Land of Snow.
A country without spring.
This was something every resident of the Land of Snow knew.
But after the new ruler they trusted took office, everything changed.
Spring had arrived.
Although Hinata's influence had not spread across the entire Land of Snow, during this period, the ice and snow over nearly half the country had already melted.
One day, the entire Land of Snow would welcome spring.
This made the people of the Land of Snow deeply respect their mysterious ruler.
Yes, mysterious.
Other than the succession ceremony, the residents of the Land of Snow rarely saw their ruler.
Even within the royal capital, Kazahana Koyuki's confidants had noticed that, at some point, their ruler had begun wearing a mask.
At this moment, Kazahana Koyuki was strolling through the fields.
A little white cat perched on her shoulder.
Various crops had been planted on either side of the road, but they had only been planted recently and were still far from maturity.
Kazahana Koyuki removed the mask from her face.
The mask was very strange because it had no "eyes."
Anyone who wore it would be unable to see the scenery beyond it due to the mask's obstruction.
But this did not apply to Kazahana Koyuki, because her eyes were the Byakugan!
Under the white cat's guidance, she had successfully sensed Nature Energy in addition to using the Byakugan, then absorbed and refined it into True Qi.
When Kazahana Koyuki awakened the Byakugan, she had known that the "teacher" on her shoulder was most likely a member of the Hyuga clan from the Hidden Leaf Village.
But she did not know exactly who it was.
Theoretically, it was very likely the current Fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Hyuga Hinata, the one who had awakened the Tenseigan.
