Naruto's graceful style

"That's town."

After traveling for a day and a night, Yuta finally walked out of the forest and saw the town in the distance.

Round thick stone-walled buildings of different heights, as well as wisps of white mist floating in the air, the air seems to be mixed with moist water vapor, which is a typical climate of the water country where it is difficult to see the sun.

To be on the safe side, Yuta used his transformation technique and turned into an ordinary young man with an average appearance, and then walked towards the town.

There are many residents in the town, and they seem to have been affected by the war, but not greatly. That's right, war is a battle between the country and ninjas, and innocent people are rarely harmed unless it is absolutely necessary.

Of course, except for those residents who are very close to the battlefield, they are the fish in the pond who are affected.

Therefore, battlefields are generally chosen in empty and uninhabited places.

"It seems that where I am now should be some distance from the front line."

Walking among the pedestrians on the street, Yuta thought to himself, looking at both sides of the street, observing everything secretly.

Fortunately, no other ninjas were found along the way, so Yuta could find a place to rest peacefully. He touched his pockets all over, and when he was worried about having no money and worrying about unnecessary trouble caused by eating the King's meal, a few angry looks from the side caught his attention.

He looked up and smiled.

About a few minutes later.

Yuta walked out of a remote alleyway, weighing an old money bag in his hand, feeling the weight, and his expression was quite satisfied. In the alleyway behind him, several wretched men rolled their eyes and lay staggering on the ground.

After finding a decent shop, Yuta simply ate something to fill his stomach, then went out for a walk to collect information. He returned to the shop to rest for the night when it got dark, and left the town at dawn the next day.

Next stop is Kirigakure Village.

In the next few days, Yuta concentrated on traveling according to the map of the Kingdom of Water he bought, planning a route with the shortest distance while also avoiding crowded places. It took him almost four days to judge based on the terrain that he was near Kirigakure Village.

There are many mountains and hills everywhere here, with tall trees and dense branches and leaves. It is easy for people to get lost when walking in them.

Yuta slowed down his pace and carefully paid attention to his surroundings. It wasn't until he came to a main road that he lowered his outer guard and hurried on, completely pretending to be an ordinary young man.

On the way, he also met a few passers-by who seemed to be trying to relieve his boredom, so he naturally asked for some information he needed. In the end, the other party even proposed to go to Kirigakure Village together.

Yuta thought about this embarrassing request and readily agreed.

"Young man, what did you do when you left the village?"

"I see that you are not young anymore and have a strong body. Do you have a partner?"

“My parents are fine at home”

""

Along the way, the old man next to him was very interested and asked various questions. Yuta suspected that the old man might have fallen in love with him and wanted to find him a wife. In the end, the old man sighed and lamented the current situation in the village, the impact of the war on ordinary civilians like them, and so on.

Yuta heard it, but didn't say much.

"Old man, the village is almost here."

The journey lasted two or three hours.

Looking at the towering wall made of stones in the distance, Yuta said to his father-in-law who was still sighing with emotion. However, his eyes flickered as he stared at Kirigakure Village, and then returned to normal.

When entering Kirigakure Village, the two Kirito ninjas who held their hands at the gate carefully compared and verified their identities before letting them in.

Yuta couldn't help but feel relieved, secretly thinking that fortunately, the old man next to him acted as a cover, lowering the Kiri Ninja's vigilance, and because of this, the fake certificate he prepared was not exposed.

Everything is going well so far.

However, from now on, he must be more careful.

Entering Kirigakure Village was only the first step, and it was still far from his final goal.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Yuta did not go to the center of the village. Instead, he chose a relatively remote place to stay and started a new round of information collection.

The ghost lamp clan, the secret technique of water transformation

Wait, sir, I will come to visit you soon.

The sky was gray, the air was filled with mist, and it seemed like it might rain at any time.

In a simple tea stall, the tea flag on the top of the bamboo pole flutters and falls with the wind.

An ordinary-looking young man was sitting on one of the wooden tables, drinking slowly. The tables next to him were filled with other guests, muttering about something, and the environment was quite noisy.

The young man held the tea cup to his lips and listened carefully to the voices around him.

This person is Yuta.

This was his second day in Kirigakure Village. He changed between four and five shops, but heard very little useful news.

Among the guests nearby, there were mostly civilians and very few ninjas. It could be seen that the Kirigakure Village's military strength was beginning to enter a tense stage due to the war.

After continuing to sit for a while, Yuta was about to stand up, but was suddenly attracted by the words in some voices and couldn't help but sit back in the chair.

"Have you heard that the Kaguya clan seems to have fallen out with Mizukage-sama?"

"It's true that now is the time for the village to hire people. How dare they do such a thing."

"Who knows that their family is very powerful, and they do this while the village is weak. I see, this kind of blood-lined family does not exist."

"Shh, keep your voice down, you're not afraid of trouble coming out of your mouth."

""

Yuta listened quietly to the conversation of the people next to him, and glanced at the other party from the corner of his eye. It seemed that he should be the ninja who stayed in the village. From this point of view, the coalition of fog ninja and blood successor families on the front line of the Kingdom of Water is not as powerful as it seems.

Yuta's eyes moved, this was good news for Konoha.

Until those fog ninjas left in a hurry, Yuta rested in his seat for a while, and after digesting what they had talked about before, he stood up and slowly disappeared into the crowd on the street.

It was still early, so I continued to the next location to inquire about information.

Although he knew some news about the front line, what he was most concerned about at the moment was the location of the Ghost Lantern clan.

There are too many bloodline limited families in the Mist Ninja, and the architectural style of the houses is very uniform. There is no clear distinguishing feature. It is impossible to tell which family is in which area with the naked eye. If you ask directly, it may arouse suspicion.

After all, the environment he is in now is special. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is walking on thin ice. If he is careless and reveals a flaw, he may add a few more cracks on this basis. It will be strange if he does not fall by then.
