I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 535 Yellow Flash, Mowing the Lawn!

Minato Namikaze's speed was known throughout the ninja world.

After receiving orders from the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash immediately bid farewell to his wife and "eldest son" and embarked on his mission.

Because Nara Rinkazu's order was to "rush to the Land of Snow as quickly as possible," Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

During the previous Third Shinobi World War, the Land of Snow was not a major battleground and was rarely affected by the fighting between ninjas.

However, this did not prevent Minato Namikaze from "scouting ahead" within the Land of Snow, which was a precautionary measure.

After using the Flying Thunder God Technique several times, Minato Namikaze arrived in the snow-covered Land of Snow from Konoha.

"call……"

Standing on the boundless snowfield, Minato Namikaze let out a long breath, then took out a soldier's ration pill from his ninja tool pouch and put it in his mouth to replenish the chakra he had consumed.

The number of Flying Thunder God Technique imprints he left within the Land of Snow was limited.

After several jumps, Minato Namikaze has arrived at the marker closest to the Snow Kingdom's palace.

After his chakra was mostly restored, Minato Namikaze crouched down, touched the ground with two fingers, and used his senses to detect the distribution of ninjas in the direction of the palace.

"One Jonin... three Chunin..."

A moment later, Minato Namikaze withdrew his two fingers, which were covered in snowflakes, and basically confirmed the enemy's situation.

"You could call them a ninja team!"

Minato Namikaze took out a mask, covered his face, and quickly moved towards the Snow Kingdom's palace.

at the same time.

The Royal Palace of the Snow Kingdom.

The bespectacled Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Hayate, was taking his daughter Kazahana Koyuki for a stroll in the palace corridors, as was his usual routine.

"dad."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue placed one hand in her father's hand, while her other hand played with the gift her father had just given her—a string of crystal-clear, regularly shaped hexagonal crystal necklaces.

"This necklace is so beautiful!"

"Minor Snow".

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Feng Hua Zaoxue adjusted her glasses and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"In the future, you must take good care of this necklace and never let anyone discover its existence."

"Why, Dad?"

Although Feng Hua Xiaoxue was young, she instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"Can't you help me protect this necklace?"

"Xiaoxue..."

Feng Hua Zao Xue didn't explain much, only managing a forced smile.

How could a daimyo like him not know the situation in the Land of Snow?

For the past few years, Feng Huazaoxue has been so engrossed in the research of the heating device that she has failed to keep up with the changes outside the scope of her research.

When Feng Huazaoxue had basically completed her research and was able to focus on observing the outside world, she discovered that a news story had inexplicably begun circulating in China:

A vast secret treasure lies hidden within the Land of Snow!

A secret treasure?

Feng Hua Zao Xue originally thought that such vague rumors would not be recognized by anyone.

Until his younger brother, Feng Hua Nu Tao, came knocking on his door.

When the two first met, Kazama Saya scolded her younger brother, admonishing him not to believe rumors, and sent Kazama Noto out of the palace.

then.

Feng Hua Nu Tao then brought the ninjas from Yukigami Village back to their door.

The ninja village of the Land of Snow—Yukigakure.

This ninja village is not as large as Konoha, nor as outstanding as Amegakure.

However, in the remote and impoverished Land of Snow, the power of the Hidden Snow Village is enough to determine the outcome of everything!

Even the wind, flowers, and snow tried to resist.

As a result, his palace guards were sent directly to the Pure Land by a giant frost whale summoned by a Snow Hidden Ninja.

Faced with the incredible ninjutsu of the Snow Village ninjas, the power of mortals is simply too weak.

Even without Feng Hua Nu Tao personally taking action, Feng Hua Zao Xue failed.

If it weren't for the fact that Feng Hua Nu Tao believed he had an absolute advantage and generously gave Feng Hua Zao Xue a week to consider,

Both Feng Hua Zaoxue and Feng Hua Xiaoxue had already died at each other's hands.

However, it was precisely because of Feng Hua Nu Tao's carelessness.

