It was only a fleeting shift of gaze; looking at him again,

The burly body had collapsed and curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp, and his face, covered in cold sweat, was almost contorted into a ferocious expression!

When exactly was the ambush carried out?

A tremendous question roared in the mind of the Snow Ninja leader, Wolf Fang Avalanche, as he asked himself!

However, this self-reflection and introspection was quickly shattered by the piercing screams of his companions.

"Stop using chakra!"

Seeing the cyst had grown even larger, he became alarmed.

Judging from the unusual phenomenon and the words spoken by the other party, that thing was clearly related to chakra.

And this warning wasn't just directed at the freezing rain, but also at the snowstorm beside her.

After all, the fact that Touka was ambushed without her noticing suggests that there might be similar foreshadowing within herself and Fubuki as well.

"I apologize for our rudeness earlier."

"Here, I apologize on their behalf."

Wolf Fang Avalanche promptly bowed and apologized, because for them, dignity was utterly insignificant compared to their lives!

however,

Such an attitude did not earn them forgiveness, and the mockery in the hall grew even louder.

However, faced with such blatant sarcasm, the remaining two Snow Ninja could only grit their teeth in silence.

'Pah, pah, pah.'

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a calm and unhurried round of applause suddenly rang out.

It is the raging storm that comes from the throne.

Hired ninjas are always just hired ninjas; they're a group of guys who are used once and then go their separate ways.

However, these snow ninjas were indeed his own followers.

He felt a pang of heartache at the loss of each one.

"As expected of a ninja known as the Hunting Ninja."

"This was my subordinate's fault, and he has now received the punishment he deserves. Let's just let this matter go."

"Of course, I will add an extra layer to the employment fee as medical expenses for this incident."

Feng Hua Nu Tao spoke calmly, soothing the discontent of the hired ninjas while also winning over the hearts of his own people.

In any case, once he defeats the returning Kazeka Koyuki and obtains the key from her, he will gain the greatest wealth in the entire Snow Kingdom.

By then, the small amount of hiring costs lost now will be negligible.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, both the Snow Ninja and the Bounty Hunter showed some emotion.

"Lord Nutao, your subordinate is useless."

The sound of the Wolf Fang Avalanche was ashamed.

"Since the employer has said so,"

"If we continue to argue about this, it would be beneath our dignity."

As they were talking, one of the five suddenly disappeared from his spot. When he was caught again, he was already beside the fallen Winter Bear Frozen Rain. Moreover, the way he appeared was extremely strange. He actually emerged from the shadow of the former!

This is undoubtedly another subtle way for them to showcase their abilities to their employers.

However, Feng Hua Nu Tao didn't care. Instead, he leisurely swirled the wine glass in his hand, as long as he could get the key from Feng Hua Xiao Xue.

The Xuanyuan Clan are a group of bounty hunters who specialize in hunting ninjas.

[With only one failure out of over a hundred hiring operations,]

No, it cannot be described entirely as a defeat; it was due to unforeseen circumstances that forced its termination.

As for the guy who managed to escape from their grasp, he was none other than the current Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, A!

Therefore,

Don't disappoint me!

Feng Hua Nu Tao, who had been squinting, withdrew his gaze and downed the sweet wine in his cup in one gulp.

........

"Okay, click,"

"As expected of Yukie, she passed on the first try!"

"Perfectly wrapped up! Now all that's left is filming in the Snow Country!"

On the merchant ship, the director, wearing a gray beret, spoke excitedly.

This is truly the actress he has ever seen who gets into character the fastest and most perfectly. Of course, when she no longer needs eye drops when filming crying scenes, then she will be truly flawless.

Of course, not only was the filming of the movie progressing smoothly, but the entire journey itself was also going very smoothly.

Not only was the journey from Konoha to the eastern port of the Land of Fire incredibly peaceful, but the long sea voyage was also unusually quiet, giving one the wonderful illusion that it could be easily completed.

Huang stood alone on the ship's side. Even though the sea breeze around him became increasingly biting as he traveled north, he still looked like he was dressed in a thin long-sleeved shirt, typical of early autumn.

"It's right in front."

As a dark shadow began to appear in his field of vision, a hesitant whisper reached his ears.

Without turning around, Huang knew who it was.

However, she clearly lacked the composure and ease she displayed while filming.

The closer I get to home, the more timid I become.

But for Feng Hua Xiaoxue, an even greater terror awaited her.

Well, let's add a premise: this happened before I met the boy.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

As the continent became clearer in his field of vision, Huang finally spoke, making the same promise he had made dozens of days earlier.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, the woman who appeared poised and elegant on screen seemed momentarily dazed and adopted the demeanor of a little girl.

She raised her slender fingers and gently gathered the strands of hair that had been ruffled by the wind.

"correct,"

"Those traitors, do you want them alive or dead?"

With the port in sight, the merchant ships slowed down.

"Eh?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue seemed unable to fully understand the question at that moment.

After all, the word "death" is too abrupt and also somewhat distant from her current situation.

"Well, I'll see what I think."

However, just as he was about to answer the question, the boy beside him had vanished without a trace, leaving only a final word of comfort:

"Peace of mind,"

"It's just going home."

Chapter 283 Standing behind me? Commendable courage.

"Here you are, boss."

Winter Bear Frozen Rain put down his binoculars and turned his face to speak, but the corner of his eye was still fixed on a certain obscure and inconspicuous corner.

After three days of rest, his injuries had fully healed, and he would have no problem engaging in a full-blown, hand-to-hand combat.

However, the fact that the injury has healed does not mean that the humiliation and hatred can be easily erased.

"Then let's say goodbye to the little snow princess from our hometown and enjoy the warmth from our homeland."

Wolf Fang Avalanche, with his samurai-style hair tied up, crossed his arms over his chest, a ferocious smile on his lips.

"Of course, once we've dealt with the little princess, we'll help you settle that score."

At the same time, he noticed the subtle hostility on his companion's face and took the opportunity to lower his voice and add.

After all, this slap wasn't just on the face of his underling, but also on the face of the Snow Ninja!

How can we ever hold our heads high in front of that lord again?

Of course, the most important thing is that, with these three days of buffer time, he has figured out exactly where the problem originated.

【Exploding Bug】: A special type of Gu worm about the size of bacteria. It only grows rapidly and self-destructs after consuming human chakra.

It cannot be seen directly with the naked eye.

It's no wonder they fell for it.

However, things change after such useful information is gathered; gas masks can perfectly solve this hidden danger.

Furthermore, the Wolf Fang Avalanche's understanding goes beyond just the issue of insects.

Aside from the strange insect controller and the guy who was good at using shadows to launch surprise attacks, he also figured out the abilities of the other three: they were respectively skilled in using earth-style, fire-style, and water-style ninjutsu.

After obtaining these crucial pieces of information, there is nothing to fear.

It's important to understand that the abilities of the Snow Country's chakra armor haven't been fully revealed yet; all they need to do next is play the role of the last mantis stalking the crow.

But at this moment,

"Boss, something's not right. The merchant ship that Feng Hua Xiaoxue is on is anchored near the port, and it doesn't seem to have any intention of docking!"

Crane Wing Fubuki, who was constantly monitoring the target's movements, suddenly let out a low cry.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wolf Fang Avalanche abruptly snapped out of his post-mission-achievement reverie, and as he pulled his arms away from his chest, he instantly snatched the binoculars from Winter Bear Frozen Rain's hands.
