I, Uchiha Yiyong, have not been hated!

Chapter 163 An encounter worth looking forward to

About two years ago, when designing the hospital in the Land of Rain, Butterfly Ninja said this to Giyuu:

“The appearance of a country’s most important buildings can to some extent reflect the psychological state of its occupants, especially those in power.”

"Why not a designer?"

"Because no matter what the design is, it has to be decided by the person who paid for it. The things on the drawings must be able to meet certain psychological expectations of those in power before they can be put into construction and finally completed as a real building."

While explaining, the Butterfly Ninja picked up a postcard on the table that Naruto asked Anjurou to bring to Giyuu.

The front of the postcard describes the current situation of Naruto and Sasuke, and the back shows a panoramic view of Konoha from a side perspective:

"For example, the Hokage Building in this picture is a cylindrical building built under Shadow Rock.

"It is about the same distance from any corner on the edge of the village. It is like a tree trunk with spreading branches and leaves, growing under the gaze of successive Hokages.

“Things like this express the core values ​​that the village openly promotes.

"No matter whether the ruler really thinks so, but on important occasions, he will always mention it."

After putting down the postcard, she opened the window and pointed at the dim sky.

"And the other type, such as the steel tower that belongs to Sansho Hanzo and Pain, directly reflects the self-perception of being superior to others. One of them is called the demigod of the ninja world, and the other simply calls himself a god. Of course I would choose to live in the place farthest from the ground.

"But being far away from the ground means being far away from the people of this country. You may be able to see far if you stand high, but you will definitely not be able to see clearly."

"However, considering that Yuyin Village is a real jungle society that worships power extremely, has a harsh and cold-blooded style, and likes to deify the strong, it is not unusual to have such a tower. But if it is a country that has peace all year round, their important buildings Objects will never be so sharp-edged."

"I don't think so."

Yiyong frowned. She always felt that Butterfly Ninja's theory was just like her understanding of dreams. It was a bit far-fetched: "Besides, your idea cannot be verified at all. In this world, is there really such a country that is at peace all year round? ?"

Where there are people there is no peace.

Where there are ninjas, there is almost no peace.

"To my surprise, there is a place."

The butterfly ninja smiled mysteriously, walked quickly to the other end of the room, came under the huge map hanging on the wall, and pointed to the upper left corner of the ninja world.

"Snow Country?"

Yiyong observed carefully for a while. He didn't even see the western border of the country. Obviously, even the person who drew the map didn't know much about this country.

"Yes, the country of Snow is blocked from the east, west, and south by snowy mountains, volcanic belts, and plateau terrain. The only channel for communication with the outside world is a port in the north. With such a unique terrain advantage, even if the five major countries conquer half of the continent, It's all sunk, and it won't affect them. It's not an exaggeration to say that this place is a paradise."

Butterfly Ninja's smile was sincere. It was as if she couldn't help but feel happy at the thought that there was such a place in the world.

"It is precisely because the three consecutive ninja wars had no impact on them, so the people of Snow Country can always focus on themselves and study the technologies that can be used to improve their lives. The world's first train, the first The internal combustion engine, the first camera, and the first ship were all born in this remote and small country.

"I've seen from Orochimaru's travel notes before that the Daimyo of the Land of Snow has a sky palace that looks like an airplane. How about it? It's amazing, isn't it?"

"You seem to be interested in these."

Butterfly Ninja nodded: "Of course. At that time (referring to the previous life), I had experienced so many things that ordinary people would never dare to think about, but I had never even been on a plane or a ship. It feels pity when I think about it.

"In the first year of Taisho (1912), I took the newspaper and told my sister that after we killed Guiwu Shiwuhan, we would go to Europe and cross the Atlantic Ocean on the Titanic, which was known as the 'first in the world'. Take a good look at the rest of the world.”

At this point, Butterfly Ninja seemed to be lost in memories, and his speech gradually slowed down.

"Although the giant ship that the Westerners blew into the sky sank on its first voyage, my sister did not even survive until it set sail. After that, I was left alone, and I was no longer interested in making similar jokes. This The plan will come to nothing."

