"Hey hey hey..."

"She's already gone far away! And you're still staring!"

The muttering beside him brought Yu back to his senses. He glanced down to see the girl from the Fuma Clan looking at him with a face full of complaints. "You're quite handsome... but I didn't expect you to be such a pervert."

"And you're waiting for a girl to come and rescue you... how pathetic!"

Pervert?

Hearing the girl's muttering, Yu rolled his eyes helplessly. He never expected such a cheesy scenario to happen, but he didn't intend to argue with such a young girl. He simply pushed through the crowd and continued walking forward.

"Hey hey, wait for me, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Unexpectedly, the girl from the Fuma Clan persisted, catching up to Yu from behind.

"I say, Miss..."

Watching the girl catch up from behind, Yu rubbed his temples with some headache. "You called me a pervert, so why are you still following me?"

"Just now, you offended those ninjas from the Land of Waterfalls..."

Seeing Yu's helpless expression, the girl put her hands on her hips, lifting her proud chin. "I decided to follow and protect you because you seemed defenseless. It's a waste of my good intentions."

"Come on... didn't you offend them? What does it have to do with me..."

Seeing the girl's seemingly kind demeanor, Yu couldn't help but want to laugh, but then he suddenly remembered something. He started to seriously examine the beautiful girl from the Fuma Clan beside him. "By the way... you just said you're a ninja from the Fuma Clan?"

"Yes! You must have heard of us, the Fuma Clan, right?!"

Hearing Yu mention the Fuma Clan, the girl lifted her proud chin even higher, beginning to introduce herself. "I'm Fuma Sasami, and the head of the Fuma Clan is my father!"

Fuma Sasami...

Hearing the girl's self-introduction, Yu murmured to himself, recalling that he might have seen this name in the anime in his past life.

"I heard that the legendary Orochimaru, one of the Three Sannin, recently established a Hidden Sound Village in the Land of Rice Fields..."

As they spoke, they unconsciously reached the outskirts of the town, where there was a vast countryside. Yu casually asked, "Since you're a ninja from the Fuma Clan in the Land of Rice Fields, you must know where the Hidden Sound Village is, right?"

Clang!!

As soon as Yu finished speaking, Fuma Sasami suddenly took a step back, a sharp kunai appearing in her hand in an instant. She stared at him vigilantly, "How do you know about Orochimaru, that villain? And why are you inquiring about the whereabouts of the Hidden Sound Village..."

Swish swish swish!!

Just as Yu was about to explain, several figures swiftly flashed around them. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by about a dozen ninjas, trapping them between the town and the countryside.

"These two brats were the ones from earlier..."

"The formidable woman is gone, so let's deal with these two brats instead!"

A rough voice rang out, belonging to the three Waterfall Ninja who had been instantly defeated by Konan's attack earlier. They had brought along some companions to seek revenge.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"Oh? This little girl looks quite good..."

"We can capture them, have some fun, and then sell them for a good amount of money..."

Seeing that the female ninja who had easily defeated them earlier was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Yu and Fuma Sasami, the two Waterfall Ninja who had fled earlier revealed lewd and sinister smiles.

"This brat doesn't look bad either. I bet there are some special clients who would like this kind of flavor. Capture them both!!"

As they spoke, the Waterfall Ninja charged straight towards them.

Judging from their speed and skills, they seemed to be at the Genin level.

"Oh no... this is bad..."

"These guys actually managed to find us..."

Watching the approaching Waterfall Ninja, Fuma Sasami stood in place with a Kunai in hand, her face showing a sense of urgency.

Swish!!

In her anxious state, Fuma Sasami suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and Yu, who had been beside her, had disappeared from his original position.

"What... what's happening?!"

The next moment, when Fuma Sasami finally realized what had happened, she widened her eyes at the scene before her.

She saw that all the Waterfall Ninja, about a dozen of them, were lying on the ground, showing no signs of injury on their bodies, but all of them had lost their breath simultaneously.

And standing amidst the bodies of these Waterfall Ninja was none other than the black clotheed, white-haired youth she had just referred to as a 'pervert', his hand releasing a blue Chakra light that dissipated in the wind.

"It seems the quality of these Waterfall Ninja isn't all that great..."

In the blink of an eye, Yu had instantly killed all the ninjas, dispersing the Chakra scalpel he had gathered in his hand.

Looking at the bodies lying on the ground at his feet, he couldn't help but recall those Waterfall Ninja he had defeated in the Chunin Exams in Konoha.

"Who... who are you?!"

After the recent commotion in the town, Fuma Sasami had initially thought Yu was just a noble young master out for a stroll.

But she hadn't expected this terrifying young man to kill over a dozen Waterfall Ninja in an instant. As she looked at the white-haired youth standing amidst the bodies, the Kunai in Fuma Sasami's hand trembled uncontrollably.

"Enough, I'm not interested in you..."

Seeing the girl Fuma Sasami looking as if she had seen a ghost, Yu walked towards her with some impatience. "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited until now. Just tell me the location of the Hidden Sound Village already!"

"What do you want with the whereabouts of the Hidden Sound Village?"

Upon hearing Yu's words, Fuma Sasami finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still held a hint of wariness. "What's your relationship with that villain Orochimaru?"

"It's nothing, just a personal grudge."

Ignoring the wariness in the girl's eyes, Yu said indifferently, gazing at the endless green fields before him, with starlight shimmering in his amber eyes. "I'm going to the Hidden Sound Village to find something and, incidentally, to kill Orochimaru."

"To... to kill the legendary Orochimaru of the Three Sannin... You really dare to say that..."

Hearing this mysterious white-haired youth in front of her openly declaring his intention to kill the legendary Orochimaru of the Three Sannin, Fuma Sasami couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, but she spoke up nonetheless. "I can take you to the Hidden Sound Village now, but you have to promise to take me with you!"

"Why?"

Upon hearing Fuma Sasami's request, Yu looked at her with some surprise, after all, the Hidden Sound Village was not a place suitable for a girl like her to play house.

"Because that bastard Orochimaru previously manipulated our Fuma Clan..."

Feeling Yu's surprised gaze, Fuma Sasami explained to him with her head lowered, "My cousin has been missing ever since he was deceived into going to the Hidden Sound Village by Orochimaru, so I hope to go to the Hidden Sound Village with you to find him..."

It turned out that when Orochimaru defected from Konoha and his emissary first arrived in the Land of Fields, he proposed mutual learning of Ninjutsu with the Fuma Clan, and promised to let the Fuma Clan join his Hidden Village.

Fuma Sasami's cousin, Fuma Arashi, as the representative of the Clan, was the hope for the revival of the entire Fuma Clan. Therefore, he went to the Hidden Sound Village with Orochimaru's emissary, but since then, there had been no news from him.

"I see..."

After listening to Fuma Sasami's explanation, Yu's expression became enlightened. He looked at the girl with a softened gaze. "But aren't you a little too trusting of strangers, young girl?"

"I'm not just some little girl!"

Feeling Yu's softened gaze, Fuma Sasami protested somewhat defiantly, but a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes. "By the way, you're not much older than me, right? Oh, and I don't even know your name yet..."

This handsome white-haired youth appeared to be only in his teens at most, yet he could easily defeat over a dozen ninjas from the Hidden Sound Village. This level of strength and talent far exceeded her cousin Fuma Arashi, whom she had always admired.

"I'm Yakushi Yu. Just call me Yu."

As they walked along, Fuma Sasami bombarded Yu with curious questions, and the two figures, one large and one small, gradually disappeared into the distance.
