Year 47 of Konoha, Year 19 of Red...
17 Red ideology nations officially formed an alliance. To facilitate communication between the member countries, the Land of Whirlpools, in early Red Year 19, established airports in the 16 allied nations and built reasonable, safe air routes.
This deepened the connections and exchanges between the allied nations, reinforced the core values of the Red ideology, and to a certain extent promoted the economic development of each country...
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard WZG Flight 007 of Uzushiogakure International Airlines, a member of the Red Alliance, bound for the Land of Snow.
We sincerely thank all passengers and frequent flyer members for your long-term support and trust in our airline. We genuinely invite more travelers to join our frequent flyer program."
"Dear passengers, WZG Flight 007 to the Land of Snow will be taking off shortly. Please remain in the safe areas and do not climb on the railings. For any requests, please contact the staff. We will now play the safety instruction video for your attention. Our entire crew is dedicated to serving you. We wish you a pleasant journey. Thank you."
"We're taking off, we're taking off." A little girl happily walked around on the deck, saying, "Now we can see the Arendelle Kingdom and Elsa."
"Yukiko, don't run around everywhere." A young man looked at his daughter with a smile and said, "Don't cause trouble for others."
"Dad!" The little girl happily ran over, hugged her father's leg, looked up, and said, "Do you think we can see Elsa, Olaf, and Marshmallow?"
"Oh, and the trolls, those short ones."
It's so interesting!
"Of course we can." The young man picked up Yukiko, his eyes full of affection, and said, "We will definitely see them all when we get there."
However...
He felt helpless inside...
He didn't know if they really existed!
After all...
'Frozen' was just a movie made by the Land of Whirlpools.
Everything in it was fictional, fake. Even Elsa and Anna were just played by members of the Yuki clan from the Land of Whirlpools.
But seeing the innocent, expectant look in his child's eyes, as a father, he couldn't bear to tell her the harsh truth while Yukiko was still so young...
He slightly shook his head at his wife, who was about to say something next to him, then looked at his daughter in his arms...
"Someone as cute as Yukiko will definitely get to see them!"
He glanced at the tickets for the 'Land of Snow Fantasy Tour' in his hand, which he had stayed up late last night specifically to buy...
He heard that the movie was filmed in the Land of Snow, so he thought there might be some similar things there!
Moreover...
These five days were a special event held by the Land of Snow specifically for 'Frozen'. He hoped Yukiko wouldn't be disappointed. After all...
He had specifically taken time off these few days to take the whole family on this trip.
"See what you're going to do then!" His wife, looking at her lost-in-thought husband, walked to his side and whispered, "If Yukiko doesn't see what she wants to see in a few days, she will be very sad."
"You go and see her yourself then..."
Then, she reached out and took Yukiko...
"Come here, Yukiko, Mom will hold you. Let Dad rest for a while."
She knew that her husband had stayed up late last night specifically to queue for these three tickets!
So...
She glared at him sharply...
Aren't you going to rest now, after being so tired?

Land of Whirlpools...
After the establishment of the Red United Nations organization...
Its impact on the shinobi world was indeed profound. For example...
Some stubborn nations and shinobi villages, due to their own interests, did not follow the reforms. Instead, they used forceful means to suppress the dissenting voices within their countries. However...
The seeds of turmoil were already sown.
Resistance organizations frequently appeared within these countries, especially among those shinobi who had once been prisoners in the Land of Whirlpools...
In a way...
They practically became the guiding lights for the Red ideology within their own countries!
So, the basic rhythm in these countries now was...
Suppress, internal strife, suppress, revolution, suppress...
Although the Red organizations in these countries also considered seeking help from the Land of Whirlpools, under the joint efforts of the Five Great Shinobi Villages...
The moment a single spark of Red ideology was discovered, it would be swiftly and forcibly suppressed, eliminated...
They...
Had no chance at all!
Moreover, in this strange atmosphere of peace, they also understood...
That the Land of Whirlpools could no longer, like in previous instances, directly overthrow the domestic forces and help their countries establish new regimes.
Especially the Daimyo courts of certain countries...
Their inner circles did not recognize the Red ideology system of the Land of Whirlpools either.
They believed it was the root cause of the shinobi world's turmoil...
Particularly in some smaller countries, where the Daimyo court itself had very strong control over the shinobi within the country, and the Daimyo also served as the leader of the shinobi village...
For them, what they desired internally was to maintain their own power, not to have their authority threatened...
So...
Under the combined efforts of the Daimyo courts and the noble shinobi of various countries, it could be said that the local revolutionary forces within their borders...
Had no ability to resist whatsoever, their living space being compressed step by step...
After all...
A thousand-year-old shinobi system, over forty years of the shinobi village policy...
Were not so easily eradicated without external assistance.
Especially when the Five Great Shinobi Villages still existed, their smaller allies would not compromise so easily either.
It could be said...
That Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision at the time to immediately join forces with the other Four Great Shinobi Villages to take action and control the situation was a very correct move.
But...
It was merely a last-ditch struggle...
Such is the nature of the era. When the tide of the times passes by, those who cannot closely follow behind will be overwhelmed by the ensuing giant wave.
Perhaps they can survive tenaciously once, or twice, but...
The declining shinobi villages and nations, compared to the vigorously developing countries, will sooner or later disappear!
...
Land of Whirlpools...
With the deepening exchanges between the various countries, the Land of Whirlpools had now become the central nation for international exchange and trade among the allied nations.
Especially after the currency unification, a new type of paper currency replaced the previously used silver for trade and began to circulate within the allied nations...
In this environment, the economic trade of the Land of Whirlpools had multiplied several times over!
So...
Nowadays, the number of people coming and going to this developed nation, the Land of Whirlpools, was gradually increasing. One could frequently see citizens from other countries traveling to the Land of Whirlpools for work or trade.
With the help of the Land of Whirlpools, various countries began to purchase old-style wooden airships from them, establishing their own trade fleets and airline companies...
In this rich commercial environment, the special products of each country began to appear all over the shinobi world. Even the shinobi village nations, upon seeing such good and cheap goods, would not block the merchant caravans from entering.
After all...
Nobles and merchants are greedy!
However, to prevent the entry of suspicious individuals, each country established border control lines. Here, merchants would sell their goods to the nobles, who would then resell them to the common people of their country.
But what followed was...
The gap between rich and poor grew larger and larger, and social contradictions became increasingly severe...
