Max listens to the conversation of the ninjas, obtaining three important pieces of information. The first is that they were looking for Max, but the Kumogakure ninjas did not know what they were looking for, since there was no trace of him.

Continuation...
[January 18, 1 A.N.N]
I continued running, through the Otogakure territory, a day had already passed, since I had rescued the group of civilians, and I thought "I don't know what decision they made, but I don't care, I already did too much to help."
"I'm not a hero, to save people, just to be recognized ..." I thought, and continued "That's for idiots ... I'll only save whoever I want ... I don't care about the rest."
At this moment, I stopped thinking, since I was close to leaving Otogakure's territory, I started to slow down, and looked around the whole place.
When I looked around the place, I could feel many presences of civilians. The civilians were in several small groups, and they were heading in one direction.
When I looked at the civilians, many of them were injured, but when I looked at their faces, they had an expression of relief, and joy, as they were close to the safe place.
In these groups of civilians, some children were alone, without their parents, and they continued walking, at a slow pace, because their bodies were weak, they had not eaten, and their condition was due to malnutrition.
"A cruel, dark world ... this part of the story was never seen in the original story ... Sigh ... the consequences of the war ..." I thought, as I watched the children, but I didn't think to help.
In the town of Getsugakure Territory, the safe place was in the hot springs, better known as Rouran City. All the territory of the Hot Springs belonged to the Rouran Empire.
"Now I'm still a bit surprised, by that information," I thought, that's why I was in the direction of the hot springs.
After a while, when I had reached the border of Otogakure, and the Hot Springs, I stopped and began to observe.
On the border, the two territories were divided by a small water channel seven meters wide; and in the territory of the Hot Springs, at a distance of five hundred meters, it had a great wall that prevented the entrance to its lands.
In the Otogakure territory, it was full of people, and they were queuing, because they had to cross a bridge to enter, the Hot Springs territory.
When I looked at the faces of civilians, they reflected joy and relief; and they remained calm, without disturbing the order.
On the bridge, the people who supervise, were in a uniform that looked like policemen, and military; I was surprised since it was very rare to see this, and I thought "In the original story, this had not been seen ... or, yes? ... Strange!".
In the territory of the Hot Springs, in the five hundred meters, he had checkpoints, and many people were supervising.
In addition, many young adults, who were in doctor's uniform, are directing the wounded to a place to care for them with the help of some supervisors.
When I looked at the wall, I felt danger, and I was watching carefully, at this moment I observed something strange, when an insect entered, above the wall, the insect was disintegrated.
When I was concentrating on watching, at this moment I could hear a loud voice speaking to all the people, and I looked in their direction.
"Everyone, please remain calm, follow the instructions ... First, everyone, if you are injured, or need medical attention, go to the right side ..." - The leader of this area ...
"Second, healthy people, go to the left side ... Each side will have more instructions, please follow the instructions." - The leader of this area, spoke with a thick voice.
When I heard the instructions, I ignored him, since I did not think to enter legally, and I thought "I can not be seen by anyone, I do not know what exists in this place, since it is strange ... I have a bad feeling about this wall.".
In all this time, I was using the chakra cloak, and the concealment technique, I had also hidden any trace of me.
When I looked at the people, they began to obey, without disturbing the order, and I saw the one who had yelled again.
After a moment, I was surprised, as his Chakra level was only at the Chunin level, but his strength was almost at the Middle Jounin level.
"Well, he can't detect me, but I still have to be careful." I thought, as I approached the bridge, and began to cross it with caution, I did not know what could happen.
After a moment, I managed to cross the bridge, without anyone noticing, and now I was in the territory of the Hot Springs.
When I thought about where to go, I first wanted to find out if doctors are bad people, since I don't know what they will do with people.
When I was on the right side, I could see that the doctors started checking all the patients.
After they were checked, two places sent them, one was the medical care room when they were serious; and the second, the changing rooms, they were sent to clean themselves, and they gave him new clothes, the old clothes, they burned him.
"They're burning the old clothes as a precaution, interesting." I thought, as I kept moving forward, and investigating.
When I was near the changing rooms, I looked around the place, and I had two, one for men, the other for women.
When I looked at the group of women, among them there was a very different one since they remained hidden, the women were covered with dirt, and mud on their faces, and they managed to hide their beauties.
