Snow Country Strategy!

Land of Snow!

Three Ground Effect Vehicles slowly descended at the harbor of Snow Capital, the capital of this small country.

Splash!

Towering waves surged up.

A few months earlier.

Tang Ping had sent Kurenai, Anko, Guren, and the others to help Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Shino, and the rest assist Kazahana Koyuki in restoring her country.

Only now was the mission considered complete.

With their strength, dealing with Kazahana Dōtō had not been difficult. Restoring the country, however, had been far from easy, which was why it had taken so long.

The good news was that this restoration had brought Tenshukaku quite a few benefits.

The two technologies they had acquired—temperature control and Chakra Armor—were already worth the price, not to mention the Land of Snow itself.

The Land of Snow was important!

At least, it would be extremely important once the snow melted.

That way, the capital's harbor could remain in use year-round instead of being usable for only one or two months each year.

And if the harbor could be used, it meant Tenshukaku's fleet could sail around to the Land of Snow by sea.

Previously, all supplies had relied on Ground Effect Vehicles.

That had been manageable before.

But as trade expanded exponentially, the Ground Effect Vehicles could no longer keep up.

Now, things were different!

With the Land of Snow's harbor, while the speed of each shipment would be far inferior to a Ground Effect Vehicle, the total volume could increase exponentially.

Mom would never have to worry about my shipping again.

Tang Ping had thought of this when he met Kazahana Koyuki at Tenshukaku, but there was no need to explain any of that to Yuhi Kurenai.

This "incidental" trip to pick people up and rest also naturally carried the intention of discussing an alliance.
