Night.
Steam filled the bathroom.
Izayoi lay in the bathtub, hands behind his head, looking at the misty ceiling.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that his blue eyes had changed from their usual appearance.
The color wasn't as deep as usual, turning into a lighter sky blue, and the black pupils had also been assimilated into blue, with white light slowly flowing out from within, forming a beautiful white petal-like shape that seemed to move around him.
Looking even closer, one would see that Izayoi was in a daze.
Because his gaze wasn't actually on the ceiling, but rather, it penetrated the house, overlooking the entire Konoha from a god-like perspective.
In Izayoi's view, Konoha at this moment, whether it was the urban area, the suburbs, or the forest, was surrounded by a circular wall about twenty meters high.
If the ground were a little more concave, then looking down from above, the entire Konoha would look like a pot, with the urban area and the forest inside resembling the vegetables in the pot.
Moreover, above this pot, there was a transparent cover, covering Konoha entirely.
Not only the ground, but even underground had transparent walls.
Whether it was people inside or outside, as soon as they touched the transparent wall, their Chakra and location would be immediately captured by the Sensor Team.
This was Konoha's Sensory Barrier.
Even the Six Paths of Pain could only choose to expose the location of one clone to force their way in.
However, there was no perfect Ninjutsu in this world, and the Sensory Barrier was no exception.
The massive barrier had a gap, which was the entrance to the village.
Under non-emergency and special circumstances, there would be no barrier at the village entrance, otherwise it would only increase the burden on the Sensor Ninjas.
Even so, the barrier would disappear for a while every day.
This time of disappearance was when the Sensor Ninjas changed shifts.
"Changing shifts every six hours, which means it disappears four times a day?"
Izayoi muttered to himself with a smile.
At some point, he had already returned from the bathtub to the bed, and it was already late at night outside.
After finding the flaw in the Sensory Barrier, Izayoi's gaze left Konoha and constantly switched perspectives along the eastern part of the Land of Fire.
Soon, his gaze came to a wilderness area.
There were several tents set up there, and the people inside were already fast asleep.
There was a bonfire in the open space, and a young man was keeping watch, it was Sasuke Uchiha.
"Only traveled this little distance, plenty of time." Izayoi glanced at Tazuna one last time, and smiled, "So pitiful, let me help you out."
That's right, Izayoi was preparing to participate in the Land of Waves storyline.
Manufacturing puppets and Chakra cores required materials, and the materials either had to be found by himself, or bought with money.
After buying the camera, Izayoi had already become penniless.
If he only did D-rank missions, he didn't know how long it would take to save enough money to buy materials to make puppets.
Izayoi was originally troubled about how to get money, whether to do missions normally to save money, or to find some underworld forces to rob.
Seeing Tazuna today suddenly reminded him of someone, and he made a decision.
Kado, one of the world's leading tycoons, specializes in illegal activities.
As long as he robs him, even if Izayoi retires on the spot and doesn't become a ninja, he won't have to worry about money in the future.
As for puppet materials, he can have as much as he wants.
Thinking of this, Izayoi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, preparing to rob the rich and help the poor tomorrow.
...
The next day at noon.
Izayoi took the reward he had saved from doing missions during this period and went to the ninja tool shop to buy two Storage Scrolls. Then, he created a Shadow Clone with a huge amount of Chakra. The main body took advantage of the Sensor Team's rotation to sneak out of Konoha and headed straight for the Land of Waves.
The Land of Waves is a very small island country.
Since it is an island country, it is naturally not on the ninja continent.
However, its distance from the ninja continent is only a bridge away.
This small island is located in the sea at the eastern end of the Land of Fire.
As long as you come to the end, you can vaguely see the outline of a small island at a glance.
Izayoi, who can see any place in the Land of Fire from a distance, can naturally see this small island now.
He had just left Konoha, and Izayoi had already found Kado.
This is the horror of the Tenseigan.
The huge Tenseigan on the Moon can even monitor the entire Shinobi World.
Such long-range vision and perspective allow him to have an absolute information advantage no matter what he does.
Konoha is located in the central area of the Land of Fire. A ninja can travel at full speed and reach the end of any area in less than a day.
In the original story, in the chapter where they chased Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki and the other little strong ones arrived at the forest at the northern end from the village in less than a day.
Izayoi only took three hours to surpass the Seventh Squad, who were still walking.
Even the Demon Brothers are still waiting for them ahead.
At this rate, by the time they arrive in the Land of Waves by boat, Izayoi will have already left.
Before reaching the eastern end, Izayoi took off into the air, preparing to enter the Land of Waves by flying.
The scene came to the sky, and Izayoi had changed his appearance, becoming the mysterious black-robed man from when he robbed Sasori of the Red Sand.
White long hair fluttering in the wind.
The pure white mask without any patterns or eye holes made his appearance look a little creepy.
His flying posture was full of a powerful aura.
Arriving in the skies above the Land of Waves, Izayoi wasted no words and landed directly outside Kado's residence, a luxurious villa.
Then, he strode inside.
At this moment, Kado was in a conversation with a man covered in bandages.
"Zabuza, are your two subordinates reliable? It's been over a week; they can't even handle an old man?" Kado's voice was filled with displeasure.
"That old man is lucky. When the Demon Brothers found him, he had already hidden in Konoha. But with his poor appearance, he has no money to hire Konoha ninjas to escort him back. When he can't stay in Konoha any longer, his death will be when he comes out," Zabuza Momochi said indifferently. "If they fail, then I will personally take action."
"Hmph, I hope so," Kado snorted.
"Where does an ordinary person get the courage to speak to a rogue ninja with ace combat strength like that?"
Just then, a voice entered the ears of Kado, Zabuza Momochi, and Haku, who was standing in a corner, seemingly blending into the shadows.
Izayoi stepped in, looking at Zabuza Momochi, who was covered in bandages and sitting on a sofa with a large blade beside him, and asked curiously, "Is the brainwashing in your Hidden Mist Village that successful? Even after defecting, you still adhere to professional ethics?"
Before Zabuza Momochi could speak, a figure appeared in front of him.
Haku raised his hand and condensed several senbon, his tone heavy as he said, "Zabuza-sama, be careful, this person... is very strong!"
Zabuza Momochi stood up, picked up the Executioner's Blade, and the corner of his mouth under the bandages slightly curved, filled with a bloodthirsty desire as he said, "I can see that he is an unruly guy worth cutting down."
