Konoha from the Heart

Chapter 383 The Water of Heroes
The country of Taki is located in the northwest of the country of fire, and its area is not large.

There is a village in the middle of the country of Taki, which is located behind the waterfall, which is now Taki Ninja Village.

The village was built under an unknown huge tree.

Compared to Konoha, it seems more reasonable to call this village Konoha.

How big is that tree, let's put it this way, the diameter of the trunk alone exceeds [-] meters, and the area covered by the crown of the tree exceeds a kilometer in radius.

The roots of the big trees penetrate deep into the emerald water of the lake.

The houses in Takinobu Village are built on huge root systems exposed to the water.

Unlike Konoha's prosperous population, even now, the population of Taki Ninja Village is only a few hundred, and the number of ninjas is only a few dozen.

In those days, the population of the village was even smaller.

When Hashirama came to Takinobu Village, there were only more than 20 ninjas in the village, and only three of them reached Jōnin. Of course, there was no concept of Jōnin during the Warring States period.

But it was these three people who almost killed him.

Originally, the three of them were not opponents of Zhujian, but when Zhujian came to grab the hero's water, he was naturally embarrassed to kill them all, so he didn't use all his strength in the battle.

But in the face of a strong enemy, two of the three ninjas directly drank the water of heroes, and their chakra increased sharply. Hashirama was careless for a while, was seriously injured, fell into the lake, and then drilled into the bottom of the lake with the earth escape In the silt of the dead, he escaped the pursuit.

He was seriously injured at that time, and after barely using the earth escape, he lost his strength.

Fortunately, under the silt at the bottom of the lake, the root system is well-developed, and a tree hole was found by Zhujian. Because of the air pressure, the water level inside is not high, and there is a place of two or three square meters for him to cultivate.

This training took five days.

During these five days, Zhujian ate dry food when he was hungry, and drank the lake water directly below when he was thirsty. The dry food was finished on the third day. Fortunately, fish occasionally swam by in the lake, and some animals collected it in the tree hole. Although there were not many dried fruits, Hashirama was not too hungry.

On the sixth day, the injuries gradually recovered to the point where they did not affect his actions. He thought that if he was more careful, even if the three drank the water of heroes at the same time, he would not be his opponent, so he dived from the bottom of the lake, followed the roots, Came to the village again.

This time, Zhu Jian easily defeated more than [-] ninjas, and only one of the three previous ninjas was still able to fight.

There is no lack of decisiveness in Zhujian at critical times.

But he wanted to steal other people's things, so he was at a loss, so he defeated everyone, and after forcing the other party to surrender, he let them go again without killing them.

The condition is the water of heroes.

The leader of Taki Ninja Village had to hand it over.

After the goal was accomplished, Hashirama was in a good mood, so he asked curiously, "Where did the two ninjas who injured me last time go? Why didn't they participate in the battle this time? Could it be that they aren't in the village?"

He remembered that after the two men drank the water of heroes, their combat strength increased a lot, and they directly injured themselves, but he did not injure them. It stands to reason that they should not participate in the battle now.

When the village leader heard this, he looked depressed, led him into a room, pointed to a spiritual card on it and said, "Muge is one of the people who injured you last time, because he drank the hero's water and his body couldn't bear it." He died that night, and the other person is lying on the hospital bed now, depending on the situation, it is estimated that he will not survive the next month."

Hashirama was shocked when he heard the words: "What, could it be that this Heroic Water has such a powerful side effect?"

The leader smiled wryly, "Do you know why he is called Heroic Water?"

Without waiting for Zhujian's answer, he continued, "Hero, hero, if you didn't have the determination to die, why would you drink it?"

"So that's how it is," Hashirama suddenly said, "It turns out that the reason why this water can instantly increase Chakra tenfold is because it overdraws life?"

The leader was silent.

Zhu Jian thought for a while, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a small bottle into it, and then returned the remaining half of the gourd to the leader: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that this water is so meaningful to you, I just need this one mouthful to drink water." That's enough, I'll give you the rest, I'm really sorry."

The leader didn't expect that Hashirama would return the water to him directly, and he felt happy when he found it again.

In fact, although this water is precious, a gourd can only be extracted every hundred years, but not many people have the courage to drink it. The gourd in hand was actually extracted 80 years ago, and there is still half of it left. There were less than 50 people who passed it, and only four people survived after drinking it. Two of them drank it a second time, and they all died within a day of drinking it.

Therefore, after knowing that Hashirama really only wanted the hero's water and had no intention of killing people, the leader would hand over the remaining half of the gourd. After all, he could collect it again after 20 years.

Of course, the leader did not tell Hashirama this news.

When parting, he also begged Zhujian not to disclose the matter of Hero's Water, so as to prevent people with evil intentions from bringing disaster to the village.

Zhujian said: "Don't worry, I won't mention a word, even if the elders in the family ask, I will only say that there is only so much water"

The leader looked at Hashirama's sincere expression, the expression on his face changed, he hesitated to speak.

Zhujian thought he was worried about the future of the village, so he promised: "Don't worry, if the village encounters any troubles in the future, you can come to the Qianshou family to find me. My full name is Qianshouzhujian."

The leader sighed and said, "Although you only took a small bottle, I still hope that you will never drink it!"

Hashirama smiled and waved his hands and said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention, no one wants to die, right, hahaha, goodbye, hey, I don't know if I have eaten too much raw fish these days, and my stomach is a little bit I'm not feeling well, let's go first"

The leader ran away as if seeing Hashirama escaped, full of energy, not a bit upset, sighed, and returned to the village.

Hashirama did have some stomach problems at the time, not diarrhea, but a little bloated, but it didn't affect his actions.

After that, Hashirama spent another five days returning to the land of the Thousand Hands, and told the Thousand Hands that the rumors were wrong, and there was no so-called spring water that could increase the chakra ten times in the country of Taki.

Fojian trusted his son very much and had no doubts. He just sighed and said, "I thought that if I got this kind of spring water, I would be able to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Uchiha. It seems that I was thinking too much."

Three days later, when Fojian and Zhujian went out on a mission, they were ambushed by a large number of enemies.

Chakra broke out and finally snatched back his seriously injured father.

On the way back to the family, I met Toikama and others who received the news and came to support. After Fojian handed over the position of patriarch to Hashirama, he died of serious injuries.

Zhu Jian thought that he would die soon, and originally wanted to refuse, but seeing his father dying, he didn't want to tell his father this, and let him die without peace of mind, so he temporarily agreed.

"There is still some time, after returning to the clan, I will hand over the position to Toikama," Hashirama thought.

On the night when he returned to the clan, Hashirama felt severe pain in his abdomen and passed out immediately.

"After I die, the patriarch will hand it over to you. You have to live well and lead everyone to live well together." He barely said these words before he fell into a coma.

However, Zhu Jian did not die. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by the pain, and wood patterns began to appear all over his body.

Hashirama was able to feel his own changes, but he couldn't say a word.

He didn't know how the two jounin who drank the hero's water died in the end, but it was probably similar to his current state.

Just like that, he fell into a coma in pain, was awakened by the pain again, and after tossing and tossing for a day and a night, he survived.

Hashirama watched his hair grow a lot, felt the chakra in his body eager to try, and fell into a moment of confusion.

However, his confusion didn't last long, because his old enemy Uchiha learned that Senju Buddha had died, and the successor Hashirama was also in a coma, so he launched an attack brazenly.

Senjujuma didn't have time to think, and went directly to the battlefield. In the contest with Uchiha Tajima, the current patriarch of Uchiha, he did not lose the wind.

Mu Dun also appeared in this battle, starting his legend.
