Konoha's Immortal Disciple

Chapter 127
The Land of Fire and the Land of Water face each other across the sea. If you want to get from the Land of Fire to the Land of Water, you can take the waterway directly at the eastern port, or you can travel by land to the Bear Kingdom in the southeast corner of the Fire Land, and then take a boat in turn. Reach the surrounding islands of the country of water, and finally reach the mainland of the country of water.

The death of the fourth Mizukage is very special news for Zabuzhan, which means that his efforts for so many years have been in vain, and the person he wanted to assassinate died naturally after being released from the illusion.

On the other hand, the blood mist in Wuyin Village is gradually dissipating, and his hometown has finally lost the terrifying atmosphere that makes it difficult to move with fear as long as he is in it.

This does not conflict with his ultimate ideal: a peaceful and stable country.

He doesn't care whether it is the generation of Mizukage who controls the power now, or the respected 'Yuan Shi' or some other figure who suddenly appeared.

What he cares about is who can bring real stability to the kingdom of water. As long as someone can achieve this, he will not hesitate to carry his own beheading sword and work for him.

Zai Buzhan knows that he is just a ruthless executioner who can only kill, a tool-like character, a bad person and a bad reputation, but he also hopes to be used by the right people.

Bringing Zabuzhan and Bai with them, the five of them sat on the wooden boat together. The boatman paddled the oars, and the small boat made shallow ripples on the water surface, and wobbled forward.

They shuttled between the small islands, and with several islands as nodes, they connected to the route to the country of water.The thickening of the mist on the water also told them that they were getting closer to the kingdom of water.

Zaibuzhan put his hand into the water, swayed it lightly, and felt the cool touch brought by the water. This was a habit he had to pass the time when he was on a mission in Wuyin Village and was on his way.

But now, after many years of absence, the wandering wanderer has returned to his hometown once again.

Zabuzhan reached out his hand into the mist in the air, trying to push them away, and swung his arms a few times, but it was of no avail.

"Sometimes, I really envy you Konoha." Zabuzhan suddenly said with emotion.

"There is no heavy fog, and you can see the bright sunshine when you wake up in the morning. The residents inside only need to think about how to live better, instead of being afraid of being killed. You have a Hokage with a normal head. After your ninja is injured, their The companion's first reaction was to send him back to the hospital for treatment instead of solving it on the spot."

Zabuzhan said a lot of things in one breath, and these words were the real touches he felt after observing when he was staying in Konoha.

Bai empathized with Zabuzhan and looked at Zabuzhan with sad eyes. He is not just a follower of Zabuzhan, their ideas are actually interlinked.

Jiraiya sat on the bow of the boat and chatted with the boatman, while Hoshino Shu and Naruto looked at Zabuzhan in surprise, it was the first time they saw the indifferent and silent ghost and expressed emotion.

When the old boatman heard the words of Zabuzhan, he turned his head, looked at his guests with his sunken eyes, and felt in his heart that this was not an ordinary business.

"You are all ninjas." The old boatman who had been silent and only focused on paddling made his hoarse voice.

Although at this time, in order to hide their identities, the group of people except Jirai also took off their foreheads, but compared with ordinary people, ninjas have very different physiques and temperaments.

The main reason is that he doesn't cut his face too fierce, and his face is still covered with bandages, for fear that others will not know that he is a bad person.

Hearing what the old boatman said, everyone fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

Zilai also laughed loudly and said, "Haha, you saw it, old man, you can work for the intelligence organization in our village with your eyesight."

"Ha ha……"

The old boatman smiled and replied: "At this time, you ninjas are probably the only ones who dare to take children to the land of water."

"Old man, is the situation in the country of water very bad now?" Jiraiya asked in a tone of pretending to be ignorant.

The old boatman was paddling facing the fog, and his thin but firm back was facing Ziraiya and the others.

"Objectively speaking, I can't say it's good, but it's much better than before. In other words, it can only be regarded as a small fight. It's just a group of naughty boys who recruited a group of ninjas. Mizukage is dead, making a fuss about the 'elder' who is currently in power, spreading rumors and creating civil strife."

"What kind of rumors are they?" Jiraiya asked.

"Ah, it means that the fourth generation of Mizukage has actually been controlled by that 'Master Yuan' all along, and the 'Master Yuan' is the chief culprit of the Blood Mist Village. But I have to say, such words are indeed very deceptive People's hearts."

Zai Buzhan frowned subconsciously when he heard the words "Land of Blood Mist", and asked eagerly:
"So what is it?"

The boatman shook his head and sighed: "Of course not. When I was young, 'Master Yuan' was already famous. He has done many good things to benefit the people of the water town. I believe he will not Change."

Hoshino Shu interjected: "It doesn't make any sense for 'Yuanshi' himself to create a broken country."

"That's right." The boatman nodded.

"Hiss... Huh?" The boatman suddenly remembered something, and he turned his head and squinted at Zai Bu Zhan with his cloudy and deep old eyes.

No longer looking at him in surprise.

He stopped the oars, stared intently for a while, and then slowly said: "That's right, it's you."

"Do you recognize me?" Zabuzhan never had the impression of the old man in front of him in his memory.

"Haha, I recognize you." The old boatman laughed twice.

"I remember many years ago, I heard that a silly boy dared to assassinate the extremely powerful Fourth Mizukage with just a few partners. I felt incredible at the time as if I heard a joke. I have already fled, and as expected, I failed.”

The old boatman's last sentence was a bit lost, and Hoshino Shu felt that even if the old boatman turned his back on him, he could feel that he was putting on a sad face.

Zai Buzhan lowered his head in shame, and said, "I was too young at that time."

The old boatman continued: "Which people in the water town pray for the blood mist to dissipate as soon as possible all day long? Even a failed attempt can bring people hope. I still remember the name of that child."

The old boatman turned his head and smiled honestly at Zai Buzhan.

"It's called... the peach land will never be cut again, right!"

Zai Buzhan raised his head in shock, his eyes were full of trembling light, and his whole body seemed to be shocked by electricity.

"I'm glad you're still alive. Sure enough, good people will be lucky."

No more embarrassment and replied: "I'm not a good person."

Hoshino tree smiled, feeling very happy.
