Challenge the Strong

After a brief exchange, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas quickly led Konoha's exchange team back to Kirigakure.

Once inside Kirigakure, Obito could not help looking around curiously. This was not his first time visiting another Ninja Village, but it was his first time visiting one of the major Ninja Villages.

Perhaps for the sake of concealment, Kirigakure had been built deep in the mountains. Great mountains surrounded it on all sides, and the terrain was extremely complicated.

The residents of Kirigakure probably rarely leave the village. Otherwise, this would be exhausting, Obito complained inwardly.

Even he, a ninja, found the route rather winding, let alone ordinary people.

Still, even if the terrain had not been complicated, Kirigakure's residents probably would not have left the village often. Ninja Villages were, after all, essentially military bases.

Perhaps because Obito and the others had arrived after nightfall, he felt that Kirigakure was far less prosperous than Konoha.

It probably has something to do with the complicated terrain here too. Mu Yue-sensei said that good transportation is essential for economic development, Obito analyzed inwardly.

If he had been the owner of a merchant caravan, he would not have wanted to do business here either. Forget whether they could find the village—they would be exhausted just crossing all these mountains.

"Get a good rest here tonight. Don't wander around Kirigakure," Yuhi Shin Kurenai instructed after assigning the rooms.

Kirigakure certainly would not resort to dirty tricks. If they stabbed Konoha in the back at a time like this,
