Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 194 The Princess Only Needs to Do Three Things

After settling things with the film crew, Naruto used Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu early the next morning to impersonate the entire film crew and set off for the Snow Capital once again.

This time, the journey went very smoothly, and the group quickly arrived at the Snow Capital. It seems that after suffering a loss once, and without figuring out the true strength of the ninjas around Kazeka Koyuki, Fuuka Nutō probably won't take action again.

Soon after arriving in the Snow Capital, the group quickly began a staged filming process.

The following day, after the entire crew finished their day's work, Fujikaze Yukie's manager, while treating the crew to a meal, drank too much and began to ramble incoherently:

"Did you know? The female lead in our movie is actually a princess!" Asama Santayu, his face flushed from drinking, downed his drink in one gulp and let out a burp before saying this.

"Really?" Sasuke, disguised as a production assistant using his transformation technique, asked curiously after refilling the other person's drink.

"Hiccup~ Of course it's true. Back then, I was a minister in our Land of Snow. The current daimyo of the Land of Snow only became daimyo through dirty palace coups. Compared to the former daimyo, this guy is far inferior!"

Asama Santayu kept banging on the table, and everyone in the restaurant's main hall was drawn to the noise he was making, turning their attention to him.

"This guest, please don't talk about state affairs! Please don't talk about state affairs!" The restaurant owner, seeing this, quickly came over and persuaded him to stop.

……

After the dinner, the words spoken by Asama Santayu in the restaurant quietly spread throughout the Snow Capital. Of course, Sasuke and Neji also played a part in this.

Before long, most of the common people in the Snow Kingdom had learned that their princess had returned.

This news greatly excited the vast majority of ordinary people in the Snow Country. Mainly because Feng Hua Nu Tao's policies over the years had been too cruel, causing the people of the Snow Country to suffer unspeakably. The appearance of Feng Hua Xiao Xue undoubtedly gave them a glimmer of hope.

Of course, this news also made Fuuka Nutō, who was in the palace, restless. He immediately sent one of his Jonin subordinates to assassinate Fuuka Koyuki.

However, this Jonin was no match for Shisui. Kazahana Koyuki didn't even know what had happened before the assassin was silently dealt with by Shisui.

The complete silence of his subordinates terrified Feng Hua Nutao. Last time, the annihilation of three Chunin and twenty-seven Genin could be explained by the fact that the enemy was relatively strong. But a Jonin, especially one who wore chakra armor and could use special ice release techniques, had also failed without even making a sound. This Jonin was not weak to begin with; with his chakra armor, he could even hold his own against the Jonin of the Five Great Nations. Even if he was no match for them, it was impossible for him to simply disappear without a trace.

And the only ones capable of doing this are probably the shadows of the five great nations.

Could it be that Kazama Koyuki managed to invite the Hokage over?

However, a few days later, Fujikaze Yukie, or rather, the princess in the eyes of the people of the Land of Snow, got into an argument with two boys wearing Konoha headbands in front of a hotel in the Snow Capital. Then, Asama Santayu appeared in public and said that the previous information was all fake news they had released to promote the movie "Princess of the Storm," and apologized for causing trouble to everyone.

Now, the Land of Snow became even more lively. Some commoners still wanted to believe that Fujikaze Yukie was their princess, while others mocked them, saying that people had already said it was a publicity stunt, yet they were still foolishly believing in the existence of a princess.

Upon learning of this news, Feng Hua Nu Tao within the palace was also filled with suspicion.

He was certain that Fujikaze Yukie was his niece Kazahana Koyuki, who had been rescued during the palace coup. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for her to be hunted down immediately after learning that she had come to the Land of Snow. But now she was denying it, and in addition, the information he had received mentioned that Kazahana Koyuki had argued with Konoha ninjas.

[Could it be that Kazahana Koyuki has fallen out with the ninjas of Konoha?] Kazahana Nutao was a little unsure and wanted to send a few more ninjas to test the waters, but after thinking it over again, he decided to wait and see for a while longer.

