"Yes, but the information from Intelligence Division confirms that the current situation of Snow Country is relatively stable. The daimyo probably just wanted to have an extra layer of insurance. He originally planned to let Bunya go, but he happened to be called by our daimyo two days ago. It's hard for you to make a trip this time, Shōji."
Although Snow Country is only a medium-sized country, after all, it involves important diplomatic aspects. Compared with the "shadow", Kazahana Sōsetsu's identity is nominally more noble. Just looking at this point of view, Ōnoki will not interfere with this national-level mission.
Letting Shōji take this trip also has the meaning of killing two birds with one stone.
"Haha, Lord Third is serious. This is also my duty. Then I will go back and make preparations first!"
Snow Country is just the dregs in Snow Country, Shōji doesn't take it to heart at all. Besides, after this period of recuperation, it is indeed time to relax. Nadare Rōga and Kazahana Dōtō are also good opponents at the Jōnin level, just for moving and moving the body.
And if there are no big changes in the future, Shōji's ambitions in this world are very big. Snow Country is not a rich country, but in terms of geographical location and from a military perspective, it has its own unique advantages.
Especially in dealing with Land of Lightning and Land of Water.
People who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries.
Even if it is just to explore the spots in advance, this trip to Snow Country is very meaningful.
"Well, go ahead!"
"Yes!"
After Ōnoki raised his eyebrows and waved his hand.
Shōji also bowed slightly, and the next moment, he straightened up and disappeared from the place.
On the way back home, Shōji was also thinking about how far he would go with his mission this time. He must take necessary precautions. In any case, it was a small ninja village. Those who could fight could bring out hundreds of people. There is still no problem, plus Kazahana Dōtō and Nadare Rōga, these two characters can be regarded as mini-bosses for the time being. If I am really careless, of course with my own strength, there will be no problem with my own safety.
But it is very likely to cause the mission to fail.
I am much stronger than Kakashi in this period. It would be ridiculous if Kazahana Sōsetsu died in the civil strife. Strategically, I can despise my opponents, but I still need to be cautious and vigilant in specific tactics.
Especially since the plot here has changed. God knows whether Kazahana Dōtō will collude with foreign forces. If this involves the ninjas of Kumogakure and Kirigakure, the level of trouble will increase exponentially.
'It's better to be prepared for the worst. Saving the lives of Kazahana Sōsetsu and Kazahana Koyuki is the best thing. We'll talk about the rest later! '
Looking at his home station so close, Shōji's pupils flashed with a faint and bright color.
The next day.
Iwagakure is located at the main entrance.
There was a carriage and more than ten figures standing there, with the leader wearing services that only high-level political figures from various countries were qualified to wear.
The slightly weathered face cannot hide the aura of luxury on his body. At first glance, he is a person who has been in a high position all year round. This person is Snow Country Imperial Minister-Haraue Masamune, who takes the name of Kazahana Sōsetsu and represents Snow Country to come to Iwagakure to issue a 'guard mission'.
As Snow Country, he has served as a high-ranking official in Snow Country seven provinces for several generations. This Imperial Minister also has a high reputation and power in Snow Country, and as Kazahana Sōsetsu The minister that E relies on the most, in the absence of the regent Guan Bai and the minister of Taizheng in Snow Country, Haraue Masamune is already the third-ranked minister in Snow Country's officialdom. There are only two ministers on the left and right.
Moreover, in terms of the level of confidants, this Lord Harusato is Kazahana Sōsetsu's confidant, otherwise the important task of coming to Snow Country in secret this time would not have fallen on his head!
At this time, the seemingly stable face of Lord Harusato also showed a hint of anxiety. The situation inside Snow Country was far from as stable as it seemed to outsiders. In Haraue Masamune's view, his own monarch was still too merciful. This would give unnecessary opportunities and extravagant hopes to those ungrateful people!
And this Lord Harusato has a deeper view than Kazahana Sōsetsu. Although he does not think that all his subordinates Snow Ninja will completely betray Kazahana Sōsetsu as a daimyo, he still feels that some preparations must be made in advance. Let Kazahana Sōsetsu "request foreign aid" is the result of this Imperial Minister's efforts.
It's always good to have at least an extra layer of insurance, right? This is money that must be spent and cannot be spared.
The same is true for choosing Iwagakure. As the victor in Third Shinobi World War, now he has accepted Uchiha Clan. The power of Iwagakure is unmatched, but at this moment this Imperial Minister is obviously worried about Iwagakure. Which Jōnin will be sent to perform the mission? As a country's Imperial Minister, Haraue Masamune's understanding of ninjas must be much better than ordinary people. He also clearly knows that there is a big difference between Jōnin and Jōnin.
However, in yesterday's meeting, Third Tsuchikage only said that he would definitely send the top Jōnin to perform the task, and did not directly explain who it was. This was not because Ōnoki did this intentionally, but because he himself had not really determined who to carry out the task, so he certainly could not tell his employer directly.
After waiting for an extra half day, Third Tsuchikage naturally did not feel the need to send someone to make a deliberate trip to inform Lord Harusato of the person to carry out the task. This led to Mr. Imperial Minister being somewhat worried about the outcome at the moment, although he felt that with his identity as Third Tsuchikage, he would not deliberately fool them Snow Country.
But many times, human beings are creatures that are very calm once they are on the outside, and it is difficult to think rationally when they are trapped in the game.
Naturally, this former minister was no exception.
This is one of the reasons why the former minister arrived early even though the gathering time had not yet come.
"Whoosh!"
And after waiting for almost half an hour, it was almost time to gather.
Not far away.
A slender and straight figure flashed over.
When he landed on the ground.
When Lord Harusato's eyes came into view, he saw a handsome face with a hint of youthfulness.
This Lord Harusato was overjoyed at first, and then subconsciously showed a hint of disappointment in the depths of his pupils.
The reason is very simple. The person who came here is too young, so young that he is even several years younger than Imperial Minister's own son.
Although there is no shortage of geniuses on Shinobi World, in Five Great Shinobi Villages there are also geniuses who became famous in Shinobi World in their teens.
But those are the minority after all.
Being so young can be Jōnin. Lord Harusato will naturally not doubt that the person coming is Iwagakure's genius, but being young means not having much experience and skills. In most cases, compared with those experienced and mature Jōnin, the gap is still very obvious.
