The Chapter get Retranslated
The caravan slowly drove out of the town, advancing slowly along the main road towards the Land of Lightning. At this pace, it would take about a month to reach the Land of Lightning.
Both sides of the main road were lined with towering giant trees, and the lush forest stretched endlessly. No matter how many times Mizu saw it,
he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The greenery in this world is truly magnificent." Such primeval forests were hard to find in his original world, but they were ubiquitous here, especially in the Land of Fire.
Might Guy, at the front of the team, was jumping around like a monkey, sometimes standing on a branch overlooking the distance, and sometimes shouting loudly on a roadside boulder.
"Heh, truly an energetic beast. No wonder he calls himself the Blue Beast." Mizu, walking at the back of the team, couldn't help but smile at Might Guy's antics.
Matsumoto Akira and the other guards couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads when they saw Might Guy, casting questioning glances at Kurenai Yuhi, who was walking on the left flank of the team.
"Mr. Matsumoto, please don't mind him. He's usually like that, but he's quite reliable in critical moments," Kurenai Yuhi said with an awkward smile, waving her hand at Matsumoto Akira.
"Heh heh, is that so?" Matsumoto Akira also chuckled awkwardly, a clear look of disbelief on his face. The other Konoha Chunin also looked unusually embarrassed; they too understood Might Guy's personality.
Might Guy's behavior somewhat dispelled the tense atmosphere. After all, along this road, they had to guard against bandits, thugs, and even Rogue Ninja who might attack at any time, so everyone was on edge.
However, the gazes of those Konoha Ninja occasionally fell on Mizu, who was walking at the very end, with some hostility and disdain. After all, for ninja from these great ninja villages,
Bounty Ninja were inferior beings, not recognized by the masses. They viewed Bounty Ninja with the same feeling a noble would have towards a commoner.
And now, this inferior Bounty Ninja was showing a tendency to suppress them, gaining fame in the Ninja World due to his extremely high mission completion rate, even affecting their village's mercenary business quite a bit.
So, their hostile gaze towards Mizu was not without reason. Mizu naturally noticed the ill-intentioned looks of these Konoha Ninja. Having wandered the Ninja World for several years,
he naturally knew what the Konoha Ninja's gazes meant. However, the corner of his mouth under his mask curled into a disdainful smile, "One day, I, this Bounty Ninja, will make you see true fear~!!"
At this moment, the team had gradually left the border of the Land of Fire, slowly advancing along a road within a forest. From here on, everyone knew that the real test would begin.
Within the Land of Fire, it was unlikely that bandits and Rogue Ninja would dare to rob a caravan escorted by Konoha Ninja, but outside the Land of Fire, it was different.
Occasionally, bird calls and cicada chirps could be heard from between the trees. No one spoke, especially the Konoha Ninja, who were all watching their surroundings with vigilance.
Mizu, however, seemed quite relaxed and casual. With his Sharingan, his perception was far beyond what these ninja could match. He didn't know if there were enemies, but he knew that at least for now, no enemies had appeared.
Thus, several days passed slowly. During these days, the team traveled during the day and rested in the wild at night. The entire team had already left the Land of Fire far behind.
Even while traveling, Might Guy's energy remained as vigorous as ever, jumping and leaping all day, constantly shouting: "Youth does not allow for rest!!!"
Everyone in the caravan went from being shocked and helpless at Might Guy's bizarre behavior to becoming numb to it; they had become accustomed to his actions.
At this moment, Might Guy, not knowing what madness had overcome him, suddenly appeared beside Mizu, revealing his sparkling white teeth and smiling as he said, "Young man, don't be so gloomy all day! You can't have no youthful spirit! You should face the morning sun of youth with a smile, just like me!!!"
Mizu's face, covered by a white mask, slowly turned. He stared at Might Guy without moving, the strange, smiling-yet-not-smiling features on his mask making Might Guy feel a bit uneasy, "Is there a problem, young man?"
Indeed, although Mizu deliberately kept his voice low, it was still clear that his voice was very young, lacking the rough thickness and magnetism of an adult.
This allowed Guy to realize that the mysterious ninja before him was not an old man like himself, but a young boy full of youth.
After a long while, a single word slowly emerged from beneath the mask, "Idiot!" As soon as the words fell, Might Guy instantly turned to stone, his mouth wide open, looking extremely comical.
Mizu slowly passed Might Guy, ignoring his petrified state. "Darn it!! Why are they all like Kakashi!! Why!!!" Might Guy's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he roared loudly at the sky, seemingly condemning the unfairness of the world.
Hearing Might Guy's voice, Mizu chuckled inwardly, "It's your personality that's different from everyone else."
Just then, Mizu's body trembled slightly, and his eyes narrowed instantly. "Something's strange!! It's too quiet around here!!"
At this point, the team was almost out of the forest, but at some unknown time, the surrounding forest had become incredibly silent, with even the bird calls and cicada chirps completely gone.
Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and several Chunin also noticed the unusual silence. This was the experience accumulated from frequently executing missions.
Newly graduated Genin would find it hard to notice such a situation, but ordinary Chunin could quickly detect the abnormality, and of course, Jonin even more so.
