Naruto: Listen to the bow sound, resounding throughout the ninja world

Two days later, Team July officially set foot on the land of the Water Kingdom.

We have been working at full speed without sleep for the past two days, even though July has the Yin Seal plug-in.

It almost couldn't sustain the consumption.

Nanayue and Jūgo followed the crowd with dark circles under their eyes.

Now they are eager to find a town or village to stay and have a good rest.

But we have Karin, an enhanced radar, in the team.

They don't have to run around like headless chickens.

Soon, under the guidance of Karin, July and his friends found a not-so-large village.

The population is only a few dozen people.

This can't even be called a village; a small gathering place is more appropriate.

After some negotiations between Nana and Karin, the village chief reluctantly allowed them to stay.

After all, they are strangers, and July and the others are dressed as ninjas.

In the Land of Water, ninja is not a good word.

That is to say, Nanazuki and Karin are both girls, and they are good-looking.

If Itachi and the others came to negotiate, the village chief would probably chase them away.

Mizuki had previously introduced to them the customs and culture of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water.

In other countries, civilians are very afraid of ninjas, so they dare not offend them easily.

But here, the civilians only have hatred for the ninjas.

As long as you dare to use force, they will fight you at the risk of the lives of the entire village.

Either you die or they die. There are only two outcomes.

They stayed there with difficulty, and July took out a few 10,000 ryo bills and gave them to Karin.

Let her go buy some food from the village chief.

But Nanayue and Shigeo couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was completely dark.

Inside the dilapidated thatched hut, Itachi and his companions had already started a fire.

Food was being cooked over the fire.

But when July took a dazed look at it, she couldn't help feeling nauseous.

Because in addition to the pot on the fire rack, there are other foods next to the fire pit.

That was fish. They had been traveling on the vast ocean for the past two days and had eaten countless fish.

Now in July, I can't help but feel nauseous when I see fish.

"Even if I die today, I will not eat another bite of fish, Karin. Is there nothing else to eat in this village except fish?"

"Haven't you had enough fish these past two days? Why are you buying more fish?"

Karin, who was being questioned, looked aggrieved.

"It's not that I want to buy fish, but this village is built by the sea."

"Their livelihood comes from fishing, and I want to buy some other food."

"But the old village chief said those were their supplies for the next few months. He wouldn't sell them at all."

"I can't help it. I just managed to buy a little bit of rice from them."

"The rest can only be replaced with various fish."

After hearing Karin's explanation, Nana felt terrible.

She looked at the small pot on the fire.

Even if it was filled with rice, it would not be enough to fill my stomach.

But at this time, Karin spoke again.

"July, the fish this time is different from the fish we eat at sea."

"They gave us their secret grilled fish seasoning that they have been researching for many years."

“We all tried it, it was delicious.”

"How about you try it first?"

Speaking of the taste, the others all looked as if they were savoring the taste, which made July undecided.

Is it really that delicious?

As a foodie, she picked up a fish from the fire pit with the intention of giving it a try.

I looked at it carefully first and found that there seemed to be a thin layer of sauce on the fish.

Then I put it in front of my nose and smelled it. Hmm, it didn’t have that disgusting fishy smell.

At this point, July's resistance finally subsided a little.

She opened her mouth and took a small bite.

Qiyue's eyes suddenly brightened. She no longer cared about the heroic words she had just said.

This fish is so delicious and fragrant.

She couldn't wait to scoop the rice from the pot, taking a bite of fish and a bite of rice at once.

Until the rice in the pot was gone, all the more than ten roasted fish weighing two pounds were eaten.

July then leaned back in satisfaction, supporting her body with one hand and touching her belly with the other.

"As expected of a fishing village, the research on fish has reached the pinnacle."

"I told you, eating fish every day is bound to make you sick of it."

"I must cook it in different ways to satisfy my taste buds."

"Karin, which family did you buy this secret seasoning from?"

"Before you leave, ask if you can buy more, or ask him for a recipe."

"We can do it ourselves then."

Seeing Karin's next answer, July's enthusiasm was quickly dampened.

"After we finished eating it, we thought it was delicious, so I went to ask about it."

"They said it was a secret recipe, but they rejected me outright."

"I bought some ready-made ones instead. People didn't refuse them."

"So you see, I used the rest of your money to buy these big jars."

"People say this sauce keeps for a long time."

“Two or three years is not a problem.”

July picked up the jar that Karin handed over, opened it and smelled it.

Well, at least it wasn't a complete failure.

Itachi now sat next to July and unfolded a map that he had gotten from somewhere.

Then he pointed to a place on the map.

"This is Baichuan Town, not too far from here."

"But the village chief here told me that there is something strange in that town."

"There are often caravans passing by that disappear collectively."

"I originally suspected Orochimaru, but the time provided by the village chief doesn't match up."

"Karin said that this base of Orochimaru was built temporarily."

"Usually, the materials for experiments are given to his subordinates."

"But Mizuki Karin and the others have never carried out a capture mission in this place."

"Then we have to be careful."

July was thinking about the information Itachi had just introduced.

A group of people disappeared? Didn't the time match with Orochimaru's arrival here?

Soon, Qiyue's gaze swept over Mizuki and Karin.

Shigego? He didn't mention it, according to his own account.

He never went on any arrest missions, and he didn't care about anything going on in the base.

So he had no idea about Orochimaru's information.

"Suigetsu, you are the central base, Jūgo is the northern, and Karin is the southern."

"Since there are Central, South, and North, are there also two bases in the East and West?"

"Do you know these two bases?"

After hearing this, Suigetsu and Karin shook their heads decisively.

Then Shuiyue spoke.

“In the past, there were two bases, east and west.”

"The western base is right next to the Sand Village, and the eastern base is in a similar geographical location to the southern base."

"It's a small island next to the Land of Thunder."

"But these two bases were eliminated several years ago."

"The western base was destroyed by Scorpion, and the eastern base was destroyed by the Raikage and Killer Bee."

"Now only our three bases are still operating normally."

"And according to the rules set by Orochimaru, each base is responsible for its own area, and other bases cannot interfere."

"Avoid being noticed."

"So if Karin didn't capture people from here, then it's even less likely that it was done by Orochimaru's men in other bases."

emmmmmm, Shuiyue’s words directly denied July’s previous speculation.

This matter is a bit strange, the disappearances have continued for so many years.

Regardless of whether the Water Kingdom cares or not, at least with Mei Terumi now the Mizukage, it is impossible for them to turn a blind eye to this matter.

But it has been nearly two years since Mei Terumi took office.

The disappearances in this town are still continuing.

No wonder Orochimaru asked Karin to bring people here.

There's definitely something weird about this town.
