The will of fire can't save the ninja world

At the mission entrustment office, Kakashi took out the kissing paradise and waited.

He had heard about Daming Mansion sending people over during this period.

But I didn't expect that this time, it would be my turn.

Kakashi was bored and could only read his favorite book to relieve his boredom.

When it comes to changing tasks, he is not so impatient.

But the problem is that he has secretly communicated with Xianyin Island about this mission...

This mission is a mission, but there are also some shameful things besides the mission.

Now I suddenly have to carry a tow bottle, which is really hard to bear.

"Nagaze, eighteen years old, one of the members of the Daming Palace Guards, with chunin strength, good at wind escape..."

Kakashi recalled the information previously disclosed by the Daimyo Guards and compared it with the boy over there.

Judging from strength alone, it's barely ok.

But considering the task he accepted today, I'm afraid he can only be a bystander.

In order to be able to meet Senyinjima unscrupulously, Kakashi has recently been selecting high-quality missions that are far away and can be fought alone.

The task he is taking over now is a secret commission from the Kingdom of Snow——

The Country of Snow is one of the countries located in the northernmost part of the continent. It is covered with heavy snow all year round and has few contacts with other countries. It is one of the countries that does not have any special sense of existence.

It is said that there is a Ninja Village inside, but no one knows what its strength is.

Recently, it is said that there are disagreements within the Kingdom of Snow.

A man named Feng Hua Ru Tao usurped his brother's throne and took control of the Snow Country.

Their method of usurping the throne was relatively simple and crude, using force and recklessness, so what they did was not comprehensive.

The original daimyo's daughter is now on the run, and those close to the princess secretly sent someone to send a mission to Konoha.

I hope Konoha can help justice and drive away the storm.

So after weighing the situation, Konoha entrusted the task to Kakashi alone.

It seems quite exaggerated.

But this is the reality. In some small countries, even a jounin can sometimes stir up troubles.

Of course, small countries that can be disturbed generally have few resources that can attract jounin, especially when most jonin come from great ninja villages.

Moreover, Kakashi's mission is mainly to protect the princess. As for driving away the storm... Konoha said it would be discussed later.

It's not that I don't want to help, it's really hard for Konoha to spare any manpower recently.

The Great Ninja World War has been going on for several years, and the ninjas have suffered a lot of losses, but the tasks have been piled up in piles. It is difficult to have enough manpower to complete the tasks 100% in the short term.

And now if there is one more Nagasawa...

There are some troublesome trivial matters that can be used.

Kakashi was lost in thought, but Nagato had already taken over the mission and came to meet him.

"Let's go, let's talk on the way."

Kakashi complained in his heart, but at least he was polite on the outside.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country sent people here, and this is the official attitude of Konoha.

As for privately, Konoha ninjas don't like him.

To sum up, if you don't have Uchiha's life, you will get Uchiha's disease.

To say that their strength is not that great, they are different from the regular ninjas of the same level in the Great Ninja Village, but their attitude is a bit arrogant.

What's worse is that they are always trying to meddle here and there, which is annoying.

You can't say it, because saying it would be a slap in the face, so everyone can only deal with it.

Nagato also knew what was going on, and thought it was normal.

On the contrary, his attitude towards Konoha ninja has changed somewhat during this period.

In Nagato's heart, Konoha ninjas who were born in the Great Ninja Village are the arrogant beings, whether they are doing things or treating other people's lives.

But after getting in touch with them, he found that most Konoha ninjas were completely humble.

It's as if the people of Konoha have two faces, inside and outside the village.

"How much do you know about the Country of Snow?"

After leaving Konoha and getting on the carriage heading to the Land of Snow, Kakashi said to Nagasawa who was sitting with him.

After all, in his opinion, Nagasawa was born in the Damingfu of the Land of Fire, and his vision of the current ninja world should be broader than his.

Those countries that have no sense of existence, if it were not for the entrusted mission, Konoha might not have any contact with them for the rest of their lives, but the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion would definitely not be like this.

Nagato hesitated and said: "As for the country of Snow, they don't have much contact with us..."

When he first arrived at Daming Mansion, how could he understand these nonsense.

So he prevaricated and changed the subject: "It is said that they usurped the throne by using the power of ninjas. I wonder what ninjutsu they are good at?"

Kakashi glanced at him, pulled up the mask, and used it as a mask for sleeping: "Yeah, I don't know what ninjutsu is."

There is something wrong with Nagasawa.

Kakashi believed that under Konoha's review, Nagasawa's identity should be fine, but this person was a bit strange.

What is the Fire Nation most worried about right now?

The worry is about coups everywhere.

Whether it is the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Rain, or the Kingdom of Iron, they are all the worries of the Kingdom of Fire.

