Beautiful scenery, peaceful and comfortable, this was the Land of Hot Water.
As a country that survived from the Warring States Period, although it was a small country, it was quite powerful, at least before the Third World War, Tangyin Village was famous as a fighting ninja village.
However, the tragedy of the third war caused the Tang Village to suffer heavy losses. In the face of the Cloud's violent attack, the Tang Village was defeated. Not only did they die, but they also lost their fighting spirit. The fighting spirit of the Ninja Village was gone, and they were completely reduced to the bottom of the Ninja Village.
However, today, Tangyin Village was called "The Village That Forgot War". The villagers advocated peace and were keen on pacifism, which was ironic.
"The Village That Forgot War? Haha, is this a joke? "
Because Izu and Takumi were resting, and Aoyama also intended to give everyone a holiday, they decided to stay in the Land of Hot Water. There were many delicious foods here, and the hot springs were excellent. It was a good place to relax, and since they were already here, it would be a waste if they didn't enjoy it.
At this time, a group of people gathered in Takumi's room to chat. They originally came to visit Takumi, but they didn't know why they began to talk nonsense.
Sakai was holding a "Travel Guide to the Country of Hot Water", and he was introducing the various specialties of the Country of Hot Water, beautiful scenic spots, and so on to everyone. When he talked about the Village of Hot Water, the phrase "a village that forgot the war" immediately attracted Kota's ridicule.
"A ninja village that doesn't know war, is it still a ninja village? It's ridiculous. "Kota curled his lips disdainfully, expressing his disdain for Tangyin Village from the bottom of his heart.
The education he received since childhood told him that ninjas existed to kill, and ninjas were originally weapons.
Regarding Kota's point of view, Sakai nodded in agreement. He was born in Root and did the work of killing. It can be foreseen that he will be rolling in a pool of blood for the rest of his life. He also stubbornly believes that ninjas exist for the sake of killing.
The five of them were enthusiastically discussing the meaning of Ninja's existence. Moonlight stood outside the door and listened for a long time. She was speechless for a long time. She didn't know that these guys had the potential to be philosophers. They were all bragging.
The key point was that Tomi and the others were not a big deal, but Youji was also mingling with them and chatting happily.
After standing at the door for a while, Aoyama didn't want to disturb them. She left them to play on their own. It seemed like Takumi was fine, and they didn't have to worry about him suddenly dying.
However, the news that came from the village caught his attention. There was a large-scale battle in the mountains in the south of the Waterfall Country, and it alarmed the Waterfall Ninja and Kiba's border guards. However, after an investigation, they couldn't find a single corpse. There were only traces of a volcanic eruption and a flood at the scene.
After reading the investigation report, Moonlight had an idea in her heart. It was estimated that Itachi and Ghostshark were there to capture the Yonbi Jinchuriki. If she remembered correctly, the Yonbi Jinchuriki had the power of Lava Release.
He didn't know if Uchiha Sasuke knew about this. If he knew, the Snake Squad would have to run around in the wind and rain. As for the matter between Itachi and Sasuke, Aoyama decided not to get involved. The matter of the Uchiha was too complicated, and there were too many grievances involved. It was impossible to judge who was right and who was wrong in one sentence.
There was bound to be a battle between Sasuke and Itachi. Sasuke was determined to pursue Itachi, and Itachi was willing to help him. There was also Black Zetsu and Obito behind them. No one could stop the battle between brothers, and the result was already predestined. Sasuke was bound to lose, and Itachi …
Aoyama had met all kinds of people in his two lives, but none of them were as complicated as Itachi. He was burdened with the sin of killing his own relatives, but he loved his younger brother and the village. He wanted to transcend the shackles of the clan, but he couldn't do it … In the end, the clan was destroyed, and he betrayed the village.
He didn't care whether Sasuke would become evil in the future or not. He only worried about the Time and Space Jutsu, and if he couldn't break it, he wouldn't be able to win. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire the Uchiha Clan's ability to cause trouble is absolutely the first in the Shinobi World. From their ancestor Madara, Obito, Itachi, and Sasuke, none of them were easy to deal with.
Wandering aimlessly, Aoyama's mind wandered, thinking about the things in his heart. His eyes swept through the flowers and strange stones, and crossed the courtyard, and then he was stopped by someone.
"Aoyama -sama, here is an urgent secret letter from Hokage-sama." An Anbu wearing a fox mask and a white trench coat suddenly appeared in the courtyard outside the corridor.
Bai stood on the delicate branches of the large cherry tree in the middle of the courtyard, swaying with the wind. He stared at the captain-level expert of the Dark Squad from behind. He, Bai, was responsible for the defense of the entire manor. There were not many experts who could infiltrate the manor without him noticing. This Dark Squad member was also brought in under his surveillance.
Aoyama frowned, calmed down, took the letter, and opened it directly.
The letter wasn't long, only a few words, and there wasn't even a symbolic greeting. It directly stated that the Mist and Kiba were going to formally establish an alliance, and he was asked to return to the village to participate in the alliance ceremony. As one of the leaders of Kiba, he couldn't be absent from such an important occasion.
Although the letter didn't say anything, it did express one meaning, and that was to use his reputation to add some pressure to the Mist and strive for a dominant position in the alliance.
To put it bluntly, it was to pull him back to the village. Now he has the qualifications to be called one of the pillars of Kiba. His whereabouts and actions will be the focus of attention of the other villages, and it can already be expected that in the coming days, the area around his house will become a lively area where spies will come and go.
"But Kiba and the Mist have formed an alliance, and Sakura Shinobu, humph! The Rock and the Cloud won't sit still. " Aoyama directly rolled the letter into a paper tube, and gently tapped the palm of his hand, thinking about the changes this matter may cause.
As for the Anbu Captain in front of him, Haku politely asked him to leave. The Root Ninjas led by him were enough to protect the village, and there was no need for the Anbu to help.
"Haku, the Mist and Konoha are about to form an alliance. Are you interested in going back to the Water Country?" Tsukuyomi asked Haku as she leaned on the wooden railing beside the pool.
"… I'm not interested, there are not many happy memories for me there." Bai said calmly. Ever since Zabuzai was killed, he no longer had any feelings for the Water Country. Even the Beheader Broadsword had changed owners and fallen into the hands of Shui Yue, that brat.
"Is that so?" Aoyama squinted his eyes, looking at the red carps in the clear pool below, and there were circles of ripples on the surface of the water. He couldn't calm down for a moment.
