[with card] Hirasaka Strange Story

After Yuanfu, Kakashi and Obito began to formally perform their duties as Onmyoji, showing their faces to the outside world.Putting on hunting clothes and a black hat, Minato personally begged a branch of the sacred tree from Senju Shrine, polished it into two sets of beads, and presented them to two students respectively, wishing them all the best and safety.

Obito knows that he has a special status and it is not suitable to deal with others, so he puts on a posture of not getting close to strangers outside.In contrast, although Kakashi was not enthusiastic, he was always easy-going and gentle, so he naturally attracted more attention.Coupled with the fact that the two are adults now, lifelong events have gradually been brought to the fore; it seems that even the patriarch of a certain noble has regretted that if Kakashi was not the son of Hatake Sakumo, I really want to betroth my daughter to him.

Even though these dignified princes look down on sinners, ordinary nobles still hope to marry Yinyangliao.The world is not peaceful, monsters are rampant, the emperor's reliance on Onmyo is well known, and Kakashi is Minato's disciple, and it is very likely that he will inherit the Onmyo position in the future.Even if not, he and Yuan are siblings, and their status will never be lowered in the future.It is said that some of the maids in the Imperial Palace have admiration for him, but they dare not reveal it because of the rules, so they can only bury it deep in their hearts.

These gossips were all told by Lin as a joke to Obito and Kakashi.Now she can get a half-day vacation every ten days, so she comes to Yinyang Liao to find two people to play with.In the rare sunny weather in late winter, three teenagers and girls were sitting under the plum tree, and when a gust of wind blew, the petals fell all over their heads and bodies.

"Uh... let's not talk about my business for now. Lin, how are you?" Sensing that Obito was sulking, Kakashi awkwardly changed the subject. "After the Yuanfu next year, you will have to decide whether you will stay or not. Should you continue to be a female official in the Imperial Palace, or go home and get married?"

Lin smiled wryly: "I probably...will leave here. The Nohara family is the last class of nobles, and my father tried every means to send me into the palace since I was a child. The idea is that if the emperor takes a fancy to me, I can ascend to heaven in one step. No matter how bad it is, with the experience of working in the Royal Office, you will be able to raise your value when you get married in the future."

She looked at the two teenagers, her gaze stayed on Kakashi's face for a moment longer, and then she quickly lowered her eyes, spinning a fallen, complete five-petal plum blossom in her hand. "So... I really envy those who can freely love the man they like and bravely tell each other their hearts."

Kakashi and Obito looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort her for a moment.While searching, Lin raised her head again and showed them her usual sweet smile: "But it's okay. Even if I leave the Imperial Palace in the future, we can still find a chance to meet. You guard the capital and Your Majesty's heroic posture, and I will always You can see it!"

"Of course!" Obito said first this time, pumping his fist confidently, "Just wait and see, Lin, Kakashi and I will surpass Minato-sensei and become the most powerful onmyoji in the world!"

Kakashi also said: "As for the remaining year, let's cherish it."

Lin sighed softly, and her smile faded a little: "Yes... I just hope that in the last days, there will be no more troubles, and that I can survive until I leave in peace."

Both Kakashi and Obito knew what she was referring to.In recent years, the emperor has been obsessed with Mrs. Fujiwara Kozu, the daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs, which aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of Empress Masako.Last month, Guangzhu was diagnosed as pregnant. If she gave birth to a boy, it would even threaten the status of the queen's son, Prince Daokang.The harem is already tense, and it is unfortunate that Lin is currently working in Guangzhu's Chengxiang Palace. Once Masako and Guangzhu have a big conflict, it is inevitable that she will not be affected.

Kakashi and Obito have also heard about the special favor of Guangzhu.She has been in the palace for ten years, second only to Masako. Originally, the emperor had lost interest in her, but since last year he suddenly rekindled his love, and even left all the beauties aside for her.But Masako got the news from nowhere, saying that in order to regain her favor, Guangzhu asked the fox demon to come and help her, but she was possessed by the fox demon instead. That's why the emperor has been losing weight day by day since he exclusively favored her. , a look of being hollowed out.But all these are just speculations after all, as long as Masako can't produce definite evidence for a day, she can't do anything about it.But she apparently never gave up.

After all, the matter of the palace is a taboo, so the three of them stopped talking and immediately changed the topic to other aspects.The inner palace has access control. When the sun was about to set, Lin bid farewell to them and left. Kakashi and Obito also picked up the fallen flowers and returned to the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Obito closed the sliding door with his backhand, pressed Kakashi on it, and bit his lips angrily.Kakashi was caught off guard by a sudden attack. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help pushing the head that had moved to his neck in a funny way: "Still thinking about what Lin said?"

The movement of biting the collarbone stopped.Obito buried it around his neck, and said sullenly, "Ben Kaka is mine."

"What's yours is yours, and it will always be yours." Kakashi coaxed.He gently pushed Obito, opened the distance between the two, and held the black-haired boy's hand again: "It's just right, I have something for you. I originally wanted to wait until your birthday in five days, but now it seems Don't wait any longer. Come with me!"

The two of them went out of the yard and went straight to the old warehouse—whenever they wanted to avoid others and do something, this was their first choice.The low attic was already a bit cramped for them, and Obito huddled aside, watching curiously as Kakashi took out a piece of talisman paper and drew complex patterns on it. "What is it?"

