"Father, I remember that you have been to Amegakure. Have you met Hanzo of the Salamander, the current leader of Amegakure? I heard that he is a very powerful person!"
Next to the campfire.
Hearing that Mingyue Takenaka was interested in Hanzo of the Salamander, Takenaka Kaguya's face showed a trace of memories, and Dangzhi smiled and said, "Hanzo of the Salamander? I've seen him before. When I first met him, I felt that he was a very special young man with good strength."
Upon hearing this, before Takenaka Kaguya finished speaking, Mingyue Takenaka was surprised and said, "Father, even if Konohagakure's Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, father, you didn't give a good evaluation of his strength. I didn't expect that you would give such a evaluation to a little Amegakure leader. It seems that you think highly of him!
If there is a chance, my daughter would also like to meet this Hanzo of the Salamander. After all, among Shinobi World today, there are not many people who can be evaluated like this by your father!"
Mingyue Takenaka clearly knows how high the vision of his own Pops is. From his mouth, Mingyue Takenaka often hears about many Ninja who are famous as Shinobi World.
For example, Chiyo and Ebizo of Sunagakure, Iwagakure Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, Roshi and Chinese, Third Raikage Ay of Kumogakure, and Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of Kirigakure, etc.
As for Konohagakure, since the death of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, there is no descendant who can catch her Pops's eyes.
Unexpectedly, a little-known leader of Amegakure and his own Pops would actually give such an evaluation as having good strength, which is really rare.
On the side, after hearing Mingyue Takenaka's words, Takenaka Kaguya smiled and said, "Hanzo of the Salamander, speaking of it, can be regarded as Ninja who truly rose from humble beginnings. My father once knew his experience.
His original name was Hanzo. He was called Ibuse because many years ago, a highly poisonous black Ibuse appeared in Amegakure. After the black Ibuse died, the poison sac was implanted in his body, hence the name Hanzo of the Salamander.
However, whenever he breathes, the people around him will inhale poisonous gas, so everyone around him is afraid of the young Hanzo.
Later, in order not to disturb others, he put on a mask and breathed through his mouth instead. He would not take off the mask easily.
Although Hanzo like this is scary, it can give him an advantage in battle. The toxin of Ibuse is very toxic. As long as it is inhaled into the body, ordinary people have basically no chance of survival.
From then on, Hanzo became stronger and stronger, and in just a few years, he gained a great reputation in Land of Rain. With the death of the previous Kirigakure leader, Hanzo, who has both strength and prestige, naturally became the new generation leader of Kirigakure."
Having said this, looking at the look of admiration in his daughter's eyes, Takenaka Kaguya took a bite of meat and then continued, "If Ninja, who is now famous among Shinobi World, is ranked in terms of future strength, among their generation, Hanzo is basically firmly ranked in the top three."
"He is really a powerful person. You must meet him if you have the chance." Mingyue Takenaka nodded and said.
She had no doubts about her Pops's words. After all, over the years, almost nothing her Pops said had not come true.
"Haha, actually, Hanzo of the Salamander, you should have seen it. At your grandfather's funeral, the man wearing a mask and carrying a chain sickle on his back was Hanzo!" Takenaka Kaguya explained with a smile.
At Ashina Uzumaki's funeral that year, Ninja, who was basically famous in the Jonin world, came, and Hanzo of the Salamander also came with people.
This is also the reason why Takenaka Kaguya directly used Conqueror's Haki to shake away the thick black clouds, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Of course, his initial intimidation did have a good effect. In recent years, Uzushiogakure Ninja has gone out to perform missions, and the casualty rate has been less than 1%.
Except for some wandering Ninja who are ill-informed or have bad brains and will go against Uzushiogakure's Ninja, basically no one will go out of their way to cause trouble.
"Ah? So Hanzo has been to our village? I forgot." Mingyue Takenaka was a little surprised, but also felt pity.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Judging from the messages I received, Hanzo is not a law-abiding person. I think you will be able to hear his Daimyo in a few years.
At that time, if you still want to see him, then go and see him!" Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
"Well, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
The group ate, took a brief rest, and then continued on their way.
One day later, just after returning to Uzushiogakure, Takenaka Kaguya went home and met with Kagura Uzumaki and Yuko Kaguya. After chatting for a while, Chen Long came to ask him to handle matters.
