Zou Hyuga was not making things up. Both Kazahana Sōsetsu and Kazahana Dōtō possessed considerable talent.
Kazahana Dōtō had developed Chakra Armor, which could greatly enhance a ninja's combat strength, but its high production costs prevented widespread use.
Perhaps the Five Great Shinobi Villages had long known about technologies such as Chakra Armor as well.
It was simply that, in skirmishes, Chakra Armor was less economical than ordinary ninja, while in large-scale battles, it fell far short of elite jonin and the Five Kage.
To put it bluntly, the Five Kage and ninja of comparable strength could single-handedly wipe out a small country's shinobi village.
After all, ninja at that level could more or less hold their own against tailed beasts, and as for the destructive power of tailed beasts...
As for Kazahana Sōsetsu, although Zou Hyuga had never met him, the Geothermal Heater offered a glimpse of his talent.
The Geothermal Heater ran not on electricity, but on chakra and the natural energy that existed everywhere. This technology was at least ten years ahead of the shinobi world.
After spending several hours in the valley, Zou Hyuga did not return to the city in the Land of Snow. Instead, he set off on his journey out of the country.
Watching Zou Hyuga and Haku disappear across the snowfield, Kazahana Dōtō's smile gave way entirely to a grave expression.
His icy gaze swept over the surrounding snow ninja, making them all shudder as they worried about what he would do next.
Although Kazahana Dōtō had behaved mildly in front of Zou Hyuga, that was only because he lacked the strength to do otherwise.
Here in the Land of Snow, far from the heart of the shinobi continent, he was the undisputed ruler.
Soon, Kazahana Dōtō's gaze settled on Nadare Rōga.