After all, in just a few days, a third of the ninja power he had painstakingly accumulated with his chakra armor had been lost. What if this was a trap?
However, while he was still hesitating, the next day, Feng Hua Xiaoxue arrived at the center of the most bustling commercial street in Snow City.

"This... what should I do?" Although it had been agreed that this step should be taken by Kazahana Koyuki herself to establish her reputation among the common people of the Snow Country, Kazahana Koyuki, who usually faces her fans as a big star, hesitated in front of the common people of the Snow Country. She did not know how to gain the trust of the people of the Snow Capital.

"You need to make them believe that you are the princess of the Land of Snow, and that you can lead them to a better life." At this moment, Sasuke, disguised as Koyuki's assistant, said calmly.

"Isn't it enough to just take out the hexagonal crystal to prove my identity?" Feng Hua Xiaoxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The hexagonal crystal, and even the treasure you'll open at Rainbow Glacier later, can only prove your identity as a princess. But if you want them to support you in overthrowing the Wind Flower Angry Wave, you have to make them believe that only by following you can they have a good life," Sasuke said.

"But I don't know how to say it," Feng Hua Xiaoxue said after hesitating for a long time.

"Never mind," Sasuke shook his head as he looked at Fuuka Koyuki's appearance. This woman was clearly not ready to become a daimyo. The reason she stood up earlier was more out of necessity.

[But this is for the best; fools are easier to control.] Sasuke thought to himself as he looked at the helpless Kazahana Koyuki.

bang~
A cloud of smoke exploded, and Sasuke transformed into Kazahana Koyuki using his Transformation Jutsu, then said:

"I'll only teach you once, so watch carefully and learn well." After Sasuke finished speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Kazahana Koyuki and said, "Hexagonal Crystal."

Kazakura Koyuki looked at the figure before her. Although his appearance was exactly the same as hers, his eyes held an undeniable authority. Faced with that gaze, Kazakura Koyuki was first taken aback, and then, as if possessed, she took off the necklace around her neck and handed it to Sasuke. "Sigh..." When she came to her senses, all Sasuke left her with was his back.

Sasuke, dressed as a snow-covered flower, arrived at the center of the shopping street. He took out a small flare from his pocket, lit it, and it exploded in mid-air in no time. The flare's noise quickly attracted the attention of the crowd on the street.

"Hello everyone, I'll take up a little of your time." Sasuke, disguised as Fuuka Koyuki, calmly chose a step and walked to the top.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Kazahana Koyuki. Of course, you might be more familiar with my other name, Fuji Kazahana Yukie." Sasuke, disguised as Kazahana Koyuki, had a smile on his face, looking confident and elegant.

"In the past few days, you may have all heard my name and know my identity. That's right, I am Kazeka Sayayuki, the only daughter of the former emperor of the Snow Country, who went missing during the palace coup ten years ago!"

"Some people may be wondering why I'm only coming back now!"

"My father once told me that what he loved to see most was the happy smiles on the faces of everyone in the Snow Country. But my uncle, Feng Hua Nutao, cruelly murdered my father and seized the position of Daimyo of the Snow Country. In just ten years, he turned the Snow Country into what it is today, where the people are suffering."

"By right, I should be the princess of the Snow Kingdom, but I have returned to the Snow Kingdom only to do three things!"

"Fair! Fair! Still fair!"

"I hope to bring this country, which my father poured countless efforts into, back on track! To bring back the happy smiles on everyone's faces."

"Your Highness!" A middle-aged man in the crowd seemed to be infected by Feng Hua Xiaoxue's emotions and shouted "Your Highness!" Then, more and more people joined in.

Hiding in the shadows, Kazahana Koyuki was almost dumbfounded. As a big star, she had experienced being surrounded by fans who shouted her name before, but the look in her fans' eyes when they surrounded her and shouted her stage name was completely different from the look in the eyes of the people cheering for Sasuke at this moment. Her fans only had fanaticism in their eyes when they surrounded her, but Kazahana Koyuki saw hope in the eyes of these people of the Land of Snow.

