Escape From Konoha

We boarded a cruise ship from the port of the Land of Fire, followed the sea around the strait of the Land of Wind, and drifted for three or four days before finally arriving at the port of the Land of Snow.

cold.

This is Kakashi's first impression of the Snow Country.

Most of the territory of this country is covered with pale ice and snow, and snowflakes are flying all year round.

In a sense, this is a traditional small country that is similar to the Rain Country, where it rains all year round.

Frozen mountains and woods can be seen everywhere, and thick white snow accumulates on the mountains and branches, adding to the chill.

After Kakashi disembarked at the port of the Snow Country, he did not take the official road to the capital of the Snow Country, Fenghuacheng, but followed the snow-covered path in the forest to arrive secretly at the Fenghuacheng.

Although he was somewhat unhappy that his vacation plan was ruined, when the task came to him, he still had to carry it out beautifully.

This is also something that can’t be helped. The four generations of Hokage Namikaze Minato’s subordinates are basically unavailable, and the recruiting plan of Anbu personnel has not been effective for a long time. There is always a powerful force that obstructs it invisible.

But this has nothing to do with Kakashi, because this is a battle between high-level personnel. He is just a part-time ninja and Anbu team leader, and he cannot participate in such political struggles.

After all, even the Sannin were retreating, and it was useless for him to intervene.

Jiraiya also pretended to be crazy and foolish, neither helping Minato, nor helping his mentor Third Hokage, Tsunade left Konoha for the reason of going out on business, and there was no news from Orochimaru for several months.

This shows that the situation within Konoha is chaotic.

And the mission that Minato sent him to the Land of Snow this time was not a simple mission.

A few days ago, a bloody coup took place within the Kingdom of Snow.

The younger brother of the Snow Country daimyo Fuka Zaoyuki, Fuka Rage, summoned a large number of ninjas, assassinated his elder brother Fuka Zaoyuki, and swung a ruthless butcher knife against the noble officials in the Snow Country who opposed his superior daimyo.

He simply and crudely brought the Country of Snow under his rule.

Although this method of coup will bring great instability to one's own regime, relying on the rule of terror and violence, as long as it survives the period of instability, the Kingdom of Snow will surely become the winner of the storm.

It is currently unknown what the reason why Fenghua Furumao launched a coup and killed his brother Fenghua Hayuki, but Kakashi's mission is not to save the Snow Country and turn the tide.

Instead, they secretly took away Fenghua Koyuki, the daughter of the Snow Country daimyo Fenghua Hayeyuki, and brought the only heir of the Snow Country daimyo out of the Snow Country safely and found a safe place to settle down.

As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with Kakashi.

Originally, it was not easy for Konoha to intervene in this kind of thing, but unfortunately, the deceased daimyo of Snow Country, Kazehana Hayayuki, gave Konoha too much reward.

Konoha, which is slowly recovering its strength after the Ninja World War, is lacking sufficient development funds. The assistance from the Kingdom of Snow, as long as it can solve Konoha's urgent needs, is enough to make Minato, the Hokage, relent.

Based on the above things, it is logical for Kakashi to come here.

The only unhappy part was that his leisurely vacation plan came to nothing.

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

It's just that the rebel Fenghua Raging Wave has sent his snow ninjas to blockade the entire Fenghua City and start searching the city for traces of the princess Fenghua Xiaoxue.

Kakashi didn't know when Fenghua Koyuki would be found by Fenghua Furumao. Judging from the current situation, he had to act quickly.

Before Fenghua Raging Waves finds Fenghua Xiaoxue, he must successfully rescue the target and take him away from the country of snow.

Once Fenghua Xiaoxue is caught by Fenghua Raging Waves, the difficulty of the task will change from A level to S level.

Minato's order to Kakashi is that if Fenghua Koyuki is caught by the enemy, he can abandon the mission depending on the situation.

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

The ninjas in the Land of Snow are called snow ninjas. They are not affiliated with the ninja village, but are an army trained by the daimyo.

