Chapter 315: The Snowy Winds of Change [15]
Chapter 315: The Snowy Winds of Change [15]
In a distant town, Hinata Hyuga, adorned with the forehead protector of the Konoha ninja, walked ahead while Feng Ye followed closely behind. They were approaching the filming location of the 'The Adventures of the Wind and Cloud Princess' movie series.
As they neared the entrance, Hinata unconsciously slowed her pace, turning to look at Feng Ye with a timid expression. "Te...teacher."
Having him walk behind her made her feel somewhat uneasy.
Moreover, Feng Ye had already mentioned that this was her mission, and he would only be there to observe from the rear unless an unexpected situation arose, in which case he would intervene.
In other words, as the assigned ninja, she would have to negotiate with the client, devise an escort plan, and be responsible for everything that occurred during the journey.
"Don't be nervous," Feng Ye smiled reassuringly. "Go ahead and greet the client. You're already a qualified graduate ninja."
"Don't just stand there, get going!"
The second sentence wasn't spoken by Feng Ye, but by a fluffy fox with a length of about two to thirty centimeters, perched on Feng Ye's shoulder. Its tail and belly were adorably round, inviting anyone to give it a good rub.
Indeed, it was the Nine-Tails.
It had become a certified couch potato, faithfully following the 'The Adventures of the Wind and Cloud Princess' movie series. Due to its frequent movie-watching, it couldn't help but be curious about the live-action filming process. As there weren't any interesting new games or TV shows recently, it decided to tag along with Hinata's mission.
"It's... Lord Nine-Tails..." Hinata responded weakly to the Nine-Tails, then proceeded towards the inner workings of the film set.
Feng Ye trailed quietly behind, and soon they arrived at the heart of the film set.
Just as Hinata was about to greet the client, a dispute erupted among the crew, followed by a commotion coming from the front.
"I absolutely refuse to go to Snow Town!!!'
The current hottest actress in the Land of Fire, Fujikaze Yukie—or formerly known as Princess Fugetsu Yukihime of the Snow Country—was gritting her teeth in determination.
The ninja world had now unified under the Land of Fire, and the once-independent Snow Country had submitted to its rule, becoming a fiefdom known as Snow Town.
As her resolute voice echoed, Fugetsu Yukihime dashed out of the film set.
"Miss Yukie!!'
Shallow Three Lords reached out to grab the fleeing Fugetsu Yukihime, but she dodged his grasp and quickly escaped.
Hinata, who had just walked by, paused momentarily at the sight, unsure of what to do. She stood there as Fugetsu Yukihime ran past her.
From behind, the Nine-Tails, perched on Feng Ye's shoulder, remarked, "Oh, isn't that the Wind and Cloud Princess?" Its nine chubby, fluffy tails swayed gently as it spoke, drawing Fugetsu Yukihime's attention.
Startled by the Nine-Tails' voice, Fugetsu Yukihime's eyes landed on Feng Ye's shoulder, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"A fox?"
The Nine-Tails bristled at Fugetsu Yukihime's words. Its nine tails stood erect, and it glared at her. "Hey! Who're you calling a fox? I'm the great Nine-Tailed Demon Fox! And you, woman!"
Anyone calling it a fox, except for Feng Ye, who referred to it as a fox and to whom it had grudgingly accepted this designation, would cause it to bristle. This was because, in its opinion, its status was being undermined.
Fugetsu Yukihime was taken aback once more by the Nine-Tails' fierce outburst, and her steps faltered.
This momentary hesitation allowed Shallow Three Lords to catch up and grab her shoulder.
She was the daughter of Feng Hua Zaoxue, the former lord of the Snow Kingdom, and the sole heir to the throne. But ten years ago, Feng Hua Zaoxue's younger brother, Feng Hua Nuo, hired the Snow Shinobi to assassinate Feng Hua Zaoxue and seize control of the Snow Kingdom. She was rescued and escaped the Snow Kingdom, but after that, she had completely abandoned her claim to it.
Just over a year ago, the Snow Country surrendered to the Land of Fire, becoming the last of the small nations to submit to its rule, thus completing the unification of the Ninja World. Feng Hua Nu was then enfeoffed as the lord of 'Snow Town', continuing to govern the town while being monitored by officials sent by the Land of Fire.
Upon learning of this news, Feng Hua Xiaoxue didn't have any strong reactions.
Whether it was the Snow Country or Snow Town, she had already given up on them and had never harbored any thoughts of returning for revenge, overthrowing Feng Hua Nu, or reclaiming her position.
"Miss Yukie, no, Your Highness Princess... Please return to Snow Town. The Land of Fire will surely support you in succeeding to the position of lord, and they will remove Feng Hua Nu Tao," Asama Santayo said, gritting his teeth.
As a former vassal of the Snow Country, he clearly understood the current situation. He knew that for the stability of Snow Town, the Land of Fire had not stripped the Feng Hua clan of their status, but they had effectively placed Feng Hua Nuto under their control.
In this situation, if Feng Hua Xiaoxue, as the princess, returned to Snow Town, the Hidden Fire Village would undoubtedly support her in replacing Feng Hua Nuotuo as the lord. After all, compared to Feng Hua Nuotuo, Feng Hua Xiaoxue had almost no power or backing, but she was the rightful heir with pure blood, making her the perfect candidate.
After all, it was far more stable to prop up a puppet lord than to parachute in an outsider to govern Snow Town.
While Feng Hua Xiaoxue might not gain any real power, she would at least hold the position of lord and could possibly remain as a figurehead 'lord' in the future, continuing to manage the territory of Snow Town.
"That kind of thing is meaningless..."
Feng Hua Xiaoxue clenched her fists, then suddenly broke free from Asama Santayo's grasp.
The force of this action caused her to lose her balance, and she stumbled clumsily, colliding directly with Feng Ye.
Nine-Tails: "..."
Seeing Feng Hua Xiaoxue's disheveled state, which was a far cry from the 'Princess Wind and Cloud' in the movie, the Nine-Tails suddenly lost interest in the actress.
It wanted to go back to playing video games.
"..."
Feng Hua Xiaoxue, who had bumped into Feng Ye, steadied herself by holding onto his arm. Once she regained her balance, she tried to continue running away.
As her attention had been drawn by the Nine-Tails earlier, she hadn't paid much attention to Feng Ye. Now, as she looked up, her eyes met with Feng Ye's, who was also looking down at her.
His eyes were a brilliant azure blue, like sparkling gems.
His hair was silver-white.
His handsome and delicate features seemed untouched by makeup, yet they surpassed the appearance of any male actor she had seen before.
Feng Hua Xiaoxue paused for a moment.
"So... sorry..."
She then opened her mouth, sounding a little flustered, before quickly fleeing towards the distance.
As she escaped, she couldn't help but glance back, her gaze sweeping over Feng Ye and the Nine-Tails perched on his shoulder, a question forming in her mind.
Who is he?
I don't recall any famous actors by the name of Feng Ye... Could he be a new actor hired by the crew?
