Chapter 317: The Villain Always Appears Suddenly

With a shout from the headmaster, Koyuki immediately stepped out of the paper and looked with confusion at the snow-white icebergs and snowy peaks around him.

"Yeruashi-sama..."

"Do you really think I can defeat the Demon King?"

These words, of course, did not refer to the Demon King from the movie, but to the Daimyo of the Snow Region and her father's murderer, Doto Kazahana.

Although Sandayu had already described to him the political situation in the world and assured him that as soon as he returned, the Fire Country would be on her side, but Koyuki still had no confidence in himself.

After all, everything came from other people, and it is hard to predict what Doto might do.

Scenes of tragedies from the past flashed through Koyuki's mind.

"Maybe..."

Yeruashi smiled slightly.

He agreed with Sandayu's analysis.

According to Yeruashi's assessment, after learning about Koyuki's situation, Shikaku would definitely decide to support her to stabilize the territory located in the remote northern part of the continent.

But the problem is that Doto will not stand idly by.

After knowing this beforehand, he would definitely start resisting.

If events will unfold according to the plot of a normal escort mission, it is difficult to predict what will happen next. After Hinata quietly escorts the client to the Snow Region and returns to Konoha, Koyuki may be poisoned or kidnapped the next day.

But if Doto decides to make a move before Koyuki arrives, that's a completely different matter, even in the case of the development according to the original plot, Doto is most likely waiting for death.

It is worth saying that the villains of these small countries are too arrogant and obsessed. They all think that by acquiring some special power such as the Dragon Vein, they can crush the five Great Villages and dominate the world.

But in fact, after learning this, the Five Great Villages do not pay much attention to them, sending some Jounins to solve the problem can already be considered a 'serious attitude'.

Not to mention that the so-called treasure of the Snow Country is fake.

Even talking about other small countries, although something like the Dragon Vein or Mōryō is capable of being a certain threat, but these are only minor incidents compared to the same Kyubi rampage.

Kurama can roll them away with just a flick of his tail.

"..."

Koyuki reached up and grabbed the Hex Crystal hanging from her neck.

It was an heirloom left behind by her father, as well as the key to discovering the treasure of the Snow Country.

She sighed involuntarily as she looked at Yeruashi walking away.

How wonderful it would be if the later events of the movie script turned out to be true....

To receive the sacred sword and, accompanied by Yeruashi, defeat the Demon King, and then take the throne with him, would be a wonderful life....

What a pity.

It's just a movie.

Yeruashi is just a temporary guest shinobi, not a professional actor. Although he made Koyuki's heart jump these days, now she put it aside and constantly thought about the Snow Country.

Why had she just met a man who could touch her heart? It could have been completely different if it had happened earlier...

Not too far away.

Hinata stared at Yeruashi with Kurama on his head, wide-eyed and with a precious blush on her cheeks, the way Yeruashi had acted just now had made her heart throb with admiration, especially when she knew that Yeruashi was a legendary ninja at the top of the Shinobi world.

"Ah, how boring..."

The Kurama that completely covered the top of Hinata's head and ears looked like a fox hat.

He looked at Yeruashi and let out a lazy sigh, then shot a look of annoyance at the principal, "Hey, when is it my turn to show up?"

The principal was no longer angry when confronted with this arrogant and overbearing fox.

After all, he's just a fox....

Besides, talking foxes are very rare, and this one is also chubby and fluffy, which looks very cute.

"Soon, you'll be participating in the next scene."

The director looked at Kurama, "You will be playing a guardian pet, such an arrogant attitude is perfect."

"???"

Kurama suddenly froze abruptly.

What...

What did he just say?!

A pet...?

Seeing that Kurama was about to explode, Yeruashi smiled and looked at the director, "You have to prepare an awesome plot for him, this fox is really very special."

"Really?"

The director looked at Kurama in surprise, not understanding what this little fat fox could be capable of, "Does he have any special abilities?"

"Abilities..."

Yeruashi said thoughtfully, "It can sense bad emotions and is quite strong."

"I see..."

The director was thoughtful and said, "Then it will be your battle partner."

The ability to sense malice actually makes sense and suits the battle partner well, as for the words about being "Strong", the director completely ignored them.

From his point of view, for this fat fox, the most he could do was to scratch a person's face...

"Hmph!"

Kurama snorted coldly.

That role was quite acceptable to him, because Yeruashi would be his partner.

"Great, let's go to the next shooting location!"

The crew director waved to the group as he reviewed in his head the next part of the plot.

The men quickly returned to the ship.

In a couple of days.

The ship finally arrived in the Snow Region.

It was a snow-white world of snow and ice.

On the shore was a beautiful forest, completely covered by a blanket of snow.

"Great, this is going to do."

The director looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

The people on the boat immediately got to work, beginning to prepare to film.

After changing clothes, Koyuki and Yeruashi went ashore.

Koyuki followed Yeruashi as he strolled through the snow-covered forest.

"Who?!"

Suddenly, Koyuki looked cautiously in a certain direction.

Yeruashi smiled, "Don't worry, this is my partner..."

Not far away, Kurama appeared in the middle of the snow, looking proudly at Yeruashi and Koyuki, "Why did you come back with a human? who is she?"

"She wants to defeat the devil." Yeruashi said.

"That's all... You want my great power? Then you must pass the test!"

Kurama looked at Koyuki proudly.

The headmaster smiled excitedly as he watched, as he expected, the arrogance and cute appearance combined very well.

Although Kurama slightly changed the plot, but it doesn't matter, because this arrogant fox is quite interesting in itself.

Just when the shooting of the scene was about to end.

Boom!!!

The nearby snow mountain suddenly shuddered and collapsed.

The scene startled Sandayu, Koyuki and the others, and a moment later they saw a human figure in strange armor emerge from the snow.

"It's been so long, little Koyuki..."

"I was beginning to think you were dead."

Doto appeared, clad in black chakra armor.

Seeing Doto, Sandayu exclaimed in a dazed voice, "Doto.... Doto?! How did you get here? why...?"

"Of course I've been waiting for you."

Doto looked coldly at Koyuki and exclaimed, "Give me the Hex Crystal immediately! Koyuki, I know you have it!"

Koyuki turned very pale and unconsciously grabbed the Hex Crystal hanging from her neck, "Father's Hex Crystal.... Why do you need it?!"

"To obtain the power he left behind, of course.... Snow Country has fallen and become part of Fire Country, but with the power your father left behind and the chakra armor, I'll be able to resist Fire Country!"

Doto exclaimed with undisguised excitement and ran towards Koyuki, at the same time quickly performing a series of seals.

"Ice Jutsu: Black Dragon Blast!!!" (Hyōton: Kokuryū Bōfūsetsu).

He wasn't going to waste time on unnecessary conversations with Koyuki and the others, because Konoha should react soon.

He must seize the power of the Snow Country's secret treasure as soon as possible!

Whoosh!!!

With Doto's shout, the surrounding snow turned wild and formed a huge black dragon, which headed towards Yeruashi, Koyuki and the others.