However, in this generation, most of the management rights of the snow ninja fell into the hands of Fenghua Furutao, which fueled the other party's ambition and gave birth to the idea of ​​replacing his brother Fenghua Hayuki and becoming the new daimyo of the Snow Country.

After traveling for several hours, the sky has darkened and Fenghua City is right in front of us.

It was a majestic city built on the mountainside. Under the night, cold snowflakes fell from the sky.

The city wall is tall and thick. For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a dream to climb such a wall. But for a Jonin like Kakashi, such a tall wall is just a decoration.

Easily climbing over the wall of Fenghua Castle, Kakashi avoided the guarding soldiers and quietly entered Fenghua Castle.

In the letter sent to Konoha, it mentioned the hidden location of Princess Fenghua Koyuki in Fenghua Castle, and Kakashi rushed there quickly.

It was a dilapidated private house. After avoiding the snow ninjas who were searching for something in the city, Kakashi revealed his figure and watched the snow ninjas go away.

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

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

Therefore, it is definitely not a good idea to go head-to-head with these snow ninjas.

Fortunately, Kakashi does not need to fight these snow ninjas head-on. He only needs to escort the target to leave the country of snow safely.

Stepping into a dark path, Kakashi entered the innermost private house.

It was dark inside, but there was a strange musty smell, and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

Kakashi groped for the secret compartment in the dark, and remembered it was in an inconspicuous alcove behind the cabinet. After pressing the mechanism in the cave, there was only a click sound and the sound of rolling stone slabs. The stone slab next to it was cut open. Looking with the moonlight, it was a hidden road leading underground.

Kakashi walked down the darkness for about a minute before reaching the bottom.

The bottom is still pitch black, but through his perception ninjutsu, Kakashi can know how many people are hiding here and where they are hiding.

Only two knocks on the door.

Kakashi just stood in the darkness, waiting for the person on the other side of the door to open it.

Without letting Kakashi wait too long, the door was opened, and the light inside reflected through the crack in the door, shining right on Kakashi.

It was a snow ninja like the one outside, wearing special blue and white armor and a forehead protector engraved with snowflake marks.

Unlike the snow ninjas outside, these snow ninjas were close associates of the late Snow Country's great name Kazehana Hayuki.

Without them, Fenghua Xiaoxue would not have been able to escape from the castle in Fenghua City, and she has not been found by anyone from Fenghua Raging Waves.

The snow ninja looked obviously relieved when he saw Kakashi's attire and the Konoha forehead protector he wore on his forehead.

Kakashi was not looked down upon because of his age.

With the mask, the short sword behind him, and his silver hair, even ninjas from the remote Snow Country have heard of Kakashi's name.

The son of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge, a student of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, and a Konoha genius Jonin who shone brightly in the previous Ninja World War.

Konoha sent such a person here because they were obviously serious about their country of snow, rather than just sending a ninja here to fool them.

Kakashi took out the letter and gave it to the snow ninja to read.

"Please come in."

Recognizing that Kakashi was not a man in disguise, the snow ninja opened the door wider and let Kakashi in.

This was a small stone room. Apart from the snow ninja, there was only a little girl in Chinese clothes living in it.

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

The identity of the other party is self-evident. She is the daughter of the late Snow Country daimyo Fenghua Hayeyuki and the Snow Country princess Fenghua Koyuki.

"Your Highness Koyuki, please don't be afraid. This is Lord Hatake Kakashi from Konoha. He is here to protect you, Your Highness."

After hearing the snow ninja's explanation, Fenghua Xiaoxue nodded, and the tension and anxiety on her face receded a little.

"So, what about the situation now?"

Kakashi nodded to Princess Koyuki, then looked at the snow ninja guard and asked what the current situation was in Fenghua City.

"Most of the power in Fenghua City is controlled by the traitor Fenghua Furious Tao. Officials who disobey Fenghua Furious Tao should be sorted out by now."

The snow ninja guard sighed softly.

This also means that it is only a matter of time before Feng Hua Furao becomes the new daimyo of the Land of Snow.

