I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Moreover, these are two opposing yet complementary lines of questioning that bastard, one from Xiao Nan's perspective.

After all, he never expected that these two people, who harbored deep hatred for the world, could directly trust him. Maintaining distance and influencing them subtly was the best approach.

After giving a brief response, Huang turned and walked out of the cave.

But when he reached the cave entrance, he quietly stopped, and sunlight fell on his shoulder.

"I will have my men return the remaining five bodies."

Upon hearing this, Nagato did not respond or make any move, not even lifting his head or raising his eyelids.

For him, the other Paynes are not important; given time, he can naturally recreate new Overlords.

The only thing that matters is the Way of Heaven.

Only Yahiko.

Huang showed no displeasure at the silence, and simply continued speaking:

"Hey, before you came to this land, to this country, did you know anything about this place? Did you know anything about this country's past?"

【? 】

What does "he/she" mean?

The boy's nonsensical question slightly opened a crack in Nagato's complicated and closed-off state of mind.

He remained silent, but slightly raised his withered cheeks, and for some reason, the question came to mind.

【Land of Snow】: A remote overseas country where snow falls all year round, and the entire country is covered in white snow, hence the name.

They don't have their own ninja village, but they do have a few scattered ninjas. They are called Snow Ninjas by the locals, taking the name of the country from their own.

The daimyo who rules this small country is the Fuuka clan. However, ten years ago, the previous ruler was murdered by his younger brother, who then ascended to the throne by stepping over the former's corpse.

During this decade, the wise men in this small country never gave up on restoring their former masters, but they were simply too weak to prevail.

Uchiha Ara's real mission on this trip should be to help the wandering Fuuka Koyuki achieve her long-cherished wish of restoring her country.

Nagato didn't know why she had read this message out of her mind.

Is it because this information pertains to the location of the mission that I remember it so clearly?

Or is it because this small country is somewhat similar to his homeland?

It suffers from internal strife and is covered in snow year-round.

The internal strife continues, and the rain never stops.

"If you'd like, come and take a look..."

The boy's voice rang in my ears again.

【look?】

What are you looking at?

Is it snowing?

This time, Nagato couldn't suppress his doubts and peered forward with his gaze.

But when his gaze fell upon the boy, he suddenly felt a little dazed and inexplicably uttered a single word:

“Mi........”

However, this call abruptly retreated from his lips, for he knew clearly that it was impossible!

But for some reason, the silhouette of the other person standing at the cave entrance began to overlap with the person in that person's memory.

The only difference is,

Yahiko stood amidst the chaotic rain curtain of the Land of Rain;

Huang, on the other hand, resides in the peaceful, warm land of the Snow Country.

"What are you looking at?"

Nagato forcibly calmed his restless heart and asked in an extremely calm voice.

"The treasure of the Snow Country,"

"The previous monarch, Feng Hua Zao Xue, left a treasure for this country before his death."

"Want to go and see it together?"

The boy's voice came.

These words, however, immediately stirred a strange sense of disgust in Nagato's heart.

The treasure of the Snow Country—is this what that guy is after?

But this thought had barely arisen in his mind when it was abruptly replaced by another:

Is that guy really that kind of person?

Is he the kind of person who covets the treasures of other factions?

No one could answer the question in Nagato's heart.

However, perhaps this guy named Uchiha Ara has already obtained an even greater treasure on this trip.

Silence returned to the cave.

A burnt-out campfire sat quietly beside the spot where the boy had once stood.

.........

"Welcome, Princess Snow!"

"Welcome, Your Highness Xiaoxue!"

"........."

A surging, respectful whisper echoed across the snowy field.

The faces of the old comrades who had been with Feng Hua and Zao Xue were filled with excitement, and many of the old friends who were over fifty years old watched the woman walk across the rainbow ice wall to the center with tears streaming down their faces.

The day has finally arrived.

They resonated with each other in their hearts.

Before long, the wind, flowers, and snow stopped in the central area constructed by the rainbow ice wall, where a special stone platform stood with hexagonal holes on its surface.

This is the place where the previous ruler of the Snow Country kept his treasure.

As for the key...

Feng Hua Xiaoxue raised her delicate hand, lowered her head slightly, and slowly untied the hexagonal amethyst necklace hanging behind her neck.

However, she did not insert the key immediately. Instead, she held it in her hands and stood there silently for a long time before slowly pushing the object containing so many memories into it.

In an instant, the ice wall covered by ice shimmered with a seven-colored light, and billowing white mist rose from the surrounding ground.

Huang and his followers stood on a hillside not far away, quietly watching everything. And not far from him, a young man with orange hair also stood quietly, watching.

This situation is quite strange; enemies who were just fighting fiercely are now quietly watching the same scenery.

Soon,

The mountains and rivers began to melt, the water flowed gently, and greenery appeared on the surface.

[Giant Geothermal Generator], this is the treasure left behind by Feng Hua Zao Xue, a treasure that allows the snow country, which is covered in snow all year round, to have spring.

"A legend circulates in the Land of Snow: if the rainbow ice wall shimmers with seven colors, the Land of Snow will welcome spring."

"Now that the Land of Snow is already embracing spring, can't the Land of Rain wait for the sun to shine again?"

Suddenly, a soft murmur reached Pain's ears and entered Nagato's heart, who was still in the dark cave.

He didn't speak, but the surroundings seemed to become even quieter.

at the same time,

The woman standing on the rainbow ice wall suddenly cupped her hands in a trumpet shape and placed them near her mouth:

"Ara-kun,"

Would you like to stay in the Land of Snow?

"This place will be your strongest support, absolutely!"

In my name.

Chapter 299 I've come to see you, Shirley.

Young man, what brings you here alone? Where are your family?

"Young man, you can't go any further! That's a death trap ahead, where man-eating monsters roam!"

I understand, young man.

Are you here also for the legendary 'immortal flower'?

Yes, it's rumored to be able to cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life, but you should also be aware that such an ability inevitably carries the risk of death.

I understand. If your decision is made and you insist on going into the mountains,

[Then I can only offer you this final piece of advice: None of the humans who have ventured into Mount Shirakawa in search of the 'Flower of Immortality' have returned alive.]

Moreover, since four years ago, the strange occurrences within Mount Shirakawa have become increasingly severe.

Snow and ice are gradually covering the land at the foot of the mountain.

[It's likely that this village won't exist for long.]

"Thank you, I understand."

The other person seemed to have lived here since childhood and had a deep understanding and affection for the snow-capped mountains behind them, which is why they had not left like the other residents of the village.

Instead, it acts like a guardian of the mountain, constantly reminding every traveler not to go any further and not to be greedy for the desires that come with immortality.

"However, I'm not here to find the 'Eternal Flower'."

finished,

Huang bowed slightly to the white-haired old man who lived alone in the village.
