Some days after...
Natsuo, dressed in a ninja suit with a mask, appeared at the border of the Land of Snow.
"It's really cold." Natsuo shook the snow off his body.
"The Land of Snow has always been this cold. It's a country without spring." Kazahana Koyuki paused and continued. "But the previous Daimyōs have always been frugal and saved a sum of money."
"This money is the treasure of the Land of Snow. My uncle, Kazahana Dotō, has been chasing after me to seize this wealth." She couldn't help but touch the 'Hexagonal Ice Crystal' pendant on her chest. This pendant is the key to unlocking the treasure of the Land of Snow.
Kazahana Dotō is the younger brother of the former Daimyō, Kazahana Sōsetsu, and the uncle of Kazahana Koyuki. He hired the Shinobi from Yukigakure to take over the Land of Snow, killed his brother, and even attempted to kill Koyuki. However, Koyuki was saved by Kakashi, who was sent by the Third Hokage to investigate the Land of Snow at that time.
Kazahana Dotō has been trying to find Kazahana Koyuki, and what he wants is this treasure of the Land of Snow.
"No, there is no treasure in the Land of Snow." Asama Sandayū shook his head and said: "As the minister of the Land of Snow, I have never seen any treasure warehouse of the previous Daimyōs."
"If there really is this treasure, the Daimyō would not have been overthrown by Kazahana Dotō, this rebel."
If there really was money, it would be very simple to hire ninjas to deal with those Shinobi from Yukigakure, and there would be no need to put in so much effort to restore the country.
"Lord Natsuo, although the Land of Snow is geographically barren and may not be as wealthy as you imagine, it will soon become your country."
"Please show the strength of the Uchiha clan!"
"It may not be a place with much value in your hands, but for me that's not necessarily true." Natsuo smiled slightly.
The Land of Snow is indeed barren, and the so-called Ninjas of Yukigakure are nothing more than a few cats and dogs. But to say that there is nothing good in the Land of Snow is also not true.
At this moment, Natsuo looked up. Suddenly...
In the white snow, several figures appeared. They were covered with a white cloth, hidden almost perfectly hidden under the snow. It wasn't until they stood up that they were visible.
"Are they Ninja of Yukigakure?!" Asama Sandayū exclaimed.
The leader of the team was a man wearing a strange metal outfit, with light blue hair that resembled the snow. His voice was cold, with a hint of mockery.
"Welcome to the Land of Snow."
"Rōga Nadare! How did you know we were here?!" Asama Sandayū exclaimed, his face filled with fear.
Rōga Nadare is Kazahana Dotō's most trusted subordinate. His strength is at the Jōnin level!
At the same time, two ninjas stood up on the nearby cliff. One was a well-built woman, and the other was a very burly man. They were both wearing unique clothing and looked down from above.
"We welcome you here, Princess Koyuki."
"Did you bring back the Hexagonal Crystal?"
Kakuyoku Fubuki and Fuyukuma Mizore. Both of them are experts among the Shinobi of Yukigakure.
"You all are actually here... why can you find our whereabouts?" Asama Sandayū stood there in a daze, disbelief on his face.
"Of course, it's because there's a spy." Natsuo sighed lightly, then pointed to the side with his hand. "Right there."
Asama Sandayū followed his gaze.
He saw a familiar person rushing out in a panic. The person who ran was the one Natsuo had pointed out. He was the spy!
Kazahana Koyuki widened her eyes. It was a Shinobi from Yukigakure. The Shinobi of Yukigakure who killed her own father.
Asama Sandayū also looked shocked. He never expected a spy to appear in his own team. But his reaction was quick.
"Mr. Natsuo, the situation has gotten out of control." Asama Sandayū looked urgent. "Your Uchiha clan must have sent some people, right? How many did they send? We need their help."
"They are elite Shinobi from Yukigakure. Due to their abilities, they can take on multiple opponents at once."
"How many?" Natsuo was taken aback, then smiled. "Just me."
"What?" Asama Sandayū was stunned.
Kazahana Koyuki also turned her head in surprise.
"Don't you know? The Uchiha clan was massacred by a traitor. All the ninjas in the clan were killed and now I'm the only adult left." Natsuo smiled slightly. "We Uchiha have no one else."
Asama Sandayū was stunned. In fact, he had heard similar rumors, but recently the Uchiha clan had caused quite a stir, so she thought the rumors were false.
But the result... Only Natsuo?
Holding onto his last hope, he asked, "Lord Natsuo, did you hire a group of powerful ninjas?"
With the Uchiha clan's wealth, it would be easy to do so.
Natsuo still smiled. "No, I came alone."
"You alone?"
"Yes, just me."
Asama Sandayū swallowed nervously. Just one person?
Kazahana Koyuki and the others beside her were also shocked.
We were counting on the strength of the Uchiha clan to turn the tide, and now you tell me you didn't bring anyone? Then how are we going to fight?
"It's not necessarily impossible to fight." Asama Sandayū tried to calm himself and found a reason. "You are a Jōnin from Konoha, your strength must be extraordinary. Dealing with these people shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Natsuo was about to speak. But then a voice came from afar.
