Chapter 498 Yuyin’s new master
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on the top of Takima's head.
Although Umino Kaku's strength cannot be underestimated due to his reputation as a famous tree, Takima, who has never seen Kaku's true strength, still believes that he can resist with the help of the village's heroic water.
But now, Takima, the only one who knows the location of the Hero's Water, is in the illusion space.
This scene is so similar to when Kakuzu attacked and Takima was trapped by Kakuzu's genjutsu!
Last time, Kakugi took action and defeated Kakuzu and saved Takigakure Village. But this time!
Takuma has fallen into Kakubuki's illusion. Once Kakubuki turns against him, Takuma will be at a huge disadvantage. It is not an exaggeration to say that life and death are controlled by Kakugaki's hands!
Is there anyone else who can deal with Kakugi for Takima this time?
Even if Kazuoki doesn't take action this time, the fact that Kazuoki knows the secret waterway of Takigakure Village means that Konoha has already grasped Takigakure's lifeline. If he refuses...
Kakugi reveals Shiba Haiyan's identity, which is clearly an implicit warning!
At this time, Kakugi looked at Takima's smile. In Takima's opinion, it was already extremely ferocious!
"Um..." Takima struggled to find the words. Just when he didn't know how to speak, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Takima returned to his familiar office again.
Kadomu in front of him still maintained the posture of sitting opposite each other before, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
"Leader Takima, don't be too busy refusing. This time we hold the Chunin Exam in Konoha, you can go to Konoha to see it in person and enhance our understanding. At that time, you can make a decision. Okay?"
"Even if Chief Takima still insists on his position, we have also enhanced our friendship through exchanges and communication. This is of no harm, isn't it?"
Seeing Kadomu's sincere and kind smile, Takima quickly calmed down, collected himself, and nodded.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to my trip to Konoha soon."

After leaving Takigakure Village, Kakugi went directly to the Country of Rain.
I haven’t been to the Country of Rain for many years, and the Country of Rain is still the same.
The continuous drizzle, the sparsely populated villages and towns, and the deserted and muddy country roads.
However, the public security has improved quite a bit, and the people of the Rain Country are no longer so numb and precarious, and there seems to be a little more life in their eyes.
Kadomu kept this difference in mind and rushed all the way to Yuyin Village.
As expected, Kazuoki was stopped outside the village. The three Amegakure ninjas politely but resolutely refused Kazuoki's request to enter the village, and instead asked Kazuoki to wait outside the village.
Not long after, an Amegakure ninja arrived and handed a letter to Kazuoki, saying that Master Sanshouyu agreed to send Amegakure ninjas to participate in Konoha's chunin exams, but he would not go to watch the finals to cause trouble to Konoha. .
That letter was given to the Hokage by Mr. Sanshoyu, who asked Kakuaki to deliver it to him.
Then the Amegakure shinobi from outside the village politely "sent off" Kakuaki with smiling faces, and repeatedly expressed their apologies that Mr. Sanshoyu had contracted an infectious disease and it was inconvenient to see guests.
Seeing this group of rain ninjas who were dressed slightly differently from the previous rain ninjas, Kadaki didn't dwell on the rain ninja's lack of hospitality and left directly.
From beginning to end, Kadomu seems to be just acting as a messenger.
But the information Kadaki wanted to get was already in hand.
Kakugi is sure that Sanshouyu Hanzo is dead.
Perhaps the time of death of Sansho Hanzo in the original work was later, but judging from the news that Kakugi has received now, Sansho Hanzo is gone.
From the changes in the atmosphere of the Land of Rain, the changes in the people, to the occlusion of the Rain Hidden Village without regard for hospitality, and the disrespectful behavior of the Rain ninjas who blocked Kakuiki towards Sansho Hanzo, it all shows that Rain Hidden The village has changed owners.
It's just that the new owner of Yuyin Village seems to be still accumulating strength, so he still uses the name Sanshouyu Hanzo to the outside world.
As for who the new master is, there is almost no suspense, and it must be Nagato.
There are still about three years left before Shippuden, and Nagato's Akatsuki should still be in the stage of accumulating strength and gathering intelligence.
Therefore, Nagato did not want to be too high-profile, and it was estimated that he was sent to Konoha to take the Chunin Exam this time just perfunctorily.
But Kadomu doesn't care about this. He came to Yuyin Village this time just to test.
After confirming the current situation of Yuyin Village, the next plan can be started.
.......
After the matter was settled, Kakugi got up and returned to Konoha.
When reporting to Minato, he learned that while Kazuoki was out, Minato had already sent someone to negotiate the invitation for Sunagakure and Kusagakure to take part in the Chunin Exam.
As for other ninja villages, Konoha simply did not invite them, which is reasonable.
Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Kirigakure are not allies with Konoha, they just signed an armistice agreement.
More than ten years have passed since the Third World War. The new generation born after the war in Konoha will all take the Chunin Examination this year. It is estimated that in a few years, the major ninja villages that have recovered their strength will be ready to move again.
If it hadn't been for the Akatsuki organization that emerged from the ninja world when Shippuden opened in the original book to act as a common enemy, there might have been another war between the five major powers.
Thinking of this, Kakugi felt that his idea of unifying the shinobi world was on the right path.
The first step of the plan is already in place, and the next step is to wait and see how things develop.
There is also rare leisure time.
Kazuoki had promised to be Naruto's instructor, and Minato would not let Kazuoki run away no matter what he said.
As for Kakashi...it would be nice to continue being his ANBU captain.

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.
A Sand Ninja gently pushed open the door of Kazekage's office and said, "Lord Kazekage, the envoy from Otogakure Village wants to see you."
"Invite him in." Luo Sha, who had already prepared, sat on the chair and said.
Even before this visit, Rasha had received news from Otogakure requesting a visit. Even as a Kazekage, Rasa was very curious about Otogakure, a new ninja village.
In order to maintain a certain sense of mystery, Luo Sha also specially put on Feng Ying's royal robe and put on a face towel unique to the Kingdom of Wind to cover her face.
For this reason, Luo Sha was laughed at by Ye Cang for a while.
Nowadays, Luo Sha is staying in the office with leisure time, waiting for the envoy from Yinyin Village to ask for an audience.
There must be the necessary respect for Otogakure, a new ninja village, but it must also show its reputation as one of the five major villages in Sunagakure.
The leading Suna ninja responded, and while exiting the office, he turned sideways, revealing a tall and thin ninja behind him.
The ninja had shoulder-length hair and a slightly pale face, and wore an eighth-note forehead protector. He walked in calmly and showed no signs of nervousness at all.
This made Luo Sha even more surprised.
