----

Land of Snow, the royal castle.

Outside the windows, a blizzard raged as icy winds howled endlessly.

Inside the dimly lit grand hall, towering pillars of ice radiated a bone-chilling cold.

Seated upon the throne, a man clad in heavy Chakra Armor slowly swirled a goblet filled with crimson liquid.

He was the usurper of the Land of Snow—Fukaze Nami.

At that moment, a massive screen in the center of the hall was playing footage from The Adventures of the Wind and Cloud Princess.

Onscreen, Fuji Yukie rode a white horse, glancing back with a heroic and resolute expression.

Fukaze Nami stared at that familiar face, his eyes dark and sinister.

"Have you confirmed it?" he asked coldly.

From the shadows, a kneeling Snow Country ninja replied respectfully,

"Yes, Lord Fukaze Nami."

"After facial comparison and intelligence verification, the actress Fuji Yukie is indeed the princess who escaped years ago—Fukashi Koyuki."

"Furthermore, according to reports, they are currently heading toward the Land of Snow under the pretense of on-location filming."

"The escorting ninja are Konoha's Team 7, and the leading jōnin is—"

The ninja paused, his voice lowering.

"The Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake."

At the sound of that name, the man standing beside Fukaze Nami let out a contemptuous sneer.

Tall and gaunt, his hair tied back into a ponytail, he too wore Chakra Armor.

He was the leader of the Three Snow Ninja—Wolf Fang Avalanche.

"Hmph. That man again."

A cruel glint flashed in Wolf Fang Avalanche's eyes.

"Ten years ago, letting him take Fukashi Koyuki and escape was my greatest humiliation."

"But this time—"

He clenched his fists, and the Chakra Armor covering his body emitted a faint mechanical hum.

"With this upgraded Chakra Armor, his ninjutsu and even his Sharingan will be rendered useless."

"This time, Kakashi Hatake won't be escaping again."

Fukaze Nami drained the wine in his goblet in one gulp.

The red liquid trickled down the corner of his mouth.

"Hehehehe…"

A low, greedy laugh echoed through the hall.

"As long as we capture Fukashi Koyuki, we can obtain that 'key.'"

"The Hexagonal Crystal…"

"It is the only key capable of unlocking the secret treasure of the Land of Snow."

"So long as we acquire that treasure, this frozen, barren land will become the most powerful nation of all!"

Suddenly, Fukaze Nami crushed the goblet in his hand.

Glass shards scattered across the icy floor.

"Pass down the order. The moment their ship enters the iceberg waters…"

"Sink them all into the frozen sea!"

Aboard the film crew's ship bound for the Land of Snow.

The sea wind roared, carrying a biting cold that pierced straight through the bones.

The massive icebreaker surged forward across the vast ocean, cutting through waves as endless deep-blue waters and floating ice fragments surrounded it.

"Ah—!!"

A sharp scream shattered the stillness of the sea.

The cabin door was flung open.

Fuji Yukie, dressed only in a thin silk nightgown, her hair disheveled and barefoot, stumbled out onto the deck.

She clutched the railing with both hands, staring at the boundless ocean and the steadily dropping temperature as her mind finally collapsed.

"The sea… it's the sea…"

"I don't want to go to the Land of Snow! I want to go back!!"

"Take me back!!!"

The crew members adjusting equipment on deck gradually stopped what they were doing, all staring at the hysterical lead actress with helpless expressions.

The director covered his face in despair. "Here we go again…"

"I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!"

San Tayū rushed out after her, bowing repeatedly to the surrounding staff, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Miss Yukie is just a little… seasick! Yes, seasick! Please forgive her!"

"Who's seasick?! I was kidnapped!"

Fuji Yukie suddenly spun around, pointing a trembling finger at the silver-haired man leaning lazily in the shadows of the deck.

"It's you… you again!"

Fukashi Koyuki's eyes were bloodshot, fury overwhelming her fear.

"You bastard! How dare you! I'm a famous actress—how dare you kidnap me!"

She grabbed a decorative wooden barrel nearby and hurled it at Kakashi with all her strength.

Thud.

Kakashi didn't even look up. He casually raised one hand.

The wooden barrel shattered in midair, splinters scattering everywhere—yet not a single fragment touched him.

He slowly closed the book in his hand—Make-Out Tactics—and lifted his eyelids.

His exposed eye, usually half-lidded and lazy, now radiated an icy chill that made one's heart tremble.

He stepped toward Fukashi Koyuki.

With every step, the air around them seemed to grow heavier.

"Kidnapped?"

Kakashi chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in his smile.

"San Tayū has already paid the full commission fee, and I have fulfilled my duty of 'escort.'"

"At this moment, you are my mission objective."

He stopped in front of her, looking down at the trembling woman, his voice low and cold.

"And one more thing."

Kakashi narrowed his eye slightly. A tangible killing intent instantly locked onto her.

"Woman, do not test my patience."

"This is the open sea. If you want to swim back, I don't mind throwing you overboard."

Fukashi Koyuki shuddered violently.

That suffocating sensation of being targeted by a predator surged over her once more.

She opened her mouth to retort, but it felt as though an invisible hand was gripping her throat, robbing her of all sound.

Crushed by Kakashi's overwhelming presence, she could only lower her head, biting her lip, unable to utter a single word.

"Good."

Kakashi withdrew his killing intent and returned to his usual lazy demeanor.

"It seems you've calmed down."

He turned toward the stunned director and San Tayū.

"Director, the lighting and atmosphere are perfect right now. Aren't you going to start filming?"

"An expression this desperate and helpless… isn't something you can act out."
