Naruto: Let the glory of the giants spread throughout the ninja world!

"Frostbite?"

Sasuke stared in shock at the wound on Kakashi's leg.

"That's right, it seems that this 'Wind and Waves' has obtained the power of the Snow God, and is using it quite 'appropriately'."

Kakashi gave a meaningful response.

Sasuke frowned. "But, to me, neither his fighting skills nor his disheveled escape seem like those of a qualified warrior."

"That's right," Kakashi said, recording his pant leg. "The situation with 'Wind Flower Angry Wave' is more like a child who happens to get a kunai, only knowing how to mindlessly stab, without any other skills."

"But Sasuke, you need to understand, that's the part that's most wrong."

"What do you mean?" Sasuke's intelligence, which was similar to Naruto's, began to kick in; he didn't think there was anything wrong with Fuuka Nurarihyon.

"Think about it, Feng Hua Nu Tao is a daimyo who rose to power through rebellion, and he was previously the Great General of the Snow Country. Do you really think he would be as clueless about combat as a commoner?"

Having heard Kakashi's reminder, Sasuke finally realized what was going on.

"Are you saying that even the raging waves aren't actually familiar with this power?"

Sasuke stroked his chin again and asked, "Then what do you mean by 'proficient'?"

Kakashi sighed and rubbed his forehead. "If Fuuka Nyuto only recently gained this power, then we need to investigate why he's only started having it now."

"What if he had obtained it before?"

"If he acquired it before, even if his previous generalship was a nominal one with no combat skills, you have to know that the Land of Snow does have ninjas. I rescued Kazahana Koyuki during a mission ten years ago, so I know the strength of this country all too well."

"If he already had this strength, he would have trained specifically for it. This also cannot explain his current situation. After all, given his physical condition, if he hadn't just been running away, it would have taken us a lot of effort to capture him."

Sasuke quickly picked up where Kakashi left off.

Kakashi gave Sasuke an approving look. "That's right, so this situation isn't enough to explain the state of the Wind and Waves. Then there's another explanation."

"Sasuke, do you know what a Jinchuriki is?"

In the original story, Sasuke shouldn't have known about Jinchuriki at this point. It was probably because of Akira Ryukura that Kakashi decided to reveal more of the truth to his student.

"Jinchūriki?" Sasuke looked at Kakashi in confusion, clearly having never heard of this term before.

"For example, Naruto is a Jinchuriki. I believe you saw Naruto using his power in the Land of Waves."

Sasuke pondered, his thoughts returning to the time of the battle with Genpaku in the Land of Waves.

"You mean... Feng Hua Nu Tao might have a powerful and uncontrollable force, just like Naruto?" Sasuke replied with a hint of uncertainty.

"That's right. As for Jinchuriki, I can't tell you in detail because it involves the secrets of various ninja villages. You can roughly understand it as a human with a powerful creature residing in his body. They will unleash power that doesn't belong to them at many times. In essence, it's the loss of control of the monster's power within them."

As Sasuke listened to Kakashi's explanation, his mind raced. A moment later, he abruptly looked up, "Isn't the Nine-Tailed Fox that attacked the village inside Naruto's body?!"

"Oh? Sasuke-kun, you suddenly become so clever when it comes to Naruto."

Kakashi straightened his clothes and looked at Sasuke with one eye narrowed slightly.

Ignoring Kakashi's teasing, Sasuke immediately confirmed his guess after asking the question.

"That's right, no wonder that guy was always called the Nine-Tailed Fox. But why was a monster like the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside Naruto's body? Could it be that the loser has something special about him?"

Thinking of the immense power Naruto unleashed when he was the worst student, and hearing others talk about Naruto's performance in the Chunin Exams, Sasuke unconsciously bit his fingers and paced back and forth.

Seeing that his beloved student was about to get stuck in a rut, Kakashi promptly offered a reminder.

"Sasuke-kun, don't think about that too much. The most important thing right now is the matter of Fuuka Naruto. After all, Naruto and Fuuka Koyuki have been locked up in who knows where."

"That's right!" Sasuke looked up sharply upon hearing Kakashi's words. "The most important thing right now is to rescue that loser!"

He then turned to Kakashi and urged, "We haven't moved an inch since just now, and now we don't even know where the Wind and Waves have gone!"

Kakashi, however, was not nervous. Instead, he slowly took out his "Make-Out Paradise" and flipped through it, responding casually as he did so.

"Relax, relax, I've already sent Parker and the others to track Windflower and Tide. In this freezing weather, dogs can run much faster than us."

"Then we shouldn't just sit here idly waiting like this!" Sasuke replied, arms crossed. "If you're not leaving, I'll go after them myself!"

"Hey Sasuke-kun, don't be in such a hurry. I just said that either Fuuka Notto-chan suddenly gained power for some reason, or he unleashed an uncontrollable power as a Jinchūriki."

"But you should know that there is actually no difference between the two situations. Both are caused by triggers that lead to the rampage of the power of the wind and waves."

"How will this help solve the current situation!" Sasuke said impatiently, having already prepared his equipment to continue chasing after Fuuka Futō.

"Of course there are, for example, we can deduce that Naruto and the others probably weren't captured by Fuuka Naoto."

"What did you say?! What evidence do you have to say that?"

"Of course there is." Kakashi closed his Icha Icha Paradise and assumed a fighting stance.

"Although Feng Hua Nu Tao was running away, he wasn't running blindly. He was running in a specific direction, where he probably found what he wanted."

Sasuke looked at Kakashi in front of him, puzzled. "What's that?"

"have no idea."

"Then what did you say..." Before Sasuke could finish speaking, his body instinctively assumed a defensive stance, facing the exact same direction as Kakashi.

"Because something won't make him choose to turn back."

Huge waves of snow drifted in from afar, a raging storm of snow closing in on them.
