His eyes were calm and unwavering, as if he were watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.
Boruto, on the other hand, seemed unfazed and whispered to Naruto, "We have plenty of big stars like that over there too, and many of them like to act like divas."
Perhaps it's clear that making a scene won't help.
Perhaps the sea breeze calmed her down a bit.
Feng Xuehui finally stormed back to the cabin and slammed the door shut.
For the remainder of the voyage, she locked herself in her room and refused to communicate with anyone.
Food and water were delivered to the door by staff.
A few days later, one afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.
Director Kafka was looking at the script when his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the sea, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
A massive, crystal-clear iceberg, as blue as a sapphire, suddenly appeared on the vast sea in front of us!
The iceberg reflects a dazzling light under the sun, its sharp edges and imposing presence exuding an eternal chill.
Large and small ice floes float on the sea, and ships carefully navigate among them.
"This is it! It's perfect!"
Director Kafka was so excited that he gestured wildly, pointing to the huge iceberg: "The scene in the script where Princess Wind and Cloud comprehends the ultimate secret on the 'Desperate Ice Cliff'!"
"That's the feeling! Vastness! Solitude! A glimmer of hope in despair! Quick! Get the equipment ready! We're filming right here! Don't miss this opportunity!"
Chapter 144 The Diva Actress
The film crew immediately sprang into action.
Small landing craft were lowered.
The photography equipment, lighting equipment, actors' costumes and props were carefully transported to a relatively flat ice platform at the foot of the iceberg.
The snow scene depicting Fuji was also "invited" out by the staff, who were half-asleep and half-persuaded.
When she put on that magnificent and elaborate Princess Fengyun armor, holding the prop longsword, and stood on that crystal-clear, chilling ice mountain.
His entire demeanor changed abruptly!
All the willfulness, irritability, and impatience from before vanished.
Long black hair fluttered wildly in the cold wind, and armor gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.
Her eyes became incredibly resolute and profound, as if they bore witness to the rise and fall of the entire kingdom.
It carries a tragic and resolute feeling of breaking free from adversity and being reborn.
She gazed at the rolling sea of clouds and floating ice in the distance, slowly raising her longsword, its tip pointing straight to the sky.
"Father...your people..."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it had a peculiar penetrating quality, echoing clearly in the frigid air.
It was filled with heaviness, sorrow, and an unyielding belief: "Even if the land is frozen solid, even if hope is slim... I, Princess Fengyun, hereby swear! I will dispel the gloom that shrouds the kingdom! With my sword, I will cut through this despairing winter! Light will surely return!"
Her performance was incredibly captivating; every glance and every subtle movement precisely conveyed the character's inner world.
The biting wind seemed to accentuate her presence, howling and whipping up her cloak, adding to the tragic grandeur of a lone hero.
The three members of Class 7, who were watching the filming from a makeshift shelter at the foot of the iceberg, were completely stunned.
Naruto's mouth dropped open, his blue eyes filled with pure shock: "Wow... Wow... So amazing! She's a completely different person! She really feels like that princess who carries the fate of the nation on her shoulders!"
Sakura also forgot her previous dissatisfaction with Fuukie, and her emerald green eyes sparkled with amazement: "Is this real acting? She's completely immersed in the role... It's so captivating! No wonder the director is so tolerant of her."
Even the usually aloof young Sasuke had a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of appreciation in his dark eyes.
This ability to instantly get into character and control the emotions of the entire scene is truly extraordinary.
Director Kafka excitedly called for a stop, his voice trembling: "Perfect! Absolutely perfect! Miss Kazeki Emi! You were born for Princess Kazeki! That last take will definitely become a classic!"
Filming was paused, and staff quickly came forward to drape thick, warm coats over the actors and offer them hot drinks.
In an instant, Feng Xuehui transformed from that tragic princess back into reality.
She impatiently pushed away the hot cocoa offered by a staff member, frowning and complaining, "The camera angle just now wasn't good enough! Also, this ice platform is too slippery, I almost fell! What was the props team doing? And this wind, it messed up my hair, affecting the picture quality! Reshoot! It has to be reshot!"
She bossed around the director and crew, her face reverting to that infuriatingly arrogant expression.
The three members of Class 7, who were just immersed in the shock of the acting, instantly froze their admiration and then turned into speechless numbness.
Naruto's lips twitched as he nudged Boruto beside him with his elbow, quietly repeating his sentiment from a few days ago: "Hey, Boruto, I still think... how come this kind of person hasn't been beaten to death?"
Boruto nodded in agreement, making a "I want to know too" expression.
The adult Sasuke still leaned against the shadows in the corner of the shelter, as if isolated from everything around him.
The filming was carried out intermittently in the snow and ice due to Feng Xuehui's pickiness and demanding nature.
