I boarded a cruise ship from the port of the Land of Fire, and walked along the sea around the Strait of the Land of Wind, drifting for three or four days before finally arriving at the port of the Land of Snow.

Chilly.

This was Kakashi's first impression of the Land of Snow.

Most of the territory of this land is covered in pale snow and snow, and snowflakes are flying all year round.

In a sense, this is a traditional small country that is similar to the country of rain that rains all year round.

Frozen mountains and trees can be seen everywhere, and the thick snow on the mountains and tree branches adds to the chill.

After disembarking at the port of Snow Country, Kakashi did not take the official road to Wind Flower City, the capital of Snow Country, but secretly arrived at Wind Flower City along the snow-covered path of the forest.

Although he was a little unhappy about the vacation plan, when the task came to him, he still had to follow beautifully.

This is also something that can't be helped, the four generations of Hokage Bo Feng Shui Gate's subordinates, basically no one is available, and the recruitment plan of the dark department has not worked for a long time, and there is always a powerful force that is invisibly obstructed.

However, this has nothing to do with Kakashi, because this is a battle between high-level personnel, and he is only a part-time leader of the underworld team, and he can't participate in that kind of political struggle.

After all, even the three shinobi retreated, and it was useless for him to intervene in it.

Jiraiya pretended to be crazy and stupid, neither helping Watergate, nor helping his mentor Sandaime Hokage, Tsunade left Konoha on the grounds of going out on business, and Orochimaru has not heard from him for several months.

It shows that the situation inside Konoha is chaotic.

And this time, the mission that Watergate sent him to the Snow Country was not a simple task.

A few days ago, a bloody coup d'état was taking place within the Snow Country.

Fury, the younger brother of the Snow Country Daimyo Kazeka Sayuki, gathered a large number of ninjas, assassinated his brother Kazeka Hayuki, and wielded a ruthless butcher's knife against the aristocratic officials within the Snow Country who opposed his ascension to the daimyo.

Simply and rudely incorporated the Snow Country into his rule.

Although this kind of coup will bring great instability to its own regime, relying on the rule of terror and violence, as long as it survives the period of instability, the land of snow will definitely become a bag of wind and waves.

It is not known what the reason for the coup d'état and the killing of his brother Kazuka Sayuki was, but Kakashi's mission is not to save the Snow Country and turn the tide.

Instead, he secretly took away the daughter of the Snow Country Daimyo Kazuka Sayuki, and took the only heir of the Snow Country Daimyo out of the Snow Country safely, and found a place to settle down safely.

As for what happens after that, that's none of Kakashi's business.

Originally, this kind of thing was inconvenient for Konoha to intervene, but the dead daimyo of the Snow Country, Kazuka Hayuki, gave Konoha too much reward.

Konoha, who is slowly recovering from the Ninja World War, is lacking sufficient development funds, and the assistance of the Snow Country, as long as it can solve Konoha's urgent needs, is enough to make Mizumon, the Hokage, relent.

Based on the above things, it was only natural that Kakashi would come here.

The only unpleasant thing is that his laid-back vacation plan has come to naught.

According to the information, Fenghua Xiaoxue was secretly sent out of the castle at the time of the coup, and is currently hidden in a corner of Fenghua City, protected by Fenghua Zayuki's cronies.

It's just that the rebellion has sent his Snow Shinobi to blockade the entire Wind Flower City, and began to search for the traces of the princess Wind Flower Xiaoxue all over the city.

Kakashi didn't know when Kafaki-koyuki would be found by Kaze-chan, and judging from the current situation, he had to act quickly.

Before the storm finds the snow, the target must be successfully rescued and taken away from the snow country.

Once Storm Flower Snow is caught by Wind Flower Fury, the difficulty of the mission will change from A to S level.

Mizumon's order to Kakashi was that if Kazeka Koyuki was caught by the enemy, he could abandon the mission depending on the situation.

Snow Country is a small country without ninja villages, but the absence of ninja villages does not mean that there are no ninjas.

The ninjas of the Snow Country are called Snow Ninja, and they are not affiliated with the Ninja Village, but are an army cultivated by the Daimyo.

It's just that in this generation, most of the management power of Snow Shinobi fell into the hands of Fenghua Futao, which fueled the other party's ambitions, and gave birth to the idea of replacing his brother Fenghua Hayuki and becoming the new daimyo of Snow Country.