Yiyong stared at her carefully and found that the Butterfly Ninja did not fall into sadness. Instead, his heartbeat was slow and the corners of his mouth were raised, so he did not disturb her.

The butterfly ninja stared at the map and was silent for a while before suddenly saying: "I have an idea."

She turned her head, her eyes sparkling: "After we solve the matters at hand, how about we take a boat to the Land of Snow together, ask their daimyo to borrow the flying palace, and go up to the sky to see it? "

"Not interested in."

Yiyong shook his head nonchalantly, "You can fly into the sky with the help of those bugs. After I master the breath of wind, I should also develop the technique of controlling airflow to fly. There is no need to sit on such a thing."

"Can that be the same? Aren't you curious about how that thing works?"

"Why can birds fly? If you study this, you will understand the principle."

"Then let's make a bet."

Butterfly Ninja put his hands behind his back and put "I will definitely win" on his forehead:

"Don't you believe my theory about buildings? If one day we go to the country of snow and find that the most important buildings in that country are completely different from the core buildings of those power-seeking ninja villages, then you will be honest How about sitting in that palace in the sky with me?"

"Speak as if the palace is yours."

"I'll definitely be able to borrow it if I think of a way. How about it, are you willing to agree to this bet?"

"You only talked about what happens if you win, but what if..."

"Just tell me whether you agree or not."

"Ok."

Now two years have passed, and the righteous finally came to the country of snow.

He stood on the rooftop of the palace, and the answer lay at his feet.

Butterfly Ren lost, and he didn't feel happy at all.

This country is isolated from the world and has a long life expectancy that is envied by 90% of the people in the ninja world. The residence of its daimyo and the leader of the ninja village is actually a steel fortress made of cement mixed with metal powder.

This fortress is far away from cities and settlements. It is protected among three smooth and towering icebergs. It is completely dark and full of angular and even redundant bunker towers, like a dormant steel behemoth.

The first second Yiyong saw this building, he had a vague idea of ​​the monarch of this country——

He is ambitious, distant from the people, tough but insecure, and has a romanticized desire for war.

Combined with the recent disappearance of a large number of young people in this country, Yiyong did not have any joy and pleasure at all in winning the bet.

The only thing to be thankful for is that their disappearance seems to have nothing to do with Orochimaru, and no one has become a guinea pig - it's just that the daimyo Feng Hua Furu Tao wanted to buy labor for free because he was short of money, so he arrested a group of young laborers to dig for him. Mine, build railroads, and make chakra armor, that's all.

Most of them will eventually be able to go home alive.

It was just early in the morning.

Yiyong stood on the edge of the rooftop at the top of the palace, fiddling with Fenghua Furuntao's chakra armor in his hand, as if waiting for something, until a painful intake of breath caught his attention.

Feng Hua Ang Tao woke up from his coma. Without his chakra armor, the biting cold wind that had never bothered him in the past had become something that caused him more pain than his broken arms.

He noticed that Yiyong turned to look at him, breathing heavily and shrinking back, only to hit something hard.

Feng Hua Furu Tao turned his head and was suddenly covered in ice - there were at least sixty or seventy snow ninjas lying on the platform, probably all of his subordinates in this building.

But immediately, he regained his composure and scanned all the snow ninjas who had fallen to the ground. When he found that there was no one he was looking for, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned back to face Giyuu, he found some of the daimyo's momentum.

"who are you?"

Feng Hua Furu Tao showed that he glanced at the chakra armor in Yiyong's hand, thoughtfully, and then shifted his gaze to the latter's face.

It’s frustrating to say.

I was just waiting for a few guests in the palace, when suddenly someone fell from the roof. Before he could punch out, or even see the opponent's face or sword clearly, his hands were cut off and he was knocked unconscious.

Now I finally see the "assassin's" face, but I find that he is shockingly young. This reminds Feng Hua Ragao of a not so comfortable past.

"you do not know me?"

Yiyong was a little surprised.

