'there is a bag full of money, then there is a fine katana though a bit rusty, two sets of black kimono, a bag of grains and finally basic swordsmanship technique that I learned.'zetsu that as he and yang walked through a dirt path across the jungle head for land of waterfall boarder.
"I'd say a good harvest."
Said zetsu, happy with the loot that he had got from the bandits.
''Well...I guess the sword needs some repairs and maintenance. But I can make do with it for now. But the most important right now is to collect Information about what point in time of the warring states era Mr. M reincarnated me."
'I hope it's not too much in the past or all my meta knowledge will go down the drain'
thought zetsu.
walking through the night and next day zetsu and yang felt a bit tired."Even thought we have far surpassed the limit of humans from our previous eart it still takes a toll on the body when career stuff and moving for so long" said yang stretching his shoulders as he carried the sack of grains.
"hmm... maybe we should stop by in the village Just off the path ahead to rest a bit. according to the map it should be rice village where roku lived" said zetsu.
Although he felt a bit strange at first talking to himself, but thanks to having 2 brains simultaneously processing information differently. zetsu got used to it. As for roku he was the bandit whom zetsu had transformed into who informed him about the shinkage clan.
After an hour of walking they arrived at the gate of the rice village."let's head to my hut to see if it's still there. we can stay there to save money for now"said zetsu taking the identity of roku.
As they walked through the somewhat downtrodden village roku saw a half bauld man running towards him with a shovel in his hand shouting"Roku you theaving brat i have got you now."
see a man running towards him zetsu hardened. 'How did I get discovered so soon?' thought zetsu as he looked at yang to see if there was a flaw in his disguise.
In the mean time the half bauld man caught up to them."Roku!!! where did you run off to you thieving brat. Give me back my money or I'll break your legs and drag you to the lord's house." said the half bauld man fuming.
Hearing what the man shouted zetsu looked carefully at his face the sighed in relief. at least the disguise was not blown. it was just that danm Roku who took 50 ryu from the village Clerk and ran away with it.
"Stop shouting. you old man, I didn't run away with your money. "said Roku as he took 100 ryu from yang and said "here take your money there is 100 ryu this should be enough for you right. Now don't cause trouble for me."
Counting the money the man looked at Roku and asked suspiciously "where did you get so much money??? did you rob someone?".
Hearing the bauld man's question Roku covered his face with one hand in irritation at this nosy old man.
"This isn't my money. I took it from my master yang. he is a wandering samurai. Now stop causing trouble for my master."said Roku as he gestured towards yang.
Hearing this the man glanced at the huge rugged figure of yang carrying a katana and a big sack over his shoulder. the man shrank a little before changing his tone"oh respected guest, please be at home in our Village. if you are interested please visit the village blacksmith to sharpen your sword respected sir."
Roku's face darkened at the shameless behaviour of the man. Shrugged off the clerk yang and Roku came to the hut that belonged to real Roku after his parents passed away.
putting his sack down Roku grumbled about his bad luck and unfairness of the world. while preparing for dinner.
In the meantime, Yang moved through the village heading to the black shith shop to fix his rust katana as well as gather intelligence about the village.
After some haggling with the black shith and some snooping around he figured out that this village was governed by a low level feudal lord also called Shoya. in the past to this lord donated alot of money to shinkage clan, a samurai clan in land of iron so that his son could become a great samurai of shinkage clan and master quick draw style said to decapitate the enemy if they blink. Due to this the lord raised the tax leading to the dire situation of the village resulting in many youth like Roku to flee to look for opportunity outside.
As darkness bleed into the sky. yang returned to the hut after gathering intel as well as secretly snooping around the lord's manner. During dinner Roku and yang discussed on how to proceed from here on.
"The lord of this village has put all his chips on his eldest son who has decent talent for chakra manipulation. He even married a kunoichi to produce excellent offspring. we could perhaps look into the lords house. maybe we can get some unexpected gains."said yang as they ate bland rice stew from the grains they had brought.
"hmm...let's rest for now. we'll go take a look at night."said Roku. As he pondered the next destination on the map.
