[Naruto] Stunning

Kakashi returned to Konoha, and was dispatched by Hokage to perform an urgent task-to find Princess Rika without even standing on his heels.Tianzang, Yuhihong and Xuanma are also on the same team as him.

Sarutobi Hiruza said apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi. The mission of the Rainbow Country is not easy. It is rare for you to complete it satisfactorily, but now you don't even have time to rest. But the princess's disappearance cannot be repeated." Delay, I will let you take half a month off after this mission is over."

Kakashi has no time to care about the welfare of whether he is on vacation or not at the moment. It is rare that he did not droop his dead fish eyes, and his eyes were clear: "Zhiwei-san and the guards of the Daming Mansion have not found the princess for a month. It seems It’s the work of wandering ninjas who are good at deceiving people.”

After all, they have been together day and night for more than two months. Although Kakashi has to accommodate her many times, although Kakashi does not like Rika for a long time, he definitely does not hate her.

She was just a spoiled child—the first technician knew that she was pure in nature and had absolutely no intention of harming others.

Of course, the matter of "exchanging a castle for a Konoha and a Hatake Kakashi" that made him a joke in the ninja world is another matter.

The disappearance of the princess is of great importance, and it is likely to be used by suspicious people (such as He Ma and his gang) to provoke the relationship between Daming Mansion and Konoha.

The Kakashi team went to the Daimyo Mansion to learn about the progress there. On the way, Tianzang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior Kakashi is finally back. Recently, because of the princess, the third generation has been frowning. I'm worried."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the head of Konoha ninja Hokage, although it is the supreme honor, but the pressure is not less than the honor.There has been no news of the princess so far, and the daimyo has already released a word under the rage - if the princess is not found again, the funds allocated to Konoha from the national treasury next year will be reduced by half, and a disarmament policy will be implemented when necessary.

Konoha is known as the "No. [-] Ninja Village" in the ninja world, and its strength has never been doubted.But no matter how powerful it is, it is still a ninja village belonging to the country of fire, and it needs the financial support of the country to operate normally.If it is disarmed, although it is not a catastrophe, the strength accumulated over the years will definitely be greatly weakened, and the name of "No. [-] Ninja Village" will change hands.

The ninja village that has been disarmed in recent years is no stranger to the country of sand hidden in the country of wind.During the Second Ninja World War, Hidden Sand Village and Konoha were evenly matched. In the end, Konoha won slightly because of the super elite ninjas such as Bai Fang and Sannin.However, over the past ten years after the war, Konoha has become stronger and stronger with the support of the state, while Sand Hidden Village has gradually declined due to the disarmament policy of the land of wind daimyo, so they have to cultivate Renzhuli as a killing tool.

Konoha also has Renzhuriki, but Kakashi absolutely does not want to see his mentor's son being used as a tool for killing.

Xuan indirectly passed Tianzang's words: "Well, anyway, with Kakashi-san around, I feel a lot more at ease."

Kakashi is a leader among Konoha's younger generation of ninjas. The title of "No. [-] Technician" is neither based on family background nor luck. "Root" is also well-known.

Tianzang, who had just joined Anbu, had admired him as a senior since his student days.Genma used to be one of Namikaze Minato's personal guards, and he had no doubts about the strength of this student who was loved by the Fourth Hokage.However, both Kakashi and Kureni Yuhi knew that they were too optimistic-not to mention the Jōnin squad sent by Konoha earlier, and the daimyo's direct guards and guardian ninjas were all one-in-a-thousand ninjas, but these people worked hard I've been looking for more than a month with no news.

Asma and Yuhihong often have correspondence, and the red-eyed beauty is very aware of how serious the current situation is.

As Kakashi grew older, his arrogance in his youth gradually precipitated into self-confidence, but even if he was known as "the number one technician in Konoha", he still didn't have the confidence to regain Rika at this time.

The Kingdom of Fire is so big, it's not easy to find someone secretly like a needle in a haystack.Besides, maybe Rika is no longer in the Fire Kingdom.

The Daimyo Mansion is neither happy nor resentful about the arrival of Kakashi and others, the atmosphere in the mansion has almost reached the worst level in history, lifeless and depressing.Everyone, no matter who they are, has no other expression except frowning.

The disappearance of Lixiang seems to have taken away all the vitality of Daming Mansion.

Shijimi was so sad that he fell ill, and Daimyo shut himself in his study and said he didn't want to see anyone. When Shutoku was receiving Kakashi's team, many days of worry formed a thin layer of frost on his handsome face.

"Kakashi-kun, as long as you can find Rika, you can choose any city in my fief." Hidetoku said.

No matter how you look at it, the eldest son of the great name doesn't seem like someone who can say such things.

