The group of people walked through the thick snow and walked into the only small hotel in the town.
Behind the counter was an uncle wrapped in thick clothes. He looked at the arrangement of four people and said, "Two rooms? Separate for men and women?"
Seeing Yūto nodding, he took out two keys. "Turn left on the third floor. Hot water is only available until eight o'clock in the evening."
As soon as I put down my luggage, Chino's stomach started growling.
She immediately turned around and looked at Yūto, "Teacher, I'm hungry."
Although Quan and Itachi didn't speak, it was clear from their expressions that they also wanted to eat something.
Yūto nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to have a massage."
"The teacher is so nice!"
When the four of them went downstairs, they happened to encounter several villagers gathered around the stove, speaking in extremely low voices:
"I heard that Master Dotō arrested a dozen more opponents."
"Shh! Keep your voice down, those ninjas in black armor may be somewhere listening."
Chino's ears twitched and he immediately grabbed Yūto's sleeve. "Teacher! They said there is a coup here!"
Although her voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly when it rang out in the empty hotel lobby, making the villagers tremble collectively.
The villagers looked around in panic and lowered their voices. "Little girl, please speak more quietly! People are being arrested everywhere recently."
Chino blinked his big eyes, approached the villager and asked in a low voice, "Who is that Kazahana Dōtō? Why is he so arrogant?"
"Alas," the villager sighed, "He is the biological brother of Land of Snow Daimyō. He led a group of ninjas to rebel a few days ago and surrounded Capital. Now those who oppose him are being arrested everywhere, and even those who say the wrong thing will be imprisoned."
"This is too bad!" Chino stomped her feet angrily. Her ancestor was caught casually. Hell Valley, "What's the point of catching someone casually!"
"Shh!" The villagers turned pale with fright and waved their hands quickly, "Little girl, please keep your voice down! If the patrol hears it, we will all be doomed!"
He looked around nervously and lowered his voice to persuade, "Seeing as you are foreigners, listen to my advice and leave Land of Snow as soon as possible. This place is too dangerous now. If you are taken away as a spy,"
Yūto was thinking about whether to educate his disciples on the political situation of Land of Snow, when he suddenly heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from the distance.
"Oops! It's a patrol!" The villagers' expressions changed drastically, and they turned around and ran away.
Chino grabbed him with quick eyes and hands. "Uncle, don't be afraid, we are here!"
Yūto saw this and quickly held down her head. "Don't be impulsive."
He turned to the villagers and said gently, "Thank you for reminding me, we will leave now."
After the villagers ran away in panic, Quan asked in a low voice, "Master Yūto, do we really want to leave?"
"Leave?" Yūto grinned, "I promised to take you on a trip, so how can I leave?"
"But if you are scared, we can go back."
Hearing this, Chino immediately stated his position, "I'm not afraid. If that Kazahana Dōtō dares to mess with me, then I will beat him up!"
Yūto rubbed Chino's hair, "But before that, you have to fill your stomach first. The teacher will take you to eat local specialties and ask for news while eating!"
Chino cheered, and the indignation he felt just now was instantly diluted by the temptation of delicious food. "That's great!"
Izumi covered her mouth and snickered, while Itachi shook his head helplessly.
After the four of them finished eating, they strolled back to the hotel leisurely. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the clanging sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Chino looked over his head and immediately became furious. "Hey! What are you doing?!"
I saw several patrols wearing heavy armor rummaging through their luggage. One of them grabbed the hotel owner by the collar and asked fiercely, "Tell me! Where are those four foreigners?"
Quan's face suddenly darkened. "Why are you rummaging through our things?"
The patrol team looked back and saw two little girls. They burst into laughter. "Hahaha, they are here!"
The strong man in the lead looked at them with disdain, "Young girl, you are pretty cool? Come with us and avoid suffering!"
Chino was furious. "You bastards!"
Without saying anything, she turned on Ketsuryūgan directly.
The patrol members' eyes were dazzled when they suddenly saw the petite girl in front of them turn into a ferocious ghost. They were so scared that their legs went weak. "Ghost, ghost!"
Taking advantage of their daze, Chino rushed forward and kicked the leading strong man away, hitting him against the wall.
Quan was not idle either, with both hands Hand Seals: "Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
The blazing fireball flew past the helmets of the remaining patrol members, directly baking their helmets red.
Several people screamed from the heat and hurriedly took off their helmets.
Itachi stood aside and added a Shuriken. With a few clanging sounds, he accurately nailed their cloaks, making them unable to move.
Yūto leaned against the door frame, "Not bad, not bad. They cooperate very well."
Chino stamped his foot angrily. "Teacher! They bully people!"
Quan Ye frowned and said, "These people are so unreasonable. They arrest people without even saying a word."
Yūto shrugged. "It seems we are being targeted."
He walked over, knelt down and patted the face of the patrol member who was scared to death by Genjutsu, "Hey, tell me, who sent you here?"
The man trembled and replied, "Yes, it's the patrol captain. We received a report that someone was secretly opposed to Mr. Dotō"
He stood up and waved to the three disciples, "Okay, pack your things, we can't stay in this place anymore."
Chino muttered while picking up his luggage, "Really, what a good Land of Snow, who was made such a mess by this group of people!"
Quan helped her sort out the messed up clothes and said helplessly, "It seems we have to change our stay."
Itachi silently took back the Shuriken nailed to the wall, glanced at the patrol members lying on the ground, and said coldly, "If you dare to follow me again, it won't be that simple next time."
Several people nodded in fear, rolled and crawled away.
The four of them were walking on the street of Land of Snow. Yūto pretended to think for a moment and sighed:
"It seems that Land of Snow is not in peace now. How about we go back? We are here for tourism anyway, so we can go somewhere else."
"Go back?" Chino was unhappy upon hearing this, "No!"
She grabbed Yūto's sleeve and said, "We all saw it. Those patrol members were very vicious and even rummaged through other people's things!"
Izumi nodded seriously. "Yes, Mr. Yūto, now that we have encountered it, we can't just sit idly by."
Yūto laughed secretly in his heart, but pretended to be embarrassed on the outside:
"But this is someone else's country after all, so it would be inappropriate for us to meddle rashly, right? Besides, we are here to travel, not to perform tasks..."
Chino and Izumi looked at each other and said in unison, "No! It must be taken care of!"
Chino clenched his little fists and was filled with righteous indignation. "That Kazahana Dōtō is so bad! He arrests people at will and bullies the people. He must be taught a lesson!"
It's rare for Quan Ye to be enthusiastic. "Yes! You can't let such a wicked person go!"
Yūto The corners of his mouth raised slightly, this is what you said yourself, I am not cheating you.
He spread his hands pretending to be helpless. "Okay, okay, since you are so insistent, how about we take care of it for a little bit?"
Chino Izumi immediately cheered. "Great!"
