Yukie Fujikaze woke up groggily on a wooden bed. "My head... it hurts..."

"Did I drink too much?"

She opened her eyes, feeling the world around her swaying.

Sandayu's voice came from the room: "Miss Yukie, are you awake?"

Yukie, pressing her temples: "Ah... Sandayu, could you get me some water?"

Sandayu quickly brought her a glass of water.

Yukie, still drowsy: "I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like my body is still shaking..."

Sandayu, avoiding eye contact: "That's... not your imagination."

Yukie, alarmed: "What?"

She looked up at Sandayu, who remained silent, staring at the floor.

A bad feeling crept into her heart.

Yukie jumped out of bed, rushed to the door, and flung it open.

The sky was clear, the sails were billowing in the wind, and the sound of waves crashing filled her ears.

She was... on a ship?

Yukie, in despair: "What's going on?!"

Sandayu, quietly: "..."

Meanwhile, Naruto was busy with his morning training. A long rope tied to the ship at one end and to his waist at the other, he was running across the water, dragging the ship behind him while swinging a hammer. Each strike created a depression in the water, the result of Naruto channeling chakra into the hammer.

By using the Water Walking Technique, he could simulate the sensation of striking solid ground, though the reaction force was slightly different. It didn't affect his training.

On the deck, fifty Naruto clones were intently practicing with water balloons—his attempt to master the Rasengan.

Better late than never.

Hinata, watching Naruto: "Is Naruto training again?"

Sasuke nodded.

He then found a quiet spot to practice his Shadow Clone Technique.

Hinata, inspired: "Naruto and Sasuke are working so hard. I can't fall behind!"

With renewed determination, Team 7 entered full training mode.

Kakashi, flipping through his book: "Ah, youth..."

But his gaze soon turned serious.

"Naruto's progress... it's astonishing. Using Shadow Clones for training... only someone with monstrous chakra reserves could pull that off."

"And those water balloons... what is he trying to do?"

Kakashi activated his Sharingan to observe the water balloons more closely.

The water inside rotated clockwise, unstable but clearly following Naruto's chakra flow.

Kakashi muttered: "Could it be...?"

Suddenly, one of the water balloons burst.

Naruto cheered: "Yes! I did it!"

The other clones immediately gathered around. "Don't keep it to yourself! Share your experience!"

The successful clone explained, and soon, more water balloons began to burst.

Kakashi's eye twitched: "This is cheating..."

Naruto, still hammering away on the water, paused after a strike.

Naruto: "The second stage is done already? My talent for shape transformation seems much better than nature transformation..."

The Rasengan training was divided into four stages:

Focusing chakra.

Stable, continuous output.

Increasing the speed of chakra convergence.

Compressing the chakra for maximum power.

Naruto: "Time for stage three..."

He instructed his clones to return to the deck, each grabbing a balloon and rotating it clockwise until it burst.

"Multiple Shadow Clones!"

Fifty Naruto clones reappeared, some dragging ropes, others tossing each other onto the deck. Soon, they were back at work.

Naruto's main body resumed hammering, continuing to temper his physique.

Kakashi watched intently.

Water balloons again?

But this time, progress was slower. Kakashi couldn't keep his Sharingan active for long—it was too draining. He returned to his book, though his mind lingered on Naruto's training.

On the other side of the deck, the film crew was busy setting up for a scene. Yukie, now in costume, was preparing to shoot.

The first day passed uneventfully.

Naruto spent every waking moment training, eating, and sleeping. Sasuke, inspired by Naruto's dedication, kept up his own practice. Even Hinata, though tempted to watch the filming, pushed herself to train harder.

I love training, really!

...Or so she told herself.

A week went by like this.

One morning, a massive iceberg appeared in the ship's path.

Crew member, panicking: "Director! We've got a problem!"

The director, still in pajamas, stumbled onto the deck.

Director, squinting: "What's going on?"

Crew member: "We woke up to find a huge iceberg blocking our way! If we want to continue, we'll have to change course."

Director, staring at the iceberg: "Wait... this is perfect!"

Crew member: "Huh?"

Director, excited: "This cliff... it's breathtaking! We can't let this opportunity slip away!"

He clenched his fists, growing more animated. "This is a gift from the film gods! Everyone, prepare to land!"

The crew scrambled into action, unloading equipment and setting up for the shoot.

Director: "Main crew first! Logistics, follow after!"

Actors were quickly prepped, and makeup artists worked their magic.

Finally, everything was ready.

Crew member: "Scene 36, Take 22, action!"

The actors began their lines.

Suddenly, an explosion rocked the iceberg, sending chunks of ice tumbling down.

Director, startled: "That wasn't in the script!"

Kakashi, stepping forward: "Everyone, fall back!"

As the smoke cleared, a figure emerged from the ice—a man in a white and blue ninja outfit.

Nadare Roga: "Welcome to the Land of Snow."
