The bonfire party ended soon, and the villagers of Longyin Village cleaned up and dispersed one by one. The three of Naruto slept in the luxurious room prepared for them by the villagers of Longyin Village.

In the middle of the night, the entire Longyin Village fell into sleep, and suddenly a furtive figure appeared quietly, advancing quietly in the dark and uninhabited village.

The sneaky figure moved forward cautiously, and slowly touched the sacred tree in the center of the village. Just as he was about to climb up the sacred tree, a voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

"What are you doing?" In the middle of the night, in the silent Longyin Village, under the sacred tree.

Naruto's figure suddenly appeared next to the sacred tree, looking curiously at Shiki who was sneaking in front of him and said, "You still not sleeping at this late hour?"

The moment he heard Naruto's voice, Shiki felt his legs go limp, and he almost collapsed on the ground, apparently frightened.

"Hello." Naruto stretched out five fingers and shook in front of Shibuki who was so soft on the ground, "Are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine." Shemu's face was pale, and his lips trembled and said, "Can you give me some hints next time, the sudden appearance scared me to death, and I thought it was a ghost."

"There are no ghosts in this world." Naruto said with a smile, "Some are just scary people."

"Even if you say that, I'm still scared." Shemu stood up slowly while supporting the tree roots beside him, looked at Naruto who was sitting on the tree roots and said, "Aren't you asleep?"

"Well, I can't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk." Naruto looked at Shiki with a smile and said, "What about you?"

"I....I'm pretty much the same." Sheki said with a smile, "I can't sleep either, so come out for a walk."

"Oh." Naruto replied.

To be honest, Naruto didn't believe the nonsense about Shiki who couldn't sleep and come out to wander around. If he really couldn't sleep, as for being so sneaky, he almost passed out when he heard his own voice.

Naruto himself really couldn't sleep, the mystery of Long Yin Village lingered in his heart, and Kyuubi was annoying to eat in the house, so he ran out alone to cool off, but he didn't expect He happened to meet Shiki.

Sheki didn't say anything, and Naruto didn't ask, he was lying on the wide root of the sacred tree, with his hands behind his head, looking up at the big canopy above his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Naruto didn't speak, and Sheki didn't say anything, he supported the tree roots beside him, followed Naruto and stared at the canopy above his head in a daze.

Speaking of this sacred tree in Longyin Village, it is really interesting. Obviously there is no trace of wind blowing around, but the canopy on the top is rustling as if there is wind blowing.

The two of them remained silent under the canopy, Naruto didn't move, and Shemu didn't dare to move.

After an unknown amount of time, Shibuki suddenly took the initiative to speak.

"That.... Naruto-kun..." Shemu looked at the canopy above his head, a little afraid to look at Naruto's face, silently lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Do you think I'm useless? "

"It's useless? Why do you say that." Naruto turned his head and said, "I think you're fine."

"Don't comfort me, don't I know my own situation?" Shemu smiled bitterly and said, "Timid, cowardly, as a ninja, I can't even use a decent ninjutsu. Ninja is cornered, if it wasn't for you, Naruto, I guess I would have fallen into Shisha's hands long ago."

"I really don't think so. Strength is not the basis for judging whether a person is useful or not." Naruto shook his head seriously, then propped his elbows on the tree roots below, half straightened up and said, "I see that everyone in the village I quite believe in you, so you don't have to be so presumptuous."

"The leaders in that village were called heroes, and they believed it when they yelled." Shemu also let go at the moment, and simply sat down next to Naruto, staring at the sacred tree above his head and said : "I grew up in Takiyin Village since I was a child. I have never been to too far away, even the country of Taki. ninja."

"Hookah?" Naruto turned his head to look at Shiki in surprise and said, "Is the hookah your teacher?"

"Hmm..." Shemu smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I'm a useless disciple. After studying for a long time, I still don't know anything in the end."

