[Comprehensive] Doing a puzzle

Hatake Kakashi was ordered to protect Izumi, but he didn't know what Izumi looked like.

The other party is the concubine favored by the nobles, and they cannot see foreign men.At any time, she would use bamboo curtains to block the sight of others, so that outsiders could only vaguely see the outline of her face.Therefore, in Kakashi's eyes, she is an older woman with a vague appearance.

Thinking of Daimyo Asakura's attitude, and thinking of the illusion cast by no one before, Kakashi Hatake felt that this task was not that simple.

With his hands behind his head, he sat on a branch with his knees bent.The light that leaked from the green shade wandered between his hair, half-lighting the short silver-white hair that curled up.

Kakashi's eyes were not full of vigor, but lazy.He casually glanced down at the branches, and he saw the woman sitting behind the imperial curtain at a glance—she was still sitting there, motionless, quietly watching the maids frolicking.

Really patient.

Kakashi couldn't help but think so.

Daimyo Asakura went out to play, but the family members he brought could not show their faces, so they could only stay in the inn staring at the small backyard in a daze, waiting for the master to come back and have dinner with her overnight.Whenever the daimyo returns, she must greet her personally.She claims to be a respectful "concubine", and she must not leave out the word "I" to show that she is married and has a belonging identity.

The rules of the nobility are so strict.

"Kakashi." She raised her hand and waved towards the tree.

The young ninja quickly landed on the ground, walked to the bamboo curtain, and asked her instructions.

"What kind of person is Hokage-dono?" she asked.

It turned out that I was curious about the world of ninjas.

Kakashi thought.

"A very good person." Kakashi's answer was very general.

"I heard from Your Excellency the Third, the current Hokage is your teacher. You must have a deep relationship with him." Izumi asked.

"All ninjas in Konoha respect Hokage," he replied.

"Do you have friends?"

"No."

"Hasn't it always been?"

"……No."

Kakashi's heart gradually became impetuous.

He doesn't like to talk about his past to strangers, and his answers are somewhat perfunctory.

If it wasn't for the order of the fourth generation, he wouldn't even talk to him.

"That's really a pity." She said: "For a child, life without friends must be less fun."

"Ninjas don't care about this. Because death is normal for ninjas, and the joy of life is not important," Kakashi said.

When he said this, his eyes turned around on the curtain that was shaking slightly in the wind.

——This woman herself is just a bird in a cage without freedom, yet she has the heart to pity others.

Izumi's eyes fell on Kakashi's arm through the curtain.

His arms are thin and thin, with no muscles, and black wristbands and half-finger gloves are connected together.There was a large bruise above the elbow, where he had accidentally scratched it on a tree earlier.

"Kakashi, let my concubine clean up your wound."

"... This is a small injury." Kakashi raised his arm: "It's not painful, no need."

The daimyo did not allow her to meet with the outsider, let alone something like "bandaging" that would cause physical contact.

"This is my concubine's order." Even though it was an order, her voice was very soft.

"If I see your face, the master of your house will withhold my commission." Kakashi was a little mad.

"You are just a child." There was a slight surprise in her voice: "Your Highness will not be angry with a child."

Kakashi had nothing to say.

As a ninja, he was treated as a non-threatening child... Maybe he should say that this concubine lady who was pampered in the deep part of the mansion was too naive and ignorant.

He is usually not a lively person, and he only has two responses to other people's invitations: direct rejection and ignoring.But the woman in front of her can't solve it with these two attitudes.

The maid brought bandages and medicine, and the bamboo curtain was pulled up a little, exposing her east-colored cuffs.The wrist hidden in the sleeve is white and slender, wrapped with two thin red ropes.

Kakashi couldn't help it, so he stretched out his hand and let her handle it.

Her posture when dealing with the wound is very skillful, which is somewhat beyond Kakashi's expectations.

"You don't need to be so alien, it's okay to treat my concubine as a sister." She let go of Kakashi's arm, and said with a light smile, "I also have a younger brother who is the same age as you, who is very uncute and refuses to approach me. Concubine I haven’t seen him for a long time, and I miss him so much.”

Kakashi flicked his wrist, but didn't answer.

——At the end of the day, it was probably because this woman was locked in the backyard all day and was so boring that the idea of ​​"treating him as a younger brother" came about.

However, for a moment, Kakashi became curious about her appearance, he wanted to see what this woman looked like.

The curiosity soon dissipated.

He will not make trouble with his commission money.

There was a noise from the post gate outside the wall, and it was Asakura Daimyo who had gone out and returned happily.Kakashi quickly backed away, jumped back to the branch and squatted.

Kakashi believes that after this mission is over, he and this woman will have no intersection.

Just as he guessed, after escorting Asakura Daimyo back, Konoha did not receive his entrustment for a long time.Naturally, Kakashi never saw that woman again.

