Chapter 318: The Villain Always Makes a Sudden Appearance 【45】
Chapter 318: The Villain Always Makes a Sudden Appearance 【45】
After the director called "cut," Feng Hua Xiaoxue also came out of her acting state, lifting her head to gaze at the vast expanse of icy mountains and snow-capped peaks, a hint of bewilderment flashing in her eyes.
"Mr. Feng..."
"Do you really think I can defeat that person..."
Of course, the person she referred to was not the movie's demon king but Feng Hua Nu Tao, the current lord of Snow Town, who had killed her father.
Although Asama Santai had been explaining the current situation in the Ninja World to her, telling her that if she returned, the Fire Country would most likely support her rise to power, thus overthrowing Feng Hua Nu Tao.
Yet, she lacked confidence.
After all, such a matter relied heavily on others, and it was difficult to predict what means Feng Hua Nu Tao might have up his sleeve. The tragic scenes from the past flashed through her mind.
"Perhaps."
Feng Ye smiled gently.
He agreed with Asama Santai's analysis and estimated that the situation regarding Feng Hua Xiaoxue would reach Elk, who would also choose to support Feng Hua Xiaoxue's rise to power to swiftly stabilize this remote country in the far north of the Ninja World.
The problem was that Feng Hua Nu Tao would most likely not sit idly by and wait for his demise. If he got wind of this matter beforehand, he would undoubtedly take action and put up some resistance.
If the normal escort mission were to continue, with Hinata delivering Feng Hua Xiaoxue to the Snow Country and then leaving, it would be hard to predict what might happen. Perhaps she would die the next day from assassination, poisoning, or some other scheme.
However, if Feng Hua Nu Tao took action midway to the Snow Country, that would be a different story. Even with the normal plot progression, Feng Hua Nu Tao was likely to perish.
Speaking of which, these villains from the small countries always seemed to have some mysterious overconfidence. They either had some treasure or were blessed by a dragon vein, believing that once they obtained something, they could instantly dominate the Ninja World and crush the five great ninja countries.
In reality, though, the five great countries couldn't be bothered with them. At most, they would send a few elite ninjas to deal with the problem, which was already giving them more attention than they deserved.
Not to mention that the so-called treasure of the Snow Country was fake.
Even among the other small countries, the only thing that posed a slight threat was the dragon vein. The rest, like the magical creatures and monsters, were insignificant before the Nine-Tails.
A single swing of its tail would leave them disoriented.
"..."
Feng Hua Xiaoxue extended her hand and tightly gripped the hexagonal crystal hanging from her neck. It was a memento from her father and the key to unlocking the Snow Country's treasure.
Watching Feng Ye's retreating back, she sighed inwardly. If only the subsequent plotlines in the scripts were real.
In the movies, she would obtain the holy sword with Feng Ye by her side, defeat the demon king, and then return to their country together to inherit the throne. What a wonderful life that would be.
Alas,
It was just a movie.
Feng Ye was not a professional actor; he was merely a ninja temporarily filling in. And while she had indeed developed a crush on him during their time together, she couldn't bring herself to face him with such feelings, constantly preoccupied with thoughts of the Snow Country.
Why did she have to meet a man who made her heart flutter at a time like this? It would have been so much better if they had met earlier.
Not far away.
Hinata, with the Nine-Tails on her head, stared at the approaching Feng Ye with her adorable big eyes, a hint of a cute blush on her cheeks. Feng Ye's aura and demeanor during the acting had captivated her, especially knowing that he was a legendary ninja at the pinnacle of the Ninja World.
"So boring..."
The Nine-Tails lay on top of Hinata's head, completely covering her hair as if it were a fox hat.
It yawned as it looked at the approaching Feng Ye and then turned to the director with an unpleased expression. "Hey, when is it going to be my turn to make an appearance?"
Facing this arrogant fox, the director wasn't angry. After all, it was just a fox.
And a talking fox was a rare sight; its chubby appearance made it look rather adorable and silly.
