Joker or Batman?

There is a very classic question.

If you had to choose, would you choose to be the Joker's teammate or Batman's teammate?

One of these two plans involved waiting for his accomplice to load the money bag into the car, then shooting his accomplice before driving away.

One is Old Schemer knows more about you than you do, and the more tricks he has up his sleeve to deal with you.

They appear to be a Superhero and a supervillain.

But the things they did were pretty much the same.

Bruce Yu looked at the Joker in front of him and said, "Why did you invite me to come with you? I can't even drive."

The Joker chuckled, "Give the Monkey a banana, and Monkey 'll be our driver. As for you, all you have to do is put the money bag in the car, just like that."

As he spoke, he made a very unseemly gesture of releasing energy.

"It's as simple as this!"

Bruce Yu interrupted, "Then the question is, what benefit would I get from doing this?"

"Oh! That's a good question!" The Joker was clearly out of his mind. He thought for a long time, tugging at his green hair. "Damn it! This place is so disgusting, you actually want to ask me what's the point of robbing a bank?"

"Yeah, what's the use?"

"Of course we get the money! You stupid neighbor!"

"What are you going to do with the money? Buy a car? Buy a house?" Bruce Yu tilted his head. "Then why not just rob what you need?"

"Oh! Genius!" the Joker suddenly clapped his hands. "How come I didn't think of that?"

Bruce Yu shrugged. "So what do you want?"

The Joker licked his lips, not yet so insane as to cut them open. He pinched his chin, deep in thought.

After a long pause, he raised his index finger. "Hey? I have an idea!"

What is it?

"I want Gotham, chaos! Falling into, falling into humanity's most primal chaos! No more money to buy things, take whatever you want! No more work for people! Like this, like this!"

"His level of education is low," Bruce Yu added. "And that's how you achieve a republic?"

"Oh! Yes! That's it! That magical little idea!"

Bruce Yu scratched his head. "I don't know what happened, but you managed to turn a bank robbery into a fight. Oh well, whatever you want to do, you can do whatever you want."

The Joker rubbed his hands together, muttering to himself, "Let me think... who's the richest person in Gotham again? Oh right!"

He suddenly looked at Bruce Yu, "The one with a similar name to yours, Bruce Wayne! Yes! That's him!"

Bruce Yu scratched the back of his throbbing head. "Alright. At least we're back to the main storyline."

The Land of Snow is a country that is covered in snow all year round, like a silver-clad ice and snow world.

As far as the eye can see, everything is a vast expanse of white. Thick snow has piled up on the ground, as if covering the entire country with a white blanket. The snow-capped mountains rise high into the clouds, and the snow on their peaks never melts.

In this icy and snowy landscape, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and Uchiha Yu are struggling to move forward.

Might Guy, however, was not afraid of the cold at all. He raised his legs high in place and shouted excitedly, "The more you exercise, the warmer your body will be, yoshi!" His face was full of enthusiasm and energy, as if the cold did not exist for him at all.

Kurenai Yuhi covered her forehead helplessly and complained with a look of disgust, "Kai, you have way too much energy."

Uchiha Yu had been Earth Flow silently when he suddenly asked Guy, "Teacher Kai, what technique did you use during your last battle with Kakuzu?"

Upon hearing this, Might Guy immediately became interested. He proudly exclaimed, "Haha, that's the Eight Gates Formation, an incredibly powerful Taijutsu!" He cleared his throat and began to explain in detail, "In our bodies, there's Chakra Flow system. From the head down, there are eight Chakra Points where the gates converge: the Gate of Gate of Opening, the Gate of Gate of Healing, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Pain, the Gate of Gate of Limit, the Gate of View, the Gate of Wonder, and the Gate of Death. These are the ' Eight Gates '!"

"Normally, the ' Eight Gates ' limit the amount of chakra flowing within the body, but the ' Eight Gates Formation ' can forcibly exceed this limit with chakra, greatly increasing the user's strength. The more 'gates' opened, the stronger the power becomes. However, this is not a technique that can be used casually, as it places a great burden on the body, and the user may suffer damage. Therefore, it is Forbidden Jutsu!"

