I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

It's inconvenient to use it in the village right now, and after Orochimaru came out, he was "monitored," so it's even more impossible for him to activate elemental transformation at will.

As for the Black Zetsu and White Zetsu that might be lurking underground, that's not a big problem.

After transforming into his elemental form, Hoshino Yu, combined with his Observation Haki, could easily extend his sensory range by several kilometers, even though he hadn't yet developed his Psychic Field.

However, he also felt that while the progress seemed fast at the beginning of development, the cultivation speed began to slow down after a certain point in time.

Whether it's visual perception, shaving, paper drawing, or anything else, it all comes down to practice and refinement day after day.

He didn't think he had Luffy's talent, that he could develop his Devil Fruit to that level in just a few dozen days, from Gear First to Gear Fifth, the Awakening of Sun God.

As you can see, most Devil Fruit users only become famous figures on the sea after developing their Devil Fruit abilities to a later stage.

But as the saying goes, only domineering power can overcome everything.

Hoshino Yu stated that without the system's rewards, he would never possess Conqueror's Haki in his entire life. He might be able to develop Armament Haki, but the former requires too much talent.

Shaking off the trivial thoughts in his mind, Hoshino Yu saw that the surrounding dense forests indicated that he had arrived in a mountainous area in the heart of the land of rivers. He released his senses and took out a map from the inventory on the panel, carefully examining it under the moonlight.

"The interior of the River Country isn't too dangerous, but the closer you get to 'Sunset Village,' the closer you get to the Wind Country."

"Judging from the level of patrols they've been doing, it's really impossible for an ordinary person to get in there..."

Hoshino Yu looked at the locations marked on the map and measured them with her fingers.

It's not far, but once you activate elemental transformation, at that near-light speed, you can arrive in the blink of an eye and sneak in silently.

Hoshino Yu will never do anything difficult if it can be easily solved.

After confirming the direction, he put the map away, stretched, and then his whole body emitted azure lightning.

Nourishes—

In reality, the total time taken was less than a fraction of a second, which is not much different from the Flying Thunder God technique.

However, due to a moment of miscontrol, Hoshino Yu found himself standing in a familiar desert. At the same time, as soon as he stood firm, he sensed that more than a dozen ninjas emanating chakra fluctuations were rushing towards him from several kilometers away.

As for why it happened so quickly, Hoshino Yu broke through the outer barrier directly, which was sensed by the Sand Ninja, allowing him to react so quickly.

"Oh dear, how did I end up in the Land of Wind?"

Looking around at the scene, Hoshino Yu scratched his head and disappeared in a flash.

When the Sand Ninja arrived at his original location, they were also completely bewildered.

......

It took some more time before Hoshino Yu accurately pinpointed the destination to the interior of "Sunset Village".

After using his transformation technique to dress like the commoners in the village, mostly in khaki clothes and wearing headscarves, Hoshino Yu began to take a closer look.

Located in the transitional zone between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind, Luoxia Village is bordered by a river oasis to the east and the Gobi Desert to the west. It can be said that two different landscapes can be seen within one village.

The narrow oasis outside the village is the lifeline for the villagers' survival. The houses are mostly made of a mixture of adobe and wood, with thatched roofs to protect against wind and sand. The winding and narrow lanes inside the village help to reduce the impact of wind and sand.

"No wonder information from these outposts can't get out," Hoshino Yu thought to himself as he walked down the street, his face covered, watching the occasional passing Sunagakure ninja. "Unless they are ninjas skilled in stealth and possess considerable strength..."

At present, almost all the residents of Luoxia Village are Sand Ninja. Due to its proximity to the Land of Wind, this border village with an oasis river is being gradually eroded by the Land of Wind.

According to the mission information, Hoshino Yu is looking for a desert caravan post station near the Land of Wind.

As a secret base for Konoha to monitor the movements of Sunagakure, support the Anbu, and relay intelligence, it has already transmitted a lot of important information to Konoha.

The "Fire" mentioned by "Owl," the ninja who previously met him and Orochimaru at "Nikko Post," worked at this secret base.

Hoshino Yu's mission was to come and hand over the reins to him, and also to see if the other party had betrayed him.

After walking for a while, Hoshino Yu saw a large mud-brick flat-roofed house in front of him. The exterior walls were mottled and looked old and inconspicuous. Hoshino Yu knew that he had found the place.

It was nighttime, and the inn was not open. The streets were sparsely populated. To avoid being noticed by the Sand Ninja in the shadows, he found a guesthouse and rested there for the night.

After paying the money and following the shopkeeper to a room, Hoshino Yu locked the door from the inside and used his Observation Haki to sense the surrounding movements, including the secret base.

"There are three people inside the base, which matches the number listed in the mission description, but we don't know if they are the original three."

"We'll have to wait until daytime to go and make contact."

After thinking for a moment, he lay down on the bed and crossed his legs. He wasn't sleepy at all, so he thought about going through the plot of the original Naruto manga to see if there was anything missing.

The period before World War II was very unfavorable for him. The original timeline mostly focuses on the period after Naruto's birth, and only briefly summarizes the period before World War II and World War III.

So, he'll have to figure out the actual situation himself.

He guessed that Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu were currently in the northern part of the Land of Frost, but in the original story, after Obito Uchiha was crushed by a boulder, he later appeared at Madara Uchiha's secret base.

Therefore, most people believe that it is more likely to be within the area of ​​Kannabi Bridge, which is the land of grass.

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha is not old yet. Apart from losing one eye, his age is roughly the same as Kakuzu's.

However, just as he was pondering this, he sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation in his Observation Haki.

"Oh ho, Kakuzu? What a coincidence to run into you here." Hoshino Yu smiled to himself.

Kakuzu had four hearts cut off by him before, which greatly reduced his strength. He probably wants to find hearts of the other four chakra natures in the border of the Land of Wind to make up for the loss of strength.

However, he hadn't expected Kakuzu to dare show up here.

Logically, they should have fled as far away as possible, but perhaps this is a case of being blind to one's own shortcomings, or the composure of the older generation of artists.

After thinking about it, he grabbed the blanket and decided to get some sleep first.

When the sun was high in the sky, Hoshino Yu slowly woke up.

Listening to the hustle and bustle of the street outside, he sorted out his thoughts, washed his face, and went out for a stroll.

Once he blended into the crowd of ordinary people and didn't notice anyone watching him, he headed towards the post station.

After parting the curtain, Hoshino Yu saw a middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance sitting at the front desk. She nodded slightly and asked:

"Boss, how much is this bucket of water?"
