Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

Yun'an followed the path of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, always considering the pros and cons from a realistic perspective and prioritizing the interests of Konoha.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, followed the path of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, possessing both idealism and formidable strength.

This in itself is not necessarily wrong.

However, one can bring tangible benefits and stability to Konoha Village, while the other's ideals, if not realized, are tantamount to loss.

In this situation, the interests of Konoha Village will inevitably suffer great damage.

Yun'an doesn't usually talk about it, but that doesn't mean this situation doesn't exist.

Jiraiya was more or less aware of this matter.

He was, after all, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. Even though he hadn't become Hokage or Hokage Advisor all these years, he had still learned about the ins and outs of the court and ninja villages through his surroundings.

He could more or less guess it.

otherwise.

His position as a high-ranking combatant in Konoha seemed utterly useless.

"Okay, okay, you're right, I'll listen to you now."

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Yun'an, Jiraiya simply resorted to cheating, spreading his hands and making a gesture that said "I admit defeat".

Yun An smiled but didn't continue teasing.

After all, Jiraiya had always been like this, and over time, people got used to it and didn't think it was a big deal.

not to mention.

Sometimes, having such a "fool" around is actually a good thing for him.

At least, when you're working yourself to the bone for the team and weighing the pros and cons, there's still that one big fool behind you who's genuinely thinking about you and worrying about the team's safety.

Such people are rarely seen in the increasingly pragmatic world of ninjas.

Therefore, many times, Yun An could completely change Jiraiya's mind in one go, but he often chose to give up at the last step.

Although he did not agree with Jiraiya's idealism, he had to admit it.

If there were more "fools" like this in the world, perhaps it would really be a little warmer.

People should be content.

At this moment, the open space outside the fortress has become a living hell.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue watched helplessly as the snow ninjas who had risked their lives to protect her were captured one by one by Feng Hua Nutao's subordinates in mechs, slammed into the air, and then crashed heavily to the ground.

With a "thud," one after another, cold corpses fell in front of her. The heavy smell of blood mixed with the cold air of the wind and snow rushed into her nostrils.

The familiar smell of blood instantly stirred up her long-buried memories.

The images of her father's tragic death and the massacre of her clan flooded back like a tidal wave, making her heart pound and a deep sense of regret welled up within her.

If she hadn't used that little trick, if she hadn't secretly shaken off the Konoha ninjas, if she had brought the legendary Sannin and that group of powerful figures with her... with their strength, they shouldn't have been unable to defeat Fuuka Nutō.

Thinking of all this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart, making it hard to breathe.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words stuck in her throat.

Her body was stiff as an ice sculpture, and she could only watch helplessly as those who were protecting her fell one by one, severely injured, and as the shadow of death slowly devoured her.

"I don't want to... I don't want to die..."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue subconsciously waved her hands frantically, screaming hysterically, her voice filled with desperate sobs.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly."

A hoarse shout pierced through the chaotic sounds of fighting.

Asai Sandayu had also donned an old suit of armor at some point, serving as the former chief bodyguard of the daimyo of the Land of Snow.

His innate fighting spirit was finally awakened.

He was covered in blood, yet he still stood firmly in front of Kazahana Koyuki, roaring again and again, "Go! As long as His Highness is alive, there is still hope for the Land of Snow. Go and find the ninja masters of Konoha. We still have a chance to live."

The shouts finally pulled Feng Hua Xiaoxue back from the brink of collapse.

Yun An's face flashed through her mind unconsciously.

The face that she had initially found hateful, filled with calculations and weighing pros and cons, now seemed strangely... somewhat pleasing to the eye, and even somewhat reliable, compared to the bloodthirsty and ferocious face of the raging storm in the wind.

Indeed, everything needs to be compared.

Without comparison, most people simply don't realize how hard-won what they currently possess is.

Peace never comes from nothing.

Even a simple life of having enough to eat and living a peaceful life is a luxury that countless people can only dream of in this war-torn ninja world.

Under the cover of the crowd, Feng Hua Xiaoxue staggered and turned around, frantically fleeing in the direction she had come from.

However, Feng Hua Nu Tao, who was high above the fortress, did not order any obstruction. He simply stood with his hands behind his back, coldly watching her back, a playful smile on his lips.

He wanted to see if those Konoha ninjas would actually make a move.

Do you dare to go against him?

"I must save everyone... I must find Lady Tsunade, Lady Jiraiya, and all the other powerful ninjas... I must ensure everyone's survival..."

This is the only belief that keeps Feng Hua Xiao Xue running at this moment.

In the midst of a blizzard.

She stumbled and rushed forward, following the footprints she had come from.

The biting wind stung her face like a knife, bringing tears to her eyes.

She was gasping for breath, each breath feeling like she was coughing up her lungs.

But she dared not stop.

The thought that the people behind her had risked their lives to keep her alive made this ordeal seem insignificant.

But she was ultimately just a pampered princess who had never cultivated chakra and whose physical abilities were no different from those of an ordinary person.

In such a harsh environment of ice and snow, the intense running had already exhausted her strength, and she probably wouldn't last more than half an hour.

She would collapse in the snow due to shortness of breath and exhaustion, and freeze to death.

This is the fate of most ordinary people in the ninja world.

It is a thousand times more fragile than the life of a ninja.

"Senior Yun'an, it's time for us to make a move. Even if we don't, we should at least show our faces."

Matt Kai clenched his fists, looking at the swaying figure in the snow, his voice filled with urgency.

Jiraiya also cast an approving glance at him, clearly agreeing with Might Guy's words.

Yun An looked at the two of them, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

As soon as this action was completed, everyone in the team breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

In this way.

They will no longer have to go through that cruel choice.
