[Naruto] Stunning

Regardless of appearance, Princess Tsurumi of the Country of Flowers has a much better reputation than Princess Rika of the Country of Fire.Elegant, intelligent, approachable, always with a comfortable and just right smile on her face, she has no airs of a princess at all.What's even more rare is that it is said that Tsurumi has both talents and talents, and all the teachers who have taught her are full of praise.As early as two years ago, when she was Lixiang's age, she was known as "the most talented woman in the country of flowers".

There is a popular saying in the country of flowers - "When you marry a wife, you should marry the princess Tsurumi".

Among the aristocratic women in many countries, large and small, Tsurumi is undoubtedly the most ideal princess model.

As for Princess Lixiang of the Fire Country, it is rumored that she has a beautiful appearance, but her temper is really unflattering.

The rumors have always been suspected of exaggerating the facts. Lixiang is beautiful, but she is not to the point where she can really overwhelm the country; although her temper is not likable, it is not unbearable.

——At least a certain Konoha ninja can still get along with her quite well. — heavy fog.

In short, the Princess of the Country of Flowers and the Princess of the Country of Fire represent two completely opposite types of noble ladies.

Although the two of them disliked each other in their hearts, they still maintained a peaceful and friendly attitude on the surface. No, it should be said that it was Tsurumi, Princess of the Kingdom of Flowers, who unilaterally maintained a friendly attitude.

Li Xiang has a thin mind, showing emotions, emotions, sorrows and joys. She doesn't want to be seen, she doesn't want to be seen. She never thought of covering up or whitewashing her emotions.In terms of her status, she does have the qualifications to be so arrogant.

However, Rika hates Tsurumi not because he is more likable than she is, nor is it because he has a literary talent that is far beyond her reach.It's because—she thinks people wearing a hypocritical mask are really disgusting.Tsurumi is yes, and so is Mrs. Hana no Kokuni daimyo.

Rika doesn't care too much about what kind of wife her elder brother Xiude will marry in the future, but it must not be Tsurumi.She absolutely cannot tolerate being a family member and living under the same roof with someone like Tsurumi.

"...Anyway, I don't care, it doesn't matter who my brother marries, but absolutely, never marry a guy like Tsurumi!"

When the pear fragrance was full of indignation, Tsurumi and Mrs. Hana no Daimyo had already left the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion.For her sudden intrusion to disrupt the situation, except for Xiude who reprimanded her as usual, no one present expressed displeasure—her parents, mother and all the attendants would naturally not say that she was not, and the one from the Kingdom of Flowers For mother and daughter, even if they are unhappy, they will not show it on their faces, let alone this is still in other people's territory.

Despite being glared at by Rika, Mrs. Hana no Kuni Daimyo and Tsurumi still maintained a gentle and generous smile, and left politely.

Rika squinted at their backs, wrinkled her nose, and firmly opposed the marriage between the two countries.

Daimyo and Shijimi did not express their opinions, but said: "Showtoku's own life-long affairs, you can decide for yourself."

Xiude didn't take her sister's words seriously, and said calmly, "I think that Princess of the Kingdom of Flowers is a good marriage partner."

That tone was so cold that it didn't seem like he was talking about his life's event.

Li Xiang stared at him with wide eyes: "Does brother like Tsurumi?"

Xiude put on a serious look, and frowned slightly, as if she thought she asked a question that was not worth mentioning: "What do you like or not, I want to marry someone who can be the future wife of the fire country daimyo." woman, this is the only standard."

Daimyo and Shijimi looked at the eldest son with a bit of hesitation.

Hidetoku looked at Rika bitterly, and added: "Stop playing around, choose your future marriage partner carefully, don't just like Kakashi-kun nonsense."

Li Xiang stared at him dissatisfied: "I didn't patronize to play!"

Xiude didn't want to argue with her, so he said angrily: "You often say you hate that princess of the Kingdom of Flowers, but when it comes to the manners and upbringing that a princess should have, you are far inferior to her."

Before Rika could refute, Shizhimei couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Xiutoku is such a boring man, no wonder he thinks it doesn't matter to marry Tsurumi."

While yawning, the daimyo said, "It is your freedom to choose who to marry, but you should carefully consider the matters related to your life, Hidetoku-kun."——It is rare for the father of the fire country daimyo to say a pertinent sentence.

Hearing this, Xiude looked at his parents seriously, frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Does your father and mother not like Tsurumi?"

As soon as the words finished, Li Xiang rolled her eyes at him, and said in a very contemptuous tone: "You don't like it yourself, and you still ask your parents and mothers! Brother is so stupid, it is you who marry your wife, not your father and mother!"

Xiude ignored the sentence "Brother is so stupid" for the time being, and said seriously: "You are the one who shouldn't think of everything so simply, didn't I say that what I want to marry is not only my wife, but also the future The Lady of the Land of Fire. Just marrying whoever you like is too childish."

Just as Xiude is dissatisfied with Rika who always does whatever she wants, Rika also disdains her brother's theory of "everything is based on the overall situation".

Marriage is a life-long thing, if you can't marry the person you like, the life time is so long, and the husband and wife are not in the same heart, it would be too sad.