It's not because of his Uchiha pride, but because there are very few people in this world - especially the king of a country - who haven't seen his wanted notice.

It seems that the occlusion of the environment goes both ways - outsiders don't know what is happening in the Snow Country, and the Snow Country also knows very little about the outside world.

"I know you are a ninja from Konoha."

Feng Hua Nu Lao deflated his cod mouth and said, "You have the same eyes as that Hatake Kakashi."

"I'm not a ninja. He only has one eye like this, and the color is different." Giyuu corrected him seriously, "Have you seen Kakashi Hatake?"

"Hmph, if it weren't for that nosy bastard..." Fenghua gritted his teeth angrily, "Did that woman hire you Konoha to deal with me? You are so confident, and you only sent one kid... …”

"Woman?" Yiyong looked confused, not knowing what he was talking about. It seems that this poor daimyo still has some conflicts with Konoha.

However, seeing Yiyong's clueless reaction, Fenghua Furuntao's mood became calmer.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Yiyong could clearly see his heart rate changes and neurotransmitter secretion.

Yiyong leaned down and said, "Ever since you woke up, you seem to be more relaxed with every word you speak. You don't look like a person who is about to lose everything."

The exaggerated expression of Feng Hua Ang Tao froze on his face, and his heart beat like a "drum".

[What’s going on with this guy? Is it the problem with these eyes? Can he read my mind? 】

Although he was panicking, Feng Hua Nu Tao still said hard: "I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that since you didn't kill me, you must be useful to me, that's all."

As for the severed hand, it is nothing to the technologically advanced Snow Country. There are also many ninjas under him who have steel prosthetics.

Yiyong shook his head: "I don't need you. Your men have told me the specific locations where the workers are imprisoned, and I have sent shadow clones to deal with your minions left in those places. I have also notified those who are missing. The parents formed a voluntary militia, I think it won’t take long for someone to arrive here.”

Before Fenghua Furudao could speak again, Yiyong suddenly said: "When you heard that I sent a shadow clone out, your heart beat faster again. This shows that the weaker I am, the more I meet your expectations."

"...what exactly are you..."

Feng Hua Nu Tao swallowed. It was hard to describe the feeling of being completely seen through. It was like having a layer of skin peeled off in public.

"You expected that someone else would come to deal with me." Yiyong judged: "And you think he will definitely be able to defeat me, right?"

"Hmph, he is indeed a genius cultivated by the Great Ninja Village. Now that you have figured it out, I will tell you."

Feng Hua Nu Tao gritted his teeth, "Although I am the leader of the snow ninja, I am not the strongest ninja in this country..."

Yiyong nodded in agreement: "I see."

"...When that Hatake Kakashi came here, he was a little older than you, and he could easily subdue a half-baked ninja like me, as well as the losers behind me."

Fenghua Furuntao said, looking over Yiyong's shoulders, "But when he faced the avalanche of wolf teeth under my men, he could only run away with his head in his arms!"

Giyuu could tell that Fenghua Furumao was not bragging, but really believed that the "Spike Avalanche" could easily deal with Hatake Kakashi ten years ago.

[Is this an enemy that needs to be treated with more than half the strength? 】

Giyuu has secretly adjusted the opponent to be on the same level as Hatake Kakashi.

"Then where is he now?" Yiyong asked.

"He has arrived."

Yiyong followed his line of sight and found a huge airship flying slowly from above the ice wall to the east of the palace.

[Is this the so-called palace in the sky? 】

He turned his Sharingan, and sure enough he saw a snow ninja with a long face and white clothes sticking his head out to look here, with a calm and calm expression on his face. Behind him, there seemed to be several figures standing in slightly bloated clothes.

Yiyong zoomed in, and then he discovered that behind Langya Xuebeng, there were three rock ninjas standing, whispering something to each other.

"Iwa Ninja?" Yiyong frowned.

"It's too late to see now."

