Chapter 107: Land of Waves
Liquor Pool and Meat Forest Tavern...
"Yo, Little Peach Blossom!"
Li Jiexuan greeted her with a cheerful smile, but Little Peach Blossom seemed extremely frightened and trembled slightly. "You… why did you come back?"
"You mean to ask why we weren't killed by Tu ba?"
Hyuga Yizhen clicked his tongue irritably. If these people hadn't sold them out, how could the bandits have come after them in the first place?
"I'm sorry..."
Little Peach Blossom lowered her head in shame, her large, adorable eyes filling with tears. Hyuga Yizhen was about to flare up again, but Li Jiexuan reached out and stopped him.
"This isn't your fault. But if you really feel guilty about it, then help us find two quiet rooms."
Hearing this, Little Peach Blossom immediately broke into a smile through her tears and wiped the corners of her eyes. "Okay. If you don't mind, you can stay at our residence."
Ten minutes later, Little Peach Blossom led them to a huge old estate. The place was a bit worn down, but it had been scrubbed spotlessly clean.
Looking closely, all kinds of women's undergarments were hanging and fluttering in the breeze inside the courtyard. From time to time, beautiful figures scantily clothed swayed behind the windows.
"This place is…?"
Li Jiexuan couldn't help widening his eyes. It seemed he had come to a rather unbelievable place.
"This is where we women live together," Little Peach Blossom said with an awkward smile. "Jiexuan-kun, don't worry. Although we women from the tavern are very noisy while working, once we come back here, we're all very quiet..."
Li Jiexuan nodded in understanding. In the end, those women were just trying to make a living. He wasn't the kind of person who would curse someone the moment he pulled his pants back up.
Little Peach Blossom led him into a room. The pink, girlish décor made it obvious at a glance that this was Little Peach Blossom's own bedroom...
"You can use this room. I'll sleep with the other sisters these next few days." Blushing shyly, Little Peach Blossom backed out of the room. This was the first time she had ever brought a man back to her own place.
Although… this was just a little man.
After Little Peach Blossom left, the smile on Li Jiexuan's face slowly faded. He reached out and took the training scroll out of the system.
Every time he entered a trial, he had to stay completely alert. Although he now had some ability to protect himself, if this scroll sent him straight into the center of the Fourth Great Ninja War...
With his current strength, Six Paths Madara could kill him with a single move!
He slowly unrolled the scroll. Li Jiexuan only had time to glimpse a long bridge before he was sucked into it...
"A bridge?"
Scenes of famous bridge battles from Naruto flashed rapidly through Li Jiexuan's mind: the Heaven and Earth Bridge battle, the life-and-death struggle between the Four-Tails and Orochimaru; the Kannabi Bridge battle, where Obito's death forged the main thread of the entire story.
But when Li Jiexuan landed, he couldn't help curling his lips into a bitter smile. "So it's here, huh?"
The bridge shrouded in mist was only half completed. With just one glance, Li Jiexuan understood exactly which plotline he had been dragged into.
In the very first chapters of Naruto, the sea-spanning bridge in the Land of Waves—the commission from the bridge builder Tazuna. It was also the arc where Zabuza and Haku made their debut.
For some reason, the Ice Release bloodline within his body began to thrum with excitement. Li Jiexuan couldn't help shaking his head with a smile. "What a coincidence, all of this..."
"But where exactly is the story at right now?"
Li Jiexuan looked around but didn't see Kakashi's group arriving by boat. There wasn't a single soul on the reef where he was standing either.
"Seriously, was I exiled here?"
Li Jiexuan shook his head helplessly. This time, the system hadn't placed him near any of the main characters. For the moment, he had no way to determine how the plot was progressing.
Just then, an angry shout suddenly rang out beside his ear: "You there! Why are you hiding here?"
On a small wooden boat, a brash blond thug waved his blade angrily. Being sent out in weather like this was all because of the detestable guy in front of him...
A street punk?
At that thought, Li Jiexuan chuckled and shook his head. "I'm a ninja. I've come to seek refuge with Lord Gato!"
In the Land of Waves, only Gato would have subordinates like this...
