Seeing the slight change in Miko and Ichiro's expressions, Kakashi knew that the two of them should have some understanding about Uzushiogakure.
"Silver, why are you looking for Uzushiogakure? It is not a good place."
Ichiro said with a panic expression.
"Ah, it's nothing, I just feel curious. After all, it is said that people there are very long-lived. Maybe there is a secret to longevity in that place."
"What secret? Now that Uzushiogakure is destroyed, there is nothing left in that place. Silver, I advise you not to go there."
Ichiro kindly tell Kakashi to not go there, but Kakashi's purpose this time is to go to Uzushiogakure, so he naturally won't give up just like that.
"I am not a person who gives up easily." Kakashi said with a smile.
Ichiro sighed helplessly and said: "Silver, you have saved Jiro. So it's okay to tell you this, but that place is not a simple place."
"I'm not a simple person either."
Kakashi said, showing a light smile.
Jiro also answered at this time: "Yeah, Silver Nii-san is amazing. He can walk on the water."
"Walk on the water?" Ichiro was taken aback, and then asked: "Silver, are you a shinobi?"
"I'm just learning how to keep my body fit, so I'm not as good as a shinobi."
Kakashi didn't directly state that he was a shinobi, because he found that in fact, civilians have a fear of shinobi.
Ichiro and Miko looked at each other and they could see the fear in each other's eyes.
Shinobi. This word is very scary for civilians.
The feeling that life and death are not in their own hands is uncomfortable.
"Silver-sama, if you have any instructions, we will follow it."
Ichiro immediately changed his tone, and his words were full of fear.
Seeing this, Kakashi sighed, 'Sure enough, it was still like this. If I had known about this, I wouldn't tell these things to Jiro before.
"Matsuda-san, don't do this, I'm not that scary."
Ichiro looked at Kakashi's smiling face, and he felt kindness from Kakashi's body, so his heart was slightly relaxed.
"Matsuda-san, can you tell me where the location of Uzushiogakure is?" Kakashi asked.
"Silver-sama, the location of Uzushiogakure that you are going to going to is at the center of this small island. There is a valley called Uzumaki Valley. That place is surrounded by currents. And water whirlpools appear from time to time so it is a very dangerous place. Those whirlpools will sink all the boats that go there."
The way Ichiro is calling Kakashi makes Kakashi quite helpless, but it's hard to do anything about this. After all, this subconsciousness already exists in civilians' mind, and it's not something that can be changed easily.
Kakashi just stop caring about it. After all, it was just a one-sided relationship, and they wouldn't meet each other again in the future.
"Thank you Matsuda-san, then I will leave first."
"Silver Nii-san, won't you stay for lunch?"
Seeing that Kakashi was about to leave, Jiro called out quickly, apparently sincerely wanting to keep Kakashi stay for lunch.
It's just that the nervous expressions of Ichiro and Miko made Kakashi not even wanting to stay.
In such an atmosphere, no matter how the food delicious the food is, it will be awkward.
"No, Jiro, I still have something to do, so I won't have lunch with you."
Hearing that, Jiro was disappointed and said: "That's a shame. Kaa-san's foods is very good. And this fish is also caught by you. It would be a shame to not eat this together."
Kakashi just smiled. After all, there are too many people he would meet in a lifetime. And Jiro's family is only one of a passer-by in Kakashi's life.
Leaving too many ties is sometimes not a good thing.
"If I have a chance next time, let's eat together."
Kakashi said. Then he waved his hand and left.
Looking at Kakashi's back, Jiro then said to his mother: "Kaa-san, I really admire Silver Nii-san, he can travel everywhere he wants. I want to be like that in the future."
Miko was surprised when she heard Jiro's words and quickly said: "Jiro, such a person is very dangerous, and it is likely for them to die at any time, are you not afraid?"
Jiro shook his head, showing a firm expression.
"Kaa-san, I don't want to stay here all my life. I want to see the world outside. This world must be more exciting than I thought."
Hearing this, Ichiro laughed heartily and said: "Jiro has grows up now, and he also has aspirations. It is a good thing. If you want to go out, you must have a strong body. You have to work harder and you need to become as strong as your father. Only then can you go out."
"Okay! Tou-san, I will work hard."
"Well, you father and son are really strange, you should go in and eat. You need to have a full stomach to have the strength to think about the future."
At this point, Jiro's stomach rang. Jiro couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Kaa-san, I have a fish right here. Please cook this one." Jiro said.
"Okay, kaa-san will make it for you, you little greedy cat."
"Yay."
The life of this family of three seemed very warm.
Kakashi looked at it from a distance, couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Unfortunately, in this life, that kind of life is too far away from him.
At least for now.
Heshi Village is just a small episode in Kakashi's journey. Kakashi once again confirms his direction and headed towards the center of the Land of Whirlpools.
The Land of Whirlpools is not big, and now it is splitted into small villages similar to Heshi Village.
Kakashi also met a lot of other villages along the way.
Without disturbing them, Kakashi just passed by and rushes towards the center.
One day later, Kakashi stood on a valley, looking at the scenery ahead.
It is a huge valley, and there is a ruin in the middle of the valley!
Uzushiogakure's territory is very similar to that of Konoha, and it is also a huge circle.
It's only that Konoha's wall is built by themselves, and Uzushiogakure makes use of this natural valley to become their wall.
The valley is very high, Kakashi roughly estimated that it is at least a few hundred meters.
"Is this Uzushiogakure?"
Kakashi felt some inexplicable feeling as he looked at the wreckage of buildings all over the place.
After all, he only has seen a destroyed place like this at the Hell Valley before.
After he prepared himself, Kakashi soon came down from the valley.
Since he wants to investigate Uzushiogakure, he naturally won't only look at it from the distance, but going to the ruins.
Going down the valley, there is a small forest with lush trees.
"It's really quiet here. Except for insects, there is nothing else here. It seems that even wild beasts are not willing to come to this place."
Walking through the small forest, Kakashi then saw the current that Ichiro was talking about.
The current is quite wide, and it is obviously not realistic to jump directly over it.
Above the current, there are occasional whirlpools appearing from time to time, which looks quite frightening.
