Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 208 Snow Country Mission

Arriving at Minister An's office, Xia Shu handed over a long list of bills to the other party, and said with a smile: "Master Minister, this is the funds spent on this mission."

After seeing a large number of numbers on the invoice, Minister An felt cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly asked in a low voice: "Are you going to do missions and travel? The cost is higher than the sum of the two expenses of other teams."

"My lord, it's not easy to lead a new team!"

After hearing Minister An's question, Xia Shu pretended to complain and said: "As the captain, in addition to convincing the public in terms of strength, he also needs to provide some benefits to his subordinates, right? The hotel can't be too bad, and the food should also meet everyone's needs. Taste (mainly myself), plus spending on hot springs and beauty treatments during the rest time, I spent so much without paying attention, hehe, I promise, I will never overspend next time."

"Let's not take this as an example. If you overspend again, you will use your mission rewards to subsidize it."

This little money is nothing to Anbu, but Minister Anbu still verbally warned Xia Shu, lest he affect the frugal atmosphere of the entire Anbu.

After receiving the invoice signed by Minister An, Xia Shu secretly laughed in his heart.

It’s true that it’s not an example. When reporting the budget in the future, it will be calculated according to three times the amount. It’s better to double it. The degree of stinginess is better to be a little restrained.

"By the way, Xia Shu, there is a task here, and I will leave it to your team to handle it."

From among the thick stack of mission scrolls on the table, Ansho took out a scroll marked with the striking [A] rank, and handed it to Natsuki.

Opening the mission scroll, Xia Shu discovered that it was an escort mission, and the mission location was in the relatively remote Snow Country.

"Is it the Snow Country? I really don't want to go to such a cold place."

Although the snowy scenery that never melts all year round in the Land of Snow is beautiful, after so many years of living, Natsuki has already gotten used to the warm climate of the Land of Fire. Under normal circumstances, Natsuki really doesn't want to go to that kind of cold place.

Seeing Xia Shu's reluctance, Minister An explained: "This mission was issued by the Daimyo of the Snow Country, to protect the little princess of the Snow Country—Fuka Koyuki."

Wait... Snow Country?Wind flower light snow?
After listening to Minister Anbe's words, Natsuki finally recalled something. Isn't this the mission performed by Kakashi Anbe in the first theatrical version of "Yukihime Ninjutsu" in the original book?I didn't expect it to be handed over to myself.

"Okay, leave it to me." Xia Shu took over the task very simply, and then asked in a low voice: "Master, is the recent situation in the Snow Country a bit complicated?"

Minister An glanced at Xia Shu in surprise, nodded and replied, "Yes, according to the intelligence, there is likely to be a major event affecting the regime of Snow Country."

"What do you say in the village? Do you participate in it or just stand by?"

Because Xia Shu participated in some war planning, Konoha's strength after World War III was much stronger than in the original book, and he could spare more energy to deal with external affairs, so Xia Shu hoped to know the attitude of the village before he could decide how to deal with it. Changes in the Snow Country.

"There is a disagreement among the high-level officials, and it cannot be determined for the time being, so the decision-making power is handed over to the leading ninja who performs the task—that is, you handle it. You can choose the way you think is most beneficial to Konoha according to the actual situation."

Minister An did not express his position, and gave Xia Shu the right to choose. After all, although Konoha knew part of the situation, no one could be sure what direction the situation would develop at that time, so he could only play by ear.

"Okay, I see."

Xia Shu nodded. Since Minister An has already said so, Xia Shu can act freely. Anyway, it is an order from the high-level. Even if the choice is wrong and the situation becomes unfavorable to Konoha, he will not allow himself pot.

……

The Land of Snow, the peninsula located in the north of the Land of Water and east of the Land of Thunder (explained below), departs from the Land of Fire and takes a passenger ship for several days to arrive.

It was the first time for Xia Shu to take a passenger ship in his past and present lives. He was very excited at the beginning and was very curious about everything on the passenger ship and the scenery in the sea.

Compared with Qingyan who is seasick, Xia Shu is very lucky that he is not that kind of body constitution, otherwise, he might have to lie down and reach the snow country like Qingyan.

During the boring voyage, Xia Shu didn't waste time. Taking advantage of the excellent opportunity of being on the sea, Xia Shu began to comprehend other skills of Shuixingquan.

The Water Fist acquired by Xia Shu includes three skills: Ice Sharpness, Water Penetration, and Water Binding.

Among the three skills, Ice Sharpness has been learned, and I have also experienced its increase in attack power in actual combat. The effect makes Xia Shu very satisfied.

Now, Natsuki is starting to learn the second skill—Water Binding.

The bondage of water is easy to say but difficult to do. After all, it is a rule-based skill. The water control ninjutsu such as the water whip is completely different. Even if there are some places that can be used for reference, it has only reached the initial entry level. It will take a long time to fully grasp the stage.

A few days later, the passenger ship sailed unsteadily into a port in Snow Country.

With both feet firmly on the ground, Xia Shu's spirit couldn't help but shake. Finally, he bid farewell to the boring life at sea.

Leaving the port, everyone came to a small town near the port.

Looking at the weak Qingyan who was suffering from seasickness, Xia Shu gave up the idea of ​​carrying out the task immediately, and decided to relax for a while.

"Today we will rest here for a day, and tomorrow, we will go to the capital of the Snow Country to meet the daimyo."

"Great, captain, let me tell you, the XXX...XXX....XXX here in Snow Country is very delicious, let's go and taste it."

Hearing Xia Shu's announcement to take a rest here, the gourmet-loving Mirage suddenly became excited, and his eyes lit up and offered Xia Shu a lot of food that he had never heard of before.

"Stop, stop, old rules, order what you want." Xia Shu immediately interrupted Mirage's chattering words, otherwise, God knows how many kinds of food she would have.

After eating the delicacies chosen by Mirage, everyone found a clean hotel in the small town to rest.

After many days of drifting at sea, even Xia Shu, who is physically strong, felt a little tired. After a simple wash, Xia Shu didn't go to study, let go of his body and mind, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, several energetic people gathered outside the town. Judging from their complexions, they had returned to their previous state.

"set off!"

Following Xia Shu's order, everyone disappeared in place in an instant, and set off for the Daming Mansion in the capital of the Snow Country.

　PS: On a map I found, the Land of Snow is on the west side of the Land of Earth. It seems very contradictory to Naruto and Yukihime Ninfatie Ri Naruto going there by boat, so it is set on a peninsula. Anyway, the impact is not too big .
