obey their masters all their lives.Although the attack power is far inferior to that of a ninja, it is better than a ninja without the slightest chakra. It can easily evade the five senses of a ninja in the dark. It is best at assassination, so it is often kept by big families.

Let the hidden guards ambush and prepare in advance, it can be seen that the Yamaguchi clan has known for a long time that they will encounter enemy attacks on the road.That being the case, and the power of a large number of ninjas was not used, it must be a scandal or a secret in the family, which is not easy to leak.

In the darkness of the night, relying on the black clothes and superior numbers, the dark guards cooperated with the daily long-range attacks, and the eight ninjas were quickly at a disadvantage.

Xiao Li and I guarded the carriage, which contained the treasure that Ms. Yuko Yamaguchi had confessed ten thousand times.

In the panic, blood was splashed on the curtain of the carriage, and it was the hidden guard who cut off the head of an enemy with a knife. The woman in the carriage was frightened and screamed again and again.

Hearing the scream, the remaining ninjas rushed towards this side as if they had received the signal.

Xiao Li and I yelled secretly, seeing that their target was the woman in the carriage, so we rushed to meet the enemy.

The enemy moved fiercely, Kunai, Shuriken, and Detonating Talisman attacked overwhelmingly. I blocked more than half of the offensive with Huitian, but the carriage was already crumbling.

The other party obviously doesn't want to leave anyone alive, and even so, I have no intention of fighting.

Xiao Li and I exchanged glances, and while he was covering me, we rushed into the carriage alone.

Pulling back the curtain, there is a beautiful girl inside.She was lying cross-legged on the couch, her hair a little disheveled due to the turbulence.The pear blossom with rain on her lightly made-up face saw me coming in, her big maroon eyes were full of fear, like a frightened deer, but she tried to maintain a calm and steady look in her eyes.This is a born noble daughter with a detached temperament.

I admit that I was a little lost. I have never seen such a beautiful woman, like a red camellia just blooming, delicate and charming but not kitsch, so beautiful.

But the current situation does not allow me to think too much, I bowed my head and said "I'm sorry", then hugged her by the waist and fled to the other side of the mountain.

Xiao Li and Tian Tian will defend me against the pursuers. I know their respective strengths, so I am not worried.

Holding her waist, I was a little distracted.It's not that I haven't been so close to girls, on the contrary, there are not a few women who have stayed in my arms.I have protected various employers, but it was the first time that I had the throbbing that belonged to a teenager abnormally.

She was very frightened and hugged my neck tightly, but wisely she didn't speak to me.

The shadow of the tree swayed, leaving a beautiful silhouette on her face.When I tilted my head slightly, I could see her slender arms and small wrists, shining in the sunlight, like the most beautiful jade in the world.

Sunlight?Is it dawn already? I suddenly realized that I had run with her for so long.

Somewhat ashamed, I took her to a secluded cave for a little rest.

I understand that I am not a calm and unprofessional person, but this flustered and slightly scalded face clearly reminds me that I am still close to being hot—especially in front of such a beauty.

Article 520 of the Ninja Code - Do not indulge in sex and alcohol.I read silently, stood at the entrance of the cave and took a deep breath for a long time, and finally found a little cool feeling.

She spoke to me.

"Master Ninja, you saved me, my little girl, thank you for your life-saving grace."

I also bowed to her: "You are welcome, Miss Yuko."

When I said her name, she stiffened visibly and seemed very surprised.

That's right, she is not a ninja, and she is devoted to studying medical science and business, so naturally she doesn't know that the white eyes of the Hinata family have the ability to see through.And the screen, the carriage, and the female envoy who conveyed the message are all evidences that she deliberately concealed her identity, and they are also clues for me to deduce the hidden story.

Although I haven't seen the deity, but relying on reasoning and intuition, I know that she is her.

"How did you know I was Yuko Yamaguchi?"

