Immediately afterward, Tsunade over the topic, turned to Yan, and asked.
What are your plans for the future?
"You guys said there's an Otsutsuki in the Ninja World!"
Yan raised his head slightly and smiled.
"Over the next period of time, I will travel throughout this Ninja World, searching for his whereabouts, and also want to see how this world differs from the one I live in."
"After I kill him, I should be ready to leave!"
Jiraiya nodded in agreement, saying, " Uchiha Yan, you are very strong, stronger than anyone I've ever met!"
"If possible, I still don't want you to cause too much of a commotion."
After saying that, he seemed to realize that his words were somewhat ambiguous, and said solemnly.
"This is a request!"
Upon hearing this, Yan raised an eyebrow. "Actually, if you asked me, I wouldn't mind helping you resolve Konoha's troubles."
Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance and then shook their heads simultaneously.
"This is our world, and we should decide its future. We won't trouble you with that."
"Just like the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, the dead shouldn't interfere with the world of the living."
"..."
After saying that, Tsunade and Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
In fact, they had already considered Yan's suggestion in their hearts.
But in the end, this was the decision they made.
You must believe in yourself.
Even the Fifth Hokage is still an outsider.
It's impossible for him to do everything.
"Alright, I won't insist. I'll be going now, goodbye!"
After speaking, Yan stood up, his figure gradually becoming blurred, causing ripples in the space, and then he instantly disappeared from the Hokage's office.
Tsunade and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This guy really doesn't like to waste words; he just left without a word!"
"Actually, this is for the best. I really didn't know how to get along with him!"
"..."
After leaving Konoha, Yan's figure first arrived in the Land of Rice Fields.
Same as the world it belongs to.
The golden rapeseed fields stretched out like an ocean, and as a gentle breeze blew, the flowers swayed softly, like golden waves rolling.
Yan strolled along the path through the rapeseed fields, feeling the gentle breeze and the fragrance of the flowers.
A rare moment of peace settled over me.
Ever since I transmigrated to the Ninja World, I've been constantly busy.
He only traveled for one year in between.
But that was also purposeful.
Later on, there was the Thunder-Fire War and the Ninja World's strategic maneuvering.
Various unexpected events also occurred.
I've never had a moment of peace.
This is a rare opportunity, allowing him to travel the Ninja World in peace.
Although this isn't his world, the general situation is quite similar.
And once he goes back, he probably won't have many peaceful days.
To avoid trouble, he changed his Hokage robe back into a black and white robe.
As for Forehead Protector, he never wears them!
Unbeknownst to him, Yan had entered a tavern.
To be honest, he doesn't like drinking alcohol; he didn't like it in his past life, and he doesn't like it in this life either.
But that doesn't mean they won't drink it.
The tavern was dimly lit, with a few oil lamps flickering on the walls, their dim yellow light barely illuminating the surroundings.
A strong aroma of alcohol filled the air, so strong it seemed to intoxicate.
It also carried a faint smell of tobacco, which wafted into one's nasal cavity.
The wooden tables and chairs were arranged somewhat haphazardly, and some tables still had traces of alcohol on them.
The guests, some sitting and some standing, were talking loudly, making the tavern noisy and chaotic.
Yan found a corner seat, tapped the table lightly, and signaled the waiter to bring the wine.
A moment later, the waiter hurried over with a pot of wine, placed it on the table, and bowed and scraped.
"Please enjoy your meal, sir."
Then he hurried off to greet the other guests.
Yan poured himself a glass of wine, but didn't drink it right away. He just listened quietly to the conversations around him.
At this moment, a burly man with a full beard spoke with a worried expression.
"Have you heard? Things haven't been peaceful in the Land of Rice Fields lately!"
"What's going on? I just finished a mission and was about to head back."
A young ninja nearby immediately perked up and curiously leaned over.
The burly man sighed, tilted his head back, and downed the wine in his cup.
"Hey, these past few days, villagers and children have been going missing, several times already. Everyone's saying it's the devil's doing!"
"A devil? What devil? It's definitely someone playing tricks!" An old man with gray hair sat to the side, waving his hand dismissively.
"But those missing people just vanished into thin air, leaving no trace at the scene. What else could it be but a demon?" the young woman holding her child said anxiously.
She gently rocked the child in her arms while anxiously looking at everyone.
"I heard that someone saw a dark shadow darting around the village at night, moving so fast that it was impossible to see what it was."
"Maybe it's ninjas from other countries causing trouble."
"Whatever it is, this can't go on; everyone's panicking."
"If all else fails, let's call in the ninjas to investigate!"
"..."
Just then, the tavern door creaked open.
A gust of cold wind blew in, causing the lights to flicker violently.
Everyone turned around and saw a terrified boy rush in, panting heavily.
This young man is known to all the regulars here.
He is the shopkeeper's youngest son.
He likes to wander around the village every day.
All I heard him say was...
"Another... another person has gone missing!"
"Right at the old woman's house at the village entrance, the old woman and her grandson were eaten by the Snake Monster."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tavern erupted in chatter, with the guests whispering amongst themselves and their expressions growing even more serious.
The ninjas and samurai exchanged glances but made no move.
Is the Snake Monster a summoned beast?
Whatever it is, they would never work for free.
"Let's go take a look!"
The burly man who had started the fight suddenly stood up, downed the wine in the jug in one gulp, and stormed out.
Judging from his flushed cheeks and unsteady gait, he's clearly had too much to drink.
After all, ordinary people would be trying to avoid such a situation, not go out of their way to die.
After the burly man Earth Flow out, several other men, also drunk and with flushed faces, put their arms around each other's shoulders and shouted incoherently.
"Let's go take a look; maybe we can be of some help."
"What kind of Snake Demon dares to act so presumptuously here? I'll kill it!"
"..."
As they spoke, they staggered behind the big man.
Seeing this, the others, thinking of their superior numbers, grew bolder and stood up one after another.
Tables and chairs were knocked over and scattered, causing chaos in the tavern.
Seeing this, Yan followed.
The Land of Rice Fields, Snake Demon Orochimaru Demon—who else could it be but Orochimaru?
That's quite a coincidence.
At this point in time, Orochimaru, Sasuke, Karin, and the others should all be here!
