Orochi Maru, wearing an ordinary kimono, was walking alone in the major towns of the Land of Water.
Because of Sasori, he didn't leave the Land of Water as planned, and because there is almost no enemy in the Land of Water that needs him and Sasori to deal with, so he didn't stay with Sasori.
The turmoil in the Mist Village has been going on for a long time.
And this turmoil almost exhausted all the vitality of the Mist Village. Several famous families in the Mist Village, such as Kaguya and Yukiichi, were destroyed one after another, and the clansmen with Kekkei Genkai either died or fled, scattered everywhere.
Fortunately, the Land of Water is located in a remote corner, and the neighboring Muye and Kumo are in a confrontation, so they don't have the energy to care about other things. Otherwise, whether the Mist Village can survive or not is unknown.
Suddenly, a strong man with a sharp blade blocked Orochi Maru's way and said fiercely: "Hand over the money!"
Orochimaru stretched out his slender tongue and wiped it slightly on his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "An idiot who can't even feel the danger, it's really sad."
The strong man was furious: "You want to die!"
Clang …
Before the strong man's voice fell, the sharp blade in his hand slipped from his fingers and fell to the ground.
Lowering his head with difficulty, he suddenly discovered that a green snake that was only as thick as a finger had bitten his throat.
Orochi Maru passed by the strong man, from beginning to end, his hand didn't leave his pocket.
The strong man fell to the ground, no breath left his body.
After wandering in the Land of Water for so long, there are very few people who dare to find trouble with Orochimaru, because even the weakest Mist ninjas can feel the cold aura emanating from Orochimaru's body, which makes it impossible for strangers to get close to him.
Only a pure civilian murderer like the strong man would foolishly come forward to die.
From this, it can be seen that the turmoil in the Land of Water is not only limited to the ninja class, the lives of the civilians have also been seriously affected, the whole Land of Water can be said to be in chaos.
After turning a corner, Orochi Maru suddenly stopped. His eyes were attracted by a pile of rubbish in the corner.
In front of the garbage dump, a ragged child was squatting on the ground, tearing up a small ball of black bread and distributing it to a few thin stray cats. The small stray cats meowed and were extremely intimate with the child.
"Hmm, what a nice Chakra!"
Orochi Maru licked his lips and walked slowly to the garbage dump.
The sudden approach of Orochi Maru made the child feel afraid. He curled up and wanted to hide in the corner, but when he thought of the little wild cats under his feet, he gritted his teeth and opened his arms to protect the little wild cats.
Orochi Maru looked at the skinny child in front of him, then glanced at the bread crumbs the child fed to the stray cats, and asked, "What's your name?"
The child carefully replied, "My name is Bai."
Staring at Bai's pure and clean eyes, Orochi Maru shook his head, then turned around and left.
The child himself was as thin as a stick, but he still shared the remaining food with the little wild cats. Even if he has a nice Chakra, such a kind child is not suitable to be a ninja. So with just a glance, Orochi Maru dispelled the idea of taking the child away.
But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, because he recalled that child named Shigo.
Jugo was a child who could absorb Nature Energy, and it was precisely because of this child that Orochimaru added a new research project called 'Curse Seal' to his research project.
Looking back at Haku, Orochi Maru murmured, "Such a pure child, maybe he can bear that kind of power."
At this moment, a figure landed beside Orochi Maru. He was none other than Orochi Maru's partner, Sasori.
Sasori glanced at the thin Haku in the corner, then turned to Orochi Maru and said, "Let's go, the person I'm looking for has appeared!"
Orochi Maru smiled and said, "Are you sure you're looking for a person, not a corpse?"
Sasori gritted his teeth and said, "I will turn him into a corpse!"
Orochi Maru rarely saw Sasori so angry, so he pretended to be casual and asked, "Who are you looking for? I don't have the time to follow you around! "
"A ninja of your Muye!"
Land of Wind.
With the help of Kusanagi, after a month, Hyōjin finally found the traces of the Roran Survivors.
Over a sand dune, Roran pointed to the conspicuous oasis in the distance and said to Hyōjin, "The Roran Survivors you are looking for are there!"
Hyōjin looked over and saw a circle of caravans parked outside the oasis. Sparse figures were coming and going in the workshop, some were fetching water from the oasis, some were taking care of camels and sheep, and some were making a fire to cook.
Frowning, Hyōjin wondered, "Why are there so few people?"
The entire convoy next to the oasis is only two or three hundred people, which is far less than Kuroto's expectation. In his opinion, the number of Roran survivors may not be that many, but it shouldn't be as few as two or three hundred.
A local guide found by the Kusanagi quickly explained to Suijin, "Since the Roran City was abandoned, these Roran survivors have lost their livelihood, some have left, some have left, and some have died, this is all that is left."
Hyōjin asked again, "Even if there is no town, their life should not be so miserable, right?"
Just as the guide wanted to explain, he suddenly saw something, so he pointed to the distance: "Look!"
Hyōjin looked in the direction of the guide's finger and saw two Sand Crypsis ninjas coming to the oasis and negotiating with the Roran Survivors there.
Both sides seemed to be a bit unhappy. After a quarrel, the two Sand Crypsis ninjas left the oasis and gradually disappeared in the sand.
Hyōjin asked, "Why are the Sand Crypsis ninjas here?"
The guide sighed and said, "I heard that the Sand Crypsis has been collecting taxes from these Roran Survivors. The two Sand Crypsis ninjas should be here to collect taxes."
Hyōjin pondered a little and understood the intention of the Sand Crypsis.
How much tax can a convoy of two or three hundred people collect?
The Sand Crypsis did this, firstly, to use this as an excuse to monitor the Roran Survivors. Secondly, it may be that they want to use economic pressure to make the Roran Survivors completely submit to the Sand Crypsis Village.
In this way, the Sand Crypsis can legitimately occupy the Dragon Vein.
Hyōjin felt that these little tricks of the Sand Crypsis were very normal. After all, it would be really abnormal if the Sand Crypsis did not care about such a huge source of Chakra like the Dragon Vein!
The Kusanagi ninja Long Lan asked, "Mr. Mu, do you need to go and confirm the person you are looking for?"
Hyōjin shook his head. "No need."
Long Lan said, "In that case, what about our mission this time?"
