Although Kazahana Sōsetsu kindly invited Shōji to stay for a few more days, and even offered to personally act as a tour guide to lead Shōji to visit some of Snow Country's more magnificent scenic areas, Shōji still declined politely. Seeing Shōji's insistence, Sōsetsu didn't say much.
Instead, in the afternoon of that day, he deliberately turned down all government affairs, just to send off Shōji in person. Outside the main city gate of Kazehana Castle, there were not only the daimyo Kazahana Sōsetsu, but also the only legal heir of Snow Country at the moment - Kazahana Koyuki, and the only remaining important minister Haraue Masamune and other high-level nobles, dignitaries and others also arrived. This was a kind of respect and gratitude from Kazahana Sōsetsu to Shōji. Regardless of how these people viewed Shōji deep down, at least at this moment, they were all smiling to see off Shōji on the surface.
This was not only the order of the daimyo Kazahana Sōsetsu, but also because of Shōji's status and terrifying strength as Iwagakure Ninja. In the past few days, even if the news was blocked, Snow Country's high-ranking nobles and dignitaries knew exactly what happened in the coup that day.
When I think of hundreds of Snow Ninja, especially Kazahana Dōtō and Nadare Rōga, who were originally terrifying existences that looked like hell demons to ordinary Snow Country nobles, they were easily killed by Shōji alone.
When these people saw the slightly green face of Shōji, no one dared to show even a trace of contempt.
It is true that nobles have the pride of nobles, but nobles also have the intelligence of nobles. Don't be deceived by some third-rate works. You always feel that all the children of wealthy nobles are fat-headed idiots. It can be said that these people receive the highest level of elite education. Generally speaking, there may not be geniuses, but there is definitely no shortage of smart people!
They know very well what judgments they should make under what circumstances.
Although these people are not likely to be noticed, at least they will not appear to be so annoying. Don't expect that there will be so many people in the world who provide help in times of trouble. Most of them are the icing on the cake or the people who add insult to injury.
Moreover, they still belong to two people in "different worlds", and Shōji has no need to care about this.
Just because 'order' is the most important factor in maintaining the stability of a world, no matter how strong a person is, they cannot take the lead in destroying it, otherwise the world will be in danger of falling apart. This is the biggest reason why Shōji chooses to solve problems within a 'reasonable framework' as much as possible. When facing different people and different things, they should use different attitudes and methods to deal with them.
This is the most reasonable choice.
"Then, I will be rude here and please stop, Daimyo-sama!"
Standing outside the city gate, facing Snow Country's rare sunny weather in March high in the sky, Shōji looked at Kazahana Sōsetsu standing opposite him with a faint smile and said softly.
"Well, then I wish Mr. Shōji a safe journey! If there is still a chance, I will invite Mr. Shōji to visit Snow Country once in the future. Then let me do my best as a landlord!"
Although four or five days have passed since the rebellion, and the bodies of Kazahana Dōtō and those who rebelled have been thoroughly cleaned up, for Kazahana Sōsetsu who was already prepared to die at that time, all this seems like yesterday. It is not that there is no authority, but people like Kazahana Sōsetsu will be more honest and straightforward.
The gratitude expressed in his words was vividly and sincerely reflected by this daimyo.
"Yes, it's my pleasure!"
Shōji responded Responded with a smile in his eyes.
"Brother Shouji-nii! Absolutely! Absolutely come! Until then, Koyuki will be your tour guide!"
In the lower position, Kazahana Koyuki, who was holding his father's big hand, stood on tiptoes as much as possible at this moment, raised his little head, and looked at Shōji with a look of expectancy and seriousness on his seemingly young but beautiful and dignified little face.
Children in their early years are often easily guided by their elders, admiring and learning from those they think are heroes. This is an instinct hidden deep in the hearts of humans, or should be said to be all intelligent creatures!
She probably doesn't even know what kind of feelings the seven-year-old Kazahana Koyuki has for the fifteen-year-old Shōji, and it is even more unclear at this stage. But the only thing that is certain is that, in addition to getting rid of her father Kazahana Sōsetsu, Uchiha Shōji has penetrated deeply into the heart of Kazahana Koyuki.
Gratitude, respect, admiration, or even other slightly different emotions.
What the future will be like depends on future development.
And Shōji at the moment will definitely not think so much. Not to mention that she is only fifteen years old in this life, Kazahana Koyuki is only seven years old, so it is impossible to think wrongly. She just thinks that this Princess Snow Country is quite cute Shōji, bent down slightly, smiled and gently touched Kazahana Koyuki's little head and said, "Well, if I have time, I will definitely come to see Koyuki. Then let Koyuki take my brother to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Snow Country!"
"Yeah! Did you agree?"
"Yeah! It's agreed!"
With a soft look, Shōji smiled and said this to Kazahana Koyuki as if he were looking at his younger brother or sister, then straightened his body and bowed slightly to Kazahana Sōsetsu.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment.
With a straight movement, he left the place and headed towards the port city of 'Rin City' located in the south of Kazehana Castle.
If you come by boat, you will definitely need to return by boat.
Snow Country is an island country located far away from the mainland. Even the nearest Land of Lightning and Land of Water require about two days of voyage, not to mention Land of Earth, Land of Wind and Land of Fire, although this world is also similar to the earth.
But if you go around from the other side, you will have to pass through a wider sea area!
Shōji definitely needs to return to Land of Earth by boat. Originally, the best option would be to land at Land of Lightning and then return to Land of Earth from land. This is the shortest route. However, due to the tense relationship between Five Great Nations, and especially during the period just after Third Shinobi World War, it is absolutely impossible for Shōji, as Uchiha Clan, and Iwagakure Ninja to return to Land of Earth from Land of Lightning. Once the information is leaked, it will simply be to find something to do for yourself!
The best option would be to go around from the more northern area.
And on top of the voyage.
Shōji has also been thinking about how he should report the corresponding information and next plans to his Lord Third Tsuchikage.
Although Shōji is certain that Lord Tsuchikage, who is old but still ambitious, will most likely accept his proposal.
But I still want to make the details as perfect as possible.
