After wandering around, Ye Fan bought many things, and before he knew it, his backpack had become stuffed again.
Although there were still many places they had not visited, time no longer allowed it.
"It's time to board. If you like this place, we can come back and explore more after we return," Kurenai Yuhi said.
The group boarded the passenger ship and sailed toward the vast sea.
To make a long story short.
Although they encountered a storm at sea, the voyage went fairly smoothly.
Finally, one morning, the passenger ship safely reached shore.
"So this is the Land of Water?"
After getting off the ship, Kiba Inuzuka stared at the rolling mountains, still unable to believe that he had arrived in another country.
"The Land of Water is surrounded by the sea and has mountainous terrain, with many islands of varying sizes around it."
Ye Fan straightened his clothes and smiled.
During the sea voyage, he had read through all the books he had bought, including introductions to the Land of Water.
He had even memorized the map of the Land of Water.
"While it's still early, let's get moving," Kurenai Yuhi urged.
The largest ninja village in the Land of Water was Kirigakure. Because of the various tyrannical policies enforced by the Fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure's ninjas had been allowed to slaughter one another, making the village extremely brutal.
Fortunately, after the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, took office, she carried out sweeping reforms, and conditions improved greatly.
Perhaps because Mei Terumi had only recently taken office, Kirigakure was still in a transitional period between the old and new regimes, with many problems yet to be resolved.
Rumor had it that internal conflicts within Kirigakure were extremely frequent.
Many powerful ninjas, dissatisfied with Mei Terumi's policies, had left Kirigakure.