Uchiha Yu listened for a while, then nodded thoughtfully, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing. He directly asked Might Guy, "Teacher Kai, can you teach me?"

Might Guy heard Uchiha Yu's straightforward request, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah!" His eyes widened as he stared at Uchiha Yu in astonishment, clearly not expecting the child to speak so frankly and directly.

In Konoha, there is a set of established rules for ninjas to learn Ninjutsu.

Generally speaking, the clan plays a crucial role in the growth of a ninja. The unique Ninjutsu inherited from the clan's bloodline are carefully taught by the Clan Leader, who pass on the experience and skills accumulated by their ancestors from generation to generation.

Ninja Academy, on the other hand, take on the responsibility of enlightenment, teaching children basic Ninjutsu such as the Three Body Technique to help them lay a foundation. Just like in the world of crosstalk, the music school is responsible for enlightenment, stimulating children's initial interest in this art.

But if you really want to learn truly advanced skills, there are only two ways.

Either you have an elder in your family who is an expert in this field and teaches you everything they know, or you have to find a proper and experienced ninja to become their apprentice and study diligently under their tutelage.

Furthermore, once a teacher is chosen, the relationship becomes relatively fixed within the ninja community.

If someone already has a master, but then goes to study under someone else, in the industry, this is called "jumping the gate," which is quite taboo.

Kai raised his hand, scratched his shiny forehead, and looked embarrassed. He carefully chose his words and said, "You are Kakashi's disciple. How can you learn from me?"

In his heart, he was caught between following the traditional rules of Konoha and considering Kakashi's feelings, and he really didn't know how to respond to Uchiha Yu's sudden request.

"That is not true." Uchiha Yu remained calm and composed, slightly raising his chin, and suddenly launched into a long and rambling discourse, Deadly Land profound principles.

His gaze was firm, and his tone was sincere as he said, "Konoha is a united and loving village, like a warm family. Every ninja living in it bears the sacred responsibility of protecting Konoha!"

He paused, then gave an example. "Teacher Kai, think about it. If one day, a lot of vicious bad guys suddenly flood into the village, wouldn't we all have to do our best to protect the village? Or, for example, if one day, more than a dozen powerful ninjas like Kakuzu appear in Konoha, a few elite ninjas alone won't be able to handle it. As members of Konoha, wouldn't we have to step forward? If I can learn a few more skills, even if it's just to deal with one more enemy, it will reduce the danger to the village."

He spoke with great passion, his eyes gleaming with fervent light, as if he could already see himself making a name for himself on the battlefield protecting Konoha in the future!

"For Konoha! For the Land of Fire!"

"Alright!" Upon hearing Might Guy Uchiha Yu's sincere words, and recalling Uchiha Yu's two heroic acts of saving his best friend Kakashi, Might Guy felt as if he had been injected with a powerful stimulant. He clapped his hands together, unleashing a loud clapping sound, and excitedly shouted, "Then I'll teach you..."

His high-pitched voice and rising intonation revealed his surging enthusiasm, indicating that he was ready to impart all his knowledge and was eager to pass on the essence of the Eight Gates Formation to Uchiha Yu.

At this crucial moment, Kurenai Yuhi, who had been standing quietly listening to the side, suddenly straightened up, strode forward, and interrupted Kai's speech.

She frowned slightly and said earnestly, "Kai, let's talk about these things after we get back from this mission. The most important thing right now is to find Lady Tsunade."

Her voice was soft yet undeniable. Might Guy was taken aback by the sudden interruption, and subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his head. His previously excited expression subsided slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He then returned to normal and replied helplessly, "Uh... okay, okay!"

Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth and forced out the words: "Red-sensei, you really are a ninja who considers the big picture!"

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head. "I'm sorry, Yu, some things are a bit complicated."

"Then, if we find Tsunade, could you please not stop Teacher Kai from teaching me?"

Kurenai Yuhi thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Well, if everything goes smoothly, I won't say anything more about your affairs."

