The Land of Water is an island nation, floating on the outer sea, possessing a unique, independent culture.
Although its territory is surrounded by seawater on all four sides, it has a special terrain with many mountains.
Furthermore, surrounding the main island are various smaller islands, each deeply rooted with diverse customs and traditions. It's not uncommon for island residents to live strictly by these traditions.
In a small, perpetually snowy village within the Land of Water, the villagers lived in fear and hatred of those with Bloodline Limits due to the constant warfare.
At this time, this snowy village welcomed three unexpected visitors.
Leading the group was a tall young man. He was walking swiftly over the river's surface, though he occasionally stumbled, revealing that the young man was still quite unfamiliar with Chakra control.
Following behind him were a beautiful woman and a small child.
The beautiful woman's face constantly took in the surrounding scenery, as if she adored the beautiful landscape.
The vast whiteness made one feel as if their soul had entered a state of empty clarity!
The child's face held a faint sadness, but when he looked at the young man in front, he was filled with awe and reverence, much like a fan looking at their idol!
These three people were Lin Feng, Kushina, and Kimimaro.
It had been two months since Lin Feng's confrontation with Kimimaro.
Before arriving here, they had first gone to the settlement where Kimimaro's clan lived, led by Kimimaro himself.
Kimimaro had initially thought Lin Feng was deceiving him, but the truth proved that he had been constantly tricked and treated merely as a killing tool!
Even his birth parents were killed by his own clansmen!
In his grief and helplessness, it was Lin Feng who helped him stand up again. Though he was young and didn't understand grand philosophies, he would forever remember Lin Feng's words: Stand up again, and keep moving forward!
Kimimaro had asked with great confusion: "Do I have to keep being a killing tool like this? Do I still need to fight to kill? Lord Lin Feng, what do you fight for? Is it for the people?"
"I have resolve! I will fight!" Lin Feng had stated this profound sentence, and it was a phrase Kimimaro constantly held in his heart.
"Let's rest by the river," Lin Feng was quite tired. Having only learned the 'ninja arts' for two months, walking on the water's surface still made him a little nervous!
There were so many chunks of ice in the water; if he fell in, he'd freeze to death!
"Yes!" To Kimimaro, Lin Feng's words were now like a sacred decree.
This greatly pleased Lin Feng, but mostly surprised him. He never expected the once fiercely loyal Kimimaro to Orochimaru was now his fan!
"I said, are you going to tell me or not!" Kushina walked up to Lin Feng, who was sitting under a large tree panting heavily, and chided him playfully. In the past two months, besides teaching Lin Feng the ninja arts, she loved pestering him with questions, constantly trying to find out why he knew so much about this world!
Lin Feng always replied with the same smile: "Let me kiss you, and I'll answer one question!"
Kushina scoffed at this: "Say it or don't say it, I don't care! Hmph, don't expect me to teach you any more Ninjutsu!" She leaned against the tree trunk and sat down next to him, watching Kimimaro who was practicing Taijutsu alone in the distance, "That child, why do you value him so much?"
Kimimaro was currently practicing the Tai Chi moves that Lin Feng had described to him. Lin Feng had simply relayed the lyrics and movements he remembered, leaving the execution up to Kimimaro's aptitude!
A watermelon round and round (Hands make a Tai Chi ball-holding motion at the chest), Chop it with a knife, cut in two (One hand holds the 'watermelon,' the other acts as a knife slicing downwards slowly).
Half for you (Left hand coils), half for him (Right hand coils).
You don't want it (Palms push slightly forward to the left, accumulating force), He won't take it (Palms push slightly forward to the right, accumulating force).
Then don't give it (Palms quickly retract).
Chase the two people away (Wild Horse Parts Its Mane).
They won't leave, you leave (Step Back and Whip-up—Dao Nian Hou).
Leaving now, with a wave of the hand, hurt feelings (Bai He Liang Chi—White Crane Spreads Wings).
Don't bother me if you're not buying watermelon, the slow entangling movements (Fan Shen Pie Shen Chui—Turn Body, Deflecting, Punch).
They pester me stubbornly, hands slowly waving left and right (Left and Right Hitting the Tiger).
Watch how strong I am, turn head and slowly swat a fly (Turn Body and Strike Face Palm).
Killed it, hands holding watermelon pose + Ultraman Cross Hand + standing position of calisthenics preparation (Hug Tiger and Return to Mountain, Cross Hand, Closing Form).
The faint, delicate fragrance emanating from the beautiful woman beside him made Lin Feng's heart yearn.
"You haven't seen him use his Bloodline Limit yet! It's a very powerful one. If he grows up, he definitely won't be weaker than a Kage! He might even surpass a Kage!" However, Kimimaro's sickness was a severe issue!
This constantly gave Lin Feng a headache!
"Oh, why do you know so much? I'm truly curious! Just tell me!" Over the past two months, Kushina had been constantly teased and flirted with by Lin Feng in various ways, and she gradually began to emerge from her grief.
Her recovered cheerful nature made her adorable, yet also filled her with the mature, tempting charm of a woman in her prime, stirring Lin Feng's heart!
"Oh, why won't you let me kiss you! I really want to. Just one little kiss!" Lin Feng mimicked her tone, teasing her: "Honestly, your cheerful self is very beautiful! You look just like a fairy!"
"You—Hmph!" Kushina turned her head away. For the past two months, Lin Feng had constantly joked and flirted with her.
But becoming increasingly accustomed to his banter, she suddenly saw a different, deeper emotion in his eyes this time.
"You brat, judging by age, you should be calling me 'Older Sister'!"
"Hehe, I'll call you 'Nai Nai' at most; 'Older Sister' is definitely out!" Lin Feng's gaze fell on the beautiful woman beside him, instantly becoming heated.
Kushina's waist-length red hair was tied into a beautiful ponytail, with a few playful strands gently fluttering in the breeze.
Like Lin Feng and Kimimaro, she wore a thick coat, but it couldn't completely conceal her sizzling figure!
Her outfit was strange; she wasn't wearing a ninja uniform, but a sleeveless top similar to a T-shirt.
A layer of black mesh netting was wrapped around her waist.
And the bottom half was a short skirt of the same color!
What was somewhat unconventional was that one leg was wrapped in mesh netting up to just above the knee, while the other leg was completely bare.
This unconventional, mismatched dressing made her look even more alluring.
The snow-white skin exposed to the air rivaled the surrounding white snow.
Her legs were stunningly beautiful—long, slender, and perfectly proportioned.
They were made even more athletic by her long-term ninja training!
Their perfect curves surpassed those of many contemporary models!
"What kind of soul-stirring stimulation would it be to have those legs wrapped around my waist?" Lin Feng thought wickedly, staring at the beautiful young woman's jade legs.
"You little rascal, are you thinking naughty things again?!" Seeing the lecherous expression on the face of the young man beside her, Kushina knew exactly the vulgar thoughts in his mind.
"Don't look at your 'Older Sister' with eyes like that!" Kushina extended a finger and gently tapped Lin Feng's forehead.
However, her sleeveless top, at that position, gave Lin Feng a full view! The bulging peak beneath, where the white bra was stretched tightly, made him desperately want to reach out and grab it!
