Chapter 434 Challenge

"The client?" Zhiba Haiyan pointed to the lowered bamboo basket and couldn't help but test it: "Does the client have to sit here if he wants to entrust a task?"

"Of course!" Mizuno Ryu said matter-of-factly: "This is the only road in our Takigakure Village!"

Shiba Haiyan stared at Mizuno Ryu, but didn't notice anything strange.

The secret waterway of Takigakure Village must be as secret as the Water of Heroes and the Earth's Resentment. It is normal not to mention Mizuno Ryu, but Mizuno Ryu's reaction is too normal, not like a 10-year-old child at all.

This kid has the qualifications to be an elite jounin! If nothing unexpected happens, Kakugi is certain that Mizuno Ryu will become the pillar supporting Takigakure Village in the future.

The development model of Takigakure Village is also very clear. It is self-reliance on the top of the mountain and accepting entrusted tasks. As for the business, I am afraid that except for the village's own production and sales, there is no such thing.

No outside merchant can bring goods to Takigakure Village to sell.

It is really a closed and stable village.

Shiba Haiyan followed the Mizuno stream and climbed up the bamboo basket. After reaching the top of the mountain, what he saw was a huge tree. It would take hundreds of people to hug it. It was hundreds of meters high. The tree was surrounded by crystal green. of water pool.

Inside this tree, the secret treasure of Takigakure Village, the Heroic Water, is sealed.

The buildings in Takigakure are spread out around this tree. Along the pond are rows of paddy fields and rice fields. Many civilians are working in the fields, and children are chasing flocks of ducks.

What a quiet and peaceful paradise.

The reason why Takigakure Village is not famous was also found.

During the Ninja War, the high-ranking officials of Takigakure Village's brainstorming faction, Kakuzu, assassinated Senju Hashirama, which led to a series of subsequent events that greatly damaged the strength of Takigakure Village. The terrain where the village is located also played an important role.

For such a closed, self-sufficient village, with three great killer weapons, including Heroic Water, Earthly Resentment Yu (not sure if it is lost), and Nanao, it is too easy to rest on its laurels.

The village of Takigakure also accepted the commission from its own country of Taki. After eating and drinking, it was done, and it was a happy life with a wife and children on the hot bed.

"This place is really beautiful!" Shiba Haiyan praised the scenery of Takigakure Village.

"Really? Although I have never been to other ninja villages, I think Takigakure Village is definitely the most beautiful! By the way, this is my friend Hua Yan. Let's go. I'll take you to see the leader!"

Mizuno Ryu laughed loudly, briefly introduced the Taki nin who pulled them up, and left with Shiba Haiyan in a hurry.

Shiba Haiyan is familiar with the name Kegon. He remembers that he was one of the Takigakure village jounin who protected the Seven-tailed Jinchuurifu when he took the chuunin exam.

Hua Yan is only twelve or thirteen years old now, and his strength is B, which is already very good. No wonder he later became a jounin.

Takigakure Village also has some talents.

......

Mizuno Ryu took Shiba Haiyan to a two-story building. The large Chinese character "aki" was written on the plaque in front of the door.

"This is our leader's office building!" Mizuno introduced with a smile, then pushed the door open and shouted: "Chief, I'm here with the swordsman!"

Shiba Haiyan did not follow Mizuno Ryu and go in directly. Instead, he waited quietly outside. After some sensing, he found only two or three chakras hidden around him. As for the office building, only the leader of Takigakure Village checked it out. Carat, there's not even a gatekeeper.

Zhiba Haiyan was a little surprised, but he quickly figured it out.

This is probably due to the absolute confidence in the village's defense. In addition, there are almost no outsiders coming to the village, so naturally there is no need to set up guards.

Even the Taki nin who was hiding aside was probably on standby to facilitate the village leader to pass orders.

"Chief, this is the swordsman who comes to challenge you...Hey, where is the person?"

Mizuno Ryu started shouting as soon as he entered the door, and was dumbfounded when he introduced the guests.

"Liu, you are so rude, why don't you invite the guests in?" Leader Takigakure, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, held his forehead.

Leader Takigakure is wearing a blue robe. He looks about fifty years old. He has a very strong figure and looks smart and capable.

"Ah! Mr. Shiba, please come in!" Mizuno Ryu hurriedly shouted out the door, and Shiba Haiyan walked in after hearing the words.

"Sorry, when I first arrived in your place, I instinctively waited outside for the leader's communication. Please forgive me." Shiba Haiyan bowed slightly, keeping his posture very low.

"This is Mr. Shiba Haiyan who came to challenge the leader!" Mizuno Ryu introduced at the side.

"Hahaha! No need to be formal, Mr. Shiba!" The leader laughed loudly: "I am Takima, the leader of Takiyin Village. As you can see, there are few outsiders in our village, so there are not so many rules. Usually Clients all come directly to my place, hahaha!”

"You're welcome." Shiba Haiyan said a few polite words, and then said with a serious face: "I came here this time to see clearly the gap between myself and the strong ninjas, and I also ask the leader to give me some advice."

"Don't you need a break, Mr. Shiba?" Takima asked thoughtfully.

"Need not."

"Well, come with me!"

The two came out of the office building and walked straight to a pool. Takima chuckled and took off his robe and threw it to Mizuno Ryu, revealing a short ninja outfit and a kunai in his hand.

Under systematic investigation, Takima's combat power reached A+, making him a standard elite jounin!

Shiba Haiyan speculated that after Takima drank the hero water, he might even step into the threshold of the shadow level!

This Takigakure Village really has something special.

"Start!" Mizuno Ryu stood aside and shouted excitedly.

"Please enlighten me!" Shiba Haiyan quickly pulled out the Fukuoka Ichimonji and slashed at Takima quickly.

"Keng!"

Shiba Haiyan's sword was very fast, but Takima's kunai was still accurately caught. In an instant, the two of them slashed each other more than a dozen times.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, Takima's kunai stopped, and Takima calmly formed a seal with one hand, the next second.

"Shh!"

Shiba Haiyan slashed the air with his sword, and Takima directly used the teleportation technique to distance himself, and another kunai appeared in his hand.

"Cover chakra on the blade? I see, you have good chakra, Mr. Shiba." Takima glanced at Shiba Haiyan in amazement, and rushed forward again.

Takima has seen many samurai who can cover their swords with chakra, but this is indeed the first time that Takima has encountered a samurai who can cut off his kunai that is also covered with chakra.

Seeing the hunting spirit, Takima decided to use less force.

"Cang! Cang!"

Takima's speed suddenly increased, and Shiba Haiyan's pressure suddenly increased dramatically.

As the two men fought fiercely, the villagers working nearby and the Taki-nin passing by all came over.
