Iori's eyes fell softly on Kazahana Koyuki, and he said gently, "Yes, I will be your guard these days."
He noticed the hexagonal crystal hanging around Koyuki's neck. The crystal clear gem shimmered in the sunlight.
Obviously Kazahana Sōsetsu had already prepared for the worst and pinned his hopes on his daughter.
"Please protect her, please." Kazahana Sōsetsu said solemnly.
"Don't worry, since I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you." Iori smiled, holding his hands Hand Seals: "Wood Release·Wood Clone Technique."
"During this period, they will protect you." He said, and following Iori's words, his clones began to take action.
The clones Hand Seals said, "Earth Release·The art of reflecting fish in the soil." Then they sneaked into the soil and secretly protected Kazahana Sōsetsu and Asama Sandayū.
The other two clones quickly went to various places and began to collect information on Kazahana Dōtō.
Looking at Iori's movements, Kazahana Sōsetsu said, "Let Koyuki take you to familiarize yourself with the surroundings later. Please take this time."
Iori nodded, said goodbye to Kazahana Sōsetsu, then turned around and left with Kazahana Koyuki.
"Mr. Ninja, what's your name?" Koyuki asked, looking at Iori, with a faint blush on his cheeks, like the first blooming cherry blossoms.
"My name is Uchiha Iori, Your Highness the Princess." Iori said with a smile.
"Is something going to happen to you, father? I noticed that something is wrong in the palace recently. Suddenly there are a lot of new faces." Koyuki said with some distress.
"Really? Where are they probably concentrated?" Iori raised his brows slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Now he is short of information, and now it seems that someone is coming to deliver information.
"That area." Koyuki pointed to the south of Daming Mansion.
Iori nodded, clapped his hands, and another Wood Clone emerged from his body and walked towards that side.
"Let's go, he will help us figure it out." Iori took her hand and walked outside.
Looking at Iori, Koyuki suddenly asked curiously, "What is the outside world like? What is spring like?"
Land of Snow has ice and snow all year round, and only a small amount of land can be cultivated. Food mainly relies on fishing, hunting and imports. Land of Demons and Land of Bears are their main trading partners.
Koyuki has never witnessed the scene of spring since he was born.
Iori said softly, "When the spring breeze blows over the earth, colorful flowers will bloom one after another, trees will sprout new buds, and everything will exude vitality."
"It's great. My father said that he would bring spring to Land of Snow. I really hope he can succeed. I also want to see spring." Koyuki tilted his head, with longing in his eyes.
"Do you want to see spring?" Iori suddenly said to her mysteriously.
"Of course, do you have any idea?" Koyuki asked curiously.
"Then hold on tight to me." Iori suddenly picked her up, jumped hard, and their bodies soared into the air.
Koyuki's heartbeat accelerated, she clutched Iori's arm tightly, and screamed instinctively, but her voice was soon drowned by the wind.
After a while, the screaming stopped suddenly, and Koyuki felt that he was not falling.
She slowly opened her eyes and found that she was standing on a golden spaceship, surrounded by a clear sky, and the spaceship was sailing slowly in the sky.
"How does it feel?" Iori said softly. Koyuki looked around curiously. She walked to the edge of the spacecraft and looked out.
Viewed from a high altitude, the earth becomes so small, as if the whole world is under her feet.
"Do you feel that humans are as small as ants?" Iori asked with a smile.
Koyuki nodded excitedly. Flying is one of mankind's dreams. Land of Snow The current airship has not yet been developed. This is her first time in the air.
After flying far away from the capital, Iori slowly landed on the ground in Vimana.
Koyuki asked curiously, "What are you going to do? Use ninjutsu to summon spring?"
Iori's smile was full of confidence, "Look, this is a miracle dedicated to you."
"Wood Release·Deep Forest Emergence." The trees broke through the ice and exposed the ground. Under the power of Wood Release, the entire land was turned over.
After turning the ice into the earth, Iori Hand Seals again. "Wood Release·The art of the sea of flowers."
Following his words, green grass and colorful flowers quickly grew on the earth. The flowers were in full bloom and beautiful.
"Is this spring?" Koyuki squatted down curiously, reached out and picked a flower, and smelled it gently. The fragrance of the flower was overflowing and refreshing.
[Hmph, this is a skill I have carefully developed to pick up girls. Although I have only used it twice, it has been well received.]
Iori looked calm on the surface, but when he saw Koyuki's expression, he felt very proud in his heart.
"Brother, do you think my father can succeed? I hope everyone can see the arrival of spring. It would be great if this scenery could appear often."
Koyuki turned to look at Iori, secretly changed his name, and said expectantly.
Iori stretched out his hand and said to her, "Let's make a promise. I will help you win and bring spring, and you will lead Land of Snow to join us one day in the future."
"Okay." Koyuki agreed without thinking too much.
Iori is not lying to children, unification Ninja World is imperative, and we will not make way for some people. If we can reduce resistance and save some people from dying, that would be good.
not long ago
Iori, who learned about the gathering place of strange faces, separated Wood Clone and headed to the south area of the palace.
After entering the South District, Iori saw through these people's poor disguises at a glance.
The calluses on their hands, the pace when they walked, and the unconcealable smell of blood in their eyes all silently told their true identities, either bandits or ninjas.
"My lord, what are you doing here?" A man came forward with a flattering smile.
Iori looked at him coldly, with a sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth, and said, "How about you tell me who you are and what is the purpose of coming to Land of Snow Daming Mansion?"
The smile on the man's face froze, and then he showed some surprise. He pretended to be surprised and said:
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? We are all serious workers here to repair the building."
But even if Sharingan was not turned on, his small movements could not escape the eyes of Iori. The man secretly put his hands behind his back, giving a warning gesture to the people behind him.
As the two talked, other people slowly gathered around Iori from all directions.
