On the ship's deck.
"Hurry up!"
The stage assistants were running back and forth, busy with preparations, while all the actors were getting ready:
"Otherwise the director will get angry! Bring the ship to shore, props team get ready, all actors prepare! Once we land, filming will begin immediately!"
Very quickly, under the efficient coordination of the crew,
the ship docked at the edge of the glacier, and everyone was ready to disembark.
At that moment.
Whoosh.
Yagyu's figure appeared, blocking Kazahana Koyuki, who was about to step ashore first.
"Wait."
Looking at the iceberg ahead, Yagyu said with a cold smile:
"You can't go up there yet."
Hearing Yagyu's words, everyone froze for a moment. Koyuki turned a puzzled gaze toward him.
Although she still felt some fear toward Yagyu because of what happened before,
she also knew that at the very least, he wouldn't harm her.
"Lord Yagyu, what's wrong?"
Asama Santarō came to Yagyu's side and asked:
"Is there something unusual here?"
Shaking his head, Yagyu's gaze passed Santarō and landed on Koyuki:
"I know your identity isn't ordinary. To avoid unnecessary trouble later when you get scared and try to run, I'll let you witness my power today."
"Don't worry. Right now, I'm far stronger than Kakashi."
As he spoke, wearing a cold-weather cloak, Yagyu stepped onto the iceberg alone.
Watching his lone figure land, the others looked at each other in confusion, completely unsure of what was going on.
Koyuki, however, seemed to realize something. Her face turned pale as she grabbed the railing tightly, barely keeping herself from losing composure.
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Yagyu walked alone onto the iceberg.
"Come out."
"I've already sensed the chakra signatures of the three of you. Stop hiding."
As his words fell, Yagyu raised his hand and drew the chakra blade from his back.
Zheng.
A sharp metallic hum rang out.
Immediately after, three unmatched slashes of sword energy shot toward three different directions.
Boom.
The blade energy carved three deep trenches into the glacier. If it had struck a person, it would have split them apart instantly.
Just as the slashes were about to hit their targets.
Crack crack crack…
Thick snow suddenly burst open, and three figures shot out, barely dodging Yagyu's three slashes of blade energy.
Landing to the side, their true appearances were revealed.
They were none other than the three powerful ninja of the Land of Snow's Yukigakure Village.
Rōga Nadare, Fubuki Kakuyoku, and Mizore Fuyukuma.
These three had once even joined forces to defeat a younger Kakashi, forcing him to flee the Land of Snow with the still young Kazahana Koyuki.
As for their strength.
Average at best.
Trash-tier ninja.
The kind that Yagyu did not even bother to take seriously.
But just because Yagyu did not care did not mean others felt the same.
With the appearance of Nadare and the other two, everyone on the ship's film crew had their expressions drastically change, their faces filled with fear.
Kazahana Koyuki's face showed fear that ran deep into her bones.
Her body trembled uncontrollably. If Asama Santarō had not been supporting her, she would have already run back into the cabin.
On the iceberg.
"A ninja from Konoha?"
After seeing Yagyu, Rōga Nadare showed a look of disdain:
"I thought it would be some powerful jonin, but it's just a brat?"
There was a tone of arrogance in his voice, as if he looked down on everything.
Someone who did not know better might think he was incredibly strong.
"You two, kill him."
Looking at Yagyu, Nadare casually ordered:
"Then capture Kazahana Koyuki on the ship. Our mission will be complete."
Upon hearing his command,
Fubuki Kakuyoku and Mizore Fuyukuma immediately took action.
One of them extended wings from his chakra armor and flew into the air, while the other took out a snowboard.
The two of them attacked Yagyu at the same time.
A cold smile appeared on their faces, and with killing intent circulating around them, they did look somewhat intimidating.
"What a lack of awareness."
Looking at the two charging toward him, Yagyu spoke calmly:
"Relying on equipment, you're only at elite chunin level at best."
As Yagyu finished speaking, Lightning Release chakra began flowing around his body.
The next moment.
Crackle.
Like a flash of lightning, Yagyu instantly appeared in front of Fubuki Kakuyoku.
"I'll deal with you first."
Appearing right before her, the chakra blade in Yagyu's hand was wrapped in an extremely sharp Wind Release edge.
Simultaneously using two chakra nature transformations was effortless for him now.
"Your life is mine."
With a calm gaze, as if looking at a corpse, Yagyu spoke indifferently.
Zheng.
As he spoke, the chakra blade in his hand let out a sharp hum, carrying a chilling arc of light as it slashed toward Fubuki Kakuyoku's neck.
Puchi.
A sharp sound of blade cutting through flesh rang out, Yagyu's strike directly broke through Fubuki Kakuyoku's chakra armor defense and beheaded her in a single slash.
From the moment he attacked to the moment of the kill,
it all happened in an instant. Even Fubuki Kakuyoku herself had no time to react before her head was separated from her body.
"What?!"
Below, Mizore Fuyukuma, who had been coordinating the attack with Fubuki, widened his eyes in shock:
"I didn't sense anything, and he already killed Fubuki?! Who exactly is this guy?"
As confusion rose in Mizore Fuyukuma's mind.
Crackle.
Yagyu's figure had already appeared behind him without him noticing.
"Then… are you ready to meet the god of death?"
Yagyu's cold voice sounded.
Fear filled Mizore Fuyukuma's face.
Before he could react or say anything,
Yagyu's death sentence rang out once more:
"Go to hell and count your sins."
Zheng.
Puchi.
Another flash of blade light passed.
Mizore Fuyukuma's headless body and his head, which flew several meters away, fell to the ground at the same time.
Click.
After killing two people in succession, Yagyu sheathed his blade.
Turning around, his gaze shifted toward the last of the three Snow ninja.
Rōga Nadare.
"That's two dealt with."
With a calm yet slightly domineering gaze, Yagyu looked at Nadare and spoke:
"Next… it's your turn."
Step step step.
As he spoke,
Yagyu locked his gaze onto Nadare, giving him no chance to escape.
Stunned, Rōga Nadare looked at the corpses of Fubuki Kakuyoku and Mizore Fuyukuma on the ground, his expression turning extremely serious.
Staring at Yagyu with vigilance, his body tensed:
"Who exactly are you?! How could Konoha possibly have a ninja this strong?"
