The world I hear is completely different from yours.

Finally, with trembling fingers, Yekura picked up the paper from the envelope and looked at the order on it: "Go to the Land of Hot Springs and investigate the emerging evil god cult."

"Huh? Weren't you telling me to go back?"

Full of energy! Morale soared! Ye Cang suddenly felt a surge of power! Damn it, so what if it's some kind of evil cult? Come on, I'll teach you a lesson!

Chapter Three plans to kill him before the big boss even appears.

"Quickly, start writing a reply right now. I'll take this task!"

Without delay, to prevent the Akatsuki from backing out and making him a former excavator driver, Yecang acted with unprecedented speed. He immediately grabbed a pen and wrote a reply in a flourish, stating that he would set off for the Village of Hot Springs in the Land of Rivers right now, immediately, and immediately. He was prepared to go through fire and water, or even reach for the moon in the heavens or scoop up crayfish in the hell, at any cost, to find out the truth about the Jashin Cult for the Akatsuki and teach them a lesson, letting them know who the mastermind really was. He assured the Akatsuki and Pain that they could rest assured!

After quickly writing his reply, Ye Cang immediately rushed out and into the black market liaison office. He watched as the black market manager accepted the letter and then put it into an envelope and mailed it out. Only then did he turn around and return to his base with a relieved look on his face. He then plopped down on the bed, intending to take another nap.

"Anyway, the orders didn't specify when to set off and complete the mission, so let's just rest for a bit first. Besides, that red-haired gay scorpion hasn't come back yet after going out to rob someone. Let's wait until he comes back before we set off together. I don't think he'll be interested in going back to Akatsuki as an excavator driver, right?" Ye Cang swayed back and forth, thinking this as he gradually fell asleep.

Achoo!!!

Scorpion suddenly sneezed, then rubbed his nose with an annoyed expression, his previous cold and aloof demeanor vanishing instantly. This gave the caravan guards, who were nervously holding their weapons, a glimmer of hope. "Perhaps this guy who suddenly blocked our way is just pretending to be the master 'Red Sand Scorpion,' and is actually just a worthless imposter?"

Seeing the guards whose faces were gradually regaining hope and who were preparing to fight to the end, Sasori was immediately annoyed. Damn it, I am Sasori of the Red Sand, who is known as the one who conquered a country by myself! Don't be fooled by my fair and delicate appearance, I am actually super fierce! When I get angry, even I am afraid of myself!

Summoning of a psychic puppet! Eighteen naked men!!

Very well, since you dare to take up arms and resist after hearing my name, then don't blame me, Sasori of the Red Sand, for not giving you a chance!

*Smack!* Scorpion casually tossed a bar of soap. Attack! All-out assault!! Crush them!!

Instantly, eighteen muscular, bald puppets, comparable to Billy Herrington, struck several different ultimate bodybuilding poses, blinding everyone with their nakedness, and charged forward with the aura of "Today, you are all courting death!"

In the Hokage's office in Konoha, Tsunade stared at the mountain of documents piled on her desk, momentarily stunned. "Um, Tsunade, was the Hokage's workload really this heavy before? Is it really okay to dump so much work on a newbie like me? Aren't you planning to create some kind of introductory training tutorial for a new Hokage?"

“Originally, a large part of this work was the responsibility of the Konoha Cabinet, but now most of the elders in the Cabinet have gone to the front lines, which is why so much work has piled up. But it’s okay, I believe in your Will of Fire!!” Tianqing said with an expression that said, “I have high hopes for you,” and also came up with a rather noble and righteous excuse.

"So my Will of Fire means working overtime to process paperwork?" Tsunade countered.

Tianqing shrugged and didn't reply. After all, Tsunade had worked overtime a lot to process documents in the original story, and this was just to let her get used to it in advance. During her time away from Konoha, she still needed a powerful ninja like the "Legendary Sannin" to guard the village and prevent some ambitious people from taking advantage of the situation and causing a rebellion similar to the Uchiha clan's last one to happen again.

"Tsunade, are you really planning to leave the village alone to investigate?" Tsunade asked with a displeased expression. After all, as the head of the village, the Hokage's personal safety was of paramount importance, affecting the stability and security of the entire village. If anything happened to her, it would not only throw the village into chaos but could also directly lead to the decline of the entire country. The Sand Village, which was thrown into turmoil due to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, was a prime example.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to investigate something. It won't be long," Tian Qing replied, walking out of the Hokage's office. Although several Konoha high-ranking officials tried to dissuade Tian Qing from his actions, saying things like "A noble son shouldn't act recklessly," "How can the Hokage act alone?" and "A ruler of a country acting alone is a harbinger of national destruction," and "Konoha Village is doomed sooner or later," etc.

