Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 50 Snowfall City

The Luoxue Plain located under the Piaoxue Mountains is shrouded in light snow all year round. On the not-so-large Luoxue Plain, there is Luoxue City, the northernmost city in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Of the city walls in all directions, only the north and south walls have city gates. Inside the city, there are about 1 permanent residents and 300 ordinary spears.

Last night, after learning that Luoxuecheng would belong to Lan, the officials of Luoxuecheng left Luoxuecheng overnight with Ashigaru.

On the falling snow plain covered with piles of snow, Lan wearing a white cloak was carrying Xiang Lin and Hashirama who were hiding in the hat on their backs and they were running wildly on the snow.

The four of them rejected Maitreya's invitation to go to the Treasure Pavilion after breakfast in the ghost capital, got up and left the ghost capital.

Although Lan did not go to the Treasure Pavilion to pick up treasures, Maitreya still gave Lan a scroll, which recorded some sealing techniques unique to the Ghost Kingdom, and some Yin-Yang techniques that can be used with Chakra.

Because he had to hurry, Lan took the scroll and stored it in the system space.

Snowflakes are flying under the action of the north wind.

Facing Fengyue, Lan took another two steps forward, ran to Nanako's side, and asked with concern: "How are you? Do you want to take a rest?"

"No, no need, my chakra is not bad, it can support us to reach Snowfall City." Nanako turned her face and smiled at Lan, then ran to the front stepping on the snow.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Nanako, Lan stretched his hand behind and helped Xianglin on his back up.

After Xianglin settled down, Lan said to Xianglin who was hiding in the cloak: "Hold me tight, I'm going to speed up."

Xiang Lin, who was clutching Lan's clothes with a blushing face, heard Lan's voice, tightly clutched her little hands, and hummed softly.

Hearing the response, Lan covered him with a chakra coat and started running at high speed.

The three of them galloped across the white snow field like lightning, leaving only shallow footprints and falling snowflakes behind them.

As time passed, the sky dimmed in a blink of an eye, and the snowflakes that had been falling nonstop gradually stopped at this moment. In the sky, only a few snowflakes that fell relatively late could be seen.

On a raised hill not far from Luoxue City, Lanzheng, Zhuma and Nanako with flushed faces stood there quietly.

As far as the eye can see, the snow-covered city of Luoxue stands on the snow field like a cube.

Less than two kilometers behind Luoxuecheng is the rolling snow mountain range, the silver-white mountain body looks extremely beautiful under the setting sun through the clouds.

Standing on the hill, Lan could see dozens of bullock carts pulled by long-haired oxen carrying ice along the main road to the interior of the land of ghosts.

After looking at the city and mountains, Lan put down the fragrant phosphorus in the cloak, and handed her over to Nanako.

Afterwards, Nanako took Xiang Lin's hand and followed Lan and Hashirama towards Luoxuecheng on the snow.

Standing on the south wall of Luoxue City and looking into the distance, Abe Yuanye, the city chief, turned his head and said to the officials beside him when he saw Lan's figure, "Go and open the gate, the city lord is here."

When the shivering officials heard Abe Yuanno's words, they hurriedly ordered the samurai to open the city gate. The moment the samurai pushed the city gate, they went down the city together with Abe Yuanno.

The officials of Luoxuecheng stood outside the city gate together with Abe Yuanye, and it didn't take long for Lan and his party to walk outside the city gate.

When Abe Harano saw Lan approaching, he took the wooden plate with the silver seal in the hand of the samurai beside him and walked respectfully in front of Lan.

Holding the wooden plate, Abe Yuanye bowed to Lan, and said: "Abe Yuanye, who was in Luoxuecheng City, met the ninja Yue Yinglan who protects the country. This is the seal of Luoxuecheng City Lord, please accept it."

Although it was a little awkward for a person in his 40s to salute himself, Lan, who had long been accustomed to all this, nodded slightly and took the seal according to the etiquette.

After Lan grasped the seal, the officials behind Abe Harano leaned down and shouted in unison: "I have seen the city lord."

"En." Lan hummed lightly, motioning for them to get up.

At this time, Abe Harano handed over the wooden plate in his hand to the samurai beside him, straightened up and turned his head to look at the city of Luoxue that he had dedicated for 20 years. After a few glances, he turned his head Xiang Lan bid farewell and said, "Since you're here, I should return to the capital and return to the capital. From now on, Luoxue City will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, Snowfall City will be more prosperous in my hands." Lan nodded lightly.

Seeing that Lan was so confident, Abe Yuanye didn't say anything, and after turning around and looking at Luo Xuecheng again, he rode his horse and left with his retainers.

Watching Abe Yuanye leave, Lan handed over the seal of the castellan to Hashirama.

Suddenly taking the seal, Hashirama frowned and asked, "What is this for?"

For Zhuma's doubts, Lan shrugged and said: "You know, I don't have time to manage this city, so you can wait for me to manage this city first. After all, you have done Hokage before and have experience."

