Snow Country's Secret Treasure

Feng glanced at Kazahana Dōtō, who could do nothing but rage helplessly, then scanned the other Land of Snow researchers being brought before him, a smile playing on his lips:

"Princess Snow, could you please give me the Hexagonal Crystal Necklace that you always carry with you?"

"We'll take your uncle to see the Snow Country's Secret Treasure that he's been longing to see."

Upon hearing this, Kazahana Koyuki did not hesitate and immediately took off her necklace, walking towards Feng to hand it to him.

While the other party was handing over the necklace, Feng looked at Uchiha Kenjiro, Chiyo, Ebizo.

"Jiro, take these researchers down and have a 'good' talk with them, try to persuade them all to surrender."

Ebizo, you will take half of the ninjas and be in charge of the Castle's security.

Chiyo, let's go together to see the great treasure of the Land of Snow.

"Hehe, maybe it can solve the water shortage problem in the Land of Wind."

At this point, Kazahana Koyuki handed the Hexagonal Crystal Necklace, which served as the key to the secret treasure, to Feng.

"Our former Sovereign of the Land of Snow, will you lead the way?"

Little Snow Princess, let's go, together!

Feng casually tossed the necklace aside, his smile growing even wider.

He was really looking forward to seeing Kazahana Dōtō's expression when he saw the so-called secret treasure.

Feng also planned to use that thing to completely break his spirit, so that he could better control the other party to work for him and focus on research, instead of wasting his energy on being a minor Sovereign.

According to various intelligence reports, the advanced technologies of the Land of Snow, such as cars, trains, airships, and Chakra Armor, were all developed under the supervision of Kazahana Dōtō.

The great treasure of the Land of Snow lies on an ice field where more than a dozen enormous ice walls stand.

As Feng inserted the hexagonal crystal into a specially made altar in the middle of the ice field, all the ice walls began to emit a rainbow of light, with the largest ice wall shining almost as brightly as the sun in the Land of Snow.

"So this is the secret treasure. The commotion from its opening is so huge; what's guarding it inside..."

Unfortunately, all of this will belong to someone else.

Upon seeing this Kazahana Dōtō opened his eyes wide, his expression a mixture of sorrow and joy, and he murmured to himself.

"This looks like an incredibly valuable item!"

Chiyo was also misled by this top-notch opening 'special effects'.

Then... after a while...

After all the shimmering light disappeared, the ice and snow on the ice plains began to melt rapidly, and the soil layer that had almost never been seen before in the Land of Snow gradually appeared in people's view.

And then... that was it.

Kazahana Dōtō's expression changed again, revealing an incredulous look. He stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

"Is this the secret treasure of the Land of Snow?"

Lord Feng, I don't see how it can be of any use to the Land of Wind.

Chiyo then turned her head and looked at Feng with a puzzled expression.

As for Kazahana Koyuki, she was watching a video of herself and her father from her childhood being played on the altar, lost in memories of the past.

"Chiyo, don't just look at things superficially."

This Geothermal System can only change the landscape of the Land of Snow; it does nothing to benefit the Land of Wind.

But haven't you ever thought about what all that melting snow is? Where does it go?

Upon hearing this, Feng shook his head in disdain at the other party's intelligence and gave them a slight hint.

"?" Chiyo still looked completely bewildered.

"Sigh, you really can't rely on a ninja's brains."

Feng rubbed his head speechlessly, then continued to explain:

"After the snow melts, it's all water, fresh water!"

Thanks to this Geothermal System, the Land of Snow will continuously melt the ice and snow in its territory.

The Land of Snow is located near the Arctic Circle, and its abundance of Land of Snow means that it is continuously producing fresh water.

Now no one cares, and the freshwater that melted is probably flowing into the surrounding sea.

But what if we dug a canal from here straight through to the Land of Wind?

The freshwater wasted flowing into the sea can all flow into the Land of Wind.

The fresh water that the Land of Snow produces continuously flows to the Land of Wind.

The water shortage problem in the Land of Wind was easily solved, and some deserts and wastelands could be transformed into fertile fields.

Chiyo: "?!!!!!"

As Feng gradually explained, Chiyo's expression changed from doubt to surprise, then to delight, and finally to a wide smile.

Then, she rubbed her hands together, walked up to Feng, and said in an extremely obsequious tone:

"Lord Feng, please don't take offense at an old woman like me who's about to die."

Um... I wanted to ask when the canal will be repaired.

"How about tomorrow? If you think it's too late, I'll go back to Sunagakure right now to get people, and we can start work tonight."

Don't get so close.

Feng reached out to stop the other person from getting closer and also shouted to stop them.

Chiyo's current expression would be fine if she were a young and pretty girl, but as a woman in her seventies, it's rather an eyesore.

Then, to prevent the other party from continuing to pollute his view, he quickly explained:

"The canal needs to be built, but it can't be built just like that. There are four other countries between the Land of Wind and the Land of Snow: the Bear Country, the Ghost Country, the Demon Country, and the Silent Country."

No matter how the route is planned, building a canal will require passing through at least two of these countries.

If we just fix it directly, not to mention whether they'd be willing to do it, even if it's fixed, they could still use it to control us at any time.

"You're willing? I definitely wouldn't."

"It's alright! Sir, please proceed with your plans."

"Hmph! If anyone disagrees, I'll bring the entire Sunagakure to negotiate with them."

Chiyo snorted angrily and replied with unwavering resolve.

Her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she spoke.

She had lived in Land of Wind, the Sunagakure, for decades and knew how important water was to the Land of Wind.

At this moment, if anyone dares to stop her from building this canal to save the country, she can lead the entire Sunagakure, and even more broadly, persuade ninety percent of the Land of Wind to fight the enemy to the death.

"Don't worry, now that I've brought it up, I naturally have a good solution."

It will be resolved in a few days. The Land of Wind has been short of water for so many years, a little longer won't make a difference.

Moreover, I don't just plan to build one canal.

After all, the Ninja World isn't just about the Land of Snow where there's so much water.

Chiyo was stunned upon hearing this.

Then his eyes widened instantly, stunned by Feng's idea—a shocking surprise, of course.

"Lord Feng, from now on, Sunagakure will follow your lead."

Then, unexpectedly, she knelt down on one knee in front of Feng.

Sunagakure Village has been established for over sixty years, while the Land of Wind has a history spanning over a thousand years. All the people living in the Land of Wind only know how to desperately exploit and squeeze the already scarce resources of that land, exacerbating the poverty of the Land of Wind, and then trying to escape from it.

Yet not a single person has ever thought of solving the extreme water shortage problem in the Land of Wind, or of building and changing it.

Now, that person has appeared, although he recently seized power in the Land of Wind through a rebellion.

But what they are about to do now exceeds the contributions that all the people living in the Land of Wind have made to that land over the past thousand years.

Therefore, at this moment, Chiyo knelt willingly, her determination to pledge allegiance unwavering.

"Hey, get up, get up right now, this isn't acceptable under my command."

Moreover, there's no need for empty promises of loyalty; I prefer to see actions, not words.

Feng quickly helped the woman up. In his previous life, being knelt on by a woman in her seventies would have immediately drawn widespread condemnation.
