"Alright, don't be jealous." Mai waved her hand and interrupted him." How about this? You go back and pack your luggage first. I'll go out and take care of something.”
"Oh, alright."
Naruto nodded. After spending time with his sister, he still listened to his sister.
After all, in order not to be punished by the mission, Mai had already fed Naruto several times over the past half a month. Although she had been very rough with her feeding, almost stuffing the food into his mouth, there were still benefits. At least, she had established the image of family in his heart.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Mai headed to the bookstore to purchase some manuals on geography, history, and politics.
There were also some daily necessities that needed to be prepared for the journey.
Of course, he had to say goodbye to Brother Li on the way.
When they arrived at the small forest behind the Ninja School, they saw Rock Lee exercising as usual.
"Big brother!" Mai smiled as she went up to greet him. She then told him about what had happened today.
"Oh, Mai, are you going to do a C-rank mission? Good luck then. I wish you a safe journey.”
Upon hearing that his precious sister was going on a long journey, Rock Lee did not say much. He just patted Mai on the shoulder and encouraged her. After all, this was something that ninjas had to face sooner or later. In the end, he even gave Mai some medicine for bruises and bruises so that she could prepare it on the way.
"Is that the sister you just acknowledged?”
After Mai left, a calm voice came from behind Rock Lee.
Then, a young man with long brown hair walked out from the tree behind him.
The young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he had delicate features. There was a faint handsome aura between his eyebrows. What was strange was that his eyes were actually white, and there was no black pupil in them.
"Yes, her name is Ayase Mai. She looks very cute, right?”Rock Lee turned his head and said to the young man with a smile.
"That girl is very strong." The young man ignored Rock Lee's words. He only looked at Mai's back from afar, then continued to remain expressionless." However, her lower body is unstable, and her footwork doesn't have any logic. It seems that she doesn't have any foundation in martial arts."”
"Ning Ci, are you interested in her?”
Looking at the young man's expression, Rock Lee suddenly said mischievously.
The young man glanced at him." Don't say such meaningless nonsense. Li, why did you call me here today?" Are you challenging me again?"
"That's right!"
Rock Lee nodded affirmatively.
"I want to prove that hard-working geniuses can also defeat natural geniuses!”
"Ridiculous!" The young man named Ning Ci smirked." You know what? When a natural genius starts working hard, how can a hardworking genius like you catch up? The fate of humans is predestined. Your so-called hard-working genius is just a reason for mortals to comfort themselves.”
"Then I also want to prove that hard-working geniuses are not useless!”
"Alright, then come at me!"
……
After a pleasant shopping session, she returned home with her bags.
Of course, the bag was basically filled with the medicine that Brother Li had given him, as well as tents, binoculars, compressed food, and other things for the trip…The most important thing was the geography, history, and political manuals in the bookstore. Why should he buy them? This was because she wanted to find out more about the Country of Waves and the Country of Honey.
These small details were not in the anime, but in this real world, they could not be ignored.
After telling Naruto to pack his luggage for tomorrow, Mai impatiently went upstairs and opened the book in her hand.
Mai finally understood the current situation of the world after reading through the information.
In short, the current world was not completely peaceful. It was in a situation of " world peace, local war."
After the Third War of the Ninja Realm, the Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Thunder Kingdoms signed a peace treaty, and the world was in a state of peaceful development. However, this was only the case for the five major kingdoms. The other smaller kingdoms, such as the Bird Nation and the Moon Nation, which lacked ninjas, would occasionally go to war.?
For example, a small country would have a civil war in order to fight for the throne.
It was similar to Mai's original world.
As for the Country of Waves, which was a very important country in the original novel, what was the situation here?
Unfortunately, Mai didn't see a country with the name " Country of Waves " in the geographical handbook.
There was only one " Tiger Country ", and under the territory of this Tiger Country, there was a " Wave Island ".
Mai discovered that this country had been annexed by the Tiger Nation ten years ago after checking the history of the world. At that time, not long after the Third War of the Ninja Realm ended, the five great nations were recovering their strength, and some neighboring nations took the opportunity to wage war and annex some of their weaker neighbors.
The Wave Country was naturally affected, so it had long been submerged in the tide of history.
“……”
Mai couldn't help but cover her face after she finished studying the information.
She had almost become 'illiterate' once. This example fully illustrated-
Although Naruto was a hot-blooded anime world, it was also a world with a complete worldview in the real world. It had its own history, geography, politics, and other world cultures.
The Country of Waves? Would such a country still exist in this world?
The results of this investigation also sounded an alarm for Mai.
When Kishimoto was drawing this manga, he was definitely trying to cater to the novice readers. Everything about history, politics, and other cultural aspects were not fully reflected in the manga. The entire manga was a story about discord, memories, memories, friendships, bloodlines, and ethics.
Then, some plots in anime could not be used as reference. They had to follow the pace of the real world.
