Suddenly, a golden Chakra wave lit up in front of Shisui without warning.
The next second, Shun's figure appeared out of thin air before everyone's eyes.
Shun's gaze swept over everyone as he said, "Shisui, Itachi, Nawaki, your mission has ended early. I'm going to take you back to the Land of Water."
Actually, he would occasionally take the queens to the Nameless Planet to train, and the children needed someone to look after them, so he thought of Itachi as the perfect nanny.
Shisui's heart tightened, and he immediately bowed respectfully. "Understood, clan head."
Itachi's eyes lit up, with a hint of excited eagerness to take credit. "Father! This is Guren, a beauty I found for you, possessing the rare Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai. What do you think?"
Shun's gaze swept over Guren, appraising her from head to toe.
Guren wore a green dress, her blue hair tied high, exuding an arrogant and captivating aura. She was indeed a rare mature-type beauty.
He nodded in satisfaction. "Itachi, you truly are my good son. Not bad, you have good taste."
Itachi quickly pointed to Nurari and the others behind Guren and said, "Guren's companions want to join our Land of Water. They are all excellent ninjas and can contribute to the Land of Water."
Shun looked at the group of subordinates standing ramrod straight and said, "Hmm, you can arrange it. I have no objections. Itachi, you've been out for over four months. Sasuke, Karin, and the others are constantly talking about you."
Hearing "the children miss you," Itachi immediately smiled. After being away for so long, he also missed his younger siblings at home.
Immediately after, Shun raised his hand to form a hand sign, and a complex black formula instantly appeared on the ground.
"Don't be nervous, I'm sending you back to the Land of Water."
The next second, after a slight dizzying sensation, when everyone opened their eyes, they were already in a magnificent mansion.
The courtyard was fully equipped with rockeries, flowing water, pavilions, and towers, and twelve servants in uniforms successively ran out to line up and wait.
Shun said, "This is a mansion near the royal palace, and it will be Guren's residence from now on. You are responsible for taking care of her daily life and must not be negligent."
The many servants bowed and responded, "Understood."
The female housekeeper respectfully stepped forward and bowed slightly to Guren. "Guren-sama, I am the housekeeper of this residence. If you have any needs in the future, you can command me."
Guren nodded slightly, sighing inwardly at the prosperity and heritage of the Land of Water.
Her subordinates stood in the courtyard, looking at the exquisite architecture and elegant gardens around them, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This was a life they had never dared to dream of before.
Shun looked at Guren and the others and said, "Guren and her companions are visiting the Land of Water for the first time and are unfamiliar with it. Nawaki and Anko, please take them to the Guard Department to register their identities first. After that, take them on a tour of the capital to familiarize them with the environment."
Nawaki's face was adorned with a hearty smile as he said, "Understood."
Anko nodded. She took a map from her ninja tool pouch, and handed it to Guren. "This is a simple map of the capital of the Land of Water, with key areas marked. Take a look at it first."
Immediately after, a faint golden light emanated from Shun's body, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
Watching Shun leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Nawaki clapped his hands and was the first to walk towards the street. "Let's go to the Guard Department first. Registering identities is quick. Once that's done, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Guren and the others quickly followed. As soon as they stepped out of the mansion, they were stunned by the sight before them.
The capital of the Land of Water was far more prosperous than they had imagined.
On the wide concrete streets, pedestrians came and went like shuttles, and carriages were constant.
The surrounding shops were filled with a dazzling array of goods.
There were also vendors pushing carts and loudly hawking their wares, creating a lively yet orderly scene.
"Is... is this the capital of the Land of Water?" Kigiri couldn't help but murmur to himself.
In the Land of Birds, he was accustomed to dilapidated houses and fleeing refugees. He had never imagined that the ninja world could have such a prosperous place.
Rinji also widened his eyes, his gaze drawn to the delicacies in the street-side shops, and his steps slowed a few beats.
Guren looked at everything before her, her heart also filled with emotion.
The Land of Birds was plagued by constant warfare, its people displaced, and its streets filled with crumbling walls, yet this place was like another world, stable and prosperous.
She suddenly understood why Shisui would say that joining the Land of Water was a better choice.
Seeing that everyone was still looking amazed, Anko laughed. "Don't just stand there. The Guard Department is just ahead. You'll be living here, so you'll have plenty of time to explore slowly. Go register your identities first, otherwise, you won't be able to stay out too late tonight."
Everyone then snapped back to reality and quickly followed Nawaki and Anko.
The officials at the Guard Department, seeing Nawaki and Anko, immediately greeted them warmly and quickly processed identity cards for Guren and the others.
The cards were printed with their names and photos, and the back was engraved with the emblem of the Land of Water, signifying their official status as citizens of the Land of Water.
Nawaki said earnestly, "You must keep your identity cards safe, losing them will make things very troublesome."
Anko, the food lover, already had a look of craving as she said, "I'm taking you to the snack street now. There are delicacies from various countries there, guaranteed to open your eyes."
The snack street was located in the central area of the capital. As soon as they reached the intersection, a rich aroma wafted towards them.
Both sides of the street were lined with stalls selling grilled meat, spicy skewers, fried rice, cold noodles, and various never-before-seen desserts.
The golden grilled meat sizzled with oil, and various desserts were arranged in exquisite shapes, dazzling the eyes.
"Oh my god... this is too much delicious food."
Nurari's eyes widened as he looked at the delicacies on the stalls, and he couldn't help but gulp.
Gozu walked to a grilled meat stall, his gaze fixed on the sizzling grilled meat, unable to move his feet.
Seeing this, Nawaki walked to the stall with a smile and shouted to the owner, "Boss, two hundred skewers of grilled meat, eight cases of beer, and six portions of each of your special side dishes!"
"Coming right up!" The owner responded enthusiastically, quickly preparing the food.
Soon, steaming grilled meat and side dishes were served.
Guren picked up a skewer of grilled meat and took a small bite. The meat was tender and the sauce was rich, instantly spreading in her mouth, more delicious than any food she had ever tasted before.
Anko looked at her surprised expression and said with a smile, "I brought you here to get you used to the life of ordinary people in the Land of Water. Later, I will take you to famous restaurants in the Land of Water. The food there is super delicious."
While eating the delicacies, everyone listened to Nawaki and Anko introduce the situation in the Land of Water, their hearts growing more and more at peace.
