In the past, Ninja were not involved in production, and the so-called Daimyo ruling class cared more about their own enjoyment and interests.
Therefore, in the Ninja World, there are still many places that have not been developed at all.
Even if people lived there, only a small area near the settlement was cultivated by the local residents.
Take the current Land of Waterfalls as an example.
It was clearly a resource-rich nation, yet it had fallen into obscurity in the past, a place no one was interested in, even during the Ninja World Wars, because it was full of forests, miasma, and swamps.
But in Uchiha Yuzuru's eyes, all of these were invaluable Treasure Troves.
As long as they were properly developed according to the actual situation, they would surely bring huge profits to him and the entire Ninja World.
Kakuzu, who had long known Uchiha Yuzuru's intentions, once again revealed a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Developing the entire Ninja World... one could imagine the immense obstacles he would face, but Uchiha Yuzuru still did it without hesitation.
He was a truly selfless person.
He secretly made up his mind that if anyone opposed Uchiha Yuzuru in the future, he would dig out their heart and feed it to the dogs!
Led by Kakuzu, Uchiha Yuzuru and he quickly passed through the waterfall and arrived at the legendary Hidden Waterfall Village.
Similar to the outside, the Hidden Waterfall Village had beautiful scenery, with trees and flowing water everywhere.
In the northernmost part of the Village, there was also a huge lake and a towering giant tree that covered the sky, looking very impressive.
In contrast, the Hidden Waterfall Village seemed quite ordinary.
There were only a few hundred stone houses arranged together, and the estimated population would not exceed three thousand people.
"So many years have passed, and this place truly hasn't changed at all," Kakuzu couldn't help but sigh.
After so many years, returning to his hometown, who wouldn't be touched?
Uchiha Yuzuru said indifferently, "Remaining unchanged often means being complacent, which is not a good thing."
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu nodded, "That's right. Although the Hidden Waterfall Village's strength was not as good as the Five Great Ninja Villages back then, it was second only to them."
"At that time, the Hidden Waterfall Village, relying on its own strength, became the only Ninja Village capable of seizing a Tailed Beast from the Five Great Nations."
"And now... many people in the Ninja World no longer know of the Hidden Waterfall Village's existence."
Speaking of the former Hidden Waterfall Village, Kakuzu felt a bit melancholic.
The Hidden Waterfall Village turning into its current state, he didn't know if it was because the descendants of the Hidden Waterfall Village were too incompetent, or because he had killed all the high-ranking officials and stolen the Jiongu...
While the two were chatting, the Ninja of the Hidden Waterfall Village had already discovered their presence.
Two Ninja from the Hidden Waterfall Village appeared before Uchiha Yuzuru and Kakuzu, asking in a deep voice, "Who are you two, and what is your purpose in trespassing into our Hidden Waterfall Village?!"
Looking at the two young Ninja, Uchiha Yuzuru remained silent, while Kakuzu took a step forward, "Go tell your current leader that Kakuzu, the Rogue Ninja of the Hidden Waterfall Village, has returned."
"Kakuzu?!"
Upon hearing Kakuzu's name, the expressions of the two Hidden Waterfall Village Ninja changed drastically.
As a Ninja of the Hidden Waterfall Village, Kakuzu was almost universally known and recognized.
All Ninja of the Hidden Waterfall Village considered killing Kakuzu and reclaiming the secret technique Jiongu as their ultimate goal.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually dared to appear here!
"He's not someone we can deal with, retreat quickly!"
The two Hidden Waterfall Village Ninja fired a flare, then quickly fled backward.
"Such kids..." Kakuzu shook his head, amused.
He had no interest in dealing with such worthless kids.
Just a moment later, over a hundred Ninja appeared in a dense crowd ahead.
Each of them had a solemn expression on their face, tightly gripping their weapons.
The leader was a man who looked relatively young, but his gaze was firm.
After arriving in front of Kakuzu and Uchiha Yuzuru, the man spoke in a deep voice, "I am Shinji, the current leader of the Hidden Waterfall Village."
"Kakuzu, tell us your purpose this time."
"If you hand over the Jiongu, I can promise to revoke your status as a Rogue Ninja."
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu couldn't help but chuckle, then pointed to the Ninja headband on his forehead, "I'm sorry, I am now a Ninja of Kumogakure."
Shinji and the others then noticed that the headband on Kakuzu's forehead had already changed to a Kumogakure headband.
"You hateful bastard, did you give our Hidden Waterfall Village's secret technique to Kumogakure?"
"To survive, you're truly shameless, do you think you can show off in front of us just by clinging to Kumogakure's coattails?"
"Leader Shinji, there's nothing more to discuss, let's all go and kill him!"
Listening to the indignant roars of the crowd behind him, Shinji did not act impulsively.
Unlike ordinary Hidden Waterfall Village Ninja, as the leader, he was very clear about what was happening in the outside world.
Kumogakure could be said to be the strongest Ninja Village in the Ninja World right now.
Under Kumogakure's attack, the Land of Grass, the Land of Rain, the Land of Iron, the Land of Hot Springs... had all been occupied and ruled.
With the current strength of the Hidden Waterfall Village, going to war with Kumogakure would be like trying to smash a rock with an egg.
Thinking of this, Shinji spoke in a deep voice, "Since you are already a Ninja of Kumogakure, why have you come to the Hidden Waterfall Village again?"
"You shouldn't be so bored as to specifically come and see our reaction after knowing you joined Kumogakure, right?"
"Of course not." Kakuzu pointed to Uchiha Yuzuru beside him, "This is Lord Yuzuru, I am merely Lord Yuzuru's guard."
Upon hearing Kakuzu's words, Shinji's pupils suddenly constricted.
Yuzuru?
Uchiha Yuzuru?
If this young man in front of him was really Uchiha Yuzuru, then they were in big trouble!
"Lord Shinji, who is Yuzuru?"
"Even if Amaterasu comes, he won't be able to protect you today, I said it!"
"Lord Shinji, don't hesitate, quickly give the order to attack."
Seeing the eager crowd behind him, Shinji quickly stopped them, shouting, "All of you calm down, he is Uchiha Yuzuru!"
"You may not know, but there is a common rumor in the Ninja World right now: Yuzuru never plays low-level games."
"As long as he makes a move, he will definitely be able to easily destroy everything in his path."
"Back then, the four Great Nations, excluding the Land of Lightning, dispatched ten thousand Shinobi Alliance Ninja to attack Kumogakure, but Uchiha Yuzuru alone, with a single blade, slaughtered them almost to total annihilation."
"Do you want the entire Hidden Waterfall Village to be buried with your ignorance?"
After hearing Shinji's reprimand, the Hidden Waterfall Village Ninja immediately quieted down.
One person defeating ten thousand Shinobi Alliance Ninja?
Is it true or false?