Unfortunately, Ame no Shizuka wouldn't be so easily dissuaded. After all, those in Konoha who had enough prestige to stop her had already left the village. Hiruzen Sarutobi was still leading his troops in a fierce battle against the Land of Water, Danzo Shimura was leading his troops in hand-to-hand combat against the Land of Lightning, and Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze were heading to the front lines as commanders of reinforcements. So Ame no Shizuka naturally wanted to seize this good opportunity, where no one could dissuade her, to do some things she had long wanted to do.

For example, he could take the opportunity to infiltrate Kirigakure, find Madara Uchiha hiding behind the scenes through the controlled Third Mizukage, and give him a clean and tidy headshot.

Before the war even began, Tensei had long wanted to take advantage of Madara Uchiha's old age and weakness to lead an attack on Kirigakure, dragging out this old codger and ensuring that this future big boss would never reappear. However, he had been unable to do so before. After all, even though Tensei was the Third Hokage of the village, he couldn't make such a crucial decision on his own, and the elders of Konoha wouldn't agree to expend enormous manpower and resources to attack Kirigakure based solely on Tensei's word.

"However, this is wartime, and it's the time when the Land of Water and the Land of Fire are at war. So even if I turn the entire Hidden Mist Village upside down, no one will say anything, right?" Tianqing thought with a smile. Taking advantage of the fact that the future big boss doesn't have much power yet, killing him directly would feel incredibly cool!

I wonder if Black Zetsu and that alien Otsutsuki girl will reappear after Madara Uchiha is killed?

"Alright, I'm off!!" After taking one last look back at Konoha Village, Amemori started walking.

P.S. Late update. I was stuck in traffic on the highway all day, so I'm really sorry for the lateness.

Chapter Four: Nineteen Times a Day and Being "Forced" Nineteen Times a Day

The Land of Hot Water is an island nation located on a sea island. This island is situated in the sea area directly between the Land of Fire, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water, and is quite a distance away from these major powers by sea.

This country has many advantages, the most fortunate of which is that, as an island nation, it does not share a land border with other major powers. Therefore, it has avoided becoming a battlefield for fighting and vying for power between major powers, like the Land of Rain. It is far from the conflicts and is a peaceful country known for its numerous hot springs.

In the Land of Hot Water, there is a village called Hot Water Ninja Village, which is said to have been founded by a ninja couple. However, due to its long absence from war, the fighting ability of the hot water ninjas in the village is generally not very good. Because of this, the Land of Hot Water is not described in much detail in the original work, leading many people to mistakenly believe that Hot Water Ninja Village is a ninja village located in the Land of Rivers.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you'll know that the Land of Rivers is a buffer zone between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire. How could there be a village called Hot Spring Village in the Land of Rivers? After all, the Land of Rivers is located between two powerful countries that fight each other every now and then. How could a country known for its peace exist in the Land of Rivers?

It is precisely because of its unique geographical environment—surrounded by the sea and far removed from war—that the people of the Land of Hot Springs have always lived a peaceful life, unaffected even by the ongoing Third Shinobi World War. Therefore, the Land of Hot Springs is widely recognized as an ideal refuge from war, and many people, fearing the turmoil of war, flock to the ports on the opposite continent, boarding ships bound for the Land of Hot Springs, hoping to find a peaceful life away from conflict.

Of course, as more and more people plan to move to the Land of Hot Springs, the prices of permits to move into the village and round-trip boat tickets have also risen sharply. The high prices are probably only affordable for very wealthy people. Of course, all of this is only for ordinary people. For those ninjas with considerable power, none of this is a problem.

For example, the original work records that Jiraiya loved going to the Land of Hot Springs. But would anyone think that this white-haired uncle would spend a large sum of money on a boat ticket and a village entry permit? He even had to use Naruto's savings to go to brothels to pick up girls. How could such a spendthrift spendthrift have any savings to pay for boat tickets and other expenses?

This is especially true for rogue ninjas like Yekura and Sasori. Even if they have enough money, they won't obediently pay for tickets. To them, my money is mine, and your money is mine too! They got on the ship on their own merit, so why should they have to pay out of their own pockets?

"Speaking of which, Akatsuki is so stingy! Not only did they not pay for the travel expenses for the mission, but they also didn't provide the meal allowance, transportation allowance, or social security benefits from the last mission. We even had to pay for our own boat ride. How can they be qualified to be the behind-the-scenes organization planning to unify the world?" Ye Cang complained, pouting as she lay on the sofa in first class. She picked up a slice of frozen watermelon that had just been brought up by the waiter and began to devour it.

