Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

...Of course, with the current strength of the Snow Ninja, it is obviously impossible for them to defeat all the experts of Konoha.

Even the proudest stormy seas are aware of this.

But he didn't need to defeat everyone in Konoha.

In fact, he only needed to block the first three waves of Konoha's attacks to win.

The smaller countries, already on edge from Konoha's provocations, and the more hidden Kirigakure, will naturally take action next.

This will be a wolf pack-like siege.

No matter how strong Konoha's fighting force is, it will be greatly depleted during a long siege and eventually fall... What they need is not complete victory, but to shatter the myth of Konoha's invincibility and let other great ninja villages that are subordinate to Konoha see the hope of victory.

Everything will be fine as long as they are willing to launch an attack.

As for that "nothing to do" order... it's nothing but a piece of waste paper.

When the five great ninja villages are all exhausted from fighting, the Order of Peace only has value in existing and being obeyed.

As long as the five great ninja villages recover their strength, war will inevitably break out again.

The generally accepted timeframe is ten years from now, but Fuuka Nutō doesn't think so... In his eyes, that time is much earlier... And once the five great ninja villages start fighting again, he will have an opportunity.

Even the throne of the Snow Country...

“My foolish brother… I will take back what belongs to me sooner or later…” Feng Hua Nu Tao was born into a royal family and was physically strong and quick-witted from a young age.

Even before he had trained in chakra and become a ninja, he was already famous throughout the country for his strong physique.

After he began training in ninjutsu, his progress accelerated dramatically.

Within a few years, no one in the Snow Ninja Clan could rival him.

But he was not satisfied with this. When he realized that his power had reached a bottleneck and could not be improved, he learned from the experience of his predecessors and began to develop the Chakra Armor.

The five great ninja villages are obsessed with so-called bloodlines and secret techniques, but they don't know how much scientific ninja tools can improve a ninja's abilities.

Even though the current chakra armor is only an early model, when combined with his own ninjutsu, Fuuka Nyutō can still create a terrifying effect like a blizzard.

From any perspective, he is the chosen one of the Snow Kingdom.

The people were awestruck by his power, and every time he flew across the sky, they were filled with heartfelt amazement.

A person like him... should rightfully become the leader of the Snow Country.

The blood of the king already flowed in his veins.

The wind, flowers, and raging waves took it all for granted.

However, it did not.

Compared to his smarter and stronger son, his father, the king, clearly favored the incompetent and weak-willed Fuuka Hayase.

Although Fuuka Shoyuki is the older brother, in terms of strength, Fuuka Nutao could easily suppress him with one hand.

In terms of intelligence, while Feng Hua Zaoxue was still studying hard with the help of her tutor, Feng Hua Nutao had already finished her homework and was playing happily outside.

His personality strengths are even more obvious.

I remember one year, my father bought a very beautiful bird from outside.

The person selling the bird said that the bird's song was very beautiful.

But perhaps due to acclimatization issues, this bird never sings.

So the father asked them what to do.

The answer from Feng Hua Nu Tao is to intimidate it, and if it still doesn't cry out, just kill it.

Since it cannot fulfill its function, it has no value in continuing to exist.

And the older brother, Fuuka Hayase, replied that he would wait for it to call... How foolish, how weak! The Snow Country may be small, but there are many people with ill intentions within it.

To keep them in check, so-called gentleness won't do! Entrusting the country to such an incompetent person would be the greatest irresponsibility.

From any perspective, Feng Hua Nu Tao felt that he was far superior to his brother.

However... when that fateful day finally arrived... his brother still became the ruler.

His father acknowledged Feng Hua Nu Tao's abilities and felt that he was smarter and stronger than his brother, but—he was not the eldest son.

It was only at this point that Feng Hua Nu Tao realized that, from beginning to end, her father had only ever had one standard.

It's not about ability, not about wisdom, but about the order in which we emerge from our mother's womb! What a ridiculous thing that is!

He had always been dissatisfied with his older brother, and after the latter became the ruler of the country, he disliked him even more.

Naturally, he wanted to rebel against his brother.

Faced with his absolute power and the support of the Snow Ninja, the old ministers' so-called loyalty and the guards' bravery were utterly insignificant.

Even so, Feng Hua Nu Tao still did not choose to kill his brother directly.

Because he also knew that no matter how outrageous the rule was, many people in the Snow Country accepted this bloodline inheritance law.

It would be very troublesome if he killed his brother directly.

Moreover, he had heard from certain sources that there was a secret treasure hidden in the Snow Country, which seemed to have been passed down from their ancestors.

