[Naruto] Stunning

In the blink of an eye, half a year later, the daimyo's eldest son, Hidetoku, who had been preparing for his marriage last winter, is still unmarried.It wasn't because he changed his mind, and of course it wasn't that Lanzi had changed his mind. If he insisted on saying it, it was because many retainers of the Daming Mansion unexpectedly strongly opposed the marriage.

Goto Masao Kiyosuke is outspoken, has a lot of political enemies, and has always been unpopular - but he didn't expect it to be so bad - more than half of his retainers opposed Goto Arashiko's marriage to the Daimyo Mansion.

Xiude has never been a person who will ignore the opinions of his subordinates and go his own way. This has earned him the reputation of "sage", but now he is in a dilemma.He didn't think that retiring the engagement would be a good choice, but he couldn't convince the retainers—however, as a daimyo's father, he still looked like he had nothing to do with him, didn't take sides with any of them, and just continued to enjoy himself Lived his fatuous daimyo life.

"Father doesn't like my brother marrying Lanzi?" Li Xiang asked while lying on her father's lap.

The daimyo took the tea handed by the tea master and took a sip: "That's not the case."

"Then why didn't my father speak for my elder brother?" The daimyo's attitude towards the eldest son's marriage, even the most beloved youngest daughter, Rika, couldn't figure it out.

It stands to reason that the Fire Country daimyo and his wife are actually very good at protecting their shortcomings.

"What can you tell him?" The daimyo put on the appearance of having nothing to do with himself, glanced at the eldest son who was worried about the recent things, and asked kindly and kindly: "Xiu De, you need me to marry you." Do you order the officials not to have half a word of objection?"

Xiu De, who was already frowning, glared at his father when he heard this, and said in a stiff tone: "Don't worry about it, father."

The daimyo nodded indifferently and continued drinking his tea.

Zhizhimei, who was busy teasing her pet tiger, suddenly interjected, "You are a daimyo, so just help Xiude tell those people to shut up, it's such an easy thing."

Before the daimyo could answer, Xiude squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "No, no, no!" After saying that, he turned and walked out of the Japanese room.

Li Xiang looked at her brother's figure that was fading away, until she could no longer see her, then turned her head and blinked to stare at her father who was still as immobile as a mountain, not understanding, not understanding.No matter how much she entangled Kakashi, the daimyo indulged her unbelievably. There must have been loyal retainers who accused her of inappropriate behavior, but the daimyo blocked her for her.

Unlike Xiude, Lixiang doesn't care about what others think of her. Anyway, it's not just a matter of a day or two for her to behave improperly.The daimyo made it clear that he favored his younger daughter, and those who don't know current affairs would talk too much.

However, no matter how much you don't favor the eldest son, you won't throw him into a group of old tricksters to fend for himself.

"I'm going to get married in the future, if someone objects, will my father not care?" Li Xiang pouted and asked pitifully.

Daimyo patted her head, like a loving father: "If someone dares to hinder Lixiang in the future, I will definitely throw him into the Songyang River to feed the water monster."

Li Xiang persisted: "Then why doesn't my father care about my elder brother!" Although I was very tired of my elder brother taking care of this and that, but seeing her elder brother being humiliated in front of all the retainers, Li Xiang was still very unwilling.

The daimyo smiled, the fat on his chin twitched several times, and said very patiently: "Pear fragrance is pear fragrance, and Xiude is Xiude."

ha? !Rika was confused when she heard this, and turned to her mother with a questioning look, but unexpectedly, her mother, Mrs. Shijimi, had already fallen asleep with Huzi in her arms.

Alas, don't guess what the king thinks ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Xiude's marriage has been deadlocked for half a year, and the flames of war spread to Lixiang unknowingly.

That day in the side hall of the Daming Mansion, more than a dozen retainers were criticizing Masao Goto one by one, Hidetoku kept a sullen face and remained silent, while the Daimyo listened with great interest.

While talking, I don't know who said something: "The honor of the palace is precious, and it will inevitably be coveted by people with ulterior motives... Even Mrs. Rika, I am afraid that Konoha ninja approached Mrs. Rika because of her greed for power and glory. !"

Although no name was named, it is self-evident who "that Konoha ninja" refers to.

Xiude's calm handsome face changed instantly, and he glared fiercely at the speaker.Even Daming couldn't help being taken aback, maybe he didn't expect that the spearhead would suddenly turn to Lixiang.

And Princess Lixiang, who was named by someone, regained her spirits from her drowsiness and stood up quickly. Her gorgeous costume set off her arrogance even more majestic.

"Power and glory?" The girl lifted her chin, arrogantly like a peacock with beautiful feathers, and raised her voice: "Can I afford it?" But it is power and glory, as if it is so precious, She has a lot of that kind of thing, okay?So what if she gave some points to the person she likes!

Li Xiang glanced at the crowd and snorted, "Who do I like and who do I get close to? It's none of your business? Are you my parents and elder brothers? You care so much!"

When she said this in front of Daimyo and Xiude, all the retainers turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt down and said "I dare not".

"Hmph, a bunch of boring old men!" Li Xiang, who lost her temper without any scruples, ignored how they were going to deal with the aftermath, lifted her skirt and walked out with her head held high and her chest thumping.

Said that Kakashi approached her because he was greedy for power and glory?When did he take the initiative to approach her! !

