"Big Brother Dedale, where did you go today? Why didn't I find you after searching for an entire day? Humph!" As soon as he returned home, Dedale heard a very cute loli voice.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a cute girl in a sweatshirt and hot pants. She had one hand on her waist and the other pointing at him. Her big black eyes were staring straight at him, and her chubby cheeks were puffed up angrily.
A series of information flashed through Dedale's mind when he saw the little girl's appearance." Hei Tu, look what big brother brought you.”
Dedale was an orphan. Ever since he had been accepted as a personal disciple by the third generation Mu Tuying, he had moved to the Tuying family. Naturally, he became unusually close to Hei Tu, the granddaughter of the third generation, who was also his junior sister.
After five years of interaction, Dedale had long since understood Hei Tu's mischievous and black-bellied character.
Since he knew that he would be blamed by the little follower Hei Tu for not playing with her today, how could Dedale not prepare a gift in advance?
Seeing the exquisite and lifelike flying horse model in Dedale's hands, Hei Tu's angry face immediately changed into a mischievous smile." The clay model made by Big Brother is still as beautiful as ever.”
"If you like it, I can help you with anything you want in the future.”Dedale said tenderly as he rubbed Hei Tu's short black hair.
Whether it was Hei Tu's father, Huang Tu, or his grandfather's third generation, both of them had given Dedale a lot of care and teachings. Dedale had long since treated them as his family, and this kind of deep affection had been transmitted to the current Dedale.
"Sure," Hearing Dedale's promise, Hei Tu's cute little face curved into a crescent moon." I'll remember every word my brother says. If I can't fulfill it, hmph hmph.”
Dedale was sweating profusely. How did this look like a seven-year-old girl?
"Right, Brother Dedale, Grandpa asked me several times today if he knew where you went. I think he has something to discuss with you. Hei Tu suddenly thought of something and said in a daze.
"Lord Tu Ying is looking for me?" Dedale's eyes were a bit flustered, and his expression turned ugly.
His predecessor had done it very discreetly and did not leave any flaws. It was absolutely impossible for him to be discovered. Even if they found out that the forbidden technique was stolen, they wouldn't suspect a nine-year-old child, right? Yes, calm down. You can't panic. You can't let anyone see anything.
"Brother Dedale, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”Hei Tu asked with concern.
"It's okay. I'll go first and play with you later.”Dedale's expression returned to normal. He put down the black soil, formed a few hand seals, and disappeared.
………………
"Lord Tu Ying, is there something you need from me?”In the study, Dedale appeared extremely respectful. The only people who could still shout in front of Shadow were the two chuunibyou kids, Naruto and Kigamaru.
"Yes, Dedale, you came. Why haven't I seen you all day?”Even though the third generation, the Earth Shadow Two-Libra Onoki, was not tall and was old, his prestige as a Shadow Level powerhouse did not diminish at all, and his voice was unusually loud.
"I don't like to be disturbed when I'm practicing ninjutsu.”Dedale calmly replied, but he was still paying attention to himself.
"It's rare for you to be so attentive. Not bad.”A smile appeared on Tu Ying's shriveled face as he looked at Dedale with a meaningful gaze." Something happened in the village recently. You should be careful and try not to go out alone."”
"Yes." Dedale became even more respectful.
"Yes, I have an important mission for you. This mission is very important to the village. You must complete it successfully.”
Dedale's tensed body slowly relaxed.
"Lord Tu Ying, although I am very confident in my own strength, it seems a little unreasonable to be assigned such a task at my age, right?”Dedale was bewildered by Earth Shadow's careful instructions.
"Haha, I knew that you wouldn't agree so easily if I didn't explain it to you clearly. The quest was just a simple escort quest, but because the person who was escorting me had a very noble status, I raised it to an important level.”
"I don't think I have the qualifications to protect such a big shot. Even if the village agrees, I think that big shot will have objections, right?”Dedale still couldn't understand.