Feng Hua Nu Tao had never heard his foolish brother mention it, but he knew that the treasure must exist.

Before attaining that supreme position, Wind and Waves desire to obtain this treasure...

"The strong should possess everything, shouldn't they?"

"Even if the weak possess something at the beginning, they will not be able to keep it in the end, so it is better to give it to me from the beginning."

“For the sake of my brother, and since he poses no threat to me, it’s not like I can’t spare his life… My foolish father.”

Feng Hua Nu Tao stood in the wind and snow, gazing into the distance, reminiscing about the past, and for a moment lost in thought.

It's unclear how much time passed before Feng Hua Nu Tao was awakened by a series of coughs.

"Cough cough cough..." Feng Hua Nu Tao turned around and found that it was his brother leading a small team of guards out of the Ice and Snow Palace.

As inhabitants of the polar regions, they should have long been accustomed to wind, snow, and severe cold.

However, Feng Hua Zaoxue's health was rather poor. Whenever it snowed, he would easily fall ill. Coughing without any illness, like he is now, was quite common.

"Brother!" No matter how much she looked down on her incompetent brother, Feng Hua Nu Tao at least maintained a semblance of politeness.

However, today's "wind, flowers, and early snow" were clearly not there to chat with him.

“Raging Waves… I already know what you’ve done…” Kazama Shoyuki coughed twice more, and although he tried to appear serious, he couldn’t hide his weak voice. “What you’ve done will kill our Snow Country!”

Feng Hua Nu Tao considered himself to have acted quite meticulously, and had not revealed his cooperation with Wu Yin to outsiders.

But Feng Hua Zaoxue still found out... Ah, what can you do when he's the king?

Ultimately, people are still more willing to accept this utterly boring primogeniture system.

Whoever is born first is right and excellent.

Now that Feng Hua Zao Xue already knew, Feng Hua Nu Tao no longer bothered to hide it and directly revealed his thoughts.

"Damage the Snow Country? I was just doing the right thing."

"You are the one who will truly destroy the Snow Country."

"Ahem!" Feng Hua Zao Xue clearly didn't expect Feng Hua Nu Tao to admit it so directly, and even more so, she didn't expect the other party to refute her so matter-of-factly.

He tried to speak, but he couldn't catch his breath.

He struggled to cover his mouth with a handkerchief, coughing for a while before finally stopping.

“I roughly know your plan, and I also know that you are not acting alone.”

"But... how could we possibly challenge a great power like the Land of Fire? You've stayed in the Land of Snow for too long and don't know what's going on outside."

The Snow Ninja you rely on are a joke in front of a true great ninja village! They don't even need to use their full strength; even just a single elite squad could easily defeat you head-on!

"Moreover, even if your plan succeeds, your cronies may not fulfill your wishes... While you still have a chance, repent!"

"I will personally explain the mistake you made to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage of Konoha! They might even forgive you!"

Perhaps because she was too excited, or perhaps because she was really sick, Feng Huazaoxue spoke with difficulty, and tears even welled up in her eyes.

How weak!

Feng Hua Nu Tao thought to himself.

He reached out and wiped away his brother's tears.

But this was not because he cared about so-called brotherhood.

When his father chose to pursue romance and early adulthood, he lost all affection for him, and even felt no sympathy for him.

He looked down at his brother.

"What's with that expression? What are those tears?"

"Can your tears defeat the powerful figures eyeing us from the outside? Can they save the Snow Country?"

"Cough..." Feng Hua Zhaoxue said breathlessly, her voice strained, "For a small country to bully a large country has always been a path to certain death!"

"Perhaps it won't be apparent in the short term, but what has been done has been done."

Even after many years, it will eventually be brought up again... A great power can fail countless times, but if it succeeds even once, we will never be able to recover!

"You're gambling! You're taking everyone in the Snow Kingdom to their deaths for your own ambition!"

Feng Hua Zao Xue has always been this kind of person.

To put it nicely, it's gentleness; to put it bluntly, it's cowardice.

He always thought about how to solve problems in a way that everyone could accept.

However, this time, Feng Hua Nu Tao did not directly refute him.

He was absolutely right.

This is a huge gamble.

He never truly trusted the Land of Water or the Hidden Mist, just as the Hidden Mist never trusted him.

Even before he stepped into the Hidden Mist Village, he already knew that the Hidden Mist Village was merely using him to achieve their own goals.

“But, my foolish brother…do you know that times have changed?”
