Moonlight falls through the gaps in the leaves, casting a faint silver glow on the calm lake, adding a layer of fantasy to this idyllic village.

Kurayoshi showed his head on the surface of the lake, looked up at the big tree, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The Land of Fire is full of forests and big trees everywhere.

But it was the first time he had seen a tree of this size.

According to the anime story, every 100 years, the tree produces some chakra-enhancing sap in its body.

And the people of Takikure Village relied on these sap to survive several ninja wars, and there was still a large gourd of water left.

This tree has survived for at least hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years, maybe thousands of years.

"Let me see what you're all about!"

Kurayoshi swam to the land in the middle of the lake, came to the tree, and put his hand on it.

[Ding!] The special material "Divine Tree Remains" has been detected, and the special items "Divine Tree Crystal Remains" and "Potential Potion Bottles" can be forged, whether or not they are forged]

"It's the remains of a sacred tree!"

Kurayoshi's eyes widened slightly.

Back then, the Hamura and Kaguya fought each other, and the sacred tree sensed that Kaguya was in danger, so he turned into the Ten Tails to help.

After a great battle, many broken branches of the sacred tree flew to various parts of the world, constantly absorbing the natural energy of the earth, causing the land to dry up and lose its vitality.

The earth cannot grow plants, and those who are close to it will be drained of life and die early.

After the Great War, the Six Dao Immortals have been wandering the ninja world, looking for the remains of these sacred trees to solve them, and the ninja sect established after that has also insisted on an activity.

Asura Indra even took the lead in sweeping away the hard-to-dig wreckage.

Unexpectedly, after so many years of cleaning by the Ninja Sect, there was still a piece of wreckage that survived and grew into such a big tree.

But......

"Something is different."

Kurayoshi carefully touched the texture of the skin of the tree, and there was no feeling that life was being sucked in.

The people of Takikure Village who live on this big tree, and the surrounding natural resources and environment are more abundant than other places......

The tree does not rob the life and natural energy of the creatures around it.

It just grows naturally like any other plant, and at the same time feeds back into its surroundings with the water of life.

After this wreckage was separated from the body of the sacred tree, it underwent an anomaly.

"It's beneficial and harmless, no wonder it hasn't been cleared by the Ninja Sect, or rather......" Kurayoshi turned to look at the rows of wooden houses built on the shore, "Takikure Village, in fact, it was established by the descendants of a certain member of the Ninja Sect!" ”

This kind of hidden place, and the water of heroes that is born only once in a hundred years......

And the Ninja Village was established no more than 60 years ago......

Before the establishment of Takikuin Village, it was inhabited and familiar with everything here.

"I'm underestimating this village."

Kurayoshi smiled with relief and chose forging.

The roots of the tree vanished out of thin air, and Kurayoshi had two more things in his hands.

A thumb-sized, like a green crystal that has been gnawed by a dog.

A clear gourd bottle with water inside.

[Divine Tree Crystal Remains: Power crystals derived from the Divine Tree Remains, and when absorbed, you will gain the power of the Divine Tree Remnants]

"Potentity Vial: Contains a potion that can overdraw the potential of cells in advance, so that a person's physical strength, strength, speed, and chakra are all increased."

"It's an early overdraft and not an enhancement, tsk......"

Kurayoshi sneered twice.

He thought that the Divine Tree had changed its nature and began to benefit mankind and the world, but he didn't expect it......

It's just that it has changed from a blatant scourge to a secret scourge in secret.

If you guessed correctly, the reason why the resources in this vicinity are so abundant is only to overdraw the potential of the earth in advance.

When the earth's potential is almost exhausted, and the vitality of the surrounding natural energy and creatures reaches its peak, it is the time when the tree begins to harvest.

Gee......

changed from a hunter to a breeder, and also used this to conceal or deceive the people of the ninja sect......

It's really natural selection, and even a piece of tree wreckage knows how to be flexible.

However, although the truth is known.

Kurayoshi wasn't nosy.

Some people only focus on the immediate interests and do not see the future.

This tree is the capital on which Takikure Village depends.

Even if you know the truth......

If you help them get rid of the evil, they will not appreciate you, but they will hate you.

"Then I think about it, the next target is Fu."

Kurayoshi puts the detector back on.

In the countless chakra reactions, I found the signal that was slightly stronger than the rhino dog.

"Here."

Kurayoshi found his target in a wooden house on the shore inside.

The village is secluded, so there are no guards.

This kind of small ninja village, if the enemy discovers the location, even if the guards are planted, it is useless.

Plus at night, everyone is sleeping.

Therefore, Kurayoshi walked towards the house where his target was.

The door is locked.

But it doesn't matter.

The art of lockpicking is a ninjutsu taught at a ninja school.

Kurayoshi was very relaxed, and silently unlocked the door.

Gently push the door open.

The area of the cabin is only fifty or sixty square meters, and the layout inside is also very simple, only beds, tables and chairs, and wardrobes.

It looks like it's just a bedroom.

But......

As Kurayoshi entered the house, a kunai came from behind the door and pressed against his neck.

Then, there was a crisp, warning voice.

"Don't be presumptuous!"

Through the moonlight, Kurayoshi followed the sound and found that it was a girl with short blue-green hair, dark skin, and orange eyes.

It is the seven-tailed man pillar force "Fu".

Seeing the target, Kurayoshi was a little different.

In general, people who have experienced life-and-death battles will develop amazing intuition, and it is impossible not to detect an enemy in such a close position without being conscious.

And Kurayoshi didn't find Fu, because he didn't perceive the hostility at all.

Is this Vu's special ability, or is she not hostile to me per se?

Kurayoshi vaguely remembered that Shigeaki Seven Tails was good at camouflage and was the most cunning tailed beast.

As its human pillar power, Fu also has a lot of ninjutsu that are good at hiding.

Fu forced Kurayoshi into the house with kunai, then closed the door and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Kurayoshi glanced at her.

Teenage girl in a white corset and shorts with a fishnet-like section exposed......

Although the figure is not attractive, it also has a unique flavor.

"Speak quickly!"

Fu pressed again, and the kunai attached to her neck left a blood line on it.

"I don't want to disturb my fellow villagers, and I'm going to solve the problem alone...... Kurayoshi laughed and looked up at him, "Miss, you are so arrogant, but you will hurt yourself." ”

After saying that, the pitch-black eyes turned into scarlet blood pupils, and the three magatama slowly rotated inside.
