Though this vast, boundless desert appeared to have no end in sight, which was already despairing enough, what was even worse was that many obstacles had been set up within it.
This greatly increased the difficulty of crossing the desert, and it was precisely why this desert was especially famous throughout this land.
Uchiha Hiko had roughly learned about this desert before, but he had never experienced it firsthand. Thus, he had no foolproof plan in mind, but he still wanted to carve out a path through it and take a chance.