Kurenai Yuhi's mission upon leaving Konoha this time is completely different from that of Guy and Uchiha Yu.

Kai was completely focused on finding Lady Tsunade, hoping to find this legendary Medical Ninja as soon as possible and rescue Kakashi from his injuries.

Uchiha Yu U, on the other hand, harbored a thirst for great power and longed to learn Might Guy's Eight Gates, while also taking care of Kakashi, who was recuperating in bed.

As for Kurenai Yuhi, she actually had a more secretive and crucial mission—to secretly monitor Uchiha Yu and prevent him from defecting to Konoha.

The complexity of the Uchiha Clan and the various changes in the past made the two advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, pay special attention to the Uchiha Yu's every move. Therefore, they assigned Kurenai Yuhi, who was highly skilled in Genjutsu, to take on this important task.

If Uchiha Yu defected and took the Eight Gates Formation training method with him, that would be a huge problem.

However, the group that Konoha sent out on this mission consisted of far more than just these three ninjas with different motives.

Several kilometers away in the snow, two other people were silently following them.

Both men wore conspicuous Konoha Headband. One of them was intently examining a ninja scroll, while the other squatted to the side, observing a few insects with unwavering focus.

The insects trembled slightly in the icy snow, as if conveying some kind of message to him.

"Impressive, becoming Special Jonin of the village at the age of fourteen."

Yamanaka Fu's eyes were full of admiration as he lavishly praised his companion, Aburame Torune, who was intently observing the insects.

Aburame Torune was not distracted by the praise. His Old Gods cold and stern. He simply said, "They are just ahead. The temperature here is too low. My Tracking Insects can't keep up for long in this environment. We need to think of a way to get rid of the two Jonin."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Fu frowned slightly, fell into deep thought, and after a moment slowly said, "It's difficult!"

"Kai's Taijutsu are very difficult to deal with, and Kurenai Yuhi, as the village's master Genjutsu Genjutsu, is even more unpredictable. If you are not careful, you will fall into an illusion and be unable to move. Whether the two of us fight one by one or together, we cannot deal with them."

The thought of facing these two renowned Jonin -on filled him with a sense of powerlessness.

But since Lord Danzo trusted him so much, he couldn't say anything against it.

Aburame Torune pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Would a sneak attack work?"

"It's no use," Yamanaka Fu shook his head without hesitation. "That kid has exceptional self-preservation skills and a very fast reaction speed. Plus, he has two Jonin protecting him. It's almost impossible to kill him under their noses."

"This is difficult."

Aburame Torune touched Danzo handwritten letter Danzo had given him and said helplessly, "It seems we still have to join forces with the Snow Ninja this time. I just wonder how much benefit Lord Danzo promised to the Land of Snow."

Yamanaka Fu's gaze sharpened. "Everything should be based on Danzo's ideas. Even if the village suffers some losses this time, it's all for the village's future! If geniuses from the Uchiha Clan continue to emerge, the village will eventually fall into the hands of these lunatics! This is a disastrous act!"

Aburame Torune had been brainwashed by Danzo since childhood, nodded, "Understood!"

After discussing their options, the two chose a more difficult snow mountain path, following the directions on the map, and quickly headed towards the Land of Snow.

Three days passed quickly, and the three ninjas from Konoha breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the gates of the Land of Snow.

Might Guy's watermelon head was frozen solid. He stood in place, chanting slogans, his nose running from the cold.

Kurenai Yuhi wasn't in good condition either; her eyebrows were covered in frost.

Uchiha Yu?

He walked in the snow as freely as if he were on a vast grassland.

Compared to the memories of the Extreme Cold Hell, this place is child's play.

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath and suddenly Hand Seal!

"Yu, what are you going to do?" Kurenai Yuhi immediately became wary.

However, Uchiha Yu simply unleashed the Great Fireball Technique at an empty space.

At the same time, he used Armament Haki to coat a feather and extended it into the Great Fireball!

And just like that, a simple hand warmer was made.

He held the tail end and handed the feather to Red.

