The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 201 Takigakure Village

After resting for two days, Qin Ye and Kakuzu embarked on a journey to capture the tailed beasts.

The first place to go is the Land of Water Trap, which is not far from the Land of Rain, with only the Land of Grass separating the two.

There are a total of nine tailed beasts in the ninja world, which were distributed to various countries by the former God of the Ninja World, the first Hokage "Hashirama Senju" as an anchor of peace.

Hashirama Senju experienced the Warring States Period and witnessed the endless wars caused by the "imbalance of power", such as the century-long dispute between the Senju family and the Uchiha family.

Originally, other countries were not qualified to control the tailed beasts, but Hashirama Senju believed that a single country's monopoly on the tailed beasts was equivalent to the fuse of war. If Konoha monopolized the nine tailed beasts, other countries would inevitably unite to fight in order to survive, repeating the mistakes of the Warring States Period.

Dispersing the tailed beasts is equivalent to establishing a deterrent balance, where all countries have equal strategic deterrent power, forming a "nuclear deterrent" type of peace. Attacking other countries means enduring retaliation from the tailed beasts, thus curbing aggressive ambitions.

Therefore, the distribution of the tailed beasts was a political experiment conducted by Hashirama Senju using "balance of power" as a means and "trust and symbiosis" as a goal, forcing countries to find a way to coexist between fear and interests.

It has to be said that, putting his strength aside, Hashirama Senju is an out-and-out idealist, with completely different ideas from Uchiha Madara, who founded Konoha with him.

Hashirama Senju's philosophy is the "feudal system", where everyone lives their own life and no one provokes anyone else, seeking peace.

However, if he could follow Uchiha Madara's system of great unification, and the two of them could make Susanoo, then the ninja world would have been at peace long ago.

Where there are differences there will be conflicts, let alone between different countries. If we want to achieve true peace, there is only one way: great unification.

Let’s put these aside for now. Excluding the five major countries, the fact that Taki Country, as a small country, was able to get a tailed beast shows its national strength.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that this country once sent people to assassinate Hashirama Senju, the God of the Ninja World. This crazy act is not something that other small countries would dare to do.

Later, when the Takigakure Village was questioned at the Ninja World Conference, their village chief said with shaking legs: We just wanted to try and see if the neck of the man who was said to be able to catch the Tailed Beast Ball with his bare hands could really not be cut off.

It was this somewhat crazy madness that allowed Takigakure Village to keep the Seven-Tails hidden for decades under the noses of the five major countries.

The person who went to assassinate Hashirama Senju was Kakuzu, a former member of the Takigakure assassination team and now a traitor.
Not to mention throwing a kunai from 800 meters away, he was really going to assassinate.

Taki Country, border.

Qin Ye and Jiao Du, wearing auspicious cloud robes and conical hats, set foot on this land.

When revisiting the old place, Kakuzu did not show much emotion, but just kept muttering that he wanted to replenish his heart.

It can be seen that he was deeply hurt by the village...

Sent to die, and when he returned he was ostracized by the villagers and suppressed by the upper class. The five Kakuzus were deeply hurt.

"Kakuzu, who is the Jinchūriki of your village?" Qin Ye's voice came out from under the bamboo hat.

"I don't know." Kakuzu shook his head slightly: "I left the village a long time ago. The previous generation of Jinchūriki should have died long ago."

"Are there many people in Takigakure?"

"Compared to other big countries, it's naturally not much. Why?"

Qin Ye raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Why not just kill them all? It will be more efficient. Then the Jinchūriki will appear on their own."

Hearing this, Kakuzu stopped and his cloudy green eyes fell on Qin Ye, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He snorted and chuckled, "Although the Takigakure Village doesn't have many people, it's not that easy to deal with. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to keep the tailed beasts between the big countries. I acknowledge your strength, but if you want to destroy the Takigakure Village, did you sleep well last night?"

The two had a friendly PK during the break.

The ending was of course no surprise, Kakuzu was defeated miserably, and if Qin Ye had not held back, Kakuzu would not have been able to save his remaining four hearts.

Kakuzu acknowledged Qin Ye's strength, but that didn't mean the two of them could destroy Takigakure. "Head-on combat is difficult, but you're no stranger to assassinations, right?" Qin Ye glanced at Kakuzu. "As a traitor, do you still have feelings for Takigakure?"

Hearing this, Kakuzu snorted coldly: "Kill them all if you want. If you are surrounded by enemies, don't expect me to save you."

Qin Ye chuckled and nodded without saying anything.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Takigakure Village.

This is a ninja village located in the mountains and forests. It is very small, even smaller than the Uchiha clan's territory in Konoha Village.

At this time, two Takigakure ninjas were walking on the dim road, talking about the recent events between the various ninja villages.

"No matter how turbulent the situation outside is, as long as we don't get involved, who would dare to provoke us, Takigakure?"

"That's right, it was a wise choice for our ancestors to strive for a tailed beast. With a tailed beast here, no one dares to mess with us."

As the two were talking, a dark shadow quietly disappeared under their feet.

The head of one of them fell to the ground like a broken branch. The other one, who was still talking, suddenly felt some tenderness on his face. He reached out to touch it and it was wet and smooth.

He turned his head and saw a headless corpse standing there. The head of the companion who had just been talking to him had disappeared without a trace.

Terror slowly appeared on his face, and just as he was about to scream, shadows wrapped around his mouth, body and limbs.

Bringing the captives back to the hiding place, Qin Ye's cold words rang in the ears of the Takigakure ninja.

"Dare to shout, die. Refuse to answer questions, die."

After he finished speaking, the shadow line that sealed Takigakure's mouth was removed. He looked at the two figures wearing bamboo hats in front of him in horror and said tremblingly:
"Who are you?"

"I ask, you answer." Qin Ye said, "Is the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in the village?"

Hearing this, Takigakure Ninja suddenly became excited:
"So you guys wanted to steal our tailed beasts. You're really not afraid of death. I don't know how many of them have died, yet you still dare to come? If you have the guts, just kill me. I won't tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that he couldn't breathe and his body strength was rapidly declining.

After shaking off the blood on the knife, Qin Ye turned his head to look at Kakuzu beside him and said calmly, "You Takigakure are quite tough. It seems that we have to find it ourselves."

Kakuzu uttered a light "hmm" with a nasal tone, but didn't say anything else.

Next, the two of them acted separately and began to gradually erode the ninjas of Takigakure Village from the outside to the inside.

With the help of Shadow Escape, Qin Ye's assassination can be said to be silent. No matter whether it is a Genin, a Chunin, or a Jonin, they are all killed instantly without any resistance.

I didn't meet any of the masters that Kakuzu mentioned. It seems that Takigakure is a village that cannot be any smaller. Even if the ancestors can get a tailed beast, it will not change anything.

Just when Qin Ye was enjoying the harvest of the essence of life, a loud roar suddenly erupted in the distance.

The sound was extremely deafening in the quiet night, and the originally peaceful village suddenly became noisy.

"Did they find the Jinchūriki?"

Qin Ye thought so, moved his body, and rushed towards the source of the sound.