"They are more intelligent than I had thought, if they did not hide it, they could bring misfortune in their lives. Besides, they did not want to go to the left side ... I came to this place because there were fewer people ..." I thought, as I looked at the group of women who were there. for entering the locker room.
When I saw that they were heading into the women's locker room, and I waited a moment, while I reflected, and I thought "I'm a decent man ..... I'll just watch for a bit."
When I entered the women's locker room to see that group of women, and I thought "I was right, they are really beautiful, they had well-hidden their beauties ... this world has many beautiful women ....."
"Sigh... However, I still don't see that little glow that makes them different from the rest of the women ... I could only see so far, in Rin, Kurenai, and Yugao ... I'd better go." I thought as I walked away.
When I came out of the locker room, I went to the medical care room, and I thought "I hope that this Rouran Empire, they don't do experiments on people ... like Orochimaru ... who like experiments."
When I entered, inside I could see that all the people were being treated, and many people were due to malnutrition and injuries.
"I hoped the left side is better." I thought as I left the right side, since I found out everything about this place of control.
When I turned to the left side, it was packed with people, and everyone was waiting their turn. The first step was that they went into an interrogation room, and it took a long time for them to come out, and when they came out, they were sent to the locker room.
When everything was finished, they gave them an identity card, and with the card, they allowed him to pass through the wall, the wall had no end in its distance.
When I came out on the left side and was in the center, I could recognize a pattern on the patrol car. In every 10 minutes, a new group appeared, and they always came off five people.
This group came running, through the water channel, and they checked the area, they were at a High Jounin strength level, and they had special uniforms, you could see the range better.
After they left, five minutes would pass, and a group of three would come to take the most seriously wounded, and they were simple civilians.
"There is no medical ninja, maybe they are somewhere else ... They have a sequence for surveillance, and help." I thought as I watched as they retired.
I remained hidden until now no one could detect me, I continued to check the area, I had not yet crossed the Wall, since they kept it well guarded.
I stayed for a while observing the entire area, and I looked at the people, they were shedding tears of happiness, many of them were children, this happened when they gave him their passes to enter the wall,
"It takes sadness to appreciate happiness, noise to appreciate silence, absence to appreciate presence, and ... War to appreciate peace ... What irony, no?" I thought while looking at the people.
I continued observing the behavior of the people, many of these people had lost many friends, families, and companions to get to this place, and I thought "The sacrifice to get to this place was very great ..."
"War is sweet for those who have never fought!" I thought as I reflected.
I got to thinking, about everything I had seen, up until now, and it tasted good, and I thought "At this time, the war is only beginning."
"The real war, its greatest climax, will be in the middle of the year, where all the villages will fight to the death… where there will be more casualties…. I sighed sadly, I couldn't do anything, since it was none of my business." I thought while trying to remember the timelines.
At this moment, I had remembered a phrase that my uncle told me about my past life, since he had participated in a war:
"I hate war, since only a soldier who has lived it, is the only one who has seen its brutality, its uselessness, its stupidity !!"
After remembering these words, now I was only able to understand them.
I was a bit melancholy, seeing people in this state, just for having managed to reach these lands.
"I was only going to protect Rin, Kurenai, and Yugao…. I had left life insurance for the three of them, if something happened, that insurance will protect them." I thought while pondering.
"I have to get stronger every day," I thought, I was determined to keep growing at every moment, I had a strong resolution.
At this moment, I looked at the wall, I was determined to cross the wall, since I had to reach the Rouran city, and look for the Dragon's vein.
The wall was very strange, since it eliminated anyone who enters over it, and the only safe way is through the door, but it had to cross with people, and it was well guarded.
At this time, I started to approach the Wall, and look at the wall, and the gate, after carefully thinking "Fuck it, I'm going to use the Kamui to become intangible."
When I had activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the Kamui ability, I placed a hand on the wall, and I did not feel anything strange, and I looked around, I had not activated any alerts, and I thought "It is safe".
When I was on the wall, and I went through it like air, I was always surprised by this, and I crossed the wall safely.
"What would have happened ... if he deactivated the Kamui when I'm crossing? ... I'll never know, since I'm not an idiot to try something risky." I thought while looking at the lands of the Hot Springs.
In this place, I had two feelings, the first one could feel the tranquility, it is as if I felt at peace.
The second, I felt a great danger, my instincts told me not to lower my guard, because I would run the risk of death, that is why I was on guard, and I had not deactivated my abilities.
To be continued….