"Ah?" Hashirama groaned, and said with rounded eyes, "No way! Are you sure I can manage this city? When I was working as Hokage, my younger brother was basically in charge of Konoha's affairs, so I just Responsible for signing."

"..."

Hearing Hashirama's unreliable words, Lan rolled his eyes and said, "Then you, Hokage, are really doing your duty."

After finishing speaking, Lan turned around and looked at Nanako and said to Hashirama: "If you can't manage it, let Nanako manage it with you, and after I leave, Kaorin's ninjutsu will be handed over to you. "

"Brother~" Xianglin let go of Nanako's hand and ran to Lan nervously, grabbed Lan's sleeve and asked reluctantly, "Are you leaving us now? Don't you want to stay here for a few days?"

"Good~"

Lan squinted his eyes and rubbed Xianglin's hair, and said: "I also want to stay with you for a few more days, but my strength is still too weak. I need to find a stronger strength. Only when I become stronger can I have time to accompany you Let's play together, after I leave, you have to listen to your grandpa Hashirama and your mother, and practice chakra well."

"Hmm..." Xiang Lin pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, her long wine red hair fluttering gently in the wind, just as she was silent, a crystal clear snowflake fell on the tip of her nose.

When the snowflakes touched the tip of the nose, they were immediately melted by the body temperature, and the snowflakes that turned into water fell from Xianglin's white nose.

At this time, Xiang Lin nodded with red eyes and asked, "Then... when will you come back, brother?"

"..."

Lan fell silent when she heard the words, looked up at the dark sky and said, "I should come back when you become a Genin."

Hearing Lan's answer, Xianglin's eyes lit up, and after holding Lan's rosy white finger, he asked loudly: "Really? Will you really come back when I become a genocide?"

"Well, really, I'll come back when you become a Genin." Lan squinted and rubbed Kaorin's hair.

Xianglin, whose hair was rubbed, also squinted. In her cognition, Genin is a level that can be easily achieved. With her amazing talent of the Uzumaki Clan, wouldn't it be possible to become Genin in a few months.

It's only a few months of separation, very short, only a few months, and in a few months, my brother will be able to come back to accompany Xianglin all the time, which is really wonderful.

Xianglin thought in his heart.

Hashirama stood next to Kaorin Nanako holding the seal of the castellan and looked at Lan solemnly. Kaorin was young and didn't know the difficulty of cultivation, but Hashirama was very clear about it. It was Uzumaki's family, and it took a lot of money to become a ninja In the past year and a half, I didn't expect that Lan would be away for so long this time. For some reason, Zhu Jian suddenly felt a little worried and reluctant.

The sky gradually darkened, the north wind blew away the thick clouds, and the full moon replaced the sun in the sky again.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the silver-white snow field, and the snow on the snow field shone brightly.

At this time, Lan and Zhujian had already walked into the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Luoxue City.

In the room on the top floor of the city lord's mansion, Lan sat on a chair, looking through the window at the sky illuminated by the moon, and roasting the fire in the oven.

Looking at the sky, Lan lowered his head and took out the witch scroll to browse the sealing technique on it.

Looking at the complex and powerful sealing techniques above, Lan frowned and opened the system to exchange them with ninja points. After using up the ninja points, Lan learned almost all the sealing techniques on the scroll.

After turning off the system and putting away the scroll, he lifted the kettle off the stove and made himself a cup of tea, then leaned against the wall and stared at the moonlight.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the sound, Lan put down the tea and got up, went to the door and opened it, and Nanako was standing outside.

Seeing the door open, Nanako asked Lan, "Mr. Lan, when are you leaving tomorrow?"

"I don't know, I should leave in the early morning. After all, if Xianglin wakes up, I'm afraid she will pester me to not let me leave." Lan said softly.

Hearing Xianglin, Nanako said apologetically, "I'm causing you trouble, Xianglin just doesn't like parting."

"It's okay, actually I don't like to be separated, but many times, you have to face the separation, just wait until I reach the movie level, then there will be no difference."

Lan smiled, and the moonlight through the window shone on Lan's soft long hair.

Then Nanako chatted with He Lan for a while, and she didn't get up until almost midnight to leave.

After Nanako left, Lan lay down on the wooden bed to rest.

In the early morning, the wind started to blow again, and the night wind with snowflakes swept across the entire city under the moonlight.

The city was extremely quiet, except for the sound of wind and breathing, there was no sound to be heard.

In the dead of night, Lan, who was wearing a white ninja outfit, pushed open the window, picked up Chakra and jumped out. It was time to set off.

Lan stepped on the snow on the roofs of the city and moved forward at a high speed.

On the roof of the city lord's mansion, Hashima, who was covered in snow, was looking at Lan in the distance with his arms around his arms, until Lan's figure disappeared into the darkness, Hashirama shook off the snow on his body and jumped back to the city lord's mansion.
