Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

A Fei showed a hint of mockery on Uchiha Jing's young face and said to Kakuzu opposite him:

"Ah, I thought the legendary Kakuzu-sama was a cold-blooded and heartless person?

It turns out that you still care about the friendship between fellow countrymen and are reluctant to kill~~~"

Listening to Ah Fei's noisy voice, Kakuzu had no expression on his face.

Along the way, he has developed a certain level of tolerance for Ah Fei's chatterbox, but even so, the irritation in his heart cannot be calmed down.

If this mission didn't require Ah Fei's help, with his personality, he might have killed this annoying guy halfway.

He took a deep breath before slowly explaining:

"Shut your filthy mouth!

I didn't kill them simply because I was afraid that the smell of blood would bring unnecessary trouble.

The seven-tailed beast will be at the altar tomorrow, so don't let it go!

Until then, just shut up and stay here."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Ah Fei, closed his eyes and sat back in the chair to rest.

As a former jonin of Takigakure Village, Kakuzu certainly knew the time when the village paid tribute to the Seven-Tails.

This time, the two of them naturally came to capture the tailed beasts under the order of Uchiha Madara.

However, compared to those tailed beasts who became jinchūriki, the free Seven-Tails made the two of them feel a little embarrassed.

The reason is simple, because this seven-tailed fox can fly.

Nanao Shigeaki looks like a beetle with six wings and a tail.

It usually lives in the Tree of Life and basically lives on the tree. Its whereabouts are difficult to be discovered, after all, the tree is so big.

Coupled with its special property of being able to fly, it became extremely difficult for the two to catch it.

Fortunately, as natives of Takigakure Village, everyone knows that the seven-tailed beast will definitely appear on the monthly tribute day.

So after calculating the time, the two of them sneaked into Takigakure Village two days in advance and waited.

Seeing that Kakuzu closed his eyes and looked like he didn't want to pay any attention to him, A Fei could only find a place to sit down and stare blankly, feeling a little bored.

The scene changed, and after discussing with Hikoki, Kagura and others reached an agreement with him.

After all, everyone already knows that Kakuzu and the others' target is Nanao, so it is obvious that these two will appear on the altar tomorrow.

For Kagura and the others, the most important goal this time is to rescue Uchiha Shizuka.

Of course, if it could help hinder Uchiha Madara's plan, Kagura would be happy to see that.

For the Takigakure Village, Nanao is like the village's patron saint, so they naturally don't want it to be easily abducted.

So the two sides hit it off and chose to cooperate. After formulating a battle plan, Kagura and others were arranged in a secret residential area.

But when she walked out of the meeting room, Kagura had two more bottles in her hands.

This is certainly not mineral water, but the specialty of Takigakure Village - "Hero's Water".

This was something Kagura offered to obtain on his own initiative. He even collected all the money from the four people to buy the two bottles of liquid.

But for Yanmu, this is not a treasure that cannot be obtained by outsiders.

In fact, because of Kakuzu's rebellion twenty years ago, Takigakure has not been able to recover to its original strength until now.

The decline of national strength has naturally affected the way they do things.

Over the years, Taki Country, which has taken the initiative to lower its stance, has rarely been involved in wars.

Under this premise, this kind of "hero water" will rarely be used.

Coupled with its aftereffects, Takigakure Village has accumulated a lot of inventory over the years.

So when Kagura, his partner, offered to buy it with money, Hikone agreed after just a moment's hesitation.

Holding the two bottles of liquid excitedly, Kagura immediately hid in the room as soon as she arrived at the residence arranged for them by Hikoki.

He certainly didn't buy this "Heroic Water" for his own drinking or for any strange experiments.

Instead, when they were discussing the battle plan later, he finally grasped the thought that had flashed through his mind before.

According to Hikoki's account, this liquid is very beneficial to the tailed beasts or summoned beasts, so will it have any effect on his own summoned creatures, the snow-white egg?

You know, Sarutobi Hiruzen once helped him study the egg and made a conclusion.

Kagura's summoned beast is a very powerful creature, but it is still in its infancy.

And because of its power, it will be more difficult for it to break out of its shell than ordinary psychic beasts.

In that case, if I feed the egg some nutrient solution, would that help it hatch earlier?

Thinking of this, Kagura couldn't wait to pour the two bottles of liquid in his hands into a basin.

