Chapter 300 The Water of Heroes
In the country of Taki, in front of a big waterfall.

"The agreed place is here, just wait quietly." Soseki said, sitting on the rock beside him.

"Didn't I say it? The entrance is behind the waterfall!" Jiaodu didn't have the consciousness of a prisoner at all, and even urged impatiently.

"After all, Takigakure regards this waterfall as a natural barrier." Soseki shrugged, "In this case, even if I know, I can only treat it as if I don't know."

"It's really troublesome!" Jiao Du frowned, "With your strength, there is no need to care about the opinions of those weak!"

Soseki shook his head slightly, "What I care about is not other people's opinions, but order!"

"Order? This kind of thing has nothing to do with it..." Jiao Du was talking when suddenly three figures appeared in front of them.

"This is Konoha's Special Envoy Soseki, right?" The man standing in the middle came out and introduced, "I am Shibuya, the leader of Takigakure Village. Regarding Konoha's arrest and return to our village for treason, I am very grateful for this!"

Soseki replied, "Master Shibuya is serious, this is what we should do as allies!"

Then, Shibuya introduced the two people standing next to him.

"The one on my left is our Takigakushi's Jonin Hookah. If I don't use the Hero's Water, my strength may not be as good as him. The one on the right is our Takigakure's Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Cocklebur. He It is the strongest combat power of our Takigakure."

After all, Kakuzu's assassination of the first generation of Hokage was done under the behest of the leaders of the previous generations of Takigakure, and they were also worried that Konoha would settle the old score with them, so this time they almost called out all the powerful combat forces in the village. At least not in terms of momentum.

Jiaodu watched indifferently from the side, "A bunch of idiots!"

This lineup didn't even feel too much threat to him. If Soseki Shimizu really had malicious intentions, they would make it easier for the other party to take over.

This situation is as stupid as three sheep coming together to show off their power in front of a lion!
The two who were greeting Soseki frowned.

"What do you mean you bastard?"

"Why are you so arrogant and rebellious? Do you really think of yourself as a senior?"

Kakuzu said calmly, "The comfortable life behind this waterfall has really kept you out of touch with this ninja world for too long! With the three of you, are you worthy of letting him back down?"

The faces of the three changed slightly, "What did you say? When did we have this idea?"

"Special Envoy Soseki is our distinguished guest of Takigakure, we have nothing but respect for him!"

Jiao Du sneered at this, "Oh, do you know it in your own hearts!"

"It's not up to you, a traitor, to comment on this kind of thing!" Shibuya cursed angrily, then looked at Soseki with an embarrassed yet polite smile, "Let Envoy Soseki see you as a joke."

Soseki smiled gently, "Master Shibuya, don't worry, of course I know Takigakure's kindness towards Konoha. After all, our two villages forged a deep friendship during the war!"

Shibuya smiled all over his face, "Haha, Special Envoy Soseki is right, I made a joke."

"Special Envoy Soseki, please come with me, the entrance of our Takigakure Village is behind this waterfall." After speaking, Shibuya looked at Soseki with apologetic expression, "Special Envoy Soseki, please return me regarding the entrance of Takigakure Keep it a secret for us when you go back."

Before Soseki said anything, Kakuzu couldn't help but sneered, "Takigakure is still the same as before, and he wants to fight for the status of the sixth ninja village, and he is reluctant to give up the comfortable life behind the waterfall!"

Shibuya heard the veins on his forehead bulge, "Shut up, don't forget your prisoner status!"

Shisha also looked suspiciously, "The intelligence records mentioned that Jiao is cruel and indifferent, so he shouldn't be as talkative as you. Could it be that he caught the wrong person?"

The corners of his mouth twitched cryptically, he used to talk less because the people who dared to provoke him were already dead.

But now, does he have room to resist?
Seeing that Kakuto finally stopped talking, Shibuya led Soseki to the back of the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall is a pool of water, the bottom of which cannot be seen at a glance, giving people a deep and dark feeling.

"This pool is very deep, and the bottom is connected to the lake of Longyin Village. You can just swim there!"

After saying that, Shibuya took the lead and jumped into the water.

Although the water in the pool is deep, it is not an obstacle to the few people who are all ninjas.

Soon, five people emerged from the lake.

Surrounded by green shade, towering old trees, and laughter everywhere, it is indeed a scene of paradise.

"Special Envoy Soseki, welcome to Takigakure!" After landing, Shibuya greeted him formally with pride.

"This kind of ease and peace is really enviable!" Soseki said with emotion, and then looked at the big tree in the center of the village, "This big tree is..."

This ancient tree is really too majestic, the open canopy seems to prop up the sky, sheltering the entire Longyin Village under the tree.

"Haha, this is..."

Shibuya was thinking about how to explain it, when Kakutsu interjected abruptly, "This is Takigakure's sacred tree, and sacred water flows out of it every hundred years—it is also called the water of heroes by the people in this village!"

"This bastard..." Seeing that Kakudo casually revealed the village's secrets, Shibuya was annoyed, but he had no choice but to say, "That's right, that's a gift from Shenmu to Takiyin Village!"

Shenmu... Soseki raised his eyebrows, and asked curiously, "I heard that the chakra in the body will increase dozens of times after drinking the water of heroes?"

Because a certain "taki traitor" was on the side, Shibuya couldn't hide it, "That's right, the water of heroes can indeed achieve such an effect!"

Perhaps because he was worried that Soseki coveted the hero's water, Shibuya quickly added, "However, increasing the chakra will also greatly shorten the user's lifespan, because those who drink it will use their lives to fight like heroes, That's why we call it the Water of Heroes!"

"It's amazing!" Soseki said with emotion, "Hero's Water, Nanao Jinchuriki, and Earth Resentment Mystery, with these three powers as support, Takigakushi's future must be much more stable."

It has to be said that Takigakure has Nanao Jinchuriki, the Water of Heroes, and the Secret Art of Earth Resentment. This kind of strength and background is simply unique in Xiaonin Village.

Even in Soseki's view, Takigakure's high-level faction assassinated the first generation of Hokage back then, not necessarily without the intention of declaring force and letting Senju Hashirama recognize their strength.

After all, the original Five Kingdoms established the ninja world structure through the Five Kages Conference in Senjuzhujian.

This is like the five hooligans in Soseki's previous life. After the world structure is established, it is not so easy for other hooligans to squeeze in.

The speaker has "no" heart, but the listener has intention.

Among the three, Shisha, the only one who has not mastered Taki's Hidden Treasure subconsciously glanced at Kakuzu a few more times, "It should be my turn to master Di Yuanyu's ability, right?"

　Thanks to Xiaoqi's cat for the 12000 reward.

　　In order to speed up the progress a bit, I didn’t write the daily routine when I returned to Konoha this time, I just skipped it (I originally wanted to write about the Nine-Tails Rebellion on the night of the Chinese New Year, but now it seems that I can’t catch up. To be precise, it should be a lot worse Σ (°Д°;).
