Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 161 The Princess Who Ran Away from the Snow Country

Fire Country Metropolitan Cinema.

Natsume looked around with great curiosity.

It's somewhat similar to the movie theater from my previous life, but it has a more retro feel.

Of course, he didn't come to see the movie; he came to find Feng Hua Xiaoxue.

To be more precise, it was the film queen Fuji Fuyuki.

"Excuse me, sir, the actors' dressing room is in the back, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Two middle-aged men each extended a hand to stop Natsume.

"I am a fan of Ms. Fujikaze Yukie."

Natsume took out a movie poster and said, "I'd like to ask her for an autograph."

"Do you have an appointment? If not, please return."

The middle-aged man on the left spoke up, "Ms. Fujikaze Yukie doesn't see fans."

"I have an appointment."

Natsume took out a stack of 10,000 taels of banknotes and said.

"Guest, what you are doing is not in accordance with the rules."

The two middle-aged men's eyes lit up immediately, but then they looked troubled and said...

"Alright."

With two extremely reluctant expressions, Natsume put away the money, then punched each of them.

He didn't originally intend to make such a big fuss.

But since we've encountered such an upright guard, we should show him respect.

He opened the door and went into the back hall.

"Who are you?"

A middle-aged man with a full beard blocked his way and asked suspiciously, "How did they let you in?"

"Shouldn't you state your own name before asking the guest's name?"

Natsume had a pretty good idea of ​​who he was.

"Asama Santayu, Fuji Kaze Yukie's agent."

Asama Santayu frowned and asked, "You don't even know me? What brings you here?"

"I have something to discuss with you."

Natsume laughed and said, "You'll definitely be interested in something about the Land of Snow."

"What Snow Country? We don't know that. You've got the wrong person."

Upon hearing this, Asama Santayu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly waved his hand dismissively.

"I can help you restore your kingdom."

Natsume continued.

"Restore the kingdom?"

Asama Santayu was stunned for a few seconds.

He wasn't sure if the Land of Snow was mentioned.

But now that the topic of restoring the nation has come to this, there is no doubt that the identities of the two men have been exposed.

"I don't want to restore the country."

The voice of wind, flowers, and snow drifted over.

Natsume turned his head and saw a girl dressed in a gorgeous kimono.

This is probably a costume from a movie; the makeup is quite glamorous, with red eyeshadow and red lips.

He looked much older than his actual age, giving Natsume the impression that he was twenty.

In the original work, her exact age was not mentioned, but she should only be a few years older than Naruto Uzumaki.

He was probably fourteen or fifteen years old at this time.

"Why don't you want to restore your country?"

Natsume asked, "Don't you want to avenge your father?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue trembled. She slowly closed her eyes, and memories of the past resurfaced in her mind.

"Restore the country? With what can we restore the country?"

Her expression was one of disdain. "You? How could you possibly be a match for Feng Hua Nu Tao? How arrogant!"

"Oh, so you're a coward."

Natsume recalled the plot of the original work and said, "So this is what they call a blood feud for killing one's father."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue had been running away from home for many years because the psychological trauma she suffered back then was too great, leaving her with an extreme lack of security.

This behavior isn't cowardly; it's a normal reaction.

However, when it comes to negotiations, you have to ask for the lion's share first.

"Shut up!"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue immediately lost her composure, unable to maintain her princess-like elegance any longer, and angrily retorted, "What do you know? That could be fatal!"

"You have a point."

Natsume paused, then asked, "But if you really want revenge, why not use the money you earn as an actor to hire ninjas from the Five Great Villages?"

"I...I..."

The wind, flowers, and light snow left him speechless for a moment.

This is indeed a good idea.

But she didn't want to use it.

In her view, this is still very dangerous.

She didn't need to risk her life for the Land of Snow.

"You have no idea of ​​the power of Wind and Waves!"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue realized what was happening and shouted, "Get out of here right now! I don't want to see you again!"

"Your Highness."

Asama Santayu immediately advised, "I think we can give it a try."

Although he is an agent, he was also a former minister of the Snow Country.

