Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

"No, no, no, there must be something between us that we can talk about."

Mad Blade smiled, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Uchiha Shizuku, who was wearing a fox mask, and thought to himself that he had met an exceptional person today.

However, having traveled the world for many years, he naturally knew the principle of "better safe than sorry."

These two brats dared to come to this lawless, unregulated area; they must either be out of their minds or have something else to rely on.

As for how much he has to rely on, he'll have to test that next.

Chapter 49 The real prey appears in the form of the hunter.

"So, what do you want to talk about, hmm?"

Gu Mu ignored the young samurai who kept subtly shaking his head. No matter how strong this person was, could he be stronger than Uchiha Madara?

Now, the only thing the ancient tree fears is those few hanging figures who might kill it before it even realizes it.

As for the others, even if you might not be able to kill the opponent, the opponent definitely won't be able to stop you.

"Judging from your faces, you two are not from around here. I wonder where you came from and where you are going?"

"Don't let my intimidating appearance fool you. I've traveled all over the country and have some connections, which might be of some help to you."

Unaware of what Koki and Uchiha Shizuru relied on, Kyodo acted relatively friendly.

"Find someone. We'll go to the Land of Iron and find someone with long black hair who looks extremely dangerous."

Gu Mu spoke casually, not expecting to get any useful information from this guy.

Kuangdao suddenly realized, as if recalling something: "Oh? The person you're talking about, isn't he very aloof and strong, right?"

Have you encountered this before?

Mad Blade chuckled lightly: "Of course. I met that person in the unclaimed city of the Iron Kingdom before. You know what, that guy caused quite a commotion."

"No, please don't..."

The young samurai was about to speak up to warn them when his shoulder was suddenly gripped tightly by the madman, causing his face to contort instantly.

"A city without an owner?"

Gu Mu recalled the distribution of various cities in the Iron Country on the map.

Among them, the so-called unclaimed city has even surpassed the capital of the Land of Iron in terms of discussion.

I heard that it's a very dangerous place; if you're not careful, you could be eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind.

If it were Madara Uchiha, he might actually be quietly waiting for his chance in that place.

Seeing that Gu Mu seemed to be thinking, Kuang Dao smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I'm also going to that place. Why don't we go the same way?"

"I think this is a good suggestion."

Gu Mu nodded, glanced around, and noticed that Uchiha Shizuru had already finished breakfast. "Well then, let's go."

"Haha, good, I like your straightforward personality."

Kuangdao laughed loudly. Actually, he was just a bold and fearless young man. There's a saying, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

This kid has definitely never experienced the dangers and cruelty of the martial arts world.

Seeing that Kuangdao was leading the way, Gumu left the place amidst the regretful gazes of the crowd.

"Sigh, what a pity, still so young."

"Perhaps he's a family disciple who's out for training, or maybe he has absolute confidence in his own strength?"

"Confidence, so what? The rulers of the City of No Man are no benevolent people. Not only are there wanted criminals from the Land of Iron, but also rogue ninjas from other countries living there."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Koki had already left with Uchiha Shizuru.

"Gu Mu, do we really want to follow this bad guy?"

On the way, Gu Mu and Uchiha Shizumi, keeping some distance from Kyouka, began a cryptic conversation while riding on horseback.

"It's alright. The worst-case scenario is that we're ambushed."

"I wasn't lying. My mission to the Land of Iron is to find someone."

Gu Mu rode his horse and followed behind Kuang Dao, increasing his speed.

"Judging from your masks, you two aren't exactly good people. Are you wanted criminals or fugitive rogue ninja?"

When Kuangdao saw Gumu approaching, he seemed unwilling to speak. Behind his horse were two children bound by iron chains.

"Just a wanted criminal."

Upon hearing this, Kuangdao's brow twitched, as if he had triggered some key phrase: "Oh? Such minor wanted criminals, you two are quite promising."

