The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage-Chapter 127: Journey to the Land of Waves

This mission is to protect the Daimyo of the Land of Waves. Ensure that his policies can be implemented smoothly. In fact, the Land of Waves appeared in the first part of Naruto. It was Tazuna who tricked Team 7 into protecting him with the commission of a C-rank mission. During this period, they had a confrontation with Suikazan. Although the outcome was good, regarding Tazuna's actions, Kazekaze couldn't agree with them.

On one hand, he said building the bridge was the hope of the country, but on the other, he was unwilling to pay more. In Kazekaze's view, it's no different from being hypocritical. However, these are matters for the future. The urgent task is to quickly head to the Land of Waves to protect the Daimyo of this country.

After a day of rest, everyone set off for the Land of Waves. However, Torifu took the Red Chili Pill to defeat Kazekaze, causing severe side effects to his body, requiring rest to recover. Therefore, Torifu did not participate in this mission. Kazekaze served as the captain, leading Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu, Homura, and Kagami. Together, they served as the Daimyo's guards.

Since there were no advanced transportation tools in this era, Kazekaze and the others had to travel on foot and then take a boat to the Land of Waves. In fact, the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire do not share a border; they are separated by the sea. It is precisely because of this that Gatō, who controls maritime transportation, was able to grasp the lifeline of the Land of Waves. Even the Daimyo's power was far inferior to his. Of course, this is also a story for later.

"The Daimyo should be the leader of a country, right? Why would he hire us as guards instead of choosing from their own ninja village?" On the way, out of boredom, Koharu started chatting with everyone. Although she would later enter the upper echelons of Konoha, serving as a Hokage advisor and overseeing the administrative department, now she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. She didn't know much about many things in this world.

"Not every country has its own ninja village; the Land of Waves is a nation without ninjas," Hiruzen explained. "The Land of Waves is a very small country surrounded by the sea, with almost no ninjas. The Daimyo's guard duties are handled by samurai. While samurai are more than capable of dealing with ordinary people, against ninjas, samurai seem weak."

Hiruzen had a lot of information about some matters in the ninja world. In fact, every country's Daimyo has an army composed of samurai. For example, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has tens of thousands of samurai serving him. But only a very small number of samurai can use Chakra. Once they encounter an Elite Jonin, they basically have no chance to fight back. Moreover, since this mission is S-rank, Hiruzen believes their chances of encountering ninjas can be said to be one hundred percent.

"In the end, small countries like the Land of Waves have poor economies and average living standards," Hiruzen couldn't help but shake his head. "Yet the Daimyo is willing to pay two million ryo to hire ninjas. He must really be in big trouble this time."

Two million ryo is a considerable income for a ninja village like Konoha. Especially when Tobirama mentioned the figure of two million, Kazekaze felt his eyes light up. If not for considering hostile relations, Kazekaze really thought Tobirama might get along well with Kakuzu.

'I never expected Tobirama to have such a big interest in money...' Kazekaze couldn't help but complain in his heart. But thinking about it carefully, it's not really surprising. The Hidden Leaf Village was just recently founded. Whatever you do, you need money. The carving of the Hokage Rock, the establishment of the village—you can't let all the villagers sleep on the streets, can you? All sorts of things, which one doesn't need money?

As the acting village head of Konoha, Tobirama naturally needs a lot of funds to implement his policies. And winning people's hearts and developing the village. In fact, from Hashirama's proposal to distribute the tailed beasts at the Five Kage Summit, you can see Tobirama's insistence on money. Money, this kind of thing, is truly important. Even the God of Ninjutsu, without money, would have a headache.

Based on various relationships, as long as Kazekaze can complete this mission and earn the two million ryo reward, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement. The contribution to the village would definitely be significant! At the same time, it would also allow Kazekaze to gain a lot of prestige! Moreover, since he's only seven years old, becoming famous throughout the village wouldn't be difficult.

Thinking this way, 'Tobirama's schemes are really interconnected and intricately linked. In a few words, he's laid out the path I need to take and the things I need to do.' Suddenly, Kazekaze felt Tobirama's depth of character. It was simply unfathomable. How far could his vision really see? I have to say, having a grandfather like Tobirama is simply too great.

After several days of walking, Kazekaze and his group reached the shore. The boat sent by the Land of Waves had been waiting here for a long time. Because there was no need to worry about thugs like Gatō, the boat from the Land of Waves was not like the one used by Team 7, which was just a small boat cautiously taking them to the Land of Waves. Of course, this one wasn't particularly grand either. The Warring States period had only ended ten years ago, and everyone was not wealthy. Let alone the Land of Waves. Being able to provide a sailboat at this time was already very sincere.

"You all must be the ninjas from Konoha Village, right? Let me introduce myself, I'm Kabi, a samurai guard for the Daimyo of the Land of Waves." Kabi approached Hiruzen and introduced himself solemnly. No matter how he looked at it, he thought Hiruzen was the leader of this team. The two sides exchanged pleasantries. After confirming that Kazekaze and the others were from Konoha Village, Kabi ordered the sails to be raised and set sail for the Land of Waves.

However, Kabi didn't say much about the Daimyo. He only said that once they reached the Land of Waves and met the Daimyo, they would naturally understand the whole story. Seeing that Kabi didn't say much, Kazekaze and the others didn't bother to ask further and simply rested in the cabin.

"What do you think, if we encounter enemy ninjas, which village would they be from?" Homura, sitting on a chair, couldn't help but feel curious.

"There are so many ninja villages, who could guess that?" Koharu said without thinking.

"Well, first of all, by elimination, it's definitely not Konoha." Kazekaze picked up the conversation, jokingly saying, to ease the dull atmosphere. However, "Hidden Sand Village and Hidden Stone Village are too far from the Land of Waves, so they probably wouldn't be the first choice. And ninjas from outside the Five Great Ninja Villages wouldn't make the Daimyo so apprehensive. So the enemies are only left with Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Mist Village. Hidden Mist Village is famous for assassinations. I guess it's most likely ninjas from Hidden Mist Village." After some analysis, Kazekaze shared his thoughts.
