One-Horned White Whale? Great Eruption

White Snake Sage swept her gaze over the three people below.

The three of them instantly felt a sense of oppression.

"Has he left?" White Snake Sage asked.

All three nodded.

"That boy's talent is formidable. Perhaps because of him, our Ryūchi Cave will be able to surpass the other two holy lands."

"Isn't that right, Tagorihime?"

Tagorihime, who had been keeping her head lowered, was called out by White Snake Sage and looked up in a panic. "Y-yes, that's right."

She felt somewhat guilty.

Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime also glanced at her.

White Snake Sage continued, "Which great snakes did he sign contracts with?"

Tagitsuhime replied, "He signed a summoning contract with Aoda, and he also signed summoning contracts with the three of us."

As she spoke, Tagitsuhime glared at Tagorihime.

Originally, they had been unwilling to sign contracts with Yeyu; it was entirely because of Tagorihime.

Although Ichikishimahime also disliked Yeyu quite a bit, she didn't have much of an aversion to signing a summoning contract with him.

Just as Tagorihime had said, as long as Yeyu had enough chakra to summon them, they had no reason to refuse.

White Snake Sage kept her gaze fixed on Tagorihime for a long time.

"Garaga missed out on a good contractor. He misjudged the situation; having only one eye truly affects one's judgment."

"However, Aoda is sufficient."

Aoda's strength among the great snakes of Ryūchi Cave was second only to Garaga.

It was just that his personality was too gentle, not at all like a snake.

After leaving Ryūchi Cave, Yeyu returned to his room.

It was already the early hours of the morning.

But it was not yet dawn, and there was still a long time before they were set to depart.

The moment Yeyu appeared in the room, Anko woke up instantly.

"You're back so soon?"

"Did you succeed?"

After returning, Yeyu lay down on the bed to sleep. "I succeeded."

Yeyu wanted to sleep, but Anko was full of energy and leaned in close to him. "Which great snake did you sign a contract with?"

"Did you sign a contract with Manda?"

Anko felt that Manda was the strongest in Ryūchi Cave besides White Snake Sage.

Yeyu waved his hand. "No, his contractor is Orochimaru. Naturally, I didn't sign a contract with him."

Anko looked a bit regretful. "Actually, a single summoning beast can have multiple contractors."

Yeyu closed his eyes. "Alright, the matter is finished. Go to sleep."

"We have to take a boat tomorrow, so get some good rest."

Anko pouted, but she went to rest nonetheless.

Even though Yeyu was only twelve years old, it seemed as if he were the leader of this squad.

Anko did not have any doubts about it.

When they set off for the Land of Snow the next day, Kazahana Koyuki was clearly much more respectful toward Yeyu.

Yeyu's strength would command respect in any country.

He was too strong, and his potential was limitless.

Who would be willing to offend such a person?

Kazahana Koyuki simply hadn't known the extent of Yeyu's strength before.

The ship sailed on the ocean for over a week before arriving at the Land of Snow.

Before entering the port of the Land of Snow, there was a massive ice island.

The director stood on the deck, looking at the ice island in the distance with an excited expression. "Wonderful! This is the backdrop I've been looking for all along."

"Let's film on this island."

Since the director had spoken, naturally, no one had any objections.

Yeyu and Anko followed Kazahana Koyuki onto the island.

The entire island was made of ice; for over a thousand meters in every direction, there was nothing but ice. As a backdrop, it was indeed very beautiful.

While the film crew was shooting, Yeyu and Anko stood beside the staff and watched.

Watching Kazahana Koyuki's superb acting, Yeyu smiled and praised, "A big star is indeed a big star; your acting is truly excellent."

Anko laughed and said, "She is the hottest star in the Land of Fire right now, and the few movies she has filmed have all done very well at the box office."

"It's just that if she really becomes the Daimyo of the Land of Snow, she probably won't be able to be a star anymore."

"I wonder how she will choose."

Yeyu did not care about this question.

Regardless of which life she chooses, Kazahana Koyuki will live well.

Just as Yeyu and Anko were admiring Kazahana Koyuki's acting, the iceberg in the distance suddenly cracked.

"Bang, rumble~"

Everyone looked toward the iceberg. "Is it an avalanche?"

"No, the iceberg is breaking apart."

People were guessing whether the iceberg had shattered.

But the vigilant Anko had already appeared by Kazahana Koyuki's side. "Miss Fujikaze, be careful. It should be the ninjas sent by the Land of Snow."

How could it be such a coincidence that they landed on the island to film, and suddenly an iceberg collapsed?

Holding a Kunai, Anko looked around vigilantly.

Yeyu looked toward the distant iceberg. "Finally couldn't help but make a move. I wonder what the principle of your Ice Release is."

There are Ice Release ninjutsu that rely on the environment, and there are also pure Kekkei Genkai.

Yeyu felt it should be a Kekkei Genkai.

It is not strange for the Land of Snow to produce a few ninjas who possess the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

When the film crew saw the ice rocks from the shattered iceberg rolling toward where they were, they all ran toward the further open ground.

Kazahana Koyuki saw a familiar scene, just like in her memories.

"This, this is the ninjutsu of Dotō Kazahana's subordinates."

The entire ice island was trembling.

The iceberg quickly crumbled and turned into broken ice rocks.

"Rumble"

Countless ice blocks in the distance began to aggregate together.

"Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale"

Countless ice blocks gathered together, condensing into a giant ice whale a hundred meters long.

"Roar"

The whale charged toward the crowd.

The massive whale was made entirely of condensed ice, incredibly hard, and its immense weight crushed the ice layer wherever it passed.

"Rumble"

The ice layer kept shattering, and it looked like the ice beneath everyone's feet was about to be crushed.

Anko was very anxious. "Damn it, Fire Release can't melt it either."

Anko is skilled in Fire Release ninjutsu, but the range of her Fire Release ninjutsu is insufficient.

This giant ice whale is too large, and since it is condensed from ice blocks, her Fire Release has no effect at all.

"The temperature in this place is also too low; summoning a giant snake would also quickly lose its combat effectiveness."

Snakes are very sensitive to temperature.

In such a cold place, a summoned giant snake would quickly fall into hibernation.

Anko shielded Kazahana Koyuki behind her and turned to look at Yeyu.

Yeyu raised his head and looked at the giant ice whale charging toward him.

He muttered to himself, "So it really is an Ice Release ninjutsu that relies on the environment."

"A bit disappointing."

Originally, Yeyu thought he would be able to see an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

He could have learned what the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai was all about.

At this moment, Anko shouted, "Yeyu, take Miss Fujikaze away first."

Anko wanted Yeyu to use the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport Kazahana Koyuki away.

Kazahana Koyuki is their mission target and cannot be harmed.

Yeyu did not answer Anko's words.

He only glanced at the One-Horned White Whale, which was only two hundred meters away from them.

"Hum~"

Yeyu's figure vanished.

Almost simultaneously.

Yeyu appeared before the One-Horned White Whale.

Great Eruption

BOOM~

Yeyu threw a punch, the fist wind carrying a terrifying temperature that instantly blasted the massive One-Horned White Whale into nothingness.

A vacuum zone appeared before Yeyu, and the distant ocean was carved out into a trench hundreds of meters wide and several kilometers long.

The seawater was still emitting thick, hot steam.