Fenghua Furumao's declaration to the outside world also declared that his brother Fenghua Zaoyue passed away due to illness, and that the Snow Country could not be left without an owner for a day, and then used this turmoil to promote himself to become a famous name in the Snow Country.

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

But it's too early to say this now. The most important thing at the moment is to send Princess Xiaoxue out of the country of snow and escape this disaster.

Just thinking about the originally peaceful Snow Country, which fell into a bloody storm due to the wild ambitions, made me feel helpless.

"The situation is more serious than imagined. So, how do we send His Highness Xiaoxue out of Fenghua City?"

Kakashi wanted to hear the arrangements of this snow ninja. The other party was a ninja from the country of snow. He was very familiar with Fenghua City and the country of snow, so he must have had a plan in advance.

"We will attract the firepower, and you will take His Highness Xiaoxue out of Fenghua City and escape from the Kingdom of Snow."

"you?"

Snow Ninja nodded and said: "Yes, us. Although there are not many people, it is enough to cause chaos and attract people from Fenghua Ragao. At that time, it is the best time to take His Highness Xiaoxue to leave Fenghua City. As long as we leave Fenghua City In Huacheng, the Feng Hua Furang Tao has not yet mastered the full power of the Kingdom of Snow, and its pursuit power will be greatly weakened."

Although simple, it is effective enough.

Moreover, there is not much time to make any detailed plans now.

Because the snow ninjas from the Fenghuafuluo faction will search here soon.

Kakashi had no objection.

"By the way, after sending His Highness Xiaoyuki out, please go to the Kingdom of Rainbow and contact a person named Mr. Asama."

Snow Ninja spoke again.

"Santafu Asama? I understand. I will go to the Kingdom of Rainbow to contact him later."

Kakashi nodded solemnly.

Without saying anything else, the snow ninja guard left the stone room directly, contacted his companions, and together they attracted the firepower of the snow ninja from the Feng Hua Raging Tide faction.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess."

Kakashi carried Princess Koyuki behind him and quickly left the stone room.

When we got outside, the sound of explosions broke the silence of the night.

A fire broke out in a building not far away, and fire powder flew into the sky, shining brilliantly in the night sky.

When Kakashi saw the snow ninja guard, he rushed towards the hostile snow ninja regardless of his own safety, and started a fierce battle.

Chaos also occurred in other places, and the operation began.

Kakashi just glanced at it and didn't pay attention anymore. He carried Princess Koyuki on his back and quickly rushed towards the wall of Fenghua City with the help of the shadow of the building.

◎

Run along the forest road.

The wind and snow on both sides passed by her ears, and Princess Koyuki's face turned pale from the cold on Kakashi's back. The biting cold air made her gasp on Kakashi's back.

Suddenly, Kakashi felt that the air around him began to be filled with an unrestrained murderous aura, which was even colder than the white snow falling around him.

Kunai flew rapidly from both sides, Kakashi accelerated hard, his legs were covered with fine electric current, and he directly avoided the kunai's projectile attack, causing the kunai to stab deeply into the snow.

"Ice Release·Sleet!"

The white snow was flying, and the beautiful snowflakes were controlled and attacked Kakashi.

He dodged sideways, but there was a wound cut by snowflakes on his shoulder, bleeding from it.

Princess Koyuki, who was on Kakashi's back, was so frightened that she couldn't even breathe. Her bright and helpless eyes were shining in the dark forest.

The sound of laughter echoed from the forest.

A female Snow Ninja wore a special blue and white armor, with bat-like wings spread out on her back, soaring into the sky in the snowy night.

"It turns out to be the famous Hatake Kakashi. Is this what Kazehana Hayuki relies on? He actually entrusted foreign ninjas to interfere with the internal affairs of the Snow Country."

Although Konoha is powerful, it is too far away from the Land of Snow. Therefore, female snow ninjas are not afraid of Konoha at all.

Kakashi didn't say anything, he just threw out a kunai and flew towards the opponent.