Uzushiogakure, Leader's Office.
Takenaka Kaguya listened silently to Chen Long's report, and also commented on his handling method.
I can only say that Chen Long's ability to handle affairs is indeed very good, and he basically agrees with his ideas.
Suddenly, Takenaka Kaguya picked up a notebook, and after seeing the contents inside, a strange look appeared on his face.
"Chief, what you are holding in your hand is Hoshigakure from Land of Bears. Leader, no, it should be called "Hoshikage" Beixing. He wants to visit us.
You were at Konoha at that time, and my subordinates thought that Chunin Joint Exams would not be here for long, so they asked the messenger who came to deliver the message to wait a little longer. Now this man is still living in our village." Chen Long explained with a smile. When the word Hoshikage was mentioned, the helplessness on Chen Long's face could not be concealed.
In response, Takenaka Kaguya took one look and immediately understood why Chen Long had such an attitude towards the word Hoshikage.
Normally, the title of Shadow can only be held by the leader of Five Great Shinobi Villages, while the rest of the hidden villages are called leaders.
However, Hoshigakure, a small hidden village whose name many people have never heard of, dares to use the name Shadow. In the eyes of others, it is really ridiculous.
Takenaka Kaguya did not speak, but was recalling the information about Hoshigakure in his mind.
"If I remember correctly, this Hoshigakure should have relied on an extraterrestrial meteorite to speed up his cultivation. The most famous one is the Mysterious Peacock Method cultivation method." Takenaka Kaguya thought to himself.
Thinking of this, he nodded, then opened the book and read the contents recorded above carefully.
The meaning of Hoshigakure Third Beixing is that he once came to Uzushiogakure and saw that Uzushiogakure is developing so fast and getting better and better, so he also wanted to come and learn.
Of course, Beixing also knows that Uzushiogakure may not be willing to pay attention to him, so he is willing to let Takenaka Kaguya go to Hoshigakure to study the "star" that their village relies on for survival!
After reading, Takenaka Kaguya put down the book, looked at Chen Long and ordered, "Send someone to tell Hoshigakure's envoy that I agree to his conditions."
"Ah? Chief, Hoshigakure just saw that our Uzushiogakure is developing better and better now, so he came to learn from our experience.
As for their so-called "star", although we don't know why that "star" can accelerate cultivation, but in the more than a hundred years since Hoshigakure founded the village, they have never cultivated to Kage Level through this so-called "star"..." Chen Long was a little surprised and expressed his thoughts.
This is also the reason why he didn't send a message to Takenaka Kaguya. He really didn't like the so-called "star" of Hoshigakure.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I can understand your disdain for that extraterrestrial meteorite. However, on the contrary, I am still somewhat interested in the "star" Hoshigakure.
Just go tell the Hoshigakure messenger and say that I agree." Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand and said with a smile.
Regarding Hoshigakure, there was a plot in the original work of Hokage. The so-called star of Hoshigakure is a star that fell from the sky two hundred years ago. Meteorite, Ninja in the village will all practice around Meteor Fall, improving Ninja's reaction to Chakra in the body during practice.
And the name Hoshigakure comes from this.
What they are good at is "Mysterious Peacock Method", which can transform Chakra into various shapes to attack, even without the help of any psychic beasts or tools. It is the only ninjutsu among Shinobi World that can fly.
Unfortunately, using this meteorite to practice will have adverse side effects on the human body, and this side effect is also the reason why Chen Long looks down on this "star".
However, Takenaka Kaguya felt that Hoshigakure's meteorite was probably not simple. It was just that Hoshigakure's people didn't know how to count and had mistaken the direction of their research. They were only used to speed up their cultivation.
On the opposite side, seeing Takenaka Kaguya insisting, Chen Long could only nod in agreement.
Then, he handed the scroll in his hand to Takenaka Kaguya and said respectfully, "Sir, this is a message from Land of Iron, a young warrior named Mifune. According to the judgment of our intelligence personnel, warrior Mifune is likely to become Land of Iron's future general.
As for our Uzushiogakure and Land of Iron, if there is some trade exchange, do we need to establish a good relationship with each other in advance?"
When he heard the name Mifune, Takenaka Kaguya was startled for a moment, and then his mind came to mind that he had traveled to Shinobi World many years ago, and then Land of Iron met a little slug boy.