After a few hours of traveling, it was already dark, and Wind Flower City was close at hand.

It was a magnificent city built halfway up a mountain, and at night, cold snowflakes fell from the sky.

The walls were tall and strong, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream for ordinary people to want to climb over such walls, but for a shinobi like Kakashi, such tall walls were just a decoration.

Easily climbing over the walls of Windflower City, Kakashi avoided the guards and quietly entered Windflower City.

In the letter sent to Konoha mentions the hidden location of Princess Kazeka Koyuki in Kazeka City, and Kakashi rushes towards it.

It was a dilapidated house, and after avoiding the Yukishinobi who were searching for something in the city, Kakashi revealed himself and watched the Yukinobi go away.

The number of snow shinobi searching in the city was more than Kakashi expected, and those snow ninjas were wearing a kind of heavy blue and white armor, and their chests were inlaid with core devices like jewels, giving Kakashi a bad feeling.

Generally speaking, wearing that kind of bulky armor, the speed of the ninja will be weakened, but those snow ninja movements do not give people a feeling of bulkiness at all, but move quickly, and it is probably a special armor that can increase physical skills.

Therefore, it is definitely not the best strategy to go head-to-head with these snow ninjas.

Fortunately, Kakashi didn't need to fight these snow shinobi head-on, he just needed to escort the target out of the snow country safely.

Stepping down a dark path, Kakashi entered the innermost house.

It was pitch black inside, but it smelled strangely musty, and it was clear that it hadn't been inhabited for a long time.

Kakashi fumbled in the darkness for the hidden compartment, in the back of the cupboard, in an inconspicuous recess. Press the mechanism in the hole, only to hear the click, the sound of the stone slab rolling, the stone slab next to it cut, with the help of the moonlight, is a hidden road to the underground.

Kakashi walked down the darkness for about a minute to reach the bottom.

The bottom was still pitch black, but Kakashi could tell how many people were hiding here and where through his perceptual ninjutsu.

There were only two knocks on the door.

Kakashi stood in the dark, waiting for the man on the other side of the door to open the door.

Kakashi didn't have to wait long for the door to open, and the light inside reflected through the crack in the door, shining right on Kakashi's body.

It was a snow shinobi outside, wearing a special blue and white armor and a forehead guard engraved with a snowflake mark.

Unlike those snow ninjas outside, these snow ninjas belong to the close associates of the late Snow Country daimyo Kazeka Hayuki.

Without them, it would be impossible for Fenghua Xiaoxue to escape from the castle of Fenghua City, and she has not been found by the people of Fenghua Fury so far.

This Yukishino saw Kakashi's outfit and the Konoha forehead guard he was wearing on his forehead, giving him a clear sigh of relief.

It wasn't taken lightly because of Kakashi's age.

With a mask and a short knife behind him, plus silver hair, even the remote Snow Country ninja has heard of Kakashi's daimyo.

The son of Konoha White Fang Banner Mu Shuo Shige, a student of the fourth generation of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, and a genius of Konoha who shone in the previous ninja war.

Konoha sent such a character over, obviously taking their snow country seriously, rather than sending a random ninja over to fool around.

Kakashi took out the letter and handed it to the Yukishinobi to discern it.

"Please come in."

Discerning that Kakashi wasn't a man of the storm in disguise, the Yukishinobi opened the door a little wider to let Kakashi in.

This is a small stone room, and in addition to this Yukishinobi, there is only one little girl in a gorgeous costume living in it.

The other party was looking at the stranger Kakashi with a look of fear and nervousness.

The identity of the other party is self-evident, it is the daughter of the late Snow Country Daimyo Fenghua Sayuki, the princess of the Snow Country.

"Your Highness Xiaoxue, please don't be afraid, this is His Excellency Kakashi Hachiki from Konoha, and he is here to protect Your Highness."

Hearing Xue Shinobi's explanation, Fenghua Xiaoxue nodded, and the tension and uneasiness on her face subsided slightly.

"So, what's going on now?"

Kakashi nodded to Snow Princess, then looked at the Snow Shinobi Guard, asking what was going on in Windflower City right now.

"Most of the power in Wind Flower City is controlled by the betrayer of Wind Flower Fury, and the officials who disobey Wind Flower Fury should be almost cleaned up at this moment."

