Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

As an island country, the natural scenery of Hot Spring Country is different from the places I have visited before. Compared with the distinct four seasons in Fire Country and the desert sand in Wind Country, walking in Hot Spring Country you can feel the breath of sea breeze.

The trees on both sides of the road became more and more lush as we walked. As we went further north, we could see that the road became gradually rugged and steeper, no longer as flat as the Corner City.

We walked and stopped along the way and saw different scenery. After more than half an hour, we could finally see several overlapping mountains in the distance ahead, extending continuously to the north.

Odagiri pointed to the faintly visible foot of the mountain ahead and said, "The mountain range ahead is what the people of Yu-no-Kuni call the Hot Spring Mountain. There are many hot springs of all sizes scattered throughout the mountain, and there are nearly a dozen hot spring hotels built based on the hot springs."

Odagiri continued, "The most famous one is a hot spring hotel called Yuzawa on the hillside, which is famous for its constant water temperature all year round."

Looking around, I can see various signs scattered among the mountains starting from the foot of the mountain. There are probably less than ten of them. The sign of Yuzawa that Odagiri mentioned is also among them. It is located halfway up the mountain and seems to have about a dozen rooms. It is considered to be a larger hotel here.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, we found that the environment here was quiet and the scenery was pleasant. It was indeed a good place to relax. After passing several hot spring hotels at the foot of the mountain, Odagiri and I continued to walk towards the mountainside, and soon we arrived at the door of Yuzawa Hotel.

The buildings here are actually not complicated or luxurious. It is just a simple room built next to a natural hot spring, with a low bed as the only furnishing. It is full of natural interest.

When Odagiri and I arrived, there were not many customers. The two girls at the front desk were chatting. When they saw me and Odagiri, they stood up and asked, "Welcome. Do you want to take a hot spring bath or stay overnight?"

"First, take a hot spring bath, then stay overnight." Odagiri took out the silver the captain gave him when he got off the ship and put it on the counter: "Let's make the arrangements now."

As Okisuke's friend and a jonin of Konoha, I am not short of money, but neither Director Ito of the Sakura Chamber of Commerce nor the captain of the fleet have any intention of letting me pay out of pocket. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all covered, and there is even an additional escort fee after we arrive in the Land of Water.

"Okay, please follow me, two guests." One of the girls, who was wearing a floral kimono and a bun, bowed slightly to us and raised her hand to guide us forward.

We needed to change clothes before taking a hot spring bath. The girl took us to a house, handed us two keys, and introduced: "This is the locker room for male guests. After the two guests enter, choose a set of yukatas of the right size and put them on. Then I will take you to the hot spring."

Odagiri and I nodded and entered the dressing room. The furnishings here were also very simple. There were two rows of wardrobes against the wall, and on them were pure white and clean yukatas arranged according to size.

I took out the key that the girl had just given me, opened a cabinet and put my clothes in it, then took out a yukata and changed into it. At the same time, Odagiri also changed into a yukata and walked out of the locker room with me.

The girl was waiting at the door. When she saw us change our clothes, she said, "Dear guests, we have two large hot springs here, which are for mixed bathing, and a dozen small separate hot springs. What kind of service do you need?"

"Is there any difference between these hot springs?" asked Odagiri.

The girl responded: "No, all the hot springs come from the same underground river, they are just distributed in different depressions and of different sizes."

Odagiri looked at me and asked for my opinion: "Hinata-sama, please see..."

"Let's take two single hot springs. I like some quiet time." I said to the girl who led the way.

"Okay, please follow me, two guests." When the girl heard my request, she bowed and motioned us to follow her forward, passing through the resting rooms and buildings, and into the mountains.

There are several hot springs scattered everywhere, with few traces of artificial enclosures. They are basically naturally formed hot springs. Some stones are laid at the bottom of the hot springs, and wisps of hot air float above the water, showing the temperature of the hot spring.

"The two guests can choose for themselves. This section is for single-person hot springs." The girl pointed to several hot springs in front and introduced them to Odagiri and me.

Odagiri and I nodded and each chose a neighboring hot spring to step into. The water temperature was not the kind of boiling hot spring, but a hot spring of about 40 degrees. Immersing in it made me feel warm, comfortable and relaxed.

"Little sister, please bring a pot of sake and a snack for me and Lord Hinata." Odagiri said to the girl when he saw me lying on my back with my eyes closed in the hot spring, enjoying the soak.

Drinking sake while soaking in a hot spring is a unique culture of the ninja world. As a hot spring hotel, it is natural to have this service, so the girl nodded naturally: "Okay, please wait a moment."
