Chapter 43 (1/2)
[Next day]
I'm sitting opposite to the Daimyo again.
”Have you made a decision?” asked elder 1
”Yes, I don't want any advisor to join me.”
”How dare you act so ungrateful! We are trying to help you.” said elder 1
”We will respect your decision.” said the Daimyo
”What did you say sir?” asked elder 2
”Are you deaf? We won't be forcing anyone in accepting something they don't want.”
Everyone was shocked. They Daimyo would never speak up like this.
”You know you aren't as bad as I thought.”
”I'll take that as a compliment. Let me accompany you to the gate.” said the Daimyo
”Thank you.”
The Daimyo and I are walking through the streets while chatting. Kakashi, Asuma, and a lot of guards behind us. We arrived at the east gate and I could see Daichi standing there with a girl that looked about 18 years old.
He looked shocked at seeing the Daimyo accompanying us.
”Thank you for accompanying us to the gate, but this is where we have to say our goodbyes.”
”I understand, I hope you have a safe journey and come to see me again sometime.”
”Of course, you're also always welcome. Bye.”
”Goodbye.”
The 5 of us left towards the village. Daichi was carrying his little sister on his back. She doesn't look so good and I don't know if moving her like this will make it worse, but we should get to Tsunade before something bad happens.
”Sir, do you know why the Daimyo suddenly started to act so nice?” asked Kakashi
”I don't know, maybe he fell on his head or something.”
”You can't say that. If the Daimyo hears about this he will kill us.” said Daichi
”Nah he wouldn't do that.”
'Of course, he wouldn't do that. Or rather he can't since he is already dead. And I don't expect my clone to come after my head.”
[3 days later]
”Kakashi, Asuma you two can go home and rest. Thank you for your help.”
”Of course, you can call us anytime,” said Asuma
Kakashi nodded and they disappeared.
”Follow me, we'll take your sister to Tsunade.”
We arrived at the hospital and Tsunade was already waiting for us at the entrance with a stretcher.
”Put her on the stretcher.”
Daichi slowly put his sister on the stretcher.
”Can you cure her?” asked Daichi
”I don't know but I'll do my best.”
”Daichi I need to go know. You can visit me after your sister gets better and I'll have someone bring you the keys to your new house.”
He went on his knees.
”Thank you so much! I will never forget this. I swear that I'll give my life to you whenever you ask.”
”You're of no use to me dead so just stay alive.”
”Yes sir!”
My clone dissolved itself.
”That was a clone?”
I'm in my office when I got the clone's memories back.
'That was so easy. I don't know why nobody else ever tried it.'
*KNOCK*
”Come in.”
It's one of the Shinobi's who handle the important mail.
