The Land Of Snow

Kentaro was slowly waking up, he stood up and looked around. He noticed that they were underground.

Kentaro walked towards Mū and gave little slaps to wake him up.

When opened his eyes and saw how Kentaro was looking at him, he thought that he had lost control.

He jumped to the right and manipulated the earth to create a stone sword. The stone sword could not cut, but it could knock down.

Mū swung the stone blade down towards Kentaro's neck. With one motion of his forearm, Kentaro broke the stone blade.

"Calm down Mū." seeing that Kentaro could speak properly and was not drooling, Mū put his guard down.

"I'm sorry, I thought that you had lost control." Mū formed hand seals and they returned to the surface.

Kentaro looked towards the waterfall and saw all the dead bodies, he was shocked to see how savagely they had been killed.

"You should not kill your enemies like that, Mū. It's not good for your mental health, unless you want to become a psychopath."

Mū stayed silent and looked at Kentaro for a couple of seconds.

"It is you who has killed them, not me. You lost control of your mind and killed them like a savage beast."

Kentaro had hard to believe what Mū had said. When he looked at his nails, he saw how bloody they were.

Kentaro had killed so many shinobi without knowing it. He was a danger for the people who were near him.

"Kentaro, what could have triggered your mind into going mad?" Mū tried to understand what exactly caused Kentaro to lose his mind.

"I...when I saw how they fought, I could feel a strange kind of energy taking over me. I lost control over myself and did that...I guess."

Mū found it very interesting to hear about a sort of unknown energy. He walked besides Kentaro and patted his back.

"Things happen, but they always happen for something. They talked about a secret jutsu, I wonder what it could be."

Kentaro was still looking at his bloody nails, he could only forget about what he had done.

"A secret jutsu...are you interested in it?" to this, Mū nodded his head.

"Then let us find it."

The duo ran towards where the supposed shinobi in possession of the jutsu escaped.

Kentaro could see their footsteps and followed them while staying aware of their surroundings.

The two of them walked on top of a hill and overlooked the whole area. A large camp could be seen.

"Kentaro, I suppose that they must be in the camp...with the secret jutsu."

"Undoubtedly. This camp is pretty large, there must be a lot of shinobi inside of it."

Kentaro tried to fly by using the light-weight rock jutsu, he couldn't manage to manipulate his chakra properly.

Mū noticed how weirdly his chakra was flowing, when he thought that the situation could not worsen, it did.

"Kentaro, if you can't manage to use your chakra, then don't force it. I can't take care of thousands of Shinobi by myself, it's better if we forget about it."

Kentaro felt like shit, he couldn't use jutsus of any sort. Mū slowly flew the other way, Kentaro followed suit.

The two of them resumed the travel in silence, Kentaro was thinking about how he could solve his problem.

They encountered no enemies or people during their travel across the land of waterfalls.

The wheater was getting colder the more they got closer to the next destination. Far away, they saw lots of people entering the land of waterfalls.

They looked like nomads, they had big clothes made of animal skin. They had snow all over them.

They were so many that Kentaro could not count them all. A group of Shinobi blocked the people's path.

Kentaro tapped on Mū's arm with the back of his hand.

"Mū, let's see what it's all about."

The two of them walked towards them. The people's attention averted to Kentaro.

They had never seen a man who was so tall and looking like a savage. The Shinobi also looked at him.

"What bussines do you have with those people?" Mū asked to one of the Shinobi.

"They are people from the neighboring land of snow. They want to come and live here on our clan's territory. We can't let them pass."

Kentaro saw how some of them were injured, those injuries seemed to be caused by a katana.

Kentaro walked in front of the group of people, he wanted to address them all.

"Good people, my friend and I plan to enter the land of snow. From what I heard, you come from there. I would like to get some information on what is happening there."

An old woman came forward and explained the situation to Kentaro and Mū.

"We, the people, are been killed for being against them."

"Them?" asked Mū.

"Yes, the Kazahana clan is taking control over the whole country. They have killed all the feudal lord's, proclaiming their clan leader as the one and only feudal lord of the country."

This was not something that happened everyday. To see one feudal lord take control over a whole country in this period is rare.

"Yes! The Kazahana clan killed our people for being against them! We are good farmers, we can work for your clan!"

A man said this to the Shinobi of the land of the waterfalls. They shooked their heads, showing their disagreement.

"My name is Kentaro Fujimoto! People of the land of snow, travel until you enter the land of earth. Find the Fujimoto clan and say that you have come from me."

The people were visibly happy, someone had given them a chance. Kentaro turned to look at the Shinobi.

"Your clan is tasked to escort those good people to the border of the land of earth."

The Shinobi had heard Kentaro's name, It had spread all over the land of the waterfalls.

He was the famous Shinobi With The Straw Hat, the one who had singlehandly defeated the great Yochida clan and its allies.

"We...we will escort them! It is our great honor!" they dared not refuse.

"Haha, mister Kentaro, we will always remember this for the centuries to come. This is for you and this one is for you."

The old woman gave clothes to both Kentaro and Mū. Kentaro wore the big fur clothes and boots, Mū did the same.

The two of them passed the border, wherever they looked was filled with snow and ice.

They had entered the land of snow.
