Land of Snow.
"Charge! Kill Kazahana Dotō and help the Princess reclaim the throne!"
"Ice Release: Eternal Blizzard."
The rebel army of Land of Snow, facing the defensive forces organized by Land of Snow, had over a hundred Ninja release a combined Ninjutsu.
It swept towards the Lord's Manor, covering the sky and earth.
"Naive. Under absolute power, all resistance is futile."
Kazahana Dotō faced the avalanche of combined Ninjutsu with only disdain on his face.
His subordinates, in a coordinated effort, released Ice Release Ninjutsu, blocking the Ice Release: Eternal Blizzard.
With the amplification of Chakra armor and their superior numbers, how could the rebel army of just over a hundred Ninja be a match for the regular army?
"Earth Release: Crushing Stone Array."
Just as Kazahana Dotō was feeling smug, fifteen figures surrounded the entire Lord's Manor.
The Royal Guard formed hand signs and cast spells, creating countless barrier techniques, with runes floating in the air.
As soon as they finished speaking, countless gravel appeared out of nowhere.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Like cannonballs, they slammed into Kazahana Dotō's forces.
Thud! Thud!
Countless Ninja died in battle.
Even wearing Chakra armor was useless; this was a real, physical attack.
"Earth Release: Multi-Pillar Rain."
Countless stone pillars fell from the sky, striking towards Kazahana Dotō's direction.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
This was information Satoru had gathered.
Roar!
Facing such a wide-range attack, Kazahana Dotō could no longer hold back.
"Ice Release: Black Dragon Double Kill."
Roar!
Two black dragons appeared out of thin air, circling around Kazahana Dotō, shattering each incoming attack.
His guards, Jonin like Rouga Nadare, also unleashed their true abilities upon seeing this.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rumble!
"The Royal Guard are amazing!" Mitori exclaimed, marveling at the spectacular scene.
"As expected of those who guard the Daimyo, this strength would be an overwhelming force on the battlefield, wouldn't it?"
Yuren said.
Satoru: "Indeed, as expected of the Taketori Clan. This level of strength would make them standouts even in Konoha."
Having been in this world for so long, he finally saw the top-tier power of the Land of Fire outside of Konoha.
It was indeed not simple.
This range of attack could wipe out an average Ninja village.
And the attack intensity was also outrageous.
Combined Ninjutsu was a Ninjutsu he hadn't really encountered before.
Although he had some of Iwagakure's Ninja memories and knew the key to their Ninjutsu connections, there was nothing he could do.
After all, this was a group Ninjutsu; one person alone was useless.
It was quite interesting.
And the Ninjutsu of Land of Snow, as expected, incorporated natural energy.
During the process of performing Ninjutsu, it would draw in some natural energy, forming Land of Snow's unique Ice Release.
As his perception grew stronger, and his research into cursed seals deepened, coupled with his ability to quickly enter a meditative state, he could now more clearly sense the existence of natural energy.
Perhaps with more experimentation, he could develop Sage Jutsu.
Or develop Sage Mode.
There was also the unknown Ōtsutsuki Urashiki; these were all potential references.
"I don't know when Ōtsutsuki Urashiki will attack Konoha; it's better to speed things up!"
Satoru had originally wanted to learn more about Land of Snow.
But Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was like a stone pressing on his heart.
Without resolving it, he always felt like he would attack Konoha.
He himself would be fine, but his family, wife, and children were something he could not tolerate.
"Genjutsu: Hypnosis."
During his intelligence gathering, Satoru had already planted Genjutsu seeds on some Snow Ninja.
Since today was the decisive battle between the two sides, it could naturally be put to use... "What are you doing?"
"Go to hell."
"Bastard, we're on the same side."
"Go to hell."
"We're our own people."
"Go to hell."
Clang! Clang!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Some Snow Ninja who were still fighting the rebel army suddenly turned their weapons on their own people.
In an instant, their formation was in chaos.
And they suffered heavy casualties.
The rebel army, seeing this, was also pleasantly surprised. Although they didn't understand why they were fighting each other, they saw an opportunity...
"Damn it, you guys from the Land of Fire, aren't you afraid of a joint judgment from other countries?
Interfering in other countries' internal affairs, you're asking for death."
Kazahana Dotō knew that Kazahana Koyuki's strength was simply impossible to possess such power.
Based on previous intelligence, he knew that the Land of Fire had intervened.
Taketori Tenma smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, it will be over soon. Earth Release: Moving Mountain Jutsu."
He clenched his hand.
The runes of the technique connected to the ground, linking the Chakra of the fifteen people.
Rumble!
The rocks that had been shattered by Kazahana Dotō exploded with a roar under the power of the earth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang!
A huge roar echoed across the battlefield.
Countless people fixed their gaze on their Lord.
He was gone.
Only explosions and smoke remained.
When the smoke cleared, there was no one left, not even a speck of flesh, only faint traces of blood.
Land of Snow's proud Chakra technology, under such an attack, was reduced to nothing.
"Hiss! As expected, it cannot be underestimated. This is a Ninjutsu that draws on the energy of the earth, which is Sage Jutsu. I didn't expect the Royal Guard to also know it."
Satoru looked at the ruined area. This attack was outrageous.
However, it was over.
The Land of Snow mission was about to be completed... Several days passed.
A new Lord of Land of Snow emerged, with Kazahana Koyuki taking the position, assisted by Sandayū.
They expressed their gratitude to the people of Konoha.
Kazahana Koyuki even tried to tempt Satoru with the position of a concubine, asking him to stay in Land of Snow.
Facing such temptation, Satoru used a memory insertion and modification to erase her thoughts in that regard.
Only Konoha's outstanding contributions remained.
"I am a man with a family; trying to tempt me, that's a pipe dream."
Satoru would not fall for it.
He wasn't someone who only thought with his lower body.
If it were other transmigrators, they might modify memories after the deed, then dust themselves off and run.
But who was Satoru? A true gentleman.
He disdained such actions.
But then again, even a true gentleman has his own little schemes. He captured all the scientists in Land of Snow who were researching Chakra armor and other technologies.
He used Genjutsu to extract their knowledge and copied their data.
He was going to establish the Technology Development Bureau and be its first director.
He should start preparing now.
In this regard, Land of Snow, which was just beginning to rebuild, had no idea.
With this data, Konoha wouldn't have to start from scratch and would have more resources.
He also read their Ice Release Ninjutsu from the countless Ninja corpses.
This was a Ninjutsu that could draw on natural energy, although it had regional relevance.
But it was also a rare research material...
"Thank you for your support. I hope our future collaborations can continue."
Sandayū appeared on the dock with Kazahana Koyuki.
The film crew was already preparing to return.
At this time, Kazahana Koyuki no longer felt that way about Satoru; her thoughts were completely manipulated.
If Satoru hadn't felt it was unnecessary to control her like Obito controlled Yagura, he would have done so.
"Goodbye."
Set sail, depart.