"What if this big shot is about your age?”Looking at Dedale's enlightened face, the third-generation successor directly changed the topic.""Daming's most beloved little princess is currently playing in our hidden village. Your mission is to escort her back to Daming Manor. Daming only has one daughter, the little princess. Naturally, he treats her like the apple of his eye. The little princess's personality is inevitably a little spoiled. In order to ensure that nothing happens along the way, you have to control her well.”
"Do you think I have the ability to control her?”
"Hei Tu is not as arrogant as you. My words may not be as effective as yours. I believe that with your methods of dealing with my granddaughter, it should not be a problem for you to make the little princess submit!”
"You're clearly using me as a nanny.”Dedale's little face turned red.
"Haha, that's right. As long as you can coax the little princess to not cause trouble on the road, your mission will be completed. As for safety, you don't have to worry about it. I'll arrange for the Dark Group to follow you in secret.”
"Haven't you been pestering me to learn the Light and Heavy Rock Technique? As long as I can complete this mission, I'll give you these two ninjutsu techniques.”Seeing that Dedale hadn't taken the bait, Earth Shadow could only try to lure him.
"Alright then. Dedale had always wanted to learn the Light and Heavy Rock Arts, but it was a pity that Hidden Rock Village only had the Earth Shadow Society. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how could Dedale let it go? Even if it meant going through a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, he still had to try.”
After Dedale left the study, a figure faintly appeared in a dark corner. There was actually someone hiding here, listening to the entire conversation between Dedale and Earth Shadow.
Shadow slowly walked in. The weak light shone on his body, making him look so burly. If Dedale was still here, he would definitely recognize this person as Hei Tu's father, the third generation Mu Tu Ying's son, Huang Tu!
"Father, are you really going to do this?”Huang Tu's voice was as rough and powerful as his body." There is enough evidence to show that the forbidden technique of mixing chakras into matter was stolen by Dedale.”
"I know." Tu Ying calmly replied as he looked at Huang Tu's face that was flushed red from excitement.
"Stealing forbidden techniques is a taboo in the hidden village. Once discovered, they will be put on the wanted list of the whole country. Dedale had already made a huge mistake. Once the matter spread, it would be impossible for his father to protect him.”Seeing his father's stubbornness, Huang Tu was somewhat indignant.
"Huangtu, we watched Dedale grow up. You know what kind of temperament he has. Could it be that you really want to see him live in prison gloomily for the rest of his life?”
Tu Ying's words stunned Huang Tu. How could they not have feelings for each other after so many years of being together?
"I originally wanted to train Dedale to be my successor, but unfortunately, this happened. The village and the Daimyo wouldn't agree to let a person who studied forbidden spells in private become the village chief. "But it's impossible for me to give up on Dedale. I'm only doing this because I hope that the little princess will help me when the matter is exposed, so that Dedale won't have to bear a few more crimes.”
"Even if Father lets Dedale go, he won't be able to escape the hidden village's pursuit. Capturing traitors is one of the duties of the Dark Group. The Dark Group in our village is not to be trifled with.”
"Hehe, if he can't even solve the problem of the Dark Group, then it's not worth my effort.”Tu Ying glanced at Huang Tu and said in a reproachful tone," You were hiding in the dark just now. Do you think Dedale discovered you?”
"That's impossible. I hid it very well.”
"Although he was very nervous and distracted, I still noticed that his eyes glanced at the place where you were hiding three times.”
"He…Huang Tu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"You must not underestimate him. His future is limitless.”Looking at the darkening sky, Tu Ying muttered to himself," Sigh, if I'm not wrong, he has already mastered the initial stage of 'Chakra mixed into material'.”
If he was just surprised earlier, Huang Tu was now completely shocked. It had only been a few days, and he had already figured out the forbidden technique that had troubled the village for more than ten years. What kind of monstrous talent was that!
"Alright, you can leave first. I still have other things to deal with. Remember, you have to be careful when choosing the person to protect the princess!”
