Chapter 137 Infiltration and Dancing
Led by Zhen Jingmingheshu, the delegation moved into the Cedar Mansion.
The Jade Pine Hall of the Xuesong Mansion. This is the main bedroom of the Xuesong Mansion, where Zhen Jingming and Shu now live.
"Dousuke, I thought you would disappear as soon as you got off the boat!" Makagami Nakazuki sighed as he looked at Dousuke Okamoto in front of him.
"I just can't bear to leave you, Brother Shu!" Okamoto Dousuke responded with a smile.
Actually, Okamoto Dousuke planned to go to the daimyo's mansion to find Fenghua Zaoyuki with the letter as soon as he got off the ship. However, he overlooked the fact that such a grand event, a daimyo personally received him, so there should be security forces. At that time, there were many disguised snow ninjas among the people on both sides of the port.
So Okamoto Dousuke did not disappear rashly.
However, it would be better to go to Daming Prefecture with the diplomatic delegation, at least there would be less trouble in sneaking in.
"You...! Why don't you come with me to attend the banquet hosted by Daimyo Kazehana!!" Shin Kagami Nakazuki smiled and patted Okamoto Dousuke's shoulder.
Although neither of them has said it explicitly, they have reached a tacit understanding of cooperation without saying anything.
The relationship between the two people has changed from being unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming familiar with each other, and some jokes can be blurted out.
"No problem!!" Okamoto Dousuke nodded.
"But how did you get away?" asked Shin Kagami Nakata curiously.
You must know that as a member of the diplomatic mission, once entering the Daimyo Prefecture, each member will be under the charge of a commissioner from the Snow Country. On the one hand, this is to better serve the members of the diplomatic mission and make them feel at home, and on the other hand, it is also to monitor the diplomatic mission.
This is basically the underlying rule for diplomatic missions between countries.
In the original future Naruto, when the Kumogakure delegation visited Konoha, they were able to sneak into the Hyuga clan and kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, Hinata. Without the cooperation of Konoha's top leaders, Kumogakure's actions would be nothing but a pipe dream.
"I'm going to need Brother Kazushu's help for this! I want to sneak in through today's tribute event!" Okamoto Dousuke expressed his thoughts.
"That's easy. I'll help you tell him!"
"Beizi! Come here!" Zhen Jingmingheshu shouted, and Beizi Beigen, a man with a strong build and slightly dark skin, appeared at the door.
"Your Highness Kazuki, Lord Dousuke!!" Kitako Kitane bowed to the two of them.
"Kitaka, go with Dousuke later. No matter what happens, just say that I allowed it!!" Makagami Nakazuki did not ask Okamoto Dousuke about the method in detail. If he asked, what if Okamoto Dousuke's request made him embarrassed?
Should I continue to help or not? So I just ignored it. If it works, that's the best. If it doesn't, it has nothing to do with me.
But no matter whether it succeeds or not, Okamoto Dousuke has to agree to do this favor.
"Brother Kazuki, I'll go and prepare first!" Seeing that Makamina Kazuki had finished his arrangements, Okamoto Dousuke also said goodbye to him.
"Be careful!" Shinmei Heshu looked at Okamoto Dousuke with concern.
Okamoto Dousuke nodded, and strode away with Kitako Kitane.
As the sky gradually darkened, the people of the Snow Country also notified Shinkagami Nakata to go to the Daimyo Prefecture for a banquet.
After Shin Kagami Nakata and Shu gathered all the people, they brought with them various precious gifts from the Land of Fire.
Standing at the gate of the Cedar Mansion, Shin Kagami Nakazuki looked at the ministers who followed him on this diplomatic mission to the Snow Country, but did not notice any clues.
He looked curiously at the members of the diplomatic delegation who were carrying gifts, but still did not see Okamoto Dousuke.
"Where on earth did this kid run off to!" Shin Kagami Nakata muttered to himself.
"Your Highness He Shu, it's time to go!" The minister of the Snow Country reminded in a low voice.
"Well! Let's go!!" Since we can't find it, then let's not look for it. Shin Kagami Nakata gave an order and, led by the minister of the Snow Country, headed towards the Daimyo Mansion not far away.
A group of people marched towards Daming Prefecture in a mighty manner.
Along the way, warriors from the Snow Country stood on both sides of the street to escort them.
Behind the samurai are the curious citizens of the Snow Country with curious eyes, the timid ones are whispering, and the bold ones are pointing at a line of costumed Makami Nakazuki and the others.
After entering Daming Mansion, Fenghua Zaoxue was already waiting in the hall.
After Makagami Nakata and his companions arrived, they were taken to the banquet by a special person.
The banquet in the Snow Country is similar to a buffet, with a table in front of each person. The maids would serve a new dish every once in a while and then take away the old dish.
On the left side of the hall are the envoys from the Fire Kingdom, and on the right side are the important officials from the Snow Kingdom.
The first position on the diplomatic corps was undoubtedly occupied by Shin Kagami Nakata, and on the right was Fuuka Nuto, the leader of the Snow Ninja Village and the younger brother of the Daimyo of the Snow Country.
There will be dancers performing in the center of the hall.
"Your Highness Kazuki, welcome. I believe that your arrival will definitely make our country's Snow Festival more glorious." Fuuka Hayate, who was sitting in the main seat, greeted Makagina Kazuki.
"It is our honor to be able to participate in your country's Snow Festival! I hope the Daimyo will not despise the gifts I brought from the Fire Country this time!" Makagami Nakata took out a gift list from his pocket.
The maid who was kneeling beside her immediately stepped forward and handed the gift list to Fenghua Zaoxue.
Fenghua Zaoxue didn't even look at it and just put it aside.
"Then let's get started! Your Highness Kazuki!" Fuuka Sayayuki looked at Makagami Kazuki and asked for his opinion.
"Follow the Daimyo's orders!"
Then, at a signal from Fenghua Zaoyuki, exquisite dishes were served one after another. During the table, people toasted each other. Makami Nakata and Fuhua Zaoyuki showed their politicians' ability to smooth things over and talked about this and that.
In the center of the hall, the dancers from the Snow Country also began to dance.
The exquisite dance, combined with the unique cold-zone cuisine of the Snow Country, appears so refined and elegant.
Various dance performances were performed one after another during the banquet.
Finally, when it was almost over, the Fire Nation show began.
When diplomatic missions visit other countries, they will perform shows. Among them, the Fire Nation delegation performed the classic Fire Dance.
This is an essential show that must be performed during every major festival in the Fire Nation.
A group of dancers wearing light pink gauze came out from all directions of the hall and slowly gathered in the middle.
Sing and dance to the cheerful rhythm.
The passionate and energetic dance fully demonstrates the great power style of the Fire Nation.
The dancers in the stage look particularly youthful and beautiful with their red gauze and white skin.
Just when many dancers were releasing their youthful charm.
Suddenly, Shinkagami Nakata's eyes widened.
A dancer who was as beautiful as the main dancer caught his attention.
Although she is wearing makeup, look carefully at her eyebrows.
Revealing a familiar feeling.
"No way, when did that kid Okamoto Dousuke get in among the dancers!!" Makagina Heshu quickly took a sip of wine to calm himself down.
