Land of Waves, this is a small island located in the eastern sea of Land of Fire, adjacent to Land of Fire and east chain Land of the Sea, and is shrouded in humid sea fog all year round.
During the Third Shinobi World War period, Land of Waves was also one of the battlefields where Konoha and Kirigakure fought.
Although the war is over now, the sores left by the smoke have not yet healed, and this small island country has still not returned to the peace and stability it enjoyed before the war.
Instead, it became even more chaotic due to factors such as various pirates, bandits, wandering samurai, and traitorous ninjas.
This also created the conditions for Gato Company to monopolize the trade of Land of Waves a few years later.
Land of Waves On the seaside, black robes billowed with the sea breeze. Menma, wearing White Three-Eyed Fox Mask, was walking along the coast of Land of Waves. There was a small city in front of him, but he did not go to the city, but stood on the beach and looked at the strait.
From here, you can even vaguely see the outline of the continent on the opposite side through the sea fog.
Eight years from now, Team 7 will encounter Zabuza and Bai here, have a fierce battle, and build a cross-sea Great Bridge Naruto Bridge.
"So, the technology tree is really weird. This country is obviously still in the feudal era, but it can build Great Bridge that spans more than ten kilometers." Menma complained.
In Mind's Eye of the Kagura, a familiar chakra is gradually approaching.
The sound of clogs treading on the sand could be heard in the mist.
The white Three-Eyed Fox Mask turned his head slightly, and a figure was walking slowly towards him.
"You've been waiting for a long time." Orochimaru, dressed as a lady, came slowly, her golden vertical pupils shining behind her long, messy hair.
It's a bit dangerous to go to Kirigakure, and she didn't bring any subordinates with her. The fewer people there are, the smaller the risk of exposure, and it will be easier to escape.
"That ship is going to Land of Water." Menma raised his head and motioned to Orochimaru to look at a sea ship docked at the port of that small coastal city.
Orochimaru Looking along, a flag of Gato Company on the sea ship was looming in the mist.
The two of them showed off their abilities. Orochimaru used illusions to control the crew on the ship, successfully boarded the ship as a noble, and even got a nice room.
Menma jumped directly onto the ship and joined Orochimaru.
After two days of twists and turns, the ship gradually approached the coast of Land of Water.
The sudden collision of ninjutsu in the fog caused the passengers on the boat to stick to the side of the boat and look at the sea in the fog.
Several figures fighting together were talking a lot.
When Menma and Orochimaru walked out of the cabin, they happened to hear these ordinary people discussing.
"It looks like a ninja, right?"
"How many times has this happened this month?"
"I have been to Land of Water five times and have seen this kind of thing three times."
"PetPet, just don't harm us ordinary people."
Orochimaru stared at the figures fighting on the sea in the fog, his vertical golden pupils glowing slightly. "It seems that Kirigakure's situation is worse than we imagined, and defections are happening one after another."
He glanced sideways at the silent Asura, but only saw Fox Mask reflecting the gray sky, which made Orochimaru feel a little uninterested.
After the ship docked, the two disappeared among the noisy people.
"After the last war, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of Kirigakure has not been replenished. It is said that some people defected with Ninja Blade, so what we need to pay attention to is Kekkei Genkai 0 in Kirigakure Just the Anbu of the family and Mizukage." The two walked in the direction of Kirigakure, and Orochimaru explained the current situation of Kirigakure.
"So, should we act together or separately?" Orochimaru lifted up his long hair and looked at Asura with a pair of golden vertical pupils.
At this time, Menma was using Mind's Eye of the Kagura to sense the chakra within a radius of one hundred kilometers.
He vaguely remembered that Bai was not born Kirigakure, but was born in a small village where it snowed all year round. Because his mother was Yuki Clan, he awakened Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, but was regarded as unlucky by his father and the villagers.
His father even organized the villagers to surround and kill Bai's mother, and when he was about to beat the young Bai to death as well, the frightened Bai launched Ice Release and killed everyone.
From then on, Bai became an orphan, living in the streets of Land of Water.
Menma guessed that Bai's whereabouts should be in the southwest of Land of Water.
Because after Zabuza defected, it was impossible to stay in Land of Water for too long, and Anbu of Mizukage was not a vegetarian. If he wanted to escape Anbu's pursuit, Zabuza had to leave Land of Water.
Then Zabuza probably encountered Bai when he went to sea from the southeast of Land of Water.
Following Mind's Eye of the Kagura's large-scale radar-like search and exploration, Menma finally discovered a faint chakra with a chilling feel in a city not far away.
"I found something good, are you interested in going and taking a look?" After Menma finished speaking, Body Flicker Technique jumped onto the big tree, ignoring whether Orochimaru could keep up, and jumped into the forest at a faster speed.
"Something interesting?" Orochimaru naturally became interested and followed.
Land of Water In a certain city, it was snowing heavily.
A dirty little boy was rummaging through the trash for food.
His thin clothes and bare feet were incompatible with the snowy weather,
Suddenly, three wild dogs appeared next to him, barking at him, as if declaring that this was their territory.
The little boy raised his right hand expressionlessly, condensed an ice pick in his palm, and shot it at the wild dog.
Poof, the wild dog boss was directly shot in the head, and his blood and brains were flowing on the snow.
The other two wild dogs screamed and ran for their lives with their tails between their legs.
The little boy picked up half a piece of stiff bread and gnawed it.
Suddenly, he saw a figure falling on the snow in front of him.
The little boy raised his head and saw a mysterious man with Fox Mask extending his hand towards him.
The little boy squatting on the ground stood up and stared blankly at the mysterious man in front of him. For some reason, he slowly walked over as if he was feeling something.
"What's your name?" came the question from behind the mask.
"Bai." The little boy raised his head, his expression a little dull.
Menma raised his hand and touched Bai's dirty short hair.
"From now on, just follow me." Menma took Bai's hand and walked to the hotel in this small town.
"Pep spray." Orochimaru came next and landed next to the garbage heap just now. Looking at the ice pick that had not dissipated on the body of the wild dog whose head was shot on the ground, his vertical snake eyes were full of envy.
"Did you find a Ice Release child when you came here?" Orochimaru watched the two figures, one large and one small, walking away.
It seems that it is right to bring Asura to Kirigakure. The "future information" he has mastered must know which Kekkei Genkai Kirigakure can abduct, which young geniuses!
However, since the other party is interested in Kekkei Genkai, he cannot abduct him. He has to find a way to get some other children with Kekkei Genkai.
