Kazahana Dōtō

"Do you know Kazahana Dōtō, the younger brother of the Land of Snow's Daimyo?"

Minamoto Takuya finally got to the main point. The three of them could be replaced at will, but Kazahana Dōtō was not such an easy substitute.

As the Daimyo's younger brother, he could indeed do many things in the Land of Snow without the Daimyo knowing.

"Reporting to you, my lord, Kazahana Dōtō was our former Leader." Nadare Rōga no longer called Kazahana Dōtō "my lord." He was clearly quick to read the situation.

"Oh? Then can you summon Kazahana Dōtō to the Snow Ninja Village?" Minamoto Takuya asked.

At once, the Snow Ninja Trio's expressions turned strange. In the end, Nadare Rōga answered, "My lord, Kazahana Dōtō is currently in the Snow Ninja Village."

Minamoto Takuya was taken aback. He had thought he would need to wait a few days, but Kazahana Dōtō was actually already in the Snow Ninja Village. That would save him quite a bit of time.

"Then take me to him. He'll become one of you as well," Minamoto Takuya said immediately.

"Yes!" the Snow Ninja Trio answered at once, without the slightest hesitation.

What was Kazahana Dōtō worth? If they truly compared strength, he was not even a match for Nadare Rōga. He had only been qualified to lead them before because of his status.

Now that Minamoto Takuya had arrived and held their lives in his hands, Kazahana Dōtō should naturally step down in their eyes.

The Snow Ninja Trio then led Minamoto Takuya smoothly into the Snow Ninja Village. No Snow Ninja dared stop them along the way; after all, the three of them held the highest positions in the village.

Kazahana Dōtō stood before the window, quietly waiting for the Snow Ninja Trio to return in