The closer the airship got, the more confident Fenghua Furudao became, "He was not with me before because he had three Jonin from the Earth Kingdom to entertain. You took off my clothes in the wrong way while I was fainting. He took my armor, but accidentally set off the alarm signal connected to that airship! As long as he receives the signal, of course he will rush back regardless of the cost!"

"I heard that Iwa Ninja and Konoha have been at odds for many years, and now I see a Konoha ninja risking the world's disapproval and taking action against a great name of a country... Guess, will they easily let go of a target like you? ?”

The courage in Feng Hua Ragao finally swelled enough to support him to stand up.

"Escape now, you may still have a chance of survival."

He said with a victorious smile: "Don't make any mistakes, such as using me as a hostage. That will only slow down your escape!"

However, Giyuu wasn't listening to him at all.

[Is this incident still related to Iwa Ninja? 】

Although Iwa Ninja has signed a non-aggression agreement with Konoha, it has nothing to do with him, Giyuu Uchiha, a wanted criminal.

On the contrary, there is a serious blood feud between Iwa Ninja and Uchiha!

Giyuu had no doubt that the three Iwagakure jounin would definitely want to kill him.

[A character who can defeat Kakashi, and three powerful jonins. Such opponents cannot be spared. 】

The moment he made this decision, all the snowflakes within a 100-meter radius centered on Yiyong froze in the air.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes locked on the airship diagonally above him, calculating the approximate distance, intending to destroy the "palace in the sky" with one blow.

"Breath of Wind·One Type..."

Yiyong stepped back with his left leg and held the handle of the knife with his right hand. The rich blue air ball continued to roll from under his body in all directions. As soon as he launched an attack, the accumulated energy would send him into the sky!

"cut--"

"Wait a minute! Don't do anything yet!"

An unexpected shout came from the airship, and then he saw a long package being thrown from the airship.

Giyu turned his Sharingan and saw clearly that the person wrapped in a ball of yellow mud was not the Wolf Fang Avalanche just now.

In order to prevent the opponent from being thrown to death, Yiyong raised his hand, and the green air mass gathered around his body immediately rose into the air, giving him a buffer before falling to the ground.

Of course, Yiyong did not forget the broken hand package.

"avalanche?!"

Feng Hua Furu Tao looked at his men on the ground, then at the airship and Yiyong in the sky, and was suddenly shocked, "Are you in the same group?" However, the three rock ninjas who were still flying in the sky were explaining loudly to another person. :

"Uchiha Giyu! No matter what you find in the Land of Snow, it has nothing to do with us! We are here this time to discuss the construction of the railway between the two countries and the purchase of mining machinery according to the order of the daimyo. Everything else is the same as We have nothing to do with it!”

The airship was suspended in mid-air and no longer descending, but the nervousness and panic of the speaker could be heard by the people below.

"We have no hostility towards you, and please don't attack us!"

"..." Glancing at the astonished Feng Hua Ragao, Yiyong frowned and said, "Come down."

The three people on the airship looked at each other and seemed to be discussing something, but they quickly came to a conclusion.

"Land! Land!"

One of the Iwa nin shouted in the direction of the cockpit: "Be gentle, don't make it look like we are going to launch an attack on him!"

Just like that, five minutes later, the airship finally landed on the rooftop of the palace.

The three Iwa nin jumped out of the cabin with their hands raised, showing that they had no weapons and no dangerous ninjutsu prepared.

Although the posture is a bit humiliating, Iwa Ninja Village’s policy this year has been made very clear——

No conflict of any kind with Uchiha Giyuu is allowed.

If you encounter the opponent during the mission, you can give up the mission directly.

The person who received this kind of treatment last time was called Namikaze Minato.

"We have no animosity toward you."

The eldest ninja among the three emphasized again, "No matter what these snow ninjas are studying, it has nothing to do with us."

"It's a lie that there is no hostility." Yiyong's words almost stopped the hearts of three people. "The following words are true."

The three of them exchanged glances with each other and breathed a sigh of relief as if they had escaped.

Iwa Ninja's resentment towards Uchiha, especially Uchiha Shisui, has not weakened for a day. Even if it was later confirmed that the matter was a trap set by Danzo, people died on Uchiha Shisui after all.

