The Land of Bears, Hoshigakure (Continued)

Since an existence capable of suppressing tailed beasts like this certainly could not be doing something like serving as hidden guards in some ninja village.

So Dawn definitely existed in the ninja world, but they were simply far too mysterious.

The Akatsuki Organization could actually accomplish these things as well, but that was no longer the case. In this regard, Dawn was far superior to the Akatsuki Organization.

But there was nothing to be done about that. The reason was actually quite simple: the Akatsuki Organization needed enormous financial resources.

And so they had no choice but to carry out certain activities, such as taking missions at the Bounty Exchange, provoking wars between small countries, and then waiting for others to hire them.

Though they deliberately avoided certain things, if someone truly wanted to investigate the Akatsuki Organization, they would definitely be able to uncover something.

After this incident, Konan and Nagato, who had originally been able to remain at ease, both became somewhat agitated.

Land of Bears, somewhere. Hinata's group stood atop a mountain peak, looking down at the scenery below. They could not help but frown.

The Land of Bears possessed dense forests and the naturally perilous Hell Valley, which was filled with poisonous gas and could effectively prevent enemy invasions. Its borders were surrounded by ravines full of toxic fumes.

As for this country, how should she put it? Hinata disliked it greatly. Just looking at the scene within Hell Valley made her feel uncomfortable.

It was an instinctive dislike.

Although this was her first time coming to—or rather, passing through—the Land of Bears, it seemed that among them, only she and Wu Zhu had never been here before.

Kurama Mutsu, Mizuki Rei, and Winter Rain had all passed through this place while traveling the ninja world.