After finding Feng Hua Xiaoxue, he kept trying to get her to go back, but she refused.

Now that Natsume has come to his door, the idea has resurfaced.

"Get out!"

Feng Hua Xiao Xue has completely lost her mind.

Natsume was not angry about this.

He thought of Uchiha Mikoto.

The two are somewhat similar.

Fear of power.

Of course, Feng Hua Xiaoxue had one more thing to consider: she valued her life more.

In the original work, she wouldn't have returned to the Land of Snow if it weren't for Naruto Uzumaki's talk-no-jutsu.

His performance impressed Fuuka Koyuki, who developed feelings for him.

It has to be said that Naruto Uzumaki was incredibly popular with women in the movie.

"Is the 'Wind, Flowers, and Raging Waves' really strong?"

Natsume stepped forward and asked, "In your eyes, is this all there is to the definition of a strong person?"

"What...what do you want to do?"

Just moments ago, Feng Hua Xiaoxue was furious, but she immediately backed away in fright.

"Sir, please do not act rashly."

Asama Santayu quickly stopped Natsume, saying, "I will protect Her Highness with my life."

"How much do you make a month? Why are you working yourself to death?"

Natsume recalled how, in the original work, he led his forty-nine loyal old, weak, sick, and disabled followers in a charge against the enemy.

Well, the result was zero kills and forty-nine deaths.

You'll be considered to be feeding kills if you do that.

"Don't move around."

Natsume spoke calmly.

An invisible aura surged from his body.

The two people in front of him immediately turned pale, their eyes filled with fear.

Natsume raised his hand.

"No...no...don't kill me..."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue's jaw trembled, and her voice trembled as well.

She was just an ordinary person, and she was afraid of death. Faced with Natsume's intimidating aura, she appeared particularly vulnerable.

"I want you to understand that stormy weather is nothing."

Natsume pressed down on her shoulder, about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but suddenly froze.

Amidst extreme fear, Feng Hua Xiaoxue felt a warm sensation flow through her.

Instantly, her face flushed red and then turned pale, a mixture of shame and fear.

Natsume casually knocked Asama Santayu unconscious, preserving the last shred of her dignity.

"I'm sorry, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean to kill you."

He sighed and said, "Go change your clothes."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue turned around and ran into the room.

I had a suicidal urge.

But ultimately, the will to survive triumphed over social death.

Besides, it was only seen by one person.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue changed her clothes and reappeared in the hall.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Can you really defeat the raging storm?"

The situation she had just witnessed made her realize that Natsume was no ordinary boy.

She had no way to resist.

But compared to the raging storm, she still found her uncle even more terrifying.

"seeing is believing."

Natsume extended his hand and said, "Come with me."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue stared intently at him, trying to detect any trace of fear or panic in his expression.

but no.

She gritted her teeth. Since things had come to this, she had no other choice. She reached out and grasped Natsume's hand.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is activated.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue felt her body sway, and when she opened her eyes again, she was stunned.

The land of snow lies beneath her feet.

What's going on?

A miracle?

The Land of Fire to the Land of Snow is such a long distance, it only takes a blink of an eye.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue looked shocked and confused.

But she soon realized she was on a huge aerial fortress.

What is this thing?

Within seconds, she felt her worldview had been reshaped.

"Natsume."

Uchiha Shisui noticed the arrival of the two and immediately appeared.

"How is the situation?"

Natsume nodded and asked.

"They launched an attack yesterday, which we captured, and there has been no further activity since."

Uchiha Shisui immediately reported, "But this morning, we discovered that they were gathering their forces, presumably planning a decisive battle."

"Let's go down."

Natsume grabbed Fuuka Koyuki's shoulder and said, "Why don't you come and take a look too?"

Before she could answer, they had already landed in front of the royal palace of the Snow City.

Feng Hua Nu Tao, standing in the square, was stunned and didn't quite react.

When he saw the wind, flowers, and snow, he immediately showed great joy.

"Haha, Xiaoxue, your uncle has missed you so much!"

"You said you could beat him."

