Of the Five Great Countries, only the Water Country's Dedale hadn't been there, so he locked his target on Ninja Mist.
However, the Water Country was an island country far away from the mainland. It rarely interacted with other vassal states and was almost isolated. The outside world knew very little about the Hidden Fog Ninja Village. Other than the commander of the Hidden Fog Ninja Village, Shui Ying, the only other person they knew about was the famous 'Fog Ninja Seven Blades Clan'!
The current leader of the Hidden Fog Village, the fourth generation Mezumi Kageyakura, was being controlled by the masked man, Uchiha. He was trying his best to implement a cruel rule to kill the ninjas in the village who had the Blood Succession Limit. He also caused the Hidden Fog Village to lose diplomatic relations and be isolated from the outside world for a long time.
Dedale didn't have any plans to fight Uchiha, so he naturally wouldn't touch the fourth-generation Mizuki, so he locked his target on the Ninjato Seven.
The Fog Ninja Seven Blade Clan was a title that could be inherited. As long as one possessed one of the seven ninjatas with special abilities, one would be considered to have inherited the broadsword and would also receive the title of " Seven Ninjatos ".
The inheritance of the broadsword was not a peaceful handover to the next generation, but through bloody slaughter. As long as you had enough strength to snatch the broadsword from the hands of the seven ninjas and kill them, you would be the new owner of the broadsword.
This bloody game of snatching and guarding the sabers had always been played in Hidden Fog Village. No one felt that there was anything wrong with this. Everyone agreed with this rule and pounced on the seven sabers one after another.
Therefore, every one of the Mist Ninjas who possessed a broadsword was powerful and cold-blooded. The broadsword in their hands had a unique ability that was very suitable for their ninjas, and they had been demonized into machines that only knew how to kill.
As they were dissatisfied with the bloody rule of the fourth generation of the Ninjato clan, many of the Ninjato Seven betrayed and fled Hidden Fog Village. They took their ninjato and wandered around Ninja Realm alone. It was very difficult to find traces of these people.
Dedale was relatively lucky. According to the information, the two members of the Seven he had found-the owner of the exploding blade, Droplet, Wuli Jinba, and the owner of the long blade, Stitching Needle, Chestnut Graupel Chuanmaru, had just decided to defect and hadn't left the Water Country yet.
As a result, Dedale was in a hurry. He didn't want to miss these two.
Dedale wasn't interested in their heads. 40 million taels was indeed a considerable amount of wealth, but Dedale had earned several times that amount in the past year and a half. He wasn't short of money at all.
Dedale was interested in the broadsword in their hands. Although Dedale was a long-range ninja and the broadsword didn't have much effect on his strength, he was still interested in the broadsword. He had always been curious about how the Kinki Shark had fused with the Shark Muscle Broadsword. It was not a bad idea to snatch it and study it when he had nothing to do.
After catching a large and fat carp from the sea, Dedale used the Fire Escape Ninjutsu he had already mastered to carefully roast it. After finishing his lunch, he once again rushed to the Water Country without stopping.
The large carp caught in the sea was rich in fat, tender, and nutritious. It was very delicious after being roasted. Dedale had eaten three of them the first time he tried it. However, after eating it too many times, even the delicacies would get boring.
When the huge wheel of fire leaped onto the sea surface and illuminated the entire archipelago, Dedale, who was riding on the clay bird, rushed to the Water Country.
This was not the only name for the Water Country. It also had a literary name, the Country of Fog. This was also the origin of the name of the Fog Enduring Bearer.
This country was covered in fog almost all year round. For example, the Fog Ninja Village was located in a valley with towering mountains. Once an enemy invaded, the Fog Ninja would activate the barrier. In the deep fog, it was impossible to see anything. If one was not from the Fog Ninja Village, they would not be able to tell the direction after entering.
Of course, not every place was covered in thick fog like the one in Kirin Village. After all, the dense fog was intentionally created by the ninjas of Kirin Village. Not only could it hide the Kirin during wartime, but it was also a special barrier to protect Kirin Village.
Noon was the best time for outsiders to enter the Water Country. The sun hung high in the sky, and the scorching heat could evaporate a lot of the floating fog, revealing the entire island.
Dedale didn't have enough patience to wait. He found a relatively safe landing point according to the map and controlled his giant bird to enter the fog, disappearing without a trace.
The border was always the center of defense for the hidden villages of various countries, and the Water Country was no exception. Moreover, the Water Country had an advantage that other countries didn't have. Because of the sea separating it from the other vassal kingdoms, the villagers of the Water Country rarely left their own country to go to other countries.
This allowed the Hidden Fog Village ninjas to set up all kinds of traps and barriers at the border as they pleased without worrying about their own citizens accidentally touching them and putting their lives in danger. The merchants from other countries who came to the Water Country to do business would be personally received by the Hidden Fog Village ninjas, so they wouldn't be in danger. Only those who wanted to secretly invade the Water Country would have the chance to fall into the trap. The Hidden Fog Village had never been merciful to these people.
Dedale wasn't clear about this, but it had nothing to do with him. He had flown in, so he naturally wouldn't have touched those traps.
The sky was a forbidden zone that most ninjas could only dream of. Even if they had superb skills, they could not climb high into the sky and enjoy the pleasure of overlooking the entire world. This thought was deeply rooted in their minds, so much so that they thought that no one could conquer the sky. It was not surprising that they had forgotten the defense of this area.
Even though Dedale had already installed a small telescope on his left eye, it wasn't a high-end item like an infrared telescope that could detect hidden enemies by sensing the temperature. In such foggy weather, even Dedale couldn't distinguish directions, let alone find people.
Dedale didn't dare to be careless and immediately put away the clay bird and switched to an owl. Owls didn't have night vision, but they could accurately capture underground rats at night because of their developed auditory nerves. Through the time difference between the sound transmitted to the left and right ears, the owl could accurately distinguish the location of the sound source. Even when it was pouncing on its prey, its hearing still played a role in locating it. It released a large number of clay bats and used the information they fed back to understand their current environment.
The effect of this method was obvious. Dedale discovered four waves of ninja squads passing by him. Because he had adjusted the owl's flight altitude in advance, they didn't have Dedale above them.
