After three days at sea, Naruto-Madara and Black Zetsu entered the Land of Water.
That night, they reached the wooded hills outside Kirigakure. Hungry, Naruto-Madara hunted down a tiger, drained its blood, and skinned it. Disregarding every taboo of a Ninja's campsite, he lit a fire and roasted its meat!
Once it was half cooked, he speared a chunk of foreleg meat with a kunai and devoured it with tiger blood, utterly rough and uninhibited!
Two patrolling Kirigakure ANBU followed the smoke rising above the woods to investigate. Peering into the clearing, they spotted a forehead protector gleaming in the moonlight!
"A Konoha brat of a Ninja, right outside our village? He must be up to no good. Take him down immediately!"
"Wait! Look closely. Aside from his shabby clothes, he doesn't have a scratch on him. If he could kill a Tiger like that, he's probably no ordinary brat!"
"Senior, aren't you overthinking this? He doesn't even know the basics of being a Ninja. What else could he be but a brat?"
"Listen, rookie. Never let appearances fool you. Back in the Bloody Mist era, Zabuza Momochi was younger than that boy when he killed every other candidate in his graduation exam! The Ninja world has no shortage of people who made a name for themselves young. Konoha's Kakashi Hatake—the man who killed Zabuza—was already a jōnin at that boy's age!"
"In short, the stranger this looks, the more careful we need to be. I'll stay and watch him. Go get Reinforcements!"
"Understood, senior!"
Madara glanced toward the bushes out of the corner of his eye, then lowered his head and kept gnawing on the meat!
Soon, the arriving Kirigakure ANBU surrounded the woods. The enormous tiger on the roasting rack had already become a scattering of broken bones!