The Snow Shinobi Guard sighed lightly.

This also means that it is only a matter of time before the wind and waves become the new daimyo of the Snow Country.

And the declaration of Fenghua Fury to the outside world is also to declare that the elder brother Fenghua died of illness in the early snow, and the snow country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and then with the help of this turmoil, he promoted himself to become the name of the snow country.

It can be said that without the intervention of a strong external force, Fenghua Xiaoxue, the pathetic princess, would not be able to defeat the usurping Fenghua Fury and take back her own power.

But it's too early to say this, the most important thing at the moment is to send Snow Princess out of the Snow Country and escape this catastrophe.

It's just that when I think of the originally calm Snow Country, because of the ambition of the wind and the waves, the Snow Country fell into a bloody storm, and it was a burst of helplessness.

"The situation is more serious than expected. So, how are we going to send His Highness Xiaoxue out of Wind Flower City? ”

Kakashi wanted to hear about the arrangement of this snow ninja, the other party was a ninja from the land of snow, and he was very familiar with Kazekashi and the country of snow, so he must have planned it a long time ago.

"It's up to us to attract firepower, and it's up to you to take His Highness Xiaoxue out of Wind Flower City and escape from the Snow Country."

"You guys?"

Yuki nodded and said, "Yes, we are." Although the number of people is small, it is enough to cause chaos and attract people who are angry. At that time, it was the best time to take His Highness Xiaoxue out of Wind Flower City. As long as you leave Wind Flower City, Wind Flower Fury, who has not yet mastered the full power of the Snow Country, will greatly weaken the pursuit power. ”

It's simple, but it's effective enough.

And there's not a lot of time to put together any elaborate planning.

Because of the snow ninja of the Wind Flower Fury faction, it will soon be searched here.

Kakashi has no opinion.

"By the way, after sending His Highness Xiaoxue out, please go to the Land of Rainbow to contact a person named Asama Santaifu."

Yukishinobu spoke again.

"Asama Santaifu? I see, I'll go to the Rainbow Country to contact him later. ”

Kakashi nodded solemnly.

Without saying anything, the Snow Ninja Guard left the stone chamber directly, contacted his companions, and together attracted the Snow Ninja firepower of the Wind Flower Fury faction.

"It's rude, Your Highness Princess."

Kakashi carried Snow Princess behind him and quickly left the stone chamber as well.

When they got outside, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of explosions.

A nearby building burst into flames, and the powder flew into the sky, shining brilliantly in the night sky.

Kakashi saw the Yukishinobi guard and rushed towards the hostile Yukishinobi and fought fiercely.

Chaos ensued in the rest of the place, and the action began.

Kakashi just glanced at it, didn't pay attention anymore, and with Snow Princess on his back, with the help of the shadow of the building, he quickly rushed to the location of the wall of Wind Flower City.

◎

Run along the path of the forest.

The wind and snow on both sides crossed her ears, and the little snow princess on Kakashi's back turned pale with cold, and the biting cold made her gasp on Kakashi's back.

Suddenly, Kakashi felt that the air around him began to be filled with an unrestrained cold and murderous aura, colder than the snow falling around him.

The kunai flew swiftly from both sides, and Kakashi accelerated hard, his legs covered with fine electricity, directly avoiding the kunai's projectile attack, causing the kunai to stab deep in the snow.

"Ice Sleet!"

Snow fell, and beautiful snowflakes were manipulated and hit Kakashi.

The side flashed, but there was an extra wound on the shoulder that had been cut by a snowflake, and it was bleeding.

The little snow princess on Kakashi's back was already pale with fright, and she didn't dare to breathe, her bright and helpless eyes flickering in the dark forest.

The sound of laughter rang out from the forest.

A female snow shinobi wears a special blue and white armor with bat-like wings spread on her back and soars through the sky in the snowy night.

"It turned out to be the famous Kakashi Hachiki, is this what the wind and early snow rely on? He even entrusted a foreign ninja to interfere in the internal affairs of the Snow Country. ”

Although Konoha is powerful, it is too far away from the snow country, so the female snow ninja will not be afraid of Konoha being too deep at all.

Kakashi didn't speak, just threw out a kunai and flew towards the other party.

