Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 160 This is the difference between you and your brother

Asama Santayu was very efficient.

Early the next morning.

After crying yesterday, Feng Hua Xiaoxue felt much better, and with Lu Shi's promise, she was able to stabilize her mindset.

Asama Santayu organized all the Ice Release ninjutsu scrolls and the chakra armor technology left behind by Fuuka Angsou, and gave them to Shikatoki.

The deer were not idle either.

They circled the Land of Snow to make sure that Feng Hua Nu Tao and his group were not within its boundaries.

They then pretended to stay in the Land of Snow for a week.

Finally, he chose to leave the Land of Snow and return to Konoha.

Lu Shi left without making a big fuss, but he also did not deliberately conceal his movements.

And he carried the goods back to Konoha at a normal speed.

"Is Nara Shikamaru confirmed to have arrived in Konoha? Or is it a shadow clone?" Fuuka Nutō remained as cautious as ever.

Wolf Fang Avalanche was somewhat uncertain, "Probably."

"What do you mean by 'should be'?" Feng Hua Nu Tao asked, somewhat displeased.

"I couldn't sense any chakra fluctuations from Nara Shika, and I couldn't even sense his aura. I also couldn't determine whether it was his shadow clone. I just saw him carrying something into Konoha Village."

There's really nothing that can be done about Wolf Fang Avalanche.

Seeing the Nara deer is like seeing a ghost.

The person was right nearby, but I couldn't sense their presence at all.

Now that his own boss is blaming him, Wolf Fang Avalanche really wants to punch Wind Flower Raging Waves and make him go and monitor Nara Shikatoki himself.

Who knows how afraid he was of being discovered when he was monitoring the Nara deer all by himself?

It's easy for the wind, flowers, raging waves, and all that's happening here, sitting there talking without a care in the world.

"Then let's wait a little longer."

This wait lasted for a month.

Shika, who had already returned to Konoha, was speechless. He really hadn't expected Fuuka Nutō to be so patient.

Fortunately, Shikatoshi appeared in various places in Konoha Village multiple times over the course of more than a month, which put Fuuka Nutō at ease.

He returned to the Land of Snow with his men, once again to the place where he had killed his brother, Hayayuki Kazahana.

"Wind, flowers, and light snow, come out! Your uncle is here!"

The arrogant sounds of wind, waves, and roaring tides rang out.

Fuuka Koyuki trembled, but quickly recovered. She and Asama Santayu walked out and looked at the four people in front of them.

"You murderer!" Feng Hua Xiaoxue roared.

"hehe."

Instead of being angry, Feng Hua Nu Tao laughed. "I'm a murderer? No! This is just a change of ruler. Once I have complete control of the Snow Kingdom, future generations won't say I usurped the throne; they'll only say I'm the greatest ruler of the Snow Kingdom!"

"Bah! You think you're worthy?!" Asama Santayu shouted angrily. "You're not even worth a hair on Lord Hayayuki's head."

This statement directly hit Feng Hua Nu Tao's sore spot.

From childhood to adulthood, his older brother always had an advantage over him, and his father always favored him.

Despite being stronger, bringing snow ninja to protect the Land of Snow, and even researching and improving chakra armor, the position of ruler was ultimately given to Kazahana Hayayuki.

He was unwilling to accept it! Why should he?!

"Asama Santayu, you want to die? I'll grant your wish! Make your move! Kill everyone who sides with Kazahana Koyuki except for her!" Kazahana Noto grinned menacingly.

"yes!"

Just as the three began their operation.

Lu Shi suddenly appeared beside Feng Hua Xiaoxue, and black shadows quickly formed around them, creating the shadows of Langya Xuebeng and the other two.

"Hello everyone! It's really hard to meet you all!"

Lu made a joking remark.

Feng Hua Nu Tao's pupils contracted, and almost instinctively, he turned and ran.

Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the deer.

But how could Lu Shi give him that chance? He quickly closed in with a teleportation technique and sent Feng Hua Nu Tao flying with a flying kick.

The immense force shattered the chakra armor, and the raging waves crashed heavily onto the snow.

"Cough cough! Damn it!"

Fuuka Nutō's eyes were filled with resentment. "You guys grab Fuuka Koyuki, I'll hold off Nara Shikatoki."

Listening to Feng Hua Nu Tao's words, Shika Toki was speechless. "You seem to know a little about me, but not much. Don't you know my signature ninjutsu? Just commit suicide!"

At Lu Shi's command, the three shadows pierced their own necks with their hands.

