The Land of Waterfall, in front of a big waterfall.

"The agreed place is here, let's wait quietly." Sōseki said, sitting on the rock on the side.

"Didn't I say it? The entrance is behind the waterfall!" Kakuzu seems completely unaware that he is a prisoner now, and even urged impatiently.

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

"It's really troublesome!" Kakuzu frowned, "With your strength, there is no need to care about those weakling's opinions at all!"

Sōseki shook his head slightly and said, "What I care about is not the opinions of others, but the order!"

"Order? This kind of thing has nothing to do with..." Just as Kakuzu was talking, three figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

"You are the envoy from Konoha, Sōseki, right?" The man standing in the middle stepped out and introduced himself, "I am Shibuya, the leader of Takigakure Regarding Konoha's action of capturing and returning our village's Missing-nin, I'm very grateful!"

Sōseki replied, "Shibuya-dono is too polite, this is what we allies should do after all!"

Then, Shibuya introduced the two people standing beside him.

"The one on my left is our Takigakure's Jōnin, Suien. Without using the Hero Water, my strength may not be as good as his. The one on the right is the Jinchūriki of Nanabi from our Takigakure, Onamomi, and he is our Takigakure's strongest combat power."

Kakuzu's assassination of Shōdaime Hokage was done at the order of the previous generations of Takigakure's leader after all, and they were also worried that Konoha would settle the old account with them, so this time, almost all the powerful combat powers in the village were called out. So that they can show powerful momentum at the very least.

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

'This lineup doesn't even make me feel threatened. If this Shimizu Sōseki was really malicious, he can take care all of you easily.'

This kind of situation is as stupid as three sheep come together to show off their might in front of a lion!

Hearing this, the people, who are greeting Sōseki, frowned.

"What do you mean by bastard?"

"Why is a Missing-nin like you be so arrogant? Are you really thinking yourself as a senior?"

Kakuzu calmly opened his mouth and said, "The comfortable life behind this waterfall really has kept you out of touch with the Shinobi world for too long! With the three of you, is he worthy of making him scared?"

The faces of the three changed slightly when they heard this, "What are you talking about? When did we have such thoughts?"

"Special envoy Sōseki is the distinguished guest of our Takigakure, and we have nothing but respect for him!"

Kakuzu sneered at this, "Oh, are you aware of it yourself!"

"It's not something a Missing-nin like you to comment!" Shibuya cursed angrily, and then he looked towards Sōseki with an embarrassed but polite smile, "Sorry to show such an embarrassing scene, Sōseki-dono."

Sōseki smiled gently, "It's fine Shibuya-dono, of course I know Takigakure's kindness towards Konoha. After all, our two villages forged a deep friendship during the war!"

Shibuya chuckled and said, "Haha, Sōseki-dono is right."

"Sōseki-dono, please come with me. The entrance of our Takigakure behind this waterfall." After saying that, Shibuya looked towards Sōseki apologetically, "Sōseki-dono, I would have to ask you please keep the entrance to Takigakure a secret after you go back."

Before Sōseki said anything, Kakuzu couldn't help but mocked, "Takigakure is still unable to stand on the stage as before. You all wanted to fight for the status of the sixth Great Shinobi Village, but you all are reluctant to give up the comfortable life behind the waterfall!"

The veins on Shibuya's forehead violently pop out upon hearing this, "Shut up, don't forget your status as a prisoner!"

At this moment, Suien looked at Kakuzu suspiciously, "Kakuzu is said to be cruel and indifferent in the information record, so he shouldn't be as talkative as you are. Could it be that the wrong person was captured?"

The corners of Kakuzu's mouth twitched upon hearing this. After all, the reason he used to talk less is because everyone who dared to provoke him would die.

But now, does he still have ability to resist?

Seeing that Kakuzu finally stopped talking, Shibuya led Sōseki to walk through the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall is a pond, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance, giving people a feeling of deep darkness.

"This pond is very deep, and the bottom is connected to the lake surface of Takigakure. Just swim over and you will arrive!"

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

Although the water in the pond is deep, it is not a hindrance to these people who are all Shinobi.

Soon, five people emerged from the lake.

Surrounded by greenery, towering old trees, and there are happy laughter and cheerful voices everywhere. It is indeed a scene of hidden paradise.

"Special envoy Sōseki, welcome to Takigakure!" Shibuya officially welcomed him proudly.

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

The ancient tree is too majestic. The open canopy is like supporting the sky, sheltering the entire Takigakure under the tree.

"Haha, this is..."

Just as Shibuya was thinking about how to explain it, Kakuzu abruptly interjected, "This is Takigakure's sacred tree, from which sacred water flows every one hundred years. This sacred water is also known as the Hero Water by the people of this village!"

'This bastard...' Seeing Kakuzu casually explained the secret of the village, Shibuya was secretly annoyed, but he had no choice but to say, "Yes, that's sacred tree's gift to Takigakure!"

'Sacred tree…' Sōseki's eyebrows raised and by pretending to be curious, he asked, "I heard that the chakra in the body of the person who drinks the Hero Water will explode dozens of times?"

Because a certain "Takigakure" is on the side, Shibuya couldn't hide it, "Yeah, the Hero Water can indeed achieve such an effect!"

Perhaps worried that Sōseki is coveting the Hero Water, Shibuya quickly added, "However, increasing the chakra will also greatly shorten the user's lifespan. And because those who drink it will look like Hero who use their lives to fight, we call it the Hero Water! "

"It's really amazing!" Sōseki said with emotion, "The Hero Water, Nanabi's Jinchūriki, and the Secret Technique, Earth Grudge Fear, with these three powers as support, Takigakure's future will surely be much more stable."

Takigakure has Nanabi's Jinchūriki, Hero Water, and the Secret Technique, Earth Grudge Fear. It has to be said that this kind of strength and heritage is simply unique in the small Shinobi Village.

Even in Sōseki's view, when Takigakure's leader sent Kakuzu to assassinate Shōdaime Hokage, they may have been the intention of declaring force to make Senju Hashirama recognize their strength.

After all, the original Five Great Countries in the Shinobi World was established through the Five Kage Summit led by Senju Hashirama.

This is like the big hooligans in Sōseki's previous life. After establishing the world pattern, it will not be easy for other hooligans to squeeze in.

Suien, who is the only among these people who didn't have Takigakure's hidden treasure, subconsciously glanced at Kakuzu and thought, 'It should be my turn to master the Earth Grudge Fear Technique, right?'
