There are many gambling dens in the Land of Snow. The three Konoha Ninja, who had removed their Headband, wandered around for a long time, only to find out that they had never seen Tsunade.

But when they arrived at the last gambling den, Kurenai Yuhi stopped the two of them.

"Wait a minute, the atmosphere up ahead is a bit strange."

Following Hong's gaze, the gambling den was open, but strangely, it lacked the usual noisy atmosphere.

After all, this was a country that didn't have much of a relationship with Konoha. Kurenai Yuhi made a hand gesture, and the three of them hid at the alley entrance, silently observing the gambling den.

After a long while, a sound came from the gambling den!

Finally, someone shouted.

However, it was screams.

"What happened? Someone got caught cheating?" Might Guy stroked his chin. "Oh, that's terrible."

Kurenai Yuhi complained, "Kai, your imagination is really a bit strange to me. The way those people looked at us at the gambling den we just visited was a bit odd."

Might Guy scratched his head. "Why would that be? We don't have any grudges against anyone. Could it be that someone is secretly preventing us from seeing Lady Tsunade? Is that even possible?"

Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment. "There are still some."

At that moment, Uchiha Yu suddenly spoke up, "Take cover!"

As soon as he said that, Kurenai Yuhi and Kai immediately looked away and hid.

At that moment, a Snow Ninja walked out of the gambling den they were watching.

The Snow Ninja was flexing his wrists, while behind him, a bald man with dark circles under his eyes kept bowing and apologizing, looking like he had just been beaten up.

After seeing Snow Ninja off, Kurenai Yuhi immediately called Kai and Yu toward the gambling den.

"Excuse me."

Before I could even greet him, the bald man with dark circles under his eyes immediately started cursing. "Get lost! This is a casino, not a restaurant!"

Kai grinned. "We're here to gamble!"

"You? Hmph, we're not opening today!"

After saying that, he was about to pull the curtain down.

Smack!

Uchiha Yu caught the curtain and looked at the bald boss, "Has a woman with a great figure ever come here? She had terrible luck, lost a lot of money, and her female characteristics were very obvious."

"Get lost! I've never seen this before!"

Upon receiving this reply, Uchiha Yu immediately activated his Conqueror's Haki!

In an instant, the bald boss looked as if he had seen a ghost, his body convulsed, foaming at the mouth as he collapsed!

"Yu, you're being too impulsive!" Kai scolded, but then walked into the gambling den on his own.

As soon as Kai entered, he saw a group of gamblers cursing in the street.

They were packing up their money and preparing to leave.

Upon seeing this Uchiha Yu said, "Have you ever seen the legendary fat sheep? That woman with extremely bad luck is named Tsunade."

Upon hearing this name, the gamblers' expressions immediately twitched slightly.

Just as one of the quick-tongued people was about to answer, his companion grabbed his clothes.

"Uh, I've never seen it before. What is it? I don't recognize it."

Kai listened to everyone's answers and looked like a wilted eggplant.

"Is there no sign of Lady Tsunade in the Land of Snow? Kakashi! Hang in there!"

"Wait a minute!"

Uchiha Yu suddenly stopped the gamblers who were about to leave, "You can fool Thick-Eyebrowed Teacher, but you can't fool me into thinking I've never seen Tsunade, right? Then can someone explain this?" He pointed to the trembling animal in the corner, "Where did this pig in clothes come from?"

"This! This is! This is my pet!"

One of the thugs quickly picked up the Ninja Pig Tonton, but the Tonton didn't recognize him at all and started squealing in frustration.

"You raised it?" Uchiha Yu smiled, the Tomoe of his Sharingan appearing in his eyes.

"Then, I'll let you have a nightmare about pigs."

For ninjas, a compulsory course at the Ninja Academy includes how to bravely sacrifice themselves after being captured and how to withstand torture by the enemy.

Ninjas are also adept at torturing people.

Especially with a Sharingan psychopath like Uchiha Yu, and since these gamblers weren't ninjas, it wasn't long before they spilled all the secrets about the Snow Ninja.

"She was just arrested. Before she left, she didn't even have time to take the money she won from us, sir," said a guy with a bent arm, pointing out the window with his other good finger. "They went that way."

Upon hearing the detail that no money had been taken, Kurenai Yuhi nodded, "That should be it."

Might Guy shook his watermelon-shaped head. "That's strange. Did Lady Tsunade offend some Snow Ninja? Why was she captured? And how come she was captured so easily, given her strength?"