Not only that, at that time, the young Mifune was determined to become Land of Iron's most powerful warrior, so much so that Takenaka Kaguya wanted to teach him how to practice Chakra, so as to become an excellent Ninja, but the little guy refused.
"Haha, Mifune? Since it's a message from the Intelligence Department, it doesn't matter if you contact it in advance." Takenaka Kaguya chuckled and looked at Chen Long and said.
"Okay, my subordinate will make arrangements immediately."
After saying that, Chen Long bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out to arrange the things Takenaka Kaguya ordered.
After a while, Takenaka Kaguya was the only person left in the office, so he picked up the message scroll again and read it.
"Where there is a will, there is a way. I never thought that the slug boy back then would soon become Land of Iron's strongest warrior. Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye!" Takenaka Kaguya couldn't help but sigh.
He traveled to Shinobi World back then, basically visiting all Shinobi World countries, and also met Ninja, who was a little famous among Shinobi World at that time.
I just didn't expect that I would meet the young Mifune at Land of Iron, and eventually taught Mifune some simple Iai Slash moves, and before leaving, I personally made a samurai sword for Mifune, the same style as the Famous Sword Shusui he had been wearing.
Speaking of Mifune, although his appearance time in the original work of Hokage was not much, he portrayed this character very well and left a deep impression on people.
In his youth, Mifune was already the most powerful and strongest among the Land of Iron warriors.
In order to protect the country, he polished himself into the sharpest knife Land of Iron. Every time he swung the knife, he was pursuing his faith!
The sharp blade unsheathed and stirred up layers of ink, the blue blade not giving the opponent a chance to breathe.
At Second Shinobi World War, Mifune was defeated by Hanzo, who was at his peak strength. He was poisoned and thought he was a dull knife, but Hanzo understood his "faith" and gave him the antidote, so Mifune survived.
In the days that followed, Mifune worked hard and achieved extraordinary results. He was known as the "legendary master of Iai Slash". He charged forward with extremely high speed and amazing explosive power, drew his sword in an instant, and defeated the enemy with one blow!
Later, he served as the host in Five Kage Summit initiated by Shimura Danzō, and later in Fourth Shinobi World War, Mifune met He not only defeated Hanzo who was being attacked by Impure World Reincarnation, but also succeeded in sealing Hanzo in the end, which was regarded as revenge for the past, with a beginning and an end.
You know, Hanzo of the Salamander, who is known as a demigod, after being Impure World Reincarnation, although his strength is not as good as his peak in life, but with unlimited Chakra, his strength is also adequate Kage Level.
At that time, Mifune could defeat Hanzo of Kage Level, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Shaking his head and throwing away things that had not yet happened in the future, Takenaka Kaguya raised the corners of his mouth slightly and murmured to himself, "If you have a chance, you can see how far the slug has grown now!"
Three days later, Hoshigakure.
Land of Bears is located south of Uzushiogakure, and the distance is not too far. However, due to the slow sailing speed, it took nearly a day.
"Welcome, Lord Takenaka, we finally meet again."
Hoshigakure main entrance.
Seeing a very old man with all white hair holding his Teuchi so enthusiastically and greeting him, Takenaka Kaguya was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Nice to meet you!" Takenaka Kaguya replied with a smile, and then heard the Hoshigakure messenger next to him say, "Lord Takenaka, this is our Hoshigakure Lord Third Hoshikage Beixing."
After finishing his words, before Takenaka Kaguya could speak, Beixing quickly said humbly, "No, no, no, nothing is invisible in front of Lord Takenaka."
After that, Beixing looked at Takenaka Kaguya and said respectfully, "Hello Lord Takenaka, I am the village chief of Beixing, Hoshigakure. Just call me by my name."
It has to be said that Beixing's attitude made Takenaka Kaguya feel embarrassed to forcefully take Hoshigakure's meteorite away for study.
"Haha, I'd better call you Beixing senior." Takenaka Kaguya chuckled.
He has always respected me as much as I respect others. This Beixing is so knowledgeable, so naturally Takenaka Kaguya can't help but give others a good look.
"Hahaha, everything is fine, Lord Takenaka, please come inside. I heard that you are coming, so I have specially prepared some food and wine. Let's go inside and eat and talk, how about it?"
