Chapter 260 (1/2)
Waterfall Country, Takigakure.
This country has a rather peculiar terrain, consisting of many wide but low mountains, and most of the settlements are located on the created plains in the mountains.
There are a large number of villages located behind the waterfalls, and Takigakure is one of them, it is located behind a huge waterfall.
At this moment.
The waterfall was completely destroyed, and in its place a large gorge was formed, apparently, this was due to the explosion of the Bijudama.
Streams of water flowed down the sides of the gorge, and in the center was the ruined Takigakure.
Here you could see the gathered Shinobi Taki, but the symbols on their forehead protectors were already different.
They still had the symbol of their native village on them, but now there was a large Konoha symbol next to it, the two symbols were connected by a strip that meant unification.
All other shinobi of the villages absorbed by Konoha wear approximately the same forehead protectors to show which village the Shinobi originally belonged to.
This was also done to stabilize the situation and demonstrate Konoha's dominance.
The younger generation of Shinobi will be trained at the Konoha Shinobi Academy, and after graduation, they will wear the usual Konoha forehead protector, without the symbol of their native village.
”It's terrible...»
Kurenai stood at the edge of the canyon and stared in shock at the ruined Takigakure below.
Biju is a double-edged sword for most Shinobi villages.
Good control will bring great power, and bad control will bring great hidden danger.
”Why did they even want to get Bija?..»
Rin, who was standing next to him, whispered softly.
Why is she here?
The reason for this is extremely simple.
She couldn't just watch Kurenai and Yeruashi go on a journey together...
What if they have children after they return?!
”No, I'm not.»
Yeruashi appeared next to Rin and shook his head, ” At that time, Takigakure really had the necessary qualifications and was able to control Biju. Then in their ranks was a very strong Shinobi named Kakuzu, who survived the attempted murder of Senju Hashirama.»
”Unfortunately, after returning to the village, he was punished for failing the mission to kill the First Hokage. As a result, he became a renegade and killed a large number of Shinobi during the escape, which led to a significant weakening of the village.»
In recent years, during the conquest of small Shinobi villages and countries, Konoha collected quite a lot of information about them, after combining with his own knowledge, Yeruashi began to understand the history of most small Shinobi villages quite well.
Kurenai looked at Yeruashi in surprise, ” Killing the First Hokage?»
”Yes...»
Yeruashi grinned, ”He also tried to kill me, but failed again, heh-heh-heh.»
Rin looked at Yeruashi in shock, ” Tried to kill you?! But if this Shinobi lived back in the days of the First Hokage, his age should be...»
”Ah, he had some minor means to prolong life, a few hearts...»
Yeruashi casually explained Kakuzu's abilities in a few words and jumped down, landing in front of the destroyed Takigakure.
The Shinobi have already detected the presence of Yeruashi, Rin, and Kurenai. Seeing the falling Yeruashi, many Shinobi took a deep breath and immediately approached him.
”Lord Hokage...»
Shinobi's views were still quite complex.
Initially, they belonged to a full-fledged Shinobi village, but now, in fact, it is still a daughter village of Konoha. Although it seems that they joined voluntarily, but in fact, they did not have the opportunity to avoid the fate of being absorbed by Konoha.
But that's not bad either.
They will no longer have to worry about external enemies, because Konoha is unquestionably the strongest of the Great Villages.
Even...
The picture of the five Great Villages is already beginning to become a relic of the past.
According to a huge number of Shinobi, the picture of the world has already completely changed, now Konoha stands at the top, surpassing the other Great Villages.
