After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

In the ninja world, everyone knows that the Fire Nation is very powerful and has a lot of limelight. No one dares to provoke it. This is a country with a large area, rich resources, and many helpers and friends. For a while, the Fire Nation became the focus of everyone's attention.

Just at this moment, he suddenly appeared and started to make trouble.

It messed up the small countries, making them like children without parents' love, feeling so aggrieved! At this time, the Fire Nation stood up, just like a big brother, covering up the small countries to confront, that's so hardcore! Calling on everyone to unite and deal with this bastard together. At this time, everyone felt that the Fire Nation was very considerate, and it was right to follow the Fire Nation. So, a group of brothers around the Fire Nation were ready to follow suit and form a powerful alliance force.

Now, everyone started to go to the daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire for secret talks, just like going to a market. In just half a month, you can see that the messengers who came one after another almost became a huge army. These people were busy interrupting and passing messages here. If this continues, a new melee will start.

Seeing such outrageous behavior, the Fire Nation became furious and cursed them for being shameless. It used some ruthless force to seize the small countries in its hands and stated that it would sign a military mutual assistance agreement with these small countries, asking them to restrain themselves and stop making trouble, so as to avoid another Ninja World War.

The Fire Nation's move immediately attracted the attention of the Wind Nation. Within a week after the Fire Nation spoke, the Wind Nation also jumped out to express its position, saying that they were of the same mind as the Fire Nation and hoped that the Ninja World would think carefully and stop making stupid moves, so that the Ninja World could quickly return to the track of peace.

Bai Ke was very busy these days. He had to stay in the office every day to deal with various documents. He had no time to go home, let alone go to the laboratory to make new things. Most of the documents he read were about how the two major powers, Fire and Wind, should deal with the problem of interfering with the regime of a small country.

After reading these documents, Bai thought to himself that this time he was in big trouble. The Fire Nation and the Wind Nation were looking for trouble and making a fuss internationally, but these were just empty words and baseless suspicions. But no matter what, these public opinions finally dealt a heavy blow. As a result, the diplomats from the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation are still staying in the city and refusing to leave. They are desperately urging for a clear response, and it is clear that they will not give up until they achieve their goal.

Bai thought, in this case, let the diplomatic department tell them that they will stick to the bottom line and will never make any compromises, so that they don't dream and seek their own death. Fortunately, the office finally became quiet. Bai drank the freshly brewed hot tea while quietly looking out the window. The cold wind whistled past, and the weather forecast said that this bad weather will continue for a while. It seems that this winter will be particularly cold. He sighed melancholy, "Oh, it seems that I won't be able to celebrate the New Year this year..." He thought so. He knew that as long as he continued to make such a fuss, the situation in the ninja world would never be calm.

On that day, December 12, the village of Konoha was buried in the snow. The whole village was covered in snow. You see, the snow was as thick as a city wall. The children in the village were having so much fun! The adults also took this opportunity to play mahjong and roast sweet potatoes. It was so lively. The ninjas didn't have to worry too much. They wore specially customized warm clothes and scarves, just like the uncles in Northeast China, and were not afraid of the cold.

At this moment, Tsunade was standing on the roof of the Hokage Building, watching everything in the village. She was not wearing much, just a vest over her short-sleeved shirt, and she didn't care about the snow outside. She couldn't help but sigh, thinking: "Oh, how long should I endure this?"

She remembered what her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, told her when she was a child: "A ninja is someone who can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure." But now, she felt that this sentence was a little wrong. She thought: "Do we ninjas exist just to endure?"

She looked at the Hokage Building in front of her, feeling somewhat confused. She thought: "Do I really understand what Grandpa means? Do I really understand the meaning of being a ninja?"

Just then, she heard footsteps and turned around to see that it was the two advisors, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En. They held a letter in their hands and said to Tsunade, "Tsunade, there's a letter from the Daimyo, asking us to prepare quickly."

Tsunade nodded and thought to herself, "Looks like I'll have to keep enduring this."

She looked at the snowy scene in the distance and vowed to herself: "I will persist until I find the answer."

In an ordinary winter, a heavy snowfall fell on Konoha Village, making the once bustling village quiet and deserted. People were busy clearing the snow, fearing that they would slip and fall. Sakura was one of them.

Xiaoying is a little girl who loves reading. She likes to find interesting stories in the library. On this day, she decided not to practice, but to go to the library to read books. She put on a thick down jacket, put on a scarf, wrapped herself tightly, and then walked out of the house.

As Sakura walked, she admired the scenery along the road. She saw that some store employees had already started shoveling snow. They wore thick cotton jackets and scarves around their necks. They stopped from time to time to wipe their sweat and then continued to work. Sakura thought to herself, "These uncles and aunts are really hard-working!"

Sakura arrived at the entrance of the library and found that many people had gathered there. Everyone was queuing up to enter the library. Sakura waited in line for a while, and finally it was her turn to go in.

Sakura walked into the library and found it very quiet, with only the sound of turning pages and occasional coughing. She walked to her favorite bookshelf, took out a book, found a seat, and began to read seriously.

Suddenly, Sakura heard a laugh coming from the corner. She turned her head curiously and found that it was Sai. Sai was holding a book and laughing. It seemed that he was reading a very funny joke. Seeing Sai, Sakura remembered the time when she played with him in the past, and couldn't help but ask him with a smile: "Brother Sai, what are you reading? Share it with me!"

When Sai heard what Sakura said, he looked up and replied with a smile, "Nothing, just taking a look." The curve at the corners of his mouth didn't seem sincere.

Sakura didn't think much about it and turned around to continue reading. The two of them sat quietly in the corner, enjoying this rare tranquility. After a while, Sakura stood up, put on her schoolbag, and prepared to go home.

She looked back at Sai and found that he was still sitting there, holding a book with a faint smile on his face. Sakura thought to herself: "Brother Sai, you still like reading so much!"

Sakura walked out of the library and looked back at the familiar building, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She knew that in this cold winter, with the company of the library, she no longer felt lonely.