Now that the Kingdom of Snow has usurped the throne, what will be the normal attitude of the Kingdom of Fire?

Kakashi originally thought that they sent people here just to investigate the real usurpation of the Snow Country and to ensure that some strange ideas were not spread there, or that Senyin Island was behind the scenes.

But on the surface, no matter where you look at Nagasawa, he does not care about this aspect.

It's hard not to make Kakashi wonder what the real purpose of these people from the Fire Nation's Daming Mansion is.

Or is it just that Nagasawa is like this in front of him and doesn't care about this aspect?

Kakashi was suspicious and asked Nagasawa a question.

Nagato saw Kakashi just close his eyes and take a rest. For a while, he couldn't figure out whether it was the other person's habit or whether he had exposed something.

He thought carefully for a long time before suddenly realizing what the problem was.

His reaction to Snow Kingdom's move to usurp the throne was too dull.

Nagato himself did this with Konan in the Land of Rain, so he didn't think there was anything strange about this kind of thing.

But the problem is, he is now close to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire...

Nagato glanced at Kakashi and wiped his sweat.

Is this subtle observation the comprehensive education of Onin Village?

It seems that I have slacked off a lot during this period, and I almost had a problem with this kind of thing.

I can only make up for it a little bit afterwards.

With Bai Jue's skill of disguise, he doesn't have to worry about being seen through.

…

Five days passed one after another.

The two of them rotated carriages and horses several times, and then walked for a long time.

The world in front of us seems to have gone from early autumn to winter.

The sky is covered with ice and snow, and the forest is bare and sparse.

"The land on the other side is the border of Snow Country."

Kakashi and Nagasawa settled in the small town of Lingang. Looking ahead, they could vaguely see some icebergs.

Following the code given by the intelligence, he communicated with the waiter in the tavern and was taken to the underground warehouse.

The underground warehouse has been transformed into a temporary rest room.

Although it cannot be seen in the light, it actually looks a little luxurious.

At the door, a short-haired warrior wearing small round glasses was pacing back and forth, uneasy.

After the sound of footsteps was finally heard, the samurai communicated repeatedly with the waiter, and finally came over with obvious doubts.

This man's name is Asama Santao, he is a warrior of Snow Country and the right-hand man of the previous Daimyo of Snow Country. Now that the princess is on the run, he has become the princess's last loyal subordinate.

"Are you ninjas from Konoha?" Asama looked at the two of them, feeling a little annoyed, but he had to hold it in.

He had imagined countless times what would happen if he asked for help from Konoha, such as Konoha sending an army of ninjas to come over and eliminate Feng Hua Furuo in three strokes, five divided by two.

Okay, although it's too much of a fantasy, but now, these two people in front of me... look too young.

That sturdy young man looked like an adult.

That white-haired hedgehog over there, is he fourteen? Fifteen?

At this age, the samurai is still an apprentice!

This is a major event related to the fate of a country. How could Konoha...

Could it be that Konoha saw their weak position and looked down on them?

Kakashi looked at the change in Mr. Asama's expression. He knew what he was thinking without even thinking about it. He didn't bother to care about it and just left the trivial matter of the connection to Nagasawa.

Nagato was actually very familiar with this kind of thing. He had faced such doubts countless times in the Land of Rain. He always doubted how these young men could save the Land of Rain. But now, after all, he was wearing someone else's skin and could only pretend.

Tsukuru said in embarrassment: "You must be Mr. Asama, senior. My name is Nagasawa, Konoha... er, Konoha ninja. We will be responsible for your mission this time."

Seeing his humility, Mr. Asama couldn't help but have hope: "Nagazawa, right? You...are you the vanguard of this operation?"

He still held out hope that there was still a large army behind Konoha.

No matter what happens, it would be nice to have two more teams.

Nagasawa pretended to be stunned for a moment and continued: "We are the ones responsible for this incident. Konoha will be responsible for protecting the princess, but what happened in your country is really shocking. That damn usurper, we will

Try to get in touch."

He showed his anger towards the usurper just right and made up for his previous flaws to show Kakashi.

But at this time, Kakashi's attention was no longer on his side.

Kakashi looked unusually excited when he saw the sign of Senyin Island flashing outside, but he quickly suppressed it.

This time when he met on Xianyin Island, in addition to the exchange of information, more importantly - his father White Fang also came.

The night his father left, every detail emerged in his mind.

He had been waiting for this day for too long.

"Kakashi, Kakashi-senpai?"

Several calls came from around him, and Kakashi came back to his senses.

Nagato is older than Kakashi, but according to Nagasawa's identity and compared with Kakashi's status, he can indeed be called a senior on the road of ninja.

Kakashi turned around and glanced at Nagasawa.

