"Find a quiet place to hide. The Land of Rain might not be so peaceful in the coming days." Leaving behind some food, Xin, Minato, and Nawaki decisively set off.
They still had their mission to complete, and Xin wasn't like Jiraiya, who would risk punishment to stay behind and teach Nagato and the others.
Nor did Xin share Jiraiya's lofty ideals.
Besides, Jiraiya's desire to stay was largely driven by his weariness of war.
In the end, he accidentally discovered that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, which solidified his decision to stay.
So he took care of Nagato and the others for three years, fully believing Nagato would become the savior of the world.
But the "savior" he trained ended up killing him.
Konan and the others watched Xin leave with reluctance. His departure meant they would no longer have a source of food or protection.
They would have to continue wandering on their own.
At least they had learned how to refine chakra, and Xin had given them his training notes, along with some basic ninjutsu techniques.
"I wonder if those three will make it to the end of the war. Xin, are you really okay with leaving them behind?"
"That girl Konan seems to rely on you a lot," Minato remarked.
"Then why don't you stay and take care of them?" Xin retorted.
As for why Konan seemed to rely on him, Xin himself couldn't figure it out.
She was clearly very shy at first, but after spending just a few hours together, everything changed!
Could it be because I'm just too handsome, even little girls can't resist me? Xin thought. "Let's keep moving. We still have our mission to complete," Nawaki quickly changed the subject.
He could barely take care of himself, let alone three more burdens; it just wasn't realistic.
"It looks like we came here for nothing. The Sand Village has already abandoned this camp." When they arrived at their destination, Xin learned from Ophis that the camp had already been deserted.
There were only some miscellaneous items left behind-no supplies, and no Sand Village ninja.
It seemed they had relocated not long ago.
"What now?" Nawaki and Minato asked, frowning at the empty camp.
"Let's head back. This is the Intelligence Department's problem, not ours. Maybe the Sand Village decided to abandon the camp at the last minute, or maybe they got suspicious and moved out."
"Whatever the case, it's not our responsibility to clean up the mess."
It's not uncommon for missions to fail due to changes in intelligence, especially on the battlefield where information changes rapidly.
Someone could have been here yesterday, but after receiving orders, they immediately moved to a new location.
Since the mission couldn't be completed, the three of them decided not to linger and began making their way back to camp.
However, they hadn't gone far before they ran into a large force of Amegakure ninja.
