It's just a trip to the Mist Village, not some perilous dragon's den. Look at you, acting like we're doomed. What, you're hoping something goes wrong for us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya stared, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that really what he meant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, we're heading out. We'll talk after the mission,\" Minato said, holding back a laugh as he ushered Takuya away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You two brats better come back here and explain yourselves!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya, now thoroughly exasperated, watched as Takuya and Minato took off to the deserted island where they'd all previously rested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they landed, Takuya brushed himself off, grumbling, \"I had no idea Jiraiya was such a worrywart. How did I not notice this before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato chuckled wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher's just concerned for our safety, especially since we're sneaking into the Mist Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was way riskier than causing chaos from a distance; they were heading straight into the heart of the Mist Village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. You stay here and rest, recover your chakra. Once I'm inside the Mist Village, I'll signal you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you managed to sneak into the Cloud Village, the Mist Village should be nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, the Mist Village was harder to infiltrate than the Cloud Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Cloud Village, you could walk right in; the Mist Village wasn't as welcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially during wartime, their security would be tight, and they wouldn't let outsiders in easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what if it was hard to infiltrate? The Mist and Cloud Villages didn't pose the same level of threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's no exaggeration to say the Third Raikage alone made the Cloud Village significantly more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Third Raikage could do that, the Third Mizukage certainly couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a decrepit old man, practically in his grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as someone who couldn't act freely, he'd risk exposure with any sudden moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya was almost hoping the Third Mizukage would try something, just to let the Mist Village see what kind of leader they really had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful and signal me when you're in,\" Minato reminded him, clutching a specially crafted kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With it, Takuya only needed to channel his chakra for Minato to sense him and instantly teleport to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Minato, with Takuya's little companion now asleep, his strength must have taken a dip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A solo infiltration of the Mist Village was a risky mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. Even if I end up sweeping through the entire Mist Village, I'll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, Takuya had already disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato's mouth twitched; he couldn't help but flip off the direction Takuya had gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, yeah right! Sure, you'll just 'sweep through the Mist Village.' If that were possible, why would we even bother with all this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why bother with a war at all? We could just waltz through the Mist Village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing but a barren wasteland.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking on water as if it were solid ground, Takuya moved steadily toward the Mist Village, concealing his presence completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick fog covered the sea near the Mist Village, making it hard to spot anyone approaching unless they got too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone else attempted this, they'd probably be exhausted before they even reached the Mist Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Takuya had no worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing else, he had chakra for days and wasn't concerned about running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, Takuya had to admire the people of the Land of Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their islands might be plentiful, but most were rocky and unsuited for farming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet somehow, they built up a hidden village and sustained it — no easy feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was tougher than growing crops in the sandy dunes of the Sand Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the Land of Wind was mostly desert, but at least it had oases for agriculture. But the Land of Water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perpetually shrouded in mist, with very little arable land, making agriculture there was a real challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crops probably wouldn't survive in such an environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's similar to the Land of Rain, where even rice can drown; conditions like these can be brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the other villages always want a piece of the Land of Fire — it's in prime territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just a shame the Land of Fire is stuck with officials who only know how to waste resources, letting its economy fall behind even mountainous countries like the Land of Lightning. Ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Useless, all of them. Absolute deadweight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya skipped across the island chains, moving toward the Mist Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Hōzuki Soen, dispatched by Yagura, was still searching for their trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless islands made it hard to search systematically, and he hadn't found any sign of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other option, Hōzuki Soen could only go from island to island, searching every single one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What drove him crazy was that two whole days had passed, and he hadn't seen even a trace of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of Yagura mocking him for failing this mission, maybe even pinning him down on a bench, made Hōzuki Soen feel murderous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, where are these fools hiding?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the command ship, Yagura glanced at the intel that had been sent back, a faint smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Hōzuki Soen frantically searched for the enemy, Yagura suspected they'd already withdrawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days with no sightings, it seemed like the most logical explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they hadn't left, all those islands would make any search near impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go on, keep searching; I hope you never find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though wartime should unite everyone against foreign threats, Yagura wouldn't mind if Hōzuki Soen got stuck in the back lines, far away from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any updates from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, they've successfully infiltrated the Land of Fire and are preparing to cut off Konoha's supply lines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope they complete their mission smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, along with members of the Hōzuki clan and their allies, had been sent out, lowering the army's overall strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yagura was willing to take a slight hit in strength if it meant keeping certain people from causing him trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to act out, it'd be better if they didn't come back at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-06-05T21:22:57.501Z",1,"novelbin.me","c05674bc252d7d9d3fe18d723d7719337b13262e4624d8956a3a6335e8b94abc","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-1026","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-1024",2215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-cover.jpg"]
