Chapter 334: Freezing the Sea

"Hmph, do you think I've trained all you Snow Ninjas just to be useless?!"

Hearing the heavy tone from his subordinate ninja, Nadare Roga, Kazahana Doto's face immediately showed a trace of displeasure. "Even if we can't hire any outside ninjas, we still have my carefully developed Chakra Armor…"

"I don't care about Scarlet Yu! Send out the order to mobilize all the forces of the Land of Snow!!"

"This time… I want to turn the entire Land of Snow into an impregnable fortress! I want these guys to come and never return!!"

After issuing the command, Kazahana Doto looked at the scattered Snow Ninjas around him, tightly clenching his fists, revealing that he was far from calm at the moment…

…

"It looks like we should be arriving soon…"

"Is that the Land of Snow…"

As the massive ship sailed across the boundless sea, Yu finally saw the vast land on the horizon, sitting on the surface of the sea. It was an endless expanse of icy plains, and only by crossing it would they truly enter the Land of Snow.

"As Princess Koyuki said, it really is a cold country…"

Although Yu was now completely unafraid of the cold due to his current condition, he still instinctively tightened the cloak he was wearing as the cold wind blew in from the sea. "But given this terrain, if a war breaks out, it should be very difficult for the enemy to successfully enter the Land of Snow, right?"

"Indeed, the terrain of the Land of Snow has always been easy to defend and hard to attack…"

Hearing Yu mention this, Sandayu Asama couldn't help but show a hint of pride. "As long as we hold this vast icy plain, even if more enemies come by sea during a ninja world war, we would have nothing to fear!!"

But soon, Sandayu Asama's expression fell again, and his tone became downcast and frustrated. "It's a pity that Princess Koyuki and I can only flee from our own country now, all because of that traitor Kazahana Doto!!"

"Don't worry, it won't take a day…"

Seeing Sandayu Asama's dejected look, Yu could only offer words of comfort with a sigh. "Soon, I will help you reclaim your country…"

Boom!!

As soon as Yu finished speaking, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from the distant icy plains.

Countless metal ice balls, resembling cannonballs, were rapidly hurled towards the ship they were on. Upon hitting the deck, they exploded into numerous thorn-like metal ice spikes, demonstrating terrifying lethality and destructive power.

"It looks like Kazahana Doto has already noticed our movements…"

In the face of the sudden and fierce attack, Yu's gaze fell on the thorn-like metal ice spikes, his eyes reflecting a hint of surprise. "But judging by this, it seems that technology in the Land of Snow has advanced well under his leadership…"

"Wow, wow, wow! This is a major war scene! Quickly, everyone, get it on film!!"

Amidst the chaos, the film crew that had followed along was still seizing the opportunity to shoot. The director even shouted at Yu on the deck, "Mr. Yu… are you really not considering being the lead in our movie? With your appearance, you'd definitely become a huge star!!"

Snow Ninjas… Kazahana Doto…

Can we really defeat that guy…

Ignoring the nonsensical film crew, Yu noticed that after the battle erupted, Kazahana Koyuki, who had been sitting silently on the deck, seemed to be growing increasingly nervous, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her kimono.

After all, having witnessed Kazahana Doto kill her father and seize the entire country when she was very young, and being forced to flee the Land of Snow, she harbored a deep-seated fear of her treacherous uncle.

"Perhaps it's the result of being away for too long…"

At that moment, a warm hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. Kazahana Koyuki instinctively looked up and saw Yu's youthful and handsome profile. "It's alright, because soon you'll be able to reclaim your country, Princess Koyuki…"

Barrier Arc!!

While comforting Kazahana Koyuki, Yu noticed the increasing number of Snow Ninjas and the countless metal ice balls falling from the icy plains in the distance. He snapped his fingers with his other hand.

A transparent, round portal to another dimension suddenly opened above everyone's heads, and Michael's figure burst out from it. He immediately released a massive, arc-shaped barrier that enveloped the entire ship where everyone was.

Boom, boom, boom…

Countless highly destructive metal ice balls hit the giant barrier Michael had erected, creating sharp metal ice spikes with each impact. However, they couldn't break through the Barrier Fruit's defense and instead fell into the surrounding sea like raindrops.

This… this guy…

He doesn't seem so bad after all…

While the other people on the ship marveled at Yu's extraordinary skill, Kazahana Koyuki, reassured by Yu's understanding words, finally began to relax a bit. However, as her gaze swept over Yu's calm and handsome profile, she suddenly felt a mysterious flush on her face…

Ice Age!!

At this moment, Yu was too occupied with his duties to notice the Land of Snow princess's feelings. Feeling the ship shaking violently due to the explosions on the sea, he moved his fingers slightly, pulling Elementalization's Toshogun out from Kaio's dimensional space.

The icy, Ultimate Freezing Air spread like a plague across the sea beneath everyone's feet. To everyone's astonishment, Yu completely froze and encased the entire ocean in ice!

"What… what is this?!"

"This is nothing short of a miracle!!"

A piercing cold wind blew across the frozen sea, and as they looked at the ocean transformed into an endless white ice field in the blink of an eye, Sandayu Asama and everyone on the ship were stunned.

Not only were these ordinary people shocked, but even the Snow Ninjas gathered on the distant icy plains were also awed by this sight.

"It's time for you insignificant fish to calm down a bit…"

After turning the entire ocean into frozen land, Yu, watching the relentless storm of metal ice balls still flying towards him from the distance, had a glint of cold light erupt in his amber eyes.

God-Killing Spear!!

As Yu activated the Thread Fruit's ability, the people around him hadn't even reacted to what was happening when a blinding white beam shot out, surpassing 500 times the speed of sound and creating a massive, gaping hole in the distant icy plains.

Sizzle!!

Then, with a gentle sweep of Yu's hand, the God-Killing Spear sliced through the entire icy plain in the distance. Amidst the upheaval of the heavens and the earth, countless Snow Ninjas fell like raindrops from the torn mountain.

"The… the entire mountain has been cut apart…"

Although everyone had heard of Yu's power before, seeing such an exaggerated, disaster-like scene with their own eyes still left everyone on the ship stunned and speechless.