The female Yukishinobi didn't dodge, and the kunai was about to fall on her body, and a transparent shield immediately appeared around her body, bouncing the kunai away.

"Understood, whether it's physical arts or ninjutsu attacks, it doesn't make sense to us who have chakra armor. This kind of armor can even defend against illusions. ”

The female Yukishinobi laughed wildly in the air.

He doesn't care about exposing his hole cards to the enemy.

This is the strong confidence that Chakra armor brings to her.

As long as this is in place, sooner or later, Snow Country will become a country like the Big Five.

As long as you find the treasure hidden by the dead Daimyo Kazeka Hayuki, the Snow Country can become stronger again.

"So, hand over the hexagonal crystal. Snow Princess you can take away, how's that, Kakashi Hachiki? ”

Female Yukinobi discussed.

Hexagonal crystals? Kakashi had confusion in his eyes.

What is that?

Whatever that is, the task is the task, and it is impossible to compromise.

Moreover, even if the other party has the kind of chakra armor that can defend against physical arts, ninjutsu, and illusions, it is the same.

Without hesitation, Kakashi pulled out the whitefanged dagger behind his back.

"Your Highness Xiaoxue, please hold me hard and don't fall."

Because he had to fight seriously, Kakashi didn't care too much about taking care of the little snow princess on his back.

When Snow Princess heard this, she hurriedly put her arms around Kakashi's neck from behind.

The white fanged dagger was attached to the moon-white glimmer, and under the black and white snowy night, that light carried a deadly aura.

"It's all said, this kind of broken knife is for me-"

The female Yukinobu laughed arrogantly, and in the middle of her words, there was a sharp pain in her body, and her face was dull.

Blood spurted out of his body and splattered onto the snow on the ground.

At her shoulder, Chakra's armor was sliced open by the White Fang Short Knife as if it had been sliced with tofu, and if the blade cut a little deeper, the entire arm would be cut off.

The female Yukishinobi had a frightened face on her face and hurriedly flew to a higher position and looked at Kakashi on the snow with frightened eyes.

The other party was holding a blood-stained short knife, and his eyes pierced like a blade.

"What did you just say? You're the one who was slashed by the broken knife. ”

Kakashi's salty words made the female Yukishinobi's face hideous, but she didn't dare to step forward and fight Kakashi.

Because the next time, if you are slashed by the white tooth short knife, you will definitely die.

At that moment, there was a movement behind Kakashi.

The snow flew, and a male snow ninja appeared there, a huge shadow shrouded him, wearing the same chakra armor as the female ninja, matching her strong and powerful body, and the huge sense of oppression made it difficult to breathe.

He clasped his hands together, and a large amount of cold air immediately erupted from Chakra's armor, and in an instant, a powerful momentum erupted, smashing into Kakashi's head.

“！”

Male Yukishinobi's eyes widened.

The attack with both hands clasped together was blocked by the white fang short knife that Jan had on top of Kakashi's head.

It seemed frightening to others, but for Kakashi, it wasn't anything to be surprised by.

Because he used the Immortal Chakra at the moment, his physical fitness was greatly improved, and his thin body was enough to burst out with a power that surpassed the male Snow Ninja.

Then, the white fang's short knife was as fast as a streamer.

With screams, blood splattered, and the hands of the male Yukishinobi fell on the snow.

"Freezing Rain!"

The female Yukishinobi in the sky shouted the name of the strong male Yukishinobi, and was just about to fly down, when Kakashi's cold gaze stared at her, and her body immediately stiffened in the air, intimidated by Kakashi's momentum, unable to move, swallowing saliva generated by fear.

Kakashi shifted his gaze to a snow-covered tree.

A Yukishinobi wearing chakra armor appeared there at some point, with long ice-blue hair, about twenty years old, staring at Kakashi with a gloomy face, letting Yukishinobi scream in pain on the ground, and did not step forward.

The little snow princess on Kakashi's back shuddered.

She knew this snow shinobi with long ice blue hair, called Wolf Tooth Avalanche.

He is a direct subordinate of Stormy Waves, and during the previous coup, he slaughtered those who opposed Stormy Waves in Stormy Blossom City.

The ninja in the land of snow is also one of the best ninjas.

Kakashi also saw that this person was extraordinary, if it was a man and a woman just now, with the help of the so-called chakra armor, they could entangle with the upper shinobi a little, then this was probably the upper ninja.

