Chapter 129: Infiltrating the Land of Water Tak

The matter was basically resolved, and Naruto took Hinata back to the base. After being busy for so long, Naruto and Hinata looked a little tired. As soon as they returned to the base, they prepared to rest. The other Chunins also knew the situation and took care of their own affairs without disturbing Naruto and Hinata.

When Naruto woke up, it was already noon the next day. The first thing Naruto did was to check the seal. The power of the tailed beast increased again this time. It would be bad if it broke the seal. Fortunately, the situation was better than Naruto expected. Since practicing the secret technique, the power of the tailed beast was greatly suppressed, and there was no sign of breaking the seal. Naruto could basically confirm that there was no problem with the secret technique he practiced. It was worth it for Naruto to spend so much time practicing. This secret technique was indeed very powerful.

At this time, Hinata had gotten up before Naruto and was preparing lunch. After eating something casually, Naruto arranged for the other people to watch over the base, and took Hinata to find a quiet place to practice. For several days, Naruto tried his best to practice this secret technique, and fortunately, he had some results. However, it seemed that the difficulty increased as time went on, and the progress of practice became slower and slower. The surrounding base entered a rare tranquility, but Naruto knew that it would be impossible to maintain this state forever. This rare time was just right for him to do some of his own things.

Just in case, Naruto gave Hinata a seed. As soon as there is any problem, Hinata injects chakra and Naruto will know immediately. What made Naruto laugh and cry was that the Kusagakure people had been trying to find a way to bypass the base. However, during the time when Naruto was away, these people could be said to have made no progress. It seems that they were probably scared by Naruto last time and dared not contact the people of Konoha again. Naruto thought to himself: "If I don't find a way to help them, I don't know how long it will take them to get through. In this case, there is really no other way. I can only do it myself."

Without waiting for Kurenai to send out a distress signal, Naruto took the initiative to come to Kurenai's base. Seeing Naruto appear, Kurenai was a little surprised and said, "Black Thunder, I didn't expect you to have time to come here." Naruto said, "No, I always felt that something was wrong here during this period, so I came to take a look." Kurenai said, "Is it the enemy from last time?" Naruto nodded and said, "Although the enemy from last time escaped, it is obvious that they have a mission that needs to be completed. Now such a long time has passed, and they have not appeared. I suspect that they have other conspiracies."

Kurenai Yuhi and the others also thought that what Naruto said made sense. Kurenai Yuhi asked, "Then what should we do?" Naruto said, "When the enemy is waiting for an opportunity, we should take the initiative to attack." Kurenai Yuhi said, "We are short of manpower now. If we take the initiative to attack, it will be troublesome for the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity." Naruto created several clones and said, "I will leave the matter of the stronghold to my clones. Don't worry, even if they are just clones, they can't kill them easily." Out of trust in Naruto's ability, Kurenai Yuhi and the others nodded.

The crowd was divided into two teams and searched in two directions. Naruto deliberately let them deviate from the direction of the Kusa ninjas, thinking: "If they still can't get through like this, then they shouldn't be ninjas." These Kusa ninjas have been observing the movements of Kusa and others from a distance, but they have never found an opportunity. Seeing Kusa and others suddenly leave, they naturally seized this rare opportunity and passed through this gap. Naruto led everyone to "search in vain" and finally had to give up. Fortunately, there were no accidents in the stronghold during this period. Naruto said: "It seems that the enemy has probably given up the action, and there is no need to search anymore. However, you still need to strengthen your precautions. Now the entire ninja world is in turmoil, so it is better to be cautious."

After saying goodbye to Kurenai Yuhi and the others, Naruto immediately followed these Kusa ninjas. Even if they went through the Land of Fire, there was only one path to the Land of Water Trap. Since the Land of Water Trap had always been friendly with Konoha, there were no guards on this only path. These Kusa ninjas simply disguised themselves as merchants and travelers to get by, and Naruto followed them quietly.

No one knows where they got the information from. After entering the Land of Taki, they were able to go directly to the direction of Takigakure. But for the sake of disguise, they couldn't be too direct, and they still needed to take a detour in the middle. When they came to a big waterfall, the five of them stopped. They pretended to be resting and enjoying the scenery of the waterfall. Two of them quietly began to make hand seals. There were guards of Takigakure behind the waterfall, and they were unable to move without knowing it. The five people quickly jumped into the waterfall, and disappeared with a few puffs.

Naruto followed behind and thought to himself: "If I'm not mistaken, the entrance is behind this waterfall." Naruto first let the Kusanagi walk a distance, and then find an opportunity to enter the waterfall. There are not many ninjas in such a small ninja village. However, for the sake of caution, Naruto still entered the Sage Mode and sensed the location of other people around him at any time. He also used earth escape and wood escape to hide himself and quietly followed the five Kusanagi.

These people were also hiding in Takigakure, seemingly looking for something. Because of the insufficient number of ninjas, the guards at the gate were killed after a long time before they found out. When they arrived, they still couldn't break the Kusagakure's confinement technique. If it weren't for the fact that their ninja village was very hidden and there were almost no paths to enter, such a so-called ninja village would probably have ceased to exist long ago.

According to Naruto's idea, the Kusagakure must be coming for the Jinchuriki. When the ninja world is in turmoil, conflicts between villages continue. This also gives small countries like the Land of Grass an opportunity. They must want to open the legendary box again. Only by obtaining the powerful chakra of the tailed beasts can the box be opened. Once the box is opened, not only will the Kusagakure Village be able to gain a foothold in the troubled times, it may even be greatly expanded. It is for this reason that they took very active action.

Now the people of Takigakure finally found out that the guards had been killed, and the whole village fell into panic. Some of the brave ones began to look for traces of the enemy, while the timid ones tried to hide or escape. As the leader, Shibuki was still very young and timid, and he couldn't come up with an idea for a while. The shadow of the enemy's invasion loomed over this small ninja village, and the unknown was often the most terrifying.
