After reading Kanko Hyofo's profile, Mokgetsu could only say that having courage is a good thing.
Chakra amount is Mokgetsu's weak point, but even this weak point of Mokgetsu easily crushes Kanko Hyofo, because now Mokgetsu's Chakra is close to eighty thousand, almost twice that of Kanko Hyofo.
As for skills, there's no need to mention it, not only in quantity but also in quality, Mokgetsu overwhelmingly dominates.
Although the enemy is someone he can easily overpower, Mokgetsu still finds this investigation very valuable.
Even though Kanko Hyofo can't defeat him, he is still an enemy that Kakashi, Obito, and the others can't handle at the moment.
To be cautious, Mokgetsu decided to send two Shadow Clones to protect his disciples in the future, one in the open and one in the shadows, acting according to the situation.
"Since Kazahana Sosetsu may have discovered it, the plan must be changed. In the coming days, I'll be preparing probing work, once confirmed, we will immediately launch the coup," Kazahana Doto said, taking a sip of hot tea.
If the Snow Ninjas can't find the traitor, he will directly probe Kazahana Sosetsu and Mokgetsu, and as soon as something is amiss, he will immediately launch the coup.
Originally, Kazahana Doto intended to gradually pull the officials over to his side before launching the coup to minimize Snow Country's losses, but it seems there's no more time.
"Hmm, I will arrange for some reliable Snow Village Jonin to accompany you," Kanko Hyofo nodded and said.
The most central figure in this coup is Kazahana Doto, because he is the Daimyo's younger brother and has sufficient status.
Mokgetsu always used the Byakugan to watch Kazahana Doto leave the office, then used it to scout Snow Village, searching for the so-called Chakra Armor.
Indeed, the Byakugan is a convenient ability, offering long-distance observation and making it too easy to search for special places, quickly finding the underground laboratory.
However, the defensive strength of this place was slightly less than Mokgetsu had imagined, possibly because Snow Country is too remote and rarely experiences battles between Ninjas.
But the defensive strength meant nothing to Mokgetsu; if there were many people, he could storm in, if there were few, he would just go in directly, with not much of a difference in outcome.
In the laboratory, Mokgetsu only found a Chakra Armor for research, guessing that the completed Chakra Armors had already reached the hands of the Snow Ninja high-ups.
Mokgetsu did not take the laboratory's Chakra Armor, but instead took out a camera to document Snow Ninja's research data one by one.
Since the Snow Ninjas could create Chakra Armor, the materials must be in Snow Country, so as long as the technology is in hand, there's no worry about not having Chakra Armor.
After recording everything, Mokgetsu quietly left, sincerely hoping that the Snow Ninja could make another breakthrough in a short time, so that he could benefit again.
...
"Father, why are the seasons in our country all the same? There's no bloom in spring, and summer isn't hot," Kazahana Koyuki asked with confusion on her face after dinner.
Mokgetsu had explained to her before that the seasons were due to Snow Country's unique location, but she didn't understand what it meant.
"Because our country is located at the northernmost end of the Ninja World, the climate is too cold," Kazahana Sosetsu said, rubbing Kazahana Koyuki's head with a chuckle.
Kazahana Sosetsu, although a Daimyo, is more interested in various knowledge, particularly modern science and technology, rather than Emperor's Heart Technique.
Before becoming a Daimyo, Kazahana Sosetsu visited the Land of Fire, and he still hasn't forgotten the beautiful scenery of spring there.
But as beautiful as the Land of Fire is, it is not his country. The Kazahana Clan is Snow Country's royal family. Travel expenses are negligible, but many citizens of Snow Country cannot afford to travel to other countries and cannot see the spring scene with blooming flowers.
So before becoming a Daimyo, Kazahana Sosetsu was determined to use technology to change Snow Country's environment, allowing all its citizens to see the beautiful spring scenery with blooming flowers.
Therefore, Kazahana Sosetsu reduced funding to Snow Village and cut military spending to increase the development of civilian technology.
He also visited several small countries that exist well without a Ninja Village, so Kazahana Sosetsu believes Snow Country does not particularly need Snow Ninjas.
"Can't we move a little further south?" Kazahana Koyuki still didn't quite understand.
"Hahaha, our country isn't just a small piece of stone," Kazahana Sosetsu laughed, amused by his naive daughter.
"So, will our country never experience spring?" Kazahana Koyuki's voice was thick with disappointment.
Not knowing how seasons differ from each other wasn't an issue at first, but after realizing it, she felt unhappy knowing her country only has winter.
A rude guy like Obito can live in spring, yet well-behaved and cute Kazahana Koyuki has to spend her whole life in the cold winter.
"Of course not, as long as we firmly imagine that spring will arrive, the Snow Country will soon welcome its own spring," Kazahana Sosetsu replied earnestly.