Wearing chakra armor, the strength is even stronger.

Kakashi didn't speak, and left where he was with a teleportation technique.

The female Yuki Shinobu flying in the sky wanted to go over to chase after her, but the wolf tooth avalanche stopped her: "Blowing snow, don't go over, you will be killed if you go." That Kakashi Hachiki is not simple, he deserves to be the son of Konoha White Fang. ”

He had a solemn look on his face, obviously not the slightest bit sure about taking Kakashi.

The powerful ninjutsu that ignores the defense of the Chakra armor is undoubtedly a nemesis for them who rely too much on the Chakra armor to fight.

Now catch up, and the three of them will most likely be killed.

Although he is a subordinate of the Wind and Flowers, he will not be blind enough to be willing to die for the ambitions of the Wind and Flowers.

In the final analysis, it's just that because of the wind and the waves that he ascended to the position of the daimyo, he was able to get more benefits.

"So what's next?"

"First stabilize the injury of the freezing rain, and replace the lost hands with prosthetic limbs. As for the hexagonal crystal...... I don't believe that Konoha can protect the wind and snow for the rest of his life. As long as we lose the umbrella of Konoha and the hexagonal crystal on Fenghua Xiaoxue's body, sooner or later it will be our thing. ”

The wolf's tooth avalanche analyzed it rationally.

The female Yukishinobu nodded and complied with the advice of the Wolf Tooth Avalanche.

◎

"I didn't expect such internal turmoil in the snow country, which has always been calm and stable."

In the office, he got the specific information reported by Kakashi, and everything he saw and heard in the Snow Country was recorded in great detail, so that Shiraishi could know the level of chaos inside the Snow Country at the moment.

The Daimyo of the Snow Country, Kazeka Hayuki, who practiced benevolent governance, was assassinated by his younger brother Kazeka Futao, and announced that he had died of illness.

The succession ceremony for the new daimyo of Snow Country will be held in the next few days.

At that time, regardless of the people in the domestic opposition, the wind and flowers will inherit the position of the Daimyo of the Snow Country, and the dust will settle.

"Isn't that what you want? Moreover, Kazeka Koyuki, who has the inheritance of the daimyo, has also been brought to the country of Oni by Kakashi to settle down at this moment, which is very beneficial to us. ”

Ruri saw the doorway and thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"That's true. Even if Fenghua Zayuki dies accidentally, the heir should be Fenghua Xiaoxue, the only son of Fenghua Zayuki. The wind and the waves inherited the name of the Snow Country, but because of the powerful force, bloody suppression, and the elimination of all opposing voices, the disadvantages will not be eliminated so easily. ”

Shiraishi nodded, acknowledging what Ruri said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Using the status of the rightful heir of the Wind Flower Xiaoxue, secretly funding the Wind Flower Xiaoxue, defeating the terrorist regime of the Wind Flower Fury, and then taking over everything in the Snow Country, this is a great time to increase the territory under your jurisdiction.

The most important thing is that Fenghua Xiaoxue has absolute righteousness.

"When are you going to do it?"

"The country of ghosts is still a neutral country, and it is not appropriate to take over the country of snow with great fanfare, it needs to lie dormant under the water. Nominally, we're just helping Snow Snow get back to power. ”

Moreover, how to take over the Snow Country at that time is also a problem, and it is necessary to come up with a suitable charter, and not to rush it.

"Anyway, let's go to the Rainbow Country first and contact the person called Asama Santaifu, the other party is the close attendant of the Snow Country Daimyo Kazeka Sayuki, if you can convince him, things will be much easier."

After all, Fenghua Xiaoxue is just a child who doesn't understand anything, and has no autonomy at all.

Shiraishi quickly made a decision.

"I'm afraid things are not that simple."

Liuli is a little unoptimistic.

"Try to give it a try, no matter what, without the intervention of a strong external force, Fenghua Xiaoxue will not be able to regain what belongs to him. But then again, Liuli, do you think things would go much smoother if I recognized Fenghua Xiaoxue as his righteous daughter? ”

Shiraishi seriously considered the matter.

In this way, he also has enough reason to assist Fenghua Xiaoxue, intervene in the battle of the Snow Country, defeat the Wind Flower Fury, and help the other party regain the Snow Country.