Under the table to the side lay a bloated, middle-aged man, his body tightly bound, a black hood without holes covering his head, looking like a criminal about to be executed. He was the original owner of this first-class cabin, now fast asleep under the influence of an illusion, having wonderful dreams sometimes twice a day, sometimes nineteen times a day, occasionally letting out a rather lewd laugh.

"Hey, Yekura, what kind of illusion did you cast on him? That lewd laughter is so annoying!" Sasori, looking sleepy, raised his head and said. He had been so engrossed in robbery that he was quite sleep-deprived, and he had planned to catch up on sleep during the boat trip. However, it was clear that in this environment where the mysterious lewd laughter could be heard from time to time, even Sasori, who had a pretty good tolerance for lewd laughter, couldn't fall asleep.

"You mean that illusion? That's my own unique technique, called 'The Only Man Technique.' It's an illusion that makes people dream that 'there's only one man in the whole world, and everyone else is a beautiful young lady who throws herself at him and is completely obedient to him,'" Ye Cang replied with a knowing look on his face.

Damn it, no wonder this guy's laugh was so lewd, it gave me goosebumps all over! I wanted to slap him to death right now!

However, considering the secrecy of this mission, Scorpion, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble, suppressed his murderous intent. He simply sat up from the bed, walked over to the lewd-looking guy with a displeased expression, removed the black hood from his head, and began to form hand seals:

"Illusion Art* The whole world is a philosophy of muscle-bound giants engaging in hand-to-hand combat!!"

Afterwards, Scorpion didn't put the hood back on him, but instead thoughtfully put a gag in his mouth to prevent him from making any more noise. Then Scorpion climbed into bed and began to enjoy a good nap.

At this moment, the lewd smile on the guy's face had completely vanished, leaving only endless fear. In the dream, the unfortunate man looked around with a livid expression. The charming girls, some clothed and some naked, were gone, replaced by a large group of muscular men with steel-like muscles, walking towards him in all sorts of strange poses, as if they were about to pounce on him and turn him into a "body of men."

Just as he realized the situation was bad and was about to run away, a thick hand grabbed his shoulder and with a gentle squeeze, he was unable to move and collapsed limply to the ground, where he could only watch in despair as thighs full of large muscles and thick leg hair rushed towards him.

No! This kind of life, sometimes being "forced" twice a day, sometimes nineteen times a day, is terrifying! Someone please save me!

Immediately, the man having this terrible nightmare began to writhe violently, convulsing as if in immense pain. Unfortunately, the tight ropes binding him and the gag in his mouth prevented him from making a sound or movement.

Then, Yekura suddenly smelled a foul, fishy odor: "Ah! Sasori, what kind of illusion magic did you cast on him? He's so scared he's wet his pants!!"

Left with no other choice, Yekura and Sasori stood up and left the room to find another first-class cabin without any smell.

After a long while, this unlucky guy, who had spent a long time in the "illusion * covered in burly men" illusion, finally opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above him in confusion. "What just happened to me?"

PS: The highways and scenic spots were packed with people; I felt like I was about to be covered in sweat!

Leave

I was dragged out drinking yesterday and just woke up. Yes, I actually slept for a whole day.

I have absolutely no memory of what happened from yesterday until now; it's a complete blackout.

Alcohol is truly a bad thing. Dear readers, please take my experience as a warning and don't drink too much.

My head is spinning right now. I'm about to get up and get something to eat. That's all for today. No updates for now.

Chapter Five: Heartless Payne, give me back my hard-earned money!

As night deepened, and the last passenger on the ship's deck succumbed to sleep and went back to his cabin, a sailor on watch sent a discreet signal to the ship's control room. Subsequently, under the control of the room, the ship quietly changed course, deviating from its original route and accelerating in a certain direction.

At the same time, Yekura and Sasori, who were fast asleep, suddenly woke up and opened their eyes almost simultaneously: "What's going on? Why has the ship changed direction?"

As an elite ninja, one must always maintain a high level of vigilance towards their surroundings and be able to constantly sense and discern changes in their own direction. Especially for experts of Pakura and Sasori's caliber, even the slightest change in direction while they are sound asleep will attract their attention and instantly put them into a state of high alert.

"Is it a ghost ship possessing something? Or is it tectonic shifts causing changes in ocean currents that force ships to change course?" Yekura's imagination is as vivid as ever.

Scorpion glared at Yekura: "Even if it were pirates hijacking the ship, that would be more plausible, wouldn't it?"

Then, the two exchanged a glance, stood up, and silently walked out of the cabin to see what was going on.

