Completing this action will unlock Hana the Kunai Artisan as a merchant, where you can upgrade the Kunai weapon.

After this interaction, the location of the other farms will be marked on your map with a red marker. All of these farms are located in the Teshio Ridge area. To complete The Winter Farms side quest, you must defeat the Nine Tails members at each farm.
