The sky gradually darkened as night slowly fell.
The entire Land of Snow had already sunk into darkness. With no forms of entertainment and following the ancient, simple way of life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the citizens of the Land of Snow had long since fallen sound asleep.
Only an iron castle in the center of the Land of Snow's city, dark and ancient in style, still glimmered with faint light.
It was the residence of the Land of Snow Feudal Lord.
Built from steel and all kinds of Chakra equipment, this iron castle was patrolled by many ninjas clad in Chakra Armor, giving it powerful defenses against foreign enemies.
It could greatly ensure the Land of Snow Feudal Lord's safety. Yet strong fortresses often crumbled from within, just as the Land of Snow's previous feudal lord, Kazahana Sosetsu, had died at the hands of his younger brother, Kazahana Dōtō.
No matter how sturdy the walls were, they could not guard against the treacherous human heart.
At this moment, within the enormous castle's empty main hall—
A blue-haired Snow Ninja and a pink-haired Snow Ninja stood beneath the throne, jointly holding a brand-new set of Chakra Armor.
The pink-haired Snow Ninja was Tsurugi Fubuki, while the blue-haired Snow Ninja was Nadare Rōga.
Upon the tall throne before them sat—
A burly, imposing man draped in a white cloak, with the standard face of a cannon-fodder villain.
He was the current Land of Snow Feudal Lord—Kazahana Dōtō.
Seated upon his throne, Kazahana Dōtō looked at the Chakra Armor in their hands and asked expressionlessly, "So, you disturbed me this late because the Chakra Armor has made new progress?"
Before Tsurugi Fubuki could answer, Nadare Rōga had already raised the Chakra Armor in his hands and spoken excitedly.
