Haku shuttled through the forest like a light swallow. The branches under his fingertips did not even tremble.
It was enough for his control of strength to reach the point of perfection.
His talent was good, to begin with, and he had also cultivated steadily during this period, so his strength had far surpassed before.
After a while, he finally saw Naruto who was still waiting in an open space.
At this moment, it was noon. The sun shone on Naruto's warm and warm smile, adding a touch of gentleness.
"Long time no see, Haku." There was a strange look in Naruto's eyes under his thick black-rimmed glasses.
Now that Chakra and Reiatsu had just reached Jonin's level, they believed that they would be able to win even against the stronger Jonin.
"Lord Naruto!" Haku came in front of Naruto and said respectfully, "Long time no see."
"How have you been?"
"I live in seclusion in a small town."
Haku narrated his life in detail.
He adopted two children who were homeless because of the war and rented a house with some money given by Naruto. He would go to the market to sell some handmade jewelry every day.
In the dark, he would go to the underground organization to receive some commissions.
Because he was strong, he had quite a reputation in the local underground organization.
It was just that the principle of his commission was very strong.
One, he did not kill.
Two, he did not take any outrageous commissions.
Therefore, Ninja gave him a code name: Angel.
Naruto listened with a smile, feeling happy about everything about Haku.
Because of his wandering experience, Haku had compassion for homeless children. For a Ninja, this would be a fatal flaw.
"I admire your kindness, Haku." After Haku finished speaking, Naruto slowly said, "But you have to know that the path we are going to take is very cruel. You must be prepared for it."
Haku understood what Naruto meant and nodded firmly, "Don't worry, Lord Naruto. If that day comes, I won't hesitate!"
Feeling Haku's will, Naruto nodded in satisfaction and then explained the contents of the mission to him.
When he learned that Naruto had joined the dark Root, Haku's eyes were a little distressed.
He knew. The gentle Naruto must have gone through a lot of psychological construction to be able to make this decision.
"This time, Yuki no Kuni will encounter a lot of betrayals. Perhaps it will also give you a new understanding of Hyōton."
...
After a long journey, Naruto and Haku quickly followed Sasuke's team and arrived at Yuki no Kuni's territory.
At the same time, Sasuke's team was also surrounded and attacked by Yuki no Kuni's ninja.
A few Genin appeared from a hidden place and quickly formed seals with their hands.
"Hyōton - Fubuki."
"Hyōton - Tsurara"
The snow stirred, and a few icicles shot out, straight toward Sasuke and the others.
A few snow darts also condensed in the snow that filled the sky, flashing with cold light as they attacked.
"Insignificant skill." Sasuke snorted, and his body directly burst out with dazzling lightning. In the next moment, his figure flashed between several Genin.
Accompanied by screams, the lightning burst.
The smell of burning came, and those Genin had been killed in an instant.
"Good, so powerful." Kazahana Koyuki stared at Sasuke in shock, her little mouth wide open.
"Hey, Sasuke has made great progress." Haku, who was secretly observing, covered his mouth and smiled.
"Let's go. If Yuki no Kuni wants to take them down, he needs to send at least core members. We can take advantage of this chaotic time to loot all the treasures." Naruto said calmly.
"Sigh, I'm going to be a thief with Lord Naruto. I'm looking forward to it." Haku chuckled.
"No, we are bandits." Naruto corrected.
"Yes, yes, yes." Haku covered his mouth and chuckled.
As they left, Naruto noticed that Sasuke's team was surrounded by several Chunin.
Sasuke's team did not receive the real information, so they did not know that the Kazahana Koyuki they wanted to protect was Yuki no Kuni's Princess.
The strength of Yukigakure in Yuki no Kuni is not strong, it can even be called poor
The Snow Ninjas on the inside were mostly dressed in a special type of Chakra armor. With the support of this armor, they could greatly increase their own Chakra, but with this level, there were only a few other Ninjas who could reach Jonin level.
However.
The Hyōton that they had mastered was still remarkable.
Because the Snow Ninjas they encountered along the way were almost all at Genin's level, Naruto and Haku had a smooth journey.
Considering Haku's kind personality, Naruto did not directly kill these Genin. Instead, he only used Kyōka Suigetsu to control their vision.
First, these ninjas were too weak. There was no need to kill them, and their bodies did not have much research value.
Secondly, they did not want to expose their whereabouts because of the killing.
After all, their goal was to betray their leader and treasure.
In this world of ice and snow, Haku, who had Hyōton Kekkei Genkai, could not help but feel happy.
Yuki no Kuni was always shrouded in ice and snow.
For an ordinary Ninja, the low temperature was unbearable, but for Haku, it was comfortable.
Under the ice and snow, he felt that the operation of Reiatsu and Chakra was more smooth.
After sneaking in, they successfully arrived at the palace.
The target mission -- The rebel leader was sitting on the throne with a savage smile on his face.
"The Princess dared to come back. She even brought along Konoha's Ninja. What a joke. Capture them alive. I want to humiliate the Princess and tell her who is Yuki no Kuni's king."
This is the leader of the rebellious ninja in the Yuki no Kuni, Kazahana Dotō.
According to the intelligence, Kazahana Dotō should have reached Jonin's level. In front of Naruto, they were not enough.
"Unfortunately, such a beautiful land of ice and snow was occupied by such an ugly guy." Naruto's slightly sighing voice echoed in the vast and empty palace.
Hearing this, Kazahana Dotō's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "Who is it? Someone come!"
After saying this for a long time, no one came. Kazahana Dotō's face suddenly became ugly.
He remembered the information that his subordinates had sent before.
This time, there was Konoha Village who escorted Kazahana Koyuki.
Could it be that this time, the one who sneaked into the palace was Konoha's Ninja?
When did the Princess hook up with Konoha?
How could this be? He had contact with Konoha's Ninja, and they would secretly help him.
Could it be that they betrayed him?
Kazahana Dotō's face was extremely ugly.
He remembered the mysterious Konoha Ninja that came here more than ten days ago.
After some negotiation, he expressed on behalf of Konoha that he would not interfere with the fight for the position of leader of Yuki no Kuni, and would not accept any commission from Kazahana Koyuki.
It seemed that they broke the agreement.
They wanted to earn money from both sides!
"Then let's fight!" Under Naruto's playful eyes, Kazahana Dotō assumed a fighting posture.
Wearing the chakra armor that he has studied for decades and Hyōton ninjutsu such as the Kokuryū Bōfūsetsu, Kazahana Dotō believes that he will not lose to the ordinary Konoha Jōnin!
"Haku, I'll leave it to you. Let me see how much you've improved in the past few days." Naruto looked at Haku with a gentle smile.
"Alright, Lord Naruto." Haku tapped his finger lightly and instantly appeared in the palace hall.
