Mission to the Land of Snow! Under Attack! (2)

Smoke rolled across the battlefield as Uchiha Ying led his team in a charge like a surging flood. "Finish the enemy, quickly!" he shouted.

Hyuga Mina unleashed the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, sending a powerful blast of air at the enemy like a blade. The team's Water Release and Fire Release techniques flared together. Water and fire collided, unleashing devastating force.

Though the enemy kept losing ground, they fought on desperately. Uchiha Ying's gaze turned cold. Gripping his kunai, he flashed through their ranks like lightning, leaving enemies falling in his wake. "Don't give them a chance to breathe!" he called. His team surged forward with renewed spirit.

A team member skilled in Wind Release tore a gap in the enemy's defenses with a wind blade. Another seized the opening to raise a sturdy wall with Earth Release, shielding the others.

Using the insight of her Byakugan, Hyuga Mina directed the team's attacks with precision. "Ambush from the left. Defend!" she said calmly. The team reacted at once and stopped the attack. As the battle reached its fiercest point, Uchiha Ying finished off several enemy ninja with Lightning Release: Lightning Cutter.

After the fighting ended, Uchiha Ying and Hyuga Mina led the team in clearing the battlefield. When Uchiha Ying removed an enemy's mask, he discovered they had fought a ninja squad from the Hidden Cloud Village.

He turned to the others. "Konoha urgently needs to advance its technology. We're going to the Land of Snow to purchase what we need. We must bring that technology back and overcome our current limitations." "Understood, Captain," Hyuga Mina replied. The others voiced their agreement.

Uchiha Ying nodded slightly, his gaze firm. "This mission concerns Konoha's future. Stay alert, and don't let your guard down on the way to the Land of Snow."