They genuinely hoped that Feng Hua Xiao Xue was a princess who could lead them out of their predicament.

The chaos in the commercial street quickly attracted the attention of the samurai responsible for maintaining order. However, faced with the ever-growing number of civilians from the Land of Snow, the samurai could only call for backup.

Not long after, a group of samurai from the Land of Snow arrived in a hurry. At this moment, Sasuke, disguised as Kazahana Koyuki, took the initiative to walk down the steps and walk towards the samurai who had come to disperse the crowd.

"You are warriors from our Land of Snow, right?" Sasuke asked softly.

However, before the other party could answer, Sasuke immediately continued, "Did you come here on the orders of that usurper, Fuuka Nata, to suppress the innocent people of the Land of Snow and then use my head, the princess's head, to curry favor with the usurper?"

Sasuke's aggressive aura quickly overwhelmed the leader of the samurai group. To bolster his courage, the samurai instinctively placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. However, upon seeing this, Sasuke straightened his chest and met the samurai's attack head-on.

"Go ahead and do it! Come on! Swing your swords at your princess!" Sasuke, disguised as Kazahana Koyuki, exuded an imposing aura that quickly intimidated the enemy while stirring up the emotions of the surrounding crowd. The common people of the Land of Snow spontaneously gathered around, gritting their teeth as they stared at the group of samurai, ready to fight to the death if the enemy dared to draw their swords.

"You... what makes you think you're a princess?!" The captain of the samurai group was also intimidated by the surrounding civilians. He gritted his teeth and questioned them.

"Good question!" Sasuke exclaimed, picking up the hexagonal crystal pendant, which glittered in the sunlight. He spoke calmly, "This is the most important token of our Land of Snow, and also the key to unlocking the treasure buried beneath the Rainbow Glacier! It was entrusted to me by my father, the King. Today, I will travel to the Rainbow Glacier and, with everyone as witnesses, unlock the treasure of our Land of Snow! This will be the first step in restoring order to our Land of Snow!"

After saying that, Sasuke, disguised as Kazeka Koyuki, strode forward. The samurai troops in front of him unconsciously split into two rows. Sasuke walked straight out from the middle without changing his expression, like a king inspecting his army.

"Don't just stand there, follow me. You'll have to open the treasure yourself later." Neji, who was hiding in the shadows, reminded Kazahana Koyuki, who was still dumbfounded, and signaled her to follow.

"How...how did he do that?" After regaining her senses, Fuuka Koyuki looked at Sasuke's back with a complicated expression.

“It’s not that difficult,” Neji explained. “The tyranny of Fuuka Nyutō in the Land of Snow over the years has already angered the people. At this time, as long as someone of sufficient stature can stand up, these commoners will see him as their hope. Even if you are a fake princess, in their eyes you are, and you can only be real.”

“Sasuke received the master’s true teachings, so it’s not a difficult thing for him to do this. Compared to the situation in the Land of Snow, the situation our master faced was truly hellish,” Neji said.

"Neji, you're saying a bit too much," Shisui, who was responsible for protecting Koyuki Kazahana, reminded her with a smile.

"Your teacher?" Feng Hua Xiaoxue asked curiously, but Zhishui quickly pulled her along and secretly followed the main group heading to Rainbow Glacier.

……

"What? How dare she! Those samurai actually plan to go to Rainbow Glacier with that woman?" In the Snow Kingdom's palace, Fuuhou Fuuhou was furious after learning about what had happened in the commercial district.

However, he also knew that he could no longer hesitate. Once Kazama Koyuki used the hexagonal crystal to open the treasure of the Land of Snow in front of everyone and confirmed her identity as a princess, then as long as she was willing to offer some conditions, the surrounding great ninja villages, especially the Land of Earth, would definitely be willing to help her solve her problem.

The only way to prevent all of this from happening is to kill the other party before they open the treasure, suppress those ignorant and unruly people, and then announce to the outside world that someone is trying to start a rebellion in the Snow Kingdom.