Kazakura Koyuki trembled and quickly hid behind Natsume.

"Defeat me? With these two barely grown-up brats?"

Feng Hua Nu Tao's lips curled into a sneer. "Kill them all, and capture Xiao Xue alive."

Crane Wing Blizzard was the first to make a move. A burst of air emanated from her chakra armor, and she immediately took to the air.

Ice Release: Swallow Snowfall!

She formed hand seals, and countless snowflakes transformed into darts, which, under her control, swept over Natsume and Uchiha Shisui.

The ice jutsu used by the snow ninjas is not a bloodline limit.

Rather, it is a ninjutsu that arose from the environment and is equivalent to a secret technique.

In a different location, they might not be able to use Ice Release.

This is different from Haku's Ice Release.

One of the most direct pieces of evidence is that Kakashi Hatake once used his Sharingan to copy Ice Release: One Horn White Whale.

As is widely known, the Sharingan cannot copy bloodline limits.

Uchiha Shisui drew his short sword and swung it forward, blocking all the throwing stars.

"what!"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue screamed instinctively.

Winter Bear Hailstorm reached out and grabbed at her with its two large hands.

Natsume pulled Fuuka Koyuki into his arms, clenched his right fist, and struck the center of the chakra armor through his hands.

"idiot!"

Winter Bear Hail revealed a ferocious grin on its face.

The strongest part of the chakra armor is in the center of the chest.

But the next moment, a click sounded.

Winter Bear Hail instinctively lowered his head, his smile turning into disbelief.

His body was sent flying backwards instantly.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue opened her eyes wide.

In her childhood memories, her snow ninja guards were helpless against enemies clad in chakra armor.

No matter what kind of ninjutsu it is, it cannot penetrate its defenses.

Natsume simply swung his fist and effortlessly killed someone; it was simply a dream come true.

Feng Hua Nu Tao's expression changed drastically.

Even he couldn't have shattered the chakra armor so easily.

Thinking of this, he stopped watching and formed a hand seal.

Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!

The chakra in his hand transformed into a giant black dragon, which roared and flew out.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue immediately showed a look of despair.

Her frail body wasn't even enough to fill the black dragon's teeth.

If I had known, she shouldn't have come.

Natsume clapped his hands, too lazy to play anymore.

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

Under his control, the entire square floor suddenly bulged up, and thick trees grew rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a small grove of trees.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue was completely dumbfounded.

She watched as the trees seemed to come alive, easily binding dozens of snow ninjas and rendering them completely immobile.

Including what she considered invincible wind, flowers, and raging waves.

Uchiha Shisui sheathed his short sword, somewhat regretfully, as he had no opportunity to use it again.

"Your Highness, what do you intend to do with them?"

Natsume turned around, gracefully raised his hand, and asked.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue came to her senses and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Then let's kill the four masterminds first."

Natsume smiled and then snapped his fingers.

The sharp branches easily pierced the chakra armor, turning the raging wind and waves, the wolf-fang avalanche, the crane-wing snowstorm, and the winter bear hail into hedgehogs.

Blood splattered.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue trembled, and her face turned pale.

However, she was not unfamiliar with bloodshed, so she did not react excessively.

But seeing her enemy, whom she had been hiding from for years, die so easily still made her feel a sense of absurdity.

Do you believe it now?

Seeing her dazed look, Natsume asked.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue nodded subconsciously.

Although she felt like she was in a dream, everything around her felt so real.

"Then let's talk about cooperation."

Natsume beckoned with his finger, and immediately two giant trees bent down and lay across their backs. "Let's sit down and talk."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue sat on the tree trunk, the icy touch of her hands reminding her that she was not dreaming.

She took a deep breath and asked, "What cooperation? With your capabilities, you don't need to cooperate with me at all, do you?"

"It's not necessary, but the governance of the Land of Snow cannot be separated from a daimyo."

Natsume explained, "From now on, you will become the daimyo of the Land of Snow, and we will provide protection, just like a village within a country."

"no problem."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue agreed without hesitation.

"So straightforward?"

