After finishing his training, Naruto's injuries were completely healed.

After sensing the commotion around him, Naruto noticed that the ground above him was no longer shaking, so he used Earth Release to emerge from underground.

The ground was covered with ice shards of all sizes. After escaping the natural disaster, Sasuke, Sakura, and the others returned and searched through the ice shards, trying to find Naruto's whereabouts.

At first, Sasuke used his magnetic field to scan the surroundings but could not find any signs of life in Naruto, and thought that Naruto had already died.

The moment Naruto emerged from underground, Sasuke sensed Naruto's magnetic field and immediately rushed over.

Sasuke punched Naruto in the chest, his face a mixture of grief and relief, and said, "You bastard, I thought you were dead!"

Naruto smiled, touched, and said, "Don't worry, I'm tough. This little commotion won't kill me."

“Small commotion, do you know that we were all ten kilometers away and were hit by ice shards and were in a terrible state? Kakashi-sensei even had his sternum broken and was in critical condition.”

Sakura also walked over angrily, looking at Naruto with dissatisfaction and saying, "There won't be a next time. If this situation happens again, I've decided to fight alongside you. I'll never run away again. The feeling of abandoning my comrades and worrying about their safety is just awful."

Naruto was speechless, but felt a warm feeling in his heart.

The three looked at each other, and having experienced the threat of this terrifying, calamity-level ninjutsu, they all felt that their relationship had deepened.

As for Kakashi, who was lying on the side, clinging to life with medical ninjutsu, it seemed that all three of them had forgotten about him.

Chapter 359 The Heavenly Snow Crystal Technique

Team 7's first mission to the village ended in failure. Not only did the mission's client, Tazuna, die, but the Jonin leading the team, Kakashi, was also seriously injured.

Sasuke and Sakura were both somewhat unwilling.

Sakura said angrily, "The mission failed entirely because Tazuna lied about the mission level. That damned old man actually concealed the existence of Zabuza, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and that ice-style ninja..."

“Yes, the mission failure can be blamed on Tazuna, but we must avenge this humiliating defeat where we were almost killed by that ice-style ninja.”

Sasuke's gaze turned icy as he thought about how they would have been crushed into mincemeat if Naruto hadn't risked his life to save them, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.

He was a genius ninja who was going to surpass Itachi Uchiha and revitalize the Uchiha clan. He absolutely had to retaliate after suffering such humiliation.

Sasuke and Sakura are both very proud people, and they both clamor to infiltrate the Land of Waves again and teach that ice-style ninja a lesson.

Naruto did not object to the two's suggestion. He did not have such a strong desire to kill Haku; he was just curious and wanted to know Haku's story, as well as see if he could cooperate with Haku.

Haku's ninjutsu is terrifying; he turned the clouds in the sky into giant blocks of ice that crashed down. This incredible power is close to the level of a Kage.

By winning over Haku, he could gain a powerful ally when he was destroying Konoha.

The three reached a consensus, and then Sakura created a Masked Avatar to build a Masked House, where she carried the unconscious Kakashi inside to take care of him.

Then the three of them used a transformation technique to secretly sneak into the Land of Waves.

……

In the Land of Waves, at Gato's company, Haku's true form is still directing his subordinates to move supplies onto the ship.

Bai stood at the window, gazing in the direction of the falling ice, lost in thought.

"They actually forced my clone to use a forbidden technique. Are the Konoha ninjas this powerful?"

Ice Release clones do not transmit information back to the main body, so Haku cannot be sure whether all the Konoha ninjas have been killed.

Just as he was considering whether to detach some of his men to strengthen defenses in order to prevent the Konoha ninjas from taking advantage of the situation, Zabuza returned.

Although Zabuza, in a disheveled state, had escaped the battlefield early, he was still affected by Haku's ninjutsu.

One of his arms was struck by flying ice shards and severed.

Despite the excruciating pain of his severed arm, Zabuza knelt on one knee before Haku, looking utterly dejected, and said:

"I'm sorry, Lord Bai, things have gone wrong. I underestimated the strength of the Konoha ninjas, and all the Chunin I brought were killed."

My executioner's sword was also taken by the enemy. If it weren't for your avatar appearing on the battlefield, I fear my life would have been in grave danger.

Haku didn't blame Zabuza, but coldly said, "Tell me in detail about the enemy's strength."

"Yes, sir!" Zabuza replied respectfully, and began to recount his experiences on the battlefield, relaying the strength of Naruto and the others.

Upon hearing Zabuza's words, Haku's expression shifted slightly, and he asked skeptically, "Are you saying that the ninjas who defeated you were just a few newly graduated Konoha genin? Are you kidding me?"

Zabuza replied in a trembling voice, "This subordinate would not dare to joke. It was indeed a Konoha genin who defeated this subordinate..."

Zabuza's expression became conflicted as he said, "I believe those genin are definitely not simple; they might be geniuses that Konoha is grooming."

"A genius... how does he compare to Hozuki Mangetsu?"

Zabuza was once considered a genius in Kirigakure, and when he was young, he killed all the students of his class by himself.

However, Zabuza is far inferior to Hozuki Mangetsu.

Hozuki Mangetsu's genius was comparable to Uchiha Itachi's.

Hozuki Mangetsu is only eleven or twelve years old, but his strength already far surpasses that of a Jonin. He can skillfully use all the ninja swords and is hailed as a peerless prodigy by Kirigakure.

Even Haku in the Land of Waves knew of Hozuki Mangetsu's reputation.

Zabuza recalled how easily Naruto had received his Executioner's Blade, and how Naruto had casually refined the blade and used it to cut off the heads of ten of his subordinates. He lowered his head and said, "Perhaps it's even stronger than Hozuki Mangetsu!"

