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

Soon, Konoha's forces swept down from the high ground and blocked Kazeka Koyuki's path.

Jiraiya quickly stepped forward and carefully helped the swaying Koyuki Fuuka to her feet.

Such heartwarming things are of course most suitable for an "older uncle" like him to do.

As for Yun An, as the main character at the end, he naturally had to wait until the scene was properly set before uttering a few exquisite sarcastic remarks, which would be in line with his style.

He slowly walked forward, looking down at the disheveled Feng Hua Xiaoxue, a half-smile playing on his lips: "So you're still alive."

"I never imagined that I would see the princess of the Snow Kingdom again in this kind of environment."

His tone was light and casual, yet it carried a chilling sarcasm: "But didn't Your Highness secretly ditch us hired ninjas who were given the missions before?"

Now, why are they going to such lengths to follow these footprints back?

As soon as Yun An spoke, even Jiraiya, who had stepped forward to help, wisely shut his mouth.

These were unspoken rules they established when they were young and carrying out missions.

When Yun An is doing things, not only the hospitable Jiraiya, but even the most arrogant Tsunade in the team must obediently shut up.

Otherwise, everyone could die.

This custom was also passed down to the next generation of Konoha Village.

There can only be one voice in the team.

Only in this way can a unified will be implemented and the cooperation between teams be maximized.

Tactics can be reviewed and discussed afterward, but during the execution of a mission, there must be absolutely no questioning of the captain's orders.

Otherwise, such a person is completely unworthy to be a ninja of Konoha Village.

Even with great abilities, if someone doesn't care about their own and their companions' lives when carrying out missions, they are ultimately a hidden danger.

Since the Sakumo Hatake incident, the Konoha leadership has provided the most comprehensive supplementary explanations regarding such cases.

The mission is important, but the lives of the village's ninjas are even more important. The mission can be abandoned, but the lives of the ninjas come first.

It was this very incident.

Not only did it allow the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the "Hero of the Ninja," to successfully retain Sakumo Hatake, a Kage-level fighter, but it also instilled a strong sense of belonging in most of the village's ninjas towards this already elderly Hokage.

After all, he was a Hokage who cared deeply about the lives of ninjas.

How bad can he be?

Only by working for a village like this and for a Hokage like this can all the ninjas truly feel at ease.

All I can say is that Hiruzen Sarutobi is really capable; he completely plagiarized Yun'an's ideas.

However, since he was able to save Sakumo Hatake and give Konoha another Kage-level fighter, and even extort a large sum of money from the Third Hokage afterward, Yun An didn't harbor much resentment.

As soon as Yun An finished speaking, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue trembled as she pursed her lips, slowly raised her face, which was purple from the cold, and looked at Yun An with her eyes red and swollen from crying, looking pitiful.

He met Yun An's fox-like face, which held a sly smile.

She choked back tears, finally managing to utter a sentence filled with deep regret: "I'm sorry...we were wrong...I did something wrong."

"Just last night, after discussing matters with Lord Yun'an, I began to worry about the ownership of the Snow Kingdom... That's why I made this terrible mistake."

She lowered her head deeply, her voice filled with pleading, "Lord Yun'an, and all the ninjas of Konoha, please, for the sake of the possibility of cooperation between Konoha and the Land of Snow, save the Land of Snow, save the ninjas of the Land of Snow. I beg you, sirs."

Seeing that Feng Hua Xiaoxue did not shirk responsibility but instead readily admitted her mistake, a strange look flashed in Yun An's eyes.

Not bad!

Only a princess of the Snow Country like this could be considered barely qualified to become the future daimyo of the Snow Country.

If one lacks even this basic sense of responsibility and only knows how to shirk responsibility when faced with problems, even if one attains a high position, one will not be able to maintain it for long before revealing one's true colors and ultimately becoming a disgrace to the entire country.

Yun An, naturally, was unwilling to support such a person to become the new ruler of the Snow Kingdom.

Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.

after all.

He is a true pacifist, and that has never changed.

"If the reward is doubled as previously promised, we'll go and rescue them."

Yun An spoke calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger, yet carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

There was no deliberate attempt to make things difficult, yet every word struck at the heart of Feng Hua Xiao Xue's vulnerabilities.

At this moment, amidst the gentle breeze, delicate snow, and light blossoms, where is there even the slightest hesitation?

She nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, as if she would do whatever Yun An said.

Let alone doubling the reward, even if she were to sell the entire Snow Kingdom to Yun An right now.

She absolutely can do it.

The feeling of watching so many people die.

She really didn't want to experience that again.

"it is good."

Yun An laughed loudly, his face full of the smug satisfaction of his scheme succeeding.

When Jiraiya saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He was saddened to discover that even after so many years, Yun'an's plan was still as effective as ever.

I'm afraid that once the mission is completed, this guy will utter that extremely classic line again.

Konoha is Konoha, but my words don't carry as much weight as those of the village.

In order not to damage the village's reputation, the original price is fine. We are not that greedy people, and I am not some kind of devil.

Damn it.

He had it all planned out from the start, but he deliberately played the villain first and then pretended to be the good guy at the end, which somehow won him the girl's favor. He was incredibly successful.

Sometimes, Jiraiya even suspected that Yun'an's popularity among girls in the ninja world was largely due to these tactics.

He had tried it like Yun An had, and it seemed to work quite well.

But every time it comes to the crucial moment...

He couldn't get over his own conscience and couldn't help but confess everything, which naturally earned him a resounding slap from the girls.

He could dodge it, but the education he received from childhood made him too ashamed to hide.

For quite some time afterward, Jiraiya was beaten until his head was a mess.

A typical example of someone who's bad at games but loves to play.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue nodded heavily again, struggling to get up and catch up with the group, but her frozen legs tripped her and she stumbled.

In the end, it was Leonardo DiCaprio who quickly stepped forward and carefully carried her on his back.

The team consisted of either girls or older members, making young Li the most suitable person for this task.

"Your Highness, you don't mind?"

Little Li asked honestly.
