The guard, Asai Santayu, quickly reminded them, and the group immediately stopped and hurriedly searched for a place to stay nearby.

After all, that's how things are now.

They were still quite unfamiliar with everything in the Land of Snow.

Even though Yun An and the others were strong enough to withstand the cold, Fuuka Koyuki and Asai Santaifu, who were standing nearby, were certainly not as physically capable.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately, it happened before it got completely dark.

They finally found a village inhabited by people from the Snow Country.

Scattered throughout the village are rows of wooden houses, which, from a distance, bear a resemblance to the architecture of Amegakure.

Compared to the peaceful and tranquil environment of Konoha Village, the wooden houses here appear particularly simple and dilapidated, which is rather disappointing.

With the wooden house as a shelter, the howling cold wind outside could no longer penetrate, and the biting chill was completely kept out.

A glowing stove burned brightly in the warm room, and the leaping flames warmed everyone's faces, dispelling most of the fatigue from a long day's work.

The group sat around the stove, eating the hot porridge and fragrant baked flatbread brought by the village auntie, their faces showing a sense of contentment and gratitude.

Even Yun An, who is known for his bad temper, said a few kind words at this moment.

Yun An's attitude towards these simple, hardworking people has always been relatively mild.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Yun An accepted the last bowl of hot porridge, and his gratitude went beyond mere words.

He simply pulled a roll of coins from his pocket and handed it over.

The old woman waved her hands repeatedly, looking troubled, as if she was unwilling to accept it.

Yun An smiled faintly and said sincerely, "Auntie, please don't refuse. There are so many of us, we can't let your family take it all."

Consider this money as money for our travel expenses and provisions; please accept it.

The reason was reasonable. The old lady hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it with tears in her eyes, muttering "You are good people" over and over again.

Yun An's heartwarming gesture naturally caught the attention of everyone in the team immediately.

"Okay, Yun'an," Tsunade raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on her lips, her gaze falling on Yun'an. "I didn't expect our Konoha ninja to be so kind."

Jiraiya, standing nearby, pouted and muttered dejectedly, "I'm kind too, why doesn't anyone praise me?"

Yuhi Hong leaned quietly against Yun An's right side, silently resting her small, delicate head on his shoulder, a faint smile on her face.

Only a man like that is worthy of her, even in her twilight years.

Even if it's shared with others.

She was willing to do it.

A mother's happiness is priceless.

Both Kurenai Yuhi and Tsunade seem to emphasize "doing things as they please".

Seeing this, Yun An gave a helpless bitter smile, shrugged, and said in a flat tone as if he were talking about a trivial matter: "It's just a small favor."

"This is no small matter."

Kakashi Hatake suddenly spoke up in rebuttal.

His Sharingan eyes narrowed slightly, and he said seriously, "For most ninjas, the lives of civilians are often insignificant."

Therefore, people like you, Yun'an, are truly rare and precious.

Yun An looked at him with some surprise and doubt, thinking to herself: When did Kakashi become so kind and helpful?

It's really a bit hard to get used to.

Finally, even Jiraiya stared wide-eyed at Yun An, as if what he had done was some kind of earth-shattering feat.

"Matt Kai, what do you want to say?"

Yun An deliberately ignored Jiraiya's probing gaze and turned to look at Might Guy beside him, emphasizing "I'm happy to do it."

Matt Kai immediately straightened his back, grinned to reveal two rows of bright white teeth, and said excitedly, "Little Li and I, master and apprentice, will naturally learn from Senior Yun An at all times. After all, everyone says that only someone like Senior Yun An can bring true peace."

Yun An nodded, which was considered an agreement with them.

This time, however, it was clearly just verbal support.

After all, Yun An was only one person, and there was actually only so much he could do. He was willing but unable to do anything, which was probably the case.

Jiraiya's eyes remained wide open, his gaze fixed on Yun An, but no matter what expression he wore, Yun An ignored him.

Unbeknownst to him, Jiraiya seemed to have become the most unpopular person in the entire group, remaining completely detached from everyone's conversation.

Who told him to still be Yun'an's love rival?

Yun An has never shown mercy to his enemies.

The fact that Jiraiya is allowed to live a good life now is already a favor, out of consideration for our past acquaintance. Otherwise, how could he be enjoying such a carefree life today?

Yun An is not a tolerant or magnanimous person, in fact...

He has no interest in being tolerant.

That night, everyone slept exceptionally well.

After what happened last night, Fuuka Koyuki and her guard Asai Santau's attitude towards Yun An and the others has clearly changed.

Clearly, it was Yun An's sincerity towards the people of the Snow Kingdom that moved them.

Even the usually aloof Feng Hua Xiaoxue unconsciously revealed a touch of intimacy in her words and actions at this moment.

"Konoha and the Land of Fire are truly blessed to have someone like Lord Yun'an."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue looked at Yun An with a burning gaze.

She pursed her lips slightly, mustered her courage, and continued, "If possible, I wonder if Lord Yun'an would be interested in staying in the Snow Kingdom from now on?"

Even… the position of Daimyo of the Land of Snow can be given to Lord Yun'an.”

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, most people in the team could probably guess her intentions.

Tsunade's expression changed instantly. Although she didn't immediately step forward to stop her, the way she gritted her teeth was enough to show how terrible she was feeling.

"How dare you steal my man, Feng Hua Xiao Xue, you've got some nerve."

Tsunade muttered under her breath as she nudged Kurenai Yuhi with her elbow, her eyes filled with anger. "Hey, why aren't you reacting at all?"

Now that they've come knocking on our door, if we don't fight back, we'll truly become pushovers, at their mercy.

She paused, then added, "Kurenai, you're the village's master of illusion. Shouldn't you think of a way to solve this huge problem?"

Tsunade said through gritted teeth.

She is most proficient in medical ninjutsu and taijutsu, but only average in genjutsu.

Moreover, she had to admit that she and Fuuka Koyuki had gotten along quite well during this time, and their friendship made her reluctant to take action, so she could only push all the burden onto Yuhi Kurenai's shoulders.
