On the icy plains along the coast of the Land of Snow, the battlefield between the Cloud Ninja and the Snow Ninja had fallen completely silent. It was nearly nighttime, and the cold wind howled like a mournful lament. Coupled with the scattered severed fingers and frozen dark red blood, the scene was eerily cold and sinister.

Hiashi Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, and Izumi Uchiha stood side by side, facing the battered and mangled body of Raikage A.

Ai was covered in horrifying wounds, blood splattering and freezing on his one-armed, one-eyed body. His body was completely stiff, facing Hiashi and the others, but in his last moments, his head was turned toward the direction the Cloud Ninja had retreated, his remaining eye still glaring fiercely.

"Phew, I must say, this is truly a brave man!"

Despite harboring deep hatred for the Cloud Ninja, after their battle, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for the heroic Raikage A, who risked his life to cover the Cloud Ninja's retreat.

However, some of the Snow Ninjas who had their relatives and friends killed by Ai did not agree, and one of them, who was quite agitated, spoke up directly.

"He's a criminal who invaded the Snow Village and killed many of our people. I think we should just cut him up and feed him to the dogs!"

"Enough!" Fighting on the battlefield is one thing, but wantonly destroying an opponent's body afterward is quite another!

Uchiha Izumi, as the highest-ranking commander on the front lines, decisively interrupted the snow ninja's speech.

"Lord Yukage possesses an awe-inspiring presence and looks down upon the world. Even an opponent would not humiliate someone like this. The actions you described are not only an insult to the Cloud Ninja, but an insult to the Snow Ninja Village!"

In any case, a hero's body should not be treated like this after death!

While it's normal for the bodies of dead ninjas to be used for experiments and research on secret techniques, the other party is, after all, the Kage of a village, and this is something only Lord Yukage can decide.

First, clean up the battlefield, tally the casualties, and then redeploy defenses!

Under Izumi Uchiha's suppression, the restless Snow Ninja quieted down. Under the leadership of Hiashi Hyuga and his men, the Snow Ninja carried out their respective tasks, and the battlefield was quickly cleaned up.

They dug a deep pit on the ice field a little further away to bury the corpses of the ordinary Cloud Ninjas. Izumi and the others led their team back to the camp to start summarizing the battle losses and gains.

How many Cloud Ninja escaped during this battle?

Izumi asked this question as soon as she opened her mouth. She was a little worried about the Cloud Village's subsequent offensive, after all, the Snow Village was too small compared to the Cloud Village.

"About 50 people jumped into the sea. The coast of the Snow Country is so cold that their chances of survival are probably not high without supplies from ships."

Uchiha Jie answered hesitantly.

Strangely enough, even though the battle was over, he could still see terrifying killing intent in Sister Quan's eyes from time to time.

Uchiha couldn't help but wonder if the Mangekyou Sharingan was truly a cursed eye, turning into a bloodthirsty madman once it began to kill.

Rinko added from the side, "The Cloud Ninja cleared a path with explosive tags, making them difficult to stop. By the time the crossbowmen arrived at the beach to scout and pursue them, some Cloud Ninja had already fled far away. Of course, they still managed to shoot and kill some of them."

As for the ships of the Cloud Village, they had all been captured, leaving only some shipwrights and other technical personnel on board.

"Yes, we found some seriously injured and unconscious Cloud Ninja while cleaning up the battlefield just now, about 30 of them. Their injuries are very serious, and if they are left unattended, they may not survive for a day or two."

Hyuga Osamu added.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hyuga Takashi couldn't wait to chime in, "What's the point of keeping prisoners like this? Just send them away and bury them together. Are we going to waste the medical resources of Yukigami Village on them?"

"Devils, you bunch of devils!"

Samui, who was being held captive and prepared to be offered to Hyuga Kaze, was unable to move and had only barely regained the ability to speak. She had already heard about the tragic casualties in Kumogakure from inside the tent, and her eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, upon hearing Hyuga Gang's cold words, she couldn't help but scream out.

Samui's intense anger caused her to gasp for breath, which caused her extremely full breasts to heave rapidly. All the men present couldn't help but turn their heads away when they saw this!

This is a forbidden gift intended for Lord Yukage.

"Cough cough cough"

Uchiha Izumi stared intently at Samui's fair and high breasts for a long time before barely managing to look away.

"The killing after the battle is pointless. These wounded soldiers, along with the bodies of Samui and Raikage Ai, should be taken back to Lord Yukage for disposal."

Seeing that no one objected, Izumi continued, "Although we defeated the invasion of Kumogakure, we cannot be arrogant or careless. Konoha and those shady black market hunters may still make moves."

Hyuga Shu, you continue leading the reconnaissance work to prevent attacks from other ninja villages. Shisui, you and Lord Hiashi stay at the front-line camp. I'll take the wounded and prisoners back to the village to report.

......

"Lord Yukage, the Cloud Ninja invasion has been annihilated, and the Fourth Hokage, Reie, has fallen in battle. In this battle, our side killed..."

Inside the Snow Shadow Village office, Izumi looked at Hinata Kaze with awe, closeness, and longing, and respectfully reported on the battle situation.

"None of that matters. But Izumi, you look exhausted. You must have used the Mangekyou Sharingan. Are you injured?"

Hinata Kaze didn't let Izumi remain kneeling on one knee while reporting. Taking advantage of the moment when Izumi looked up to report, Hinata Kaze got up from his chair, came to Izumi's side, pulled her up, and looked her up and down carefully, like a caring leader looking after his female subordinate.

Behind Hyuga Kaze, Uchiha Mikoto rolled her eyes helplessly, her face full of a half-smile.

"Quan is alright, thank you for your concern, Xueying-sama."

Hyuga Kaze was so close, and his tall stature meant that he practically pulled Uchiha Izumi into his arms while he was looking her over. Under the influence of Hyuga Kaze's scorching aura, Uchiha Izumi's body went limp and she collapsed into his arms, completely losing the dashing and heroic figure she had shown when she fought the Fourth Raikage, A.

"How can you say you're fine? Look how tired you are. The Mangekyou Sharingan has taken a heavy toll on you."

Hinata Kaze wrapped his left arm around Uchiha Izumi's slender waist, while his right hand lovingly caressed the corner of her eye.

Feeling the warm embrace and caring touch of Lord Yukage, Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but secretly shrink back, snuggling even closer into Hyuga Kaze's arms.

Quan's pretty face turned bright red, and she felt like her head was about to explode.

"Your eyes must be hurting and uncomfortable. Don't worry, I have a way to restore your pupil's power."

"Quan, you have rendered outstanding service in commanding the battle on the front lines and deserve a reward. What reward would you like?"

Izumi quickly looked up at Hinata Kaze, then lowered her head shyly.

"If Lord Yukage wishes to receive a reward, I would like to change my name to Hyuga Izumi!"
