The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 150 Be My Partner

The Land of Water.

In the freezing cold of a snowy day, Kimimaro bought a thick coat but didn't wear it himself.

Instead, he carefully held the clothes in his arms and ran in one direction.

Qian Yaoren wasn't in a big hurry after finding the person.

He also wanted to know where Kimimaro had been lately without Orochimaru.

And judging from what he just did, it seems like he deliberately lured others to rob him, then killed them and searched for their bodies.

Kimimaro soon arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.

The Land of Water is in chaos, with dilapidated houses like this everywhere.

Half of the courtyard wall has collapsed, and half of the house inside has also collapsed.

Only one room had a roof, and a bonfire was burning outside.

A child even thinner than Kimimaro was cooking meat, dried vegetables, and rice in a pot by the fire.

Despite the harsh weather, the child was dressed very lightly.

But his expression was gentle, and he did not show any resentment because of his poor external conditions.

"white!"

Kimimaro breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Anquan.

He clenched the clothes in his hands, looking somewhat excited.

Bai also stood up: "Come and eat something."

Kimimaro quickly ran to Shiro's side: "Why didn't you wait for me inside the house?"

Bai shook his head: "It'll be warmer near the fire. What did you take?"

Kimimaro quickly shook the things in his hands, and Shiro felt a warmth on his body as he was wrapped in a thick garment.

"These are the clothes I bought for you." Kimimaro's eyes gleamed.

Bai looked down at his thick cotton coat, then at Kimimaro, who was only wearing a single layer of clothing.

He reached out and lifted the clothes, then covered Kimimaro with them.

"You wear it, I'm not afraid of the cold."

Kimimaro pushed the clothes down onto Shiro's body: "Listen to me, you're much thinner than me."

"But..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly looked in a direction with a look of horror.

The two shrouded figures who were in the alley have already followed the footprints and come here.

Haku's fear was understandable; in the Land of Water, bloodline limits are considered a sin, and anyone discovered by Kirigakure would be killed.

Kimimaro immediately pulled Haku behind him and faced the two Kirigakure figures coming towards him.

"Why is it a brat?" asked the cryptic Mist Villager named Otokichi.

Dengzhi whispered to him, "Don't be careless. That kind of wound is not something an ordinary person would have."

Otoyoshi nodded, then drew his weapon and pointed it at Kimimaro: "Why did you kill those people?"

Kimimaro was not good with words. He raised his hand and a bone blade appeared in it. He looked at the two of them with a wary expression.

Otokichi and Toshi's pupils contracted: "A remnant of the Kaguya clan!"

They exchanged a glance, and then each chose a target: Otsuki attacked Haku, while Toshi attacked Kimimaro.

"Bai, get out of here!"

Kimimaro immediately went to meet them, attempting to stop both of them.

However, Otokichi was quite strong; with a light step, he leaped over Kimimaro.

Kimimaro's leap was blocked by Toshi.

The two clashed, and Kimimaro's bone sword immediately flew out of his hand.

But the moment Eui-kichi landed, large ice spikes suddenly exploded on the ground and hurtled towards him.

Yiji dodged two attacks by sidestepping, and Bai was exhausted.

"It's actually the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai!"

Yiji looked excited and had already put away his sword. He could tell that his opponent had not received any ninja training.

Both of those ice pick attempts were purely instinctive.

You can capture them alive!

Kimimaro looked anxious and drew a second bone blade, attacking Toshi.

Their fighting style is completely reckless.

Toshi frowned slightly, spun the blade, and plunged it directly into Kimimaro's heart.

Just then, two claws made of tailed beast cloaks suddenly appeared behind Haku.

With one hand protecting Shiro, he grabbed Kimimaro with the other and quickly dragged him away.

Both Toshi and Otsuki were swept away. When they looked over, a pair of blood-red eyes had already hypnotized them.

The Chiyo they saw resembled Yagura Karatachi.

Yagura made two hand gestures, signaling them to retreat.

Tōshī and Yūkichi dared not ask any more questions and were sent flying by the blow.

The two of them immediately fled.

The tailed beast cloak on Chiyo disappeared, revealing his true form.

He didn't use a transformation technique to become Yagura Karatachi, but instead used illusionary hypnosis, so that Kimimaro and Haku could recognize him.

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

Unexpectedly, Kimimaro and Haku met and became companions.

Even after being rescued, Kimimaro still shielded Shiro behind him, saying, "Thank you."

Qianyao simply pointed to the broth simmering in the pot: "If we don't take it off soon, it'll burn."

Bai glanced at Qian Yao before removing the pot from the fire.

The broth has now turned into a thick, meaty porridge, but the meaty aroma remains.

Who are you? What do you want?

The two Hidden Mist creatures were just driven away in one fell swoop.

Kimimaro knew that the person in front of him was not someone he could defeat, but his expression remained wary.

Qianyao chuckled to himself. If he had arrived earlier and copied Orochimaru's ideas, he probably could have tricked Kimimaro into his hands.

But it seems that we've passed that stage now.

"My name is Uchiha Chiyo, and I am an elder of the Uchiha clan. Would you like to come and join me?"

"Uchiha Chiyo? He's defecting."

Kimimaro didn't react at all when he heard the surname, after all, he had been locked up in prison and had no common knowledge.

Qianyao nodded: "Yes, if you become my partner, you can have food, drink, and shelter."

Kimimaro looked somewhat bewildered, but when he saw Haku, he shook his head: "I want to be with Haku."

Qianyao laughed and said, "Then come along with me. I need partners like you."

Bai looked at Qianyao: "Do you need us? But we have a bloodline limit, an ability that nobody likes."

Qian Yao remained calm:

"That's because the environment here is bad. Where we're from, bloodline limits are abilities that everyone desires but cannot obtain."

Bai's eyes showed surprise. He never knew that anyone would like the power of a bloodline limit.

Seeing that Kimimaro was still considering, Chiyo decided to entice him:

“You can’t live like this forever. In the Land of Water, you’ll be captured and killed.”

"You might as well come with me and leave this place."

"Where I am, you can eat your fill, stay warm, and meet many other people with the same bloodline limit."

"We're all partners, so there's no need to worry about being killed."

A look of longing appeared in Bai's eyes.

Chiyo revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan:

"I also have a bloodline limit, so come and be my partner."

Kimimaro glanced at Haku's expression, and the two nodded in agreement: "Alright!"

Qian Yao felt relieved: "You guys eat first."
