Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

Upon hearing the boy's words, Quan's body trembled slightly. He slowly opened his eyes and forced himself to look at the headless corpse and the unseeing head of Feng Hua Nu Tao.

“Xuan Yue, I, I understand.”

"Very good, our Izumi is the bravest." Shimura Gengetsu held Izumi's little hand, giving her strength.

At the same time, he decided that when he returned, he would take Quan to take on some bandit missions to toughen her up.

It took several days for Kazaka Hayate to quell the aftermath of the rebellion and send people to appease the other ninjas of Yukigami Village, assuring them that she would not pursue the matter.

As for the reconstruction of Feng Hua City, that will take some time and cannot be completed in the short term.

Once everything was settled, Fuuka Hayase revealed the purpose of the crystal she had given to Fuuka Koyuki.

Xuan Yue and the others were also invited to watch.

The group left the city and followed a path into a valley.

"here it is..."

"This was Xiaoxue's favorite place when she was little," Fuka Sakiyuki said with a smile. "Do you remember?"

“Hmm.” Feng Hua Xiaoxue nodded. “But we didn’t have these things before.”

Several massive ice walls enclosed a strange device.

"Come on, Xiaoxue, put that pendant inside, and then... your dream will come true."

Guided by Fuuka Shoyuki, Fuuka Koyuki placed the hexagonal crystal into the groove.

The mechanism was activated, and the surrounding ice walls emitted a rainbow of light.

Gengetsu Shimura reached out and conjured a Rasengan in his hand. Seven-colored light fell on it, making the colors of the chakra incredibly dazzling.

“So beautiful…” Fuuka Koyuki ran over and looked at Shimura Gengetsu’s hands.

"The most beautiful ones are yet to come."

Feeling that her limelight had been stolen, Kazama Sayuki quickly said.

The device here is a super-large geothermal generator. When the device is activated, the energy contained within it is converted into heat energy, and then the temperature begins to rise.

The perennial snow began to melt, revealing the flowers, plants, and trees that had been hidden inside.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Izumi Loli covered her mouth.

"This is... spring in the Land of Snow?" Fuuka Koyuki clapped her hands happily. "Father, spring has come to the Land of Snow too!"

“That’s right.” Kazama Shoyuki was also moved to tears, looking at the results he had achieved after spending countless efforts and money.

"Although it's brief and will take five years to fully recharge, this is the spring of our Snow Country!"

"Xiaoxue, your dream has come true."

"Thank you, Father!" Both father and daughter smiled through their tears.

However... an untimely remark suddenly drifted into their ears.

"So...you spent countless sums of money, cut funding for the Snow Village, and triggered a rebellion that nearly destroyed the country, all so that you could see green fields and lawns for a few days every five years?"

The wind and snow, which had been immersed in the beautiful scenery before her, instantly came to their senses.

After Shimura Gengetsu said that... he suddenly felt that the scenery wasn't beautiful at all...

The smile on Feng Hua Xiaoxue's face gradually disappeared, and then she burst into loud sobs.

"woo woo woo woo!"

"It's all my fault! Father, I don't want spring in the Land of Snow anymore!"

Chapter 91 Returning to the Village, Kakashi's Reverse Thunder God

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

What was originally a scene of a father chasing away his daughter to help her fulfill her wish turned into a ceremony of apologies after being provoked by someone.

Even after returning to the palace, Fuka Shoyuki and Fuka Koyuki were still reflecting on their mistakes. Seeing the little girl crying, Shimura Gengetsu was also annoyed and made an excuse to slip away.

However, in the evening, he was summoned by Feng Hua Zaoxue again.

There were only the two of them in the main hall this time, without even a single guard.

Feng Hua Zao Xue prepared a large box containing dozens of scrolls.

"Your Excellency Xuan Yue, this is all the information on the Chakra Armor, but..."

A hint of difficulty appeared on his face. "Three years ago, I stopped the research on chakra armor and sealed these materials, but the armor worn by Feng Hua Nu Tao and Lang Ya Xue Beng clearly exceeds the level described in the materials."

"So... Your Excellency Xuan Yue, I would like to ask you for two favors."

"You speak first."

