Chapter 332: Special Commission

"Let me reach the other side of the rainbow!!"

Accompanied by Fuun-hime's motivating words and her relentless spirit on the screen, a group of brave guards by her side finally started to explode with energy and took down the final big demon king, a typical Japanese melodramatic scene.

"Finally finished watching..."

"I swear I will never bring kids to the cinema to watch such boring melodramatic movies again. I'd rather go see a romance movie with Yugao and the others..."

After enduring to the end of the movie, Yu hurriedly took Haku and Kimimaro out of the theater. Someone hiding in the dark and peeking didn't escape his Observation Haki's sensing, but since they were ordinary people without Chakra, they naturally didn't catch his attention.

"It was so good!!"

"That Fuun-hime is really beautiful!!"

After walking out of the cinema, Haku was still excitedly discussing the melodramatic scenes from the movie with Kimimaro, causing Yu walking in front of them to roll his eyes.

"Even you two got so excited..."

Yu was speechless, not expecting the usually calm Haku and the stern Kimimaro to be so stirred up by a movie that he found extremely boring. He couldn't help but curl his lips, "It seems this type of movie must have tricked a lot of kids into becoming fans..."

"Neigh!!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a long horse neigh suddenly echoed. A girl dressed in a luxurious kimono rode in on a white horse, leaping high from behind the theater, followed by a large group of samurai clad in black armor.

"Ah... that..."

Seeing the young girl on the white horse being chased by a group of black-armored samurai, Haku was stunned, his mouth wide open in shock, "Isn't that Fuun-hime from the movie?!"

After saying that, Haku, still uncertain, turned back to look at the giant poster pasted on the cinema. The actress playing Fuun-hime, the famous Fujikaze Yukie, looked exactly like the girl on the white horse being pursued!

"Fuun-hime... Fujikaze Yukie... Kazahana Koyuki..."

Looking at the noble and beautiful Fuun-hime on the giant poster, Yu muttered thoughtfully, some long-forgotten memories finally crossing his mind. "I see... I remember now... Haku, Kimimaro, go save her!!"

"Yes!!"

At Yu's command, Haku and Kimimaro instantly vanished from their spot with Body Flicker Technique.

"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Camellia!!"

Kimimaro, proficient in Taijutsu, immediately blocked the way of the black-armored samurai. Using his Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai, he drew a bone sword from his left arm as a weapon. With precise and flexible Taijutsu, he launched a series of powerful attacks, quickly defeating the group of black-armored samurai in front of him.

"Water Release: Wild Water Wave Jutsu!!"

Haku, appearing behind Kimimaro, also sprang into action. After quickly forming hand seals and taking a deep breath, he performed a C-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, spewing a large volume of water waves from his mouth, sweeping away all the remaining black-armored samurai in front of him.

"Who are you two...?"

After stopping her galloping white horse, Fujikaze Yukie, the actress playing Fuun-hime, was slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of Haku and Kimimaro and their impressive display of skill in saving her.

At around sixteen or seventeen years old, she looked to be about the same age as Yu, possessing an air of nobility and a beauty as pure as snow, with striking dark long hair. However, her occasionally distant gaze gave off a sense of aloofness.

"Miss Fujikaze Yukie!!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly called out from not far away.

"Miss Fujikaze Yukie! So you're here, that's great!!"

An elderly man with long hair tied back and wearing black round glasses hurried over, panting heavily. He was followed by a large group of film crew members.

"Haku, Kimimaro, let's go!"

After seeing that the actress Fujikaze Yukie had been rescued by Haku and Kimimaro, Yu had no interest in socializing and turned away, leaving without a second glance.

"Sir! Please wait!!"

However, seeing Yu leaving with the two young ones, the elderly man with black round glasses hurried after him. "I am Sandayu Asama, Miss Fujikaze Yukie's manager. We haven't had a chance to thank you for saving Miss Fujikaze Yukie yet..."

"Enough with the pleasantries..."

Stopping in his tracks, Yu looked at the bearded man, Sandayu Asama, with a calm gaze. "I believe you must have already recognized my identity. You were the one secretly watching me in the theater, weren't you?"

"Th-that..."

Caught off guard by how easily Yu saw through him, and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the young and handsome ninja, Sandayu Asama began to sweat.

"Stop with the poor performance. If you have something to say, just speak plainly."

Seeing Sandayu Asama's fearful expression, Yu raised an eyebrow and spoke.

"Scarlet... Scarlet Yu-sama..."

It was unexpected that the young Yu was so perceptive. Seeing that despite his age, he couldn't conceal anything from the other party, Sandayu Asama's face showed a struggle before he finally made up his mind and knelt down. "The situation is like this... I want to hire you to protect Princess Koyuki and escort her back to the Land of Snow..."

After Sandayu Asama's explanation, everyone present finally understood. It turned out that the popular actress Fujikaze Yukie, who played Fuun-hime, was actually Kazahana Koyuki, the princess of the Land of Snow, and Sandayu Asama's real identity was the Prime Minister of the Land of Snow.

Years ago, Kazahana Koyuki's uncle, Kazahana Doto, had heard rumors of a secret treasure hidden in the Land of Snow. He hired Snow Ninjas to overthrow the Land of Snow, killed his brother, Kazahana Koyuki's father and the ruler of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Sousetsu, and attempted to kill his own niece, Kazahana Koyuki, to cover up his crimes.

However, Kazahana Koyuki was saved by the then Konoha ANBU member, copy ninja Hatake Kakashi, but the entire Land of Snow had already fallen into the hands of the usurper Doto.

So, by a stroke of chance, meeting the now highly renowned Scarlet Yu in a theater in the Land of Fire, Sandayu Asama, who was determined to help Princess Kazahana Koyuki reclaim her country, decided to risk his life and make a hiring request to Yu.

"Hire me?"

Hearing that Sandayu Asama wanted to hire him to protect Princess Koyuki of the Land of Snow and escort her back to her country, Yu yawned in boredom and directly refused without a second thought. "Sorry, I'm not interested..."

Hiring a Ninja for missions is a common occurrence in the Ninja world and is a crucial part of its structure. The more famous a Ninja, the more likely they are to receive hiring requests from various parties.

For example, since the Warring States period, the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan, the strongest clans of their time, were highly sought after for hiring. However, with Yu's current strength and resources, he dismisses such ordinary hiring requests, as the rewards offered do not attract him at all.
