Taki Ninja Village is right in front of you.

Unlike Konoha Village, this village is not surrounded by high walls. The surrounding mountains and cliffs are the most natural city walls, which are strong and reliable. Over the years, Taki has protected Taki from being violated by foreign enemies. Of course, there is also a bad point, that is, the internal and external transportation is not very convenient, which hinders the communication between the village and the outside world.

Fortunately, this basin is extremely large and has a warm and humid climate, which is very suitable for reclaiming farmland, planting fruits and melons, and daily food and drink expenses, and even has a considerable surplus. In other words, some materials that cannot be produced by themselves need to be imported from the outside world, but without the bulk of grain, the remaining materials needed can be sent in with storage scrolls.

Therefore, there is only a narrow access path to Taki Ninja Village.

Closed, conservative.

This is Nagarjuna's view of Taki Ninja Village.

But that's how he wants.

This is the best!

Yes, the best!

After leaving Konoha, Nagarjuna, in addition to running to Yunyin Village to steal the amber bottle, he also revolved around several countries around the Kingdom of Fire, including Tang, Frost, Field, Taki, and Grass. He went one by one. Except for the Kingdom of Rain, which hides the giant crocodile, which is a ghost place.

The Kingdom of Tang is a vassal state of the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Tang is also a puppet of Konoha. It is no different from staying under Konoha's nose.

The Kingdom of Frost... Originally, Yun Nin's younger brother, he became Konoha's horseman after losing the three battles, but Yun Nin did not completely accept his fate, and Frost Nin did not give up. All kinds of frictions and disputes have not ended for a year. In addition, the ghost weather there is not a good place to do research.

Tanobu Country is a good alternative. Unfortunately, there is no ninja village. It is difficult to collect the corpses of living ninjas or ninjas when doing experiments. He did not intend to build a ninja village with bare hands like Orochimaru. It would take too much time and energy.

There is also the Kingdom of Grass, which is quite close to Konoha. Konoha ninjas often appear in the Kingdom of Grass, which is not a good place to go.

Look at it, the neutral, closed and conservative Takino Country is the best experimental platform.

It just so happened that Kushin and Taki Ninja were engaged in a secret war, and they could collect Kushin's corpses openly, and even use the captured Kushinja... Finally, Nagarjuna selected Taki Ninja as a research laboratory for the immortal arts research experiment.

That's right, the study of immortal arts.

All this is for the study of immortal arts.

"Master Red Ghost, Master Shimu, please come over."

Takien, wearing a black ghost mask, knelt in front of Nagarjuna on one knee.

"I see."

Naruto waved his hand and repelled Takirin's Anbu.

Taki Ninja Village also has Anbe. After the second generation of Naruto founded the Anbe system, major ninja villages followed suit. The Taki Ninja Village, which claims to be the sixth largest, did not fall behind. It also established Anbe. However, unlike Konoha's animal pattern mask, Taki Ninja Anbe used the ghost mask as a template in order to make a distinction. The mask worn by Naruto is the product.

Leading Uchiha Liuli, who was confused, walked through the rooftop platform, and soon came to a courtyard.

The guards around the courtyard saluted after seeing Nagarjuna's figure.

Ignoring the guards, Nagarjuna walked into the yard, there were rockery, ponds, bamboo forests, stone lanterns, and the birds with green tail feathers were stationed on the stone lanterns. The old man with white hair and beards under the eaves knelt on the smooth mirror-like floor of the corridor, with a pile of documents beside him, holding a cup of tea in his hand, staring at the birds on the stone lanterns.

"Qingshui, you're back."

When Nagarjuna came in, the bird on the stone lantern flew away with its wings. The old man just looked over and spoke, his voice hoarse.

It's rough like sandpaper.

Listening to the old man's words, Uchiha Ryuri thought so.

But "Qingshui"? Plus the previous "Red Ghost", what's going on?

