The Land of Snow is located at the northernmost tip of the Ninja World, covered in snow year-round and separated from the mainland of the Ninja World by the ocean.
As a result, the Land of Snow is highly isolated. Outsiders rarely come to this country, and even basic information is poorly understood.
Shintaro had never paid attention to this snowy country before. Fortunately, the information provided by Hiruzen included details about the Land of Snow.
The Daimyo of the Land of Snow is Kazahana Sosetsu, who has held the position for several decades. He has only one daughter, Kazahana Koyuki.
The person leading the rebellion this time is Kazahana Sosetsu's younger brother, Kazahana Doto.
Doto was dissatisfied with Sosetsu's rule, so he gathered forces to rebel.
Koyuki was in danger, so Sosetsu sent someone to command the Konoha Village. He didn't request Konoha's help to suppress the rebellion; he merely hoped that Konoha could send someone to escort his only heir out of the Land of Snow.
If the plot of the original movie is followed, Konoha only sent ANBU Kakashi. Not to mention his lack of strength at that time, but even so, he could only manage to save Koyuki.
But now, with Shintaro, everything is different.
After understanding the specific location of the Land of Snow, he took Kakashi and flew into the sky.
"Shintaro?" Kakashi looked confused.
"We're in a hurry, Kakashi, please be patient."
After saying that, Shintaro used [Instant Thunder] to disappear from the spot.
[Limitless Technique] compressed spatial coordinates, allowing Shintaro and Kakashi to instantly travel from the Land of Fire to the ocean surrounding the Land of Snow.
The scenery before them changed in an instant, from a winter forest to endless white snow.
"What a truly magnificent view. I could bring Kurenai here for a trip in the future."
While Shintaro sighed in amazement, Kakashi had no intention of marveling at the beautiful scenery.
The discomfort from teleportation wasn't something he could easily adapt to. Not to mention, he didn't have the same physical endurance as Tsunade, and the distance traveled using [Instant Thunder] this time was much farther than before.
Shintaro brought Kakashi to the ground and waited for him to finally adjust before continuing to rush toward the Land of Snow.
❀❀❀
Outside the Snow Castle standing atop a mountain, a group of samurai and four ninjas leading them were confronting the daimyo inside the castle.
Outside the city, there was a rebel army led by Doto and his three Snow Ninjas.
Rouga Nadare with blue hair and a high ponytail, Fuyukuma Mizore, a large, fat man with short purple hair, and Kakuyoku Fubuki with two pink hairpins pointing upward.
"Brother, give up. You have no way out now." Doto sneered and shouted toward the castle.
On the castle wall, the gentle-looking daimyo Sosetsu, wearing round-framed glasses, angrily shouted, "You're dreaming! Doto, the Land of Snow must not fall into the hands of an ambitious person like you."
"My ambition? Hmph, have you not seen what the Land of Snow has become under your rule?"
"Attack!" Doto no longer wanted to waste words and gave the order, and the three Snow Ninjas behind him stepped forward.
"As you command!"
Nadare lowered his hands from his chest and began forming seals with his hands.
"[Hyōton: Rōga Nadare no Jutsu]!"
A technique bearing the same name as him, it mobilized the surrounding snow and transformed it into a giant snow wolf that charged toward the castle.
With a crash, the castle gate collapsed.
Mizore launched his special ninja snowboard and was the first to rush into the castle. He was unstoppable, grabbing the castle guards and throwing them aside one by one.
"Hahahahaha! Pathetic!"
Fubuki, the only female ninja among the three Snow Ninjas, complained, "Such a bother, let's finish this together."
"[Hyōton: Tsubame Fubuki]."
She waved her hand, and countless ice shards flew forward from behind her, killing a large number of guards in front of her.
"Charge!" The rebel soldiers pursued their victory and rushed into the castle.
Doto slowly and proudly stepped into the castle, ready to claim the final prize with the attitude of a victor.
"The daimyo's position and the Kazahana family's treasures will be mine."
He grew more excited at the thought, but at that moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in the sky, interrupting his thoughts.
Doto Tao looked up and saw the headband of the other party.
"A Konoha ninja? Damn it! That bastard Sosetsu actually invited Konoha ninja here."
Doto hesitated for a moment and then made a decision, "So what if you're a Konoha ninja?"
"My chakra armor is enough to rival a Jonin!"
"Are you Kazahana Doto?" Shintaro slowly landed and asked.
"Indeed." Doto tore off his clothing, revealing a dark chakra armor.
