"Focus on developing the Land of Snow; we'll need your help when we unify the Shinobi World later."
Didaze patted Kazahana Koyuki on the shoulder.
The help he was referring to was that the Land of Snow would lead the surrender when the time came.
Although the Land of Snow is a small country, it is considered strong among small countries, at least in the top three.
Aside from the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Rain, the strongest small country is probably the Land of Snow.
If the Land of Snow were to declare its allegiance to Iwagakure, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to those smaller countries that wanted to resist. This would reduce the resistance in those smaller countries, and Iwagakure would be able to annex and assimilate them more quickly.
However, Didaze has no intention of annexing small countries right now. After all, Konoha is enough to keep Iwagakure busy for a while, and the wealthy Konoha is a higher priority than those poor and remote areas.
If we were to seize other villages for a little territory, and ultimately cause Konoha to not be completely loyal, then it would undoubtedly be a case of gaining a sesame seed but losing a watermelon.
Moreover, for Didaze, the other three villages were already his for the taking.
With his current strength, neither Nagato Obito could withstand a single blow from him.
As for Madara Uchiha, if it were Madara in his prime who had been successfully resurrected, it would be a bit troublesome, but he should still be able to win.
"Do you need my... help?"
Kazahana Koyuki stared blankly at Didaze.
What power could she possibly have to help Didaze? She herself didn't know.
"The best help you can give me is to help the country develop well. Take me to get the Chakra Armor."
Didaze patted Kazahana Koyuki on the shoulder, then changed the subject.
"Ah... yes, yes, yes!"
Kazahana Koyuki turned her head in a daze and led Didaze towards a certain place.
"Why don't you just have Sandayu take me? It's very cold outside."
Didaze, seeing that Kazahana Koyuki wanted to lead the way herself, couldn't help but say something.
Although the geothermal heating system in the Land of Snow has been activated, snowflakes continue to fall, and the temperature is still quite low, only slightly better than before.
"It's alright, I'm a ninja now!"
Kazahana Koyuki proudly raised her head.
"Oh?"
Didaze smiled, then said nothing more.
He wasn't stupid; he could see what Kazahana Koyuki was thinking.
"When you have time to come to Iwagakure, you must come and see me. I'll show you my child."
Didaze said to Kazahana Koyuki, pretending to be casual.
Didaze then secretly observed.
He clearly saw Kazahana Koyuki's body suddenly stiffen, then return to normal.
Didaze had already made up his mind.
"I'll be there!"
Kazahana Koyuki turned around and smiled at Didaze. Kazahana Koyuki golden palace dress made her look incredibly beautiful.
But Didaze wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.
" Koyuki, go find your own true love, don't waste your time on me..."
Didaze patted Kazahana Koyuki's head and said what he wanted to say directly.
He felt that if he didn't explain things clearly, Kazahana Koyuki might not be able to resolve this knot in her heart.
"No need..."
Kazahana Koyuki gently shook her head.
Didaze could only sigh softly.
For some reason, he felt he had so many emotional debts, even though he felt he hadn't intentionally flirted with anyone.
Whether it's Umu, Nadeshiko Harukawa, or even the Kazahana Koyuki in front of them.
Didaze never flirted with them, but why did they all act as if they had done something to them?
Didaze was also helpless about this, but he didn't know what to do. He could only explain the situation clearly and see what happened next.
This is it.
Kazahana Koyuki and Didaze walked silently into a basement.
The basement is filled with various sophisticated instruments and people wearing protective suits.
"King!"
Someone saw Kazahana Koyuki Kazahana Koyuki and immediately knelt down in front of her, and the people around them followed suit.
"Rise. Bring out all your Chakra Armor."
Kazahana Koyuki spoke expressionlessly to the kneeling crowd.
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison, and then pieces of Chakra Armor were carried out one by one.
"Your Majesty, these are all the armors, a total of one thousand and fifty-eight sets."
A leader stepped forward and respectfully addressed Kazahana Koyuki.
"Are there fifty-eight more sets?"
Didaze was somewhat surprised.
"Give!"
Didaze tossed another scroll to Kazahana Koyuki.
"No need, no need!"
"You've already given me more than enough money; these fifty-eight sets are a gift for you!"
After receiving the scroll, Kazahana Koyuki returned it to Didaze and then said...
"One thing at a time."
Didaze put on a stern face and spoke to Kazahana Koyuki, then handed the scroll back.
"Here's one billion taels. Next time I come for the Chakra Armor, you can deduct it from this amount!"
Didaze said to Kazahana Koyuki.
"Understood..."
Kazahana Koyuki watched as Didaze Chakra Armor one by one into the scroll.
Didaze quickly acquired all the Chakra Armor.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave!"
After Didaze collected all the Chakra Armor into the scroll, he spoke to Kazahana Koyuki.
"Master, why don't you stay for a couple of days?"
Kazahana Koyuki reached out her hand to try and keep Didaze.
"Master..."
Kazahana Koyuki reached out and grabbed Didaze's hand, her face still showing a sorrowful expression.
" Koyuki, maybe next time."
Didaze gently brushed aside Kazahana Koyuki's hand, then summoned Clay Giant Bird that soared into the sky.
Only Kazahana Koyuki remained alone in the same spot.
"Ze, aren't you going too far by doing this...?"
When Six-Tails saw Kazahana Koyuki standing there in a daze in the spiritual space, he felt sorry for her.
"Unrealistic fantasies can't last forever. I'm making her realize this as soon as possible for her own good."
Didaze said calmly.
If he chooses to stay this time, then Kazahana Koyuki will sink deeper and deeper until she can never get out.
Didaze understood these things, which is why he chose to leave immediately.
"Let's go back to the village."
Didaze didn't want to discuss this matter with Six-Tails anymore.
After all, this was not a good feeling for him either. Although he didn't have any other feelings for Kazahana Koyuki, he still felt bad seeing his apprentice like this.
Iwagakure
Tsuchikage Office
Didaze quickly returned to Iwagakure and was surprised to see Ōnoki admiring the scenery from the rubble.
"Old man, you..."
Didaze looked at Ōnoki, who was engrossed in gazing at the scenery, with surprise and disbelief.
I've been gone for so long, Ōnoki still hasn't fixed the glass?
"The scenery is nice; I suggest you crash even bigger next time."
Ōnoki stroked his beard and laughed.
This was the first time he'd ever made Didaze get the short end of the stick!