"The relationship between Konoha and Kusain is not as close as we guessed." Naruto said, and sat down on the corridor. "There is no support from Kusain's actions, so you can fight back with confidence, although we are actually at a disadvantage now."

"That's how it works!"

The old man rubbed the stone pottery tea cup.

"Qimizu, since it has nothing to do with Konoha... I'll leave the next thing to you!"

"I'll do it?"

"What's the problem? Weiyuan is also good at it, but unfortunately he can't be your opponent... My body is almost done. When I die, the position I will be yours. If you can, don't kill Weiyuan. He is the only one in the village."

“······ Have you discovered it?”

Nagarjuna took off his mask and showed his true face.

"Haiyui, Red Ghost... It's also a fate. The chief of the Anbu has been coded with "Red Ghost" throughout the ages. After walking too much at night, he finally attracted the real "Ghost". "The old man glanced at Naruto and said a jokey saying that was not very funny, "Uchiha Naruto... Can you tell me the reason? Why do people like you come to such remote places?"

"You have already mentioned the reason, it's a remote place! I'm a rebellious ninja now! Could it be that I'm going to be carelessly circling under the noses of Konoha Ninja? Taki Ninja Village is very remote, with a pleasant climate and a picturesque scenery. I think it's a very good place to cultivate, so I borrow some precious place." Naruto said with a smile.

The old man also smiled bitterly.

The pleats on her face that looked like orange peel were shaking.

"Qingshui····························································"

"Since I have discovered my true identity, then, Chief Shemu really wants me to inherit your position? Are you not going to order all the people to kill me to avenge the dead Qingshui?" Nagarjuna looked at the old man who shook his head and sighed.

"I am the third generation leader of the village. The first generation leader was killed by the [Shura] of your Uchiha family. The second generation leader and the senior management at that time were killed by the traitor of Kaodu. I was lucky enough to survive. It was not my turn to sit in this seat, but other people who were more qualified than me died, so... I, who had no ability, became the leader of the village."

The old man said slowly.

Nagarjuna sat peacefully on the corridor and listened to the old man's words.

"I am an incompetent person, otherwise the village would not have become so weak over the years. Even those fence-bearing grass looked down on us, and even planned to annex our Taki Nin... The most tragic thing is that we are indeed no match for Kusato now. If Kusato was not afraid of Qiwei, he would have already entered the village outside Chenbing."

"It's a pity that the Seven-Tails····The Seven-Tails···The Seven-Tails···The current Seven-Tails·····There are no longer enough to control that power. Not to mention going to the battlefield, we don't even dare to let the Seven-Tails········· If we continue like this, the village may really be destroyed in the hands of Kushin."

"That's not. Aihara has good skills. If he inherits your position, it's not to mention letting Taki Nin restore his old power, but there is no problem to block Kusa Nin's invasion. Kusa Nin is only a little better than you. Like you, there is no real master, that is, the overall quality is better." Naruto shook his head.

"Camin····After all, I have experienced the atmosphere of the ninja war at close range."

Kushin.

This group of fence-headed grass has participated in almost three ninja wars. However, unlike the five major ninja villages that have suffered heavy casualties, the losses of Kushin are minimal every time. This group of fence-headed grass can always show changes in the wind and turn to the winner's side at the exact time.

Although I have never participated in a truly fierce battle and just followed behind to pick some carrion to eat, Taki Nin, who has made progress better than watching the fun with her closed door.

"Ha! That's good, that's good!" The old man's smile became a little happier.

"Don't go too far, why should I pass the position of the leader to me?" Nagarjuna was very curious.

He killed Shimizu, who was originally code-named "Red Ghost", searched and sorted out his memory, and then replaced his identity and moved in Taki Ninja Village. Of course, he thought about what to do after his identity was exposed, but the old man's reaction was not in his expectation.

Uchiha Ryuri sat beside Naruto, looking at Naruto and the old man, no longer knowing what to say!

She probably understood what Nagarjuna and the old man said.

