In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

She gave a cold laugh, feeling a little uncomfortable, as if someone had their eye on something she cherished.

"Mr. Tianyu, could you..."

Kazama Koyuki was about to say something.

He was interrupted by Tsunade.

“Miss Kazama, due to the changes in the current mission, your economic team can no longer accompany you to the Snow Country. The mission to restore the country will involve battles, and if we bring so many civilians, it will be difficult for us to protect your safety.”

Tsunade said with a smile, and stood up from her chair, walking between Tengo and Kazama Koyuki.

This blocked Kazama Koyuki's gaze from looking at Tenyu.

"Sure, I don't want to involve my agent when it comes to restoring the country."

Kazama Koyuki nodded and agreed.

However, Kazama Koyuki also seemed to sense Tsunade's subtle hostility towards him.

She didn't say much.

"In that case, let's set off sooner so we can resolve the issues in the Land of Snow and return as soon as possible."

Tianyu nodded and then left the office.

Kazama Koyuki nodded to Tsunade and then left with her.

……

Konoha Village entrance.

Naruto is waiting for Tengo here.

Seemingly getting a little bored while waiting, Naruto was squatting on the ground, drawing pictures on the ground with stones.

Tenyu walked over silently and saw that Naruto had drawn two little figures on the ground.

The two little figures seem to be fighting; one is making a dumpling in its hand, while the other is releasing lightning.

It's obvious at a glance that Naruto drew him and Sasuke.

Ah!

Who knew Naruto was such a talented artist?

They grasped the essence of painting so quickly.

"Naruto, what are you doing?"

Tenyu smiled and looked at Naruto, asking a question.

"Ah, Brother Tianyu, it's nothing!"

Naruto hurriedly waved his hand, while simultaneously using his body to hide the drawing on the ground.

Tianyu saw this but didn't expose it.

"Let's go, it will take three days to get to the Land of Snow, we need to hurry."

"Uh-huh!"

Naruto nodded vigorously and then followed behind Tenyu.

After walking a few steps, Tenyu glanced at Naruto, then said casually, "I went to Orochimaru's place earlier and gave him a sample of the Garel Stone. It's clear that Orochimaru values ​​Sasuke very much and treats him very well, so you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this...

Naruto's face flushed bright red.

"Brother Tianyu, I wasn't worried about Sasuke at all. That guy, that guy..."

Naruto talked for a long time, but he couldn't get the words out.

"Alright, stop talking. Sasuke is fine. Besides, Orochimaru said that after Sasuke returns from his training, he wants to have a match with you to see who is stronger. So, you better not lose to Sasuke then."

Tianyu said with a smile.

"No way! I have good skills. The Perverted Sage taught me the Rasengan, and Brother Tenyu helped me make a training plan. I won't lose to Sasuke."

Upon hearing this, Naruto seemed to be encouraged and spoke earnestly.

"Well, I believe you!"

Naruto smiled and said.

Several people walked through the forest.

After a day's journey, they finally arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

If you continue north from here, you'll reach a port. From there, it takes two days by boat to reach the Land of Snow.

Speechless all the way.

"have a rest."

The day passed quickly, and after the sun set, Tianyu finally found a clearing in the forest.

After arranging for everyone to rest, Tenyu took out rice balls and handed them to Naruto and Kazama Koyuki.

These rice balls were made for him by Tenten and Hinata, and they tasted really good.

"Hehe, I knew that I would never go hungry when I went on missions with Brother Tianyu, unlike other times when I went out with Kakashi-sensei and Sakura. They always ate soldier rations. Although those things would keep me from being hungry, they tasted really bad."

Naruto couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, what are you complaining about? The purpose of soldier rations is simply to quickly eliminate hunger. Of course, they won't taste good, but they are very convenient and much easier to carry than things like rice balls."

Tianyu couldn't help but say.

"Yes, I know that. That's why I said it's best to come out with Brother Tianyu, because we can always eat delicious rice balls. By the way, Princess Fengyun, what is the Snow Country like?"

Naruto asked Kazama Koyuki while eating the rice ball.

Naruto had never been to the Land of Snow before and was very curious about it.

"There, the Land of Snow, my homeland, is covered with snow that never melts. There are huge glaciers there. Legend has it that when spring comes, the sunlight shines on the glaciers and they will show seven colors. At that time, seven-colored ore can be mined. This ore can help the Land of Snow forge the strongest weapons and also bring hope to the Land of Snow."

Kazama Koyuki reminisces about the Land of Snow.

It had only been three years since she left the Land of Snow to become Fujikaze Yukie.

But during these three years, the name Kazama Koyuki seemed like something that had happened in a past life.

Even now, when she recalls the events of the Snow Country, it still feels like a distant memory.

"Seven-colored ore? Isn't it beautiful? Can it be used to make the strongest weapon, even more powerful than the ninja tools forged by Brother Tianyu?"

Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard this.

After all, the ninja tools forged by Tenyu were exceptionally effective, often proving surprisingly useful on the battlefield.

The ninjas of Konoha have overcome countless difficulties using these ninja tools.

Therefore, whenever Naruto thought of ore, he thought of the Tengo ninja tools.

"I have no idea?"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Kazama Koyuki shook her head.

"I don't know how strong a weapon forged from seven-colored ore is, because no one can mine seven-colored ore. The Snow Country is covered in snow all year round, and the snow never melts. The ice never disappears either. The Snow Country has no spring, so naturally you can't see the seven-colored ice walls!"

Kazama Koyuki smiled wryly.

"It's okay. As long as you believe, you'll see it sooner or later, and I believe that day will come very soon."

Naruto smiled and said, still as optimistic as ever.

However, Naruto doesn't understand yet what if the Land of Snow continues to live in such a state of misery?

Those colorful ice walls will never appear, and spring will never come to the land of snow.

Chapter 230 Attack on the Ship

"Perhaps!"

Kazama Koyuki glanced at Naruto.

Then she lowered her head. In her memory, the Snow Country had snow that never melted.

The snow felt like a heavy burden weighing on her heart.

When her father died, the pressure finally exploded.

She finally couldn't take it anymore and was forced to flee.

But now it seems that her escape was completely futile.

She would eventually have to return to the Land of Snow to face her uncle.

Tenyu looked at Kazama Koyuki.

He didn't speak.

After eating the rice balls, everyone prepared to rest.

Tianyu glanced behind him but said nothing.

They finally arrived at the ferry crossing at noon the next day.

There just happened to be a ship here, a ship heading to the Land of Snow. There's only one ship a week, and luckily they caught it in time.

After boarding the boat, the boatman didn't talk to them but instead steered the boat away.

Having not slept well in her room last night, Xiaoxue went to the cabin to catch up on sleep, while Naruto followed her to protect her safety.

As for Tianyu, he stood on the deck, gazing into the distance.

As we moved further and further from the shore, a thin mist gradually appeared on the boundless sea.

The view is blocked, making it impossible to see into the distance.

"Boatman, how long will it take us to get to the Land of Snow?"

Tianyu stood on the deck and looked at the boatman who was rowing silently, and asked.

"If all goes well and there are no storms at sea, we should arrive by this time tomorrow. But if there are storms tonight, we'll need to dock on a small island. We can't travel at night, so we won't reach the Land of Snow until the morning of the third day."
