Chapter 40 Snow Country!

The closer they got to the Snow Country, the faster the temperature dropped. When they were still six or seven hundred meters away from the border between the two countries, the temperature had dropped to more than twenty degrees below zero.

Bai An didn't feel anything, but the other three had already hugged their shoulders and started shivering.

Although Konoha Village also has winter and snow, because it is located in the Central Plains, the temperature will not exceed minus 15 degrees Celsius. The temperature here is far beyond what the three people can bear.

Hinata Jyouku's teeth chattered

"We haven't even arrived yet...into the Snow Country, and it's already so...cold. What will it be like when we get to the Snow Country?"

Bai An looked at the status of the three people and said

"Didn't I tell you to put on more clothes?"

Suddenly he turned into a sly smile and said, "What? You didn't bring it?"

Itachi gritted his teeth and said, "When making the travel plan, you didn't mention coming to this snow country. Who do you think will be prepared?"

Uchiha Izumi also wanted to scold Bai'an, but she was afraid that the last bit of warmth would be gone once she opened her mouth, so she kept her mouth shut and echoed Uchiha Itachi, scolding Bai'an with body language.

Bai An shrugged and said, "Who can you blame for not making some preparations before traveling?"

Bai An's words made some sense. The three of them fell silent. Then, Bai An said

"But I'm ready."

The three of them became spirited again.

Bai An smiled maliciously and looked at the three people.

Itachi immediately understood the meaning behind this smile, "Stop wasting time, just tell me how much it is."

Bai An said seriously, "Hey, I am not the kind of person who is blinded by money. I am just trying to teach you a lesson."

He took out a storage scroll and unfolded it.

"Oh!"

About ten pieces of clothing and pants appeared.

Bai An laughed obscenely and said, "Hehe, plush is fifty, wool is one hundred, cotton-padded jacket is one hundred and fifty, animal skin is three hundred..."

The three of them shouted in unison

"White! Second! Dog!"

......

After a while, Bai An was walking while counting money. Three people behind him, wearing thick clothes, stared at Bai An with anger in their eyes.

Hinata Jingkong turned around and whispered, "Hey, Bai Ergou, isn't he cold? I don't see how thick his clothes are."

Quan nodded, "Maybe some heating technique."

Itachi: "He should have gotten used to this temperature a long time ago."

Hinata Jingkong and Uchiha Izumi were surprised and said, "Ah! Have you already adapted to it?"

Itachi nodded and said

"Didn't you notice that he was more comfortable than us when he was in the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind? This shows that he had already adapted to it in advance."

"As for why he adapted to the Snow Country so quickly, he must have been to the Frost Country before. The temperature there is similar to here. Both are extremely cold places."

Hinata Jingkong looked at Bai An's back seriously and said, "Is this the reason why he is so powerful?"

Itachi looked at the expression on Hinata Jingkong's face, then turned his head and looked at Bai An's back, and said

"Then you underestimate him. Ever since I met him, he has been very strong. As time goes by, his strength is also improving rapidly. The training we are going through now is just a drop in the bucket for him."

Hinata Jingkong was full of confusion and asked, "A drop in the bucket? Isn't he practicing every day just like us?"

Itachi looked at Hinata Jingkong and continued, "Do you know how much weight he is carrying?"

Hinata Jingkong: "Is it different from us? I can only hold more than 300 kilograms."

Itachi smiled and said, "He carries nearly 600 kilograms of weight on him."

Hinata Jingkong and Uchiha Izumi both took a deep breath, "Almost six...six hundred kilograms."

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

Hinata Jingkong: "Are you sure he is the same age as us? He can't be that old man in disguise."

Itachi continued

"When my chakra was first sealed, this idiot taught me his way."

Hinata Jingkong was puzzled, "Aren't you a knife player?"

Itachi explained to him, "Taijutsu and Kendo do not conflict. Taijutsu includes Kendo, and Kendo is just a tool to perform Taijutsu."

Hinata Jingkong nodded with great satisfaction.

Uchiha Itachi continued

“The reason why I didn’t follow Bai Ergou’s path is because his training method is extremely harsh and not suitable for me.

"That kind of strength is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. It requires strong willpower. For him, it is strong willpower, but for us, it is abnormal."

Itachi looked at Hinata Jingkong and asked, "Before this, how long did you spend on physical training?"

Hinata Jingkong thought for a moment and said, "Three hours."

Itachi: "He would spend more than six hours practicing physical fitness, every day."

Hinata Jingkong: "But wasn't it the same when we were in the desert?"

Itachi: "It's different. We are slow, but he is efficient."

"How many times do you practice a basic move?"

Hinata Jingkong thought for a moment and said, "Four to five times."

Itachi: "He can perform one of his moves a hundred times, or even a thousand times in a day. You've seen one of his moves before. Remember the one where he kicked and crushed the ice dragon?"

Hinata Jingkong nodded, "Yeah, I remember, that move is very powerful."

Itachi: "That's the result of doing it hundreds or thousands of times a day."

Hinata Jingkong was surprised and asked, "What?"

Itachi: "In his own words, I am not afraid of an enemy who knows a hundred kinds of punches, I am afraid of an enemy who specializes in one punch."

