In the bustling marketplace, pedestrians hurried by. The cries of hawkers on both sides of the street were incessant, and a dazzling array of seafood snacks made people's eyes blur. Although the atmosphere throughout the Land of Water was very oppressive, especially at this tense moment, people still had to live. Rice, firewood, oil, and salt were indispensable, so places that should be lively were still lively.
At this time, two people were standing in front of a fish stall. One of them was a handsome little boy of about eight or nine years old, with black hair and black eyes, and black bangs that faintly blocked his right eye. He was wearing a black kimono and was communicating something with the fish shop owner.

Beside him stood a beautiful girl, a snow-white winter coat tightly fitting her petite body, making her look exceptionally cute.
"Okay, let's settle it like this then. Remember to prioritize coming to my place next time, little friend," the owner said with a kind smile, then placed a string of coins in the boy's hand.
"Thank you," Misu said with a smile, then put the money in his arms, and turned to look at the girl who was glaring at him, smiling as he said, "Haku, let's go!"

"Yeah," the girl smiled, looking at the boy tenderly. The two slowly left the fish shop and walked towards the front of the marketplace. The two were none other than Haku and Misu. Two years had passed since the last time Haku's kekkei genkai was discovered.
After that, it seemed that Haku's mother, Aunt Junko, had also taught Haku some things. Therefore, even though her kekkei genkai was slowly awakening, and she didn't seem to be able to fully control it, it hadn't been discovered by anyone.
However, although Misu, who was walking with Haku now, had a smile on his face, his heart was somewhat heavy. Because at that time, he had already remembered some things, namely Haku's identity. A water-related kekkei genkai, the Land of Water, a snowy village... connecting these things, he instantly remembered the boy who appeared at the beginning of the story in the anime as a subordinate of Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist, who could use the Ice Release kekkei genkai, whose name was also Haku.

If he wasn't mistaken, Haku's kekkei genkai would still be discovered, and her father would kill her mother. Finally, he would lead a group of villagers to kill Haku. Fortunately, Haku's kekkei genkai erupted and killed her father, including all the villagers who surrounded her. In the end, she was taken in by Zabuza and used as a tool.
Although Haku's mother seemed to know some methods to control the kekkei genkai, Haku had not received systematic instruction on it. As the degree of kekkei genkai awakening increased, the requirements for control also increased. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Haku to control, and it would ultimately be exposed.
The last thing was Misu's father. In the past two years, his father's health had been getting worse and worse. Although he said he was fine, the worsening condition could be seen from his increasingly pale face and the frequent coughing up of blood.

According to him, he had fled with his pregnant mother for nearly a year. During this year, he constantly resisted Konoha's pursuers and repelled all of them. However, he was also seriously injured, and the injuries were left behind at that time. Moreover, his father didn't know medical ninjutsu, which led to the deterioration of his injuries, and his body was now getting worse and worse.
"Konoha!!!" Misu slowly clenched his fists, a flash of hatred flitted across his eyes.
Misu had come out today to purchase some rice. He «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» exchanged some of the fish and animal furs he had caught in the river for money, and then went to buy rice. For so many years, his family had relied on this to make a living. Because his father was a missing-nin and his body was not well, it was inconvenient for him to go out, so Misu naturally took on these things.

Walking to a shop on the east side of the marketplace, he used the money he had exchanged to buy a bag of rice, held it in his hand, and walked out of the shop with Haku, preparing to return to the village.
However, at this moment, the street suddenly became noisy. Many pedestrians in the marketplace seemed to suddenly discover something terrifying and hurriedly avoided it, standing carefully on both sides of the street and constantly whispering.
Seeing this, Misu hurriedly grabbed Haku's hand and stood on the side of the street along with the crowd. He didn't want to get into any trouble right now. He saw a group of people slowly walking over from the distance of the street. Seeing this group of people, Misu's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

This group of people did have a reason for ordinary people to avoid them, because they all wore ninja headbands on their foreheads, with images resembling four raindrops, which were the symbols of ninjas from the Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village). The Kirigakure ninjas were also famous for being cold-blooded and ruthless, no wonder ordinary people were so afraid.
At the head of the group was a middle-aged man with a katana on his back, gray short hair, and cold eyes like a man-eating beast. An intimidating murderous aura emanated from his entire body involuntarily. The group of people behind him also had cold faces, giving people a strong sense of bleakness and killing intent.
As the group walked by, the civilians on both sides of the street were immediately frightened and took several steps back, looking at the group with fear.
Haku, who was behind Misu, was now hiding behind Misu, trembling as she grabbed Misu's back. Gently patting Haku's hand, Misu smiled and patted Haku's hand, saying, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

Hearing Misu's words, Haku's trembling body gradually calmed down. At this time, the group of Kirigakure ninjas had walked to the center of the street where Misu and Haku were, and seemed to be talking about something.
Misu's right foot took a slight step forward, completely blocking Haku behind him, and the expression on his face was also a look of fear. Seeing Misu's appearance, several ninjas couldn't help but smile contemptuously, the meaning of ridicule on their faces was self-evident. Then they ignored him and turned their heads to continue talking.
As the group walked away, everyone on the entire street slowly exhaled a breath. Many people wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and slowly various voices of conversation rose and fell.

At this time, Misu's face no longer had any fearful appearance. His eyes were as calm as water. Before, it was completely done for the group to see. If an eight- or nine-year-old kid was expressionless in the face of their group of murderous ninjas, that would be suspicious.
Looking at the disappearing backs of the group, a trace of contemplation appeared on Misu's face. Although they were a bit far away, Misu clearly heard a word when they passed by Misu's front, "defector!"