Her eyes gradually became very wary, she didn't see the politeness and unfamiliarity just now, like a rabbit who has just entered the grassland, and still doesn't know how to hide her true intentions in front of the fox.

I suddenly wanted to laugh a little. I felt like giving military science lessons to the children of the ninja school.

"A person's identity is not determined only by appearance, Miss Yuko. Your clothes, temperament, manner of speaking are the best evidence, besides... I remember your voice."

My tone was as gentle as possible, eager to impress her and put her at ease.

"Yes, I also remember your voice. You are Ningji Hyuga, the team leader of this mission."

The rabbit's eyes are very clear, and her guard is gradually disappearing, but I know that this does not make her completely trust me.

I went on to ask her.

"Then...as the captain of this mission, I would like to ask you why the treasure sent to the fourth son of the daimyo was you? Moreover, you don't seem to want others to know about it, so you chose to set off at midnight, They don't take the main road. What's the secret behind this?"

Yuko-san began to avoid her eyes, not daring to look directly into my eyes.I know that this is a signal to avoid answering questions, but I don't want to let her go.

"Since you're not going to tell me, let me guess."

I stood up and approached her slowly, trying to use my height advantage to increase her sense of oppression and awaken her fear.

She had obviously never seen this kind of posture before, and she was forced to back up again and again, her eyes were full of horror, and the defense line in her heart was slowly collapsing.

This is exactly the result I want to see, except that my heart beats faster and faster.

Professor Konoha's interrogation techniques are mostly used to torture experienced ninjas, and are not suitable for civilians.So I tried my best to restrain my murderous aura, not wanting to frighten her, but at the same time I had to remind myself to stay rational, at least to look normal, and not to blush too obviously.

I'm so embarrassed, I've never been this close to a girl.

I feel like I'm going crazy, it's not me.

Until her tears started to roll in her eyes, I finally took a few steps back in relief, giving her a little space and giving myself room to breathe.

I naturally understand that the benefits of chasing after victory are greater than my slow interrogation now, but out of pity for her, I am reluctant to let her see my ugly side after all.

Between the task and my own emotions, no one can be completely impartial, and what's more, I am facing a woman who I like very much, and I am not a saint.

I struggled to maintain my sanity, and under the gaze of such a pair of beautiful eyes, I forced some threatening colors on my face.

Although I know it is very difficult for me.

I'm almost talking nonsense.

"Could it be that Yuansi kidnapped your father and forced you to marry him, that's why you made a bad move."

The scenes of bullies robbing women from good families are so common, my brain became hot, and I said something that I thought was funny.

This seems to belong to Xiao Li's lines.

I blushed a little, almost to the point of failure, but she suddenly lost control of her emotions, and tears rolled down my hands like beads from a thread, and they were extremely hot.

I never thought that I could make it right, and I guessed it right!

"Miss Yuko, you..."

Coaxing girls is really not my strong point. I suddenly regret not bringing Tiantian with me. Girls always talk better with each other. If the job of interrogation is handed over to Tiantian, Miss Yuko will not cry Be like this.

Just when I was helpless and didn't know what to do, Miss Yuko's tears stopped.

Even the sound of her crying was extremely small, her whole body was shaking with only her shoulders, she didn't even have an expression, she looked very thin.

She looked at me coldly, as if blaming me for piercing her mind, and said to me: "You guessed it, Neji-kun. My father said that the heart of a ninja is more vicious and sharp than that of ordinary people. It seems It's true. I've always been worried that the plan would be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble for the Yamaguchi family, so I only invited three ninjas, but I didn't expect that it still couldn't be hidden."

There is sarcasm, sadness, and unwillingness in her eyes. I can't understand, and I don't know where her complexity comes from.

"Since you are unwilling, why don't you seek justice from the daimyo, or hire a ninja to rescue your father?"

"No, you don't know the truth."

She got up and walked slowly to the depths of the cave, and sat on a rock with her back to the sun. I couldn't see her expression clearly, but I could only hear her cold voice slowly coming from a distance.

She explained everything to me.
