The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 934 The Troubled Takigakure

The country of Taki.

This is a small country located next to the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass.

Takigaku Village is located here.

Compared to the neighboring Grass Village, it is already a relatively well-developed small ninja village below the five great ninja villages.

However, development in Takigakure Village has almost come to a standstill.

Back when all villages were in their primitive stages, Takigakure also produced many Jonin, making the village very powerful. As a result, it even received a Tailed Beast.

The village of Takigakure is hidden behind a waterfall, which protects it from the covetous eyes of many who want their tailed beasts.

However, precisely because they closed themselves off from the world, they failed to keep up with the efforts of the outside world to develop their economies.

So this place is getting poorer and poorer.

While every household in the Land of Fire had a television and a refrigerator, Takigakure Village had only just been connected to electricity.

Apart from the light bulbs, there were no other electrical appliances.

Not to mention that the Land of Fire has now built a large number of national highways, which not only facilitates transportation but also brings convenience to trade.

The area around Takigakure is still an undeveloped primeval forest, as if time has stood still for decades.

However, the current leader of Takigakure is just a teenager and doesn't have very sophisticated skills, so he hasn't thought of a better method yet.

Today he was meeting with the village's only two young Jonin to discuss the future of Takigakure.

“We in Takigakure have too few resources, so it won’t be easy for us to develop,” said the Jonin named Hanagi.

Despite being the leader of Takigakure Village, Shibuki is just a young man who is not yet twenty years old.

Although he is called the village chief, he actually only leads a few hundred villagers, which is completely different from other ninja villages.

He didn't even have much education. He became the village chief because his father sacrificed himself to save the village, and he also risked his life to defeat the enemy to save the village.

Shibuki rubbed his face helplessly: "The only thing of value in Takigakure is the Hero's Water."

"But this thing has too great an attraction to the outside world, and it can easily bring disaster."

The Jonin Yang Lang, who was standing nearby, said, "I think we could try going to Konoha."

"Although this kind of thing can be considered a divine object, Konoha is too wealthy. They even have the technique to resurrect people."

"The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is a very good person, so there's no need to worry about them coveting him."

Shibuki hesitated slightly: "You know, there's only so much Hero's Water..."

Jonin Yanglang coughed, interrupting Shibuki's speech:

“Village chief, this thing will remain useless if it stays here.”

"It would be better to exchange it for something of value."

"Our Takigakure Village is too poor."

Shibuki took a deep breath: "Yes, you're right. If this continues, no one will be able to use the Hero's Water."

The Hero's Water is actually holy water flowing from a giant tree in the very center of Takigakure Village.

Drinking the Water of Life will increase chakra dozens of times over for a period of time. In the past, Takigakure relied on drinking the Water of Heroes to resist external enemies.

However, the Water of Life is a double-edged sword; the life force of ninjas who drink the Hero's Water will be eroded.

Many ninjas did not die in battle, but from the side effects of the Hero's Water.

A small number of ninjas survived, and their potential will be greatly developed.

Sheki survived by drinking the "Hero's Water" after protecting the villagers when he was young.

However, there are very few such ninjas, so Takigakure sealed away the Hero's Water.

The village leaders' duty has been to protect the Heroic Water.

But now we have no choice but to use this thing.

"This matter is still somewhat dangerous, so I can only leave it to you two," Shemu said, looking at Huayan and Yanglang.

Hua Yan and Yang Lang replied, "Leave it to us, Village Chief."

Shibuki stood up: "Come with me to get some Hero's Water."

He then led the two out of the room.

But when they went outside to the mountain wall, they saw a girl lying on the ground in a spread-eagle position.

He muttered to himself, "Ugh...so boring!"

This person is none other than Fu, the village's Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Upon seeing the three approaching, Fu immediately sat up.

"Village chief, what are you doing?"

The three exchanged a glance, and Shibuki said, "You can stay here." With that, he left first, leaving the other two to deal with Fu.

Hua Yan replied helplessly, "We need to go to Konoha Village to discuss business."

Fu's eyes lit up: "I want to go! I want to go!"

This guy is a troublemaker who just wants to make friends and go out and have fun.

Now that they heard that Hua Yan and Yang Lang were going out, they immediately seized the opportunity.

Hua Yan sighed and said, "We're here to do business, not to play. You're the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. If your identity is exposed, it will be extremely dangerous."

There are only so many people in the village, so it's impossible for Hua Yan and the others to disappear silently. They can only tell Fu Ming.

Fu's words were so familiar, she was sick of them. She waved her hands and closed her eyes:

"Hmph, what danger could there be? If you're not taking me, I'll just go out by myself."

Hua Yan and Yang Lang both knew that Fu was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

There were only two Jonin in the village, and if they weren't there, Fu could do whatever she wanted.

Yang Lang said helplessly, "Fu, don't be willful..."

"Hmph! I want to see the outside world and make more friends!"

"Never mind, let her go." At this moment, Shemu came out with a gourd in his hand.

The gourd looks very ordinary, just like a regular water-storing gourd.

However, this gourd is very small, and it only holds about 500 milliliters of water.

This was dispensed from the large gourd of Hero's Water.

Fu's attention wasn't on the gourd, because she knew nothing about the Hero's Water.

However, when she heard that Shibuki had agreed to let her leave the village, she jumped up with joy!

"Very good!"

Hua Yan frowned and asked, "Village Chief, how could you agree to let her go out?"

Shibuki said helplessly, "Once she says it, there's no stopping her. She really will sneak out."

Hua Yan and Yang Lang exchanged a glance and could only accept it.

With a serious expression, Shibuki said to Fu, "Remember, your identity cannot be revealed, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"Listen to Hua Yan and Yang Lang about what happens on the road."

Fu was filled with excitement about being able to leave the village, so she kept nodding and saying, "Mmm, mmm."

Whether she listened or not, only she knows.

Seeing this, Shemu knew that further words were useless, so he helplessly handed the gourd to Huayan:

"You guys get ready, go early and come back early."

"Yes!"