But it was difficult for the people in the village to unify their attitude towards Uchiha Giyu.

Especially that year, thirty Iwa ninjas and thirty Kumo ninjas went to destroy other people's shrines. As a result, all the Kumo ninjas died and the Iwa ninjas were only injured. This made many people - especially the families and friends of the injured, I felt a little grateful to Uchiha Giyuu.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, you can leave." After Yiyong confirmed that the three of them were not lying, he stopped paying attention to them.

"Okay." The three Iwa Ninja Jonin were overjoyed, and after saying that, they were about to leave this place of right and wrong.

"Wait a minute!" Fenghua Furudao couldn't believe it. "According to the convention of the ninja world, if the safety of a daimyo's life is threatened, you ninjas from a great country are obliged to protect me!"

This is real.

Daimyos are absolutely special existences in the ninja world, especially those from the five major countries.

For example, even if the Iwa Ninja Village beat the Cloud Ninja Village to near extinction, once the lives of the daimyo of the Iwa Ninja Village are in danger, if the ninjas of the Cloud Ninja Village are around, they must step forward to provide necessary assistance.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing Yoshiyuki's eyes suddenly glanced over, the ninja headed by Iwa Ninja Village quickly emphasized: "Except for the daimyo of the five major countries, the rest of the daimyo who want to be protected by this convention must pay a fee! When your brother Fenghua Hayuki became a daimyo, he I paid the fee, but what does that have to do with you?”

"..." Feng Hua Nu Tao opened his mouth. If he could afford the money, would he still need to kidnap workers to work for him?

Seeing that the three people were about to leave again, he was completely desperate and roared loudly: "If you help me kill him, I am willing to hand over the secret weapon designed by the previous daimyo to the Kingdom of Earth! As long as I have that thing, Can immediately gain combat power superior to the five major nations (original words from the theatrical version of the movie)!"

"It's a joke. Are you still like this?"

"It's just that I haven't gotten the key yet!" Feng Hua Nu Tao quickly explained: "You have also heard that before my brother died, he left a treasure that could change the world. It was for that thing that he They spent all the country’s assets and left me with nothing…”

Giyuu could see that Fenghua Furantao seemed to believe in this, just like he believed that the Wolf Fang Avalanche could defeat Kakashi.

But considering the lack of information about the Kingdom of Snow, and considering that the Kingdom of Rain, which had no information but accepted the title of Hanzo Demigod, Yiyong still asked specifically: "What is the combat power that can surpass the five major countries... What level of power is it?”

The three Iwa ninjas who had walked out several meters stopped, obviously slightly interested.

"of course……"

Feng Hua Furu Tao first glanced at the airship, then looked down at his palace, and finally gritted his teeth and pointed at the glacier surrounding the palace, "It is the power that can at least destroy that iceberg with one blow!"

"If it's to this extent..."

The youngest of the Iwa ninja scratched his head, "The three of us can do it together. Don't you have a correct concept of the fighting power of ninjas?"

"No... concept?"

Seeing the sarcasm on the faces of the three rock ninjas getting thicker and thicker, Feng Hua Nu Tao felt that his heart had been hollowed out. He knelt down with a plop like a criminal exposed by Conan.

"No idea..."

Just when the wind and flowers were doubting life, the elderly ninja who had reached the edge of the rooftop suddenly stopped and came back as if he had remembered something.

"Uchiha Giyuu."

"Anything else?"

Yiyong asked in confusion.

"It's like this. Lord Onoki would like to invite you to Iwa Ninja Village to participate in this year's Chunin Exam."

The older ninja said: "He sent someone to Konoha to deliver a letter before, but your father said that you haven't been home for at least two years, and he doesn't know where you are, so the matter was left alone. Since we happened to meet him today You, I just conveyed it to you."

"Chunin exam?" Giyuu didn't understand, "But I'm not a ninja."

The three Iwa ninja fell silent at the same time.

