The Land of Rice Paddies was a small country on the borders of Hi no Kuni, a rural, backwater nation with no real military power to speak of. As its name suggested, the country's chief asset was its rice paddies. Close to two thirds of the settled land in this nation was dedicated to farming, the watery fields of rice stretching as far as the eye could see.

Scattered farming settlements and small one horse towns comprised the vast bulk of this country's population, by far most of the people being either farmers or farmhands, or merchants who bought and sold the rice. Even the daimyo was little more than a lord of peasants, living in a glorified barn guarded by the untrained and ill-equipped daughters of farmers.

The Land of Rice Paddies had only two real assets: rice, and land. The numerous farms produced fair quantities of grain, yet even at the best of times for most it was just a little more than was needed to get by. Share-cropping and subsistence farming were the main trades practiced in this country, and while it was a poor country its people took pride in the fruits of their labor. Most people said that there really was no rice like rice from the Land of Rice Paddies.

Try saying that five times fast.

But aside from that, the open country and vast fields of this nation provided plenty of room to hide a ninja village. It was countless acres of rural countryside where your nearest neighbor was well over an hour's walk away, and the backwater village folk were none too friendly with most outsiders. The close knit communities made for tight lipped villagers, and the women of this nation were not ones to spill their secrets easily.

It was after a day and a half of travel that Naruto and the others reached a village on the country outskirts.

If you could really call a drugstore, three homesteads, and one dirt road a village.

Naruto looked around as they walked down the road. There were almost no people here, from what he could sense. And those who were present were obviously hiding themselves away in their homes.

The blond whistled.

"Man, this really is the boondocks, innit Pervy Babe?" he remarked to his buxom, white-haired mentor.

The infamously lustful Toad Sage laughed, throwing her hoar-locked head back. Her ample bosom bounced with the spasms of her diaphragm, a faintly obscene level of cleavage bared by her open kimono.

"Mm, it is, it is!" she said cheerfully. "But these boondocks'll be our key to finding Occhin, I think."

"You really think we can get the people to talk?" wondered Asuka aloud, eyeing Miraiya skeptically. "Country folk aren't always that fond of us ninja, you know."

"Miraiya-sama has many contacts, though," said Mikoto, smiling demurely. "And Naruto-kun is a most charming individual. If anybody can find out where the Sound Village is, it would be them. Right?"

Miraiya nodded.

"Indeed," she said. "There's not a woman alive with the willpower to resist this tag team. Between the brat and me, we've got enough injutsu power to topple a whole nation."

"We shouldn't need to resort to anything like that, though~" said Mikoto.

"I hope not!" Naruto said, scratching the back of his neck and laughing. "If we can find out what we need, we'll just be on our way."
