"Hmm, I also heard from Mr. Zabuza before that the leader of this country's ninja village seems to be a very strong ninja called HanzĆ of the Salamander," Bai said.
"HanzĆ of the Salamander, indeed a very powerful ninja. The title of Konoha's Three Sannin seems to have been bestowed by him," Su You said with a smile.
Many pedestrians passing by heard Su You and Bai's conversation and immediately stopped, looking at them with strange expressions. Some even glared angrily at Su You and Bai, as if they had done something unforgivable, and some even looked at Su You and Bai with fear in their eyes.
Su You and Bai also stopped talking, looking at the expressions of the people around them with surprise. Bai nervously gripped Su You's hand, "Did we say something wrong?" A gentle smile appeared on Su You's face as she friendly asked the people around them.
One person, wearing a raincoat and a conical hat, looked coldly at Su You and Bai, and said in a chilly tone: "You are outsiders, so be careful with your words. Be careful not to lose your life." After saying this, he no longer looked at Su You and Bai, turned around, and left.
Others also either shook their heads or scoffed, then turned and left, making Su You and Bai feel inexplicable.
The Land of Rain, as a medium-sized country, is surrounded by the Land of Wind, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Earth. It has always been one of the main battlefields of the Great Ninja Wars, and this country has implemented a policy of isolation for self-preservation. News is quite restricted, and generally, it's difficult for outsiders to know what's happening.
Because the Land of Grass is to the west of the Land of Rain, and the Land of Whirlpools is to the east of the Land of Rain, between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, to travel from the Land of Grass to the Land of Whirlpools,
one must pass through the Land of Rain, then the Land of Fire, and some smaller countries, before finally reaching the Land of Whirlpools. And if one continues past the Land of Whirlpools, it's the ocean. Crossing the ocean from the Land of Whirlpools will lead to the Land of Water.
And the destination for Su You and Bai this time was to first visit the ruins of the Uzumaki Clan in the Land of Whirlpools, and then travel by boat to the Land of Water. Therefore, they had to pass through the Land of Rain.
Since it was currently a period of peace in the ninja world, other major countries didn't pay much attention to the Land of Rain. For those major countries, the Land of Rain itself was just a battlefield, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.
However, although the Land of Rain is closed off, it still allows travelers from other countries to pass through, such as ordinary nobles, merchants, rogue ninja, samurai, and other countries' ninja.
However, they need to pay an entry fee. This is a major pillar of the Land of Rain's economy. Although it is located between the three great nations, this country's geographical location is also quite sensitive and important. Many people from various countries need to pass through here.
Su You and Bai also paid a considerable entry fee at the border station of the Land of Rain before being allowed to enter the territory of the Land of Rain. The truly completely closed off place in the Land of Rain is only their ninja village, Hidden Rain Village.
Entry and exit management is extremely strict, and anyone who enters Amegakure from the outside will be monitored throughout. If one wishes to meet HanzĆ of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, they will even be searched to absolutely prevent anything unexpected from happening.
"Su You, what's wrong with those people? Did I say anything excessive?" Bai asked Su You somewhat strangely. Su You, meanwhile, slightly narrowed her eyes.
"What's wrong? I heard that HanzĆ of the Salamander, as the leader of Amegakure, is revered and worshipped as a deity in this country.
So, when those people heard us mention HanzĆ of the Salamander's name, they should have shown expressions of admiration and excitement. Why did they show such expressions? How strange," Su You secretly thought to herself.
"Su You, what's wrong with you?" Bai asked, sounding puzzled, as Su You seemed to be lost in thought. "No, nothing. I just felt a little strange, that's all. Never mind, let's not talk about it, it has nothing to do with us. Let's go," Su You said lightly.
"Mhm." Bai nodded, and the two continued to walk forward along the street.
The rain continued to fall incessantly. Crystal clear raindrops slid off the edges of their paper umbrellas. One or two drops of rain landed on their faces, making them feel incredibly refreshed, as if it could wash away the internal anxieties.
The shops on both sides of the street, appearing very old, were still brightly lit. Gradually, a scent began to permeate the airâthe smell of meat. "Let's go eat something. I've been walking for so long, I'm a little hungry." Su You said with a smile.
"Mhm, me too. I've been wandering for so many years, and I've never eaten food from the Land of Rain," Bai said with a smile. The two followed the scent and came to a steaming hot shop. It was a restaurant. Under the large umbrella at the entrance of the shop, there was a huge steaming basket, and an old man was diligently shouting out his wares there.
"So it's steamed buns! It's been so long since I've had them. Truly nostalgic," Su You said with a smile. "These are fresh meat buns, and not just that, there are also fresh dishes inside. How about it, young man, want to try some?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Mhm, let's have four buns first." Su You said with a smile, then said to Bai behind her: "Let's have a few buns to fill our stomachs first. Just eating buns won't do; I still want some dishes to go with my rice."
Bai smiled, and the two received a bag containing four buns, paid the money, and then walked into the restaurant. As soon as they entered the restaurant, a lively atmosphere immediately rushed towards them. The shop was brightly lit, exceptionally bustling, and completely different from the atmosphere outside.
The aroma of wine and meat wafted forth. Inside the shop, there were quite a few merchants from the Land of Rain who had passed through, and even quite a few rogue ninja and samurai, chatting in twos and threes, talking and eating, quite lively.