After a long time, the older ninja explained: "Sandaime-sama means that you are not asked to participate in this Chunin exam as a candidate, but as an examiner."

"Why is this?" Yiyong knows nothing about politics and has not figured out Ohnoki's motives. "You want to trick me in, surround me and kill me?"

"There is no such idea at all."

The consequences of surrounding and killing Uchiha Shisui last time were still vivid in his mind. The older jounin quickly explained, "You may not have been home for a long time, so I don't know that your brother is among the candidates on the list this time." …”

"elder brother."

【real or fake? 】

"...There is your brother Uchiha Sasuke, he is the only Uchiha candidate in this class.

"You should understand the grudges between Iwa Ninja and Uchiha. Iwa Ninja Village has a large population. Even if we strictly restrain our subordinates, we cannot ensure that everyone can behave according to the rules."

The jounin said cautiously: "In addition, even if we can restrain all the rock ninjas from targeting your brother, we cannot guarantee that other countries, such as..."

He pointed to the northeast, meaning Kumo Ninja, "Will you deliberately hurt Uchiha Sasuke to intensify the conflict between us? Therefore, Lord Tsuchikage's idea is that if someone like you is the examiner, Hikari The reputation is probably enough to deter most people from taking any rash action.”

When the matter involved Sasuke, Yiyong knew that he might not be able to stay out of it.

Although he knew the answer, Giyuu still asked: "Why not just cancel Sasuke's qualification for the exam? Aren't the Chunin exams twice a year?"

"As the organizer, we are not qualified to do this unless we catch Uchiha Sasuke breaking the rules in our examination room."

The elder Jonin smiled bitterly, "We also sent people to contact Konoha before, hoping that they would disqualify Uchiha Sasuke from taking the exam to avoid complications, but your father thought it was deliberately targeted, so he refused.

"He also said harsh words like, 'Sasuke is not worthy of being his son if he can't even overcome such dangers.' That's why Tsuchikage-sama was prepared to ask you to take the exam."

"I understand." Yiyong nodded, "I will consider it."

Apart from Orochimaru, there is one more reason to return to the Land of Fire.

"The words have been brought, let's take our leave." After saying that, the three of them left as if they were running away.

On the other side, Feng Hua Ragao seemed to be disillusioned because of the disillusionment of his dream, and he collapsed on the ground motionless. Yiyong, on the other hand, was staring at the corridor connecting the palace under the iceberg opposite, while practicing the last of the five basic breathing techniques - Breathing of Thunder.

However, after about half an hour, Yiyong's shoulders gradually relaxed and his head lowered - he fell asleep.

Ever since the Three-Tails' chakra returned to its full state, a large amount of chakra would leak out every day. If Giyuu couldn't use this leaked part, he would inevitably become a little sleepy.

Although Giyu rarely sleeps for a full night, the amount of time he spends "taking a nap" due to Mitsuo every day adds up to six or seven hours.

Yiyong fell into a deep sleep, but Feng Hua Furu Tao suddenly thought about it - he saw Yiyong sitting on the edge of the platform and fell into a deep sleep, and moved his body and slowly crawled over.

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was purple. He had never imagined that this brat who fell from the ceiling would destroy all his ten years of hard work and shatter his innocent illusions.

Although the chance of a person who has practiced chakra to fall to death is extremely small, since the other party is sleeping so deeply...

【Why not give it a try? 】

The wind and waves were getting closer and closer to Yiyong like wriggling maggots, but just as he put his upper body within one meter of Yiyong, a dark gray, cactus-like illusory tail grew out from Yiyong's back, and then like It smashed down like a crooked tower, accurately breaking Feng Hua Nu Tao's two calves!

【roll! 】

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out in his mind, frightening Feng Hua Furao to the point where he couldn't even make a sound, "Don't disturb his rest!" 】

Without the protection of chakra armor, the tailed beast's mental shock caused Fenghua Furuma to faint directly, and Giyuu also got a peaceful sleep for more than two hours.

Until he was woken up by the Snow Country militiamen who came from the surrounding area.

