"Who are you!?"
Dotō All the muscles in his body tensed up at this moment. He looked at the young man opposite him with a cold look and asked in a very sinister tone.
The young man obviously had no intention of taking Dotō seriously. He gently put down the young girl in his arms, then looked sideways at Kazahana Sōsetsu who was standing behind him with an expression of disbelief and said with a chuckle, "My lord, please forgive me. I'm late, but fortunately everything is not in the worst situation yet. Your Highness, everything is fine, including your subordinates. I also asked them to hide for the time being, and leave the rest of the matter to me. I promise that this mission will be completed successfully!"
"Koyuki? Are you Koyuki? Koyuki?"
At this moment, Kazahana Sōsetsu's eyes were obviously just the young girl that the boy had just put down from his arms. When the young girl landed, she immediately ran towards Sōsetsu's arms.
"Father!"
When she threw herself into Sōsetsu's arms, the little girl burst into tears instantly. Her trembling body, slightly pale face, and pitiful eyes all proved how scared and helpless the little girl looked before she saw her father.
At this moment, when she saw her father again, all her emotions were released at once, and this little girl was obviously the only daughter of Kazahana Sōsetsu, the princess who had the first line of succession to Snow Country.
"Koyuki! My Koyuki! Great! Great! You're okay! It's great that nothing happened to you!"
Feeling the warmth in his arms and holding his daughter tightly, Sōsetsu truly felt the reality at this moment!
It was finally time to let go.
It is also a posture of reason and calmness that can be slowly restored.
Finally, Sōsetsu was able to notice the existence of the young man in front of him.
"Thank you very much, are you?"
Sōsetsu, who straightened his body again, looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of gratitude, doubt, and a little hidden vigilance and worry.
The young man smiled and waved his hands indifferently and said, "I, Uchiha Shōji, this time, under the order of my village Lord Tsuchikage, accepted the employment of the daimyo, and came to perform the task of guarding!"
"Eh? Uchiha Shōji? Iwagakure? Are you Mr. Jōnin sent by Lord Tsuchikage?"
This is when Sōsetsu reacted. He finally saw Iwagakure Ninja Forehead Protector on Shōji's forehead. Although he still had other worries, but in Seeing that the boy came on behalf of Iwagakure, and his performance just now proved to some extent that the boy was a powerful ninja, Sōsetsu could finally feel relieved, and his expression softened a lot at this moment.
"Yes, I am the executor of this mission! It seems that some minor problems have indeed occurred in your country, but don't worry, since I accepted the mission, I will handle all these problems together!"
The young man, also known as Shōji, raised his eyebrows and nodded with a faint smile.
It should be said that fortunately Shōji's previous judgment was decisive enough and he did not hesitate at all when he detected the rebellion of Rin City.
He rushed towards the location of Fenghua City. Kankan arrived half an hour ago. He happened to encounter the remaining guards and the minister of Snow Kingdom who were planning to lead Fenghua Xiaoxue to break out. They were surrounded by rebels. They eliminated these rebel generals in three strikes, five and two. At first, he planned to let the guards continue to protect Xiaoxue to another safe place. Later, he was worried that something might happen, so he decided to protect Xiaoxue himself. Then he took Xiaoxue directly to the palace of the daimyo.
Arriving just in time before Dotō was about to seriously injure Sōsetsu.
Easily use Earth Release's technique to block Dotō's attack.
Although it is indeed a bit troublesome for one person to protect two people and deal with so many enemies, but that is based on the fact that there is not much difference in the strength between the enemy and ourselves. Now let alone Snow Ninja's background, the two strongest Dotō and Rōga are at most the level of Elite Jōnin.
Not only can I Shadow Clone, but at worst I can use Susanoo to block the front, and it is more than enough to protect Sōsetsu and Koyuki father and daughter behind me. It is much better than leaving Koyuki to others to protect. As for the guards and the objections of the person named 'Uhyōe', Shōji has no time to deal with it.
Mission Objective: Saving the lives of Kazahana Sōsetsu and Kazahana Koyuki is his top priority.
"Huh? Well, if possible, would it be more appropriate to retreat here? If it's troublesome, you can just take the little girl away. Master Jōnin doesn't need to care about my problem."
Although I feel that Jōnin, who is Five Great Shinobi Villages, should be quite powerful, and Kazahana Sōsetsu, as a famous name, has also heard of Uchiha Shōji's reputation, but still, compared with Jiraiya, a ninja who has been famous for a long time, Shōji is still too young, besides, Sōsetsu is not really a member of Shinobi World. It is difficult to define how strong Shōji is. Subconsciously, you will feel that even if Shōji is stronger than his brother Dotō, there are so many rebellious Snow Ninja on the opposite side. It is not a wise move to outnumber the enemy.
The safest choice is to retreat here. Even at this moment, Shōji is directly called 'Master Jōnin'. You must know that in terms of social status and identity, Sōsetsu is far higher than Shōji. From here, you can see Sōsetsu's heart at this moment.
"No! I don't want to be separated from my father, absolutely not!"
In the lower position, Koyuki, who was holding her father's right hand tightly and grabbing the lapel of Sōsetsu's clothes, heard the words of Sōsetsu and Shōji, and her little face suddenly showed anxiety and uneasiness. She no longer wanted to experience what she had experienced before, and now she just wanted to be with her father.
"Be obedient, Koyuki! This is not the time for willfulness!"
Sōsetsu was also very reluctant to let go of his daughter, but obviously he didn't have a choice here. He patted his daughter's little head gently with a touch of gentleness and spoke in a gentle tone as much as possible.
"Haha, you don't need to worry at all, Lord Daimyo. The task I received is to ensure the safety of Lord Daimyo, your father and your daughter. Please feel free to leave some rebels to me. Please believe me, because you are trusting us Lord Tsuchikage, Iwagakure, one of our Five Great Shinobi Villages!"
When Sōsetsu raised his head and wanted to say something else.
Shōji just smiled gently, with a look of confidence on his face, and when the words fell loudly.
The Sōsetsu in front of him couldn't help but be startled, subconsciously feeling infected.
There seems to be a sense of peace of mind and trust deep in my heart.
"Then, I'll leave it to you, Master Jōnin!"
Sōsetsu took a deep breath, held his daughter's little hand, bowed deeply to Shōji, and took Kazahana Koyuki to take a few steps back.