Gengetsu Shimura did not immediately agree.

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the usually refined and elegant Kazahana Saya: "I would like to issue you another S-rank mission: to kill all the remaining Snow Ninjas."

It's normal for a monarch to make mistakes sometimes, but he will never lack ruthlessness in his bones.

The fact that she sent Feng Hua Nu Tao away without hesitation shows that Feng Hua Zao Xue is competent in this regard.

The previous attitude of not holding the Snow Ninjas accountable was only because there were too many things to deal with after the disaster, and it was just to stabilize them first. How could Kazaka Sayayuki allow that group of rebels to continue living?

“I agree to that.” Shimura Gengetsu nodded. “I’ve also taken the latest information from there.”

"of course."

Feng Hua Zao Xue solemnly said, "Those are Lord Xuan Yue's spoils of war, so they can be disposed of as they please."

"And the second thing I want to ask of you... is that you try to keep the origin of the chakra armor a secret, at least so that other great nations don't know that it was developed by the Land of Snow."

The voice of "Wind, Flowers, Early Snow" carried a hint of pleading.

If the chakra armor is exposed, this country will never have peace again.

"Well, I'll try my best."

Neither of these conditions was excessive, so Shimura Gengetsu agreed.

As for the chakra armor

He never intended to pass it on to outsiders, but rather to take it back to Root for research and to distribute it to Root's teams. After all, these were his own people, and he wasn't planning to wear it himself.

This thing is useless in battles between strong individuals; its flaws are too great.

It only increases attack and defense, without changing basic speed and strength. Against a taijutsu master like the Raikage, or even against a ninjutsu user like Hiruzen Sarutobi who has mastered chakra nature transformation to the extreme, wearing this thing will only add to your burden.

"Then I'll leave it to Lord Xuan Yue."

Feng Huazaoxue revealed a relieved smile. With Xuan Yue's promise, he no longer had to live in fear.

Returning to his lodgings with a large box of documents, Shimura Gengetsu quickly flipped through them and roughly understood the operating principle of the Chakra Armor.

It mainly utilizes a type of chakra metal.

Chakra metals are a general term for metals with good chakra conduction properties, but this does not mean that all of them have the same properties.

For example, the lightning meteorite that Kumogakure compensated Konoha was a chakra metal with a lightning attribute.

A few years ago, the Land of Snow discovered a chakra metal vein, which produces chakra metal that can absorb and store chakra.

The Snow Village then developed a chakra armor, which enhances ninjutsu defense through its absorption properties and stores chakra, allowing users to charge it in advance and use it at any time during battle.

The principle seems simple, but the difficulty lies in the linkage between the stored chakra and the ninja's real-time extraction. It also requires a high level of chakra control from the ninja and extensive training to master.

Gengetsu Shimura felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement in this thing.

Although the technology of the Land of Snow is not bad, its research foundation in ninjutsu is still quite weak.

the next day.

Shimura Gengetsu went to Yukinin Village as promised to Kazeka Saya.

One person goes in, one person comes out, and no one will ever come out of here again.

Before that, Feng Hua Nu Tao had already brought out most of the elites, and the strongest in the village were only a few Chunin.

In the ninja world, there is no right or wrong, only positions.

They chose the wrong side, and they have no one to blame but themselves for their predicament.

After the last Snow Ninja was defeated, the system issued a notification.

[The host has reached the highest level of bond with the Snow Village. There will be no more Snow Villagers in the future. Reward: 1,000 Bond Points]

Any surprises?

Gengetsu Shimura raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't seem to care too much.

A thousand points is nothing compared to his gains this time.

With such a major event as the rebellion, Feng Hua Xiao Xue's travel plans across the continent were naturally forced to stop. She would stay in the Snow Kingdom for quite some time, accompanying her father to appease the people.

Therefore, Shimura Gengetsu and the others have completed their mission.

"Lord Gengetsu, can't you stay in the Land of Snow a little longer?" Kazahana Koyuki was reluctant to see Shimura Gengetsu leave, as were her little friend Uchiha Izumi and her gentle older sister Uzuki Yugao.

"Xiaoxue, Lord Xuanyue still has matters to attend to upon returning to Konoha."
