As he reviewed the dense array of abilities and techniques, Furen eventually located what he was looking for:

Funds: 20 million ryo (withdrawable), Land of Snow Income: 500 million ryo (increasing)

"Five hundred million ryo already…" Furen thought. If he used it all to buy explosive tags at the current rate of five thousand ryo per tag, he could acquire a hundred thousand tags—enough for a small-scale war.

"Perhaps I could boost Tsunade's favorability using explosive tags?" he mused. Then an even better idea came to him, and he glanced over at his skill pool, specifically at two abilities he hadn't utilized in some time: Ice Senbon (craftable) and Ice Release Explosion Tags (craftable).

With his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, he could produce Ice Release Explosion Tags and Ice Senbon, which were even more potent than ordinary explosive tags and had superior piercing capabilities.

"If I could mass-produce Ice Release Explosion Tags and Ice Senbon, Konoha would greatly benefit." Furen stroked his chin thoughtfully. Producing these items required the Ice Release bloodline, and as far as he knew, the only others with it were his close allies from the Land of Snow, Haku and Koyuki.

Currently, the Land of Snow was effectively under his control. If he dedicated the resources there to mass-producing Ice Release Explosion Tags and Ice Senbon, he could feasibly create a large supply. Moreover, the chakra armor technology left behind by Dotō Kazahana could significantly enhance the strength of his ninjas, which could become invaluable assets for him.

"It's time for a trip to the Land of Snow," Furen decided, a glint of anticipation in his eyes as he thought about reuniting with Haku and Koyuki. "But first, let's see how Tsunade reacts to this."

With that objective in mind, Furen returned to the village with Tenten and the other special jonin, completing the D-rank mission without any issues.

In the Hokage's office, after handing over the mission report and verifying the supplies, Tenten and the other special jonin left. Furen, however, stayed behind.

"Is there something else, Furen?" Tsunade asked, glancing up from the village's latest intelligence report.

"Lady Tsunade, I wanted to show you this," Furen said, stepping forward. From his pouch, he placed a kunai with an explosive tag attached on the table, followed by another kunai with a small, blue sphere attached at the end.

"What's this?" Tsunade and Shizune leaned in, their curiosity piqued by the unusual kunai.

"This is an Ice Release Explosion Tag Kunai," Furen explained. "It operates similarly to a regular explosive tag kunai…"

As he spoke, he took out another Ice Release Kunai and tossed it to the floor. The moment it hit the ground, the small blue orb on the kunai glowed briefly before producing a faint cracking sound, and the temperature in the room dropped. A four-meter-wide spread of delicate ice flowers bloomed on the floor, glistening under the light.

"The Ice Release Explosion Tag Kunai is quieter and can be useful for stealth operations," Furen continued. He then picked up the kunai with the standard explosive tag and threw it. With a loud "boom!" the tag detonated on the bed of ice flowers, shattering a small section while the rest remained, gleaming coldly.

"The Ice Release tags are highly effective, and in some situations, they even outperform regular explosive tags," Furen said, looking back at Tsunade and Shizune, who were both watching the display with astonishment.

Seeing their interest, Furen added, "I have the means to produce a large quantity of these Ice Release Explosion Tags."

Hearing this, Tsunade's and Shizune's eyes lit up with excitement, clearly intrigued by the potential of Furen's Ice Release arsenal.