***

"Compared to Rikako's wealthy family background, no matter how powerful Cassie is, she is just a poor ninja. The elder brother persuaded Rikako earnestly: "That ninja must have coveted our family's money to show love to you. Don't be silly. Be deceived by him. "

Rikako retorted loudly, sobbing: "That's not true! Kaxi-kun's affection for me cannot be measured by money at all!"

No matter what others say, if even she doesn't believe in him, then who else will believe in their love?

…………

………”

——Excerpt from the second volume of "The Story of Rikako and Cassie"

"Are you mistaken? The more you write, the more outrageous it becomes..." Kakashi—ah no, Kakashi muttered to himself while flipping through the little pink book confiscated from his hapless subordinate Tenzo.

Kakashi has heard a little bit about the matter of "young ninjas approaching the daughter of a daughter for the purpose of money and power". Although he himself is quite disapproving, the young ninjas of Konoha, headed by Akai, are very angry , clamoring to kill him in the mansion of the famous retainer who slandered him to seek justice for him.

Kakashi stared at these passionate companions with dead fish eyes, thinking that if they continued to yell like this, he would probably be on the headlines of the entertainment section of Konoha Daily again.

Hidetoku is not married, and Konoha Ninja, who was sent to the Daming Mansion as a guard, returned as early as mid-January.On New Year's Day, Tianzang sneaked away to watch the movie premiere of "The Story of Rikako and Cassie". Unexpectedly, he was discovered by an unscrupulous boss. All the arrangements for him in the past six months have been bitter and tiring. task!

This is clearly public revenge!He wants to complain to the third generation and apply for a change of boss! ! ——Of course, this is just a beautiful idea, and it is still far away from reality.The young Anbu, who can't escape the oppression of the unscrupulous predecessors, can only drink to soothe his sorrows on some nights when the moonlight is not so bright, and he doesn't forget to invite the honest man Asma to vomit his bitterness.

It's pitiful to be one of the famous guardian ninja twelve warriors back then, who was treated as a trash can for human flesh and also had the function of enlightening and comforting.

"Send a letter?"

In Hokage's office, Kakashi stared at a thin envelope in his hand, and looked at the third Hokage standing by the window smoking a cigarette with some astonishment.

He, Kakashi Hatake, the number one technician in Konoha, a genius ninja in the ninja world, received a mission from Naruto's parents 1 minute ago-send a letter that is said to be very important to the Daimyo Mansion.

The drooping dead fish eyes make him look quite depressed, but he is still an elite ninja that is rare in ten years. Hey!Which ninja village in the peaceful era would send an elite jonin to deliver a letter, he must be playing with him, right?

"That's right." The old but angry voice sounded at the right time, and Hokage coughed twice, not knowing whether he was choked by the smoke or guilty of conscience, "Although Xinying usually does it for you, this time the matter is very important, please be sure to handle it yourself. Send the letter to your lord."

Seeing a trace of suspicion in the dead fish eyes of a competent subordinate, Hokage couldn't help coughing again, and the deliberately heavy voice was very convincing: "Can I ask you, Kakashi?"

... You are Hokage, do you think it's okay?

Kakashi knelt down on one knee and made a very formal salute: "Yes, Hatake Kakashi will definitely complete the task."

A flower bloomed between Sarutobi's wrinkles.

Oh hehehe, who told him that he is the top of the food chain in Muye Village, the top.

For the Daimyo Mansion, Kakashi is also an acquaintance - at least when he walks in the mansion, the guards and maids are used to it, and some guards who are more familiar with him will say something more, "Master Rika In the garden", the teasing and schadenfreude on his face were obviously too much.

Kakashi's good plan was to return to Konoha directly after delivering the letter, but when the daimyo sent his attendants to send him out of the mansion, he declined repeatedly, but failed.The guide led him through several courtyards, and was finally stopped in the princess's garden, leaving the silver-haired ninja half staring at the dead fish eyes, and walked away happily alone.

The young ninja's silver hair drooped like a wilted eggplant.

There is no need to go around the garden to get out of the Daming Mansion, do you think he doesn't know the way!

"What are you doing standing there, come and sit down." Sitting on the edge of the wooden corridor, Li Xiang tilted her head and patted the place beside her.

The young man paced past resignedly, and stopped a meter away from her. He stood leaning against the pillar with his arms folded, and glanced at the budding water lilies in the pond: "This year's summer came a little early."

Li Xiang didn't bother with him about whether to sit or not. Hearing what he said, she blinked her eyes in doubt and asked, "Is there any? The last time I saw you was spring, and it's been a long, long time." Then he pursed his mouth, which seemed to be a bit of a complaint.

The silver-haired ninja coughed lightly, and scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed—it just looked like, as to whether he was really embarrassed, he didn't know.

There were only the two of them in the huge garden, and even Liangzi, who was usually the most conscientious, was not there to serve her princess.

"Princess, is it okay for you to meet me alone like this? I approach you only because of my greed for glory and wealth." Before he could finish his self-deprecating words, he laughed himself first.

"Are you?" Li Xiang's eyes suddenly flashed a bright light, with a look of "I'm so rich and rich, come and get close to me".

The first technician immediately realized what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.

***

In the summer of Konoha's 56th year, Hidetoku, the eldest son of the daimyo, formally married Arashiko Goto, the daughter of a retainer.Previously, the marriage had been opposed by a group of powerful officials, and Xiude angrily scolded: "I don't need the consent of outsiders to marry a wife!" Everyone fell silent.
