Strange buildings, strange people

An unknown area outside the Shinobi World map.

"Second Hokage! There's someone in the northwest!"

One of the Ninja, who was rapidly traversing the treacherous mountain peaks, suddenly spoke.

"Stop!"

At Tobirama Senju's command, the four Ninja around him immediately stopped in their tracks.

The forehead protectors on their foreheads have the word "nin" on them, and there are ninjas from Sunagakure Village and ninjas from Konoha.

Immediately afterwards, Tobirama Senju also probed the northwest direction with his senses.

"A dozen or so people... that's quite a lot! It must be a small village."

"Let's go take a look."

"Yes!"

Tobirama Senju, accompanied by four Ninja, rapidly advanced towards the northwest.

At the same time, he made a call using the Headset in his ear.

"Calling Team One, calling Team One."

"I heard you, Tobirama. What's wrong? Have you found any trace of the Kara Organization?"

The voice of Hashirama Senju came through the Headset.

Tobirama Senju said helplessly, "Brother, didn't you agree to use team numbers when communicating, to prevent confusion at first glance?"

Why did you start using your own name?

"Hasn't it been identified that you are Tobirama? Have you found the whereabouts of the Kara Organization?"

Hashirama Senju an answer.

"No, we only found about a dozen people. It should be a small village. Our Team Two is going to check it out."

"Okay, report any issues immediately via Headset, and contact me every five minutes to prevent loss of communication."

"Yes."

Immediately, Tobirama Senju turned off his Headset and quickly arrived in front of the dozen or so Chakra.

Who... who are you?

A house with a completely different architectural style is located here.

A few people were eating on the street when they suddenly saw Tobirama Senju and the others and asked them a question.

"Second Hokage, their attire... is so strange."

If Kanami were here, he would definitely be able to tell that the other person's clothing style belongs to the modern era.

In short, it's not the typical Ninja attire of the Shinobi World; it leans more towards a modern style.

The houses are similar, leaning more towards a modern style.

Unlike the wooden houses used in Konoha Village, their houses are made of materials like concrete.

This clearly demonstrates that the level of technological development here is completely different from that of the Shinobi World!

"Hello, we are Ninja from Konoha Village in the Land of Fire. Where are you from?"

Tobirama Senju the initiative to step forward and ask.

However, as soon as he revealed that he was Ninja, the expressions on the faces of the people in front of him instantly turned strange.

"Ninja? There are still Ninja in this era?"

"Isn't that a relic of a bygone era? I remember the profession of Ninja didn't exist for over a hundred years."

"Yes, yes, I remember that being Ninja was a high-risk profession during times of war, taking on all sorts of jobs to help the country..."

"Brothers, are you guys really Ninja, or are you just wearing costumes and props for a movie?"

The small groups of people outside were even more curious about Tobirama Senju and the others.

Filming? Ninja no longer exist?

Tobirama Senju frowned.

He couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all.

How could Ninja have disappeared a hundred years ago?

What are they?

Is he dead?

"..."

However, he himself could be considered dead.

"Second Hokage... this..."

Tobirama Senju raised his hand, interrupting his doubts.

Do you know anything about Kara Organization?

"Kara Organization? I don't know, it sounds like some kind of criminal organization. We probably don't have that around here."

"Yes, if you're looking for revenge against organized crime, you'd better not. Organized crime these days isn't like it was a few years ago. Back then, they used cold weapons; now they all use firearms."

Cold weapons? Firearms? What are those?

Tobirama Senju was puzzled.

The two people eating and talking outside exchanged a glance, looking at Tobirama Senju as if he were an idiot. "You two aren't really Ninja, are you?"

"Just say it!"

Tobirama Senju finally lost his patience and shouted coldly.

He could still see the contempt in the other party's eyes, but they just didn't want to draw the war to their side.

This place looks completely different from the Shinobi World; it seems to have been spared the ravages of war for a long time.

Housing development has changed.

Even this late, there are still streets that look like night markets.

Most ninja villages don't have night markets.

If an enemy wants to launch a sneak attack, the night market is the best location, so most ninja villages default to closing their shops at night.

Only a few liquor stores and similar establishments can stay open a little longer, adding to the villagers' nightlife enjoyment.

Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's rebuke, several people immediately realized something was wrong and quietly left.

Only the two people being stared at by Tobirama turned pale instantly.

Although many places now use firearms, Tobirama Senju's gleaming Kunai joke.

"Well, cold weapons are things like Kunai, shuriken, and Samurai Sword that we used to use... Firearms are guns, pistols, and rifles... but rifles are quite rare..."

"Pistols, rifles?"

Tobirama Senju was even more confused after hearing this.

He then changed the subject, "Which country do you belong to?"

"We don't belong to any country... This area is autonomous, meaning it's Autonomous Region. If we're talking about countries, you'd have to go far to the north, it would take about two or three days by train."

The man said nervously.

"In the north... do you take the train?"

Tobirama Senju murmured softly.

He still knew about trains.

After all, the Land of Snow in the Shinobi World has trains.

They weren't used for convenient transportation; they were primarily used for transporting goods.

"Master Ninja, can we leave now...? We really don't know where the Kara Organization is."

The man begged for mercy, abandoning his plans to eat the peanuts and other snacks on the table.

"Get out of here," Tobirama Senju hissed.

The two men nodded repeatedly, then ran off quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The shop owner next door never showed up.

"Second Hokage, should we believe what he said?"

A Ninja asked a question.

"Whether we believe it or not, we're just searching aimlessly anyway. It doesn't matter. Let's just do as he says and see what happens."

"Let's go."

With Tobirama Senju Senju's figure vanished into the night with incredible speed.

The four Ninja quickly followed.

"Could they really be Ninja...? There really are still Ninja in this era..."

The shop owner muttered to himself as he watched Tobirama and the others' skills.

Soon, all the lights in the shop went out.

The owner closed the shop early.

"Brother, we're preparing to head north to explore."

"Is there any trace of the Kara Organization?"

Hashirama Senju's voice came through the Headset.

"It's not that easy! We'll have to go and see for ourselves," Tobirama Senju said, sounding slightly impatient.

"Can you get in touch with Kanami? I have some questions for him."

"I can get in touch, but what's the matter?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you, I'll just ask Kanami directly."

"..."

After a long while, the voice came through the Headset again.

"Second, I'm coming to you right away."

Tobirama Senju surprise, "Kanami?! You were so fast!"
