"I regret to inform you that the Sage of Six Paths truly existed." Obito said, pointing to his side. "Furthermore, my companion possessed the Rinnegan of the Six Paths."

At this moment, Payne cooperatively removed his hood, revealing a pair of pale purple eyes.

"How could this be..." "Is this real?" Both the Raikage and Killer Bee were utterly stunned by what they saw. This completely overturned their previous understanding of the world.

382 Encounter

The Land of Water, a small border town by the sea.

"What's wrong, Yecang?" Wuyue, who was walking on the road, turned to look at the woman beside her and asked with a smile, "You don't seem very enthusiastic. It's a rare opportunity to travel, so cheer up."

"Please forgive my bluntness, Master." After a moment of silence, Yecang said, "Since it's a trip, why go to such lengths to choose this country? As the Kage of a village, this is really a bit risky."

"It's alright." Wuyue waved her hand and said, "The village affairs can be temporarily left to Tsunade-sensei and the others. Since we've come all this way, we should naturally choose a meaningful place. Besides, today is Mirai-chan's fourth birthday. I wanted to bring her here to broaden her horizons."

As Wuyue said this, she was actually quite moved. Unbeknownst to her, her daughter was already four years old. He had been in this world for ten years now. Compared to his initial awkwardness and wariness of everything, he had now completely integrated, even his child was old enough to run errands—a truly astonishing change.

That's just an excuse; you probably just want to see your old flame.

Ye Cang clearly didn't believe such an explanation. He was inwardly grumbling, but didn't show it on his face. "Yes. Since you've said so, I understand."

"Well, don't be so reserved." Wuyue sighed and said, "I know this country is very unfriendly to you. There are many dark memories associated with it, right? But that's all in the past now."

That's absolutely true. Back then, Yekura almost lost her life in this country because she was betrayed by her own village and Kirigakure. But fortunately, she met Mugetsu at that time and was given a new lease on life.

However, this did not change Yekura's aversion to this country and Kirigakure. Therefore, she acted somewhat resistant throughout the journey.

“Yes, even if I know in my heart… but…” At this point, Yecang didn’t know how to continue. But Wuyue knew very well that this must be some kind of shadow. A shadow that even after so much time had passed, it could not be completely erased.

"Wow, that's the ocean!" Fortunately, the future on Wuyue's shoulder suddenly changed the subject. Pointing to the beach in front of her, she said, "It's so beautiful."

“Yes, that’s the sea.” Wuyue replied with a smile, “Does Mirai-chan like it?” She released her hands and put her down.

"Mmm, the sea, the sea!" The little girl danced and ran wildly toward the beach.

"Young Miss, be careful. Don't run too fast, or you'll fall." Ye Cang, who was behind Wu Yue, quickly followed. In her eyes, Uzumaki Mirai was not just her young master. She even regarded her as her own daughter.

The scene was quite heartwarming. Wu Yue smiled and stepped forward, but just as he was about to get close, the scene suddenly changed strangely.

"Kill her, kill her!"

"This guy is a monster!"

“Drive her out of our town.”

A disheveled girl ran frantically from the nearby bushes. Her exposed arms and legs were covered in bruises and welts. A group of boys, around twelve or thirteen years old, chased after her. They each carried sticks and stones, their faces filled with ferocity.

puff.

Finally, the girl tripped over a rock in front of her without warning. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boys swarmed around her and surrounded her, punching and kicking her.

"These kinds of things can happen anywhere," Wu Yue sighed, about to step forward to stop it. But unexpectedly, his daughter beat him to it.

"Stop it, you!" the little girl shouted righteously. "You've gone too far! Why are you bullying her?"

The teenagers who were committing violence were stunned for a moment, and their eyes all turned to the future.

"And who are you?"

"Those who don't understand the situation, mind your own business!"

"She's a monster! If we don't kill her, she'll bring disaster to the town!"

These teenagers spoke with absolute conviction. After all, they believed they were doing the right thing.

"Monster? How does this young lady look like a monster?" Future quickly stepped forward and questioned, "Get out of my way!" She raised her small hand and slammed her fist into the ground.

Boom!

A loud bang.

The ground was instantly filled with a pit about half a meter in diameter, and sand and gravel filled the air.

"This, this power..."

"This woman is a monster too!"

"Quick, run!"

"You bastards!" The words of these teenagers immediately enraged Ye Cang. How dare they call her young lady a monster! Unbelievable! She waved her right hand, about to condense her Blazing Release technique.

"Alright, Yecang," Wuyue quickly stopped her, "We're just out for fun, don't ruin the mood. If I'm not mistaken, these kids are just being misled by the adults. In their eyes, innate bloodline power is an ominous sign."

That's right, this is the prevailing sentiment in the Land of Water from top to bottom. Although Mei Terumi, who recently took over as the Fifth Mizukage, has begun to try to change this situation, progress has been very slow.

"Hmph! So this country has no reason to exist." Ye Cang snorted coldly, but still obediently withdrew his hand.

383 I found a little girl

"Hey, does it hurt a lot, miss?" Future's gaze was now completely fixed on the girl, and he asked with concern. "Ugh, my face is bleeding. Let me wipe it off." She casually pulled out the handkerchief she was carrying.

"No, I'm fine..." The girl's voice was broken, as if she was a little scared and a little shy.

"Hmm. You can't be so willful." Mirai squatted down seriously, stretched out her small hand holding a handkerchief, and gently dabbed the bloodstains on her face. "This injury needs to be treated." With a flick of her wrist, a beam of green light shone up.

