The next day, Su and Deidara left the capital of the Land of Water. Their business in the Land of Water was complete, so Su and Deidara planned to leave the country.

At this time, Su had already put on that bizarre mask. His features, which seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, gave people a chilling sensation. Deidara walked beside Su, constantly curling his lip and saying, "Why are you wearing this mask again? Are you going to play that 'Nothingness' role again?"

"Mm, well said. Konoha has already become aware of my existence; some people probably even know my appearance and age. To avoid some trouble, I still need to wear this mask. The time for revenge against Konoha hasn't arrived yet. I haven't fully grasped the power of these new eyes; it will still take some time," Su said faintly.

"Then where are we going now?" Deidara asked doubtfully. "Wandering around the ninja world hasn't been very effective. We need to find a place to settle down and continue to enhance our strength. Iwa's pursuit isn't easy for you either, is it?" Su said with a faint smile.

"Hmph, don't talk about me. Konoha is also hunting you, you know. Aren't you going to do something about it?" Deidara retorted with a grin.

"Of course, I won't let it go so easily. However, with just the two of us, our current strength is not enough to shake Konoha. But the opportunity will come soon," Su said with a cold smile.

"Oh? What opportunity?" Deidara looked at Su doubtfully and asked. Su smiled slightly and said, "Konoha stands out so much in the ninja world, like a tall tree attracting the wind. You should know that it's not just the two of us who are drawing their attention, un."

"Didn't the Fifth Mizukage try to recruit us before? We could join Kirigakure. Why did you refuse back then?" Deidara asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Although we contributed greatly to overthrowing the Fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure is, after all, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. The ninja in the village are quite sensitive to outsiders, especially a village as closed off as Kirigakure. Even if the Fifth Mizukage allowed us to join Kirigakure, the other ninja, while not saying anything on the surface, would still be quite wary of us in their hearts. Especially since you are a rogue ninja from Iwagakure, and I am from Konoha's Uchiha clan, practically half a rogue ninja myself. That's why I refused her. Moreover, if we joined Kirigakure, the two of us wouldn't be able to act freely, and many things would be very inconvenient," Su said faintly.

While talking, the two arrived at a small town in the Land of Water. This town was unremarkable among the many towns in the Land of Water, just an ordinary small town. However, Su remembered that this town had an underground bounty station; the former Su had been here before.

Su led Deidara into the town and found a hidden latrine. The two walked in. Although the smell was terrible, both Su and Deidara had been bounty hunters, so they weren't particularly bothered.

After knocking three times on a hidden spot, a dark passage suddenly cracked open beside them. Behind the passage was a staircase extending downwards. The two of them followed it down.

After a while, Su and Deidara arrived at the underground bounty station. At this time, there were quite a few ronin and samurai in the bounty station. Some were at the counter selecting missions they fancied, while others were sitting at tables drinking and chatting. The entire bounty station was bustling with activity.

Su and Deidara also went to one of the counters and called for a staff member. The staff member immediately brought over a mission list, and Su began to browse through it.

As he browsed the mission list, Su's expression was initially casual, but when he saw one particular bounty mission, his face suddenly changed.

Seemingly sensing Su's change, Deidara turned his head and looked at Su with some doubt. Su was silent for a moment. Because he was wearing a mask, Deidara couldn't see his expression, but he could still sense his unease.

After a while, Su slowly said to Deidara, "Deidara, perhaps I've already found our foothold. That place is the most suitable place for us, un."

When Deidara heard Su's words, he was stunned and said doubtfully, "A suitable place for us? Besides Kirigakure, which major ninja village would genuinely accept us?"

"Of course, there is one. It doesn't necessarily have to be a major ninja village. Besides, the main forces hunting us rogue ninja are those major ninja villages. They definitely wouldn't accept us; they might even have designs on my Sharingan. The place we're going this time is a small country, but it will become our starting point," Su said faintly.

"A small country? Which country? Do they have the guts to accept rogue ninja like us from the Five Great Ninja Villages?" Deidara said disbelievingly.

"Of course. That village can barely protect itself now, so how could they care about the attitude of the Five Great Ninja Villages? What they want now is only one thing, and that is power!!! The power to protect their own country, and we just happen to possess this power!!" Su said with a faint smile.

"Oh!!?" Deidara looked at Su doubtfully and asked, "Which country is it?" Su smiled slightly and said, "The Land of Cherry Blossoms."

"The Land of Cherry Blossoms!! I've heard of this country. It's a fairly prosperous and beautiful country. True to its name, that country's cherry blossoms are quite famous," Deidara said, seemingly recalling something.

"That's right. That country's ninja foundation is very low, so its military strength is very weak. Coupled with the resources and wealth the entire country possesses, it would be strange if it wasn't targeted by other countries. Moreover, this country is rarely involved in wars, so its people are not sensitive to conflicts between outsiders and ninja. This is a suitable place for us to establish ourselves. And I was once hired by the Land of Cherry Blossoms to rescue the princess of the Land of Cherry Blossoms, so I know a few people in the Land of Cherry Blossoms," Su said with a smile.

"Then what kind of mission is it!! I can't wait to display my art, un," Deidara said with interest.

"Due to its rich resources and developed economy, the Land of Cherry Blossoms has been closely watched by the surrounding small countries for a long time. Some time ago, someone among these countries finally couldn't hold back anymore. They colluded with some ambitious and powerful ministers within the Land of Cherry Blossoms and launched a coup, intending to usurp the position of Daimyo, and even hired ninja to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Cherry Blossoms. Now, the Land of Cherry Blossoms is divided into two forces, currently in a standoff! And the one who hired me is the former princess of the Land of Cherry Blossoms, now nominally the Daimyo, Goto Yuri. She's an acquaintance, un," Su said with a faint smile.
