(Just to clarify beforehand, in the Naruto world, the protagonist is positioned as the antagonist.)
Emerging from the gold exchange, Wang Han, without waiting for Kakuzu and Hidan to speak, activated his 100x speed boost and vanished in the blink of an eye. (The protagonist is currently not using any cheats; he runs at a speed of over ten meters per second. The protagonist practices ordinary martial arts.)
Wang Han knew that Zetsu was nearby. Before addressing his own weaknesses, Wang Han did not intend to have much contact with the Akatsuki organization, nor would he let them know who he was.
"Hahaha..." Seeing the black-armored man disappear, Kakuzu and Hidan looked at each other, then observed their surroundings. After confirming that the black-armored man had left, Hidan burst into laughter. "That bastard is finally gone."
"Let's go, Hidan." Kakuzu said without turning his head, "We need to make money to make up for my losses, and I also need to replenish four hearts."
"So you had four hearts that were ruined," Hidan said in surprise. "I thought you were just pretending to be dead because you only had one heart that was ruined."
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu immediately retorted, "Didn't you also pretend to be dead, being carried around with your head on your back, without daring to even move your eyelids?"
"You're the same way; when someone attacks you, you don't even dare to dodge."

"Such speed! It seems we've been discovered. He's already out of our range." In the forest outside the Gold Exchange, Jue, who had been hiding, emerged from a tree trunk and muttered to himself in surprise. It turned out that his body was black and white, representing two separate consciousnesses.
"We've temporarily lost track of him. Let's go back and tell Ban." My perception range is quite wide. In my perception, the black-armored man actually left my perception range in less than two minutes at a speed of one kilometer per second.
After saying that, Jue disappeared back into the tree and stealthily left.

After leaving the gold exchange, Wang Han used a speed hack to reach the Land of Waves.
Upon arriving in the Land of Waves, Wang Han finally changed out of his armor and into the common clothing of the Naruto world—a black tracksuit. He then entered a town in the Land of Waves, intending to hide there temporarily as a small merchant. In his spare time, he would pretend to be an ordinary merchant, secretly learning the writing and language of the Naruto world using his identification ability. Under the guise of traveling as a merchant, he would secretly kill rogue ninjas, making money while learning and stealing ninjutsu to make up for his shortcomings.
After Wang Han arrived in town, the locals were filled with curiosity about this tall, unfamiliar merchant who was at least 1.9 meters tall. The young, tall, and handsome Wang Han also attracted the attention of many young girls. The only pity was that he was mute and could not write, not even his own name, making communication with him difficult. No one knew his name, and they all called him a traveling merchant.
However, this person was quite shrewd and good at accounting; he was cut out to be a businessman. His main business was trading unique medicinal herbs and rare specialties from various regions. He bought and sold as he traveled, and although he was alone, he still made a decent living. Even when the notorious merchant Kado blocked trade in the Land of Waves, it didn't affect him much. He simply stopped buying and selling the Land of Waves' specialties, and he didn't end up destitute like the others.
…………………………………………
It is now the year 60 of Konoha. Wang Han has been in the world of Naruto for two years. In these two years, Wang Han has not only learned the language and writing of this world, but also refined his chakra to the level of a Chunin, using both lightning and fire styles. Without any special abilities, his taijutsu has also reached the level of a Chunin specializing in taijutsu. Furthermore, Wang Han has collected a large number of ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu techniques. He has also learned some ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu.
Wang Han no longer wants to stay in the Land of Waves pretending to be mute, and he wants to continue to improve his strength. The Land of Waves is no longer suitable for him, and the start of the story is a good opportunity.
Wang Han closed the door of his house, carried a large bag on his back, and led his two horses, preparing to leave the Land of Waves.
"Brother traveling merchant, are you going to Konoha this time?" A little boy wearing a white hat caught up with Wang Han as he was leaving and asked expectantly, "When you come back from your business trip, could you ask the ninjas of Konoha to drive away Gato?"
This child is named Inari, the grandson of Danaz, the bridge-building master of the Land of Waves. Three years ago, his stepfather was publicly executed by Gato for rebelling against him. Inari was depressed for a long time because of this. His condition improved after Wang Han came to this town and he met the equally silent Wang Han. He also took the mute Wang Han as the person he confided in.
Wang Han looked at the child in front of him and nodded. He was also somewhat annoyed with Gato. Previously, Gato's blockade of the Land of Waves had actually benefited him, making it easier for him to live in seclusion and cultivate. Therefore, he hadn't taken action to eliminate him. However, now that it was the sixtieth year of Konoha, the main storyline was about to begin, and Wang Han planned to move to a different place. This time, he would use Konoha's influence and name to eliminate Gato and his forces.
………………………………………………
One week later.
"Traveling merchant, what good things have you brought this time?" As Wang Han walked through the gate of Konoha Village, the gatekeeper, Gangzi Tie, greeted him familiarly and said, "Let me see first, and I'll buy anything I like."
Izumo also came over.
This wasn't Wang Han's first time visiting Konoha. He was a mute traveling merchant who almost always brought rare items from the Land of Waves or the Land of Wind, or from the Land of Lightning or the Land of Earth. Sometimes he would also bring some precious medicinal herbs or materials. Although these items weren't expensive, they were still hard to find in Konoha, and they were sold cheaply, making them very popular with the residents and ninjas of Konoha.
Upon hearing this, Wang Han took a box from his horse. The box was filled with fragile items. Wang Han opened the box and gestured for the two of them to choose whatever they wanted.
"How much is this?" Gangzi Tie asked, taking a piece of colorful coral out of the box.
Wang Han took out a pen and paper and wrote a number on it.
"Thirty thousand taels, huh? Well, I don't have that much money with me right now. You keep it for me, and I'll come to your usual inn this evening," Gangzi Tie said. He put the coral back into the straw-lined box.
Wang Han nodded in agreement. Izumo, however, hadn't found anything he liked, so Wang Han opened a few more boxes and bags to show him before leading two packhorses into Konoha.
……………………………………
"Traveling merchant, wait a minute." On the street, a man wearing a ninja headband called out to Wang Han, saying, "You've come at just the right time. Do you have any valuable items? My son is taking the genin exam today, and I want to pick something out as a gift for him. Buying things in stores is too expensive, and you have many things that you can't find in stores."
Wang Han nodded, led the horse to the roadside, and unloaded the box for the man to choose from. While the man was selecting, several more residents and ninjas gathered around. They thought the mute traveling merchant's goods were quite good; not only were they genuine, but they were also rare and inexpensive. It was a pity he was mute; he could only recognize the numbers on the money and couldn't read.
Looking at the customers making their selections, Wang Han thought to himself, 'So today is the Genin Exams. I've arrived at just the right time.'