The three Snow Ninjas also recognized the strong enemy and all dropped their current opponents and rushed forward.
"Doto-sama, we are here to assist you!"
Shintaro observed the armor on the people before him. This type of armor seemed to enhance the combat effectiveness of ninjas.
Wearing the armor, both Doto and Nadare had Jonin-level combat abilities. The other two were weaker, but not by much.
Doto, wearing the black armor, was undoubtedly the strongest. The other three wore white armor, which lacked the metallic luster and abundant chakra that the black armor possessed.
Shintaro's aura caused the four people in front of him to break out in a cold sweat. At that moment, Doto suddenly recognized his identity.
"You're the White-Haired Demon Eye!"
This shocked the three Snow Ninjas beside him, as they were all very proud and considered themselves a match for Konoha's Jonin.
However, none of them had the confidence to compete with the White-Haired Demon Eye, who had killed two Bijuu in the Third Ninja World War.
"So what if it's the White-Haired Demon Eye? It will only serve as a stepping stone for the rise of the Land of Snow!"
Doto gritted his teeth and said, "Let me show you the power of chakra armor!"
His words instilled confidence in the three Snow Ninjas, and the four of them took action together.
"[Hyōton: Haryū Mōko]!"
"[Hyōton: Rōga Nadare no Jutsu]!"
"[Hyōton: Tsubame Fubuki]!"
Doto and the others used their strongest techniques, while Mizore directly charged forward, intending to use his physical skills to defeat Shintaro.
"A bunch of frogs in a well."
Shintaro simply stood there and let the four of them attack.
However, the [Infinity] around him made it impossible for any of them to harm him.
"How is this possible?!!"
Doto was shocked. The chakra armor he had spent all his money researching, and his three strongest fighters couldn't harm the opponent at all.
The opponent didn't even try to dodge. This severely wounded their pride!
Shintaro wasn't interested in getting too involved, even with what they called chakra armor.
After all, this type of ninja armor that couldn't be mass-produced but had average power could only be considered a treasure in a remote country like the Land of Snow.
"[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue]."
The blue sphere instantly sucked in the four of them, and the armor on their bodies shattered into pieces.
The boiling ambition disappeared along with their lives.

Seeing Doto and the Snow Ninjas die instantly, the rebels were terrified and fled in all directions.
Shintaro flew into the air and used [Blue] to capture the rebels one by one.
By the time Kakashi escorted Kazahana Koyuki, the rebels had already been piled into a mound by Shintaro.
"Konoha ninjas are truly terrifying." Sosetsu said, trembling as he adjusted his glasses, looking at the mountain of rebels, and couldn't help but sweat coldly.
Power like that was enough for one person to topple an entire country.
Fortunately, the Konoha ninja he hired wouldn't attack his employer. Sosetsu could only comfort himself with this thought.
"Your Majesty Daimyo, the main perpetrator has been killed, and all the remaining rebels are here."
Shintaro turned around, his blue eyes dimly glowing in the night.
"The White-Haired Demon Eyes... Konoha is very fortunate to have sent such a powerful person." Sosetsu said, full of emotion.
"Oh...good, thank you for your help; otherwise, the Land of Snow would have fallen into the hands of my brother. He was an ambitious man, and the Land of Snow would not have fared well under his rule."
At this moment, Koyuki came running, tears streaming down her face.
"Father... I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid, Koyuki, the bad man has been defeated."
Koyuki hugged her father's leg and peeked out from behind him suspiciously. But when she saw Shintaro, she was frightened and started crying.
Behind Shintaro was a hill formed by the rebels, surrounded by a blood-stained battlefield. Coupled with his intimidating presence, it was indeed enough to make a child cry.
"I'm sorry, my little girl is too shy; please forgive her." Sosetsu said, holding his daughter, afraid of angering the white-haired demon-eyed man.
"It's okay." Shintaro didn't expect to make Koyuki cry, but he didn't care.
"Thank you very much. You saved the Land of Snow." Sosetsu said again, holding Koyuki and expressing his gratitude.
At this moment, a warrior rose from the crowd behind Shintaro. He seemed to be a loyal follower of Doto.
"Don't believe what he says! He's a liar!"
Shintaro and Kakashi turned to see a samurai in armor.
Just now, [Blue] didn't kill this miscellaneous warrior. Moreover, this warrior was lucky enough to be on the outskirts, so there were no serious injuries.
The warrior staggered, pointing at Sosetsu and cursing, "This foolish king collected money recklessly. He hid all the country's wealth and turned it into the Kazahana family's treasure."