In the autumn of the next year, the nine-tailed demon fox made trouble in Konoha.The fourth Namikaze Minato, who had just become Hokage, died in battle with his wife Kushina Uzumaki to protect the village.In order to be the next Hokage candidate, Daimyo Asakura went to Konoha again.

Hatake Kakashi didn't respond when he heard the surname "Asakura".

Since the teacher's sacrifice, his expression has been less.Although he usually likes to wear a mask, his anger and smile can be clearly revealed.And after the fourth generation died in battle, most of the time, he was expressionless, and occasionally showed indifference and laziness that had nothing to do with him.

When Anbe's colleagues talked about the woman Asakura brought, Kakashi vaguely remembered the imperial curtain that would never be raised, and those white and gentle hands.

Two Anbu ninjas stood in front of the locker, arranging the weapons in the ninja bag, talking about how troublesome the task of protecting the daimyo was, and the rumors about that woman.

"I thought they came here specifically to name the next Hokage, but I didn't expect to bring a woman here."

"It is said that she is very beautiful. Aristocratic women always have some tricks."

"The ninjas who were on duty to clear the customs didn't dare to check her identity, so they just let her pass."

Kakashi listened intently, and approached them unconsciously.

"Oh, it's a newcomer." The senior Anbu turned his head and looked at him through the mask: "What? Are you also interested in that lady? As a senior, I would like to say that even if you are curious, you can't spy on the family members of the nobles at will. , those daimyos get angry, and their nonsense attitude will make people have a headache."

Kakashi turned his head silently with dead fish eyes.

He had just joined Anbu not long ago—this department set up by the second generation is directly under Hokage, and its members are all elite ninjas who are proficient in assassination techniques and good at hiding their whereabouts.Now that he is a member of Anbu, he should not be sent to protect a woman again.

Just when Kakashi was thinking this way, the next second, the task of acting as an agent of the Hokage Advisory Group came, and he was going to be responsible for protecting that woman again.The reason is that he has met her, is an acquaintance, and has experience in this task.

Kakashi:  …

#Actually he has never seen her! !None! #

Under the meaningful eyes of Anbu's colleagues, Kakashi straightened his mask, put a dagger on his back, and went to meet his client.

Daimyo Asakura temporarily lives in the posthouse north of Konoha Ninja Village, and he lives here with other nobles every time he comes to Konoha.

Kakashi squatted on the pole, looking at the quiet street from afar.As the sky darkened, the daimyos who had finished the meeting came back one after another, and appeared from their cages, waving their fans.Daimyo Asakura was also among them, his swollen eyes were dull and tired.

Kakashi suddenly noticed something.

He raised his forehead to reveal Sharingan—although it was only for a moment, he sensed that someone had cast an illusion on Asakura's body, so he showed that tired and dull expression.

One month has passed since Hokage's funeral, and the atmosphere of winter is getting stronger.The position of Hokage has always been pending, and the village's government affairs are handled by the third generation of Hokage who has resigned.The meaning of the advisory group is that they want to select a Fifth Generation from among the young people, or have senior members of the advisory group act as Hokage.But Hiruza Sarutobi insisted that he could continue to work, and he still refused to give in.

In this atmosphere, you can hear a lot of news just by walking on the street, not to mention Asakura Daimyo, who can easily get in touch with the core of Konoha—every time he meets the high-level Konoha, he can bring Countless valuable news.

Izumi came to Konoha originally only to collect information.

Thinking of her family waiting to be fed... Uh, precocious and uncute younger brother Obito Uchiha, she felt that there was a long way to go and a long way to go.

Who will be in charge of Naruto will determine the difficulty of their future implementation of the plan.

If the hawkish Shimura Danzo becomes Hokage, then her and Obito's workload can be reduced a lot—Danzo is a person who is good at judging the situation and is willing to use all resources to build Konoha; as long as the bargaining chip is enough, Obito and Izumi will be assisted by Shimura Danzo.

Therefore, Izumi directly asked Asakura Daimyo to choose Danzo.

It's a pity that Asakura's power alone is too small to influence Hokage's election.

Casting illusions for a long time is a very troublesome thing for Quan who doesn't have Sharingan.So she stayed in the house quietly and didn't go anywhere.

When Kakashi suddenly appeared in front of Izumi, she was slightly taken aback.

"...Kakashi?" She quickly suppressed the chakra fluctuations on her body.

"During the time you are in Konoha, I will protect you." The silver-haired boy said, looking at her.

curtain--

Another curtain.

There was still a curtain between Kakashi and her.This time, he couldn't see her face either.

|||

At night, 14-year-old Kakashi sat on the roof with his knees bent.

The night sky covered him, enveloping him from head to toe.

