Spring in the Land of Snow (Part Two)

"Oh, it seems you're quite formidable, kid. Rōga, go and hold him off, try to buy him some time. I'll take Kazahana Koyuki to the other side of the rainbow to retrieve the Kazahana family's treasure, and then we'll join forces to kill this brat," Kazahana Dōtō said.

"Alright, you go ahead. I'll stall for time. Ice Release: Icicle!" Nadare Rōga unleashed Ice Release on Issui.

Issui dodged the Ice Release, so he let Kazahana Dōtō take Kazahana Koyuki first, since the real treasure was just the geothermal generation system. He would deal with the little bug Nadare Rōga, here.

"Haha, Koyuki, come with me. That little brat next to you can't take care of you anymore," Kazahana Dōtō said as he walked up to Kazahana Koyuki.

"Koyuki, don't worry. After I take care of this enemy, I'll come to save you right away. Don't worry, trust me, you won't die. If you do die, I'll wipe out all the enemies and then die with you. Trust me, don't be afraid, I'm coming right away," Issui said confidently to Kazahana Koyuki.

Koyuki nodded confidently, her eyes hardening.

"Oh, so you two are really in love, Koyuki. Is this your little sweetheart? No wonder he's so attentive to you," Kazahana Dōtō chuckled.

"None of your business!" Kazahana Koyuki's face flushed red as she shouted angrily.

"Hmph, come with me. The treasure belongs to me. Once you get the Kazahana family's treasure, I will grant your wishes and send you all to your doom." Kazahana Dōtō said viciously. He spread his wings, grabbed Kazahana Koyuki Xue's clothes, and flew into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

But Issui still smiled with relief, because when Kazahana Koyuki was grabbed by Kazahana Dōtō, she smiled at Issui and said, "Hmph, believe me, I will definitely make you the monarch of this country."

"Ice Release - Tearing Dragon Fierce Tiger!" Nadare Rōga saw Issui staring blankly and grinned maliciously. "Hmph, you can't be distracted during a battle. You're finished."

Boom! The numerous tigers formed from melted snow were swept away by the Issui and were about to be severely injured.

"Ice Creation, a gigantic ice bell!"

Issui sound came from behind the Nadare Rōga, and a huge ice bell appeared at the head of the Tiger Avalanche.

"Boom..."

The massive ice bell smashed Nadare Rōga to the ground, shattering the Yin-Yang Eye controller on its arm. Nadare Rōga was also smashed into a bloody pulp, with blood flowing freely.

Issui approached Nadare Rōga and said, "I told you long ago, don't underestimate me. Ninjas are the kind of people who can't be reasoned with. You made another mistake, what a pity. This time, the mistake will cost you your life. Sigh, how could you be so stupid? I deliberately set up an opening for you to see. Is your brain full of shit? You didn't even think before you attacked. It's rare to see someone as stupid as you. Goodbye, you idiot."

Nadare Rōga Avalanche exhaled its last breath, glaring at Issui and uttering hatefully, "You... you... shameless... despicable!!!"

Issui shook his head and said, "No, being despicable is my personality, and shamelessness is my pride. You don't need to praise me. Actually, I've been very restrained, but I didn't expect you to still see through it. You're really talented; you actually managed to guess that."

"Puff..."

Nadare Rōga was completely dead. Hearing Issui's unique remarks, he spat out the last mouthful of blood in his mouth.

"Sigh, it's good that you're dead. Who told you to follow an idiot? You were just a discarded pawn, only holding me back for a moment," Issui said, shaking his head.

"Quick, quick, go save Her Highness the Princess! She's been caught in the Kazahana Dōtō and can't get anywhere..." The Sandayū said anxiously as he ran up to Issui, panting.

"Leave it to me, Director. Come out and drive me there. Sandayū, go arrange for your brothers to receive treatment, then wait for news of our victory. I will definitely wipe out the Dotō and bring back your next ruler."

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much. The people of the Land of Snow will always be grateful for your help, Konoha will always be a friend of the Land of Snow," the Sandayū said happily.

"Come on, let me witness the victorious ending quickly. Get in the car, I want to go with you and film the final scene." The director said as he drove the snowmobile up to Issui.

"Alright, let's go..." Issui nodded.

Kazahana Dōtō led Kazahana Koyuki to a mountaintop where there was a control panel in the center, surrounded by six massive ice walls. Kazahana Dōtō removed the Hexagonal Crystal necklace from Kazahana Koyuki's neck, then went to the control panel and inserted the Hexagonal Crystal into it.

The control panel emitted two beams of light, which then extended outwards, revealing a giant snowflake crystal with six enormous ice walls at its six corners.

"Haha, the secret chamber of the Kazahana family is about to appear! I will build the Land of Snow into a powerful Five Great Nations, Village Hidden in the Snow will also be comparable to the Five Great Shinobi Villages! Haha..." Kazahana Dōtō laughed wildly as he watched the treasure about to be revealed.

Time passed, but the treasure that Kazahana Dōtō had hoped for did not appear. Instead, large areas of ice and snow began to melt, and the surrounding temperature gradually rose.

Kazahana Koyuki, she felt a warm breeze and a sense of comfort wash over her.

"Geothermal generator, this must be the secret chamber of the Kazahana family, no, impossible!" Kazahana Dōtō felt that the secret chamber was not what he had imagined, and he was filled with resentment.