"Doto-sama gathered an army because he couldn't stand it any longer. He was the force of justice! Only to overthrow this foolish king!"
Sosetsu's expression changed when he heard this, and Kakashi asked, "Your Majesty, is what he says true?"
Shintaro also looked at Sosetsu. He knew Sosetsu was not the foolish king that Doto portrayed, but he still planned to hear his explanation.
Sosetsu moved his lips but didn't speak. Then he sighed and said, "You both will know what the so-called treasure is."
He hesitated for a moment before releasing his daughter and taking Shintaro and Kakashi to a basin in the valley behind the palace.
The inside of the basin was flat and open, but it was covered with ice and snow. There were several large ice structures around, which didn't seem to be naturally formed.
They came to a pavilion. The top of the pavilion had an antique hexagonal roof, and the bottom was a platform with a small hole in the middle.
Sosetsu lowered Koyuki and removed a necklace from around his neck.
"This is the treasure I left for Koyuki and the Land of Snow."
There was a hexagonal crystal hanging from the necklace. Sosetsu took off the hexagonal crystal, showed it to the two of them, then walked to the pavilion and inserted the hexagonal crystal into the hole.
He then stepped back and waited for the device to activate.
Shintaro was the first to notice the change around them. He saw the snow in the entire basin begin to melt, and the melting snow turned into a stream. White mist began to rise around them, and his body felt warm.
"Is this the treasure? A geothermal generator?" Shintaro muttered.
Sosetsu adjusted his glasses, looking at his daughter as she curiously looked around, and said softly, "Yes, it's a geothermal generator."
After saying this, he looked up at the sky, as if waiting for something.
Under the sunlight, the large ice structures around began to melt slowly, revealing stone pillars and mirrored surfaces.
The sunlight emitted colorful rays after being reflected by the mirrors and refracted by the white mist in the air.
Under the combined influence of the geothermal heat and sunlight, the ice and snow on the ground melted, spring suddenly arrived in the snowy land, and then an image formed out of thin air in the sky.
"Believe in the future, and spring will surely come."
"What will Koyuki do when spring comes?"
In the air, a conversation between Sosetsu and his daughter took place.
"Koyuki will become a princess."
"What kind of princess will you be?"
"Be a gentle, strong, and pious princess."
"That's very difficult, but if you make your dreams your belief and pursue them without giving up, your dreams will surely come true."
"Can you see this? There is a beautiful princess standing here."
In the video, Sosetsu was seen putting the hexagonal crystal necklace on Koyuki.
"But Koyuki still worries about one thing, because she has another dream."
"What? Another dream."
"An actress."
When the video ended, young Koyuki was delighted to see it. She clapped her hands and laughed, feeling it was magical.
However, Sosetsu cried. He took off his glasses and wiped away his tears before calming down.
"I made this geothermal generator not only to show Koyuki a glimpse of spring and preserve that memory for her but also to bring spring to the Land of Snow."
"Although the geothermal generator can currently only be maintained within the scope of this basin, I believe that in time, the Land of Snow will become a country with a climate as pleasant as the Land of Fire."
Both Shintaro and Kakashi were deeply moved by Sosetsu's words.
Kakashi lamented the hardships Sosetsu faced as the daimyo of the Land of Snow. After all, as the daimyo, he didn't use the Land of Snow's money for his own pleasure but instead invested all of it in researching and developing the geothermal generator.
On the other hand, Doto, despite claiming to be a righteous warrior, invested a great deal of resources in researching war weapons like chakra armor, attempting to overthrow Sosetsu's rule and seize power.
The two men came to a conclusion, and the rebellious warrior's earlier statement was also nullified.
But Shintaro's feelings were entirely different.
In his view, the two brothers from the Kazahana family were merely a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes.
One person poured vast resources into researching a geothermal generator but didn't publicize it, leading to his being mistaken for a fool.
The other learned of the so-called treasure and hastily launched a rebellion.
However, the experience in the Land of Snow also provided Shintaro with some other benefits.
Originally, Hiruzen sent him to the Land of Snow to suppress the rebellion so that he would realize the consequences of rebellion.
But Shintaro learned the methods of rebellion from it.
This is the moral high ground.
Although Doto rebelled for the so-called treasure and power of the Kazahana family, he gained the support of everyone in the Land of Snow by publicizing his intentions to overthrow Sosetsu's rule, inspiring Shintaro's thoughts.
Hiruzen never imagined that the counter-rebellion mission he assigned would become the driving force behind the overthrow of his own government.