He knew that in this square courtyard, among the servants and maids, there must be a person who is good at illusion manipulating Asakura Daimyo.Even the lady in the concubine, who is elegant, noble and beautiful, may be an illusionist.

However, he thought of those gentle hands and dismissed the idea.

——Such a person would not do such a thing, would he?

The woman living in the deep mansion was bored, relying on her husband's favor to survive.Life is boring and old-fashioned, with a gentle and obedient personality.

She doesn't look like the kind of... troublemaker.

Even though he knew the eternal truth of "you can't judge others by their appearance", Kakashi insisted on it.

Kakashi slid down the roof and landed gently in the courtyard.Daimyo Asakura had already fallen asleep due to drunkenness, but the concubine lady's house was still lit.He silently walked outside the shoji paper door, looking at a ray of light leaking from the crack of the door.

That ray of light was very clear, spreading out a long strip of harmonious halo on the floor of the corridor, glowing with warmth.

Kakashi Hatake just wanted to stand here for a while, but Izumi's voice came at this time.

"Do you miss your teacher very much? Kakashi. Your footsteps are a little restless."

Hatake Kakashi was slightly startled.

Through the door, her voice was a little fuzzy, but the gentleness and sweetness were the same as in the memory.

He stretched out his hand towards the paper door, but withdrew his finger just before touching the paper door.

"No. Lord IV died for the sake of the village, and his death is worthy of respect." Kakashi said.

"You are just a 14-year-old child, the same age as my concubine's younger brother." Quan said.

Kakashi stared at the ray of light leaking from the crack of the door, feeling complicated.

Whenever she mentioned her brother, Kakashi thought she was stupid.However, she really paid attention to her condition as if she was taking care of her younger brother, which made Kakashi feel that he should not reply her with cold eyes.

"What kind of person is your brother?" Kakashi raised his head, staring at the painting on the paper door.

"I used to be a very troublesome person, often late, lively and active, and liked childhood sweethearts." She said.

Hatake Kakashi didn't want to continue this topic for a moment.

Her description of her younger brother made Kakashi think of a name that had been engraved on the Heroic Monument.

Kakashi covered his forehead, shook his head, and sighed softly.

The woman sitting behind the sliding door had keen hearing and even caught this sigh.

"What's the matter? Kakashi?" There was a trace of confusion in her gentle voice: "Did my concubine mention something that shouldn't be mentioned...?"

Her voice was beautiful, which made Kakashi feel that he was unforgivable for sighing.

"It's okay, I'm just...well, I'm a little hungry, I'll just go and eat something later." He said.

Obviously she considers herself the eldest sister, but at this time, Kakashi needs to comfort her instead.

The paper door suddenly moved away, revealing a slightly larger gap.A small blue box with delicate bundles was pushed out, and the fingers resting on it were green and tender.

"You are at a growing age, you should eat in time."

As she spoke, the sliding door closed again.

Kakashi stared at the box of snacks on the ground, unable to speak.Thinking of the door that was closing quickly, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, are you going to spend your whole life hiding behind those curtains and doors without seeing any outsiders?"

"...Is there anything wrong with this?" Her voice was slightly tired: "I am not good at rejecting other people's orders and requests."

Kakashi heard the tiredness in her voice, held back what he was about to say, and left.When he left, he didn't forget to take the box of snacks with him.

After Kakashi's footsteps walked away, Izumi immediately fell down and fell asleep.

——Without recharging for a long time, it is really tiring to use advanced illusion.

It was late at night, and the sky was a deep dark blue.On a clear night in winter, the river of stars stretches like water.Sitting cross-legged on the roof, Kakashi untied the string from the snack box.After the knot was pulled away, the long leaves wrapped around the snack box were scattered, revealing a thin red rope with a bright red color.

Kakashi lowered his eyes, staring at the rope.

He remembered that he had seen this red string somewhere - it seemed that one day in the past, when Izumi ordered the maid to close the curtain and personally treated Kakashi's wound.Such a rope was tied to those gentle hands protruding from under the curtain.Red string white muscle, very beautiful.

"Accidentally fell into it while packing?" Kakashi whispered.

He put the red string into his ninja bag.

The village finally decided that the third generation would continue to be Hokage and lead the village.For this reason, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's opponent, Shimura Danzo, had a gloomy face all day long, and never gave his subordinates a good look.

Because the old Hokage was re-elected, there was no Hokage inauguration ceremony.The daimyos left Konoha one after another after choosing Hokage, and Kakashi never found the person who cast the illusion on the daimyo.Lacking accurate information, he could only report the matter to the third generation, reminding him to pay attention to the movements of the daimyos.

Time flies, and it will be another two years in a blink of an eye.

In the past, Hatake Kakashi was very resistant to the task of protecting Izumi, but now he will unshakably perform the same task every summer-to protect the safety of Izumi when Asakura Daimyo travels.