At this moment, a gambler sweating profusely interjected, "The fat sheep faints at the sight of blood."

"Does she faint at the sight of blood?" Kurenai Yuhi's pupils contracted slightly. "How did Snow Ninja know about this?!"

Even Might Guy could smell the conspiracy, let alone Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai Yuhi waved her hand dismissively, "Let's go, let's get out of here first!"

Inside a small inn, Kurenai Yuhi, who was holding the Ninja Pig Tonton, freed one hand and took out a ninja scroll.

"This is basic information about the country."

"The Land of Snow has a highly developed heavy industry. They possess a type of transportation that Konoha doesn't have: coal-fired power. The iron roads we see along the way are the ones used by that transportation."

Uchiha Yu interrupted Kurenai Yuhi, "I know what a train is, Sensei."

Kurenai Yuhi, looking embarrassed, continued, "The intelligence says the ninjas of the Land of Snow use a special Ice Release ninjutsu. Not many people in the village have actually confronted the Snow Ninja. The source of this information is..." She glanced at Uchiha Yu, "Kakashi."

Although Uchiha Yu wasn't very familiar with the content of the movie, he knew the general outline.

Four or five years ago, Kakashi, who was still Anbu, came to the Land of Snow and had a conflict with the Snow Ninja.

At that time, a coup occurred in the Land of Snow. Kazahana Dōtō, the Daimyo brother of the daimyo, hired Snow Ninja ninja to murder his brother and usurp the throne. Kakashi fought against Kazahana Dōtō in order to save the Daimyo's daughter, Kazahana Koyuki.

Kakashi was no match for Kazahana Dōtō, but he successfully rescued Kazahana Koyuki and brought her back to Konoha.

Later, Kazahana Koyuki changed her stage name to Yukie Fujikaze and became a movie star, gaining considerable fame throughout the Shinobi World.

Later, when Kazahana Koyuki returned to the Land of Snow, she hired Kakashi's Team 7, which led to the content of the theatrical film "Legend of the Snow Princess".

After confirming that their opponent was the Snow Ninja led by Kazahana Dōtō, following the movie's premise of a strong protagonist aura, Uchiha Yu believed this would be a tough battle.

Luffy was able to defeat Golden Lion, who was on par with the Pirate King Roger, by using Gear Third in the movie. Uchiha Yu has no doubt that Kazahana Dōtō, who fought Kakashi and made him run away in a sorry state in the movie, is definitely a Kage Level fighter.

Besides the Kazahana Dōtō, there was also a Jonin named Nadare Rōga Avalanche who beat Kakashi into a rout a few years ago.

In the movie a few years later, Kakashi barely managed to win by relying on his Taijutsu, proving he was a tough nut to crack.

In addition, there are the samurai from the Land of Snow who are controlled by Kazahana Dōtō, as well as some other Genin and Chunin.

Kai wasn't stupid; he analyzed the result directly.

"Should we notify the village and send an elite team to rescue Lady Tsunade?"

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head. "Lady Tsunade has been away from Konoha for many years, and the journey is long. I don't know when the news will reach her. Moreover, I don't know what advice the village's higher-ups will give."

She thought for a moment and continued, "I just don't know if there's a way to overcome Lady Tsunade's hemophobia. If we can awaken her, then we won't have to worry about the Land of Snow's fighting strength at all."

"After all, those are the legendary Three Sannin!"

"Teacher Hong."

Uchiha Yu pointed at Guy next to him. "You underestimate Teacher Kai."

Kai immediately flashed a bright white smile. "Really? Can I?"

Uchiha Yu sighed, "If you teach me the Eight Gates Formation, I can do it too."

"Alright! This is youth!" Kai suddenly burst out with intense energy. "Then, the plan to rescue Tsunade shall now commence!"

"Wait a minute, Guy!" Kurenai Yuhi quickly stopped Guy. "We still don't know why they kidnapped Lady Tsunade."

Kai's momentum instantly diminished. "Indeed, why would they kidnap Lady Tsunade?"

"Never mind why they do it, just know that Kakashi is lying in a hospital bed right now."

"Ah! You're right!" Kai was brimming with energy again. "For my best friend's health! Let's go!"

In the dimly lit dungeon, Tsunade crouched in a corner, trembling.

Shizune stood in front of her, looking at the middle-aged man she didn't recognize.

