After hearing Zabuza the Wanderer's words, Haku the Wanderer fell silent. Yes, whether it was Zabuza or himself, they both felt a strange sense of goodwill when they saw Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, as if they had known each other in a past life.
Night passed, and daylight eventually arrived. When Naruto and Sasuke awoke, servants had already prepared their clothes for this world. When they stepped out of their room, they found the entire Demon Tribe bustling about. Their task for the day was to dismember the Blue Snake carcass they had brought yesterday. After all, there were still many usable parts in that enormous Blue Snake carcass. For example, the snake meat could be eaten, the snake bones could be used to make bone weapons, and the snake whip could be used to make wine. Ahem, I digress.
When Naruto saw the dismembered Blue Snake, he was filled with disbelief. He had a summoning beast like that himself, but he never expected to encounter its true form in the Wanderer World.
"Hey, Naruto, does that blue snake look familiar? I think you have a summoning beast like that too, could it be...?"
Before Sasuke could finish speaking, Naruto covered his mouth. His summoning beasts were all given to him by the system; anything from the system was guaranteed to be top-notch. It didn't matter where they came from, as long as they worked. Besides, this Wanderer World might not even have a summoning beast system. And these Blue Snake were scattered everywhere; was he supposed to tell them now that these were his summoning beasts and ask them to assemble them back together?
Seeing Naruto's warning look, Sasuke realized he had said the wrong thing. Luckily, everyone around him was busy with their own work, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain. After all, they had heard that this Blue Snake had caused them a lot of trouble. If he dared to go up and say something out of line, any goodwill he had shown would have vanished instantly.
Just then, a series of clanging sounds rang out, attracting everyone's attention. It turned out that the Demon Tribe's scouts had rung the tribe's warning bell.
Naruto and Sasuke's attention was naturally drawn to the scene, and soon Zabuza the Wanderer and Haku the Wanderer arrived after hearing the news. One of their subordinates stepped forward to explain the situation to them.
"My lord, something terrible has happened! A strange warrior has arrived outside, saying he's looking for you."
Upon hearing their subordinates' report, Zabuza the Wanderer and Haku the Wanderer's expressions changed, their faces turning solemn. After all, with the current chaos and turmoil, who would come looking for them in the Demon Tribe?
"Come, let's go take a look."
And so, Zabuza the Wanderer and Haku the Wanderer walked at the front, followed by a large group of subordinates, while Naruto and Sasuke naturally mingled among them, preparing to gather information.
When the group arrived at the tribe's gate, they indeed saw a samurai-dressed fellow, and a rare dual-sword samurai at that. He wore sky-blue armor, and his most striking feature was his white hair, which stood out conspicuously among the crowd. He was carrying one samurai sword on his shoulder, with the other tucked into his waistband. His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he didn't take the people in front of him seriously. It wasn't until Zabuza the Wanderer and Haku the Wanderer appeared that his arrogant gaze softened.
Of all the people present, besides Zabuza the Wanderer and Haku the Wanderer, Naruto was the most shocked. He never expected that the newcomer would be Tobirama the Wanderer.
When they saw that the person who came was Tobirama the Wanderer, Zabuza the Wanderer and Haku the Wanderer were also taken aback.
What brings you here?
"There are some things I need to discuss with you."
Seeing Tobirama the Wanderer's serious expression, even Zabuza the Wanderer and Haku the Wanderer had to take it seriously.
The two then took Tobirama the Wanderer to discuss matters, leaving the Demon Tribe members looking at each other in bewilderment. Only then did someone speak.
"Hiss, I think I know who that samurai was."
"Who was that? That guy seemed pretty cocky."
At this moment, the words of a gray-haired samurai attracted the attention of those around him, and everyone naturally moved closer, wanting to hear what the old samurai had to say about the samurai from before.
Naruto and Sasuke, intrigued, moved closer to hear the old samurai's story. Meanwhile, Naruto was also deep in thought. In the Wanderer World, most Wandering Samurai were people who had died in the Shinobi World and were reincarnated into this world. However, many others who hadn't died also appeared in the Wanderer World. Naruto's thoughts were in turmoil; he didn't know if the Tobirama the Wanderer still had memories of his previous life in Konoha.
Fortunately, now there is someone who can tell me stories about Tobirama the Wanderer, so I am naturally very willing to listen.
"That guy just now was Tobirama the Wanderer, a dual-wielding samurai. Actually, he wasn't as dangerous as he seemed at first. I heard that back then, he took in a group of orphans and taught them martial arts, turning them into powerful samurai. Things were going smoothly until later..."
"That devil, driven by his own selfish desires, wantonly launched a war that engulfed that paradise. Because the dual-wielding samurai Tobirama the Wanderer was absent, the children were no match for him. When he returned, only dismembered limbs and rivers of blood remained—a truly horrific scene..."
"Later, this dual-wielding samurai became a ruthless killer. Anyone who was associated with that devil could not survive his presence. Today, the dual-wielding samurai has come again. It seems he has discovered traces of that devil in the vicinity."
Having heard this, Naruto and Sasuke roughly understood what had happened. However, it was only then that Sasuke remembered who the Tobirama the Wanderer resembled—wasn't that the Second Hokage on the Hokage Rock in the village?
Seeing Sasuke's shocked expression, Naruto guessed that he had remembered, but his reaction time was a bit too long, wasn't it?
"Shh, Zhuzi, I know what you want to ask, but there are too many people around now. Let's wait until we get back."
Sasuke had no choice but to give up, but he was still somewhat worried. He had heard Naruto say that the Second Hokage harbored deep hatred for the Uchiha Clan, often calling them evil Uchiha. "You've already chosen your own death, I'll..."
Just thinking about it made Sasuke nervously swallow. He didn't know if he was a match for that guy, and the thought of fighting such a strong opponent made Sasuke incredibly excited.
Sasuke naturally noticed Naruto's state.
"Hey, Uchiha Sasuke, what are you thinking about? Why are you so agitated?"
Sasuke glanced at Naruto before speaking.
" Naruto, do you think I can beat that guy?"
Naruto was puzzled, Naruto, and with a face full of black lines, he could only offer some advice:
"That might not be our enemy right now, but who knows what will happen in the future? But you could certainly have a friendly spar."
Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as he genuinely wanted to spar with this man who seemed to be an old acquaintance.
"Oh? So what are your plans?"
"The wolf feigns sleep to lure the enemy."
Sasuke naturally understood Naruto's words. So Naruto wanted to get involved too. That made sense, since Naruto was a figure from textbooks. Although he knew this guy might be an imposter, he still wanted to give it a try. Since Naruto wanted to come too, they could join in and see what this guy was really capable of.
"Okay, Naruto, I understand. I'll lure the enemy forward, and you can launch a sneak attack."
"No, no, Uchiha Sasuke, your ability to understand me still needs improvement."
Naruto clearly disagreed with Sasuke's words. What was going on? Seeing Sasuke's puzzled look, Naruto smiled confidently and gave an explanation.
"Watch me play the fool, I'll outsmart him."
