26 The new Era for Land of Snow (1/2)

The night ended with excitement and burning of new hope. The Filming crew was just going with atmosphere but only the people Land of Snow knew how much important the coming event was.

As for Naruto, he slept like a log leaving one of his clones to guard the hideout. The expected attack didn't come letting Naruto have his much-needed sleep.

Next, the hideout was in full preparation as the director led his cameraman around filming the preparation done by the resistant army. Asama was able to gather more men by the midday and he had around 200 men ready to attack the castle.

Koyuki got into character after Naruto's persuasion and led the charge riding the horse along with the 200 men behind.

The Director drove a vehicle from the side capturing the epic charge as they got close to the dark and grim castle.

The castle wall was filled with archer and many other motor-mounted weapons like the one in the train.

”Earth Release: Earth Wall,” Naruto said as he slammed his hand ground creating multiple walls ahead of Resistant Army shielding them from the arrows.

”Archers bring them down,” Koyuki said in a grand manner as she hid behind the wall Naruto created.

Koyuki's army had about 50 archers and soon they started to shoot down the archers on top of the Castle wall. Of course, they would not be able to clear them out. Naruto had few transformed clones hidden in the army and they quickly cleared the enemy archers.

There weren't many, to begin with as Doto relied on his technology and his three rogue Ninjas. As for the motor-mounted weapons, all that took to destroy it was kunai attached with explosive tags.

The explosions were well appreciated in the movies. The gates were soon destroyed and the army charged in killing the Doto's men in the process. Doto's small army collided with Koyuki's own resistance and blood spilled.

Naruto didn't take much part in it as he saw them as a necessary sacrifice to cement Land of Snow's new foundation. He could have just taken down the castle and Doto single-handedly but then what? Would the people of Land of Snow appreciate it or would they just live in fear as a single man can destroy a nation whenever he feels like it?

Would they be able to treasure their new found freedom or they would just wait for others to help when they are in peril? Kids could ask for money from their parents and waste it without care but they would only know its true value when they start to earn it themselves.

Same could be said in this case as the people of Land of Snow needed to spill their own blood in order to understand the importance of their country and their freedom. Besides Naruto had already done more than enough, it was not good to let them ride in his shoulder all the time.

Koyuki along with Naruto and the rest of anybody who was alive arrived in the main hall of the castle for the final confrontation. ”Doto, this ends today. Surrender you've already lost” Koyuki said in a stern voice.

”Hmph, the only reason you're alive is because I let you live till now.Hand over the hex crystal and I'll let to walk out of here alive.” Doto said in contempt.

”Your men have already been defeated, you're weapons are already destroyed and there is only two of you left. What makes you think you've won?” Koyuki said again

”Hmph, what makes you think I need those worthless cowards or those weapons. I'll deal with you and your blonde knight myself.” Doto said taking off his robe and revealing a shiny black Chakra armor. The newest prototype and even more enhanced than what Nadare and his team wore.

”Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard” Doto jumped down from his throne and threw a fist towards Koyuki. A black ice dragon formed from his fist and flew towards Koyuki and her men.

”Fire Release: Fire Dragon Storm” Naruto countered it using his fire dragon and the collision of two dragons created a massive shock wave sending Koyuki and his remaining men flying in the air before gravity pulled them back down.

”Hyaaa, Die” Doto ran towards Naruto smashing his fist towards Naruto's face. Naruto decided to put up and act and barely countered Doto. With each blow, Naruto seemed to be in losing grounds as he was sent flying through the air and smashed into the wall.