Kakashi thought so - if he didn't answer Izumi's innocent and stupid questions, then a caged bird like her would be bored.

Although Kakashi would go to Asakura Daimyo's mansion every summer, Kakashi had never seen her real face.That imperial curtain will never be lifted, it always hangs down in front of her, like a clear boundary, dividing the two people on both sides of Lei Chi.

As Kakashi grew older, he acquired a bad habit: carrying "Kindness to Heaven" with him.

This is a series of adult-only books written by Jiraiya, one of the Sannin.Through an indescribable way, it was bought by 16-year-old Hatake Kakashi.In his free time, he squats on the roof, sits on a tree, hides in a corner, and silently reads a book, regarding it as a treasure comparable to the Bible.

Although Kakashi has never been in love with a woman, the romantic history described in the book is very attractive to him, and he has spent a lot of boring time when performing tasks.No matter where he goes, he will carry a copy of "Massacre in Heaven" in his ninja bag, in his hand or in his pocket.The same is true when performing tasks.

So, one day, when he was passing by the gate of the spring, the little book fell down like this, and was left silently in the corridor.Then, he was picked up by Quan.

"... make love to heaven?"

She murmured and read it, and opened the book that Kakashi Hatake held in his hand all the time.

——If this book is good, she will buy a set for Obito.Obito is getting less and less cute.She imitated Madara's speech when she had nothing to do, making her think that she had dreamed back to the Warring States Period in a trance.

After turning two pages, she let out a "hiss" inhalation sound.The content of this book is really indescribable, it made her feel blush and heartbeat.

--Decided!Just buy a set of "Kindness to Heaven" for Obito and take it home.

Footsteps were heard in the corridor, and the masked silver-haired ninja came back unsteadily.It looked like he was passing by unintentionally, but he was actually looking for a book that had been left on the ground.

Quan coughed lightly, and passed the book under the curtain.

"You read it?" Kakashi asked.

"Concubine..." She pushed the book forward again, with a trace of shyness in her voice: "It's just a momentary curiosity."

Kakashi:  …

For the first time, he felt ashamed in front of her.

He was even a little worried - would she think that he left this book here on purpose?

"I accidentally dropped it." Kakashi coughed, his voice was lazy: "Don't think too much."

"... nothing... a lot of thinking. It's just a book." She replied.

A drop of cold sweat hung on Kakashi's forehead.

——Too bad, it seems that it's okay if you don't explain it, but if you explain it, she wants to go wrong.He has no interest in married women.

The silver-haired boy withdrew and left.

Already 16 years old, he is no longer that skinny kid.His arms with the Anbe Fire Emblem tattooed on them are muscular, and his stature is getting taller day by day.Although the lazy look with his hands in his trouser pockets would make people think he is unreliable, but Izumi knows that Kakashi is a very good ninja.

Daimyo Asakura came back, and Hatake Kakashi immediately entered a state of vigilance.

The reason why he took the initiative to undertake this task was not only for Izumi, but also to find out the person who manipulated the daimyo behind the scenes and tried to influence Konoha Hokage's election.

He raised his forehead to reveal Sharingan.This time, the operator relaxed his vigilance, or did it on purpose, so that he could clearly see the traces of Chakra Flow when performing the technique.

Immediately, he was stunned to find that the chakra flowed to the place he had just walked out of - the person he had been looking for, who used illusion to control the daimyo, was Quan.

Hatake Kakashi suddenly felt cheated.

How can this be?

It's not that Hatake Kakashi hasn't considered this possibility, but it's the last possibility he wants to admit.

She has always treated him like an elder sister, never showing any malice.Those caring words and gentle care are not hypocritical, but like a trickle of water, Hatake Kakashi gradually got used to her attitude of receiving people and things.

Even without seeing her face, Kakashi thought she should be the type who "has never hurt anyone".

He remained silent for a while, then silently walked back to the bamboo curtain, and squeezed his palm tightly.There was a slight bulge under his black glove. It was a thin red string hidden under the glove and clinging to his wrist.

"Kakashi, are you back?"

She didn't seem to notice what happened, her voice was as soft as before.

However, the chakra vein captured by Sharingan clearly showed Kakashi that she was a ninja.

There was only one thought left in Hatake Kakashi's mind - her tenderness, concern, and helplessness were all false.The image she showed him was all lies.

"Kakashi?" She tilted her head, her black hair falling on her shoulders.The bright and beautiful carnation-colored coat was eye-catching.

The bamboo curtain between the two of them became an eyesore.

Kakashi had never seen her face, but he wasn't going to take it anymore.

Hatake Kakashi frowned, his five fingers gripped the lower end of the bamboo curtain, and he simply lifted it upwards.With a bang, the curtain between the two of them was lifted without any scruples.

"You are the one who performed the illusion, Izumi."
