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

Chapter 542 Rainbow Ice Wall!

Nara Rinka spent the night at the royal palace in the Snow Country's Kazeka Castle.

The next morning.

Kazayuki invited him to go to the geothermal device, and he also invited Minato Namikaze.

"Lord Hokage, Lord Minato, please come with me to the Rainbow Ice Wall."

"Rainbow Ice Wall?"

Nara Rinka was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously.

"Didn't we agree to go to the geothermal facility?"

"I racked my brains all night last night and decided to rename the geothermal device 'Rainbow Ice Wall'."

Kazayuki adjusted her glasses and said quite seriously.

"The Hokage and Minato should be the first foreigners to see geothermal—no, Rainbow Ice Wall, so I have decided to give Rainbow Ice Wall a new name."

"good!"

Minato Namikaze applauded in agreement.

He likes people who take naming things so seriously!

Although we still don't know what that "rainbow ice wall" actually is.

But this thing sounds really impressive.

Nara Rinka's lips twitched, and then he glanced at the doorman again.

How could he not know this guy's naming preferences?

That's it.

"Your Excellency, Daimyo."

Nara Rinkazu's mind stirred slightly, and a huge creature emerged from the shadows on the snow—a [Shadow Creature].

"Let's go to that... Rainbow Ice Wall!"

"What is this?"

Feng Hua Zao Xue circled the [Shadow Creature] a few times, asking with great curiosity.

Princess Kazahana Koyuki of the Snow Country, who had come with him, also joined in.

However, perhaps due to some nervousness, the little princess appeared to be curiously observing the dark "monster," but in reality, she was gripping her father's clothes very tightly with her little hands.

"A physical object created from chakra."

Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato jumped onto the back of the [Shadow Creature].

"Wind, Flower, Early Snow," "Wind, Flower, Light Snow," and another minister from the Land of Snow, also wearing glasses, followed behind.

After exchanging pleasantries...

Nara Rinka used the shadow to "fix" the Snow Country's daimyo, princess, and minister to the back of the [shadow creature], and then immediately set off.

This rendered the "snow expedition team" that Feng Hua Zaoxue had prepared overnight useless...

However, while flying in the sky, both the lord and the princess forgot about the entourage below and were only concerned with shouting and yelling.

Especially the young princess of the Snow Country—Kazehana Hayateru.

We hurried along.

No need for guidance from wind, flowers, or early snow.

Nara Rinka, following his own senses and the flow of natural energy, accurately located the rainbow ice wall on the vast, white snowfield.

This "rainbow ice wall" is not an ordinary iceberg cliff.

On the boundless, silvery-white snowfield, six enormous ice walls stand silently, each with a regular shape and facing the other. Their smooth surfaces seep into the water, and from a distance, they look like six giant magic mirrors standing on the earth.

At the center of the six rainbow-colored ice walls lies a perfectly flat ice field.

In the very center of the ice field, there is a small pavilion, inside which stands a stone platform with a keyhole.

The shadow creature landed next to the stone pavilion, its enormous shadow silently merging into the ground. Nara Rinka and the others stood firmly on the ice.

"This is the Rainbow Ice Wall!"

Feng Hua Zaoxue raised her hands and spoke loudly in a slightly excited tone.

"This is the core area of ​​the Rainbow Ice Wall!"

"Gentlemen, please follow me into the stone pavilion!"

Nara Lan Gui nodded silently, while Namikaze Minato had no objection.

Feng Hua Zao Xue took the lead, leading her daughter into the stone pavilion.

As for the minister of the Land of Snow, he obediently followed behind the daimyo.

The group arrived at the stone pavilion.

Feng Hua Zao Xue patted her daughter's head.

"Xiaoxue, take out the necklace I gave you yesterday."

"oh."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue took out a necklace from her collar.

The pale purple crystal is dotted with a few sparkling, star-like lights, making it look absolutely beautiful.

Nara Rinka's eyelids twitched again as she looked at the necklace that Kazaka Shoyuki had taken out.

He knew of the existence of this necklace—the "Hexagonal Crystal Necklace".

If it weren't for Nara Rinka's intervention, Kazahana Saya would have died in the current civil war in the Land of Snow, while Kazahana Koyuki would have been rescued by the suddenly appearing Hatake Kakashi (who already had Sharingan), and then wandered around with the "Hexagonal Crystal Necklace".

Then I went into business—cough, into the entertainment industry.

In any case.

This hexagonal crystal necklace is quite precious.

According to the information previously gathered by Nara Rinkei, this necklace should be the "key" to unlocking the geothermal device in the Land of Snow.

However, what Nara Rinka did not expect was that the daimyo of the Land of Snow had such extravagant spending power, casually buying so many [Chakra Crystals].

Even the necklace given to her daughter, the key to the geothermal device, this "hexagonal crystal"—

It's also a [Chakra Crystal]!

Feng Huazaoxue looked around, said nothing more, stepped forward, and directly inserted the "hexagonal crystal necklace" into the stone platform in the center of the stone pavilion, then gently twisted it.

Accompanied by the sound of machinery running, a burst of light suddenly appeared on the stone platform.

A pale purple glow shot into the sky like a beam of light.

Nara Rinka narrowed his eyes slightly, expanding his perception to its maximum, with a particular focus on the natural energy within the earth.

Minato Namikaze, standing to the side, also silently increased his vigilance.

He was unaware of Nara Rinka's thoughts and plans.

However, according to the original intelligence, Kazahana Hayate was just an ordinary person without chakra, yet she managed to create such a special machine.

While Minato Namikaze remained on guard, Nara Rinkazu proactively offered a reminder.

"Natural energy!"

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze also activated his senses.

Although Minato Namikaze's perception abilities—especially his perception of natural energy—are not as good as Nara Rinkei's.

But he is, after all, the contemporary successor of Mount Myoboku.

It possesses the ability to use magical arts!

Sensing the natural energy in the earth is not a difficult task for Minato Namikaze.

Soon, Minato Namikaze also sensed the unusual flow of natural energy deep within the earth.

Does the Land of Snow also possess the inheritance of immortal arts?

Minato Namikaze was quite surprised.

But what happened next was even more surprising.

Click—click—

As the mechanism of the geothermal device (Rainbow Ice Wall) was activated, the natural energy that had been absorbed into the Rainbow Ice Wall was transformed and released according to the prescribed route.

In an instant, centered around this stone pavilion, the sound of ice shattering was incessant, and the entire icy and snowy land trembled continuously.

Not only the earth, but also the six enormous "magic mirrors" underwent a change at this moment.

Deep, chiseled cracks appeared on the surface of the six rainbow ice walls. As the temperature of this peculiar device continued to rise, the cracks in the ice continued to widen until it finally collapsed and fell.

Rumbling--

The broken ice from the rainbow ice wall fell to the ground, and the original ground was also covered with cracks.

The ground was shattered due to the impact of the external force.

At this moment, Nara Rinka and Namikaze Minato realized that the so-called "ice field" shrouded in the center of the six rainbow ice walls was actually a lake with a considerable area.

Ice crystals fell, waves surged, and water vapor gushed forth.

Above these six rainbow-colored ice walls, the brilliant sunlight shines on the surging steam, which then forms a magnificent seven-colored rainbow!

The Rainbow Ice Wall truly lives up to its name.

"This is the Rainbow Ice Wall!"

Feng Hua Zao Xue looked excited.

"Draw energy from the earth, and even from the sun!"

"In this way, over the years, the Land of Snow will surely become the Land of Spring!"

Second update.

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year 2024!
