Jun Tianlin's Impending Appearance... The Woman 3/5 [Seeking Collections!]

PS: The madman has tried his best; I can only update three chapters for now as I have to head out again... I'll see if I can update more for everyone when I return tonight. My apologies!!

Otogakure is located in the Land of Rice Fields, tucked into the corner between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. Neighboring its coast is the Land of Hot Water, and across the sea to the right of the Land of Hot Water lies the Land of Water, a powerhouse of Water Release that dominates the ocean.

Having left Otogakure, Jun Tianlin felt the gloom in his heart dissipate, and he slightly slowed his previously rapid pace.

"The Land of Rice Fields borders the Land of Fire, and Otogakure is only a day's journey from Konoha. If I rush toward Konoha like a madman, it would be bad if I encountered any accidents along the way. I think it's better to prioritize caution. As long as this trip goes smoothly, it doesn't matter if I'm a little slower. Besides, the Uchiha Clan is right there in Konoha; they can't run away!"

"Yes, that's decided. Before going to Konoha, I'll just pretend to be an ordinary person and travel slowly. It will only cost me an extra two or three days, which is nothing."

After a brief moment of reflection, Jun Tianlin decided to slow down. He stopped rushing and began to head toward Konoha disguised as an ordinary person.

Since he was going to pretend, he might as well make it look convincing, right?

Along the way, Jun Tianlin truly acted as if he were an ordinary person. He forgot his identity as a ninja, happily making his way, breathing in the fresh air, and admiring the beautiful scenery.

Half a day later, Jun Tianlin had already traveled from Otogakure to the border between the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Fire. Once he crossed this forest, ahead lay the territory of the Land of Fire, the greatest nation in the Ninja World!

However, a peaceful journey is rarely smooth sailing...

Not long after Jun Tianlin entered the forest, a series of violent explosions suddenly erupted, shattering the forest's original tranquility like a thunderclap.

"Hmm? This explosion sounds like the noise made by exploding tags. Why would that happen in a place like this? Could it be that something has happened where the sound is coming from?"

The moment he heard the explosions, Jun Tianlin roughly grasped the situation. Since auxiliary attack items like exploding tags had appeared—and judging by the intensity of the blasts, at least five or more tags must have been used to achieve such power—it was certain that something had happened where the noise originated... It must be a major battle, right?

They say curiosity killed the cat, and that saying is indeed true!

Jun Tianlin, who originally only needed to head toward Konoha, sneak in, and achieve his goal of seizing the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan, abruptly stopped in his tracks upon hearing the explosions.

"There, at the place where the explosions occurred, something must have happened. Should I go over and take a look?"

With this thought, Jun Tianlin began to hesitate, his heart struggling between continuing toward Konoha and going to investigate the explosions.

"Yosh, forget it. I'm just going to take a look, just one look. I absolutely, definitely will not take action. No matter what happens, I'll just watch and not get involved!"

Indeed, human curiosity can be fatal, especially for a young man like Jun Tianlin...

After some internal struggle, Jun Tianlin's curiosity ultimately gained the upper hand, leading him to decide to head toward the site of the explosions to see what was going on.

It was precisely this decision that led Jun Tianlin to inadvertently encounter his first... woman!
