Upon hearing that overusing the Mangekyou Sharingan leads to blindness, Sakura felt a sense of worry.

"If Sasuke knew about this, even with the risk of blindness, he would definitely find a way to awaken it."

Having a good understanding of Sasuke, Sakura was well aware of his pride.

He would never allow himself to be weaker than Naruto.

Kakashi naturally knew this as well.

It was just that the future was not something they could decide.

Whether Sasuke would even be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future was uncertain.

Talking about the Mangekyou Sharingan to him now was still too early.

As for Yeyu, he, Anko, and Asama Sandayu finally arrived at the capital of the Land of Fire.

Fujikaze Yukie was a very popular star in the Land of Fire.

Naturally, she was in the capital of the Land of Fire.

However, when the three of them arrived at Fujikaze Yukie's residence, she was not at home.

Asama Sandayu questioned the attendants, only to learn that Fujikaze Yukie had run away upon hearing that they were going to the Land of Snow.

She did not want to return to the Land of Snow; for her, the Land of Snow was a rather dangerous place.

Her own father had been killed in the Land of Snow.

Her uncle had usurped her father's position as Daimyo.

Going to the Land of Snow—wasn't that just walking into a trap?

And so, she had found an opportunity to run away.

Asama Sandayu was furious and told the attendants, "Send people out to find her! We are supposed to depart tomorrow; how can she be missing now?"

Yeyu sat in the room, looking at the scenery outside, "Miss Fujikaze seems quite unwilling to head to the Land of Snow."

"Is there some secret?"

Anko looked at Yeyu, then turned her gaze toward Asama Sandayu.

With Yeyu's reminder, she realized something was amiss.

Filming in the Land of Snow might be a harsh environment, but Fujikaze Yukie was, after all, a famous star.

She certainly possessed that level of professional integrity.

Not to mention they had signed a contract; it was impossible for her to suddenly breach it.

Asama Sandayu sighed, "I cannot hide it from you."

Ever since witnessing Yeyu's power firsthand, even though Yeyu was only twelve, Asama Sandayu had always used honorifics when addressing him.

"In truth, Miss Fujikaze Yukie is the princess of the Land of Snow."

Yeyu had no reaction, but Anko was shocked, "What! She, she is the princess of the Land of Snow?"

"Are you joking? If she is the princess of the Land of Snow, why would she come to the Land of Fire to be an actress?"

Although she was quite popular as a star in the Land of Fire.

But who would be willing to come and be an actress when they are a princess of a nation?

No matter how popular she was, she wouldn't do such a thing; the citizens of the Land of Snow would surely have objections.

Asama Sandayu continued to explain, "The reason she came to the Land of Fire to be an actress is because her father's position as Daimyo was seized by his younger brother."

"He even killed the former Daimyo. The current Daimyo of the Land of Snow is Miss Fujikaze's uncle. Miss Fujikaze Yukie's real name is Kazahana Koyuki."

"For Princess Koyuki, the Land of Snow is a place of sorrow and pain."

Anko frowned, "Since that is the case, why force her to go to the Land of Snow for filming?"

"You could have simply not accepted this filming job."

Asama Sandayu hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to explain.

Yeyu sat on the windowsill and smiled faintly, "Wanting to rely on our hands to help you reclaim the position of Daimyo?"

"Do you want us to help your Princess Koyuki become Daimyo Koyuki?"

Asama Sandayu looked up at Yeyu, his face full of shock.

He had not expected Yeyu to guess his hidden thoughts so quickly.

That was indeed what he had been thinking.

Previously, he had thought there was only Anko, a Special Jonin, so he had only intended to give it a try.

He had even considered giving up.

Although Anko's strength was decent, she was only a Special Jonin.

But after witnessing Yeyu's strength in the Land of Waves, Asama Sandayu felt more confident in supporting Kazahana Koyuki to ascend to the position of Daimyo.

Yeyu found Asama Sandayu's expression amusing, "That would no longer be the reward for an A-rank mission."

This time, they had received an A-rank mission.

If it involved participating in a war, especially a war between nations, the nature of the mission would change, necessitating an S-rank classification.

Asama Sandayu did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately saying to Yeyu, "Mr. Yeyu, as long as you are willing to help Princess Koyuki ascend to the position of Daimyo."

"We will pay you 3 million ryo as compensation."

Anko looked at Yeyu. "Wouldn't that go against the rules?"

"This is participating in a war between nations; if things go wrong, it could drag Konoha into it."

"Shouldn't we report this to the village first and wait for the Hokage to make a decision before we act?"

Yeyu shook his head. "There's no time. Didn't you hear? We leave tomorrow."

Anko frowned, looking somewhat worried. "Are you really going to take this mission?"

"This isn't a simple escort mission; it's a war mission. You need to consider this carefully."

Anko felt they should notify the village first and wait for the village to make a further decision before they proceeded with the execution.

Because this was no longer an ordinary mission, but a mission to participate in a war.

They were, after all, representing Konoha.
