The information obtained by Orochimaru was not easy to come by, but the most important part that could be confirmed was that Orochimaru would never give up Uchiha Sasuke. Even if he was in trouble for a while, as long as he recovered, he would definitely come back to rescue Uchiha Sasuke.

"Should the Genin know about this?"

Mizuki asked worriedly.

Kakashi shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary. "So far, our intelligence should have a certain advantage. The details of this mission have been kept confidential. We should not be targeted deliberately. However, we can never guarantee that there will be any mistakes..."

"I see. I see. So, the attack will definitely come, but not necessarily during this mission."

"right."

"This kind of uncertain information is the most annoying thing."

"Stop complaining, isn't that what ninjas are all about?" Hatake Kakashi said calmly. "If there really was a foolproof mission, we could just send the right people to complete it, and the ninja world wouldn't be so messed up."

"You're right. Isn't the job of a ninja to solve this kind of trouble?"

Mizuki had no choice but to agree with Kakashi's point of view.

…

The Land of Water is the farthest country from Konoha among the five great ninja villages, so the Hidden Mist Village is also isolated overseas, with inconvenient transportation. It is extremely far away. Due to the risk of being attacked, Kakashi and Mizuki walked quickly. Most of the way was within the Land of Fire. After reaching the seaside, they changed boats and went out to sea.

At least within the territory of the Land of Fire, since it was still within the sphere of influence of the Leaf Village, there was still some basic protection. A large-scale siege was impossible, and a small-scale elite raid was basically impossible to threaten Hatake Kakashi and Mizuki. Along the way, it was relatively stable.

After rushing and hurrying, the team finally arrived at the beach before dark and could finally rest.

"We will rest in this town tonight and go out to sea on a passenger ship tomorrow."

Hatake Kakashi made the decision to stay temporarily. In the past two or three days, they have been walking in the primitive jungle. Although ninjas will not be hindered, who would like to camp in the wild when there are comfortable rooms to rest? In the late summer, in this land of fire with a high greening rate, there is not only fresh air, but also countless annoying mosquitoes. Even if there are some standard insect repellents, it is impossible to completely block this species with the strongest survival and adaptability in the world.

After arranging the accommodation, the Genin were allowed to move freely, but they were not allowed to be alone, so as to avoid unexpected changes. Hatake Kakashi went to contact the ship for tomorrow's departure.

Mizuki was alone and habitually set up some warnings and traps. Although he had the super reconnaissance ability of the three Genin in Team 8, Mizuki still liked to control the intelligence with ease. The Genin's experience was always insufficient and problems might arise at any time.

Shuimu habitually found a secluded high point and quietly observed this small seaport that was developed due to shipping and trade. As long as there is demand, people will set foot in it, even if it means going to the notorious "Land of Blood Mist". For the sake of profit, a group of desperate businessmen and adventurers constantly went to the Land of Water to pan for gold. Over the years, this relatively popular coastal town was created. This small town, which was formed by a special environment and pattern, revealed a kind of deformed prosperity everywhere. The surface peace and some dark sides hidden in the dark began to show up in front of Shuimu as the sky gradually darkened.

Fraud, extortion, fighting, and a place full of debauchery and material desires, as well as the displaced civilians and orphans not far away, were all clearly visible to Shuimu's perception.

"This world is truly terminally ill. Outside of Konoha Village, the reality of this world is so cruel. No wonder there are so many people with lofty ideals who want to change this world..."

The law of world development is like this, Shuimu has no idea, and even those street kids, Shuimu has no way to do anything. If Shuimu can't save this corrupt world, can he save a few unfortunate people? That's too naive.

Mizuki knew clearly that the Genin from Team 7 and Team 8 who were passing by gave some food and property out of sympathy, but after they left, they were robbed by several bigger beggars in the blink of an eye. Several of the little guys were also beaten up and lay on the ground covered with wounds. They not only did not get any benefits, but also suffered a lot.

"well."

Mizuki sighed, and soon appeared in front of several homeless children who were injured and unconscious. He used medical ninjutsu to treat them, and only stopped after making sure that they were all fine.

"Kakashi, are you just going to watch these Genin do something stupid?"

Mizuki asked into the empty night.

"Aren't you just going to watch?" Following the voice, Kakashi walked out of the shadows.

Shuimu smiled helplessly: "It would be better to let these little ghosts remain kind and sunny in their innocent years."

Kakashi nodded in agreement: "After all, it's not the Ninja War yet. I remember going to the battlefield..."

"Stop, Kakashi." Mizuki couldn't help but said, "I wasn't like you. I was promoted to a Jonin at the age of twelve and then went to the battlefield. At that time, I was just an ordinary Genin, a handyman, and I didn't have as much experience as you."

"Really? Haha." Kakashi said with an awkward smile, "I mean, the current environment is different from that time after all. Let them believe in this world a little more."

"You sound as if you don't believe it anymore."

Hatake Kakashi did not respond to Mizuki's teasing, but turned around and asked, "Do you want to teach those guys over there a lesson?"

"Forget it, Kakashi. Those people are just a bunch of pitiful creatures, living at the bottom of society. Their sad lives are doomed. They can only bully those who are weaker than themselves to survive."

"In the final analysis, we can't do anything. Even if we have power, we still can't change the world."

Konoha Village can take in one or two war orphans, but it is impossible to take in all those who need help. No one can do that.

"Your idea is very dangerous, Kakashi." Mizuki couldn't help but remind him, "Let the Daimyo and the Hokage take care of this kind of thing. After all, we are just ninjas and can't take care of so many things..."

People who think too much and want to manage these things may not have power, but those who have power will eventually embark on the path of "savior", and then become unable to extricate themselves from the fantasy of saving the world, and eventually become the source of unrest.
