[Liyuan, wait! I will show you how powerful I am. You will never guess what I have learned recently!] Naruto excitedly sent a private message to Guan Liyuan.

Haha, I guess it is the "Summoning Technique"!

Combining Naruto's tone, Guan Liyuan has already guessed that he must have met Jiraiya and is about to learn the "Summoning Technique" that he has used, so he has a tone of "I am super cool"...

[Okay, then I'll wait for your surprise.] Guan Liyuan did not spoil his fun and expose him.

A few days ago, Naruto sent a private message to tell him about his written test...

Speaking of which, if you use the private message function of the forum to cheat, even Morino Ibiki will definitely be at a loss, but unfortunately, Guan Liyuan can't answer any of the questions in it!

As for the last question...

Sure enough, in that situation, if there is someone to discuss with, people will instinctively develop a sense of dependence!

Even Naruto came to discuss with Guan Liyuan and asked him whether he should give up at this time.

Guan Liyuan had originally used the name of psychological analysis to prove that this question must be a fraud, but before sending a private message, he deleted the answer and only replied to Naruto: [When you are at a loss, think back to your origin as a ninja! ]

[Why do I feel that this is the signature of "Eight Killings God of Cookery"? ]

(The actual source of this sentence is a sentence from A Fei in the Chinese Cooking Master Boy, and the original words are "chef"... As for who the "Eight Killings God of Cookery" is? I strongly recommend Dongdong's completed old book "Food Wars: The Fake Cooking Master"~!)

This test of Ibiki was a very important tempering of Naruto's will, and Guan Liyuan was unwilling to destroy it.

The final result, of course, was that he passed the exam safely. In the subsequent test of the Heaven and Earth Scroll, Naruto also sent a private message to Guan Liyuan and left a "suicide note"...

Although Naruto did not say what happened specifically, Guan Liyuan guessed that it was probably because he met Orochimaru!

Before Naruto learned the "Summoning Technique", Guan Liyuan and Bai had already arrived in the northern part of Taki Country. The Tozawa Group also breathed a sigh of relief. These two people and one dog (Kurouma:?), the three plague gods finally left.

And they were quite trustworthy. Apart from taking a ride on the ship, they did not do anything rude. When they met pirate ninjas in the sea area where the Land of Lightning and the Land of Iron met, they helped them...

After eight days, they set out from the border island of the Land of Water, went all the way north, bypassed the Land of Lightning and the Land of Iron, and finally arrived at the northern coastline of the Land of Taki Country in the northern part of the mainland. At this time, Guan Liyuan's time axis limit time had already passed half.

"Huh, it's really cold. There's no such cold place in the Land of Water and the Land of Waves, right? Bai, you... uh, it's okay." Guan Liyuan ended the topic with some embarrassment.

I wanted to care about Bai, but I thought that Bai was particularly sensitive about this aspect, and might think that Guan Liyuan was discriminating against sex, and more importantly... Bai's blood limit is ice escape! It doesn't make sense to be cold, right?

As for Kurama, he was ignored by Guan Liyuan.

Kurama is in a good mood now. Today he is in the four-tail state and on the way to the five-tail state...

Kurama in the four-tail state already has the strength of an elite jonin, and his explosive power and endurance are even stronger than those of an elite jonin. Guan Liyuan speculates that in Kurama's current state, the number of tails and the power he possesses should be similar to the ratio when Naruto receives the chakra of the tailed beasts and condenses the tails.

And Naruto in the four-tail state can fight back and forth with Orochimaru, whose hands are sealed. When Jiraiya tries not to hurt him and wants to subdue him, he will be seriously injured...

But he can only enjoy it for less than two days. In order to avoid the invalidation of the contract and seal, Guan Liyuan will summon it again before it reaches the six-tail state and return to the one-tail state.

"Is it really okay for us to cross all the way from the north of Taki Country to the south so brazenly?" Bai was a little skeptical about this.

In the ninja world, it is a sensitive move for ninjas from other forces to pass through the territory of other ninja forces, especially since Bai's identity is a traitor wanted by Kirigakure thanks to Zabuza, and Guan Liyuan is an illegal resident...

"Don't worry, Takigakure is very closed, and it should be in a period of time when the new leader has not succeeded and the old leader has died, so they won't have the energy to take care of other things." Guan Liyuan was very confident.

Bai was a little confused. Guan Liyuan was not as experienced as her in many aspects, but how could he know the situation of Takigakure as soon as he got off the boat?

You have to know that Takigakure and Wave Kingdom are located in the south and north of the continent, so Bai didn't know too much about Takigakure in advance...

