“We’ll talk about the monetary losses later.”

Kaguya Xiu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "What I am most concerned about now is whether the snow crystal trade will be affected."

Snow crystal is a specialty of the Land of Snow, a special ore with rare production.

The energy density is [-] times that of the same volume of coal.

In layman's terms, a walnut-sized snow crystal is roughly equivalent to the energy released by the complete combustion of a meal of coal.

Completely converted into electrical energy, it can power a Tesla electric vehicle to travel approximately [-] kilometers.

Moreover, the chemical properties of this ore are the same as coal, very stable, easy to transport and preserve.

It is an extremely clean and efficient energy source.

It was precisely because he accidentally learned about the existence of this special ore that Kaguya Hugh invested nearly half of the assets of the Shimizu Chamber of Commerce to open up the trade routes to the Snow Country.

After more than half a year of experiments, Kaguya has developed a technology that can directly extract energy from this ore and use it as a battery.

Including the short stick that can discharge electricity given to Maple Leaf Shiraishi, many of his inventions in the past two years have used snow crystals as energy sources.

For him at this stage, this energy has extremely important strategic significance and cannot be lost.

"Forehead……"

Feeling the sharp knife-like gaze of the other party, Kaduo wiped the cold sweat from his temples and said nervously: "Fenghua Taixiong's family not only tore up all cooperation agreements, but also detained two of our merchant ships and divided the Chamber of Commerce into Snow Country. All property belonging to the ministry has been seized.”

Catching a glimpse of the smile on the gray-haired man's face, Xi Chuan Feng Ling shuddered and quickly distanced himself from the relationship and said: "As soon as something unexpected happened, I sent an envoy to negotiate in the name of the Country of Waves.

But the other party seemed to look down upon our strength and ignored our protests. "

Relying on its unique geographical advantages, although the economic strength of the Country of Waves is much stronger than that of the Country of Snow, due to political and historical reasons, there is no such organization as the Ninja Village in the country, and its strength is inferior to that of the Country of Snow.

Taixiong Fenghua, who had the support of the Snow Ninja Village, saw this clearly, and only after gaining power did he dare to tear up the agreement and swallow up the assets of the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Kaguya looked at the fat dwarf opposite and asked, "How much do you know about snow ninjas?"

In addition to making money to provide him with funds, the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce is also responsible for collecting intelligence.

"Snow Ninja Village is said to have been established more than 30 years ago by a group of wandering ninjas with unknown origins. They possess special ice escape ninjutsu."

After sorting out the information in his mind, Cardo quickly replied: "The current leader is a ninja named Ihara Masami. It is said that his strength is not weaker than the elite jounin of the five major countries.

Ihara Masami has four capable generals under his command, and they are known as the Four Heroes of the Snow Country. They all have strength that is not weaker than that of ordinary jounin. "

"Five jounin?" Kaguya was a little surprised.

I originally thought that such a little-known small ninja village would be able to stand up to the sky with one or two jounin, but I didn't expect that there were actually five jounin, one of whom was suspected to have the strength of an elite jounin.

Although jounin are just like cabbage in Kirigakure and Konoha, except for the five major ninja villages, even the strongest three among the small ninja villages, Ame, Kusana and Taki, each have no more than 20 jounin. people.

With five jounin, the snow ninja village has surpassed most small ninja villages.

No wonder he dared to tear up the agreement and didn't care about the response of the Kingdom of Waves.

Kaguya Hugh originally planned to ask the Star Organization to solve this problem, and to test the development of the organization during this period.

Now I have to change my mind.

With the current strength of the Star Organization, it is still unable to handle this level of trouble.

Even if all kinds of methods are used to finally solve the problem of the snow ninja, the energy will be greatly damaged and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Kaguya Xiu made a decision: "Get ready, I'll go there myself."

………………

The Snow Country is located in the far north of the Shinobi World, close to the Arctic Circle, and the entire country is covered in ice and snow all year round.

And like the Country of Waves, it is an island country isolated overseas.

It is somewhat similar to Iceland among the five Nordic countries in the previous life.

Starting from the Country of Waves, heading north, crossing the northernmost tip of the territory of the Country of Thunder, and continuing to sail for more than 50 nautical miles, the merchant ship carrying Kaguya Kyū finally arrived at its destination.

There are only two cities in the Snow Kingdom, one is naturally the royal capital where the daimyo is located, and the other is the aquamarine city built next to the harbor below.