"Soon, soon. You'll be in the next scene."
The director turned to the Nine-Tails and said, "In a moment, you'll appear as the guardian's pet, so feel free to be as arrogant as you like."
"?"
The Nine-Tails' swinging tail froze.
Did he just say...
Pet?
The director gave the Nine-Tails a slightly surprised glance, not quite understanding what was so impressive about a talking fox. "Does it have any special abilities?"
"Abilities?"
Feng Ye thought for a moment. "It can sense malicious intent, and it's also quite powerful."
"I see."
The director's eyes lit up with interest. "Then how about it makes an appearance as your battle partner?"
The ability to sense malicious intent was indeed intriguing and worth including in the movie. As for Feng Ye's comment about its strength, the director assumed he was referring to its ability to scratch up his face.
"Hmph!"
The Nine-Tails let out a displeased huff.
While it wasn't thrilled with the idea of a battle partner, it could accept it since Feng Ye was playing the role of the guardian.
"Alright, let's move on to the next filming location!"
The director began modifying the upcoming battle scene in his head while signaling to the crew to get ready to move.
Soon after, the entire crew boarded the ship again.
About two days later, the ship finally arrived at Snow Town, a world blanketed in white snow. As they docked, a snow-covered forest came into view on the shore.
"Perfect! This is the place," the director exclaimed, pleased with the scenery. He quickly directed the crew to set up the necessary equipment.
Feng Hua Xiaoxue, now changed into her costume, and Feng Ye stepped onto the set. Xiaoxue followed Feng Ye into the snowy forest, their eyes fixed on the expanse of snow-capped mountains ahead.
Suddenly, Xiaoxue tensed up and looked anxiously to the side.
Feng Ye smiled gently and reassured her, "Don't be afraid. It's my partner..."
The Nine-Tails emerged from behind a snowdrift, sitting proudly as it gazed at Feng Ye and Xiaoxue. "Who's this human you brought back? Who are you?"
"She's someone who wants to defeat the Demon King," Feng Ye explained.
"Oh? So you seek my power to achieve that goal? Well, you'll have to pass my test first," the Nine-Tails replied arrogantly.
This scene caused the director and the crew to break into smiles. The filming effect was excellent, perfectly blending cuteness and arrogance.
Although the Nine-Tails had ad-libbed a bit, it didn't matter. Its arrogant demeanor was part of its charm.
Just as the director was about to call "cut," there was a thunderous roar from the snow-capped mountains ahead, as if the very earth was shaking.
This sudden development startled Feng Hua Xiaoxue and Asama Santai, among others. Then, amidst the collapsing snow, a figure clad in black armor appeared.
"Long time no see, Xiaoxue... I thought you were dead," said Feng Hua Nu Tao, striding through the blizzard.
Asama Santai's expression darkened as he recognized the figure. "Feng Hua... Nu Tao?! What are you doing here?!"
"Waiting for you, of course," Nu Tao replied, his eyes fixed on Xiaoxue. "You should have the hexagonal crystal with you. Hand it over, Xiaoxue!"
Xiaoxue's face paled as she instinctively reached for the hexagonal crystal hanging from her neck. "The hexagonal crystal... What do you want it for?!"
"To claim the power your father left behind, of course," Nu Tao said, his eyes gleaming with a disturbing excitement. "Snow Country has already fallen and become a vassal of Fire Country. But with your father's power and my Chakra Armor, I will gain the strength to stand against Fire Country!"
A chilling thrill ran through Nu Tao as he rushed towards Xiaoxue, his hands moving swiftly to form seals.
"Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!"
He didn't want to waste time talking with Xiaoxue and the others, knowing that the Leaf Village ninjas might realize what was happening soon. He had to obtain the secret treasure of Snow Country before that happened!
RUMBLE!
As he performed the hand seals, the swirling snow in the sky gathered and took the form of a black snow dragon, rushing towards Feng Ye and the others.