The three of Xuanjian were surprised.

Kakashi has been with daimyo brothers and sisters before, and he knows that Rika said that he would exchange a castle for him because he was spoiled and willful, and a prudent and serious person like Shutoku said that a castle was used as a reward for getting Rika back. Emphasis on my sister.

They use the fief and city as bargaining chips at every turn. I really don't know whether to say that the two brothers and sisters are generous or absurd.

"It was my task to bring the princess back safely, Shutoku-san, don't worry." Kakashi said.

How could Xiude feel relieved, and said in a low voice with dim eyes: "It's been more than a month..." I don't know what I thought of in an instant, and then my expression changed, and I looked at the silver-haired young man with a somewhat indescribable look. Firm: "But if it's Kakashi-kun, there will be a way."

Kakashi couldn't help being taken aback, he really didn't understand where his sudden determination and trust came from. ——Obviously even the silver-haired genius himself is not completely sure.

Tenzo glanced at Hidetoku, and then at the respectful Minister An, who was beside him, thinking that Kakashi and the Daimyo House really have a very close relationship.

— Definitely foggy.

When Kakashi and the others left the Daimyo Mansion, it was unknown if it was because of the dim light of the slanting sun. In Xiutoku's eyes, the back of the silver-haired ninja suddenly overlapped with the tall back with a dagger in his memory many years ago.Although he has never mentioned it to anyone, that man is more like a father in his mind than his biological father, Fire Country Daimyo.

If it was that man's son, Xiu De would give him all his hopes.

***

Dew Street is merciless to girls who are sold here but try to escape.

In the backyard of Huazui House, Lixiang was tightly tied to the tree stump with a hard hemp rope, and the man next to her was holding a long wooden stick as thick as an arm and hitting her thigh hard one after another, surrounded by a circle of gloating and watching gorgeous woman.

Kanai stood at the front, with a lazy expression and standing posture, fiddling with a long cigarette stick with her right hand and puffing out clouds.She is the person Rika has ever seen who smokes the most other than Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Asma father and son, but it is a pity that Rika has no time to think about this at this time.Kikyo and Yuriko stand on the left and right sides of Kano.

"You are not the first woman who wants to escape from Lushui Street, and you probably won't be the last." Kano said leisurely, and then raised the corners of her lips as if to burst into poppies, "But, never People have succeeded."

Rika looked at her almost bursting with fire.

The burning pain in her leg followed the rise and fall of the stick like terrifying waves clamoring to swallow her up.Noble as she is, when did Lixiang suffer such physical pain, but she bit her lower lip tightly, tears swirled in her eyes but refused to let them fall.Normally, even a slight grievance would be enough to make her cry in the arms of Daimyo and Shijimi.

At this moment, the girl has only one extremely strong thought - when she returns to Daming Mansion, she must let her father raze the entire Lushui Street to the ground!

When Kikyo was sold to the Flower Drunken House, he also tried to escape and was caught and beaten.In front of Lixiang's pale face that was sweating from the pain, it reminded her of her poor self back then, so she couldn't help showing a look of unbearable: "Mom, it's her first offence, so forget it." Said: "Ling Lan, hurry up and apologize to Mommy Sang!"

Li Xiang refused to admit her name was Lily of the Valley.

Even though her hands and legs could not move, Rika stubbornly raised her jaw, and cast a contemptuous look at Kano and the others.The blood oozing from the lower lip dyed the lips into a bright red arc.

Seeing her appearance, Lily smiled disapprovingly and said, "No matter how much a girl resisted at the beginning, she didn't obediently try her best to please the man in the end? It's really too much to always think that she is a white lotus that emerges from the mud and is not stained." Disgusting." As he spoke, he turned his provocative eyes around the surrounding prostitutes and let out a mocking laugh.

Many people's expressions suddenly changed, and the original noisy voices disappeared into the air. At that moment, the only sound of spring water flowing through bamboo canes could be heard in the backyard.

There was no trace of timidity or retreat in Lixiang's big eyes that were slightly narrowed due to the pain, and she said with difficulty, slowly and clearly: "Don't confuse me with you low-bitch women!"

Like a sharp axe, the wooden stick almost cut off her thigh, and the skin and tender flesh under the clothes were already bloody.Princess Rika, who used to yell for days with a slightly sprained ankle, didn't even know where she came from for her perseverance to keep her silent.

There was only one unusually vivid thought left in her chaotic mind——she is a majestic princess of a country, and she must not show weakness to these low, cheap prostitutes!

Just when everyone thought that Lixiang would suffer even more because of her rude words, Jia Nao raised her hand to stop the executioner: "Enough, stop beating, it won't do me any good to maim her."
