[Comprehensive] Doing a puzzle

Kakashi knew that if the current scene was caught by outsiders, he would get into trouble.

The woman sitting behind the curtain was the concubine wife of the nobleman and the woman of Kakashi's client.

What lies between the two is not only the bamboo curtain, but also the difference between ninjas and nobles.

However, Kakashi's hand could not be stopped.

Those rules, taboos and dogmas have all been left behind, and now he just wants to lift the blinding bamboo curtain, take a look at her true face, and see clearly what kind of woman she is.

With a bang, the curtain was thrown open.The dim light of the sky penetrated into the small space behind the curtain and fell on the woman's fair face.

"Kakashi, get out, you shouldn't be doing this."

she says.

However, instead of retreating behind the curtain as she said, Kakashi let go of the bamboo curtain and let it hang down behind him; not only that, but he even took a step forward.

She was just as he imagined, a young woman in her early 20s, with black hair and fair skin, and charming eyebrows and eyes.But she is different from what Kakashi imagined, because her appearance is too beautiful, and after one glance, she will be indifferent to other things.

"Are you a magician?" Kakashi took another step closer, and now he was only a small step away from Izumi.

"...Concubine..." She opened her mouth, her eyes moving slightly.

"Hiding in the dark to control the daimyo, what do you want to do?" Kakashi asked.

"I... just want to live better here." She lowered her head and said in a low voice.

When she lowered her head, Kakashi could only see the top of her jet-black hair.

"Better alive? What do you mean?"

"The concubine is not the only concubine of the daimyo. If the concubine doesn't do this, I'm afraid what Kakashi sees is not a concubine."

Kaka hid on his face behind the mask, his expression gradually faded.

It's not that he didn't doubt Quan, but he didn't want Quan to have any unreasonable thoughts about Konoha Ninja Village.If she is Konoha's enemy, Kakashi will definitely not let her go; but if she is just using illusion to compete for favor, then it doesn't matter.

It was a rainy summer and the weather was gloomy.The sound of tiny raindrops falling from the sky and pattering in the courtyard broke the silence.Quan quickly stretched out his hand, pushed Kakashi away, and said in a low voice: "If you let others see it, His Highness will blame you."

She put her ten fingers on Kakashi's chest and pushed him away from the curtain.Kakashi moved her hand away from her chest, and the cold and perfunctory boy's voice reached her ears: "I will go out by myself."

The hands of the two clasped for a moment, and her five fingers quickly slipped away from Kakashi's palm.The curtain fell, blocking Kakashi's view again.For him now, he could only see a section of carnation-colored lower garment in the gap.

"Since you know illusion, it means you are not an ordinary person. Why do you still stay here willingly?" Kakashi asked.

"Is there any harm in staying here?" she replied.

"There is no freedom, and there is no fun." Kakashi said: "It must be that my life is happier."

"The concubine is His Highness's concubine." She said.

Kakashi suddenly became discouraged.

He sighed softly, and said slowly: "It seems that I have nothing in common with your ideas."

He is a ninja, thinking about the village, missions, life and death, and war all day long; while she is the concubine of a nobleman, her rigid education makes her only think about things in this small backyard.Even if you have learned illusion, you can only think of using it to compete for favor and seek a place to live.

"That string of bracelets..." Quan suddenly said.

"Ah?" Kakashi was slightly stunned, and raised his wrist, only to realize that her push and push just now exposed the circle of red rope he had hidden under his glove.Kakashi couldn't help being slightly embarrassed, but he never showed these emotions, he just said lightly: "You gave it to me in the snack box before. Why? Didn't you give it to me?"

"Yeah." Quan replied slowly: "I thought I lost it. But since it's at Kakashi's place, let's give it to Kakashi."

Kakashi suddenly felt a little hot in his hands.

——This guy, you don't think he took her personal things away secretly, right? !

Kakashi put his hand into his trouser pocket and covered the string together.At the same time, he opened his mouth in a flat and lazy tone, trying to act as if nothing had happened: "So you accidentally lost it. Don't worry, I didn't have strange thoughts about you. According to you, it probably It's the 'brotherhood of siblings'."

She has always taken care of herself as a younger brother, so let him use this sentence as a shield.

"Yes." She answered.

"...One more question for you at the end." Kakashi said: "Your husband... no, what kind of thoughts do you have in mind to marry Asakura? Is it just because you want a good life?"

She was silent.

"This kind of question is not what Kakashi should ask." After a long time, she said so.

Hatake Kakashi also realized his gaffe, he coughed lightly, and then left.

The mission was not over yet, but he went back to Konoha first, and told the third generation Hiruzaru Sarutobi about Asakura being manipulated by the side room with illusion.He originally thought that this matter would alert Hokage, but after asking him about the characteristics of the illusion in detail, Sandaimu puffed out smoke rings and said "Sure enough" several times, and there was no more.

As for what the "sure enough" that the third generation refers to, Kakashi can't find out.