Time passed slowly, and the chill on the iceberg seemed to intensify, even the breath exhaled seemed to carry ice shards.
As the sun set, it cast a poignant, blood-red glow over the massive iceberg.
Just as the crew was preparing to film the final, crucial shot, Feng Xuehui, gathering her emotions, raised her longsword once more, ready to utter that stirring line—
"call--!!!"
A gust of cold wind, ten times more frigid than before and with a piercing, metallic whistling sound, suddenly rose from nowhere!
The wind was extremely strange, not formed naturally, and carried intense chakra fluctuations and a chilling killing intent!
The wind instantly caused the camera equipment on the ice rink to tip over and the lights to shake violently.
Feng Xuehui was so startled by the sudden gust of wind that she almost fell, and her carefully cultivated emotions instantly crumbled!
Kakashi instantly became alert; his exposed black eye, sharp as a knife, locked onto the direction from which the cold wind was coming—
Higher up on the iceberg, on a steep ice cliff!
The three members of Team 7 immediately went into battle mode. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura stood back to back, looking warily at the ice cliff!
The adult Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the chaotic air currents, precisely locking onto the three figures on the ice cliff.
Boruto immediately stood next to Naruto.
Three figures appeared on the icy cliff at some unknown time.
The leader was a tall and burly man, wearing a dark blue combat suit with a thick fur collar, typical of the Snow Country.
He wore a pair of oddly shaped goggles with lenses that shimmered with a ghostly blue light, covering most of his face except for a chin with a cruel smile.
He carried an exaggerated weapon that resembled a giant ice diamond, and his body emanated a heavy and cold chakra pressure like an iceberg—Wolf Fang Avalanche!
To his left was a tall, slender woman, also wearing a dark blue combat uniform.
Her long pink hair danced wildly in the cold wind, and her face was covered by a cold metal mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold light.
She crossed her arms, her fingertips swirling with a visible, icy blue aura—Crane Wing Snowfall!
On the right is an unusually obese and muscular man, wearing a bulky white winter coat, looking just like a giant polar bear.
He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, his face completely expressionless, as if everyone else didn't exist.
The enormous fists collided with each other, producing a dull "thump-thump" sound, as if containing a tremendous force capable of crushing everything—Winter Bear Frozen Rain!
The three men looked down at their prey like predators, their cold and malicious gazes sweeping over the chaotic film crew and the prepared Class 7 below.
The Wolf Fang Avalanche's undisguised mockery and killing intent echoed clearly in the frigid air:
"They're making quite a scene, aren't they, actors? But..."
The massive ice drill weapon on his shoulder suddenly stopped, slamming heavily onto the ice beneath his feet with a dull thud, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread out!
"It's time to change the lead actress in this play! The Snow Kingdom doesn't need any 'Wind and Cloud Princess,' it just needs... an obedient and well-behaved Wind Flower Snow!"
A chilling killing intent, like a tangible cold wave, instantly swept across the entire iceberg platform! The air seemed to freeze!
The war is about to break out!
Chapter 145 The Snow Ninja's Easiest Strike
The Wolf Fang Avalanche was a raging storm carrying icy chakra and killing intent.
It not only scattered the film crew's equipment, but also acted like an invisible war drum, instantly igniting the flames of war!
"Separate them!"
The Wolf Fang Avalanche's chilling command was like an icicle piercing the air!
Crane Wing Snow and Winter Bear Freezing Rain beside him instantly transformed into two blurry blue and white light and shadow.
One from the left and one from the right, like arrows released from a bow, carrying a chilling aura, they pounced down towards the Seventh Platoon, who were waiting in full battle array below!
Kakashi's voice still carried a hint of languor, but his eyes were now sharp as knives.
As he spoke, he had already stood near Feng Xuehui, an invisible aura firmly locking onto the battlefield, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
The three members of Class 7 need no further explanation; their tacit understanding is self-evident!
Instead of retreating, the three advanced when faced with the snow ninja charging towards them!
"Leave that ice-cold guy to me!"
Naruto let out a low roar, his blue eyes instantly igniting with fighting spirit.
With a stomp of his foot, ice shards exploded.
He was like a golden cannonball, charging straight up at Wolf Fang Avalanche, whose aura was the most violent and heavy among the three!
"Don't make me come to your rescue later!"
Young Sasuke snorted coldly, a flash of cold light in his black eyes, and lightning crackling around his body.
In an instant, his body slid to the side like a ghost, precisely intercepting the slender figure radiating icy coldness on his left—Crane Wing Snow!
"Be careful, you two!"
Sakura let out a sharp shout, her short pink hair fluttering in the cold wind, and her emerald green eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit!
Instead of dodging, she stepped on the ice, creating fine cracks.
