If I remember correctly, the current Akasuna no Sasori should have defected from the village. Asahi rubbed his chin, silently pondering.
"The Land of Wind?"
Shisui and Yugito were surprised. In their impression, the Land of Wind was a desert, with extremely harsh natural conditions.
Unexpectedly, Asahi's destination this time was there.
However, they were not pampered young masters and misses. Although a bit surprised, they did not express any objections.
"So, Master, when are we leaving?"
Yugito asked, not wanting to stay close by because she couldn't help her village in the upcoming war.
However, she wasn't worried about the Hidden Cloud Village. She has confidence in the strength of the Hidden Cloud.
Asahi looked in the direction of the Land of Lightning. The Iwa ninja forces had already left his sensing range.
The Land of Hot Water is very small. They will likely leave the country soon and officially enter the battlefield.
Asahi patted the heads of Shisui and Yugito, "Around noon, after all, the Land of Hot Water is not a suitable country for training."
"Okay, Master."
The morning passed quickly, and Asahi and his group officially set out on the journey to the Land of Wind.
After Asahi and his group left, the Iwa ninja officially met the defense forces of the Hidden Cloud.
There was no friendly exchange between the two sides, no moral high ground accusations of inhumanity or how much hatred the other side had generated before the war.
These were all matters for the village leadership; they were only responsible for executing war tasks.
So, the Iwa ninjas launched probing attacks the moment they encountered the Hidden Cloud.
For the Hidden Cloud, they naturally knew the purpose of Iwa's arrival at this time. Therefore, they reacted promptly and counterattacked.
Of course, the two sides did not engage in large-scale battles. The Iwa ninjas received orders for harassment attacks, waiting for the arrival of the main forces.
Therefore, they did not rush into a full-scale attack. The Hidden Cloud ninjas also could not launch large-scale attacks.
With their own numbers not in an advantageous position, launching a large-scale attack would mean they are tired of living.
However, everyone knew that the war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure had begun.
Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Asahi. Asahi is currently traveling with Shisui and Yugito, practicing along the way.
However, one should not overlook Sakumo, who has been following Asahi, he also participate in training with them and some time have a spar with Asahi.
After months of traveling, the four have crossed the Land of Fire and are about to reach the borders of the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind.
During these months, the Ninja World has completely fallen into chaos.
The war between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning has escalated, and even Konoha has clashed with the Land of Water.
Now, the only relatively peaceful place in the Ninja World is probably the Land of Wind.
However, this peace is only a false appearance. The Land of Wind has not joined the fray simply because they are too weak and temporarily dare not enter the war.
Thus, in the situation where almost the entire Ninja World is in chaos, the world's order is once again disrupted.
Countless civilians lost the capital they relied on to survive. War and hunger loomed over everyone.
In this situation, many desperate civilians turned to banditry.
Of course, there are countless wicked people taking advantage of the situation, occupying forests, and resorting to robbery.
Additionally, there are many rogue ninjas and renegade ninjas mixed among them.
These individuals are particularly despicable compared to the helpless civilians. They not only rob for wealth but also take lives without mercy.
If the victim happens to be a woman with some charm, that's a different story. People who lack professional ethics like this are especially detested.
You rob, and that's it. Why involve other things? Uh, sorry, getting off track.
Of course, at first glance, these situations seem unrelated to Asahi and his group. However, appearances can be deceiving.
Asahi and his group have witnessed these situations throughout their journey. In most cases, they end up being the "victims."
Well, what can you expect when Asahi and his group look like rich family?
A Master, out for a stroll with his siblings, accompanied by bodyguards. You see, they're quite similar.
In the current situation, it's like saying, "I'm a rich person, come and rob me."
Of course, some knowledgeable people might hesitate for a moment. After all, anyone daring to travel must have some skills.
But they can't resist the confidence, whether it's because they are ninjas themselves or due to sheer numbers.
So, along the way, there are plenty of bandits trying to rob Asahi and his group. This has led to the bandits being cleared out along Asahi's route.
Although most of the bandits are not too strong, at most, they have the level of a chuunin, which is enough to be a nuisance for Asahi and his group.
As they are about to reach their destination, Yugito and Shisui can't help but relax.
Don't ask them why they're tense; it's because of training. Because of Asahi's desire to train them, he directly handed them the task of "sweeping away criminals and bandits."
So, throughout this journey, the two of them have been vigilant about their surroundings, fearing that bandits might appear out of nowhere.
Then comes the smiling punishment moment from Asahi. Just thinking about Asahi's smile punishment, both of them couldn't help but shudder.
It's just too hopeless, almost devoid of any hope. It's better to just beat them up directly.
Knowing that they can't use ninjutsu to deplete chakra and can only use taijutsu to attack Asahi until they run out of stamina and energy—what kind of feeling is that? Of course, it looks easy.
But what if you can never hit him? Watching Asahi gracefully evade, constantly smiling at you, and you just can't touch the hem of his clothes. Each of your attacks lands on thin air.
Moreover, you have to exhaust all your stamina before you can stop. This is simply a nightmare.
Asahi even dubbed it as a way to enhance their observational skills. This is the terrifying punishment that makes Yugito and Shisui turn pale, the smiling punishment.
Once, due to negligence, they didn't notice a chuunin bandit trying to ambush them. So, they spent the entire morning in this despair.
Since then, at the thought of facing this punishment again, the two couldn't help but feel frightened.
This is when they started being on high alert whenever they hit the road.
These tough days lasted for almost three months for the two unlucky kids. However, the benefits are also apparent—they have indeed grown a lot.
