After Asama Sandayū and Yukie Fujikaze were invited into the conference room, Sasuke soundlessly stationed himself in front of the door. The tension in the cabin was as sharp as the arctic wind outside.
"Based on the fight just now, I'm almost certain the attackers were subordinates of the Land of Snow's daimyō, Dotō Kazahana," Kakashi's voice was steady. "Ten years ago, I accepted a mission that brought me here. Back then, surrounded by Snow Ninja, I spirited the former daimyō's daughter—Fuka Yukiyuki—out of the Land of Snow."
He turned to the actress. "Their target must be you, Princess of the Land of Snow—Fuka Yukiyuki."
Yukie Fujikaze—or rather, Fuka Yukiyuki—gave a slight nod, her voice trembling: "It's me."
Kakashi uncovered his left Sharingan; three tomoe spun within the crimson pupil. "And you, Mister Sandaifu, who's so desperate to bring Princess Yukiyuki home—whose side are you really on?"
Sakura immediately pulled Fuka Yukiyuki back, putting distance between her and the manager. The air in the room froze. Under their questioning stares, Sandaifu didn't flinch; instead, grief flooded his face.
"I was a vassal of His Highness Hayayuki," he spoke in a heavy, reverent voice. "The Land of Snow was peaceful under his rule. But ten years ago, his own brother—that bastard Dotō Kazahana—launched a bloody coup and seized the nation by force!"
Sandaifu turned to Yukiyuki, eyes brimming with tears. "I thought you had perished. When I found you on that film set, I knew it was a sign from heaven. Your Highness! With these Konoha Ninja, we can surely overthrow the usurper!"
"Um… let me butt in." Naruto raised a hand, cutting short the impassioned speech. He scratched his head and said seriously: "The mission we accepted is an A-rank escort. But assassinating a daimyō is a top-tier S-rank mission, and the pay has to match."
His meaning was clear: they'd fight for the princess, but an A-rank fee for an S-rank war was a bad deal. Sandaifu didn't hesitate. "If you can slay Dotō, we will gather whatever sum you demand! It is the yearning of every citizen!"
Naruto looked at Kakashi, who merely shrugged. This mission had already escalated beyond what Genin were supposed to handle, but as Kakashi mused, "The kid learned fast after the Land of Waves."
"Only by embracing hope can we greet a brighter future," the director added, his eyes burning with creative fervor. "I'm giving this film a makeover! A real princess playing a princess… the drama is irresistible! I'll even pay the Ninja performance fees."
"Enough!" Fuka Yukiyuki cut him off, her voice shaking with dread. "We only got lucky against those three! Who knows how many Snow Ninja he still has? How can we stand against him?"
"Turning back is no longer an option," Kakashi's calm voice broke through her retreat. "Before the battle began, the man Naruto eliminated was Dotō's strongest—Roga Nadare. As long as they don't bring an entire army, there's little difference between facing a handful of Snow Ninja or several dozen."
