"How could this be...?"

A snow ninja trembled and screamed, "How could Feng Hua Nu Tao have so many ninjas?"

That's impossible. Absolutely impossible.

"How can the chakra within Feng Hua Nu Tao be so strong?"

Asai Santayu's face was deathly pale, his lips trembling. "I feel... I feel like I'm almost at the true Kage level..."

He finally figured it out.

Feng Hua Nu Tao was already an elite Jonin, even approaching Kage level, and now, with the added boost from the mecha, he has truly reached that level. "Your Highness."

Asai Sandayu suddenly turned to look at Fuuka Koyuki, his voice filled with despair, "Why didn't you mention this before?"

With power like that, aside from the ninjas of Konoha, we are no match for Feng Hua Nutao. It's all over... utterly and completely over.

The surrounding snow ninjas all looked terrified and trembled all over.

Only they, as ninjas, could truly understand just how powerful the raging winds and waves were at that moment.

At this moment, let alone fighting against the raging wind and waves, just being able to stand here intact is already a testament to their commendable courage.

"Run away now!"

Someone roared, "What are you all standing there for? Are you all going to die here?"

"Hurry up and get His Highness away from here. If we delay any longer, we'll all be doomed."

A series of panicked shouts rang out as the snow ninjas scattered and fled, their speed reaching its peak.

This was a scene that Feng Hua Xiaoxue never expected.

In her mind, the scene before her eyes should be that she leads the Snow Ninja to break through the fortress, destroy the Fuuka Nutō, then take over the position of Daimyo as the rightful heir, and then, in the name of the Daimyo of the Land of Snow, expel all the ninjas of Izumi and Konoha.

As long as Konoha doesn't want to go to war with the Land of Snow, it will most likely tacitly approve of her actions.

At worst, she could personally compensate Yun An and his group of ninjas afterwards.

That was the greatest sincerity she could offer.

But the current situation is something she could never have imagined.

She ultimately underestimated the world of ninjas.

Before Kazaka Koyuki could recover from her shock, Yuki Shinobu grabbed her arm and dragged her away as they ran wildly.

pity.

From the moment they stepped into the open space in front of the fortress, they were already trapped in a raging storm; it was too late to escape now.

"Trying to escape?"

The sound of wind and waves echoed like a ghost in the snow, carrying a mocking laugh: "My dear niece, now that people have come, where can you escape to?"

"Obey your duty to return to the Land of Snow, and obediently dedicate yourself to the glory of the entire Land of Snow in your own name."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mecha on Feng Hua Nu Tao's body suddenly burst into a burst of bright light, and a series of colorful signal flares shot straight into the sky, exploding in the dark night sky and scattering a sky full of rosy light.

The seven-colored sunset seemed to be announcing the arrival of his era of great change and prosperity.

In the blink of an eye.

The ninjas around him all activated their mechs and sped away in mid-air at a speed that was far beyond what the snow ninjas around Kazahana Koyuki could match.

The snow ninjas gritted their teeth and did everything in their power to protect Kazaka Koyuki as she fled.

At this moment, the only commendable thing is that they did not abandon Feng Hua Xiaoxue and flee for their lives alone at this critical juncture.

It is evident that this group of people still possesses basic loyalty and righteousness, and has some commendable qualities.

Meanwhile, on a distant high ground, the Konoha members were watching this scene from above.

Matt Kai clenched his fists, ready to rush out to help several times, but was stopped by Yun An again and again at the crucial moment.

Jiraiya looked at Yun An with a puzzled expression, about to ask a question, when he heard Little Lee next to Might Guy suddenly speak up, his voice filled with a sense of sudden realization: "Master, it was Princess Kazahana Koyuki who didn't trust us first. If we help her so easily now, she probably won't be very grateful."

"Even though the teacher said that helping others is the source of happiness, it doesn't mean that we should be forced to accept other people's suspicion and exploitation."

Xiao Li's words were well-organized and logical, which pleased Yun An.

"Protecting others requires first and foremost protecting ourselves."

Yun An looked at Might Guy, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable power, "Remember this, Might Guy, this is yet another lesson I, a senior in the ninja world, am teaching you."

Upon hearing this, Matt Kai's eyes glazed over, and a hint of confusion appeared between his brows.

He couldn't help but ask, "But senior, this kind of behavior seems so different from the Will of Fire in the village... Shouldn't companions, partners, and bonds be the most important things?"

"That depends on whether your partner can withstand your bond."

Yun An spoke coldly, "Not every partner is worthy of this trust."

Matt Kai remained silent.

He was extremely respectful to Yun An, and naturally felt that Yun An's words made sense.

At last.

He nodded silently and did not offer to help again.

Jiraiya, who was in the group, seemed to realize Yun An's plan and couldn't help but purse his lips: "It's the same old routine as before, how boring."

To first corner them and then offer help at the crucial moment is utterly pointless.

When the other party brought up the old stories from previous years, Yun An didn't mind at all. Instead, she followed the topic and used it as a teaching material for the younger generation: "According to the practices of previous years, when have we ever received double the payment?"

Regarding Konoha's network of connections and power relationships, including the frequency of accepting new missions and the employer's favorability, are they all at a five-star level?

Finally, when we take on the same task again, do we also gain a lot of convenience as a result?

Isn't that so?

Yun An looked at Jiraiya, her tone somewhat rhetorical, "Just because you call yourself 'boring,' do you really want to reject benefits that are delivered to your door, benefits that you can obtain simply by opening your mouth or spending a little time?"

Yun An recounted these words slowly and deliberately. After listening, Jiraiya's eyes flickered slightly. Finally, he pursed his lips and said with a guilty look, "Anyway, whether in the past or now, I have never been your match in verbal skills."

Whatever you say, that is what it is.

This guy is just arrogant.

He knew perfectly well that Yun An was doing the right thing, but the ninja way he had upheld since childhood was not so utilitarian.

and so.

He was trapped in this strange cycle, feeling extremely awkward.

It can only be said that the two sides had different goals.
