Chapter 209
Gazing at that fleeting figure, the emotions in my heart... spread out.
A black halo transformed into a shooting star, enveloping Akito's figure as it flashed past.
At this moment, I could easily crash into a building while running at high speed on the ground.
To avoid that kind of thing from happening.
The only option is to travel by air.
It's a bit slower, but it's safer.
After all, there aren't countless airplane routes flying all over the world.
Boom!
An air blast shook the air, Land of Rain quickly receded into the distance behind them...
Soon.
Akito traveler passed over the Land of Earth.
This scene was naturally captured by the ninjas of Iwagakure.
When they saw Amakawa Akito, who had disappeared for three whole years, reappear in the public eye...
He couldn't help but panic.
"Go report to Lord Tsuchikage immediately!!!"
The piercing cries heralded the beginning of a new era.
The wheels of history have begun to turn again, and frozen time is flowing anew.
Everything... is about to undergo a brand new transformation...
Some time later...
The Akito flew over the mountains and arrived at the snow-covered Land of Snow.
This place is a paradise, but also a place where ambitious people can commit evil deeds with impunity.
The Akito hovered in mid-air, looking around.
A quiet, white kingdom, like a world from a fairy tale.
Bang!
Immediately, the Akito exhaled a breath of hot air, which quickly swept across the frigid sky above the country.
Target... the capital of the Land of Snow... Kazahana Castle!!
Inside Kazahana Castle.
Four figures were plotting in the candlelit room.
Three Yukigakure knelt on the ground.
A single ponytail, Nadare Rōga in her early twenties.
Pink twin pigtails, 16-year-old Fubuki Kakuyoku.
And... the 18-year-old Fuyukuma Mizore.
The mature man standing before the three of them was none other than the younger brother of the Kazahana Sōsetsu Shosetsu, Kazahana Dōtō.
"The operation takes place tonight."
As Kazahana Dōtō rose to his feet, his robust physique, exceeding 1.8 meters, made him look nothing like a politician.
"I'll set Kazahana Castle ablaze, creating an accidental fire that will burn Princess Koyuki to death... Then, I will become the true lord of the Land of Snow!"
He mentioned his niece.
The Kazahana Dōtō seemed to be talking about unrelated people.
"Yes..."
The three members of Nadare Rōga smirked, a cruel glint in their eyes.
That evening.
Kazahana Castle, Central Hall.
"Father..."
Kazahana Koyuki sat in the magnificent house.
Looking at the photo before me, I was once again overcome with longing.
Tears, uncontrollably, dripped onto the photo frame.
Splash...
Just then, the door was pulled open, and a silver-haired, masked ninja quickly slipped in.
"Koyuki Princess, I am Kakashi Hatake ninja from Konoha... I have received a secret order from the ministers of the Land of Snow to rescue you..."
Kakashi extended his hand.
"Let's go to a safe place first..."
The handsome Kakashi easily convinced Kazahana Koyuki of her identity.
She quickly got up and, under Kakashi's protection, prepared to leave.
But the next moment...
The fire engulfed the entire palace.
Three ninjas stood in the main hall, looking at Kakashi with amusement.
"You are... Kakashi Hatake Sharingan user from Konoha? Nice to meet you... my apologies..."
Nadare Rōga sized up Kakashi, a cruel glint in his eyes.
Fubuki Kakuyoku and Fuyukuma Mizore also looked at Kakashi with amusement.
Clearly, this is a trap.
"Oops..."
Without a second thought, Kakashi immediately formed Hand Seals and unleashed the ultimate technique he had honed over years of service in the Anbu...
"Lightning Cutter!!!"
Visible electric light gathered in the palm of the hand.
The roar of thunder echoed throughout the area.
Sharingan from Obito, Kakashi once idly contemplated suicide, but unintentionally severed a bolt of lightning falling from the sky.
Therefore, Chidori was upgraded and renamed Lightning Cutter!
It has evolved from A-rank to S-rank difficulty!
Click click click...!!
A clear, melodious chirping sound rang out.
Kakashi, relying on the dynamic vision enhancement of his Sharingan, easily dodged the attacks of Fubuki Kakuyoku and Fuyukuma Mizore, and slammed his right palm, flashing with Lightning Cutter, into Nadare Rōga's chest!
138. Long time no see, Kakashi Hatake
A dazzling purple light shone brightly.
"!"
Kakashi's eyes widened suddenly.
His Lightning Cutter, about 30 centimeters from Nadare Rōga's chest, was blocked by a layer of dazzling purple light.
Then it could not make any further progress.
Click, click.
The "Yukigakure Chakra Armor" on Nadare Rōga's body emitted a strange fluctuation.
The core "crystal" has developed numerous cracks.
"Not bad Ninjutsu, it actually managed to overload the core of my Chakra Armor..."
Nadare Rōga's lips curled into a smile.
His initial prediction.
Kakashi would need at least two of these Lightning Release techniques to break through his defenses.
And while I'm at it, I can easily deal with him.
"Die with Princess Koyuki, Kakashi Hatake... Ice Release!"
Nadare Rōga Hand Seals, and the cold wind howled.
Chakra, seemingly formed out of thin air, gathered in his mouth.
Then, it transformed into Senbon needles and was spat out from its mouth.
"!"
Kakashi was startled and suddenly retreated and rolled backward, dodging a series of attacks while holding onto Kazahana Koyuki.
Even with the Sharingan, he still suffered a slight scratch from the attack before him.
Because the ninjas of the Land of Snow can actually use Ice Release Ninjutsu!!
They're practically just like the Snow Clan Kirigakure...
"Sinai~~!"
Fubuki Kakuyoku let out a low shout.
Kakashi was attacked by both the Fuyukuma Mizore.
Kakashi dodged and defended in a disheveled manner.
Finally, it crashed through the house wall and rushed out.
"Chase!"
Nadare Rōga let out a low shout and quickly led his two companions away from the scene.
Boom!
The fire in Kazahana Castle spread rapidly, quickly soaring into the sky.
The entire hall was about to burst into flames.
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky.
"Fu~!"
A powerful breath was exhaled.
Most of the flames were extinguished instantly.
Then, with a sudden wave of his hand, a black aura flashed, and the flames were completely extinguished...
Then.
The Akito left through the large hole in the broken wall and chased after the four...
"Ice Release... Wolf Fang Avalanche Jutsu!!"
Nadare Rōga Hand Seals, and an avalanche suddenly appeared.
