Chapter 314: Koyuki Kazahana

In a village.

Hinata, who was wearing the forehead protector with the symbol of Konoha, was walking through the streets of the village, and Yeruashi was following her.

Soon, she arrived at the location of the film crew of 'The Adventure of Princess Fuun'.

Approaching the entrance, Hinata slowed down in a voluntary manner and looked shyly at Yeruashi, "Sensei..."

Hinata thought it was very wrong for Yeruashi to walk behind her.

Besides, Yeruashi had said earlier that this was solely her mission, and that he would simply follow her and not interfere unless something unexpected happened.

This means that she is the one who should take the mission and negotiate with the client, and then independently make an escort plan and be responsible for anything that might happen along the way.

"No need to be so nervous," Yeruashi smiled, "Go greet the client, you're already an academy graduate and a qualified shinobi."

"Stop standing there like fools, go faster!"

The second sentence had nothing to do with Yeruashi, it was spoken by a fox about twenty or thirty centimeters long, lying on his shoulder.

The fox's tails were very fluffy and provoked a strong desire to pet it.

Of course...

It was Kurama.

He had already become a super skilled otaku fox and was very fond of the Princess Fuun movie series. Due to regular movie watching, Kurama no doubt felt a genuine interest in the filming process. No decent movies or games have been released recently, so after learning about Hinata's mission, Kurama also decided to go for a walk.

"Ah... Kurama-sama...", Hearing Kurama's cry of impatience as he lay on Yeruashi's shoulder, Hinata looked at him shyly and turned to the crew filming the movies.

Yeruashi stayed close, and Hinata quickly approached the crew, but at that moment, a loud scream suddenly came from the crew.

"I will never return to the Snow Country!!!", Yukie Fujikaze, the famous actress of the Fire Country, or rather Koyuki Kazahana, the Princess of the Snow Country, shouted loudly to the person in front of her.

To date, the Shinobi world has been completely unified, including the Snow Country and the Fire Country, becoming the Snow Region.

With a determined shout, Koyuki Kazahana rushed out from the crew.

"Miss Yukie!", Sandayu Asama reached out, trying to grab Koyuki Kazahana, but she deftly dodged and quickly ran away.

Hinata froze at the sight of this scene. For a while, she simply didn't know what to do, silently watching Koyuki run past her.

Behind her.

"Ah... it's Princess Fuun," Seeing Koyuki running, Kurama's nine furry tails, lying on Yeruashi's shoulder, began to tremble, betraying excitement.

Kurama's excited voice caught Koyuki's attention, and she looked at Yeruashi and exclaimed in surprise, "A fox?"

A talking fox?

Kurama's red hair immediately stood on end, and he looked at Koyuki with annoyance and exclaimed, "Hey! What fox?! You, woman! My name is Kurama!!!"

With the exception of Yeruashi, who always calls him a fox, Kurama will not tolerate such treatment from other people. Usually, this is enough to instantly infuriate Kurama, because in the fox's opinion, it clearly challenges his status and dignity.

Koyuki involuntarily slowed her steps, looking at the angry fox who had his fur bristling.

Sandayu Asama took advantage of this delay to grab her shoulder.

"Let me go!", Koyuki turned around and exclaimed in exasperation, "No matter how hard you try, there's no way I'm going back there... to that country, no way..."

In the past, she was the daughter of the Daimyo and the sole heir of the Snow Country, but about ten years ago, her uncle, Doto Kazahana, killed her father and seized power in the Snow Country, and she was driven out of the country by her father at the last moment, after which she became completely indifferent to the Snow Country.

About a year ago, the Snow Country bowed its head to the rapidly expanding Fire Country, by which time it was the last independent country in the Shinobi world, and with its accession, the world was finally unified, while Doto Kazahana became the Daimyo of the Snow Country and continued to be responsible for its administration under the supervision of officials sent by the Fire Country.

Koyuki did not pay much attention to this news.

Snow Country or Snow Region?

It didn't matter to her...

She didn't even think about revenge.

Koyuki didn't think about overthrowing Doto and becoming the ruler of Snow Country at all.

"Miss Yukie, no, Princess.... I ask you to return to the Snow Region! The Fire Country will certainly support you in this matter," Sandayu Asama looked at Koyuki and said decisively.

In the past, she was a loyal assistant to Sosetsu Kazahana and understood the current situation well. Sandayu knew that although the Fire Country had not stripped the Kazahana family of their status for the sake of the stability of the Snow Region, they definitely controlled the Doto.

Under such circumstances, once Koyuki returns to the Snow Region as Princess, the Fire Country will definitely side with her and they will give her the position of Daimyo of the Snow Region instead of Doto, because compared to Doto, Koyuki is the rightful successor of the previous Daimyo. and just as importantly, she has practically no power and influence in the Snow Region.

After all.

The Snow Region will be much more stable under the leadership of a legitimate and controlled Daimyo than under the leadership of an uncontrolled person who previously seized power by force.

Although Koyuki would not gain much influence and power in this case, he would still be able to control the Snow Region to some extent by assuming the position of Daimyo.

"None of this makes sense...", Koyuki clenched his fists and shook violently, trying to free himself from Sandayu's grip.

In doing so, she lost her balance, stumbled and fell to the side.

As a result, Koyuki bumped into Yeruashi.

Kurama: "..."

Looking at Koyuki's behavior, Kurama suddenly lost interest in the actress playing the role of Princess Fuun.

He felt a strong desire to return to his favorite clearing and continue playing.

"..."

Koyuki, who had bumped into Yeruashi, reached out to grab Yeruashi's arm, preparing to get up and run again.

Previously, all of Koyuki's attention was focused on Kurama and she didn't care about Yeruashi at all, but at this moment, when she looked up, she saw Yeruashi's eyes looking at her.

The pupils of his eyes were jewel blue.

Silver-white hair.

A beautiful, refined face that seemed to have no makeup on it, but completely surpassed the beauty of any actor she had met so far.

Koyuki froze in place.

"Ah... excuse me...", Then she came to her senses, apologized to Yeruashi in confusion and quickly ran away.

As she walked away, Koyuki involuntarily glanced back, once again looking at Yeruashi and the red nine-tailed fox lying on her shoulder.