"I didn't continue to follow Bai Ergou's path. There is actually another reason, and that is the speed of my body's recovery."

"That idiot's body recovery speed is extremely abnormal. Every time we finish training, we end up exhausted."

"When we met again the next day, his physical condition was as good as normal, while mine had only recovered to a quarter of its original state."

"It's the same with injuries. It might take me two days to recover, but this guy might only need half a day."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Bai Yan's back again and said, "He is a hard-working and talented player."

Hinata Jingkong stood on the ground in a daze, then sighed and said

"Oh, it turns out there's such a big difference between him and me."

Uchiha Itachi: "Don't compete with him, that's just asking for trouble."

After saying that, Itachi walked towards the direction of Bai Eucalyptus, and Uchiha Izumi followed behind him.

Although Uchiha Izumi was also shocked, he did not care as much as Hinata Jyouku.

Because her eyes were all on Uchiha Itachi, and until this moment she was still sneaking around, following behind Uchiha Itachi.

Quan thought to himself, "Wow, he looks so handsome when he speaks seriously, much more handsome than Bai Ergou, and his lips look quite soft..."

As Uchiha Izumi was thinking about it, he wanted to steal a few glances at Uchiha Itachi.

So just when she raised her head, Uchiha Itachi suddenly turned around, and the two of them suddenly looked at each other closely. Their faces were only one centimeter apart, and both could clearly feel each other's breath.

Both of them were stunned. The next moment, their faces turned red from the neck to the face, and their breathing became disordered.

Coincidentally, Bai An saw the whole scene.

I thought to myself, "Damn, did the weasel do this on purpose? Most likely, he's very scheming despite being so young. His physical skills are terrible, but he's really good at picking up girls."

Bai An yelled, "Hey, you..."

Just when Bai An was about to shout and ask them to hurry up, something bloody happened. Hinata Jingkong, the idiot, was thinking about something with his head down and bumped into Uchiha Izumi.

Uchiha Izumi staggered and came face to face with Uchiha Itachi. Their lips touched together. They continued to look at each other, and Uchiha Izumi blinked his eyes twice.

Ten seconds passed and the two of them still didn't separate, just standing there mouth to mouth.

At this time, Bai An teased wickedly

"That's enough. Is it going to end? Why are you still addicted?"

The two were shocked by Bai An's words and hurriedly separated. One stood on one side, lowered his head and dared not look at the other, hesitating:

Uchiha Izumi: "Um...I...actually..."

Uchiha Itachi: "I..."

Hinata Jingkong was confused at this time. He was hit and saw stars just now, so he didn't see this scene, so he said

"What are you two doing, Quan? I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something and didn't see you. Are you hurt?"

Uchiha Izumi didn't say anything either, just lowered his head and shook it.

Bai An walked over with a smile and said to Hinata Jingkong, "You will sit at the main table from now on."

Hinata Jingkong asked in confusion, "What do you mean, what is the main table?"

Bai An pulled Hinata Jingkong away

"It's okay. They were just discussing their family's secrets, mouth to mouth."

Hinata Jingkong: "Oh, it's a family secret. We need to stay away from it."

He turned to Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Itachi and said, "Then you two continue."

"Pfft!"

Bai An laughed out loud.

Hinata Jingkong: "What's wrong?"

Bai An smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go, I thought of something interesting."

Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi didn't know what to say, they just walked in silence, hesitantly.

......

After the small storm, the few of them successfully entered the territory of the Snow Country, and all they saw was white snow.

Soon, they arrived at the prosperous area of ​​the Snow Country - Snow Village.

Along the way, the group saw a lot of new and interesting things, such as snowmobiles, snowboards, video cameras, etc.

Hinata Jingkong's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Is this chakra technology?"

Bai Eucalyptus: “I really don’t understand this. After all, this is my first time here.”

Bai Eucalyptus looked at the weasel and said, "Weasel, do you understand?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

Bai An shrugged at Hinata Jingkong and said, "If you are curious, just buy one. We are all in this together. We only need these two dollars."

Hinata Jingkong: "My family is not poor, but I am. You have almost ripped off all the money I brought with me. How dare you say that?"

Bai Eucalyptus: "Hey, I earned it by my own ability, isn't that okay?"

Itachi interrupted the quarrel between the two and said, "Stop quarreling and tell us how to practice next. It won't be cold-resistance training, right?"

Bai An explained, "This is just one of the things. There is a very high snow mountain in the Snow Country. We will go there to practice when the time comes."

Itachi wondered, "Why go to the snowy mountains?"

White Eucalyptus "The terrain is high and the air is thin, which can train people's cardiopulmonary activity. The purpose is to improve combat endurance. It is not good to be panting in the middle of a fight."

"Another point is that thin air will cause the blood's oxygen transport capacity to deteriorate. Training at the plateau is to take advantage of the low air pressure to improve the blood's oxygen transport capacity. When you return to the plains, you will feel relaxed and your strength will double."

Several people were digesting the meaning of it.

Seeing this, Bai An said, "Don't just stand there, eat first, and then you will understand what's going on after experiencing it."

......

After dinner, decide where to stay.

Bai An: "There will be no special training today. Just treat it as a day off for you. Just train as usual. This is my first time here, so I'll go get familiar with the surroundings first."