But Bai knew that Takigakure was closed.

Because before on the ship, many sailors of the Tozawa Group also said that in Takigakure, Takigakure has little presence. Most of the domestic tasks are outsourced to Konoha Village, and some are contracted by the Taketori clan living in the southern part of Takigakure...

At this time, the Taketori clan is fighting with the Kusagakure Village in the Grass Country in the southwest of Takigakure, intending to seize the country!

"Since Takigakure is so weak, why does the Taketori clan want to seize the Kusagakure Village in the Grass Country? Is it to repay the favor of giving them the task?" Bai asked with some doubts.

Guan Liyuan felt that Bai's idea was a bit naive, and the expectation of the Taketori clan's integrity was too high!

"No, as far as I know, the entrance to Takigakure is covered by a giant waterfall, and... it is not very weak, and has a strong unconventional power!" Guan Liyuan said.

He was not sure that everything in the Naruto world was the same as the "plot" he knew, but generally speaking, it would not be wrong.

That is to say, the current Takigakure Village should be the only small ninja village with Jinchūriki outside of the five major ninja villages, and it also has the "Heroic Water" that can increase chakra. Kakuzu of the Akatsuki organization also comes from Takigakure Village. If it is said to be weak, it is absolutely unfair to it...

The first generation Hokage, Hashirama Senju, should not have caught all the tailed beasts. For example, the One-Tailed Shukaku of the Sand Village was originally owned by the Sand Ninjas, and the first generation Kazekage also used the opportunity of distributing the tailed beasts to ask for territory and other resources.

Takigakure Village is a small ninja village with Jinchūriki, and in the early days when the ninja village system was just established, Takigakure Village behaved extremely fiercely, because the Five Kage Conference excluded Takigakure Village and even dispatched the elite ninja Kakuzu to assassinate the first generation Hokage, who was called the "God of Ninjutsu"!

Of course, Kakuzu failed without a doubt, and facing the punishment from the village, Kakuzu exploded with resentment, stole the village's secret techniques, and killed several high-ranking members of the village...

As for the "Hero's Water" of Takigakure Village, it has the effect of increasing chakra, but at the cost of eroding life. After using the "Hero's Water" to expand wildly and even captured the tailed beasts, the ninjas of Takigakure Village gradually discovered the negative effects of the "Hero's Water", so they sealed it, and the entire village was isolated from the world, turning to guarding the seal of the "Hero's Water" as their responsibility.

This is also the fundamental reason why the strategic pattern of Takigakure has changed from the original "aggressive" to the current "harmless".

The handed down Nanao Shigeaki, in order to avoid being coveted by others, the Jinchūriki is often not in the village.

And now is the time when the old leader of Takigakure died not long after taking the "Hero's Water" because of the rebellion of Takigakure.

The son of the old leader is still in Konoha Village as a hostage. According to the plot in OVA, after the Chunin Exam and before Sasuke's defection, the new leader will be sent back by Kakashi's team...

Therefore, the Taketori clan would rather choose to capture the Grass Country as the fourth battlefield than to confront Takigakure. It is actually a very wise decision!

But it is only relatively wise. In Karin's memories in the animation, before being recruited by Orochimaru, the northern fortress of Kusagakure Village was completely taken by the Taketori Clan. But three years later, during the Hawk Squad period, Karin met the ninjas of Kusagakure Village again...

Guan Liyuan suspected that Kusagakure Village was likely to ask for help from Konoha after the defeat. Hyuga Kamon had also reminded him before that if the situation was too bad, Konoha might send troops. Although

the Hyuga Clan has a good relationship with the Taketori Clan, don't look at the former boasting that it is the strongest family in Konoha. In fact, it is very "soft". At most, it dissuaded the Konoha high-level from pursuing the victory.

From the ninjas of Kusagakure Village who participated in the Chunin Exam of the Konoha Alliance, although the guys of Kusagakure Village are completely morally corrupt scum in Guan Liyuan's eyes, they are Konoha's die-hard brothers...

The situation in the next two days also briefly proved Guan Liyuan's guess. There were no obstacles along the way, and the two people and a dog (Kurama:?) crossed the entire territory of Taki no Kuni.

Although in order to save time, the other party sternly refused to let Bai ride on it, but after Guan Liyuan suggested that "I hold Bai and ride you, it doesn't count as her riding you", they still arrived at the southwest bamboo trawler tribe's settlement area smoothly...

Will Bai be shy?

Just kidding, even if she was asked to hold Guan Liyuan, she wouldn't show any change in expression!
