Chapter 42: After this battle, Zhang will confess his feelings.
While the Hokage meeting room was busy preparing for battle, Ningxia was staring at the panel, deep in thought.
The sheep charm has broken through 50%, and the rabbit charm has also broken through 25%, which clearly indicates that the plot has undergone a huge change.
But the problem is... he didn't do anything! He just drank with A, and a few days after he came back, the Third Hokage died, and Danzo became the Hokage.
Sheep Charm (50%):
Soul out of the body.
It is also immune to all mental and soul attacks.
It can manipulate other people's dreams.
Physical contact can dispel the other person's soul (new addition)
Rabbit Charm (25%):
Speed Force (the more talismans you have, the faster you go)
Spatial talent MAX.
Unknown effects?
Seeing the rabbit talisman with an untraceable unknown effect, Ningxia was stunned. Could it be...? No, wasn't time travel an accident?
After thinking about it, Ningxia pondered that her talisman... was far beyond the original version of the Holy Lord's, so it was reasonable for it to be a bit outrageous.
"Mr. Ningxia..."
Hongdu came here specifically because there's going to be a war, and she's afraid she'll have to go to the battlefield. She's worried that if she doesn't come this time, she might never be able to see Ningxia again.
"It's red, what's wrong?"
Ningxia looked up at Hong and suddenly realized that the whole world seemed different, as if it had countless loopholes, and as long as she was fast enough, she could travel through time and space.
It took me a while to realize, is this spatial talent?
"Um... Mr. Ningxia..."
From Hong's perspective, she felt like Ningxia was staring intently at her, as if...
"Hmm? Sorry... I was just thinking about something. Hong, is there something you need?"
After realizing what had happened, Ningxia quietly apologized to Hong, since staring at the girl like that was inappropriate.
"Ah!? No...nothing...it's just...I came to see Red Bean, and..."
Hong reluctantly took out a bag of money, which she had obtained by selling all her wine collection. After all, it was uncertain whether she would live or die on the battlefield, so she might as well pay off some of the money first.
"Oh? Actually, I'm not in a hurry. You can pay it back slowly."
Ningxia was surprised that Hong would suddenly give her so much money, and instinctively wanted to refuse. But Hong was very firm this time. After forcing the money into Ningxia's hands, she went to find Hongdou.
"etc."
Ningxia stopped Hong and told her to wait there. She then went to the bedroom to find materials and made a protective amulet for Hong on the spot, imbued with the divine power of the Horse Talisman.
"Here, take this. I wish you a safe return from the battlefield."
Ningxia said softly. Hong was stunned for a moment, then calmly accepted the amulet and promised to always carry it with her.
"May you be well."
Ningxia smiled and offered his blessings. During his time in Konoha, Hong was one of his few friends.
"Um……"
Hong gripped the amulet tightly and nodded. Actually... she also realized that she seemed to have a different feeling towards Ningxia.
It was like... the sense of security she felt when her father was still alive before the Nine-Tails' rampage, but not exactly the same.
How about... after we win this war and come back, I confess my feelings to Mr. Ningxia? Even if I fail, it'll be fine.
As Hong left the clinic with the amulet, a man with a cigarette in his mouth and a stubble appeared. He looked at Hong with surprise as she played with the amulet like a little girl who had received a toy.
"red."
The man exhaled a puff of smoke and greeted Hong.
"Asuma? What are you doing here?"
Because of the death of the Third Hokage, Asuma, who was away, specially returned to attend the funeral. In addition, Iwagakure wanted to start a war, so he could not leave now.
After a moment of silence, Hong had no choice but to speak first:
"Asma, please accept my condolences."
The last time she met Asuma was at the Third Hokage's funeral. Since the Third Hokage's wife had passed away first, Danzo took care of everything, and Asuma was also observing mourning.
With war looming, Danzo had no choice but to hastily end the operation and put the entire village on high alert.
Asuma originally wanted to go to the battlefield, but Danzo refused, saying that the safety of the village was also important.
But the real reason... is self-evident.
This angered Asuma, who felt he was being treated like an incompetent young master.
Unfortunately, Danzo is now the Hokage, so there's nothing he can do.
Frustrated, Asuma decided to go find Kurenai. The two were in the same year and class. Asuma had a crush on Kurenai when they were young, but later he ran away from home after arguing with his father.
Now... he wants to try to get out through fame.
"Phew... Hong, shall we go get a drink? I... I feel really down."
"No, I need to go home and prepare for the battle, Asuma... smoke less."
Red frowned, refused Asuma, and left without looking back.
Asma looked at the cigarette in his hand, unsure whether to throw it away or keep it.
"..."
The following day, with the war about to begin, Kakashi had no choice but to leave Ningxia's home. Although he had recovered, what was wrong with lovers living together?
"Ningxia...I will definitely come back."
Kakashi gently hugged Ningxia and assured her, "War...how disgusting it is."
But Danzo was right; compromise cannot bring peace, and this war must be fought.
"I will wait for you."
Ningxia said softly, gently tidying the white-haired beauty's hair in her arms.
Ningxia originally wanted to help Kakashi remove his scars, but Kakashi said it was one of the things she wanted to remember her two friends by.
So... please forgive her selfishness.
Ningxia didn't care; the scar didn't affect Kakashi's looks. She was just asking for his opinion to see if he wanted to.
In addition, Ningxia also helped Kakashi solve the problem of the Sharingan. Now she can control the Sharingan's on/off state at will and can transform into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Perhaps because Kakashi's physique is not as good as Shisui's, his limit is only the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and he cannot achieve more than that at present.
"Well then, I'm going now."
After taking a shower, Kakashi put on his real combat uniform, put the horse charm in his pocket, put on a mask, and covered his Sharingan with his headband.
Although his eyes have recovered, who besides himself and Ningxia knows? What if he suddenly explodes halfway through the fight?
"Be careful on the road."
Ningxia came to the door to see Kakashi off, as did Naruto and Haku, and Yugao. Living under the same roof, it was inevitable that feelings would develop between them.
However, halfway there, Kakashi suddenly waved to Ningxia, and after Ningxia came over, he whispered somewhat uncertainly in her ear:
"If... I don't come back, then you can look at Yugao, Hongdou, or any of them who are suitable to replace me..."
Ningxia raised her hand and punched Kakashi on the head. Faced with Ningxia's angry glare, Kakashi shrank back guiltily.
Ningxia has a really good temper, but that doesn't mean he won't get angry. Kakashi gets scared every time he sees signs of anger in him.
"If you keep talking nonsense, don't come looking for me."
"Feel sorry……"
This time, Kakashi really didn't dare to speak carelessly, and quickly turned around and went to the area where the Jonin were gathered.
Danzo, dressed in the Hokage robe, began his battle speech. At this moment, not only Iwagakure but also Sunagakure, seeing that Kumogakure had succeeded and Iwagakure had launched a raid, came over to kick them while they were down.
However, Kumogakure did not take any action. After all, they had taken Konoha's money, and if they turned around and attacked them, it wouldn't just be a matter of shame, but a matter of credibility.