"We are complete strangers, why were we arrested and brought here?"

"Let me introduce myself. I am the monarch of the Land of Snow, and my name is Kazahana Dōtō."

Shizune clenched her fists. "Lord? Didn't Lady Tsunade just treat the women of your Royal Family? Why are you arresting us?"

"Hehe, we paid quite a bit for the previous medical fees, that was for the last transaction. For this transaction, all you need to know is that someone doesn't want you to leave, and I can't refuse the benefits I'm receiving."

Tsunade was still crouching in the corner, trembling. If it weren't for Naruto's Talk no Jutsu, she would be a lamb to the slaughter.

Just then, footsteps echoed from inside the dungeon.

"Sir, three ninjas have arrived outside!"

"Oh?" Kazahana Dōtō Nutao never expected things to develop this way. "They actually came directly to our door? I thought the Konoha ninjas would sneak in or something."

Thinking of Danzo's Danzo a logging camp on the border of the Land of Fire, and the high-priced coal purchase orders, Kazahana Dōtō stretched his shoulders and said, "Go get my armor."

"Yes!"

Outside the main hall, Might Guy stood tall and straight, with Kurenai Yuhi holding Kunai Uchiha Yu with his Sharingan behind him.

Kurenai Yuhi looked at the enemy walking out of the main hall, and her expression immediately became much more serious.

The leader, clad in specially Chakra Armor, Kazahana Dōtō at Kai, "What are you doing in the Land of Snow Konoha ninja?!"

Kai wasn't good with words, so Kurenai Yuhi immediately chimed in. "Our Princess Tsunade has apparently been kidnapped by you! We've come to rescue her!"

Kazahana Dōtō displayed the majesty of a monarch. "Oh? What a joke! Although our country is not as large Land of Fire, thanks to our heavy industry, our economic development far surpasses that of your Konoha! How dare you shamelessly claim that the Land of Snow has kidnapped your citizens? This is utterly ridiculous!"

"Sir, there's no need to waste words with them. If they want to fight, we're ready!"

The speaker was a Snow Ninja with a sinister smile. Uchiha Yu recognized him at a glance as Wolf Fang Avalanche, the Jonin who had fought Kakashi to a Nadare Rōga.

"Heh, no need to fight them." Kazahana Dōtō laughed and threatened, "You Konoha Ninja, do you dare to intimidate my Land of Snow's palace in the name of your nation? Remember, this is a declaration of war! This is an act of starting a war! Do you dare to bear such a crime?!"

"Damn it!" Kai didn't know what to say, so he could only grit his teeth.

At that moment, Uchiha Yu's voice came from behind Kurenai Yuhi.

"Actually, this is easy to solve. You say there isn't any, and we say there is. So how about this: if there is..."

Uchiha Yu smiled, "All of you, including your male relatives, died from being run over by a train! Run over more than 180 times, your bones were ground into bone powder to make noodles, your blood was frozen into tofu to cook in hot pot, and all the women were forced to become geishas, serving 2,368 guests a day, and having to shout 'Welcome!' Private Masai!"

"And your sons and daughters, all of them had their mouths hooked with big iron hooks and were in a boiling oil pot. Teacher Hong, why are you pulling me? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Kurenai Yuhi covered half of her ear, "Stop, stop talking."

If Naruto's talk -Talk no Jutsu can redeem someone...

If Uchiha U's talk-no-jutsu isn't controlled, it'll drive people crazy with its verbal abuse.

"Court death!"

Nadare Rōga, standing in the main hall, launched the first attack, his hands rapidly forming several complex hand seals as he shouted, "Ice Release: Horned White Whale!"

In an instant, the surrounding ice blocks seemed to come alive, rapidly condensing and transforming into a huge whale with a sharp horn on its head!

This technique may seem very similar to the Summoning Technique, but it is fundamentally different. It is not summoned from Kamui Dimension, but created by the ninja's own chakra and Ice Release power!

This is the Ice Release: Horned White Whale, which Kakashi once highly praised and called an "amazing ninjutsu"!

Once the Ice Release: Horned White Whale appeared, its enormous body almost completely covered the staircase beneath the entire hall.

It was like a moving Iceburg, surging towards the three of them in an overwhelming manner.

In the blink of an eye, the light source above the three of them was completely blocked by the huge ice whale, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

Kurenai Yuhi looked up at the dark, oppressive mass of clouds overhead, and her heart sank. In this critical moment, she instinctively turned to Might Guy for help.