The female Snow Ninja did not dodge, the kunai was about to fall on her body, and a transparent shield immediately appeared around her body, which bounced the kunai away.

"Understand, whether it is physical or ninjutsu attacks, it is meaningless to us who have chakra armor. This kind of armor can even defend against illusions."

The female snow ninja laughed wildly in the air.

He doesn't care about exposing his trump card to the enemy.

This was the strong confidence that the chakra armor gave her.

As long as we have this, the Snow Country will become a country like the five major countries sooner or later.

As long as the treasure hidden by the dead daimyo Kazuka Hayeyuki is found, the Snow Country can become stronger again.

"Then, hand over the hexagonal crystal. You can take it with you, Princess Koyuki. How about it, Hatake Kakashi?"

The female snow ninja was discussing.

Hexagonal crystal? Kakashi looked puzzled.

what is that?

Whatever it is, a mission is a mission, and there is no room for compromise.

Moreover, it is the same even if the opponent has chakra armor that can defend against taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu.

Without hesitation, Kakashi pulled out the White Fang dagger from behind.

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

Because he had to fight seriously, Kakashi couldn't take care of Princess Koyuki on his back too much.

Princess Koyuki heard this and quickly hugged Kakashi's neck from behind.

There was a moon-white glimmer attached to the White Fang dagger. Under the black and white snowy night, that light carried a deadly aura.

"As I said, this kind of broken knife is -" to me

The female snow ninja mocked arrogantly, and midway through her words, she felt severe pain in her body and her face was dull.

Blood spurted out from his body and splashed on the white snow on the ground.

On her shoulder, the chakra armor was cut open by the White Fang dagger like tofu. As long as the wound made by the blade was deeper, the entire arm would be cut off.

The female snow ninja had a horrified look on her face and quickly flew to a higher altitude, looking at Kakashi on the snow with frightened eyes.

The opponent was holding a bloody dagger, and his gaze was like a blade.

"What did you just say? You were the one injured by the broken knife, right?"

Kakashi's salty words made the female snow ninja look ferocious, but she did not dare to step forward to fight Kakashi.

Because the next time he was hit by White Fang's dagger, he would definitely die.

At this moment, there was a strange movement behind Kakashi.

Snowflakes were flying, and a male snow ninja appeared there. A huge shadow shrouded him, wearing the same chakra armor as the female ninja. With his strong and powerful body, the huge sense of oppression made it difficult to breathe.

He clasped his hands together, and a large amount of cold air immediately sprayed out from the chakra armor, and a powerful momentum exploded in an instant, hitting Kakashi's head.

"!"

The male snow ninja's eyes widened.

The attack with his clasped hands was blocked by the White Fang dagger raised above Kakashi's head.

It may seem scary to others, but to Kakashi, it is nothing surprising.

Because he was using Senjutsu Chakra at this moment to greatly improve his physical fitness, making his thin body enough to explode with power that surpassed that of male snow ninjas.

Then, White Fang's dagger made a stroke as fast as a stream of light.

Along with the screams, blood splattered, and the male snow ninja's hands fell to the snow.

"Freezing rain!"

The female snow ninja in the sky shouted the name of the strong male snow ninja. Just as she was about to fly down, Kakashi stared at her with cold eyes. Her body immediately froze in the air, intimidated by Kakashi's momentum and unable to move. Swallowing the saliva caused by fear.

Kakashi shifted his gaze and looked next to a snow-covered tree.

A snow ninja wearing chakra armor appeared there at some point. He had long icy blue hair and was about twenty years old. He stared at Kakashi with a gloomy expression, while the snow ninja named Liang Yu screamed in pain on the ground. , and did not step forward.

Princess Koyuki, who was on Kakashi's back, trembled.

She knew this snow ninja with long ice-blue hair, called Wolf Fang Avalanche.

He was a direct subordinate of Fenghua and Furious Tao. In the previous coup, he massacred those who opposed Fenghua and Furious Tao in Fenghua City.

The ninjas in the Land of Snow are also among the best.