"Do you want to trust this Uchiha? Do you know how he became a Jōnin?" A burly figure slowly approached from a distance.
"He became a Jōnin because he was attacked in the village. The Third Hokage had to give him the rank of Jōnin to appease him!"
Kazahana Koyuki looked at the figure approaching, and her pupils contracted. She subconsciously murmured. "Kazahana Dotō..."
He was her father's killer, the Daimyō of the Land of Snow, and also the strongest man in the Land of Snow.
Kazahana Dotō stepped forward slowly, sneering. "Kazahana Koyuki, my niece... Are you really counting on such a ninja to help you restore the country?"
"He's not that strong!"
Hearing Kazahana Dotō's words, Asama Sandayū turned his head in confusion and looked at Natsuo, then asked: "Lord Natsuo, is this really true?"
"Oh, my position as a Jōnin is indeed obtained in this way." Natsuo nodded calmly.
Upon hearing his admission, the faces of the people next to him were filled with despair.
On the other hand, Asama Sandayū gritted his teeth and said: "So what? Lord Natsuo is still a Jōnin of Konoha, much stronger than you Ninjas of Yukigakure!"
"That is beyond doubt!"
"We still have a chance!"
"Yes!"
After all, Natsuo is at least a Jōnin of Konoha, and he is also a member of the Uchiha clan. His strength should be stronger than that of the Yukigakure Ninjas, right?
"Haha, that's not necessarily true!" Nadare Rōga, laughed heartily. "You probably don't know that there was a Konoha shinobi who fled in panic from my hands before."
"That person's name is Hatake Kakashi! At that time, he was a Jōnin, and now he seems to be an Elite Jōnin, right?"
"I almost killed him!"
In his smile, there was a hint of nostalgia.
'Hatake Kakashi almost killed by Nadare Rōga?' Asama Sandayū and the others were completely desperate upon hearing this.
Kakashi's reputation is not small. His mission completion rate is outstanding, and he is also an Elite Jōnin of Konoha. If even an Elite Jōnin almost died, what could Natsuo, who is only a Jōnin, do?
"Princess! It's the fault of this old servant!" Asama Sandayū finally couldn't hold on and cried out in pain. "It's the old servant's reckless actions that have ruined the last hope of the Land of Snow."
"Lord Sōsetsu! Everything is the fault of this old servant!"
"Not only did I die, but I also implicated the princess... Wuuu..." Tears streamed down his face as he cried bitterly.
The other peoples also wailed; their eyes filled with despair.
Kill them." Kazahana Dotō waved her hand. "Take Kazahana Koyuki away. I can't wait to see the wealth accumulated by our ancestors for generations!"
Fuyukuma Mizore, Kakuyoku Fubuki, and Rōga Nadare all acted without hesitation.
They formed hand seals with both hands and used a large amount of Ice Release, condensing into ice dragons and attacking the people below.
...
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
The huge flames surged forward. The heat wave emptied the air, like an angry dragon, instantly raising the temperature of the Land of Snow covered in ice and snow.
The raging flames erupted fiercely. In almost an instant, the surrounding area turned into a sea of fire. The sea of fire extended for several miles, engulfing everything in flames.
The Ice Release used by the Yukigakure ninjas melted almost instantly upon contact with the flames. And the surging waves of fire continued to rush towards them without stopping!
"How is this possible!" Rōga Nadare. "How can you use such a powerful Fire Release in the Land of Snow?"
The Land of Snow is almost frozen, so even Yukigakure ninjas without Kekkei Genkai can use Ice Release.
"Even Kakashi can't do it, how could you?" Rōga Nadare's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Oh... Maybe it's because I'm slightly stronger than Kakashi." Natsuo gestured with his fingers, smiling. "Besides..."
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Did you forget what happened when Kakashi escaped?"
Kakashi was just a teenager back then. He still managed to escape with Kazahana Koyuki who an ordinary person was, under the persecution of Rōga Nadare and almost the entire country.
And yet, you have the audacity to claim that you defeated Kakashi? Of course, Rōga Nadare is still powerful, definitely at the level of a Jōnin.
Facing the surging flames, Rōga Nadare's eyes revealed a hint of madness.
"It's okay, I still have Chakra Armor, the armor that even Kakashi can't break through, I can..."
The next second!
All the ninjas of Yukigakure were devoured by the flames.
The raging flames swept everything away, finally crashing towards Rōga Nadare, who was standing at the back. He stood there dumbfounded, and the next second he was swallowed by Fire Release.
"It's over." Natsuo clapped his hands.
This is also why he had discovered the spy early on but let him go. Clearing the field with Fire Release is so comfortable.
Everyone behind him stood there dumbfounded, looking in shock at everything in front of them.
Natsuo slowly lowered his hand and smiled at Kazahana Koyuki. "Alright, it's over.
"This country is yours now, I don't think anyone will oppose you... And if they do, I will simply finish them off."
"You should go and open that treasure, there will be surprises."
"And as for me..."
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of a charred corpse. With a few casual movements, he took out a damaged ninja armor. This was the main target of his operation. The Chakra Armor, a characteristic of the Land of Snow.
"This is the prototype of Scientific Ninja Tools!" Natsuo's eyes gleamed.
