In a remote corner of the ninja world, Ichiraku Otsutsuki sat with closed eyes, performing a mysterious soul-exploring eye technique. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and muttered, "Found it... It's there! I need to tell Sasuke."

**Daytime**
Sasuke was eating at home when he felt Ichiraku Otsutsuki calling him. In an instant, Sasuke disappeared from his spot and reappeared before Ichiraku.
"Are you looking for me? Did you find it, Ichiraku?" Sasuke asked.
Ichiraku narrowed his eyes and said, "Hahaha, Sasuke, I found the dimensional coordinates of the Extreme Cold Star. It's currently 10 million kilometers from the Ninja World and will stay that way for about half a month."
Sasuke's eyes were determined. "Thank you, I'll leave immediately!"
He understood the importance of this opportunity. The "Extreme Cold Fairy Stone" could bring him unexpected power. Sasuke embarked on the journey to the Extreme Cold Star alone. After a long flight, he reached a dimensional crack and, using his full-body Susanoo, crossed into the mysterious and cold planet.
As soon as he arrived, the biting cold struck him, feeling like it could freeze his soul.
"It's so cold!" Sasuke quickly activated the Flame Release Susanoo, the flames wrapping around him, barely maintaining his body temperature.
"It's not going to be easy to find the legendary Extreme Cold Fairy Stone here," he muttered. "But it's a mysterious holy place, so that's expected."
The Extreme Cold Fairy Stone was a holy relic passed down by the cold elves, the indigenous people of this planet. It possessed great power, though Sasuke only knew that the stone existed on this planet.
Before Sasuke could adapt to the cold, a group of cold elves surrounded him. They were similar in size to Sasuke, with snow-white skin, ice pendants, and colorful hair. They wore elegant blue, white, and black clothing, and their presence exuded a cold aura.
"Outsider, this is not a place you can enter freely!" the lead cold elf shouted.
Sasuke quickly explained, "I'm here to find the Extreme Cold Fairy Stone. I have no intention of being your enemy."
However, the cold elves didn't listen and launched an attack. They used ice and wind-style ninjutsu, sending countless ice spikes and sharp cold winds at Sasuke.
The lead elf, named Han Xin, shouted, "Looking for the fairy stone? Kill him!"
Sasuke activated his Flame Release Susanoo to defend, the flames clashing with the ice spikes, creating loud noises. But the cold elves' attacks were relentless and numerous.
Realizing he couldn't just defend, Sasuke used Lightning Release, transforming into a flash of lightning and charging at the cold elves. The clash of lightning and ice created a powerful impact.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Flash Impact!"
"Kill the invader!" the cold elves shouted.
Seeing Sasuke's resistance, the cold elves changed tactics, surrounding him from different directions. Sasuke countered their attacks while looking for an opening. He used various ninjutsu, but the cold elves' nimble movements and strong ice-style ninjutsu kept countering him.
Sasuke felt his chakra draining faster than usual. "Why does my chakra feel like it's depleting so quickly here? I can't keep this up!" he thought.
The planet had a unique defense mechanism; using chakra here consumed much more than usual. Only chakra derived from the planet's special energy, akin to senjutsu, worked efficiently. Most ninjas would be drained immediately upon arrival; only someone like Sasuke could sustain themselves here.
Aware of his dwindling chakra, Sasuke knew he needed a quick resolution. He focused, maximizing the power of his Flame Release Susanoo. The flames intensified, forming a powerful shield.
"Flame Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" Sasuke roared, unleashing a wave of hot flames toward the cold elves. They quickly used ice-style techniques to create a massive ice wall, but the intense heat began melting it rapidly.
Taking advantage of the melting ice, Sasuke dashed into the cold elves' camp like a ghost. With a flash of his Kusanagi sword, he struck down several elves.
Despite this, the cold elves didn't retreat. They launched a more frenzied attack. Han Xin summoned a strong cold wind mixed with sharp ice blades.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "Susanoo Yasaka Magatama!" He launched shining magatama that collided with the ice blades, causing a series of explosions.
The battle grew more intense, and Sasuke's physical and chakra reserves dwindled. Yet, he fought on, driven by his desire to find the Extreme Cold Fairy Stone.
Suddenly, a roar echoed in the sky, and a huge icicle fell towards Sasuke. He dodged but was still hit by the residual force, sending him crashing to the ground, blood trickling from his mouth.
"Damn it!" Sasuke gritted his teeth, struggling to stand.
The cold elves surrounded him again, their eyes full of murderous intent.
"Outsider, you will die today!" Han Xin declared coldly.
Sasuke sneered, "It's not that easy to kill me!"
He formed seals, mustering the last of his strength for a powerful jutsu.
"Fairy Art: Kirin!" Sasuke shouted.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and a massive Kirin-shaped lightning bolt descended, crashing into the cold elves with devastating force. The cold elves, stunned by the sight, tried to escape, but it was too late. The Kirin lightning engulfed them, leaving a massive crater in the ground.
However, the effort left Sasuke drained, and he collapsed. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a mysterious voice whispered in his ear.
"Young man, I admire your courage and perseverance. But you cannot find the Extreme Cold Fairy Stone this way."