Under Kakashi's suggestion, the third generation decided to send ninjas to conduct secret investigations on the nobles of the country of fire, lest other people extend their hands to the nobles and affect Konoha Ninja Village.

Kakashi returns to his home in Konoha.

With a click, the white light came on, illuminating the deserted room.In the Minato class group photo placed on the windowsill, Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara are standing in the photo frame, and their youthful looks are permanently frozen by the camera.The night wind blows in through the crack of the window, making the two silver bells hanging on the wall jingle.

Compared with Asakura's mansion, his room is rather shabby and gray in color.

Kakashi took off his mask, leaned on his forehead, and sat on the bed a little tiredly.Looking at the gray stone brick on the ground, he couldn't help but think of the bright carnation-colored hem.

Immediately afterwards, his thoughts were gone forever.

He thought of a pair of gentle palms on his chest, with slender fingers and lovely round nails, but it felt slightly cool to the touch; he also thought of the restless eyelashes when she lowered her head Trembling slightly, the loose black long hair slid down from her shoulders one by one.

Kakashi slumped on the bed, his gaze was aimlessly scanning the ceiling, and one hand unconsciously caressed the red string on his wrist.

"This really doesn't look like me..." He touched the length of red rope, muttering to himself with a little confusion.

He felt a little irritable.

His body was inexplicably restless.

In order to divert his attention, he opened the "Massacre in Paradise" that was left on the bedside.It's just that, no matter what, the words in the book can't pull his thoughts back from the strange place.Not only that, but the eclectic writing also brought subtle changes to his youthful body.

Kakashi stared at the book in his hand for a while with dead eyes, then got up silently, and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.

He put his clothes on the cabinet outside the bathroom and entered the bathroom naked.After turning on the faucet, the cold water rushed down.

Even cold water can't relieve the dryness and heat on the surface of the skin.He leaned his back against the dripping bathroom tiles, letting the cold water wash over his mind thoroughly.The silver hair was softly pressed against the forehead, and the water droplets rolled over the long scar on the eyelids and fell all the way down.He let out a breath, stretched out his palm to a certain position, and gently moved his well-muscled arms.

"Although it shouldn't be, but there is no other way..."

His slightly self-loathing voice came along with the rushing water in the bathroom.

The next day, Kakashi returned to Asakura's mansion from Konoha to continue his unfinished task.This time, he simply went to see Quan directly, without going to see Daimyo first, and without alarming others.And she packed herself up early, as if she was waiting for him specially.

Kakashi didn't wear a mask, but still wore Anbu's clothes.The black sleeveless vest exposed his slender arms, and the silver-white armguards and black gloves outlined the undulating muscles on his arms.He fell from the tree without a sound, and stood in front of her through a bamboo curtain.

"Kakashi." She said, "I think you're right. It's not worth marrying someone you don't like for a good life."

She changed her name.

For some reason, Kakashi felt relieved.

"It's not too late to figure it out now." Kakashi's eyelids were half closed: "Talk to your husband, he won't force you to stay. If you can leave, then remarry someone who will cherish you Even if you can't leave, at least ask Asakura to change his ways and stop locking you in the backyard."

"Kakashi, do you also regard me as your sister now?" she asked.

"Ah...this." Kakashi glanced upwards: "Not really. We are just the relationship between the client and the entrusted."

Yes, that's all.Kakashi emphasized to himself inwardly.

"Is that all?" she asked again.

"... Ah..." Kakashi's eyes became more and more erratic: "It's a relationship that is more familiar than this."

"Kakashi?" She suddenly opened the curtain, stepped out from behind, and hugged him.Facing Kakashi's astonished eyes, she leaned on his chest: "Take me out of here? I want to go with you."

Quan's face was pressed against his body.

Kakashi's body stiffened instantly.

He stared straight at the swaying curtain behind Quan, not knowing where to put his hands.

"Wait, wait..." He uttered the words from his throat with difficulty.

"Don't you want to?" Quan raised his head and looked at him, with a touch of disappointment in his voice: "I thought Kakashi was treating me..."

"You are the daimyo's concubine, and I'm just a ninja." Kakashi subconsciously brought out these words.

"...Okay." She slowly let go of her hand.

The stone in Kakashi's heart dropped.

Just now, he almost couldn't help but hugged her back.But the vigilance and self-discipline of being a ninja allowed him to control his body in time and did not do what he shouldn't do.

Quan slowly went back behind the curtain, the slight disappointment still on her face.Soon, she turned around and faced Kakashi with her back, so that he could only see the black hair and carnation-colored lower skirt.

"Sorry." Kakashi touched his forehead with his hand, his fingertips across Konoha's logo.

"...The concubine is being abrupt." She replied.

"Ah, no, no." In order to ease the embarrassment that was everywhere, Kakashi smiled, waved his hands as if nothing had happened, and said, "Nothing happened."

Such an excuse seems to have fooled both of them.

Kakashi's mission is over, and he returns to Konoha.The third Sarutobi Hirzen conducted an investigation based on his information, and found that Asakura's concubine came from unknown origins, and his background was unknown.Since her appearance, Asakura has issued many unreasonable orders.Not only that, but many nobles who had close contact with Asakura were also affected like Asakura.

