Chapter 265: Land of Rice Fields
"No, it's impossible to break through his defense at all..."
Kimimaro, who was knocked to the side and lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and said. The force of the rebound just now had hit him hard. After all, with Yu's current strength, even if he used ordinary Water Release Ninjutsu, its power could not be underestimated.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you planning to give up like this? Both of you!"
Yu's Shadow Clone maintained the hand seals, watching them with interest across the constantly rushing water curtain, with a playful smile on his face.
"There's no other way..."
"It seems we can only try our most powerful technique..."
Haku and Kimimaro, unwilling to give up, exchanged glances, nodding firmly at each other.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
Haku's hands turned into a blur in front of him, swiftly launching an attack. The lengthy hand seals quickly formed in an instant. It must be said that in Ninjutsu and hand seals talent, Haku truly stood out.
Utilizing the water environment formed by the surrounding Water Release Ninjutsu, a robust water dragon roared into existence out of nowhere, swiftly breaking through the Water Wall defense created by Yu's Shadow Clone with astonishing momentum.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Willow!!"
At the same time, Kimimaro also leaped up from the ground suddenly, sharp bones protruding from every joint of his body.
Running swiftly alongside the roaring water dragon, his stern little face tense, his eyes gleaming with fierce determination, Kimimaro charged towards Yu's Shadow Clone with an unstoppable momentum.
"Hmm... Impressive momentum..."
"You two coordinate quite well..."
Watching the attacks launched by Haku and Kimimaro in perfect harmony, Yu nodded in satisfaction with his arms crossed in front of him.
Boom!!
The next moment, the robust water dragon directly collided with Yu's Shadow Clone, followed closely by a multitude of bone spikes from Kimimaro's body, resembling thorns, intent on tearing Yu's Shadow Clone into pieces.
Boom!!
However, just before the attacks from Haku and Kimimaro landed, Yu's Shadow Clone was suddenly recalled by Yu, turning into a white mist and disappearing into thin air on the spot.
"It... It disappeared?!"
"Yu-sama, you're cheating!!"
Seeing their attacks rendered futile by this scene, both Haku and Kimimaro were stunned, then turned back angrily to glare at Yu, who was leisurely lying under the tree.
"Hahaha..."
"Let's call it quits for today's practical training!"
Seeing the frustrated expressions of the two youngsters, Yu slowly stood up from the ground under the tree, looking satisfied at Haku and Kimimaro. "Both of you have made great progress. It seems that in the two years I've been away, you haven't neglected your training!"
The strength of the two young men, Haku and Kimimaro, considering their own Kekkei Genkai, had barely reached the level of Chunin. Overall, Yu was quite satisfied that they had made such significant progress in just two years.
If they continue to progress at this rate, at least before the plot begins, Yu is confident that both of them will reach the level of Jonin. If they add Ice Release and Shikotsumyaku's Kekkei Genkai, even ordinary Jonin would not be a match for these two youngsters.
"Now that the situation in Konoha has settled, what's next..."
After praising the two youngsters, Yu looked up at the sky, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through the distant horizon. "It's time to find out the locations to learn Sage Mode..."
Although Yu's current strength is already formidable, in the upcoming plot, whether it's the extraordinary Dojutsu of various Mangekyo Sharingan, the world-ending power of the Rinnegan, or even the elusive Tenseigan on the moon, they will all pose significant obstacles on his path forward.
If he doesn't strive for progress and find ways to gain more and stronger power, he believes that the future days will become very passive.
"And then there's that guy Orochimaru..."
"Although he's not the direct murderer, he's still involved in Nono's death. I won't let him get away with it."
Thinking of this, Yu couldn't help but once again remember the deceased Nono. Although Orochimaru didn't kill Nono, he was one of Danzo's accomplices. After the hasty battle in the Land of Earth last time, Yu had secretly resolved to make Orochimaru live the rest of his life in fear.
"Among the three major Senjutsu sacred places, the relationship with Mount Myoboku has soured. Only Tsunade knows the whereabouts of Shikkotsu Forest."
"So the only choice left is Ryuchi Cave. I've heard that Orochimaru has recently established the Hidden Sound Village in the Land of Rice Fields. It's the perfect opportunity to go look for that guy or whatever he is right now"
After making up his mind, Yu directly controlled Kaio to open the door to the alternate dimension, and instantly disappeared from the original place with Haku and Kimimaro.
...
Land of Rice Fields.
This is a small country sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. It has weak national strength, no Ninja village of its own, and its Daimyo seems to be an incompetent ruler.
Therefore, the rogue ninja Orochimaru from Konoha, with the legendary fame and power of one of the Three Sannin, easily persuaded the Daimyo of this country. He established the Hidden Sound Village here and occupied the Land of Rice Fields, making it his main base from then on.
That being said, within the Land of Rice Fields, there are also some bustling and prosperous towns. Everywhere, there are lush green hills and continuous blue grass, making people can't help but feel joyful.
It must be said that there is still not much industrial pollution in the world of Naruto, whether it's the environment or the air, it's much better than what Yu experienced in his previous life.
After arranging a hotel for Haku and Kimimaro to stay for the night, Yu stepped into the streets of the town in the Land of Rice Fields.
Judging by the size of this small town, it should be the largest town between the border of the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Frost. Merchants, ninjas, and wanderers come and go in a constant stream, making it a bustling and lively town.
Observation Haki spread out, and a vast Sensory range covered the entire town in front of Yu. Among them, there were even some powerful ninjas worth Yu's attention. Pushing through the crowded streets, Yu was about to search for his target to inquire about the location of the Hidden Sound Village.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a slender figure fell heavily at Yu's feet.
"Hahaha... Even such a small fry dares to come out and compete for missions with us?!"
"Indeed, in a country without a Ninja village, their strength is only at this level, right?!"
Looking up, Yu saw three rugged-looking ninjas laughing recklessly, pointing at the slender ninja lying at his feet, mercilessly mocking. From the headbands on their foreheads, it was evident that they were from the Hidden Waterfall Village.
The ninja lying in the ground appeared to be only six or seven years old, perhaps even younger than Kimimaro. She didn't wear a headband, her forehead adorned with bright orange long hair, surprisingly a fair and beautiful little girl.
