I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

The Ryujin-enhanced ninja sword stunned Jugo with this attack.

'What a brilliant attack!'

'To think... they were able to react in such a short time...'

As Jugo watched Shigure, the look in his eyes gradually faded...

It slowly fell backward.

Just as Shigure was still in a daze, Guren appeared, took Jugo, and fled.

Shiyu did not pursue, but instead carefully savored the feeling she had just experienced.

It feels amazing to have the enemy's every move under my control and to be able to kill them with the least amount of power!

Is this how great sages are used in battle?

[Congratulations, host, for fully analyzing the character Jugo and gaining the new skill Natural Energy Absorption.]

Natural energy!

Shi Yu's eyes widened, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

'Finally...it's here...' Chuan.

Chapter 116 The Snow Country Mission Completed: Shigure's Arrangements

Natural energy absorption!

This skill made Shigure excited.

It had been a long time since I had felt this excited. Even after developing the Fusion Release technique with the bloodline limit, Shigure had never felt this excited.

'Celestial arts! Finally, we can put that on the agenda.'

Previously, Shigure was thinking about how to learn Sage Mode. If there was really no other way, he would have to go to Ryuchi Cave or Mt. Myoboku.

But now that I've acquired this skill, it seems I no longer need to sign a contract.

"Shigure! Shigure, are you alright?!"

Kakashi saw Shigure standing there in a daze and wondered if Guren had hurt Shigure when she left.

However, when they arrived in front of Shigure, they found that Shigure was in perfect health and had no injuries whatsoever.

Shigure snapped out of her daze and looked at Kakashi. "It's alright, Kakashi-sensei!"

"That female ninja was very strong; both of them have disappeared!"

Kakashi turned around and said, "They seem to be coming for you!"

"Ok!"

I have no idea who these two guys are or who sent them.

Do you know who wants to harm you?

Shi Yu shook her head. "I don't know!"

Although he already knew it was Orochimaru, why would Orochimaru target him for no apparent reason? There's too much to explain.

There's no time for that now!

boom!

Behind them, Shigure and Kakashi heard the roar of the raging wind and snow.

The two immediately fled backwards.

Feng Hua Nu Tao just rushed in that direction.

They should be fighting Naruto and Sasuke right now.

However, when the two arrived, the forest had been almost completely destroyed by the blizzard.

The chakra flow powered by the chakra armor on Feng Hua Nu Tao's body, along with his ice-style ninjutsu, was clashing with Naruto and Sasuke's Rasengan Chidori.

It seems that the two not only blocked Feng Hua Nu Tao, but also seriously injured him.

His bloodied mouth and swollen face made him look quite disheveled.

"Two mere Konoha genin dare to block me? They're courting death..."

"Get out of my way!"

Ice Release: Twin Dragon Blizzard!

The raging waves were enraged and unleashed their strongest attack.

Although it's called Ice Release, it's actually just using Wind Release to summon ice and snow, creating a terrifying ice storm to attack enemies.

If it weren't for the Land of Snow, or a place without ice and snow, then this could only be a Twin Dragon Storm.

Shigure saw that Naruto and Sasuke were almost at their breaking point.

Without any hesitation, he made his move.

Escape - the technique of instantaneous movement...

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in from the sky, appearing directly behind the raging waves.

At the same time, Naruto and Sasuke, who saw Shigure appear, widened their eyes in surprise.

They stared at Shigure in disbelief, unable to accept the way he had appeared!

Naruto: 'What is this? The stream has turned into Shigure?'

Sasuke: 'Transformation Jutsu? No… it must be a more advanced ninjutsu!'

If transformation magic could have this effect, then everyone would probably be using it by now.

The moment the rain appeared, the wind and waves seemed unaware; in that instant, the rain was like a ghost.

The ninja sword Zangetsu, which flows and forms a rain of water.

He slashed directly across the throat of the raging storm.

The flow was still on the blade, Escape~Flow Blade!

one strike!

As the sound of the chakra armor on Feng Hua Nu Tao's chest bursting rang out, a crimson hue also rose directly into the air.

Shigure stepped past Feng Hua Nutao from behind and sheathed her sword with a backhand motion.

Feng Hua Nu Tao was still staring wide-eyed at Shi Yu.

Pfft!

He collapsed to the ground, lifeless!

Sasuke and Naruto exchanged a glance, and the snowstorm gradually subsided.

Shiyu went straight to Xiaoxue and asked, "Are you alright?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue nodded, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she gazed at the now-dead Feng Hua Nutao.

I don't know if happiness turned into sadness.

Kakashi slowly walked out and looked at the dead Fuuka Nutō on the ground.

She sighed silently.

This mission to the Snow Country can be considered completed ahead of schedule.

Feng Hua Nu Tao is dead, so what happens next...?

"Your Highness, this is... wonderful... Feng Hua Nu Tao is dead... the future of the Snow Kingdom... is secured!"

The three doctors were overjoyed. They never expected that their years of planning would be so easily defeated by a few Konoha ninjas.

This is the world of ninjas, where the power of ninjas transcends everything...

"Mr. Sanwu, I think our mission is complete!" Kakashi said, looking at the doctor.

The three doctors nodded. "Yes, yes, now that Feng Hua Nu Tao is dead, there will be no more danger within the Snow Country!"

"Then we'll..." Kakashi was already preparing to take Shigure and the others back. He needed to hurry back and investigate who those two ninjas who launched the sneak attack were.

"Can we stay one more day?"

Xiaoxue looked at Shiyu.

Kakashi also looked at Shigure, while indicating that Shigure should make the decision himself.

One day is nothing, one day is fine!

"it is good!"

The reason why Xiaoxue let Shigure and the others stay an extra day was to take them to see the so-called treasure of the Snow Country with their own eyes.

However, there was no treasure at all; the so-called treasure was merely the father's vision of his child's dreams.

I witnessed a brief spring in the land of snow!

And a day later.