However, Xiude felt that this was the path he should take as the heir of a daimyo, and of course it was the path that Rika, the princess of a country, should take.

The Fire Nation daimyo took a step back and asked, "Don't talk about your identity, just from a personal point of view, what kind of girl does Hidetoku like?"

Xiude frowned, and there was a moment of confusion on his face, obviously he had never thought about this question. ——If he is as willful as Rika, only doing what he wants to do, and only showing affection to the person he likes, what kind of girl will he like?

The eldest son of the famous name has never indulged himself in disregard of his identity and responsibilities in more than 20 years.

After a long while, Xiude looked up at his mother and sister, and said hesitantly: "Probably... definitely don't be a girl like Mushang and Lixiang."

The movement of the daimyo swinging the folding fan paused, and he no longer had the courage to look at his wife and daughter beside him.

Zhizhimei and Rika said that they must sever the mother-child/brother-sister relationship with that annoying guy! Damn it! ! (╰_╯)#

***

Before Xiude's marriage was finalized, it was delayed by another matter.

Being able to enjoy priority over the marriage of the eldest son of the famous name is naturally an imminent event.

It has something to do with the daimyo's direct guard team - the Guardian Ninja Twelve.

To be precise, it has something to do with the radicals of the Guardian Ninja Twelve.

There is no doubt that everyone who guards the Twelve Warriors of Ninja is loyal to the fire country daimyo, but the 12 people are not of the same heart.The guardian ninja is divided into two factions-the radical faction headed by Kazuma, and the conservative faction headed by Chiriku and Asma.

Kazuma has always been dissatisfied with the existence of Konoha Ninja Village and Hokage, and also disdains the Nation of Fire's alliance with other countries. "It is enough for the Land of Fire to have Daimyo-sama, but Hokage holds the military power but does nothing, why doesn't Daimyo-sama abolish Konoha Ninja Village and take back the power?One is to prevent Konoha from having two minds; the other is to use troops where it is beneficial for the Kingdom of Fire to become more powerful.As it is now, Konoha Village, which has many elite ninjas, is doing boring tasks, which is really outrageous. "

When Ma Yan and Ma Yan sincerely spoke to the fire country daimyo, the unreliable daimyo was reading the latest issue of "Intimate Heaven" for the second time, and asked perfunctorily without thinking: "You You said... use your forces where it is beneficial for the Nation of Fire to become more powerful—what do you mean?"

"Naturally, it is to annex other incompetent countries and dominate them all." Hema replied decisively, and began to express his ambitions endlessly, saying that he would create a grand hegemony and make the country of fire surpass all countries.

It can be summed up in just a few words - aggression and expansion.

The daimyo finally shifted his eyes from the book to him, with a deadpan face, neither agreeing nor disapproving.Kazuma faced the sight of the king of the country in front of him without fear, and he had already made up his mind to dedicate everything to the prosperity of the country.

A bird flew by the window, twittered, flapped its wings and disappeared again.

"Well, this kind of thing... I trust Konoha's judgment."

Back then, it was Konoha's proposal to stop the war, sign peace agreements and form alliances with other countries.As for the operation of Konoha Ninja Village, under normal circumstances, the daimyo does not interfere at all.

Hema's fiery heart seemed to sink into a cold abyss in an instant.He had long felt that the daimyo was being deceived by Konoha, so he would let him do whatever he wanted.

No, not just daimyo.The successor of the next monarch, Hidetoku, and the princess, Rika, are all bewitched by Konoha.The Daming Mansion might be reduced to Konoha's puppet—and Ma was deeply worried.

In this short moment, He Ma secretly made a decision—let him wake up the sleeping beast of the Fire Kingdom.

The daimyo covered his mouth with a fan and yawned, and said with a tired face: "Is there anything else with Mr. Ma? If not, let's call it a day."

"Yes." He Ma responded, closing his eyes to hide the sharp light in his eyes, knelt down on one knee and saluted him before turning around and retreating.

The daimyo sat alone in his seat for quite a while, the look on his face was not only tired but also regretful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.After a long time, the middle-aged king of the Kingdom of Fire let out a deep breath, and called the attendants outside the door: "Go and get Di Lu and Asma."

For a long time afterwards, there was an atmosphere of tranquility before the storm in the Daming Mansion.

Rika is unhappy about not being able to go out to participate in the water lily festival, and she is completely unaware of it.

Until the beginning of July, the night was dark and quiet, only the lanterns hanging between the aisles in each courtyard exuded a faint orange light.

The guards watching the night suddenly disappeared, and under the dark night, the entire Daming Mansion was shrouded in an eerie silence.

I don't know if it's because of the hot summer or something else, but Li Xiang didn't sleep well.Waking up in the middle of the night, I felt a little thirsty in my throat, and was about to call the maid outside, when I turned my eyes away, but saw a tall and tall figure approaching by the window.

The man walked to the bed and saw that she was awake, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, princess. It's urgent, please come with me."

The familiar voice can be heard clearly in the still night.

Lixiang was astonished, and before she asked anything, the first sentence she blurted out was: "You didn't come for the Water Lily Festival! It's in vain that I expected so much from you!"

A certain number one technician who was performing an important task froze for a moment - don't worry about such trivial things in such an urgent time, okay! ! !