The information in front of Kakashi Hatake is short and true, and cannot be disputed.

The woman named "Quan" is not only good at illusion, but also proficient in ninjutsu and physical arts.Although she tried her best to hide her identity as a ninja, she couldn't escape the observation of interested people.

In Naruto's office, there were only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kakashi.

Kakashi's eyes wandered, his eyes swept back and forth in the text on the information.

"...ah, what should I do," he said.

Although I don't want to believe it, it is the truth.

Hatake Kakashi was deceived.

But in his heart, there was no anger of being deceived, only a touch of relief and rejoicing, and a bit of self-admiration of "as expected"-she was not really a caged bird who lost her freedom and was imprisoned, that was really too much. alright.

"How to solve it?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi breathed out a smoke ring, knocked on the desk, and looked at the portrait of Nidaime hanging on the wall: "The relationship between the nobles of the Fire Country and Konoha Ninja Village is intricate, If you do it casually, it may cause trouble. Kakashi, what do you think should be done?"

"Master Sandaimu thinks so much of me, I can't bear it." He said lightly, and put down the materials: "Why don't you take a look at what she wants to do. The leader of Yanyin Village is very good at doing this things, cooperate with the enemy, and use the enemy."

"That's fine." Hirizhan raised his pipe, staring at Nidaime's serious face: "She may not want to be Konoha's enemy...Let's observe again."

Hatake Kakashi nodded.

While his eyes wandered, he opened his mouth and made a suggestion: "...Master Third Generation, why don't you let me investigate her again."

Kakashi sneaked back to Asakura's mansion again.

The daimyo was holding a banquet, and the sounds of shamisen and shakuhachi could be heard faintly in the night.The rich aroma of wine spreads indistinctly.On rainy nights, the rustling rain passes through the branches and spreads a rain curtain under the eaves.

Such a lively banquet often means that outsiders will attend.And she will definitely not appear in front of outsiders.

Kakashi walked through the dark corridor and came to the familiar room.The paper door that was open during the day has been half closed, and the moisture brought by the rain spreads from underfoot.The dim light leaked from the gap, and the woman's gentle whisper came from it.

"Be careful next time and don't cut your hands again."

"Thank you ma'am."

Izumi is bandaging the maid who accidentally cut her finger.

The maid turned her head, saw Kakashi standing there through the half-open sliding door, and let out a short scream.Before her voice rose, Kakashi gave the maid a hand knife, causing the maid to faint faintly.Immediately, Kakashi dragged the maid to another room.

This set of movements was so smooth that Quan was stunned.

"...Kakashi?" Izumi stood up, with surprise in his eyes.

It was raining all night outside the house, and there was a soft rustling sound.The music of the banquet was faint, as if it was a whole world away from here.And they perched in the dark night, watching each other by a dimly lit lamp.

"I really can't do anything about you." Kakashi touched his short silver hair, his eyes became more and more lazy: "I know that you have probably been lying to me all the time, but I think it doesn't matter even if you're cheating. "

"At least one sentence is not a lie." She showed a soft smile, which was warm and light under the thin light: "I said that I wanted to go with Kakashi, it was true. Stay with Kakashi Together, very happy."

Kakashi was stunned.

He has only seen words similar to this in "Massiveness in Paradise".The silver-haired ninja with zero emotional experience was instantly speechless and didn't know how to answer.What made him even more at a loss was that she stuck up again, snuggling tightly into his arms.

This time, he slowly and slowly put his wrist around her waist.

"It's useless for you to tell me like this. I have no love experience." He sighed softly: "What should I do next? Or are you going to cast illusion on me?"

"Kakashi, you couldn't help but look at my face in the end." She whispered, "Then at least let me see your real face?"

Hatake Kakashi reached for his mask.

"It's nothing to show you." He pinched the mask and lifted it, and pulled it down, revealing the face of a young man: "Just don't be scared."

A long scar sprang out from under the forehead covering the eyes, almost running through the entire cheek.It's hard to imagine what kind of fierce attack left such a scar on his face.

A few seconds after he took off the mask, the woman in his arms raised her head and gave him a kiss.

The soft touch lingered on his lips and tongue, tossing and turning.After a long time, Izumi let go of Kakashi, and said softly, "Now, you have done something that will offend Daimyo. No matter how much you try to argue, it is useless."

"Huh?" Kakashi felt helpless at her unreasonable words.

"Since it's already like this." She raised her eyes, and her black eyes were like a pool of night: "Then do everything."

It rained continuously at night, and the sound of rustling filled the ears.A few summer leaves were knocked down by the rain and blown down to the corridor.On the wet leaves, the water droplets reflected a dim yellow light.Two entangled shadows cast on the paper door.The intertwined arms are reflected in the water droplets, and the direction of the world is reversed.

The author has something to say: I’m too old to be stuck in this section, I can’t think of any fun little theater _(:зゝ∠)_
