Waterfall Country, in front of a large waterfall.
"This is where we agreed to meet. Just wait here quietly," Shushi said as he sat down on a rock nearby.
"Didn't I tell you? The entrance is behind the waterfall! "Kakuzu didn't have the self-consciousness of a prisoner and even impatiently urged him.
"After all, Takigin treat this waterfall as a natural barrier." Garashi shrugged. "In this case, even if I know, I can only treat it as if I don't know."
"How troublesome!" Kakuzu frowned. "With your strength, you don't need to care about the opinions of the weak!"
Garashi shook his head slightly. "I don't care about other people's opinions, but order!"
"Order? That has nothing to do with … "As Kakuzu was speaking, three figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Is this the special envoy of Wood Leaf, Garashi?" The person standing in the middle stepped forward and introduced himself. "I am the leader of Takigin Village, Shibuya. I would like to express my gratitude to Wood Leaf for capturing and returning our village's rebellious ninja!"
Garashi returned the salute. "Shibuya sama is too polite. This is what we should do as allies!"
Then, Shibuya introduced the two people standing next to him.
"On my left is our Takigin's Jonin Shuiyan. Without using the Hero's Water, I may not be as strong as him. On my right is our Takigin's Nanbi Jinchuriki, Canna 'er. He is our Takigin's strongest fighting force."
After all, Kakuzu assassinated the first Naruto under the instructions of the previous Takigin leaders. They were also worried that Wood Leaf would settle old scores with them, so this time, they called out almost all the powerful fighting forces in the village. At least in terms of momentum, they couldn't lose.
Kakuzu looked at them indifferently. "A bunch of idiots!"
Even he didn't feel much threat from this lineup. If Shimizu Garashi had any malicious intentions, it would be easier for him to wipe them out.
This situation was as stupid as three sheep flaunting their might in front of a lion!
The two people who were chatting with Garashi frowned and looked over.
"What do you mean, you bastard?"
"Why are you so arrogant? Do you really see yourself as a senior? "
Kakuzu said calmly, "The comfortable life behind the waterfall really made you out of touch with the ninja world for too long! Do you think the three of you are worthy of making him back down? "
Their expressions changed. "What did you say? Since when did we have such thoughts? "
"Special Envoy Garashi is a distinguished guest of Takigin. We have nothing but respect for him!"
Kakuzu snorted at this, "Oh, you know in your heart whether it is or not!"
"This kind of thing is not for a rebellious ninja like you to comment!" Shigaya scolded angrily, then looked at Garashi with an awkward but polite smile, "Special Envoy Garashi, I've made a fool of myself."
Garashi smiled gently, "Don't worry about it, Shigaya sama. Of course, I know Takigin's goodwill to Wood Leaf. After all, our two villages have formed a deep friendship during the war!"
Shigaya smiled, "Haha, Special Envoy Garashi is right. I've made a fool of myself."
"Special Envoy Garashi, please come with me. The entrance to Takigin Village is behind this waterfall." With that, Shigaya looked at Garashi apologetically, "Special Envoy Garashi, about the entrance to Takigin, please keep it a secret for us when you return."
Before Garashi could say anything, Kakuzu couldn't help but sneer, "Takigin is still as unpresentable as before. They want to fight for the position of the Sixth Ninja Village, but they don't want to give up the comfortable life behind the waterfall!"
The veins on Shigaya's forehead bulged as he heard this, "Shut up! Don't forget your identity as a prisoner!"
Shuiyan also looked at him suspiciously, "The intelligence records mention that Kakuzu is cruel and indifferent. He shouldn't be as talkative as you. Did you catch the wrong person?"
Kakuzu's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't talk much before because those who dared to provoke him were all dead.
But now, did he have any room to resist?
Seeing that Kakuzu finally stopped talking, Shigaya led Garashi to the back of the waterfall.
Behind the waterfall was a pool. The bottom couldn't be seen at a glance, giving a deep and dark feeling.
"This pool is very deep. The bottom is connected to the lake in Takigin Village. We'll reach it by swimming!"
After that, Shigaya took the lead and jumped into the water.
Although the pool was very deep, it wasn't much of a hindrance for the ninjas.
Soon, the five of them emerged from the lake.
Surrounded by green shade and towering ancient trees, there was laughter everywhere. It was indeed a scene of paradise.
"Special Envoy Garashi, welcome to Takigin Village!" After coming ashore, Shigaya was quite proud to formally welcome him.
"This kind of peace is really enviable!" Garashi said with emotion, and then looked at the big tree in the center of the village, "This big tree is …"
This ancient tree was so majestic that its open canopy seemed to hold up the sky, sheltering the entire Takigin Village under the tree.
"Haha, this is …"
Just as Shigaya was thinking about how to explain, Kakuzu suddenly interrupted, "This is the sacred tree of Takigin Village. Every hundred years, sacred water will flow out from it. It is also called the Hero's Water by the people of this village!"
"This bastard …" Seeing that Kakuzu casually revealed the village's secret, Shigaya was annoyed, but he had to say, "Yes, that's right, that's the gift of the sacred tree to Takigin Village!"
'Sacred tree …' Garashi raised his eyebrows and pretended to be curious, "I heard that people who drink the Hero's Water will have their Chakra increased by dozens of times?"
Because a certain "Takigawa" was nearby, Shigaya couldn't hide it. "Yes, the Hero's Water can indeed achieve such an effect!"
Perhaps he was worried that Shisui would covet the Hero's Water, so he quickly added, "However, the increase in Chakra will also greatly shorten the lifespan of the user. It's precisely because people who drink it will fight with their lives on the line like heroes, so it's called the Hero's Water!"
"It's amazing!" Garashi said with emotion, "The Hero's Water, the Nanabi Jinchuriki, and the Secret Technique of Yu-On, with these three powers as support, Takigin's future will be much more stable."
It has to be said that Takigin has the Nanabi Jinchuriki, the Hero's Water, and the Secret Technique of Yu-On. Such strength and heritage is simply unique among the small ninja villages.
In Garashi's view, when Takigin's higher-ups sent Kakuzu to assassinate the first Daimyo Naruto, they might have the intention of declaring their strength and letting Hashirama recognize their strength.
After all, the original five major countries were established through the Five Kage Summit of Senju Hashirama.
This point is just like the five major hooligans in Garashi's previous life. After the world's structure was established, it was not so easy for other hooligans to squeeze in.
The speaker was "unintentional", but the listener was interested.
The only one of the three who didn't master Takigin's secret technique, Shuiyan subconsciously looked at Kakuzu, "It should be my turn to master the Secret Technique of Yu-On, right?"