"Your Majesty, please come this way."

After walking out of the deck and back to the ground again, two middle-aged men wearing thick cotton-padded jackets had been waiting on the shore for a long time.

Kaguya Kyū did not choose to sneak in secretly this time, but changed into a strange appearance. As the envoy of the Country of Waves, he set foot on the land of the Country of Snow openly, preparing to use this identity to have the final battle with Kazehana Taio. A negotiation.

He has never advocated the use of violence to solve problems, and he will try to be reasonable if he can.

Arriving at the hotel where he was staying and warming himself by the stove, Kaguya looked at the two managers of the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce branch opposite and asked, "How is the situation in the Country of Snow now?"

“Well, yesterday afternoon, the armies of Fenghua Taixiong and Fenghua Xinxue had a decisive battle on the banks of the Feiyuan River outside the capital.

Although Fenghua Shinyuki's party came up with many weird war weapons, they still could not avoid the fate of defeat in the face of Ihara Masami and his snow ninjas. "

Facing Kaguya's problem, the branch manager was well prepared: "After the defeat, Fenghua Xinxue and his party chose to escape to the Snow Valley in the east. It is said that it is the sphere of influence of his mother's clan and contains his last... of an army.

After Fenghua Xinxue fled, the capital of Snow Country and Aquamarine City had completely fallen into the hands of Fenghua Taixiong, and the situation was determined. "

"That's not good news, at least not for us."

Taking a sip of hot tea, Kaguya looked towards the capital: "Let me tell Fenghua Taixiong that I am going to meet him."

………………

In the brightly lit hall, a tall middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket and a fierce face stood at the top, and he and several warriors in leather armor and swords gathered in front of a huge sand table, arguing passionately.

"We must take advantage of the victory and pursue it. We must not let Fenghua Xinxue return to Snow Valley and give him a chance to make a comeback!"

"With the help of the snow ninja, we just need to take it slow and steady. There is no need to be so rash."

"There is Kakuo in Snow Valley, who knows what the hell that guy can do!"

"In the face of absolute strength, those little tricks are meaningless!"

"Little trick? You..."

……

……

"Enough, stop arguing!"

After stopping the noisy three red-faced subordinates, Fenghua Taixiong rubbed his somewhat tense face and said in a deep voice: "That guy Fenghua Xinxue is nothing to worry about anymore.

Just act according to Taro's instructions and win over the opponent steadily. There is no need to take too many risks.

Moreover, I have asked the snow ninja to chase him. He may not survive tonight. "

"us……"

Just as Fenghua Taixiong was about to continue giving orders, a lean old man wearing a kimono with white edges and black stripes suddenly opened the door and walked in quickly.

Then he whispered something into Fenghua Taixiong's ear.

咚

Slamming the table, Fenghua Taixiong laughed angrily: "You are willing to raise the price of the third floor, why don't you say that you are unforeseen? Do you really think that I am the stupid guy who only knows about having fun?!"

"Lord Taixiong, what happened?"

"It's those guys from the Country of Waves again."

Fenghua Taixiong said angrily: "My elder brother, that idiot, actually exchanged something as important as snow crystals for useless fruits and silk.

Those damn businessmen have taken advantage of us so much before, and they are still not satisfied.

They actually persuaded the Daimyo of Wave Country to send envoys to jointly demand an explanation, so that we can continue to fulfill the stipulations in the contract and return the seized merchant ships and goods to them.

It's ridiculous! "

"This time it's not like last time, where we just sent people to convey messages verbally."

As the other party's teacher and chief staff officer, the lean old man warned: "This time the Daimyo of the Land of Waves sent an official envoy. Taixiong, you'd better pay more attention to it and don't damage the international reputation of our Land of Snow."

"Oh, if it were an envoy from the Kingdom of Fire or the Kingdom of Water, I would be a little more wary, but what does the Kingdom of Waves mean?"

With a sneer, Fenghua Taixiong dismissed the old man's words and said energetically: "Let them go! They are not welcome in the Land of Snow!"

………………

"Sir, Fenghua Taixiong rejected our request for a meeting and asked us to leave the country of Waves within two days, otherwise..."

After carefully sizing up the man in front of him, the steward honestly reported the news he had just received.

"You don't want to talk about it?"

Regarding this result, Kaguya Kyiu was not too surprised.

He had considered this situation long before arriving in the Land of Snow.

