Chapter 338: The True Treasure

Boom!!

Everyone heard an explosive sound near their ears as Yu's Secret Taijutsu fiercely met Kazahana Doto's Ice Release Ninjutsu. The two powerful forces collided, and the terrifying impact actually tore apart the ice-covered sea beneath them.

Sizzle!!

Immediately after, a sound like tearing fabric was heard. Everyone saw Yu's black giant Dragon Claw tear through Kazahana Doto's Black Dragon Blizzard, sending his tall and robust body reeling back.

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Seeing his expertise in Ice Release Ninjutsu, which had been enhanced by Chakra armor, being torn apart by Yu's Taijutsu with his bare hands, Kazahana Doto's face showed disbelief.

"Don't tell me you thought that just because you're wearing Chakra armor, you're truly invincible..."

Before Kazahana Doto could recover from his shock, a gust of wind swept past him, and Yu's figure appeared like a ghost right in front of him. As his body suddenly descended, a powerful kick with immense force struck him directly!

Boom!!

A muffled explosion rang through the air before everyone's eyes. They saw Kazahana Doto, struck by Yu's kick, seemingly deformed and elongated by the unmatched force, instantly transforming into a beam of light and being thrown out!

Rumble!!

Then everyone heard a distant, rumbling vibration. Kazahana Doto, now a straight line of ice, crashed like a projectile into a far-off collapsing iceberg, embedding himself deeply into it in a sprawled position.

"Doto-sama…"

"He's completely outmatched…"

Seeing this scene, the Nadare and the others lying on the ground immediately fell silent, trembling uncontrollably.

"Ugh…"

Blood gushed from Kazahana Doto's mouth. After struggling to get down from the ice wall and landing on the ground, he looked down at his shattered Chakra armor, unable to believe his eyes. "My Chakra armor… it's actually broken?!"*

"This isn't real! This is impossible!!"

Quickly, unable to accept the reality, Kazahana Doto's face twisted into a more ferocious and grim expression. "The Chakra armor I developed is invincible! No one can be my opponent! You all must die!!"

"Ice Release: Twin Dragon Blizzard!!"

Accompanied by Kazahana Doto's hysterical roar of anger, he gathered all his Chakra into his hands and unleashed it forcefully.

A massive amount of Chakra mixed with the biting winds, snow, and frost of the Land of Snow, forming two roaring and ravaging giant Dragons. They charged towards Yu across the ice-covered sea, tearing apart everything in their path with their immense power!

"Impressive power, but it's already over…"

Facing the Twin Dragon Blizzard roaring and rampaging towards him, Yu's handsome and calm face appeared like a flawless sculpture against the icy backdrop. His amber eyes were as cold as if they could freeze the air itself. "Next strike, I'll send you to hell along with the thunder…"

Wailing Chidori!!

As the words fell, a sharp and piercing sound, like thousands of birds crying out in sorrow together, spread across the entire ice-covered sea.

After mixing Senjutsu Chakra into the S-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu Chidori, the dazzling and violent black lightning that erupted from Yu's hands immediately captured the attention of everyone present.

"What an ear-splitting sound…"

Although they had seen Konoha's Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi use Chidori before, the Nadare and the others lying on the ground couldn't help but widen their eyes at the sight of the black Chidori in Yu's hands. "Such an exaggerated attack frequency… What kind of technique is that?!"

Boom!!

Before Nadare could finish speaking, the entire ice-covered sea in front of them exploded. Yu, who had been standing there, had instantly vanished.

Then, the sharp and piercing sound whistled through the air before everyone's eyes. Yu, with the black Chidori in his hand, had transformed into a black aurora, charging out with such speed that it was impossible for the naked eye to capture, thanks to the super S-rank Sage Art Lightning Release.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

Not only that, but during Yu's rapid thrust with Wailing Chidori, the two black Black Dragon Blizzards that Kazahana Doto had unleashed were completely torn apart by the black lightning in Yu's hands.

"How could this be… No… No!!"

Kazahana Doto could only feel that in the blink of an eye, Yu, who had torn through the Twin Dragon Blizzard, had instantly thrust in front of him. The black Chidori in Yu's hand seemed to amplify infinitely before his eyes, as if it came from the depths of hell!

Sizzle… Rumble!!

There was no chance of escape. Kazahana Doto, struck directly by Yu's Wailing Chidori, had every cell in his body shattered by the black lightning. His tall and robust figure was once again thrown back, crashing into the iceberg behind him like a projectile.

As the black lightning quickly covered and spread across the entire iceberg, the whole iceberg exploded and shattered under the immense power, burying Kazahana Doto forever within.

"Is… Is he dead…?"

Seeing that the battle had ended in an instant, and that Kazahana Doto, the murderer who had killed her father and usurped the entire country, was buried forever by Yu, Kazahana Koyuki could only stare with wide, tearful eyes.

"All the cells in his body have been shattered by my Chidori; he's as dead as dead can be…"

The familiar and calm voice of Yu sounded next to her. After killing Kazahana Doto, Yu had returned to her side and urged, "Let's go. Don't just stand here; we still need to open your Kazahana family's treasure and take over the entire Land of Snow."

"It's… it's just too amazing!!"

After a moment, the stunned people on the ship finally reacted. The director of the film crew jumped up with excitement. "Did you all capture the footage of the battle just now?!"

Having conquered the Land of Snow and killed Kazahana Doto single-handedly, Yu paid no attention to the chattering film crew behind him. He followed Kazahana Koyuki to a snowy valley within the Land of Snow, where huge ice-encased stone tablets stood in all directions.

"Yu-sama…"

Upon reaching their destination, Haku could no longer hold back his curiosity and asked, "Why do the ninjas of the Land of Snow also use Ice Release?"

According to common sense, since the persecution of Kekkei Genkai ninjas in the Village Hidden in the Blood Mist, Kekkei Genkai Ice Release, which is a combination of Wind and Water Chakra Nature Transformations, should currently be inherited by only him in the ninja world. However, each of the Snow Ninja Trio is proficient in Ice Release Ninjutsu.

"Haku, you need to learn to observe carefully…"

Hearing Haku's question, Yu patiently explained, "Your Ice Release is a true Kekkei Genkai and can be used anywhere. However, their Ice Release is just a technique that uses the surrounding natural ice to attack, similar to how we use Water Release in a water environment. Do you understand?"

"I see now…"

After hearing Yu's explanation, Haku immediately understood and turned to look at the defeated and surrendering snow ninjas behind them, his gaze showing a sense of relief.

"This is the place…"

"I've heard that inserting my crystal necklace here will open the secret treasure of the Land of Snow…"

As she spoke, Kazahana Koyuki had already stepped forward and inserted the hexagonal crystal necklace she was wearing into the central altar in front of her, her hands clasped in prayer and her eyes showing a hint of anticipation.