Kakashi also saw that this person was extraordinary. If it was the man and woman just now who could tangle with the jounin a little bit with the help of the so-called chakra armor, then this one was probably a jounin.

Wearing chakra armor makes you more powerful.

Kakashi didn't speak and used the teleportation technique to leave the place.

The female snow ninja flying in the sky wanted to catch up, but Langya Avalanche stopped her: "Fubuki, don't go there, you will be killed. That Hatake Kakashi is not simple, he is worthy of being the son of Konoha White Fang. "

There was a solemn expression on his face, and it was obvious that he had no confidence in taking down Kakashi.

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

If we catch up now, the three of them will probably be killed.

Although he is a subordinate of Feng Hua Raging Tao, he will not be so blind as to be willing to die for Feng Hua Raging Tao's ambition.

In the final analysis, it was just because Fenghuafurusao ascended to the position of daimyo that he could get more benefits.

"Then what happens next?"

"First stabilize Rongyu's injuries and replace the lost hands with prosthetics. As for the hexagonal crystal... I don't believe that Konoha can protect Fenghua Koyuki for the rest of his life. As long as Konoha loses the protective umbrella, Fenghua Koyuki will The hexagonal crystal on your body will be ours sooner or later."

Langya Xuebeng analyzed rationally.

The female snow ninja Fubuki nodded and followed Langya Avalanche's suggestion.

◎

"I didn't expect that the Snow Country, which has always been peaceful and peaceful, would have such internal turmoil."

In the office, the specific information reported by Kakashi was obtained, and everything seen and heard in the Snow Country was recorded in detail, so that Shiraishi could know the degree of chaos within the Snow Country at the moment.

The famous name of the Snow Kingdom, Fenghua Zaoyue, was assassinated by his younger brother Fenghua Furuda, and announced that he died of illness.

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

By that time, regardless of the opposition in the country, it will be settled that Feng Hua Furu Tao will inherit the title of Snow Country's great name.

"Isn't this just what you want? Moreover, Fenghua Koyuki, who has the right to inherit the daimyo, has also been brought to the Kingdom of Demons by Kakashi to settle down, which is very beneficial to us."

Liuli saw the secret and thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"That's true. Even if Fenghua Hayuki dies accidentally, the heir should be Fenghua Hayuki's only son Fenghua Koyuki. Fenghua Furuda inherits the name of the Snow Country only because of powerful force, bloody suppression, and elimination of all opposition Sound, the disadvantages will not be eliminated so easily.”

Shiraishi nodded and acknowledged what Liuli said, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Use Fenghua Xiaoxue's status as the orthodox heir to secretly help Fenghua Xiaoxue, defeat Fenghua's terrorist regime, and then take over everything in the Snow Country. This is a great opportunity to increase the territory under your jurisdiction.

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

"Then when do you plan to take action?"

"The Kingdom of Ghosts is still a neutral country. It is not appropriate to take over the Kingdom of Snow with great fanfare. You need to hide under the water. In name, we are only assisting Princess Fenghua Koyuki to regain her own power."

Moreover, how to take over the Kingdom of Snow is also a problem. We need to come up with a suitable charter and we cannot rush it.

"Anyway, let's go to the Kingdom of Rainbow and contact the person named Sandafu Asama first. He is the valet of the famous Fenghua Hayeyuki of the Snow Kingdom. If we can convince him, things will be much easier."

After all, Fenghua Xiaoxue is just a child who doesn't understand anything and has no ability to act independently.

Shiraishi made a decision quickly.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Liuli was a little pessimistic.

"Try to give it a try. No matter what, Fenghua Xiaoxue will not be able to take back what belongs to her without the intervention of a strong external force. But then again, Liuli, do you think if I recognize Fenghua Xiaoxue as my adopted daughter? Will things go much smoother?"

Shiraishi considered this matter seriously.

In this way, he also has enough reasons to assist Fenghua Xiaoxue, intervene in the battle of the Snow Kingdom, defeat Fenghua Furious Waves, and help the other party regain the Snow Kingdom.