Kazaka Hayate managed to find an opportunity to send a letter requesting assistance to Konoha, the village with the highest reputation and strongest strength in the ninja world, hoping that Konoha could send ninjas to eliminate the rebels.

However, a week was about to pass, and not a single ninja had arrived in the Land of Snow.

The anticipation I felt for the early snow and the beauty of nature gradually faded with time.

Right now, there are only two days left until the final moment brought about by the raging storm.

Feng Hua Zao Xue's heart was already on the verge of despair.

At this moment, faced with Kazeka Koyuki's question, Kazeka Shoyuki had no answer at all.

"...Put the necklace away."

In the end, Feng Hua Zao Xue didn't say anything more, but just patted her daughter's head.

The hexagonal crystal necklace he gifted to his daughter was not only made of special materials, but it was also the key to start a heating device that he had meticulously crafted.

As long as the heating device draws enough energy and all its functions operate without malfunction...

Perhaps in a few years, or even a decade or more, the Land of Snow will become the "Land of Spring" because of that heating device.

But the future of "wind and flowers in early snow" may be over...

Feng Hua Xiaoxue obediently tucked the necklace into her clothes. She was about to say something more when she suddenly saw a bird-like painted mask float by on the side of the palace corridor.

"dad!"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue immediately tensed up.

Sensing something was wrong, Kazama Saya immediately shielded her daughter behind him, trying to protect her with her frail body.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you."

Minato Namikaze emerged from the shadows and asked calmly.

"May I ask if you are the daimyo of the Land of Snow, Fuuka Hayate?"

Seeing Minato Namikaze's attire, which was so different from that of the ninjas of Yukigami Village, a hint of excitement flashed in Hayayuki Kazahana's eyes.

"You are... a ninja from Konoha?"

"I am."

Minato Namikaze slightly lifted his mask, revealing a headband bearing the Konoha insignia.

"I have been ordered by the Fourth Hokage to protect the personal safety of the Daimyo of the Land of Snow."

At the same time, eliminate the traitors for the Daimyo of the Land of Snow!

Minato Namikaze recalled Nara Rinkazu's instructions before his departure.

"That's good! That's good!"

The mood was quite excited about the early snow and the beautiful scenery.

He thought the Konoha ninjas wouldn't come, but he didn't expect them to be so swift!

but……

"Master Ninja, you're all alone here—"

The questions about "wind, flowers, and early snow" haven't been fully answered yet.

A rough shout rang out from the other side.

"Strange ninja invasion!!"

Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow and looked at Hayate Kazaka.

"Your Excellency, who is this gentleman?"

"Yukigakure ninja!"

Feng Hua Zaoxue said through gritted teeth.

"They are the enemy—"

Just as the Daimyo of the Land of Snow uttered the word "enemy".

Minato Namikaze immediately activated the Body Flicker Technique, disappearing from the spot like a ghost.

And when the wind, flowers, and snow utter the word "person".

A three-pronged kunai sliced ​​across the neck of the Snow Village ninja.

Swah——

Early snow and gentle breeze: ?

He thought he saw a golden flash?

After a brief moment of confusion, Kazama Shoyuki immediately reached out and covered her daughter's eyes with her hands.

Meanwhile, the warning call of the Snow Village ninja who had just been killed had been picked up by his other companions.

Soon, two more Snow Village ninjas arrived.

Closely following behind them was Feng Hua Nu Tao, whose face was full of rage.

Feng Hua Zao Xue was just about to have a chat with his foolish younger brother.

The yellow flash started again.

Swish—swish—swish—

The daimyo of the Land of Snow didn't even have time to see the speed at which the yellow flash was launched.

The four ninjas, led by Feng Hua Nu Tao, all died in the throat-slitting attack of the Golden Flash.

It was moving so fast it looked like it was mowing grass.

No, this is mowing the lawn!

"Aba aba..."

Feng Hua Zao Xue opened her mouth somewhat in vain, but the pleasantries that were about to come out turned into meaningless interjections.

Are these the Konoha ninjas?

Is it not the Hokage who's here?

Two updates today.

I stood you up...
