Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

“Strength isn’t the problem,” Shimura Gengetsu shook his head. “The problem is how much money you can offer.”

Uzuki Yugao had already drawn her long sword. "Please trust in Gengetsu-kun's strength. Even if all the Snow Ninjas were to come out in force, he could still kill them all."

Uzuki Yugao had extreme confidence in Shimura Gengetsu's strength. He could slaughter even the elites of the Cloud Shadow like cutting melons and vegetables, let alone the ninjas of these remote villages.

Seeing their confident expressions, Feng Hua Zaoxue no longer thought the three of them were fools, and felt much more at ease.

"In that case... as long as the rebellion can be suppressed, I can pay ten times the reward as an S-level mission."

"That's not enough. I need one more thing: the chakra armor manufacturing technology of the Snow Village."

"make a deal."

Feng Hua Zao Xue nodded, "But if it really can't be done, please take Xiao Xue with you."

"can."

The two quickly reached an agreement, and Shimura Gengetsu assigned tasks to Izumi and Yugao: "Protect the Daimyo and Princess Yuki. Leave the enemies outside to me."

After saying that, Shimura Gengetsu ran out of the main hall alone.

"You're just going to let him fight the enemy alone?" Fuuka Shoyuki asked incredulously.

Uzuki Yugao shook her head. "We'd only cause trouble if we went. It's better for us to stay here and protect you. Where's the best vantage point?"

"Come with me," Kazayuki Kazahana led them to the highest floor of the palace, where they could see flames shooting into the sky outside through the windows.

The rebels have successfully breached the city gates. About fifty ninjas, accompanied by two chariots, are heading straight for the palace.

The people in the city scattered and fled, except for a small figure who rushed against the current towards the ninjas of Snow Village.

Upon seeing Shimura Gengetsu, a female snow ninja frowned slightly and waved her hand, "Release!"

Suddenly, many small square grids appeared on the chariot, from which hundreds and thousands of kunai shot out.

Shimura Gengetsu formed hand seals and slammed his fist into the ground.

"Escape Earth Current City Wall!"

Rumble!

Several earthen walls rise from the ground, and are carved with moku (a mythical creature) patterns, which look rather cute.

All the kunai were stopped, and just as the female ninja was about to give the order, fierce flames broke through the earthen wall, turning into a raging sea of ​​fire that rushed towards the group of ninjas.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguishing!"

"Ice Shield and Ice Prison Technique!"

Upon seeing the terrifying sea of ​​fire, many Snow Ninja hurriedly formed hand seals and combined ninjutsu to defend themselves. The terrifying high temperature rapidly melted the ice walls, evaporating large amounts of water vapor. This was a scorching sensation that the Snow Ninja had never experienced before.

"Oh no, our ninjutsu is no match for the enemy!" With a massive supply of chakra, they melted a large amount of ice and snow, but the power and range of the flames remained undiminished.

"Ice Shield Breaks Dragon and Tiger!"

"Ice Shield Black Dragon Blizzard!"

Two angry shouts rang out simultaneously, and Wolf Fang Avalanche and Wind Flower Raging Waves leaped in front of everyone, working together to extinguish the flames.

But they showed no sign of joy.

How can this kid be so strong!

"Xuanyue Jōnin!"

As the steam dissipated, Feng Hua Nu Tao shouted in a deep voice, "I know you only accepted the mission of escorting Feng Hua Xiao Xue. This is an internal conflict of the Snow Kingdom and has nothing to do with you!"

"I can give you the mission reward, and I'll give you even more money, as long as you leave with your team!"

Shimura Gengetsu withdrew his hand seals and scoffed, "Isn't it time for you to send people to spy on us?"

Feng Hua Nu Tao's face darkened. "You already knew?"

"I'm just waiting for you to bring everyone here." Shimura Gengetsu reached out, took a snowflake, and squeezed it tightly, "and then crushed you all to death."

Whoosh!

Shimura Gengetsu moved with incredible speed, rushing into the crowd of Snow Ninja.

It's sizzling!

A large amount of electricity surged from his body, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand also emitted lightning. Several snowmen who were not quick to react were instantly sent flying backward, with large patches of blood splattering from their bodies.

Then even more people took to the air.

Kazahana Sayayuki, watching the battle from a high-rise building, was excited. He couldn't see Shimura Gengetsu's movements clearly, but he could see more and more snow ninjas falling.

"Is this Lord Xuan Yue's power? It's so powerful!" Kazama Shoyuki's body trembled; he saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

“What is this?” Uzuki Yugao shook her head. “Xuan Yuejun is just warming up. His true power has not yet been revealed.”