Bai nodded: "I understand, you can go now!"

Zabuza bowed and took his leave.

Haku gazed out the window, lost in thought: "Since they are ninjas even more talented than Hozuki Mangetsu, then perhaps my forbidden technique didn't kill them..."

After hesitating for a moment, Bai unleashed Ice Release: Heavenly Snow Crystal Technique.

Bai Fei quickly formed hand seals, and chakra surged into the sky, causing the weather in the Land of Waves to change drastically.

The clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and heavy snowflakes began to fall.

The heavy snow falling on pedestrians' heads will automatically sense their chakra.

If it's chakra that Haku is familiar with, this heavy snow is just ordinary snow and won't cause any harm to people.

If it is unfamiliar chakra, then the snowflakes will quickly absorb the person's chakra, multiplying into a large amount of ice and snow, forming a monster to deal with the person.

Naruto and his two companions, disguised and infiltrating the Land of Waves, immediately realized that the snowfall at this time of year must be the result of their opponent's ninjutsu.

But by the time they tried to take action, the first snowflake had already landed on them.

In an instant, the snowflakes were like parasitic spores, frantically absorbing Sasuke and Sakura's chakra, multiplying from the size of sand grains to the size of millstones.

Sasuke and Sakura quickly shook the snow off their bodies.

The snowflakes fell to the ground and instantly transformed into a snow wolf, howling as it pounced.

The snow wolf wasn't very strong; Sasuke easily kicked it, sending it exploding back into a pile of snow.

However, as long as the Heavenly Snow Crystal Technique continues to operate and the heavy snow continues to fall, this snow wolf will never disappear.

The snow wolf, which had been kicked into snow powder, reabsorbed the surrounding snow and instantly became two again.

Sasuke used the same method to kick both snow wolves to pieces, and the snow wolves immediately turned into four.

A pack of howling snow wolves attacked three children on the streets of the Land of Waves, a scene that was immediately spotted by Haku, who was standing on high ground.

"They actually managed to infiltrate. These Konoha ninjas really didn't die."

Bai coldly stared at the three people surrounded by snow wolves and said unhappily, "You've managed to escape from my forbidden technique by sheer luck. You should know better than to leave now. Since you're so foolish as to want to investigate the situation in the Land of Waves, you brats can all stay here!"

Bai formed hand seals again, and the automatically operating Heavenly Snow Crystal Technique was switched to manual control.

The number of snow wolves attacking Sasuke and his companions suddenly surged to over a hundred. At the same time, the heavy snow falling from the sky quickly piled up, transforming into monsters like snowmen, snow tigers, and snow dragons, which then joined the attack.

With Bai's control, the snow-made monsters can do more than just ram their bodies and bite with their claws.

These snow wolves and snowmen also gained the ability to unleash ninjutsu, and various ice spikes, ice cones, and ice spears were wildly fired at Sasuke and his companions, greatly increasing their threat level.

The Heavenly Snow Crystal Technique is a forbidden technique developed by Bai that can destroy a small country.

The monsters of ice and snow are endless, and as long as the caster is not found, there is absolutely no way to stop this spell from working.

In the ocean of ice and snow monsters, even Jonin and Kage-level powerhouses would be overwhelmed by this endless army of monsters.

As time goes on, the strength of these ice monsters will continue to increase. Bai wants to see how the ninjas of Konoha will deal with his ninjutsu.

Chapter 360 The Infinitely Copying Rasengan

On the long street of the Land of Waves, a snow beast appeared and attacked Naruto and his two companions.

Upon seeing this, the people of the Land of Waves scattered in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the streets were deserted.

At this moment, besides Naruto and his two companions, there were only more than a thousand ice and snow monsters remaining on the hundred-meter-long street.

The strength of these ice and snow monsters increased with each defeat they suffered.

At first, the snow wolves could only bite them with their icy fangs, but now they can spit out ice storms and ice spike ninjutsu.

The original snowmen's ice shields and spears were only as hard as ordinary ice. Now, their ice shields and spears are a crystalline blue, and their hardness exceeds that of steel.

Sasuke unleashed a Fireball Jutsu, instantly melting the snowmen, but the shields and spears in their hands were only partially dissolved.

Attacking with the magnetic cannon, without accelerating the metal ball to an extremely high speed, wouldn't even be able to break the ice shields in the snowmen's hands.

Sasuke and Sakura are in danger; unlike Naruto, they don't have amazing recovery abilities.

Previously, in order to avoid the flying ice shards and to heal Kakashi, both of them had exhausted most of their chakra.

Having barely recovered some of its strength, it is now being rapidly absorbed by the snowflakes in the sky and besieged by ice and snow monsters on the ground due to the Heavenly Snow Crystal Technique, resulting in a significant depletion of its resources.

Without chakra, the two could only attack using taijutsu.

However, these ice and snow monsters are getting harder and harder, and their physical attacks are getting weaker and weaker. Sasuke could easily kick a snow wolf to pieces at first, but now when he kicks it, the snow wolf just rolls around a few times and gets back up.

The metal ball, moving at a speed comparable to a bullet, initially shattered the ice and snow monsters easily, but now it could only crack their surfaces.

It took a lot of effort to shatter these ice and snow monsters, but they would regenerate in the snow in the blink of an eye. They were endless and the effort was all for naught.

"Sasuke, Sakura, I'll deal with these monsters. You two find the caster's location."

Naruto shielded Sasuke and Sakura behind him and used the Shadow Clone Technique to create more than a thousand clones in an instant.

Each clone held a small Rasengan in its hand, shattering the ice and snow monsters one by one.