Under the glow of the green light, the girl's injuries visibly began to heal. Even the bruises quickly disappeared.

"This is..." The girl was clearly stunned by this miraculous scene. But she quickly recovered. "Th-thank you."

"It's alright." Future's cheeks flushed as she was thanked, and she touched her bright red head. "Papa said that helping young and naive girls is the happiest thing in the world."

puff.

Wuyue, standing to the side, nearly spat out a mouthful of 720 salt soda. Damn it, those were words she'd said to Uzuki Yugao! Where did she hear that from?!

"Master, your teaching methods are truly quite unique." As expected, Ye Cang cast a cold gaze over.

"Is that so? Heh." Wuyue chuckled dryly and turned her face away.

"Miss, what's your name?" Not noticing his father's embarrassment, Future happily struck up a conversation with the girl.

"I... my name is Bai," the girl said after a moment of silence.

"White? That's a very nice name." Mirai smiled adorably. "My name is Mirai, Uzumaki Mirai."

White? Is it really that white?

Wuyue's face showed a strange expression because of this name. But didn't she say in the original work that she was a man? Why...? Her gaze fell on the other person's slightly protruding chest. Could there be two small buns hidden inside? No, that's impossible no matter how you look at it.

"Master, where are you looking?" Ye Cang keenly noticed his gaze and couldn't help but remind him. "Have you taken a fancy to that little girl?"

"No, no." Wuyue coughed twice and said, "I just feel, could she be a boy?"

"Hmm? You can't even tell from this? This is clearly a woman, no matter how you look at it. She's a very cute woman. She'll definitely be an amazing beauty when she grows up."

"Wow, why do you sound so sour? Are you jealous? Please, that's just a kid! I'm not that much of a beast! Really!"

"Heh, is that so?"

Yes, yes.

"Papa, miss, can you come home with us?"

"Of course... wait, what the heck? You're taking her home?" Wuyue, who was just about to agree, suddenly froze, a look of astonishment on her face.

"Is that not okay? That way, I'll have someone to keep me company." Future's tone was pleading.

"Okay, if she's willing." What could Wuyue do when faced with her daughter's overly sweet and affectionate request? Of course, she agreed without hesitation.

"Yay! Papa is the best!" Mirai cheered, reaching out to hug the girl. "Big sister, from now on we're family!"

"Family...?" This word seemed to touch the softest chord in the girl's heart, causing tears to flow involuntarily.

"Hey, you guys, wait a minute." Just as the group had acquired a little girl and were about to leave, they were stopped by a strangely-looking fellow.

Tall and imposing, wearing a Kirigakure headband, with bandages binding his upper body and cheeks, and a massive blade strapped to his back, he was easily recognizable. With just one glance, Mugetsu recognized him—the Kirigakure demon, Momochi Zabuza.

According to the information Mugetsu knew, this guy was wanted nationwide for failing to assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Water, and even Kirigakure did not recognize him as a ninja.

It's unbelievable that this happened here. Does this mean history repeats itself in an astonishing way?

While inwardly sighing with these thoughts, Wu Yue showed no outward reaction, asking calmly, "Is there something you need?"

"That girl is my prey." Zabuza said arrogantly, "While I'm in a good mood right now, let her go. Then get lost."

Clearly, Zabuza didn't recognize Mugetsu. Or rather, he didn't connect the Hokage of Konoha, the legendary figure of the ninja world, with the ordinary-looking boy in front of him. He simply mistook them for some wealthy young men out for a day trip.

"You rude scoundrel, you're asking for death!" Ye Cang's eyes instantly turned furious.

"Well, calm down a bit." Wuyue stopped her and laughed, "Hey, don't you think this is funny? Let's take this opportunity to be a little mischievous?"

interesting?

Ye Cang was somewhat stunned. He'd been mocked to his face, and they called it funny? Wait, did "funny" mean that the other person didn't recognize their identities, so they resorted to this cross-dressing act? Wow, this host is so wicked. But I like it.

To be fair, Yekura seemed to understand Mugetsu's intentions quite well. So she cooperated by relaxing her body and calming down completely.

384 I almost peed my pants in fright

"My friend, you just mentioned... prey?" Wuyue feigned ignorance and asked suspiciously, "Are you interested in this little girl? Perhaps you're a lolicon?"

"Loli...con? Is that the kind of pervert Papa always talks about?" Mirai gripped Mugetsu's hand tightly and asked cautiously, "An old man who hunts lolis?"

"Stay away, this kind of pervert is contagious," Ye Cang chimed in, perfectly timed.

"Damn it! What are you all talking about?!" Zabuza roared, veins bulging on his forehead. "Damn it, this is infuriating! I've made up my mind, I'm not going to let you off the hook!" A powerful killing intent erupted from him.

"Are you not planning to let us go?"

"very scary!"

"I started to panic."

The three of them, Wuyue and Wuyue, cooperated by showing expressions of fear.

"Hmph!" A smug glint flashed in Zabuza's eyes. They were nothing but trash after all, trembling before his murderous aura. "I gave you chances before, but you didn't appreciate them. So, don't blame me!" He raised his right hand, drawing the guillotine from his back.

"Is he about to make a move?"

"Oh no, what do we do?"

"Is it too late to run now?"

"You can't escape!" Zabuza's eyes were ferocious as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and charged straight at them.

Swish.

A chilling glint of blades rose up, carrying a coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.