With a cold look in his eyes, Kaguya ordered: "Give me a detailed map of the Land of Snow, and give me information on Fenghua Xinxue's forces."

"Yes."

Since the other party didn't want to show dignity, he had no choice but to help the other party show respect himself.

………………

Under the cover of night, more than twenty riders galloped through the mountains and forests covered with thick ice and snow, as if there were some savage beasts behind them, daring not to pause.

He caught a glimpse of the black figure behind him that was as light as an ape jumping and rushing between the tree trunks, quickly closing the distance with his group. The man wearing dark red armor and wearing a samurai haircut immediately pulled the reins hard and turned the horse's head: "Lord, I'll hold this guy back and leave quickly!"

After leaving a few words, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and faced him without fear of death.

Immediately afterwards, many people followed the original warrior and launched the final charge.

The team of more than 20 people was reduced by half in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!" "Lord Xinxue, leave quickly!" "Die!"...

Listening to the miserable howls from behind, Fenghua Xinxue's eyes flashed with sadness and deep-seated hatred: "I will definitely avenge you."

He gritted his teeth and swung his long whip suddenly, hitting the black horse's rear butt, increasing his speed by another two points.

After his defeat, he had been running away non-stop for two days and two nights.

Both physically and mentally, they are on the verge of reaching their limits.

In order to cover him, this team composed of his most elite troops has been reduced from more than 200 people at the beginning to just over ten people now.

In order to cover his escape, most of those members fell into the hands of the snow ninja named Komura Tokuo.

The sky was getting brighter, and when he jumped out of the dense forest, his vision suddenly became clearer. The faces of the warriors following Feng Hua Xinyue all looked happy.

"Pingjin Snowfield? Mr. Xinyue, hold on for a while, the Snow Valley is almost here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several kunai with detonating charms attached to their tails shot out from the forest, heading straight for the haggard-looking middle-aged man in the center of the team.

"careful!"

The leader of the warriors in the team had quick eyes and quick hands. He jumped up from his horse, grabbed Fenghua Xinxue's waist and threw him away.

Bo!

The next moment, several violent air waves erupted on the spot, tearing several surrounding horses and the famous warrior on them into pieces.

Several people who were far away from the center of the explosion were also bombarded by the shock wave. They flew out from their horses and fell on the cold snow. They were seriously injured.

Climbing up from the samurai leader, looking at the figure that was slowly approaching him, Fenghua Xinxue pounded the ground with her hands, extremely unwilling to give up: "Damn, it was almost, only just a little!"

As long as he passes through the Pingjin snowfield, he can reach the destination of his trip, the Snow Valley.

"What? Finally despaired and gave up?"

Tossing the kunai gently, Komura Tokuo showed a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, and emphasized the tone of certain words: "Can't we just give up our hands and catch him early? I have to chase him for two days and two nights."

What do you think is the best way for me to repay you? "

"Why? Why would you snow ninjas betray me and support that guy Taixiong!?" Fenghua Xinxue asked sternly, revealing the long-buried doubts in her heart.

As soon as he learned that his brother had died of illness, he went to the Snow Ninja Village in person and reached an agreement with Ihara Masami.

At the cost of doubling the supply every year so far, in exchange for the other party helping him seize the daimyo position.

Unexpectedly, these guys turned against him at a critical moment, causing the advantage he had accumulated in the early stage to disappear.

In the final decisive battle, he even helped Fenghua Taixiong defeat the ninja army that he regarded as his trump card.

"Haha, the dead don't need to know so much."

Komura Tokuo smiled coldly and was not prepared to answer this question: "If you want to blame, I can only blame you for your bad luck. Your opponent is Fenghua Taixiang."

Holding the handle of the kunai tightly, and just about to end Fenghua Xinxue's life with one blow, and take his head back to hand over, Tokuo Komura's expression suddenly changed.

Ignoring the target that was so close, he immediately stopped the attack, kicked off his legs, and flew away.

The next second, a blue-white laser as thick as a thumb shot out from the dense forest behind, leaving a hole several meters deep in the snow where Komura Tokuo was originally.

"Oh, we almost missed it. It was such a close call." A slightly frivolous male voice sounded from the forest, attracting the attention of all the survivors.

"Who?!"

Komura Tokuo followed the sound and saw a figure wearing a black robe and a scorpion mask walking slowly and leisurely out of the forest.
