The Hokage Ryos Path
Chapter 149: Sneaking into the Village of Fog

The boat travels by sea for several days before reaching the Water Nation.

The country is far from land and surrounded by the sea. It is mainly formed from several islands.

Due to its location and lack of communication with the outside world, exchanges with other countries rely on maritime trade.

It is also the country's main source of income. Because it is surrounded by waters rich in fish, many traders who exchange the fish for all kinds of goods and other needs.

At any given time, dozens of other ships sailed around Jiraya.

Because too many ships were in and out of the country, the ninja in charge of watching them were not too serious. They usually just glanced at them then let them pass.

The Jiraya ship entered the territory of the Water Nation, and Ryo could see a thick fog hidden on the mainland.

The ship docked at the port, with about fifty to sixty other ships anchored around it. The beach is also very lively.

It is hard to believe that all this happened while the war was going on.

Jiraya leads by example, and she and Ryo pretend to act like rich people, holding their bellies and marching haughtily followed by their assistants, and they get off the ship.

Right after descending, several people with the Fog Forehead Protector surrounded them. Jiraya tells Ryo not to move.

The ninja came and acted very politely, talking to the two casually. Since they thought that they were wealthy merchants, they acted with respect.

After this Ninja left, Jiraya said to Ryo: "Most of the Ninjas patrolling here are Chunin, ordered to treat rich merchants politely."

"Why? Shouldn't the businessmen be careful facing the Ninja as they bring money?” Rio did not understand.

“Stupid, these entrepreneurs are the most important source of income for the country. In other words, they were the ones feeding the ninja. If one of these Chunins offended a businessman with their bad attitude, it could cause great harm to the Water Nation.

Hearing Jiraya's explanation, Ryo realizes that in this country the rich rule the Ninja.

It was the civilians who became ninjas, and the gap between classes continued.

The purpose of this trip was to gather information from the Fog Village, so the Jiraya method was indeed the best and most direct way to sneak in.

However, the Fog Village was heavily guarded. Ryo noticed some sort of boundary around him. If both of them forced their way in, they would definitely be caught.

It was not only Ryo who realized it, Jiraya, as a veteran intelligence collector, clearly knew it. But he doesn't seem worried, wondering around the country with Ryo.

After doing a big round, he seemed to learn a few things. Then he took Ryo to the biggest hotel near the Village of Fog.

Ryo thought about that too. After all, hotels are some of the best places to gather information, as they are filled with a wide variety of people.

However, he did not expect that they would just sit in a room, with Jiraya ordering a table full of food.

"It's too much!" Ryo saw the plate on the table.

"What do you know? Just shut up and eat. It won't be long before someone takes us to Fog Village.” Jiraya told Ryo.

Ryo was a bit confused. But seeing Jiraya confidently, he did not mind anymore, and just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Jiraya has ordered the most expensive dishes on the menu, and the water country, which is rich in seafood, has delicious seafood.

Ryo in his past life came from the north. In this life, he had eaten a lot of seafood in Konoha, but had never tasted such delicious seafood since crossing into this world.

Jiraya let him eat, so he wouldn't be polite.

So many things have been ordered, things are too expensive. The hotel owner was very happy, as there were rarely such good guests.

Of course, the owner himself was not poor, able to open such a large hotel.

This hotel actually has a pretty good reputation in the Land of Waters, because it specifically receives distinguished guests. Nevertheless, such generous guests were still rare.

So, the hotel owner personally went upstairs, planning to greet the "entrepreneur".

“Knock Knock..” Jiraya looked at Ryo who was partying, gestured him to continue, then said: “Please come in!”

Ryo gives her a hateful look, and the owner feels that Ryo is indeed no ordinary person.

“Halo and welcome my guests! I am the owner of this hotel, Yamada Nagakyu.” The owner greeted both.

Jiraya looked back at him and smiled; she said weakly, “Yamanada dono, I am Sanfune.”

“Oh Sanfune san, I don't recognize his name, where are you from?” The owner continued to ask.

"I take care of the Iron Country, and my comrades here are from the Rain Country."

Hearing the names of those countries, Yamada heaved a sigh of relief. Those countries are not at war with him, so they can make a good deal here.

The two continued to talk, about the geographical location of the Iron Country, customs, military politics, etc…

Everything Jiraya said was consistent with what Yamada knew about the Iron Country. So the last one goes for one last question.

“Sanfune san, it is also said that during the 2nd world war, the General of the Iron Country once defeated the legendary Hanzo the Salamander, I do not know if this.”.

"HI!" Jiraya put on an angry face and stood up while saying: “I don't know where you get such rumors from. For a Samorai, pride is more important than life! Mifune was equally defeated by Hanzo, and never claimed otherwise. He just survived! You should not listen to the vile rumors that insult Mifune's reputation equally!”

Thinking that Jiraya was really angry, Yamada quickly said: “Sorry, Sanfune san! That's just the thing I heard, please don't get mad!”

Seeing Jiraya's reaction and behavior, Yamada strongly believes in her identity.

After finally calming down Jiraya who was “marah”, Yamada quickly asked her what she wanted to buy.

Jiraya did not hesitate to say that the purpose of this trip was to buy rare metals used to make Kubikiribocho.

Yamada was dumbfounded, he knew that this was a big customer, but he did not expect that he would become a big customer.

He felt this was an opportunity. He knew the metal used to forge that sword and there was still his reserve in Fog Village. He also knew that they wanted to sell some of them.

Thinking that, Yamada quickly said: “Sanfune san, I know the right place for you. I'm able to give you references to help you make this purchase. But money..”

Jiraya put on a doubtful look, and stared at Yamada for quite a while. Then, he hesitantly took out a few bags and opened the smallest one.

Yamada had seen many gems during his life, and at first glance he was able to recognize that these were extremely valuable.

"After the hunt is over, this will be yours." Jiraya acted a little regretfully.

Hearing that sentence, Yamada became very excited, and immediately promised to insure the success of this trade.