By then, it was already dawn.

"Has everyone gone home?" In fact, there was no need to ask. Those self-released shadow clones immediately gave Yiyong the answer he wanted.

It's just that these clones also want him to have a good sleep, so they don't automatically lift it until he wakes up.

Of the 260 people arrested for hard labor, 248 have returned home, while the remaining 12 died due to factors such as diet, intensity of work, and excessive punishment.

Although there were dead people, for Giyuu, the number was right and no one was truly "missing", which meant that this place was not affected by Orochimaru after all.

"The matter has been settled," he stood up and said to the militiamen of the Kingdom of Snow, a group of old men who had lost their sons and daughters, "It's time for me to leave."

He still spoke harshly and coldly, but these old people who had recovered their children didn't care.

"Isn't the enemy you are looking for here?" The leader of the militiamen was an old man wearing glasses and looked gentle.

"Not here." Yiyong shook his head, "It would be better not to be there. If it were him, it would be a luxury to get half of the people back."

"Has the next stop been determined?"

"Yeah." Yiyong recalled the marks on the map. Next, he would follow the missing incident marks and investigate them one by one in the order of the Land of Snow, the Land of Stone, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Grass. The final destination is In the land of fire.

At that time, he should take advantage of the opportunity to go back home and persuade Sasuke to participate in the Chunin Examination held in Konoha next time. By the way, he would conduct a search in the most dangerous place for Orochimaru - around Konoha.

“No matter where you choose to go, as long as it’s another country, you’ll definitely have to climb those towering mountains.”

"Yes." Yiyong estimated that at this speed and the investigation along the way, it would take about twenty days for him to return to the Land of Fire.

"In this case, please accept this as a thank you gift."

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed. Yiyong looked along the direction of his arm and found that what he was pointing at was the "palace in the sky."

"That thing was designed by the old man and his predecessor, Hayayuki-sama, the former daimyo. It is powered by special fuel and controlled by the ninja's chakra. As long as it is not those ridiculously high mountains, it should be able to easily cross them. With it , you should be able to avoid many unnecessary mistakes along the way..."

Much more than that.

Yiyong understood that with this thing, he could walk in a straight line regardless of the terrain.

"This thing should be very precious to you." Yiyong shook his head, "The wind and waves have used up all the savings in this country. If you sell it to the daimyo of other countries..."

"We can still make it again. Besides, if the famous names in other countries knew that this thing was used by people like Fenghua Furudao, how could they be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. But to you, this thing is equivalent to a trophy. Please don’t refuse.”

The old man laughed: "While you were asleep, I had already sent people to fill the cabin with spare fuel. If the fuel runs out in the future, you can just come back and replenish it. Of course, by then, we will have to charge ”

"Then I'll accept it." Yiyong no longer hesitated.

The three countries of Snow, Stone, and Bird are all plateaus and mountainous areas. If he could fly in a straight line, he might be able to save half the time.

"Finally, we have a merciless request."

"Please say."

"You said before that you are from the Country of Fire, could you please help me with a message..."

"What words, to whom?"

"The producer of the movie "The Adventures of Princess Storm", his name is San Taifu, he is a bad old man about the same age as me."

The old man begged earnestly: "You just need to tell him what happened here."

["Princess of the Storm", isn't that Sasuke's favorite series of movies? 】

Giyuu was somewhat familiar with this name, not only because of Sasuke, but also because his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, resigned from Konoha and became the special effects artist and action director of that crew...

[It seems that the Kingdom of Fire...]

"I have to go back no matter what."

At the same time, at the gate of Yuyin Village, Immortal Kawa Genya was ready to set off.

"Senior Shinobi, if we leave, then the case of the missing hunter from the Land of Fire..."

"When Anjuro comes back, I will go there myself."

The Butterfly Ninja looked at the increasingly brightening sky in the east, "I happen to have some books to buy. Maybe I can refer to them when I compile the textbook."

　It’s a day when I’m jet lagged, my brain is not right, and I don’t want to know what I’m writing…

　　(End of this chapter)
