At the border of the Land of Snow, an old passenger ship that looked like it had just arrived docked.
On the deck, there are three young people from the Kingdom of Rain.
The three young men were dressed surprisingly identically. They were carrying fully stuffed backpacks, each wearing cotton gloves on their hands. The rain ninja uniforms were covered with cotton coats, and scarves were also wrapped tightly around their necks.
The scenery they had never seen before - the endless icebergs and the snow all over the place did not make the Amegakure trio feel cold or anything like that, but rather exciting and exciting.
Because this is a view that is absolutely impossible to see in the Land of Rain!
"Wow--"
Because of the sight of the snow country that he saw for the first time in front of him, Nagato's mouth opened in an O shape, and he could not calm down the excitement in his heart for a long time.
"This is the country of snow..."
Xiaonan's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face, and she murmured uncontrollably.
"Ahem!"
Yahiko, who had just vomited due to seasickness, cleared his throat, forced to hide the excitement on his face, and said: "You two, please be serious, this time we are here to represent the country of rain and snow.
The country has established friendly diplomatic relations! When we go out, we represent the Country of Rain! Never forget it! And never lose etiquette..."
Before Yahiko could finish his words, Nagato, who couldn't suppress his excitement and jumped down while speaking, was hit by a big snowball on his face.
"Hahaha!"
Looking at Nagato who was pointing at himself and laughing, as the highest administrator of the Land of Rain, Yahiko continued without changing his expression: "We must never lose our etiquette and let others think that we, the Land of Rain..."
Snap!
Another snowball hit my face.
Calmly wiping the snow off his face, Yahiko continued: "We can't let others think that we in the Land of Rain don't understand the rules, and we can't let others look down on us too much..."
Snap!
Another snowball hit his face, and Yahiko lowered his head and fell silent.
Three seconds later...
"Nagato, you bastard!!"
Looking at the two young men who were having a selfless snowball fight and laughing from time to time, Xiaonan shook his head helplessly.
Even though they have become high-level officials in a country, these two people are still so naive. Teacher Gui is indeed right. Women of the same age are much more mature.
A man is still a boy until he dies, and he will never be able to do it without a shrewd and capable woman to guide him.
"You think so? Yuki-chan?"
Looking at Konan who was stroking the piled snowman and asking this question, Yahiko, who was aware of the other person's mental activity, immediately complained.
"The same goes for you! By the way, what's going on with that snowman?!"
"It's not a snowman, it's Yuki-chan!" Xiaonan defended solemnly, holding the snowman she had just made, and then her expression gradually softened, "He is not an ordinary snowman, but a friend I made when I came to the Land of Snow! It symbolizes
This is the first step in the friendship between the two countries!”
"No! It's just an ordinary snowman!"
As soon as Yahiko finished complaining, a snowball the size of a human head smashed the first friend Konan made in the Land of Snow... to pieces!
"Hey! You two, stop dawdling. The specialties you brought have to be unloaded. You two, hurry up!"
Looking at Nagato waving his hands and Konan with his head lowered and his expression hidden in the shadows, Yahiko felt something bad and silently took two steps back without thinking.
Nagato is about to suffer!
"L-door!!"
As expected, after Konan gritted his teeth, Nagato was harshly taught a lesson by Konan who had used all his tricks.
In the end, Nagato was forced to take on the task of transporting all the specialties to offset the manslaughter he had just committed. He dragged about two cubic meters of specialties alone and followed Konan and Yahiko.
And the snowman named Yuki-chan by Xiao Nan, who unfortunately passed away just after he was born, was also buried well in the snow by Xiao Nan and a tombstone was erected.
When Konan stood in front of the tomb in mourning with tears in his eyes, Yahiko and Nagato were also silent, and they didn't even know whether they should complain about it.
In the end, the two chose not to vomit.
After all, Xiaonan’s endless and unscrupulous revenge methods are hard to guard against!
…
After walking for about two hours, the three of them encountered an extreme snowstorm. In desperation, the three of them could only stop temporarily and look for shelter.
The three of them were lucky enough to find a cave nearby. Although it was a bit cold, it was enough to escape the wind and snow.
They found some firewood, built a bonfire, found an iron kettle from their luggage, filled it with snow and placed it on top of the bonfire, and the three of them began simple repairs.
After drinking some boiling water, Yahiko opened the map that was sent to him when he communicated with the leader of Snow Country, and read it by the light of the campfire.
"Well, there are still about two hours to go to the train station that the leader of Snow Country said can lead directly to Fenghua City."
"Train? What is that?" asked Xiaonan who was cooking noodles.
"I don't know either, but Mr. Early Snow said that it can lead directly to Fenghua City. I think it might be a shortcut."
At this time, Nagato, who was standing at the entrance of the cave with his hands folded, looked at the snowstorm outside and sighed: "But I didn't expect that there would be such a country in the ninja world. In a sense, it is really similar to the Land of Rain..."
Yahiko also looked at the entrance of the cave and said with emotion: "A country with only rain and a country with only snow are indeed similar from this point of view. It's just that this small country has never experienced a war because of its location. This is really surprising.
I’m envious.”
Konan thought of something at this time and asked: "Then again, Yahiko, why did the Snow Country, which has never experienced war and is peaceful, agree to communicate with the Rain Country, which has been tortured by war?"
"I just found out about this. In my exchange of letters with the leader of Snow Country, I got the news that Teacher Gui had come to Snow Country not long ago and stayed for several months. And after knowing that I am Teacher Gui
After becoming a disciple, the other party readily agreed to communicate with us."
"Teacher Katsura?!" Nagato and Konan exclaimed.
"Yes, that's right. From the words in the letter, it can be seen that His Excellency Mr. Kaze Hayuki of Snow Country has respect for Teacher Katsura. Presumably, the reason why he agreed to communicate with us from the Country of Rain is that he respects and trusts Teacher Katsura."
"Really!"
Xiao Nan curled his lips at this time, showing a bit of dissatisfaction, and complained: "Leave the country to us, and Mr. Gui is free to run around in the ninja world."
Yahiko, who had long been accustomed to hearing similar complaints from Konan, didn't pay attention and continued while putting away the map.
"Perhaps Mr. Katsura has been thinking about the peace of the country and the ninja world. There is no way to find the answer without seeing it with your own eyes."
"That's right..."
Nagato gently raised the corner of his mouth, and his thoughts were gradually drawn to the three years of joy he had spent with Gui.
"Then again, listen to Hanzo... no, did Master's old subordinates say that? Teacher Gui was actually about the same age as us at that time!"
Yahiko and Nagato, whose memories were interrupted by Konan's words, couldn't help but talk to each other. This matter had actually been proven by the rain ninjas a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, the teacher who taught me was only a few years old at the time!
Yahiko broke the embarrassment and said: "Maybe this is a genius. At a few years old, he can do things that none of us can do, and understand that none of us can understand the truth."
"That's not what I'm talking about. I mean that Teacher Gui would visit some ladies' homes from time to time or chat with other hostesses all night. How old was he at that time? How old was he?"
"Uh..." Yahiko choked for a moment, and then quickly changed the subject: "Maybe it's... precocious. In short! Stop dawdling, take a rest and continue on your way! We must go to the capital of Snow Country today!"
At this time, Nagato suddenly sighed: "Compared to Teacher Gui, we are far from enough..."
Hearing the sound, Konan and Yahiko's expressions became a little strange again.
