Kaguya Clan, Shikotsumyaku

Ten days later, night had fallen.

A figure in a gray cloak and conical hat appeared at the entrance to a remote village within the Land of Water.

"This should be the place—the Kaguya Clan..."

Guy slowly raised his head, his gaze beneath the hat sweeping over the crude buildings ahead, flickering in and out of view beneath the firelight.

"Easier to find than expected."

After leaving the Land of Hot Water, Guy had not delayed and traveled straight to the Land of Water.

He had only asked a few residents near the Land of Water's border before learning where the Kaguya Clan was located.

There was no other reason—the village was simply too "notorious" within the Land of Water!

Hardly anyone had not heard of it.

Whenever people mentioned it, they always added remarks like "they're sick" or "a bunch of lunatics."

Guy was not surprised by this.

The Kaguya Clan was famously belligerent and insane.

The entire village seemed to have no interest in agriculture, commerce, technology, or education.

All they thought about every day was starting wars and plundering.

They were the kind of people everyone hated.

During wartime, they fought other countries.

Even after wars ended, they never settled down, constantly stirring up trouble and provoking neighboring villages.

The fact that they had survived without being completely wiped out was something of a "miracle."

"But they won't last many more years."

"If nothing changes, the entire Kaguya Clan will be exterminated by Kirigakure within three to five years, right?"

Guy shook his head as he mused inwardly.

A few years later, the entire Kaguya Clan would lose their minds and brazenly launch a full-scale assault on Kirigakure.

The result was obvious—they would be thoroughly exterminated by Kirigakure.

Of the entire Kaguya Clan, only Kimimaro would survive