"Koyuki, I'm here. I haven't broken my promise, have I? I'll protect you; that's our promise." Issui suddenly appeared beside Kazahana Koyuki and picked her up.

When Koyuki saw Issui appear, all her unease vanished, and she hugged Issui: "That's great, I believe you."

"Alright, Koyuki, you stay out of the way. I'll show you my true strength, defeat Kazahana Dōtō, and help you become the ruler of the Land of Snow." Issui created an Ice Clone and led Kazahana Koyuki aside.

"Tch, what nonsense! That's ridiculous! With this Chakra Armor, you can't beat me! Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!!" The imagined treasure didn't appear, and Kazahana Dōtō was furious. Hearing Issui's arrogant words, he became even angrier and directly used his trump card.

A blizzard, created by the transformation of wind-attribute Chakra mixed with snow, transformed into a black dragon and violently rushed towards the Issui.

"Watch out!" Kazahana Koyuki shouted anxiously at Issui, her heart pounding in her chest.

Issui made a victory sign at Kazahana Koyuki, then formed hand Hand Seals: "Eye of Heaven: Flame, Secret Technique - Flame Demon Descent!!!"

"Boom..."

The immense Chakra created a powerful wind pressure that made everyone's clothes rustle. Issui's body was covered in numerous black flames, which eventually formed a Flame Demon God over thirty meters tall outside Issui's body. The black dragon formed by the blizzard was transformed into its energy and vanished before it could even get close to the Flame Demon God. It was truly terrifying.

Kazahana Dōtō exclaimed in a trembling voice, "What the hell is this? A monster! What is this?!"

The Flame Demon God, with his Issui, declared, "This is why I am called Demon God by ninjas from other countries. Your insignificant power is utterly worthless before me. Today, here, I will avenge Koyuki, avenge the deceased former ruler of the Land of Snow, and avenge the millions of people of the Land of Snow. Secret Technique— Flame Demon Purgatory Slash!!!"

Issui clenched his right hand towards the sky, and the Flame Demon God followed suit, extending his own right hand and clenching it in the air. A huge black flame blade appeared in the Flame Demon God's hand, and slowly the flame blade released seven-colored light, transforming the black flame blade into a seven-colored glass flame blade.

"Seven-Colored Chakra!" the director exclaimed excitedly.

Kazahana Koyuki also clenched her fists to bless Issui; what a romantic scene!

Issui swung his right hand toward Kazahana Dōtō, while the Flame Demon God also raised his seven-colored flame blade and slashed at Kazahana Dōtō.

"Twin Dragon Blizzard! Don't kill me!" Kazahana Dōtō was terrified by the Flame Demon God. Even with his Chakra Armor, he wouldn't survive this strike; it was far beyond its limits. This brat was a super freak.

The wind-attribute Chakra swirled the surrounding snow together, forming a blizzard that transformed into two black dragons to stop the flame blade's attack. However, the dragons only lasted for less than a second under the flames before disappearing, and the seven-colored flame blade continued to slash at the Kazahana Dōtō.

"Boom... Rumble..."

The Flaming Blade slammed Kazahana Dōtō into the ground, but it didn't stop there. Huge cracks appeared in the ice around Kazahana Dōtō, and the gushing ice water was completely evaporated. Kazahana Dōtō, too, turned to ash under the Flaming Blade's fury and vanished. The Flaming Blade's momentum didn't cease; it continued its strikes, and all the gushing ice water disappeared, without even the power to evaporate, all absorbed by the Flaming Blade.

Gradually, the power of the Flaming Blade disappeared completely, and the entire mountaintop seemed to have been transformed into a giant ice cave, revealing the immense power of the Flaming Blade.

Issui gradually dispelled the Flame Demon Descent Secret Technique, the surrounding environment, powered by the geothermal generator, melted away all the ice, turning into flowing water. Warm sunlight gradually pierced through the clouds, and grass and flowers began to sprout from the surrounding land. Butterflies also arrived, frolicking on the ground...

"This... this is unbelievable..." the director exclaimed in astonishment.

At that moment, a scene appeared above the center of the six enormous ice walls: a conversation between Kazahana Koyuki and her father when they were young.

In the video Kazahana Sōsetsu says, "We must believe that if we keep to ourselves, spring will surely come. What does Koyuki want to do before spring arrives?"

In the video, a young Kazahana Koyuki says, "Koyuki wants to become a princess."

"Hmm, what kind of princess?"

"I want to be a gentle, strong, and righteous princess!"

"Haha, that's really difficult. But if you always believe in your dreams and never give up pursuing them, your dreams will definitely come true." In the video, Kazahana Sōsetsu walked up to Koyuki and put Hexagonal Crystal necklace on her finger. "See? There's a beautiful princess standing here."

"But, Koyuki, there's something else that's troubling me... because I have a dream..."

What other dreams do you have...?

"To be an actress..."

"Ha ha..."

"Ha ha..."

The two figures in the video gradually disappeared amidst laughter, and Koyuki also shed tears of happiness and smiled.

Issui walked up to Koyuki, wiped away her tears, and said, "This is a perfect ending. Your dream has come true..."

"Yes!" Koyuki nodded happily, and a rainbow appeared in the sky, it was extremely beautiful.
