Xue Hui picked up these humanoid puppets and looked at them carefully, with the frost armor, he was not afraid of toxins contaminating his skin, and with Xuan Weng, even if others were poisoned, they would not have much of a problem.

However, there are no traces of poison on these puppets.

What surprised Xue Hui even more was that without anyone manipulating the outside world through the chakra line, these puppets could still vibrate slightly on their own after being damaged by the blow.

"Have you found anyone to control these puppets?"

Xue Hui asked.

"No, according to the estimates of the subordinates, it should be among these people who are being dealt with."

The Uchiha's Vortex Shinobi replied.

Xue Hui thought for a moment and instructed Shikanosuke behind him:

"Kanosuke, send some people to disperse, no, let's explore the territory of the country of waves in the form of a team, and tell them to be careful of these puppet attacks."

"Yes!"

Shikanosuke nodded in response.

"It looks like no one wants to approach us now!"

Xue Hui looked at the dock where there was no one else, shook his head and said.

Fortunately, Xue Hui had noticed before, in addition to the civilians who ran directly back to their house in Wave Harbor, there were also a considerable number of village names who fled along the only avenue, and Xue Hui remembered it very clearly because there were many people.

After kindly letting a few kind-looking whirlpool ninjas take charge of the aftermath of the wave port, Xue Hui took Gen Weng and the other whirlpool shinobi along the dirt road.

This road did not exist in Xue Hui's memory, so Xue Hui was also curious about what the situation was at the end of the road.

"It should be a big village? After all these years, the population of the country of waves should also increase. ”

Xue Hui walked on the uneven road, thinking.

It didn't take long for Xue Hui to see the village he had envisioned.

The scale is indeed not small, to be precise, on par with Kutch's carefully expanded Port of Waves.

"Looks like the people who live here should be the main population of the country of waves."

Xue Hui estimated.

"Huh?"

Xue Hui approached the village, but was surprised to find that outside the village gate, there were still more than a dozen villagers waiting, apparently trying to resist Xue Hui. Inside the gate, it was crowded with other anxious villagers.

"Interesting."

Xue Hui said with a smile, the speed under his feet did not slow down, and he walked towards these 'resistant' people.

However, when Xue Hui came to a place not far from them, he found that there were only two real people, and the others were humanoid puppets, but they were more exquisite than the ones they had seen in the port before, and compared to these puppets in front of them, those in the port seemed to be inferior products.

But Xue Hui's attention at this time was not on these puppets, but at the ninja in the lead, who still had Konoha forehead guards on his forehead, but he had scratched a striking notch.

This is a sign of rebellion.

But Xue Hui didn't care about that, because he recognized the person on the other side as his old friend.

"Kosuke, I haven't seen you for many years, and that's how you greeted me?"

Xue Hui smiled and teased at Kosuke who was holding a ninja sword on the other side.

Kosuke was stunned for a moment, listened to the familiar voice, and carefully looked at Xue Hui's unfamiliar appearance, and then he saw the forehead guard that Xue Hui was wearing behind him, and asked uncertainly:

"Lord Xuehui?"

"Well, it's me, Kosuke, I didn't expect to see you here, looking at your forehead, it seems that a lot of things have happened!"

Xue Hui stepped forward, opened his hands and hugged the somewhat confused Gusuke, and then pointed to the other party's forehead guard and said.

"Lord Xuehui! It's really you! ”

Gu Jie suddenly burst into tears, his weather-beaten face was full of surprise, and he said to Xue Hui intermittently:

"I'm not ready to wait for you! But let me wait, Lord Xuehui, this is more than ten years. ”

"Finally, I've finally succeeded in completing a guard!"

Kosuke looked up to the sky and roared.

"You are the legendary vortex shadow that grandpa said, Vortex Snow Radiance?"

Just as Xue Hui was greeting Gu Jie, the only young man standing outside the gate with Gu Jie looked at Xue Hui and asked.

"I am Xuehui, the vortex shadow of the country of vortexes, like a fake."

Xue Hui didn't care about the young man's rudeness, but appreciated his directness, and walked over and replied with a smile.

Then, Xue Hui saw that the young man immediately ran back to the village, and after a while, he walked out with an old man.

The old man sat on a stool carried by two puppets, and the young man followed him to Xuehui.

"Grandpa, he said he was the Vortex Shadow Vortex Snow Radiance."

The boy pointed to Xue Hui and said to his grandfather.

"Don't be rude, Kotaro!"

The old man seemed to be in the last days of his life, not only did his legs and feet lose their effectiveness, but he even had to pant when he spoke.

I saw that he barely opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Xue Hui, and Xue Hui also quietly let him observe.

After a long time, the old man slowly spoke:

"You are indeed the Vortex Shadow Lord back then, although your appearance has changed a lot, maybe it is because of old decay and my old eyes are dizzy and I can't see clearly, but I can feel the same feeling from you."

"You've seen me before?"

Xue Hui himself doesn't have this impression anymore.

"The old man is the head of this village, and he was once fortunate enough to go to the country of the vortex to attend the meeting of the Vortex Shadow-sama, but the Vortex Shadow-sama may not have noticed me."

The old man said with a smile.

"Let's go in first, Uzakikage-sama, Kosuke-sama, Kotaro, let's go to the village."

The old man beckoned, and his grandson, Kotaro, hurriedly manipulated the puppet to lift his grandfather.

Xue Hui noticed that this kid called Kotaro could use the puppet technique of the sand ninja, and he skillfully used the chakra line to give orders to the puppet, but unlike the puppeteer of the Land of the Wind, he didn't need to manipulate it all the time, as if he just used the chakra line to turn on the switch.

Entering the village, the old village chief first introduced Xuehui's identity to the villagers, and all the villagers of some age wept bitterly.

Xue Hui learned from his words that after the closure of the Vortex Country, Kuchi set up the Port of Waves as a new base, and made friendly negotiations with the people of the Land of Waves, expanding the port while trying to ensure the livelihood of the villagers.

Under Kuchi's desperate efforts, the caravan of the Vortex Country changed its flag and grew cautiously in the cracks of the sea trade routes.

At the same time, the country of waves still trades with the outside world through Kutch's caravan, farming the land, and shipbuilding, although compared with the past, without the support of the country of the vortex, life is more difficult, but everyone has no complaints except for the life when they miss the country of the vortex.

Until Kutch died, and Cardo came to power as a result of the caravan, everything changed.