He didn't use either the Flying Thunder God Technique or the Scorching Release technique; he only used one ninjutsu.

Perhaps... it doesn't even qualify as a warm-up.

"Lord Xuan Yue..." Feng Hua Xiao Xue stood on a small stool, her hands clasped together in prayer, "Please be sure to quell the rebellion and return safely."

"Stop it!"

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered indiscriminately and unable to even touch Shimura Gengetsu's clothes, Wolf Fang Avalanche angrily formed hand seals.

"Ice Release: Ice Puppet!"

Several puppets made of solid ice stood in front of Shimura Gengetsu as human shields, buying time for the other snow ninja to survive. By the time these puppets were cut down, Wolf Fang Avalanche had completed another ninjutsu.

"Ice Release: White Whale!"

A large amount of chakra condensed, causing ice and snow to solidify into a giant white whale, which crashed high into Shimura Gengetsu.

"This is called Ice Release?"

Gengetsu Shimura's eyes were full of disdain.

A true bloodline limit is a more powerful force born from the mixing of chakra within the body, while the Ice Release of the Land of Snow is merely a weather ninjutsu that uses ordinary water-style chakra to protect the environment.

"Let me show you what true bloodline limits are!"

Shimura Gengetsu sheathed his sword, and several spinning fireballs appeared in his hands, which he hurled at the giant ice whale.

"Scorching escape, steaming kill, seeking!"

The scorching heat melted the ice whale with overwhelming force. Wolf Fang Avalanche leaped high into the air and slammed into the fireball. Suddenly, the chakra armor on his body emitted a purple light, greatly increasing the power of the punch and giving it the effect of absorbing ninjutsu. It actually managed to neutralize the remaining power of the Scorching Release.

Wolf Fang Avalanche looked at his fist, feeling a burning pain, and his heart skipped a beat.

He can absorb chakra, but he needs to withstand the high temperatures that have already formed.

"Lord Nutao, this brat is troublesome. Let's attack together and finish him off as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Feng Hua Nu Tao removed his magnificent cloak, revealing a suit of armor similar to that of Langya Xue Beng, and came to his side, looking at Shimura Gengetsu with icy eyes.

He knew that it was impossible to get rid of Shimura Gengetsu by talking; he could only rely on his strength to forcibly drive him away.

They exchanged a glance, and simultaneously began forming hand seals.

Chapter Ninety: The Crystal Dragon Breaks Through the Sky, a Useless Geothermal Device

As a prince of the Snow Country, Fuuka Nutō holds a position of great prestige here.

But from a young age he harbored ambitions; he didn't want to be a prince, but a king.

However, he kept it well hidden, rarely interfering in political affairs, and instead devoted himself to honing his ninjutsu in the Snow Village.

Because Feng Hua Nu Tao knew that only with great strength could he have a chance to succeed in his rebellion.

Decades of training have made Feng Hua Nu Tao an even more powerful ninja than Lang Ya Xue Beng. With the addition of his chakra armor, Lang Ya Nu Tao even felt that he could go toe-to-toe with the Kage of those great nations.

He didn't believe that Gengetsu Shimura could handle both of them at the same time.

"Ice Release: White Whale Overturns the Sea!"

"Ice Release: Twin Dragon Storm Kill!"

The snow-capped mountains outside Windflower City roared as several enormous ice whales roared in, and two black tornadoes instantly formed, destroying everything in their path, from houses and trees to parking lots.

The chakra armor on the two of them also lit up, clearly indicating that they couldn't achieve this level of power on their own; it was entirely due to the amplification effect of the armor.

Even Uzuki Yugao and Uchiha Izumi, who were watching the battle, were shocked by the effect.

"What powerful ninjutsu!"

If Uzuki Yugao were in Xuan Yue's current situation, all she could do would be avoid battle.

Suddenly, she remembered the conversation between Xuan Yue and Feng Hua Zao Xue earlier, and tentatively asked, "Is the power of their ninjutsu related to that chakra armor?"

“That’s right.” Kazahana Hayate sighed. “This is a weapon being researched by the Snow Village. It can amplify chakra and increase defense, but I stopped their research long ago and also cut off funding. I didn’t expect they would still be secretly researching it…”

Feng Huazao Xue was not without ambition, but he also understood a principle:

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

Even if a powerful chakra armor were developed, it would only attract the covetous eyes of those powerful nations.

With these armors, the Land of Snow will never be able to surpass the Five Great Nations; all it will bring is disaster.
