"?"
After circling the Land of Grass, Orochimaru had a question mark in his mind.
Why doesn't the Land of Grass have a single strong ninja?
"Etc!"
Orochimaru suddenly noticed a large pit.
"This is... the aura of that Explosion Release kid!"
Orochimaru sensed it and found an extremely faint Explosion Release Chakra in the air.
That means it's Orochimaru; no one else could sense it at all.
Is this Kusagakure?
Orochimaru stared in disbelief at the huge crater.
He went inside and searched around, and finally, he found a Forehead Protector from the Kusagakure, but it was only half of it.
"No wonder... no wonder!"
Orochimaru crushed the Forehead Protector, his anger soaring.
He was beaten so badly by Didaze that he could only possess another body, which was bad enough, but that bastard even destroyed the place where he possessed the body!
" The Land of Rain is right next door... Never mind, I'll just go to Takigakure and find somewhere."
Orochimaru sighed inwardly.
Although Takigakure in terms of overall strength among the small countries, there's nothing they can do now.
Compared to Hanzo of the Salamander there, Takigakure is a bit easier to bully.
As long as the Seven-Tails doesn't provoke Jinchūriki, it's highly unlikely it will be able to escape; it just needs to find a lone Jonin.
Orochimaru composed himself and then headed towards Takigakure.
Iwagakure
" Lord Tsuchikage, I'm leaving!"
Didaze picked up the scroll and waved to Ōnoki with a smile.
"Kid, I'm completely at ease leaving this to you. Don't let me down!"
Ōnoki looked at the energetic young man and smiled kindly, just like an ordinary old man looking at his child.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. You can rest assured!"
" Clay Giant Bird!"
After Didaze finished speaking, he immediately sculpted Clay Giant Bird, then leaped up and stood on top of Giant Bird!
Didaze piloted the Clay Giant Bird towards Kirigakure.
Ah... the boundless sea!
Didaze set off from the border of Iwagakure, passing through countless small countries, and finally saw the sea.
The Land of Water is a large island in the ocean.
Didaze continued flying, navigating the vast ocean. Had it not been for the map, Didaze would probably have gotten lost long ago.
It must be said that Kirigakure is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its terrain, which spans almost half of the sea, makes it difficult for Kirigakure to be attacked proactively.
An unknown amount of time has passed.
"We've finally arrived!"
Didaze spotted land in the distance and excitedly landed immediately.
" Kirigakure..."
After landing, Didaze summoned Shadow Clone and Shadow Clone to search for the very center of the land.
The main body remained atop the Giant Bird, high in the sky, waiting for the Shadow Clone to transmit information to it.
The Shadow Clone continued walking and soon arrived at the very center of this land.
" Yugakure?"
The Shadow Clone looked at the name of the ninja village with a strange expression.
So, the original body... has gone to the wrong place?
The Shadow Clone punched itself, dissolving itself in the process.
" Yugakure??"
Didaze, high in the sky, also received the message from the Shadow Clone.
"This... I clearly came towards the Land of Water!"
Didaze scratched his head.
"Fine, since we're already in Yugakure, let's see what this Jashin ritual is all about!"
Didaze was very curious about Hidan's immortal body in the original work, and now that he has actually come to Yugakure, of course he has to see it.
Anyway, Ōnoki gave himself a six-month time limit for the task, and he could walk back and forth several times in six months, so he wasn't worried at all.
"Hmm... let's go check out the village first!"
Didaze jumped off the Clay Giant Bird.
The Yugakure posed no threat to him; it was just a small ninja village whose leader could be a Jonin. He could easily crush it without even using his Explosion Release.
" Lord Jashin above, I hope you will bless me..."
As Didaze walked along, he suddenly heard a man praying.
This is the object of our prayers...
Didaze turned his head and saw a hideous monster appear in his field of vision.
"Laugh"
Didaze chuckled, not intending to bother the man.
"Who are you! You're definitely not from the Land of Hot Water!"
But Didaze ignored him, and he stopped Didaze.
"You dare to see Jashin and not worship him! You damned bastard!"
The man, looking like a fanatical follower of Jashin, walked up to Didaze and began to berate Didaze!
" Wind Release: Wind Blade!"
Didaze summoned Wind Blade and, with a cold look in his eyes, slashed it towards the man's neck.
"Ugh! Ugh!"
The man's neck was slashed open! He started bleeding profusely!
He died shortly afterward.
"A fanatic of the Jashin, but the Jashin doesn't seem to like you."
Didaze looked at the man's corpse and spoke to it.
The Jashin clearly did not grant him immortality.
"This is just the middle of nowhere, and we've already encountered sculptures of Jashin. It seems this whole country must be filled with Jashin Statue."
Didaze looked at the statue of the Jashin, and the Jashin seemed to be looking back at him.
"But I don't believe in any Jashin!"
Didaze shattered the Jashin Statue with Wind Blade!
After shattering the sculpture, Didaze summoned Clay Giant Bird and headed directly towards the center of the Land of Hot Water.
He didn't care what these people believed in; it was just that the man had provoked him.
If someone possesses great power but is insulted and does not fight back, they might as well commit suicide and return their power to the world.
Yugakure
Was there a Chakra just now?
"I don't know!"
The two ninja from Yugakure who were guarding the gate were somewhat puzzled.
They seemed to have sensed a Chakra, but it vanished as if it had evaporated into thin air.
This left them unable to determine whether it was a misjudgment or if it was genuine.
"Wait, look at the sky!"
Just as the two were confused, Didaze had already flown to the Jashin Statue in the very center of Yugakure!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
The two immediately started shouting, and everyone below looked up!
"Cut!"
Didaze looked up at the ninjas below, who were all looking up at him, and curled his lip in disdain.
"Oh?"
Didaze suddenly saw a person holding a small Jashin Statue.
This Jashin Statue exudes an eerie aura, unlike the giant sculpture standing in the square; this sculpture is full of a sense of power!
"Give it to me!"
Didaze directly controlled the Clay Giant Bird to swoop down in front of the man and snatched the Jashin Statue away!
"Damn it! Attack!!"
This man is the current leader of Yugakure, and what he is holding in his arms is the sculpture that has been passed down from generation to generation by the leaders of Yugakure and is said to possess the power of Jashin!
The leader held the Jashin Statue in his arms Tenten, hoping that one day the Jashin would see his piety.
And he also believed that there was nowhere safer than in his own arms!
But to his utter surprise, someone snatched the Jashin Statue directly from his arms!