Nagato's eyes signaled to Mr. Asama who opened the door over there: "The handover of the task here has been completed. Their opinion is to escort them back to the Land of Snow first."

Kakashi nodded and said casually: "Then just follow them."

Anyway, the bottom line of the mission that doesn’t need to be entrusted to them is to ensure the safety of the princess.

As for those who have failed to regain their country, just give it a try and try your best.

Since employers want to try it, they have no reason to refuse.

In the basement, the two met Princess Fenghua Xiaoxue.

The child, who was a few years old, seemed a little curious about the two ninjas, but also a little unsure.

The death of her father and the rebellion of her uncle made her very worried about the strength of the Snow Ninja Village. It was unlikely that just two people could solve the problem.

But not long after she left home and lost her father, Fenghua Xiaoxue didn't want to give up simply yet.

The four of them communicated for a while and after pretending, Mr. Asama asked his friend here to book a boat.

It's not impossible to take the land route, but it's too far to go around, and the weather here is so difficult that the land route is far less convenient than a boat.

They moved very quickly and set off along with the fishing boats in the early afternoon.

The four of them also dressed up as sailors and children and followed them on the cabin.

The further north the ship goes, the colder the weather becomes.

Many times it is necessary to cut through the ice or follow the big ship to sail smoothly.

Seeing that the country of snow is getting closer and closer, Kakashi talks more and more.

"Sometimes the client's words cannot be fully trusted. Some will deliberately conceal information. Sometimes they themselves cannot tell the truth from the false. We still need to fight for the mastery of intelligence."

"Especially when it comes to the change of power in a country, things cannot be careless."

"As for them, when the time comes, hold on and confirm their safety here and whether they have manpower secretly."

Kakashi seemed to be trying his best to teach Nagasawa about the experience of commissioned tasks, but when the ship landed and Asama took them to the secret gathering point in the Land of Snow, Kakashi revealed his purpose.

"I will investigate the detailed information of the mission in person, and I will leave it to you for the time being to protect their safety."

Kakashi finished his explanation a little impatiently and left in a hurry.

If it were someone who wasn't familiar with Kakashi, it might be okay.

But Nagato pays close attention to talents like Kakashi on the battlefield and knows some of his habits.

Talking too much and explaining too much is definitely not Kakashi's style.

He was so eager to gain the right to go out, and even thinking about his subtle rejection of him, it was not difficult for Nagato to judge that Kakashi was hiding something from him.

"Jiejie, this Kakashi is a bit interesting."

Bai Zetsu's funny voice sounded in Nagato's ears.

Next to Nagato's ears, a laughing mouth protruded.

Nagato was also a little curious, but he couldn't leave at this time.

If he was discovered by Asama Santao while he was away, it would be easy to expose the fact that he was being followed.

At this time, there were footsteps inside the hotel.

Mr. Asama said: "The temporary accommodation is ready, do you want to come over and have a look?"

Nagato pressed his mouth next to his ears, letting Bai Zetsu press against his skin again, then turned around and said, "Thank you, Mr. Asama."

Only then did Mr. Asama notice Kakashi's absence and asked in confusion: "Where is the white-haired child?"

Nagato said: "He needs to be responsible for the safety of the surrounding area. He went over to investigate."

Nagato explained for Kakashi, and followed Mr. Asama into the hotel to rest.

However, after everyone returned to their rooms, Nagato's body seemed to have melted. Bai Zetsu pulled the silk and broke away from him, and gradually returned to his complete body after landing.

To be on the safe side, Nagato continued to use the transformation technique to maintain the original strong Nagasawa form.

Seeing that Bai Jue was eager to try, he reminded: "Your tracking technology is not completely incomprehensible. Be careful and don't get discovered."

Bai Jue groaned twice. He had been holding it back for a while, "Don't worry, there are only a few people in the entire ninja world who can find me. I'm not so unlucky to meet me in such a remote place, right?"

Bai Jue sheep pretended to be diving, jumped into the floor, and gradually disappeared.

Although Nagato was interested in Kakashi's little secret, he didn't think about it too much. After Bai Zetsu left, he began to practice every day, paying attention to the movements in the two rooms next door.

Speaking of which, it was his first time to perform a mission of this level as a ninja.

He couldn't see the changes in the Kingdom of Rain, but he might be able to witness them with his own eyes in the Kingdom of Snow.

At night, the land of snow is completely silent, except for the occasional rustle of falling snow.

I don't know what time it was in the middle of the night, but Nagato opened his eyes.

Bai Jue's figure jumped out from the ground, looking panicked.

"Yeah, hey, hey, hey! I'm scared to death!"

"Good news, I discovered Kakashi's secret!"

"Bad news, I was also discovered..."
