Finding White

Jin headed toward the next village.

The night was still dark, with a bright moon hanging high overhead. On the road to the Land of Water, he actually ran into quite a few bandits! Jin began to wonder if all the ninjas in the Land of Water had died. At least within Konoha's sphere of influence, he had never encountered any obstacles. Jin grumbled indignantly, "If you're going to rob someone, then rob them! At least send someone high-level! Damn it, their levels are way too low. I haven't even gained one level. They're not even as good as the eight clones training in the Forest of Death! Heh heh, this one should be a high-level target!"

"Old man! Are you that recently famous short-legged steelyard weight?" A voice suddenly rang out.

Jin was furious. In the tone of an old man, he cursed, "Damn it, I spotted you from two thousand meters away. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here! Kid, state your name! I don't kill nameless ghosts! Don't tell me you're one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. If you are, then I'm Orochimaru of Konoha's Legendary Three Ninja!" As he spoke, he even stuck out his tongue.

The newcomer burst into laughter. "You're joking, right? I am Kurosuki Raiga, elder brother of Momochi Zabuza of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! That brat isn't good enough. Sorry, but for the money, you can only say goodbye to this world! Lightning Release: Lightning Ball! Lightning Release: Lightning Armor!" Kurosuki Raiga rapidly formed hand seals.

Jin bent over laughing. At the same time, he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. After seeing everything clearly, he deactivated it again. By then, Kurosuki Raiga's attack had already reached him. Jin quickly formed hand seals and laughed. "How childish! You're so slow!" Jin used the Body Flicker Technique and had already appeared behind him.

Kurosuki Raiga laughed. "Is that so? Lightning Burial: Feast of Thunder! Wahahaha! Die."

"Kakashi's technique really is great! Lightning Burial: Feast of Thunder! Let's see who's stronger!" With speed too fast to cover one's ears while stealing a bell, Jin formed his seals even faster, then said, "Lightning Release: Lightning Ball! Lightning Release: Lightning Armor!"

Boom! The tornadoes generated by the rotational force of two currents of lightning collided. "Aah—" Kurosuki Raiga let out a miserable cry.

Jin glanced at Raiga, who had fallen in the distance, then shook his head. "Why are you so stupid? You couldn't even withstand one little Lightning Ball?"

"You—damn it! How do you know my techniques? Do you have a Sharingan?" Kurosuki Raiga asked angrily.

"Ever heard of Danzo? Who knows where he got two Sharingan from. I snatched one from him. Heh heh, maybe he's watching from somewhere nearby! He's no match for me, so naturally he sent lackeys like you to attack me one after another! I'm a very kind person. Since you're still young and have some talent, this old man will let you go. I should thank you, too. This Sharingan is really useful. Take a message to Danzo and tell him to keep a close watch on his other Sharingan. Maybe one day, when this old man is in the mood, I'll come take it. Goodbye!" Jin left with a smile, thinking to himself, He knows far too few ninjutsu! As long as I'm fast enough, I can dodge them easily. How boring! Before leaving, he added without looking back, "You'd better not attack me with your Thunder Fang. You're too slow!"

Kurosuki Raiga gritted his teeth. "Damn Danzo! That guy already has the strength of a jonin, yet the mission level he posted was still so low! Who is this old man? Damn it, I never should have accepted this mission. The Sharingan truly deserves to be called an S-rank bloodline limit. Oh no, the place that old man is heading toward seems to be the capital of the Land of Water. Momochi Zabuza is going there too! I have to notify him quickly! Cough, cough, damn it, I'm injured! That old man is so powerful. His Lightning Ball was actually twice as strong as mine."

"What? Momochi Zabuza is also heading for the capital of the Land of Water?" Jin's hearing was exceptionally sharp. Though Kurosuki Raiga had spoken very softly, Jin still heard him! Jin raced forward. After turning a corner and seeing no one around, he immediately used the Gale Technique to conceal himself, increasing his speed tenfold! The trees on either side of Jin fell backward in rows. Not even a trace of dust rose from the road, proving just how absurd the Gale Technique was. It left no trace at all.

"Momochi Zabuza!" Jin saw a ninja on the road ahead and shouted in his urgency.

"Who? Who is it?" The ninja immediately froze and quietly observed the movements around him.

Jin sprinted all the way over. When he reached the ninja, he saw that the man still had not noticed him, so he walked closer. Even when Jin stood directly in front of him and looked at him, the man still did not notice. Seeing the unfamiliar face, Jin was immediately disappointed. "Sorry, mistaken identity!" With that, he continued on his way.

The ninja jumped in fright when he suddenly heard the voice and nervously looked around. After waiting for an hour, he finally let out a long breath and cursed, "Damn it, Momochi Zabuza! You scared the hell out of me! Good thing I didn't move! Teacher was right after all. If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. If the enemy moves, I hurt! Profound!"

Jin hurried onward anxiously, silently praying in his heart, Three Pure Ones Patriarch above, your faithful believer, now stranded in another world, prays to you. Please don't let Momochi Zabuza meet White! I beg you! If this works out, you can even let me take Hinata right then and there!

Boom! Crack! A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck straight into the distance! Rain suddenly began to pour. As he ran, Jin stared at the sky and shouted, "Three Pure Ones Patriarch, thank you! I'll wait until I get back to Konoha!"

Boom! Crack! Crack! Firelight in the distance illuminated the night sky.

Jin accelerated forward.

Closer, even closer. Jin finally saw figures ahead, but there were two of them! Jin revealed himself. The thunder roared deafeningly, and Jin saw clearly that one was Momochi Zabuza, while the other was actually a Konoha ninja!

Jin approached and asked, "What's going on? Who are you?"

Momochi Zabuza said coldly, "Mind your own business!"

The Konoha ninja said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Oh, I know. You're that recently famous short-legged steelyard weight! You aren't from Konoha, so please do as you please."

Momochi Zabuza sneered. "He's just a rogue ninja from Konoha. Are you really that afraid of Konoha ninjas? I truly despise you!"

Jin laughed and asked, "What are you two after? Or rather, what item?"

Momochi Zabuza sneered. "Nothing much. Just something from Konoha!"