I calmed down and carefully sorted out the causes and consequences. It seemed that Nagarjuna killed a man named Shimizu, and then replaced this person's identity and moved in Taki Ninja Village. Now, Nagarjuna's murder and impersonation were discovered by the leader named Shiki, the leader of Taki Ninja Village. But the old man did not break up with Nagarjuna, but wanted to pass the position of the leader to Nagarjuna...

"There is no such complicated reason, mainly because you are too powerful! I think even if everyone in the village dies, it may not be able to hurt you. Instead of letting everyone die for nothing, it is better to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Judging from your identity as a substitute for Kiyomizu, you may not be prepared to send the entire Taki Ninja Village to hell......"

"As long as Taki Ninja Village can continue to pass on it... There is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. Even if Konoha's rebel ninja becomes the leader of the village, it doesn't matter if many people die in the village, as long as Taki Ninja is still alive... "The old man stared at Nagarjuna, with a peaceful expression.

Uchiha Ryuri shivered.

She heard what the old man meant. As long as Naruto didn't plan to completely destroy Taki Ninja Village, no matter how he did it, it would be fine. Even if he killed someone, he would kill many people...

"······Okay! I've done this deal."

Nagarjuna nodded and agreed.

"Destroy Taki Ninja Village... I'm too lazy to do such boring things! I do have other purposes in this village, but you can rest assured that my purpose will not cause too much damage to Taki Ninja. As long as Kushin doesn't give up attacking Taki Ninja, my knife will not cut on Taki Ninja's head."

"Then... everything is left to you, Qingshui!!"

After saying that, the old man looked away and his eyes fell on the small bamboo forest in the corner of the yard and swam with a bird.

“······You are amazing!”

Nagarjuna stood up.

The first time I used honorific words.

Looking at the old man who was still as motionless as a rock, he couldn't help but raise his lips and smile.

You really can't underestimate people!

I thought I was doing a clean job of killing people and impersonating a name, but I was found out by this old man who said he was incompetent. It was not surprising to say that this was strictly speaking. Although he tried hard to use the Sharingan to torture the memory of the unlucky guy he killed, it was impossible to be perfect after all. It was not too surprising to be exposed. I can only say that he was not lucky.

What he really admired was the old man's courage and decisiveness.

He gave up revenge simply and neatly, and even without any constraints, he just used Nagarjuna's few words to abide by the identity of "Qingshui", and proactively promised that he would pass the position of the leader to him after he died, suppressing the survival of the entire village.

And he believed that the old man would die soon.

When the old man dies and the only person in charge disappears, he is the real chief of the Anbu of Taki Ninja Village, the next leader, Shimizu, code-named "Aki Ghost"... The entire Taki Ninja Village will be the thing in his palm.

Not caring about things that do not belong to you is a common feature of most people and a subconscious choice.

So after discovering Naruto's identity, the old man chose to gamble and turn Taki Ninja Village into Naruto's things. In this way, the possibility of Taki Ninja Village being destroyed can be greatly reduced. Moreover, with Uchiha Naruto, even the invasion of Kushin will no longer be a threat... Two birds with one stone, in desperate situation

"Let's go, Liuli."

Nagarjuna put on the mask again and left the courtyard with Uchiha Ryuri.

It was different from the original plan, but as long as the final result was similar, it didn't matter. Taki Ninja Village was a large laboratory for him to study immortal arts. That's all, it was a good thing for him to be able to hold the entire village more easily.

"How is it? Liuli, is the outside world interesting?"

Walking on the ridge, Nagarjuna turned around and looked at the little girl with a tight little face.

"It's very interesting, even more exciting than the stories in the book."

"Ha ha!"

Nagarjuna smiled and looked up at the irregular square sky cut by the surrounding cliffs. "It's really interesting... Even I didn't expect it to be like this. I really can't underestimate these old-fashioned guys... But fortunately, this world depends on whose fists are harder...."

He clenched his fists.