Natsume was somewhat surprised and asked, "Aren't you afraid we'll lie to you?"

"Even if you're lying to me, what can I do?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue has fully realized her situation.

If you obey, you can survive and even become a great name.

Disobedient, turbulent, her uncle's death is right before her eyes, a death knell tolling for her.

"You are very smart, and I believe you can govern the Snow Country well."

Natsume jumped down from the tree trunk, looked at the snow ninjas who were entangled, and said, "Kneel down and pay homage to your new daimyo, and you will live."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and all the trees went back to their original positions, leaving only a messy square as proof of what had just happened.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

The snow ninjas rushed to kneel before Fuuka Koyuki.

They had no loyalty to the wind, flowers, raging waves.

They only chose to submit because they couldn't win.

It would be very easy to get them to change their ways now.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue accepted their allegiance in a daze.

She still hasn't fully regained consciousness.

Just minutes before, she was an excellent actress.

In the blink of an eye, he became the daimyo of the Land of Snow and avenged his father.

Speaking of her father, she subconsciously looked at the necklace on her chest, a hexagonal crystal.

"This is the key to the treasure left by my father."

Fuuka Koyuki took off her necklace and handed it to Natsume.

This matter will be known sooner or later.

It would be better to bring it up yourself to show sincerity.

Do you know what it is?

Natsume took the hexagonal crystal, which still retained warmth, and asked.

"have no idea."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue shook her head. "My father didn't tell me."

"Let's go take a look."

Natsume naturally knew what it was, but he couldn't explain it.

Moreover, this is a father's heartfelt gift to his daughter.

We must make sure that Feng Hua Xiaoxue sees it with her own eyes.

"Let me go?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue's face showed surprise.

The turbulent waves and the power struggle were all for this treasure, which must be extremely precious.

But Natsume seemed completely unconcerned, which really puzzled her.

"Lead the way to Rainbow Glacier."

"Oh, oh."

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiao Xue immediately walked forward and soon arrived at her destination.

Natsume placed the hexagonal crystal on what he called an environmental modification machine or a heater.

In an instant, the ice and snow melted, and spring arrived with blooming flowers.

That's cutting-edge technology!

Natsume looked on with a sigh.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue stared blankly at the suddenly appearing projection, tears streaming down her face.

It was her father who was a womanizer.

He built this heater to improve the environment of the Snow Country and fulfill Kazeka Koyuki's wish.

Unfortunately, the research was interrupted due to the raging storm, resulting in a defective product.

"Here you go."

Natsume placed the hexagonal crystal into Koyuki Fuuka's hand and said, "For your father."

Okay, let's get a job, girl!

Dedicate your limited life to the boundless development of the Snow Kingdom and fulfill your father's dream.

Fuuka Koyuki put the necklace back on, glanced at Natsume, then quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Natsume smiled and said, "It's just a matter of each getting what they need."

"You... will you always stay in the Snow Country, right?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue raised her head, a faint blush on her delicate face.

"Didn't I already say that the Snow Country will be under our protection from now on?"

Natsume turned around and said, "Let's go."

A look of infatuation appeared in Feng Hua Xiaoxue's eyes, and she quickly jogged to catch up.

For a teenage girl, Natsume's appearance was like a hero coming to her rescue.

It's natural to develop feelings of goodwill without it even being noticed.

Natsume didn't think that much about it.

He just needs a tool.

The two returned to the palace.

Uchiha Shisui and others are already handling the aftermath.

Natsume then brought Asama Santayu with him.

Upon learning everything, he was overcome with emotion and immediately began arranging for his former officials to prepare for the abdication ceremony held on a serene and auspicious day.

[Because of your actions, the fates of Fuuka Koyuki, Fuuka Nutō, Asama Santayū, and others have changed. You have gained a total of 190 Fate Points.]

not bad.

It was an unexpected bonus.

There were more than Natsume had imagined.

After killing Fuuka Naoto, the rest was easy.

Kazakura Koyuki was the rightful heir, and far less tyrannical than her uncle, so she only spent three days to truly take control of the Snow Kingdom.

Five thousand words.