Kurenai Yuhi didn't expect that Yu would use the Great Fireball to make a hand warmer for her. Her face flushed slightly as she took the feather.

Feeling the warmth emanating from the feathers, Kurenai Yuhi was once again certain that the village's higher-ups' thoughts were strange.

How could a student who cares so much for his teacher possibly commit desertion?

"Thank you, Yu."

Uchiha Yu gave an innocent smile, "Seeing how cold Kurenai-sensei is, I feel so sorry for her!"

Kurenai Yuhi's face turned even redder than Yu's, who had lied, and she remained silent.

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi's state, Uchiha Yu thought to himself, 'You little brat! I refuse to believe I can't handle you!'

Achoo!

Might Guy interrupted Uchiha Yu's thoughts, rubbing his nose. "Lady Tsunade has been homeless for so many years. According to intelligence, she's most likely to come to the Land of Snow of Land of Snow to treat the Royal Family and earn money."

Uchiha Yu interjected, "The betting stake."

Might Guy nodded awkwardly. "Well, so, I hope she's here! My dear friend! You have to get better! Alright, let's go! To the casino!"

In a smoky gambling den, a woman's booming voice shook the snow off the windows.

Her face, flushed with excitement, was filled with tension and anticipation as she stared intently at the few chips on the table.

The gamblers around her, their faces flushed, shouted excitedly, their tables piled high with money and chips, a stark contrast to the woman's embarrassment.

Tsunade bit her lower lip, clutching her few remaining chips tightly in her hand. After much hesitation, she finally placed all her bets on "big".

Seeing this, everyone around them revealed gloating smiles and collectively bet on Tsunade, waiting to see her make a Tsunade.

It's easy to beat Tsunade.

Buy in reverse, and you'll get a villa by the sea.

The dealer slowly shook the dice cup, and the sound of the dice hitting each other inside made Tsunade's heart leap into her throat.

Finally, the dice cup slowly opened, and when she saw three sixes inside, Shizune screamed excitedly, "We won! We won against Lady Tsunade!"

Everyone around was stunned!

The legendary easy target actually won money?!

However, Tsunade showed no joy; instead, she looked at the chips on the table with a worried expression.

She knew her gambling luck well; every time she won money in the past, something bad would happen, and she was worried that this time would be no exception.

Her brow furrowed, a vague unease creeping into her heart. She muttered to herself, "How could we win today? Is something big about to happen again...?"

Shizune, oblivious to Tsunade's odd behavior, happily lifted the Ninja Pig Tonton high and said to Tsunade with a smile, "Lady Tsunade, we won! This time we can win back everything we lost before!"

Tsunade forced a smile and replied, "I hope so."

Suddenly, the tightly closed door was kicked open!

The person in the lead was wearing Headband.

But it's not the Konoha Headband.

It's Snow Ninja's Headband!

The crowd was immediately angered when they saw the Snow Ninja barging in.

"Hey! Little girl! Do you know where you are?"

Before the casino thugs could even touch her, the female leader Snow Ninja, reached out and touched one of the thugs' arms.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the thug's body was covered with ice crystals, and then the ice completely covered his body!

"Ah! You! What are you doing?!"

"Hehe."

From the moment the spell is cast until the person is completely frozen, it only takes the blink of an eye!

The thug didn't even have time to beg for mercy before he was frozen solid!

The female ninja turned her gaze to Tsunade.

"Madam, please come with us!"

Tsunade, being one of the Legendary Three Sannin, slammed her Tsunade on the table and looked at the female Snow Ninja whose "strength" was in no way inferior to hers. "So what if I don't leave?"

Shizune quickly put down the Ninja Pig Tonton and assumed an attack stance.

However, the female Snow Ninja turned her hand over and, with a Kunai, gently cut her own palm.

When the gamblers saw the blood, they all thought the woman was crazy.

But Tsunade felt a wave of dizziness and clutched her throbbing head!

Upon seeing Shizune, Jingyin's heart skipped a beat!

Oh no! Tsunade's hemophobia has flared up!