"You'll find out soon," Kakashi said.He finally finished drawing the talisman, stacked the piece of paper, and skillfully folded it into the shape of a paper figurine.Then he took out a small dagger from his sleeve, stabbed his middle finger with the tip of the knife, and blood flowed out immediately.

Kakashi pressed his bloody fingers on the paper figurine, closed his eyes, and looked solemn.He didn't do anything else, but Obito could see it clearly. The silver-haired boy's face quickly turned pale, and there were bean-sized beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Okay." Just as Obito was hesitating to interrupt him, Kakashi let out a breath and opened his eyes.He let go, and handed the paper figurine and the dagger to Obito: "Let's make a contract."

Obito glanced at him suspiciously, then looked at the paper figurine that had sucked blood and became as clean as ever.Despite being confused, he followed Kakashi's instructions, drew a line on his palm, and dripped blood on the paper figurine.

The moment the blood fell, a puff of white smoke burst out from the paper figurine, filling the entire attic.A vague object gradually emerged from the smoke, and Obito looked at it intently, his eyes widened in surprise.

It was actually a very beautiful wolf, nearly two people long, with smooth white fur, only a few spots of scarlet at the end of the eyes, as if dotted with blood.It held its head up slightly, with a proud posture, but its eyes looking at Obito were extremely docile, as clear as glass.

"This is... shikigami?" Obito raised his hand and touched it cautiously, as if he was afraid that if his strength was a little heavier, it would disappear in smoke.His new Shikigami purred affectionately, ducking his head to cup his hand, his cloudy tail wagging from side to side behind him.

"It's not an ordinary shikigami. To be precise, it was created with a small part of my soul, and it can be regarded as my incarnation."

Hearing this, Obito couldn't help being shocked.He looked at Kakashi, who was also looking back at him with a smile, the sincerity in his eyes could not be mistaken.

"Ever since you told me your real name, I have been wanting to give you something to repay this trust. This is a spell I read from an ancient book. Although it is not equally valuable, it is at least a A unique thing. From now on, as long as you summon it, no matter where I am, I can immediately know your position, and it will also bring you to me accurately."

"Even if we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, you and I will meet again in the end."

God didn't seem to hear Lin's prayer.Since the beginning of spring, the conflict between Empress Masako and Mrs. Guangzhu has continued to escalate.Of course, the emperor unconditionally fell to Guangzhu. If Masako hadn't been his half-sister, she might have been abolished as queen long ago.

Seeing that she was about to be suppressed so much that she couldn't lift her head up, Masako suddenly used her trump card.She bribed the palace servants of Chengxiang Palace, who testified that Guangzhu asked her father to find ways to smuggle several live chickens into the palace.The palace man also swore that he had accidentally witnessed Guangzhu alone in the room lying on all fours like a wild beast, biting open the chicken's neck to suck blood, that scene was really terrifying like hell.

Soon, the ironclad evidence that the minister's family smuggled live chickens to the harem was dug up.Although the Minister of Internal Affairs prevaricated in every possible way, the words of defense were extremely pale and obviously untenable.It was related to evil spirits, so the emperor had to temporarily wake up from the beauty, and ordered Yinyang Liao to intervene to find out the truth.

Unfortunately, Zilai also died of illness last month.As his only living close person, Minato, in accordance with his teacher's last wish, personally sent the coffin back to Izumo, Jiraiya's hometown, and had already left half a month ago.The person acting as the principal is Kaiichi Yamanaka from the six yin and yang assistants. Although he is proficient in astronomy and calendar, he knows nothing about purifying spirits and eliminating demons; after thinking about it, he decided to send Kakashi and Obito who are still young but already outstanding .It happened that Kakashi and Obito were also worried about Lin's safety, so they agreed and set off to Chengxiang Temple.

Things didn't go well, however.The samurai guards packed the palace inside and out, and everyone gathered in the garden.With the help of Kurama, Kakashi easily tested the existence of the fox demon, and was about to get rid of the demon with Obito, but the emperor shouted from the side, ordering them not to hurt the light pearl in the slightest.Obito and Kakashi were wary, but the fox spirit understood and used this body as a shield everywhere, forcing the two onmyojis to tie their hands and feet, but unexpectedly fell into a hard fight.

After a lot of effort, the two finally managed to force the fox demon out of Guangzhu's body.Who would have thought that monster was surprisingly fast, before Kakashi and Obito could breathe a sigh of relief, she had already turned into a blue light and rushed towards the person closest to her.Kakashi looked in the direction of her movement, and when he saw who was standing there, his heart suddenly hung high.

When the three of them fought fiercely earlier, the palace people who had been clustered together scattered in panic.The person who was possessed by the fox demon was none other than the same person present——

"Daughter of low status, death is not a pity." He heard the emperor's cold voice behind him, completely different from the pity and pity just now. "Just kill her and the fox demon together!"

"No!" Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, and Kakashi turned his head sharply, "Ordinary swords can't hurt the fox demon at all, they will just sacrifice in vain—"

His cries were cut short at the sound of blades piercing flesh.

At the same time, Obito, who had been panting on the ground half-kneeling due to excessive consumption, also raised his head.Seeing the scene in front of him clearly, his breathing suddenly choked, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle in an instant.

The first thing that catches the eye is the blood color soaked on the grass green kimono, and the Mori Leng blade that broke out from the chest.Looking up, he met Lin's pale face, his eyes were wide open, filled with shock, pain, and despair.

That little flower withered meaninglessly and worthlessly inside the black tiles and white walls before it reached its full blooming season.
