Inside Konoha, Aoba took the initiative to accept this mission. After removing the skin effect of [Crimson Swordsman], he directly walked out.
Because this time he was going to kill Kirigakure, who had the reputation of 'Village of the Bloody Mist', he had to stay first.
In this way, even if he encountered any accidents, he could instantly escape and save his life.
Secondly, 'Naruto' could turn into his appearance to create an illusion that he was still in Konoha, and the ability to communicate with souls should not be exposed.
Therefore, he was going to find Itachi and Gekko Hayate to explain the situation and find an excuse to go into seclusion so that no one would disturb him and give himself away.
Oh right, there was also Naruto. Otherwise, the little fellow would be worried about him.
After doing all this, he carefully checked the things in the ninja backpack and made sure that there were no omissions. Only then did he make 'Naruto' into his own appearance, while he disguised himself as an ordinary person with the transformation technique.
Then, he sneaked into a merchant group that he had found beforehand and waited to leave Konoha.
Thanks to the end of the war, the trade between countries flourished again, and Konoha's guard was not as strict as before.
It allowed Aoba to smoothly sneak out.
In fact, even if the inspection was particularly strict, he had other ways.
At worst, he would let 'Naruto' sneak out first, and then use the ability 'Civet Cat Prince' to exchange for the positions of the two people.
A twenty-four hour cooldown was nothing. When he went to the Land of Water, he did not know how many twenty-four hours it would take.
Just like this, when he got out of Konoha's door, Aoba immediately found an opportunity to leave the caravan. Then, he used the Transformation Technique to change into another guy appearance, who was only a little less handsome than him, and began to hurry.
Because the Land of Water was in the east direction of Land of Fire, but there was a large ocean between them.
Therefore, he needed to go to the eastern border of Land of Fire first, and then find a way to go to the Land of Water by boat.
On this trip, Aoba had learned a lot. There were several maps in his storage bag. There was no possibility of getting lost.
As they headed east, Aoba's back gradually lengthened.
......
The Land of Water, an island country surrounded by the sea on all sides.
Because transportation was not convenient, apart from some merchants, very few outsiders would enter this country. On the contrary, because of Mizukage's tyranny in recent years, many people had completely fled this country.
Aoba, who had just gotten off the boat and had come to the Land of Water for the first time, was very curious about everything in front of him.
However, after looking at it for a while, he lost interest.
Because the scene in front of him was nothing special, just like an ordinary fishing village. Whenever there was a harvest, people would naturally smile happily. If the harvest was not good, they would be very depressed.
Aoba did not stop and continued to go deeper.
Fortunately, he was not the only one wearing a cloak, so he was not particularly eye-catching.
Walking in this small border town gave Aoba had the biggest feeling of emptiness, and everyone was in a hurry. Whether it was the civilians or the ninjas with forehead guard, they seemed to be extremely vigilant, maintaining a relatively safe distance from the people around them.
It was as if in this place, people had lost the most basic trust between them.
Not long after he left, he saw two ninjas from Kirigakure fighting on the big street.
The other ninjas did not have any intention of stepping forward to stop him. They only maintained a distance and watched coldly. There were even some who revealed restless expressions.
As for the surrounding civilians, they immediately fled in a hurry to avoid being caught up in it.
Seeing this scene, Aoba's expression was both emotional and enlightened.
This period of time was indeed the darkest and most disorderly period of the Land of Water!
When he saw that 4th Mizukage's tyranny had almost destroyed the entire Kirigakure, and Kirigakure's internal strife had indirectly affected the entire Land of Water.
If a ninja did not have any restrictions and could act wantonly, it would be a disaster for the country!
No wonder he had asked so many boatmen before, but no one was willing to bring him here. He had even kindly advised him not to come here.
The order of the Land of Water was on the verge of collapse.
Aoba did not care about the civil war between Kirigakure and the Ninjas. He quickly detoured around the place and found a relatively clean hotel to stay in.
Because he was close to here, he was probably the first to arrive.
Kakuzu and Biwa Juzou were probably still on the way, and should be able to arrive before the agreed time period.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to approach Kirigakure, who was deep in the mountains. The time he needed to 'become stronger' was limited, and he had to use it at a critical moment.
Then, early in the morning, he was woken up by the noise outside.
He opened the window and saw that the few guys who made trouble on the street yesterday were pulling the car with all their might.
A beautiful woman with dark green eyes and long brown curly hair stood on the tablet.
Her figure was extremely hot, and she also revealed a noble and dignified charm.
However, compared to what she was doing right now, you would find that everything was an illusion!
Pa!
A black whip full of barbs directly whipped the two people pulling the carriage in front of them, causing them to stagger, and at the same time, a cold voice was heard.
"Everyone, watch this! This is the consequence of stirring up a fight and ruining everyone's peaceful life!"
"I, Terumi Mei, will never let go of any rioters! Those who are not afraid of death, come and find me!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
Pa, pa!
With two more whips, the two unlucky thugs, who had been whipped until they were drenched in blood, could only endure the pain and continue to pull the car forward.
Compared to this kind of humiliation and punishment, life was the most important!
And it was said that the people who were caught by this she-devil had all survived. Those who were disobedient would probably be three meters tall.
"Terumi Mei?"
Aoba never thought that he would meet this 5th Mizukage, who was deeply troubled by marriage in such a short time.
However, out of curiosity, he immediately followed him out.
Then he saw that Terumi Mei was not only punishing them in this way, but also killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
Because when they arrived at the place where the two men fought yesterday, Terumi Mei directly jumped out of the car, whipping the whip to make a trembling sound, while staring at the two people, he said: "Look at what you two have done! When you repair these two houses that have been destroyed by you, when will I let you go!"
"Oh right, you are not allowed to use ninjutsu. The materials have been prepared for you. Do it!"
Seeing this, Aoba was both enlightened and surprised!
This method of gathering people's hearts was very clever.
This was a way to punish the lawless ninja and at the same time improve the general public's dislike of Kirigakure Ninjas.
It was really not simple!
