Chapter 180: Pragmatism, Bonding and Purpose
___________ POV Narration ___________
It was a sunny day in the Land of Keyes, Yamada Tomichi, the kage of the hidden village within that land couldn't help but take a sip of tea as he enjoyed the view from his window.
Their hidden village was a coastal one, being right near a beach, hidden among sand, rocks and foliage.
But despite its natural camouflage, it was still a rather great tourist attraction for many.
Some called it the 'Pearl of the West', a nation so beautiful nestled in between the below-average lands of the Rock and the Wind.
Yamada was immensely proud of his village, especially since he was the son of its founder.
The Land of Keyes formed a bit later than most, as things were still quite messy after the Warring States period for them.
It was hard for their land to consolidate enough power to protect itself from the giants surrounding it.
Thankfully, they were able to avoid being invaded many times due to their being able to foster good relations with most of their neighbours.