After pouring it out, Kagura finally saw the true face of the "Hero's Water".

This is actually a slightly golden liquid with tiny star-like particles floating in it, which looks very beautiful.

Without further hesitation, after a simple spiritual communication, Kagura summoned the egg.

After putting the snow-white egg in, Kagura took a few steps back and observed it carefully.

To be honest, he was a little afraid that he might end up making things worse and causing the egg to die in the womb.

As he watched anxiously, the scene in front of him finally changed.

The egg in the water suddenly shook as if excited, and then Kagura could clearly see those star-like particles constantly approaching the eggshell and disappearing.

After watching for a few minutes, Kagura finally breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that the egg in front of her was absorbing the energy of the liquid.

At this moment, he couldn't help but look forward to the scene after the egg hatched.

Chapter 86: Battle against the tailed beasts?

At noon on the second day, under the altar of Takigakure Village.

The four Kagura clan members and a group of Takigakure's jonin were lurking below, their eyes fixed on the altar.

Kagura sat at the table and observed the egg all night last night.

However, what made him depressed was that all the stars in the basin of "Hero's Water" were absorbed, and even the golden liquid turned back into a clear color.

The egg was like a satisfied diner after enjoying dinner. After shaking slightly as if it had a burp, it stopped moving.

Obviously, Kagura didn't understand what was going on with its current situation for a moment.

Are you ready to rest because you can’t eat anymore, or are you not full yet?

But even if she wasn't full, Kagura couldn't have the nerve to ask Hikki for another meal, right?

No matter what, this is still a strategic item of Takigakure Village.

Besides, the four of them don’t have a penny left, so they can’t buy it…

Kagura, who was originally full of hope, had to return home disappointed in the end.

In the end, he could only put away the egg with disappointment and focus on this mission.

Under the altar, Jiraiya, who was hiding in the trees, couldn't help but ask Hikoki:

"We have been waiting for almost the whole morning. Will the tailed beast come?"

Before Hikone could reply, Kagura suddenly stretched out her right hand to stop the conversation between the two.

Everyone followed his gaze towards the sky and saw a small black dot appear in the sky.

As the black spot approached, everyone gradually saw its true appearance.

This is a beetle with six wings and a tail, it is the legendary Nanabi Shigeaki.

As it gets closer, its body gradually grows larger.

Finally, when the people in ambush were almost fainted by the noise of its flapping wings, it finally landed on the altar.

Although its eyes were covered by an iron cover-like shell, everyone could still see the joy on its face when it looked at the "Hero's Water" on the altar.

It raised its seemingly clumsy forelimbs and picked up the bottle of liquid in front of it.

Under Kagura's astonished gaze, it gently twisted open the bottle mouth with its giant forelimbs that were disproportionate to the bottle.

Then, like an impatient drunkard, he lifted the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

Throwing away the empty bottle, Nanao let out a comfortable cry and stood there for a long time, as if savoring the rare drink.

At this moment, something strange happened.

The ground beneath Nanao's feet suddenly cracked open, and a giant Buddha that Kagura and others were very familiar with suddenly appeared in front of Nanao.

Obviously, hundreds of years of comfortable life have made Nanao lose his vigilance.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the huge Buddha statue, Nanao stood there in a daze, as if she had not yet come to her senses from her confusion.

But the giant Buddha obviously would not wait for it, and its countless arms shook like thunder.

Before Nanao could react, it had been tied up by countless arms and firmly pinned to the ground.

A red light flashed under its eye mask, and the top corner of its head slightly raised, obviously wanting to use some skill.

But at this moment, a white dead branch suddenly appeared above its head.

The tiny white branches barely touched its body before spreading over its armor-like shell like rapidly multiplying vines.

The branch was like the most terrifying worm, it frantically drilled through the cracks in its shell and burrowed deeply into its flesh.

Nanao Shigeaki finally couldn't bear the pain anymore and let out a shrill wail.

As its twisting body stopped moving, two people covered in black robes appeared.

It was Kakuzu and Afei.

Ignoring the Nanami who had been controlled, Kakuzan turned his attention to another place, which was where Kagura and others were ambushing.

His hoarse voice spread throughout the battlefield:

"Aren't you going to show up yet?"

After hearing this, Kagura and the others realized that the other party had already known of their existence.
