Although it seemed that he was wandering aimlessly in the Land of Water, Yūya's first destination was the Mist Village. Since the Akatsuki's base was in the Land of Water, it was most likely related to the Mist Village.
Maybe the Mist Village was completely controlled by the Akatsuki just like in the original work.
Moving forward, Yūya gradually entered an area covered with ice and snow. Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, falling on Yūya's shoulders and hair, but before they could completely stabilize, they were gently bounced off by a strange force.
The color of the snowflakes was whiter than the color of Yūya's hair.
The last time he went to the Land of Iron, he also saw such a snowy scene, but at that time, Yūya had things to do, he had to deal with the Five Kages and the Dragon Vein, so he didn't have time to enjoy the snowy scene.
Now, what Naito wanted to do was to experience the transformation of his soul. Coupled with the fact that he was fully releasing his Ultra Perceive, Naito couldn't move at full speed, so he slowed down a lot. Therefore, he was able to perceive the snowy scenery within a radius of a few miles, making it extremely clear to Naito.
The range of dozens of miles was clear at a glance, and every snowflake's trajectory could be clearly sensed. This feeling was like a beautiful painting by the gods.
Walking and walking, at the end of Yūya's perception range, a small town appeared.
The town wasn't on Yūya's path, but it was in a slightly different position. Yūya didn't pay attention to it and continued to move forward.
But when the town was completely in the range of Yūya's perception, Yūya suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an inexplicable look.
…
In the snow-covered town, a weak-looking child about five or six years old was quietly sitting in the snow on the side of the street.
The clothes on his body were very thin and shabby, obviously, he was a homeless orphan, begging on the ice and snow on the street, but the passers-by basically ignored his existence and hurried past him.
Although his small face was a little dirty, he was still very fresh and refined, coupled with his weak temperament, he didn't look like a boy, but a little bit like a girl.
Even in this ice and snow, he didn't seem to feel the cold at all, the ice and snow couldn't make him tremble, but he was still trembling.
Because he was hungry.
Begging in this snow was a very difficult thing in itself.
The ice and snow couldn't take away the heat from his body, but without food, the heat in his body was gradually decreasing.
At this time, a piece of bread suddenly fell in front of him.
A glimmer of light appeared in his blank eyes. Although his body was a little stiff, he immediately raised his head and looked at the person who threw the bread to him.
"Thank … Thank you."
Even though he was so hungry that he wanted to swallow the bread immediately, he still thanked the person who gave him the bread with a trembling voice.
The figure in front of him was dressed in a white robe, coupled with his snow-white hair, standing in the snow, he seemed to be one with the ice and snow, making him, who was holding the bread, slightly dazed.
In this ice and snow weather, it was rare to see someone dressed like this, and the temperament was also something he had never seen before, as if he was one with the whole world, with a feeling of transcendence.
After pursing his lips, he lowered his head and chewed on the bread.
Yūya looked at the youth in front of him, his eyes flashing with an indescribable look, not out of pity, but because Yūya was very familiar with this youth's identity.
To be able to kneel on the street in this ice and snow, and still not freeze, as if ignoring the cold, such a physique, he was from the Yueyue clan, which had the Ice Escape Bloodline Limit.
Possessing the Ice Escape Bloodline, and appearing here at this time, plus his age, there shouldn't be any accidents, he should be Bai.
Looking at Bai, who was chewing on the bread, Yūya's heart was slightly touched.
Bai, who has the Ice Escape Bloodline Limit, can be said to have a higher starting point than ordinary people, after all, even in the Yueyue clan, there are not many people who have the Ice Escape Bloodline Limit, just like the people of the Uchiha clan, not everyone has the Sharingan.
However, in the Land of Fire, the Bloodline Limit is regarded as an excellent talent, but in the Land of Water, because of the war and various policies of the higher-ups, it is regarded as a cursed person.
In the village where Bai was born, the villagers were afraid and hated the power of the Bloodline Limit. Bai's mother had the Bloodline Limit and hid it as a secret, until Bai was found to have the same Bloodline Limit. After Bai's father found out, he led the villagers to kill Bai's mother, but when they were about to kill Bai, the frightened Bai inadvertently used the Bloodline Limit and killed everyone.
Since then, Bai became an orphan and wandered around.
Because of these things, Bai was afraid of this talent, and like the villagers who were killed by him, he regarded this talent as a curse, and lived a confused and muddle-headed life of begging.
Someone similar to Bai, and Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan, also had no goal, and was confused and muddle-headed. If Bai didn't meet Momochi Zabuza, and Kimimaro didn't meet Orochi Maru, they might not have found the meaning of their lives.
He didn't expect to meet him in this small town.
"What's your name?"
Yūya stood there quietly, looking at the boy who finished eating the bread, and asked softly.
"Bai …"
The boy's answer was not beyond Yūya's expectation, after all, there are not many people in this world who have awakened the Ice Escape Bloodline Limit, and he just happened to be at this age, begging in the Land of Water.
Bai's eyes were slightly evasive, he didn't know why Yūya stayed here. Even if people give him something to eat, they will basically throw it away and leave, and they won't care about him at all.
Bai quickly finished the bread given by Yūya, and seeing that Yūya hasn't left, he couldn't help but ask weakly.
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
Hearing Bai's question, Yūya smiled and said: "I need you to come with me."
After that, Yūya turned around and walked out of the town.
Bai stood there in a daze, looking at Yūya's back, he didn't know what to do for a while.
It wasn't until Yūya's back was about to disappear in the vast snow at the end of the street that he suddenly woke up, struggled hard, stood up, staggered a little, and chased after Yūya.
Bai, who felt that he had been abandoned by the world, suddenly heard that someone needed him, as if a ray of light appeared in the dark world, and he couldn't help but desperately grab that ray of light.
Yūya's back was that ray of light.
