Early the next morning, the third wife announced to everyone the good news that the road to the outside world had been opened.

In fact, there was no need for his reminder, and everyone saw the rays of sunlight shining into this cage.

As for how to climb out......

Of course, the men are all self-sufficient, and Xiaoxue can only rely on Qing Shui.

"This ice is knocking me!" Xiaoxue said in pain.

This passage is not very spacious, and the light snow at this time is lying on Qing Shui's back, so it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps with this ice.

"Bear with me."

"Ah...... My head. Xiaoxue covered her head and said in pain, "You didn't mean to, did you?!" ”

This feeling is infected by Megumi, how can anything be suspected of him.

And this is ice crystals, not flat ground, it would be good for him to be able to carry a person and stand firm.

"Bear with me, Your Highness Princess."

Immediately, in the next moment, only a "bang" was heard, and this solid bump directly made Xiaoxue's eyes red.

"You absolutely did it on purpose!"

“……”

"Can't you be a gentleman?"

"Why are there so many requests?"

"Since you've decided to do something, shouldn't you do your best to do it?"

Qing Shui, who originally wanted to fight back, thought that he might have to ask the other party next, so he simply said: "My mistake, try to correct it next time." ”

Xiaoxue was speechless all of a sudden, and she couldn't find a reason to fight back, so she could only continue to lie silently on Qing Shui's back, but soon her attention was attracted by the bright sunshine.

"It's finally out."

The group climbed out of this ice crystal cage one after another.

Standing on this high point and looking around, all that comes into view is a vast expanse of snow white, and only the last bit of the original towering snow peak remains.

The avalanche completely changed the landscape.

At the same time, everyone also saw an uninvited guest, only to see a huge empty ship flying towards here.

Apparently the other party has already discovered them.

"It's the wind and the waves!"

However, when Qing Shui was about to seal and try to shoot down the airship, Xiaoxue stopped him.

"Don't ruin it!"

"You think it's a toy?" If you can't use the super electromagnetic cannon, Qing Shui may really have nothing to do with this big guy at a height of several hundred meters.

"Anyway, you can't ruin it." Xiaoxue already had palpitations, and she was afraid that all her father's hard work would be ruined by Qing Shui again

"Okay, okay, got it."

However, just as the two were arguing, a mechanical arm suddenly stretched out from the airship, and its target was the unsuspecting Wind Flower Xiaoxue.

"Snow Princess!" The third wife was shocked.

The mechanical arm quickly withdrew to the airship after successfully grabbing Xiaoxue, and it was during this gap that Qing Shui and Megumi grabbed the rope one after the other and followed.

In this way, the figures of the three of them gradually disappeared with the airship, and finally disappeared from the field of vision of the third husband and others.

At this time, outside the airship, Shimizu and Megumi were hiding on the outer edge of the landing gear of this metal flying giant.

"Whew...... It's finally up. Qing Shui glanced at Megumi, who had climbed to this position with difficulty, and asked, "Can you still eat?" ”

"No problem!"

Although the speed of the airship is not fast, the rising altitude causes the temperature outside to plummet.

"Just consume more chakra." Hui Ha sighed and said, "Qing Shui, isn't this plan too risky?" ”

I saw Qing Shui playing with a hexagonal transparent crystal in his hand and replied, "How can you achieve your goal if you don't take risks?" ”

"Let you steal something, and now I can't bear it, I feel like I deceived the other party?"

It turned out that last night Megumi took advantage of the perfect opportunity to warm up and sleep with Xiaoxue, and stole the hexagonal crystal that the other party never left at all times according to Qing Shui's request.

The girl was silent for a while.

"Put away this unnecessary guilt." Shimizu shook his head, "You're a ninja, and the mission always comes first." ”

"Maybe we should try to tell her everything and get her understanding?"

"Hey, this is a relic that her father personally entrusted to her." Qing Shui wondered, "Or do you think that after knowing her for so many days, you have transcended the blood bond between her and her father?" ”

The girl was silent again.

"I'm not sure." Shimizu said as a matter of course, "Of course I will do this to ensure the completion of the mission." ”

"After all, this thing is only solid in your own hands."

"The next step is for them to take us to the secret treasure of the Snow Country."

That's why Qing Shui let these snow ninjas capture Xiaoxue, so that they could go to the secret treasure together.

It's the quickest way to do it right now.

"Yes...... But have you thought about it, what if what she told me last night was a lie to me? ”

"You mean she lied to Kakashi years ago, and then to you?"

Judging from Kakashi's mission report and the information that Megumi confided in her heart-to-heart conversation with Koyuki last night, the content of the two conversations that had been separated by several years was highly consistent, so it was basically certain that the information was true.

So Qing Shui affirmed: "It's a good question, but I don't think she has such a deep scheming." ”

"Or maybe I don't think she's that smart."

"Okay...... Anyway, you're the captain, and you're up to you. Megumi sighed.

"On the bright side, we didn't really hurt her. And will also help her solve her father's killer. This kindness ...... "" is considered a transaction. ”

"And this thing is too important for Konoha to allow for the slightest mistake."

If Xiaoxue really says no, can they still steal it?

And more importantly, once a person is wary, there is no chance of stealing chickens.

"Yes, yes, you have a point." Megumi pursed her lips and said, "I know that Qing Shui, your method is the most effective, and it can also ensure the success rate of the mission." ”

"I just can't get used to it all of a sudden."

"Then learn to come." Shimizu continued to teach, "In order to be able to accomplish the mission, appropriate means are absolutely necessary. ”

"Oh~" But Megumi suddenly wondered, "If it's between a companion and a mission...... Shimizu: Would you give up your companions for the sake of a mission? ”

"What, all of a sudden, ask this kind of question?"

"Don't interrupt, answer quickly."

"For me...... Of course, I will choose the task. ”

"Huh?!" Megumi's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "I can't see it, Qing Shui, you're very ruthless." ”

"Isn't the mission the most important thing for a ninja?"

"I thought you'd say that peers are what should be valued."

"Then let me tell you, in any case, a ninja should take the mission as the first goal." Qing Shui paused and continued, "Abandoning a mission for the sake of a companion seems to me to be another form of cowardice. ”

The adult world, of course, is both.

In Qing Shui's view, only the weak will consider this kind of problem, and the real strong do not have this kind of doubt.

Only strength is the cornerstone of everything.