"Judging from the surrounding discussions, the uncle seems to be a wanted criminal as well. He's so enthusiastic, he probably has his eye on the two of us."

"Haha, what are you saying, young man? I don't understand."

Kuangdao laughed loudly, but did not admit it.

However, he wasn't lying. He remembered correctly that he had indeed encountered a dangerous guy carrying a fan in the City of No Man.

That guy, just like the person next to him described, had long, jet-black hair, and just standing there was enough to make people tremble with fear.

That domineering aura and disdainful gaze were something Mad Blade had never seen before in his life.

In just a moment, Kuangdao knew that in other people's eyes, he was probably as insignificant as an ant.

Seeing this, Gu Mu didn't say anything more.

With their own thoughts, the two arrived at the gates of the unclaimed city around nightfall.

"I have to take care of something first, young man. Come to the biggest tavern in the city tonight, and I'll give you some information."

Kuangdao accelerated on his horse and quickly entered the city, disappearing from Gu Mu and the other man's sight.

To Gu Mu's surprise, this unclaimed city seemed quite prosperous.

The city walls are covered with solid stones, and the two huge wooden gates at the city gate are open, like a gaping maw of abyss, as if they are about to swallow up passersby.

Most of the residents here are refugees affected by the war. Under the rule and construction of traitors and wanted criminals, this place may have become the last haven for many.

As soon as he entered, the air was unusually dry. Gu Mu could clearly feel that all sorts of eyes were watching him. Some were hiding at the entrance of the alley, some were hiding on the second floor, and some were leaning against the city wall, like hungry wolves, eyeing him menacingly.

However, compared to the danger one might imagine, the place appears to be quite peaceful on the surface.

"Let's go find a place to stay first."

"This place is now within the territory of the Land of Iron."

Gu Mu led the horse, looking left and right, searching for a place to live.

Despite being called a city without an owner, it still has quite a few shops, such as restaurants and weapon stores.

I just don't know what exactly is used for transactions in this place.

"You two look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in this unclaimed city? Would you like me to show you the way?"

A friendly voice came from behind me.

Gu Mu turned around upon hearing this and saw a short man with a mustache.

He carried a long knife at his waist, and the way he kept rubbing his hands together made him look like a little lamb waiting for a customer.

"Where can I find a place to stay?"

"Looking for a place to stay? What a coincidence! I happen to know a guesthouse with good value for money. Let me show you the way."

Gu Mu nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, that's quite a coincidence."

But are there really so many coincidences? They're just wolves in sheep's clothing, constantly scheming to devour people completely.

However, the best hunters often appear in the form of their prey.

During this time, Gu Mu discovered that the majority of people in this city were actually ordinary civilians.

It should be said that for refugees to survive, they could only be exploited and oppressed by the rulers.

"Waiter, we have a customer. Please arrange two rooms."

The waiter, dressed in linen and tall with calloused hands, was wiping a cup in his hand. Hearing the voice, he turned around and chuckled, "Oh? Nitaro, long time no see. And these two are... um, how long do you plan to stay?"

"I'll stay for half a month, and I only need one room."

If no information about Uchiha Madara is found within half a month, Koki will leave directly.

Therefore, it can only mean that Madara Uchiha used a diversionary tactic, and after attacking Konoha, he may be fighting Hashirama Senju.

The waiter glanced at Ertaro, "Half a month? Three hundred unclaimed coins."

"Unowned currency?"

Seeing that Koki and Uchiha Shizumi didn't seem to understand, the waiter explained, "The Unclaimed Coin is a special currency jointly issued by the three major organizations of the Unclaimed City."

"If you want to spend money in the City of No Man, you can only use No Man's Coins. After all, there are so many refugees here, and they don't have anything of value on them."

"If you want to survive, you have to learn how to make money."

Simply put, the migrants here are cheap labor, which is why this city is quite prosperous.

It was all built brick by brick by displaced people.
