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

Chapter 438 Where Dreams Begin

Border of the Land of Rain.

Deidara sat alone on his clay flying bird and flew towards Amegakure.

He left everyone else behind.

It's not that Deidara doesn't get along with the others.

Instead, they made a lot of money this time, and everyone received a large bonus.

Scorpion went to buy materials to upgrade his puppet.

Kakuzu and Zenku left the group and their whereabouts are unknown.

I received a signal from the village.

This is the thing that has kept the people of Iwagakure following him.

He pinched the clay in his hand; inside was a round ball the size of a longan, and it seemed that some kind of insect was sleeping inside.

After flying for a distance...

Deidara jumped off the clay bird, and a person was waiting for him by a tree on the ground.

"Rock Digger! Have you been following me all this time?"

I recognized the Iwagakure Deidara standing before me; he was a captain in the reconnaissance squad, and I had trained Deidara for a period of time before.

"The Tsuchikage is worried about you, fearing that you'll be captured by the Uchiha again."

Horiwa smiled, worried that what he was about to say would make Deidara's face darken.

He always prided himself on his intelligence, but he suffered a great loss at the hands of Uchiha Chiyo.

However, Horiwa only knew that Deidara had been captured by the Uchiha clan, but he did not know that Deidara did not have any ill feelings towards Chiyo, and even liked Chiyo quite a bit.

"What do you want with me? Let me tell you, I'm not going back, hmm!"

Deidara pointed to the headband with a horizontal line drawn on it, indicating that he was now a rogue ninja.

"Lord Tsuchikage said that you must be tired from your training this time, so you can have some time to relax."

Deidara was skeptical as soon as the words were spoken; he didn't believe the old man was being so kind.

"Now that you've joined Akatsuki, you can provide Iwagakure with some intelligence about Akatsuki."

Deidara rubbed the ring on his hand, remaining silent for a moment.

He wasn't actually interested in gathering information.

But Deidara wouldn't turn his back on someone so soon after learning Dust Release, especially since the Tsuchikage taught him seriously.

At this moment, Jueyan pulled out a grayish-white object.

"This is the latest clay that Lord Tsuchikage specially ordered to be found for you."

"You can't buy it outside."

Ōnoki implemented a repressive style of education, but not all the people of Iwagakure were fools.

Knowing that a rebellious kid like Deidara needs to be stroked gently, they naturally tried to find a way to appease him.

Deidara excitedly took the clay, wanting to play with clay bombs; it was a necessary product.

However, ordinary clay can only be used to make porcelain and the like.

The clay used for making explosions needs to be remixed.

There aren't many people who play with clay bombs, otherwise many buildings would also use clay bombs.

These things are not sold on the market at all, and few people study them.

Deidara found all the good clay himself.

I absolutely love the clay Deidara that Rock Digger is giving away right now.

"Hahaha, what kind of information does the old man want? I've only just joined Akatsuki, I don't know much."

Deidara fiddled with the clay in his hand, deciding how much to do to save face for the old man.

Horiwa smiled and said, "For now, all you need to do is gather basic information about the other members of Akatsuki."

"Most importantly, we need intelligence on Leader Payne and Zenku."

"After all, you know their track record."

Deidara waved his hand understandingly: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it."

Horiu pointed to the beads that Deidara had originally placed in the clay: "I'll be around here in the future, you can use these to find me."

……

Border of the Land of Fire.

After several days, Qianyao led five people across the border of the Fire Kingdom.

The border of the Land of Fire is actually very long, and since it is not close to other countries with ninja villages, the border is basically a no-man's land.

They hadn't seen a soul for a whole day.

After crossing the border, they walked for a long time across the water before finally reaching their destination.

country of waves

Ah, the place where dreams begin.

Qianyao looked at this poor and backward country and sighed.

Karin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Master, what is the place where dreams begin?"

Chiyo reached out and pressed her hand on Karin's head: "I'll tell you next time."

"Lord Chiyo, we've spotted a bridge under construction ahead," Hinata reported, observing with her Byakugan.

"Yes, the end of the bridge is the location of this mission."

Qianyao waved his hand, and everyone sped up, heading towards the bridge under construction.

The Land of Waves is an impoverished island nation near the Land of Fire, where resources are scarce.

The people basically made a living by fishing or by sea transportation.

However, this country has recently come under the control of a criminal group.

Although this criminal group is ostensibly a shipping company, it secretly uses thugs and ninjas to engage in the sale of drugs and contraband.

They even encroached on some other businesses or smaller countries.

The head of this shipping company is Kado.

While Qianyao was checking for suitable missions, he discovered that the Land of Waves had already issued relevant missions.

However, the commission is pitifully low; B-level tasks only offer the same commission as C-level tasks.

Basically, no one would be so bored as to do this task here... just kidding.

Although Qianyao wasn't just bored, he still paid attention to the mission in the Land of Waves.

He might forget other things, but he will never forget the place where this dream began.

When he saw the mission, he recalled that Tazna had mentioned it during the mission, when Gato had come to the Land of Waves more than a year ago.

Naruto was 12 years old then, and he's about to turn 11 now, which is exactly the same timeframe.

Since Qianyao has encountered them, it's a good opportunity to let the little guys see how life is in these small countries.

Before long, Qianyao brought the five children to the end of the bridge.

Dazner's house.

knock knock knock...

"You are..."

Dazner cautiously opened the door a crack.

Qianyao pointed to the headband on Sasuke's forehead next to him:

"We are Konoha ninja who accepted your mission to wipe out the Gato Group."

Danaz looked dazed, but when he noticed that most of the people opposite him were wearing Konoha headbands, he quickly opened the door.

"Oh...oh dear, please come in. This is...this is...so rude of me."

Danaz was somewhat excited, after all, he never expected that such a small amount of money could hire a ninja.

Qianyao led the group into the room, and he said casually:

"I happened to be training these kids in the area, and I took on your task as a matter of convenience."

His casual demeanor actually made Danaz feel more at ease.

After all, he didn't believe that they came specifically for their mission.

The remaining five people filed into the room.

Although the room is large, all the furniture is made of wood, and it's obvious that it was handmade.

Although there was electricity, there were no electrical appliances.

They look extremely poor.
