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

Black Jue did not stop them.

In any case, his ultimate goal is nothing more than to collect the Ten-Tails and revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

So far, the Akatsuki organization has gradually and successfully collected the tailed beasts one by one.

This time, however, the collection was not carried out through cunning and force as he had anticipated; instead, it was done through a "transaction."

The current strength of Konoha Village is simply too great.

They are so powerful that even if the core members of the Akatsuki were to join forces, they might not be a match for them.

Therefore, what the major ninja villages need now is stronger allies in order to maintain their status in the ninja world.

The village leaders were all well aware of this, and naturally, they all cared about it very much.

Within the Land of Snow, the snow continues to fall heavily.

Yun'an did not release the seven-colored glow that could change the climate of the Snow Country.

The reason why the Land of Snow can be called the Land of Snow is because of the endless snow.

Furthermore, this place is located on the edge of the ninja world, far from the conflicts between the major ninja villages, which is why it has been able to maintain its current peace.

On the contrary, if the harsh environment of this place is resolved and the land is made habitable, it will likely become the focus of contention among various forces, and life will only become more unsettled.

This is just Yun An's opinion, but he has great confidence in it.

What Yun'an could think of, others might not.

Kazahana Koyuki, who had officially assumed the title of Daimyo of the Land of Snow, stared at him with a look of doubt in her eyes and couldn't help but say in a leisurely tone: "You know, the Land of Snow has become more habitable, isn't that a good thing?"

Why do you seem reluctant?

Upon hearing this, Yun An did not immediately provide an answer, but instead glanced at the people around him.

After seeing that the vast majority of people looked puzzled.

He nodded and, meeting the gazes of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the others, slowly spoke, his voice carrying a sharp edge that went straight to the heart of the matter.

"If the Land of Snow is no longer the Land of Snow, do you think the other major ninja villages will take action against it?"

"Once it becomes habitable, once it becomes something everyone desires, do you think the current Snow Country will be able to withstand several waves of covetousness?"

"Could it be that the ninjas of Konoha Village will continue to be stationed in this snow country?"

Are they really going to send over Jonin, elite Jonin, and even Kage-level ninjas one by one?

"By then, if the Land of Snow is protected, what will happen to the Land of Fire?"

What about Konoha Village then?

He turned his gaze to Jiraiya and Tsunade, his tone carrying a hint of a question: "I wonder, among the Legendary Sannin, would you, Lord Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade, and Kakashi, truly be willing to stay and help them indefinitely?"

Yun An's words were undeniably harsh, yet every word was a stark and undeniable truth.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya silently shook his head.

After all, forcing him to stay in Konoha Village, where he grew up, would be nothing short of torture, let alone staying in this remote and isolated Land of Snow.

The Land of Snow is not as vast as the Land of Fire, and there is no sense of belonging to a homeland for him. For him, one of the legendary Sannin, it would only be a greater torment.

Needless to say, Tsunade is another example.

She has already settled down in Konoha with Yun An. Moreover, Konoha was founded by her great-grandfather, Hashirama Senju. How could she possibly put all her efforts into the Land of Snow and hand over the interests of Konoha to others?

The glory of the Senju clan, and all the affairs within Konoha Village, cannot be explained or dismissed in just a few words.

In the end, everyone was convinced by Yun An, even Feng Hua Xiao Xue tacitly accepted this reasoning.

Yun An smiled gently, and his gaze toward Feng Hua Xiao Xue held a hint of approval.

At least, the other party wasn't too ridiculously stupid.

……

On this day, the winter sun, unusually warm, pierced through the clouds and shone down.

The Snow Country was still covered in snow, but in this peripheral area, the snowfall was undoubtedly less intense.

Kazakura Koyuki, accompanied by her guards and some ninjas from the Land of Snow, came specifically to see off the Konoha group.

She blinked, her gaze involuntarily turning to Yun An. After a moment's hesitation, she finally asked softly, her voice tinged with barely perceptible trepidation, "Will we... ever meet again?"

It seems that it's true that Fuuka Koyuki, as the daimyo of the Snow Country, was using Yun'an; but her previous words, which were full of affection, were not entirely false.

Perhaps it was because she had met a man like Yun An that she was moved and fell in love.

Before Yun An could answer, he saw Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi standing on either side of him, forming a wall of flesh that completely blocked his way.

Yun An couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, and reached out to pat the two of them on the shoulder.

Seeing this, Kurenai dispersed first, but before leaving, she gave Fuuka Koyuki a meaningful look.

But Tsunade remained stubbornly refusing to budge, her stance suggesting that no one could possibly take her man away.

Looking like this, where is there even a trace of the dignity of the Konoha princess?

She stiffened her neck and, without any politeness, loudly warned Feng Hua Xiaoxue, "Let me tell you, this is my man. He's my man for life, and once he is, he'll always be my man. No one can take him away from me, understand?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue smiled gently after hearing this, her eyes crinkling with a touch of naivety.

She whispered her thoughts: "Actually, Tsunade-neechan didn't have to do this at all. After all, my feelings for Lord Yun'an are just admiration; I have no other thoughts whatsoever."

She bit her lower lip, her voice so soft it sounded like it could be squeezed for water, with a slightly whimpering tone: "Besides, in the future, I just want to join Lord Yun'an and Sister Tsunade's big family. I'm too busy helping Sister Tsunade with the trivial matters, how could I possibly ruin your relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps covered her skin.

She fears nothing but this kind of soft, tender offensive.

In the end, they were completely defeated, without any chance to put up a fight.

Despite being surrounded by what appears to be a layer of hard armor, Tsunade is still a young woman, and she's always been the type to respond better to gentleness than force.

If anyone dares to threaten her, they've really kicked a hornet's nest; they'll be badly hurt, if not killed. But if someone coaxes her kindly and strokes her whims, she's ridiculously easy to talk to.

Otherwise, how could Naruto have persuaded this long-disheartened Sannin to return to Konoha as Hokage with just a few words in the story?

You should know that before this...

She had lost her younger brother and lover, two of her closest relatives in succession. Such a blow was a devastating disaster for the already dwindling Senju clan, and for her, it was an excruciating pain that shattered her entire world.