The shadows vanished, and the injuries were immediately reflected on the three members of Wolf Fang Avalanche. The three who were preparing to attack Feng Hua Xiaoxue all vomited blood from their necks and fell to the ground, twitching twice before falling silent.

Seeing this, Feng Hua Nu Tao struggled to his feet.

"Why! Why?! This is clearly an internal matter of the Land of Snow, why is Konoha interfering! Why did Konoha send a monster like you?!"

Hearing the hysterical roar of the wind and waves, Lu Shi laughed directly, "Because they paid us."

"I'm a ninja. My employer gives me missions and pays me, I complete the missions and get paid—it's perfectly reasonable!"

I've thought about many things, but I've never considered such a simple and unpretentious reason.

Enraged, Feng Hua Nutao shouted, "So what if you're Nara Shikatoki?! I'll kill you!"

"Ice Release: Black Dragon Storm Kill!"

An ice dragon formed from ice magic appeared and charged straight at Shika.

"Holy crap, this ninjutsu wasn't in the Ice Release scroll that Asama Santayu gave me. Yours is pretty cool, kind of like Toshiro."

The deer and peacock activated their magic, forming a giant energy dragon.

The ice dragon shattered the moment they made contact. "But it seems to only look intimidating; it's actually quite weak!"

"Ice Release: Twin Dragon Storm Kill!"

Feng Hua Nu Tao ignored Lu Shi's comments and only focused on releasing the Ice Dragon.

Seeing that his opponent only used the same move, Lu Shi also felt a little bored. The energy dragon instantly enveloped Feng Hua Nu Tao, and Lu Shi instantly appeared next to him, activating the sealing technique.

Unable to mobilize his chakra, Feng Hua Nu Tao collapsed helplessly to the ground.

"You win, kill me now." Feng Hua Nu Tao closed his eyes resignedly.

Lu Shi didn't make a move, but brought Feng Hua Nu Tao to Feng Hua Xiao Xue's side.

"What are you trying to do? Humiliate me?" Feng Hua Nu Tao asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Shi remained silent, but simply extended his right hand towards Feng Hua Xiao Xue, "Give me the hexagonal crystal."

Without hesitation, Feng Hua Xiaoxue took off the hexagonal crystal hanging around her neck and handed it to Lu Shi.

"Isn't this the Snow Kingdom's secret treasure you've always wanted?"

Feng Hua Nu Tao stared at the hexagonal crystal, "What exactly do you want! Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"

"I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to show you the true nature of this treasure, or rather, show you why your brother is the ruler of the country, but you aren't."

When Lu came last time, he found the heating device.

The group arrived at the Ice Lake Altar.

The deer inserted the hexagonal crystal and twisted it.

The earth began to shake.

"Besides being a symbol of the Snow Kingdom's royal family and being able to unlock the Snow Kingdom's treasure trove, the hexagonal crystal is also the most important result of the research on Fuuka Hayabusa."

The ice and snow began to melt, and the temperature began to rise.

This change left everyone somewhat incredulous.

The reason why the Land of Snow is called the Land of Snow is essentially because the Land of Snow is covered in snow all year round.

"What you care about is your royal status, the treasure trove of the Snow Kingdom! But what your brother, Kazahana Hayate, cares about is simply bringing spring to this cold Snow Kingdom."

Lu Shi's words shattered Feng Hua Nu Tao's heart.

Feng Hua Nu Tao's eyes were somewhat dazed.

After doing all this, Shika turned to Asama Santayu and said, "I'll leave the Wind and Waves to you. Whether you kill them or not is up to you. This mission can be considered a complete success. I'll be leaving now."

Asama Santayu quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Shikatoki, for your hard work for the Land of Snow!"

The same goes for Feng Hua Xiao Xue: "Thank you, Lord Lu Shi."

Lu Shi waved goodbye and left the Snow Country.

This time, Shikatoki didn't rush back to Konoha. Tsunade and the others were especially serious this time, as going back would only torment Minato. However, Kushina's belly was getting bigger and bigger, so Shikatoki decided to let Minato go and wander around the ninja world by himself.

"The ninja world is truly amazing; it immediately becomes prosperous as soon as the war ends."

Lu Shi passed by a wartime village.

He remembered that describing the village as ruins would be an understatement, but now it had completely changed, becoming peaceful and serene, as if it had never been a battlefield.

Just as Lu Shi was still feeling sentimental.

Two familiar yet unfamiliar figures appeared before me.

Both were dressed in black robes; one was hunched over, and the other wore a black mask, revealing only a pair of green eyes.

Isn't that Sasori and Kakuzu?!
