Roll back from Naruto

Takino Country, Takigakure Village, is said to be a village surrounded by huge waterfalls.

The terrain is extremely special, so although Takigakure Village has been invaded by foreign enemies many times so far, no matter which time these invaders have never really brought the flames of war to the interior of Takigakure Village.

The strength of Takigakure Village is one of the best among the ninja villages in the small country in the ninja world. It is slightly inferior to Amegakure Village, but it is still better than Sogokakure Village.

However, this was only the situation of the ninja world half a year ago.

During the Battle of Whirlpool Country, a coalition of tens of thousands of ninjas was trapped on a "desert island". Especially for these small countries, their vitality was completely damaged. For example, Takigakure Village lost almost half of its active ninjas.

Therefore, Takigakure can be said to be in a state of half-empty blood and half disabled. Although with the natural giant waterfall as a barrier, he does not have to worry about being targeted by other countries.

In Aragaki Tsugumi's eyes, when it comes to Taki-nin, the first thing that comes to mind is Takigakure-nin, who had a "fight" with him.

The nearly immortal power of Yu Yu comes from Takigakure's seal taboo. In fact, this can also show from the side that Takigakure still has some strength.

And according to Aragaki's understanding, there is another "treasure" in Takigakure Village, something called "Hero's Water".

It's not like Aragaki has never seen its effects before. For example, during the war in the Uzumaki Kingdom, he discovered that some Taki ninja would forcibly increase their strength and enhance chakra in a short period of time by drinking a certain liquid.

To put it simply, it is almost like taking medicine.

The side effects are also very obvious. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, it will become completely weak. Taking it multiple times may even be life-threatening.

Not to mention what will happen when used in combat. After taking the medicine, the seeds will explode. If the enemy cannot be killed in the seed explosion stage, I will die... So what Aragaki is interested in is not actually the so-called "Heroic Water", but this

The exact origin of Heroic Water.

I heard that it came from a huge thousand-year-old tree in Takigakure Village. If this is true, wouldn't it be worth investigating? Could this have something to do with the sacred tree?

Of course, Aragaki did not forget that the purpose of his trip to Taki Country was to find and capture the tailed beast Nanao Shigeaki.

However, Taki no Kuni said that Kona is indeed not that big, but in fact it is at least the size of a province. How could he happen upon it by chance when he had no clue in this vast forest?

Therefore, Aragaki set his sights on Takigakure Village.

Because according to history, at a certain period of time decades later, Nanao Shigeaki can be confirmed to be sealed in the body of Takigakure Ninja Fu, and it was still when Fu was young.

Then what Aragaki had to do was very simple. First, he went to Takigakure Village to explore the truth. After all, the information about the Nanao that he had previously obtained from the heads of the Fire Country dignitaries was actually obtained from Takigakure Village.

Then, if Takigakure has already started trying to capture it, or has already captured Nanao, then take it away before Takigakure has the strength to weaponize it.

After all, as the saying goes, the treasures in the world belong to those who are virtuous! If you don’t have strength? You will only become a common man who is not guilty, but who is guilty of having a treasure.

So Aragaki was helping Taki-nin by doing this. Going even further? He saved the Nanao Jinchurifu decades in advance.

It seems that Taki-nin should thank him properly!

…

After Aragaki walked out of the snowy land of Snow Country, he didn't know if it was an illusion? He even felt that his control over chakra had improved a bit.

After all, he had to keep refining and circulating a large amount of chakra all the time in the extremely harsh snowy environment. Now suddenly returning to the forest landscape with extremely comfortable natural environment, it was like having all the burdens lifted off him.

So after entering the country of Taki, Aragaki basically chose to fly at high altitude through fast escape? In this way, he can not only easily confirm the direction of travel, but also find the whereabouts of Takigakure Village through terrain observation.

Aragaki had been floating in the sky for two days, and finally he found a place in the dense forest that was very similar to the description of Takigakure Village.

That's around a high plateau? There's also a circular waterfall.

At first glance from the sky, it is indeed impossible to see clearly through the canopy and leaves whether there are any man-made traces such as buildings underneath.

And if this is really Takigakure Village? Then there must be some kind of blessing such as a ninjutsu barrier that can be used as a "blind vision".

However, just when Aragaki was about to airborne into it to find out what was going on, he suddenly noticed a black shadow heading towards him at an extremely fast speed!

Aragaki was a little surprised? He was almost optically invisible in the air through his quick escape, and yet someone could detect him and launch an attack through this weird method.

So he immediately launched all-round coverage? The next second, he saw only that black and slender "object" completely frozen by ice and stopped in front of him.

At this point he was finally able to carefully observe what it was, a straight black needle? No, he already knew what it was.

Takigakure's rebellious ninja, Kakuzu, this black needle is the Earthly Resentment Yu. Together with the ice cubes, he completely crushed the Earthly Resentment Yu.

Is it this guy Kakuzu again? Pursuing the direction in which the Earthly Resentment Yu flew? Aragaki locked onto an area in the forest, and then accelerated straight towards it.

"Kakuzu, come out, I've seen you!" Aragaki stayed above the forest. As long as he had control of the air, he was not afraid of any real threat from Kakuzu.

The next second, all he saw was a group of black tentacles emerging from the top of a big tree, and finally the tentacles slowly merged into a human shape.

Kakuzu also spoke at this time: "Aragaki Tsugumi, long time no see!"

Obviously, this thing that can be tentatively called the "Earthly Resentment Yu Clone" is not Kakuzu's true body. And Kakuzu naturally hid all his hearts underground.

So the two of them started a conversation in the sky and on the ground.

"It's been a long time. Are you still thinking about my head? I just don't know if the price of my head has increased." In fact, Aragaki had some doubts. Kakuzu didn't seem to come to fight with him.

"Well, don't you know? No wonder there is no news of your appearance in any black market. Now your value has increased, with a total value of 600 million taels, hahaha!" Kakuzu said with a grin.

"What about you, are you here to take my head? But what I'm curious about is, why do you, a Taki-nin and a rebellious nin, appear here? And since you have appeared, does it mean that this is really Taki-nin?

Is the Hidden Village correct?"

Aragaki asked a series of questions to Kakuzu.