The funds he cut were not wasted; the Snow Country has a precious mineral, and Kazahana Sosetsu discovered that this mineral contains a magical energy. Just a small amount added to the heating equipment can greatly enhance its effectiveness in an unbelievable way.
The Snow Ninjas call it Chakra Ore, but Kazahana Sosetsu prefers to call it Spring Warm Ore, which represents the hope of spring for the Snow Country.
Kazahana Sosetsu plans to build a gigantic heating system throughout the Snow Country to combat the cold.
"Really?" Kazahana Koyuki looked at Kazahana Sosetsu with anticipation.
"Of course it's true; how could I possibly lie to the adorable Princess Koyuki?" Kazahana Sosetsu smiled, pinching Kazahana Koyuki's chubby cheek.
Filled with beautiful fantasies, Kazahana Koyuki returned to her room to sleep. In her dreams, she envisioned the spring flower fields described by Mokgetsu, and she saw the end of winter and the arrival of spring in the Snow Country.
Just as Kazahana Koyuki was about to pick a flower to examine it closely, a voice woke her from her dream.
"Lady Koyuki, it's time to get up for breakfast."
Upon waking, Kazahana Koyuki recognized the voice as her maid who took care of her daily needs.
Kazahana Koyuki was a bit annoyed because she was just about to take a closer look at those beautiful flowers, and then, in an instant, the beauty all vanished.
However, as a kind and righteous princess, Kazahana Koyuki certainly wouldn't scold the maid; she just puffed up her cheeks to express her dissatisfaction.
"Lady Koyuki, I'm sorry, did I interrupt your sweet dream?" The maid, familiar with Kazahana Koyuki, immediately apologized upon seeing the familiar expression.
Kazahana Koyuki's anger completely dissipated, and she happily finished her breakfast.
"Brother Mokgetsu, can you continue telling me stories about the Land of Fire today? I still want to hear them." After finishing her meal, Kazahana Koyuki cutely approached Mokgetsu.
"I also have stories about the Land of Fire. Do you want to hear them?" Obito suddenly had an interesting idea.
"You?" Kazahana Koyuki grabbed the corner of Mokgetsu's clothes and looked at Obito with doubt.
"Don't underestimate me; in Konoha, I'm known as the Story King of the Land of Fire." Obito kept a straight face as he lied to the child.
Mokgetsu quietly watched Obito, curious about what he was up to.
"Really? Try telling one," Kazahana Koyuki still didn't quite believe Obito.
"Ahem, then listen carefully." Obito coughed twice and began his performance.
"During the Warring States period, there were two powerful ninja clans, one was the Uchiha Clan and the other was the Senju Clan. Originally, these two clans were mortal enemies, killing each other. However, the heirs of these clans formed a deep friendship in their childhood, bringing about a turning point..."
Obito recounted the history he heard from Mokgetsu, mimicking Mokgetsu's style. Although Obito's storytelling skills were average, the history was sufficiently dramatic and legendary, captivating Kazahana Koyuki for a moment.
"Based on the materials above, predict whether the two clans can successfully unite and explain, analyzing the impact of the era on their union..." Just as the story was about to reach its climax, Obito rattled off a string of questions.
Kazahana Koyuki, who had been listening attentively, suddenly felt her brain overloaded with Obito's questions. Though she recognized every word, she didn't understand what they meant together.
"Obito, you..." Obito's actions left Nohara Rin with mixed feelings.
Even Kakashi couldn't hold it in. The kid wants a story, and halfway through, you turn it into history questions, like there's some deep-seated grudge.
"This isn't even a story!" Kazahana Koyuki snapped back to her senses and immediately protested against Obito's shameful behavior.
Kazahana Koyuki labeled Obito as her arch-nemesis; she'd never met someone so cunning.
"You're a princess; why are you listening to stories? You're meant to inherit the throne and become a queen, so you should be studying instead. How else will you govern your country in the future?" Obito lectured Kazahana Koyuki seriously.
Every time he mentioned wanting to become Hokage, Kakashi always mocked him, and now he finally got to say the same words to someone else.
Kazahana Koyuki was at a loss for how to respond, as Obito's words seemed to make a lot of sense.
Her small face flushed as she felt that Obito wasn't speaking out of goodwill, so she wanted to retaliate. But the problem was, she really didn't know how to fight back.
"Koyuki, could you take me to see your father?" Mokgetsu poked his fingers at Obito's head and asked Kazahana Koyuki.
"No problem, it's not my father's work time yet. Wait, actually, I think he doesn't have to work today," Kazahana Koyuki replied, her good mood restored as she glanced at Obito clutching his forehead.
"Then please take me to him; I have something very important to discuss with your father," Mokgetsu said, patting Kazahana Koyuki's head.
Kazahana Doto is still trying to test? He'll just flip the table.