However, just as Kai was about to make a move, his muscles tense and ready to strike, Uchiha Yu beside him had already completed the Hand Seal and shouted loudly, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

In an instant, a water dragon formed from surging water burst forth, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the Ice Release: Horned White Whale.

Upon seeing this, the ninjas in the main hall were first taken aback, and then burst into a burst of laughter.

In their eyes, the enormous size of the Ice Release: Horned White Whale was like a towering mountain, while the water dragon before them was merely a small stream. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth, and the outcome seemed to have been predetermined.

But before the laughter could dissipate in the air, their expressions froze instantly, their smiles stiffening on their faces.

As soon as the water dragon collided with the Ice Release: Horned White Whale, a vast and powerful burst of chakra erupted from its body without warning.

Everyone looked in astonishment in the direction of the power bursting forth, and saw that the blue Earth Grudge Fear Mask on Uchiha Yu's shoulder was flashing with an eerie light, continuously injecting power into the water dragon!

Uchiha Yu's eyes sharpened, and he shouted again, "Water Release: Crimson Water Dragon!"

With this roar, the enhanced Crimson Water Dragon's momentum surged, and its power multiplied.

It was like an enraged, primordial beast, with a world-destroying aura, as it slammed the beluga whale into the palace.

"Boom—"

A deafening roar shook the entire earth!

The palace's front hall crumbled instantly under the powerful impact, with bricks and stones flying everywhere and raising a cloud of dust.

Nadare Rōga never expected that its sure-fire Killing Move would backfire so spectacularly, crashing down on him like a boomerang.

Kurenai Yuhi and Might Guy, who witnessed this scene, both showed expressions of shock. They only knew that Uchiha Yu was overwhelming among his peers, but they did not expect that his strength was already so formidable!

"Teacher Kai!"

Uchiha Yu loudly, and Might Guy also spotted the enemy rushing towards him on a skateboard!

"Leaf Hurricane!"

Might Guy kicked the fat guy on the skateboard, but the kick didn't cause any damage to the fat guy!

"What is this!?" Kai noticed something strange about the armor his opponent was wearing. At that moment, Kurenai Yuhi also faced her opponent!

"Magic Tree Binding Death!"

Kurenai Yuhi used illusion magic to conceal her body and then pulled out Kunai stab Fubuki Kakuyoku!

However, just as the Kunai was about to Fubuki Kakuyoku's eye, the female ninja subtly turned to the side and dodged the attack!

"So fast!" Kurenai Yuhi's gaze was serious. She had clearly activated the Tree Binding Death, which even the Sharingan could not withstand, so why did this female ninja not react much?

At that moment, Uchiha Yu's voice came.

"The Chakra Armor they wear can make them immune to most genjutsu and ninjutsu!"

"What!?"

Before Kurenai Yuhi could react, Fubuki Kakuyoku threw out a series of swallow-shaped ice blades!

"Ice Shield: Swallow Returns!"

Kurenai Yuhi hurriedly swung her Kunai defend herself, but just as she managed to block it, the swallow-shaped ice blades circled around and then returned!

Kurenai Yuhi, the genjutsu ninja, was immediately plunged into a fierce battle!

On the main hall, Kazahana Dōtō watched his subordinates fight fiercely against the Konoha Ninja and smiled confidently.

"Given time, when Chakra Armor is mass-produced, the Shinobi World will tremble beneath my feet!"

Before he could finish speaking, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently at him!

But what Uchiha Yu said was somewhat inexplicable.

He cried out, "Please don't fall for an illusion! I beg you!"

But Kazahana Dōtō closed his eyes amidst this angry shout.

Seeing that Kazahana Dōtō had fallen under a genjutsu, Uchiha Yu's expression turned grim.

"If I can't even defend against my genjutsu, how can I defend against Itachi? Never mind, I'll get my hands on him first, and if necessary, I'll have Orochimaru modify him."

He was just about to step forward and give Kazahana Dōtō a quick death when suddenly, he formed a hand seal!

With a "bang!", Uchiha Yu appeared at the other end of the hall!

Where Uchiha Yu had just stood, a swarm of black insects appeared!

Uchiha Yu glared angrily at the person who had just ambushed him, and immediately cursed, "Yamanaka Fu!? Aburame Torune!? Danzo! You're asking for it!"
