Because Zabuza was seriously injured, Shinji and his group stayed in the Land of Waves for a few more days.
No one knew what method Rai used, but in the end, he successfully persuaded Zabuza to sign the [Organization Contract Scroll], and then, while receiving treatment, he recorded information about the Hidden Mist Village.
The reason for choosing to attack the Hidden Mist Village was actually the principle of picking the soft persimmon to pinch.
Most of the strong people in the entire ninja world were basically in the five major countries and the Akatsuki organization.
Among them, the Hidden Mist Village, which had suffered a series of blows and coups, was undoubtedly the softest persimmon. A large number of strong people died, fled, the interior was empty, and the outside was chaotic (Cursed Spirits).
It was a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters and swing the hoe!
Otherwise, it would be too late to poach people after Mei Terumi, that woman, had secured her position as Mizukage and stabilized the situation.
As for who to poach, Shinji hadn't actually thought about it yet, and was preparing to make a decision based on Zabuza's information and after conducting an on-the-spot investigation there.
After all, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Didn't he see so many bloodline limits being destroyed, but Kimimaro-like escapees still appeared?
So even if it was just to try his luck, there would be more opportunities than going elsewhere.
Another point was, since the Kubikiribōchō had the potential to be transformed into a Cursed Tool, did the other ninja swords also have this potential?
If there was a chance, getting a few out would definitely not be a loss!
The last reason was that he learned from the information he bought from the underground exchange that the Cursed Spirit chaos in the Land of Water was very serious.
Because of the extreme lack of manpower, the Hidden Mist's response in the early stages of the Cursed Spirit's birth was very stretched, and they were unable to curb the growth of Cursed Spirits from the beginning like the other major countries, which eventually led to the sacrifice of many civilians, thereby worsening the situation.
The worsening situation would lead to national turmoil, thereby generating more and stronger negative emotions, so more Cursed Spirits were born, forming a vicious circle!
Not to mention that some Cursed Spirits became stronger through killing and absorbing these high-quality negative emotional nutrients, and then in turn killed the Hidden Mist's already small number of personnel, making the already bad situation worse.
It could be said that the Hidden Mist Village was about to lose control of the situation.
In desperation, the Hidden Mist chose to ask the other major countries for help.
But the Cursed Spirit chaos was a major crisis that swept the entire ninja world, and countries were somewhat unable to take care of themselves, so where would they care about the life and death of other countries.
It could even be said that some people couldn't wait to see the day when the Land of Water was destroyed!
Anyway, the Land of Water was so far away, and no matter how many Cursed Spirits there were, they couldn't cross the sea and affect them.
For example, the Iwagakure, which had a feud with the Hidden Mist, don't forget how Ōnoki's master, the Second Tsuchikage, died.
Then there was Sunagakure. Kazekage Rasa regarded this Cursed Spirit crisis as the key to Sunagakure's rise. Not kicking them when they were down was already a little bit of conscience, helping? Dream on!
The remaining Cloud and Konoha, which were in the best situation, could barely spare some manpower to help, but why should they?
Taking their own people's lives to help people from other countries fight monsters to the death, were they crazy?
So the Raikage took the opportunity to drive a hard bargain, and put forward a series of unreasonable demands as a reward for sending people to help.
If they agreed to this, the Hidden Mist would be greatly injured even if they survived the current crisis, and they wouldn't be able to recover for decades.
So the Hidden Mist couldn't possibly agree, and directly refused.
Only the remaining Konoha, out of humanitarianism and looking at their status as allies, gave some reinforcements, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
It was said that the Raikage immediately scolded Konoha for being hypocritical and pretending to be kind to outsiders after learning about it.
Having failed to receive reinforcements from the other major countries, the Hidden Mist, which was in trouble, had no choice but to learn from those small countries and spend money to issue tasks and hire people to eliminate Cursed Spirits.
Then an even more embarrassing thing happened.
Very few people were willing to take on tasks to go to the Land of Water.
First, it was too far, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth.
Second, someone would always think, what could they do if even one of the five major countries couldn't solve the problem? Would they be tricked into being cannon fodder?
Third, there were Cursed Spirits causing chaos everywhere now, and you didn't give much more money than others, so why did they have to help you?
As for the strongest mercenary group - Akatsuki, which had helped many small countries solve the Cursed Spirit problem during this time, it was even more impossible for them to go.
They couldn't go no matter how much money they were given!
Now it was good, the Land of Water was completely isolated and helpless.
But as the saying goes, what is poison to one is honey to another.
For others, a place that seemed like hell, Shinji felt like heaven.
He was in dire need of Cursed Soul Points now, and he could go to the Land of Water and brush them to his heart's content!
This way, he wouldn't have any psychological burden when he poached people.
Killing several birds with one stone, achieving multiple goals with one action!
So he had to go to the Land of Water!
.....
Taking the detailed information handwritten by Zabuza, and boarding the passenger ship specially prepared by Mira Peng, Shinji and his group began to sail again.
As for Zabuza and Rai, they were arranged by Shinji to continue to stay in the Land of Waves, so as to prevent some short-sighted guy from stealing their home, or killing the Jashin Cult's financial backer.
Another thing worth mentioning was that Zabuza's mark finally landed on the sole of his left foot.
If the organization members were to prove their identities and introduce themselves to each other in the future, the scene would be too hot to handle.
Just thinking about it was hilarious!
Shinji, Hidan, Tsunade, Obito, Zabuza.
Unknowingly, half of the ten people required by the mission had been completed, and none of them were small characters.
Shinji was already full of confidence in completing this mission.
The journey was smooth.
Except that two people who would die if they didn't talk didn't know who made who anxious in the end, so the two wrestled together again.
Seriously, Hidan could be proud.
This was one of the behind-the-scenes bosses in the original story, who made the five Kage doubt their lives.
But now he was being grabbed by the hair and pressed under him by Hidan for a burst of friction.
Shinji's eyelids jumped, fearing that he might accidentally damage Tobi, who would stare at him with the Mangekyō Sharingan and ask Hidan how he wanted to die.
But fortunately, Obito loved to perform and had a high level of professionalism.
Even while shouting "Yamete" under Hidan's crotch, he didn't play dirty and throw stones.
Of course, when there was no one around, no one could be sure if this guy would take out the Death Note and write Hidan's name all over it.
"Okay, let go of Tobi. We're here."
At this time, Hidan was grabbing Tobi's collar and shaking him violently. Hearing Shinji's words, he let Tobi go.
"If there's a next time, I'll definitely chop you, understand?!"
"Yes~ Yes."
Tobi lay on the deck, answering weakly.
That dead look made Hidan almost couldn't help but kick him a few times.