The ship continued to accelerate in a certain direction, showing no hesitation or slowing down as one would when navigating a new channel. It was as if the ship had already sailed back and forth on this hidden channel many times, and the ship's crew was extremely familiar with it.

Finally, as the ship approached a small harbor hidden beside a deserted beach, it began to slow down. At the same time, several small boats sped out of the harbor and rushed toward the ship.

Standing at the very front of the small boat was a man draped in a black robe and wearing a black mask. From a distance, he looked like someone hiding in a black mist, capturing the essence of a mysterious man in black. Judging from his appearance, he was definitely the enigmatic leader of some mysterious organization.

“I’m so sorry, Your Excellency. This ship’s waterline is too deep to enter our small harbor, so we’ll have to trouble you to board in this small boat,” a servant said respectfully to the mysterious man in black robes.

"It's alright. For the sake of His Majesty the Great Evil God's plan, all non-essential material conditions can be ignored. However, you must be careful not to let anything happen to those offerings. They are gifts that were originally intended for His Majesty the Evil God. We spent a lot of effort finding them before!" The voice of the enigmatic man in black robes sounded slightly dull, probably a common trait among religious people who had recited scriptures too much.

"Yes! I will obey your command!" The servant bowed his head respectfully.

During their conversation, the small boat approached the ship and gently pulled alongside. Sailors who had been waiting on the ship's deck quickly dropped down a rope ladder for the crew of the small boat to climb onto the deck.

Then the black-robed bishop reached out from his robes, grabbed the rope ladder, and climbed up the deck with extraordinary speed.

The waiter next to him blinked in confusion. As the person closest to the bishop, he noticed for a moment that there seemed to be a lot of sticky mucus on the bishop's exposed arm. In the darkness, with the help of the firelight on the small boat, he even thought that the bishop's arm skin was a little bluish, as if it were a floating corpse that had been soaking in the water for a long time.

"It seems I've been a bit too tired these past few days, to the point that I even misread something like this. I guess I'll need to get some rest when I get back," the waiter thought to himself, before climbing up the rope ladder.

Soon, with the combined efforts of the sailors on deck and in the small boats, everything was quickly loaded onto the ship. Then, under the cover of night, unnoticed by anyone, the ship returned to its original course and headed towards the Land of Hot Springs.

Yekura and Sasori lay hidden in a secluded corner, silently watching the group of uninvited guests who casually entered the cabin. "Judging from their attire, they seem to be the same kind of evil cult that Akatsuki asked us to investigate?"

Yekura was immediately deflated: "Damn it! Seriously? I finally got a mission that lets me go to the Land of Hot Springs for a hot spring vacation, and these guys just deliver themselves to my doorstep like this? Are they in such a hurry to die? At least wait until I go to the hot springs before you show up!!"

Then, Yekura looked at Sasori expectantly: "How about we just pretend we didn't see them, and then kill them after we've had our fun in the Land of Hot Springs?"

Unfortunately, even after becoming a rogue ninja, Sasori maintained his high professional ethics as a ninja and remained unmoved: "How could you make such a suggestion? Pakura, are you even a ninja anymore? You have no professional ethics at all! Doesn't your conscience hurt? Do you deserve the salary that Akatsuki pays you?"

"It's as if the Akatsuki ever paid you a salary." Yecang said with a sneer, uttering extremely hurtful words.

Hit the bullseye! Critical hit of 99999! Exceptional effect! Scorpion fell silent, contemplating whether he should go to the Akatsuki's gate and unfurl a red banner that read, "Heartless boss, give me back my hard-earned money!"

Suddenly, Yekura noticed that the group was heading towards a first-class cabin: "Huh? What's going on? Why are these people heading towards the room of that fat guy who was just affected by 'Illusion Art: Overwhelmingly Powerful'?" Yekura suddenly had a bad feeling. "Could it be that the guy we made wet his pants just now actually has some connection with these cultists? Good heavens! Could it be such a coincidence?"

...............................

"Your Excellency, this way please," the attendant said respectfully as he led the way. "The First Elder of Tangren Village has been waiting for you in the first-class cabin here for quite some time!"

Then, the waiter politely knocked on the door. "Your Excellency, the Bishop has arrived as agreed!"

There was complete silence inside, with no response whatsoever.

"Elder? Are you asleep? Can you hear my voice?" The waiter remained silent, but secretly made a gesture to be on guard.

There was still no response from inside the room. At the same time, the entourage following the bishop began to draw their weapons in unison, surrounding the bishop in black robes and protecting him in the center of the crowd, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

"Elder? Are you asleep? Perhaps we can come back tomorrow?" the waiter said, but his body did the exact opposite. Instead of turning to leave, he kicked open the door! He was trying to lull any potential attackers inside with his words!
