Unscientific Scientist From Sunagakure - Chapter 201
The car drove to the border between the Land of Wind and Rivers.
Muzake put away the car.
The Land of Rivers was a simple and backward agricultural society where transportation relied on walking and communication relied on shouting.
There were no good roads, and the numerous rivers made driving less efficient than walking.
The two quickly entered the Land of Rivers.
Unlike the Land of Wind, the Land of Rivers didn’t have strict control.
Ninja comings and goings did not require registration.
After a day’s journey, Muzake and Kakashi walked openly in the capital city of Canada.
Hanadou was a port city surrounded by the Kogetsu River.
The outer half-circle of the city was the wide Kogetsu River, making it very defensible.
Upon entering the city, they first saw a statue of a tall, muscular man.
However, he was naked, striking a dance pose, standing in a cauldron of oil.
The legend of the founding of the Land of Rivers was like this:
It is said that the Kogetsu River was once called the Hundred Beasts River.
An evil dragon named Kaido was leading a hundred beasts and occupying Onigashima in the river.
Kaido often brought disaster to the Land of Rivers, causing floods that destroyed fields and towns.
The people of the Land of Rivers were miserable and struggling to survive.
At this time, a man named Kozuki Oden and his nine companions stood up.
Kozuki Oden knew Kaido loved eating tempura, which was mainly made from humans.
He decided to use his body as bait.
He set up a cauldron of oil by the Hundred Beasts River.
He stripped naked and jumped in, singing and dancing in the oil.
Kaido couldn’t resist the temptation of the strong man.
He rushed into the ambush and was killed by Kozuki Oden’s nine companions.
It was said that the battle was extremely fierce.
Kaido was exhausted to death.
The nine people’s swords turned red from cutting.
Thus, they were named the Red Scabbards.
Kozuki Oden and the Red Scabbards slayed Kaido, ending the flood and earning the love of the people of the Land of Rivers.
Later, the Hundred Beasts River was renamed the Kogetsu River.
The Kozuki family became the daimyo of the Land of Rivers.
The Red Scabbards became the Nine Followers.
Kakashi continued to introduce.
“The ninja village of the Land of Rivers is Fuuma Village. The Fuuma clan likes using large ninja tools, and their hair color is all light green.”
“Their large ninja tools, Fuuma Shuriken and Fuuma Shuriken Hand, are very powerful.”
Muzake needed to be addressed.
Nothing seems enormous compared to my 8,000-meter Zangei Sword.
Muzake: “It’s getting late, let’s find a place to rest. Kakashi, do you know any familiar places?”
Kakashi shook his head.
“I’m not familiar with Hanadou.”
Muzake: “Neither am I.”
Though both claimed unfamiliarity, they walked in the same direction.
Muzake: “Kakashi, where are you going?”
Kakashi: “I don’t know, I’m just walking, wherever I end up.”
Muzake nodded: “Me too, just following my intuition.”
As they walked.
They coincidentally arrived at the most famous entertainment district in Hanadou.
“Oh no, how did we end up here?”
Muzake slapped his thigh.
“Oh dear, it’s not appropriate for the Kazekage to frequent such places.”
Kakashi
?_?
You say it’s inappropriate, but you haven’t moved an inch.
Kakashi was quite diplomatic.
“Sir, it’s late, and we could easily get lost. We might encounter bandits or robbers.”
“We should reluctantly rest here for the night.”
Muzake waved his hand.
“Ah, it’s not good for our reputation.”
Trap Card: Must Not.
Activated.
Kakashi activated the forbidden card “Since We’re Here,” countering the “Must Not” card.
“Sir, since we’re here.”
“Let’s just consider it a cultural experience.”
“Besides, no one knows us.”
Muzake mentally gave Kakashi a thumbs up.
“Alright.”
“Let’s say I sacrifice myself for art.”
“Let’s go.”
“Tonight’s expenses are on me.”
Kakashi immediately liked this.
“Sir, you’re generous.”
The two entered the entertainment district together.
?(??)?(??)?
Servants came to serve them.
As one of the Five Kage, Muzake had high standards.
“Bring your highest-ranking courtesans and entertainers.”
The servant looked doubtful.
“Sir, each establishment only has one highest-ranking courtesan.”
Ah!
Is that so?
Despite my extensive research, I still needed to ensure I understood this point.
There’s always more to learn.
“Then bring four or five courtesans and one top entertainer.”
Muzake spoke generously.
The servant looked at Muzake with suspicion.
Damn.
Muzake casually flipped a gold coin to him.
“Tip.”
Muzake instantly became his most esteemed guest.
“Sir, please come in.”
“I’ll arrange it immediately.”
Muzake and Kakashi sat in a tatami room.
The servant brought fine wine and dishes.
“Sir, please enjoy the wine. The courtesans will arrive shortly.”
Muzake and Kakashi drank.
Muzake secretly watched how Kakashi drank.
But Kakashi blocked his view.
Forget it.
Revealing secrets ruins the mystery.
What if he has a snaggletooth?
That would be creepy.
Pluck, pluck, pluck.
The shamisen sounded.
Entertainer Kozuki played the shamisen.
Luxurious hairdo.
Gorgeous kimono.
Unparalleled beauty.
Elegant demeanor.
Muzake nodded.
Money well spent.
The illustrations based on this will sell like hotcakes!
