After passing through the lush forests of the Land of Fire, the world before him opened up.
An endless green expanse stretched beneath a clear, bright sky dotted with a few fluffy white clouds.
Rinto, carrying a backpack as large as himself, stepped into the wilderness.
"Land of Hot Water! I'm back again!"
Whenever he thought of the Land of Hot Water, he thought of Amegakure, which had committed its atrocities here.
Now, he no longer had any Bonds with Amegakure. All that remained was hatred without end.
A week had passed since Rinto set out.
A few days earlier, Earth Dog, who had been assigned to keep in touch with Rinto, told him that Mizuguma's body had been secretly transported from Amegakure to Konoha and buried in the Konoha Civilian Cemetery west of the village.
Though he had not been buried in the ninja cemetery, that was already exceptionally generous treatment for a ninja from another village.
And now that there was a body, Impure World Reincarnation! Rinne Rebirth! Everything could be arranged! With the crazy technology of the Naruto world, anything was possible!
"Next up is my business~"
Rinto was no stranger to infiltration. After all, he had successfully infiltrated Konoha before.
But this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi's request was different from Hanzo of the Salamander's.
Knowing what Rinto was capable of, Hiruzen Sarutobi had assigned him a more challenging task.
Not only did he have to infiltrate Kumogakure successfully, he also had to spend three years working his way into Kumogakure's upper ranks and gathering intelligence.
Honestly, it was asking a bit much.
But Rinto did not care about that in the slightest. He was like a kite—once released, there was no reeling him back in.
What would he do once he reached Kumogakure? Whatever made him happy,