"I remember when I was young, when my father was still there, Shisha teacher looked fierce, but he was actually pretty good." Shiki said with a nostalgic expression on his face: "I couldn't learn it when I was practicing, but Shisha teacher was very angry, saying when will I be able to learn the strongest ninjutsu in the village."

"It turns out that I really don't have talent." Speaking of this, Shibuki lowered his head sadly and said, "Let's not talk about the strongest ninjutsu, I can't even use a normal ninjutsu well."

"Speaking of which, when the people in the village chose me as the leader, I was really a little scared, and I didn't really want to be the leader." Shimu said sadly: "I even wanted to give up the leader's position to Mr. Shisha After all, his strength is much stronger than mine, and his personality is stronger, but he remembered my dead father later and didn't want to go against his last wish, so he took over the position of leader."

"The hookah..." Hearing Shiki's confession, Naruto hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "Why do you want to betray?"

"For the Hero's Water." Shimu shrugged and said, "The Hero's Water has been controlled by the leader of Takiyin Village for generations, and only the leader knows where the Hero's Water is. I think he may feel that waiting After my father leaves office, he will become the leader of Takiyin Village, so he kept pretending, and later found out that I became the leader, so he lost his mentality and directly rebelled."

Naruto listened to Shiki's words, although the other party's analysis sounded very reasonable and logical, but Naruto always felt that something was weird.

Because Shiki's analysis has a premise, that is, only by defecting from the village and robbing the hookah can he have a chance to get the hero's water he wants.

However, judging from the information that Naruto has observed so far, there is actually no need for Shisha to go this far.

It's not that Naruto looks down on Shibuki, but after getting along and observing for a period of time, Naruto can see that Shibuki is the kind of person who has no scheming and is not very determined.

It is the so-called easy to trust people, and the ears are still soft, and it is easy to be led by the nose.

If Shisha had ever been Shibuki's teacher, one would not have known this.

Although Shiki said that the hookah was because he did not become the leader of the village and could not successfully know the location of the hero's water, so he became angry and betrayed outrageously.

But if you really think about it from the perspective of shisha, it is actually a very stupid choice to betray directly. Although Naruto doesn't know what kind of character Shibuki's father is, he knows that Shibuki must be not very firm.

If Shisha uses his identity as a teacher to persuade him a little bit, Naruto doesn't think Shiki's temperament can last long under the current situation that Shibuki's father has passed away.

But Naruto was not going to tell Shiki what was in his heart, after all, it was just his own guess.

------------------------------------- Facing Shiki's sigh, Naruto just looked at the sky The canopy said lightly: "Is that heroic water so attractive? It has attracted you to fight over and over again."

"Those who don't know you don't know how terrifying the Hero's Water is." Shimu shook his head, and said with a look of Naruto's incomprehension: "For so many years, our village has relied on the Hero's Water to resist foreign enemies many times. It can be said that it is the patron saint of our village, as long as there is the heroic water, we don't have to be afraid of the enemies outside the village."

"Oh, that's it." Naruto didn't show any surprise when he heard Shibuki's exaggerated description, and said in a flat tone, "But I think the most important thing about protecting the village is the spirit and peace." Will, things like foreign things cannot last long, you will always encounter stronger opponents, and there will always be times when you will encounter enemies that cannot be easily defeated by the Heroic Water. At this time, personal will and spirit are stronger than those Foreign objects are more important."

"You don't understand." Facing Naruto's retort, Shiki had an expression of not knowing how to tell you, with his hands behind his back and an unfathomable face, he said: "You who don't understand Hero's Water, I don’t even know how terrifying it is. It’s a taboo power. If people in the outside world know about it, I’m afraid there will be a bloodbath immediately. My father told me that the water of heroes is guarding our Longyin Village. , At the same time, our Longyin Village is also guarding the water of heroes, preventing its secrets from being known to the outside world.

"........."

Naruto was a little speechless looking at Shiki who looked like you didn't understand, and he didn't know what to say.

If you say you're fat, you're really out of breath. You don't even know what Renzhuli is. What do you tell me about the power of taboos? If the Hero's Water is as powerful as you say, how can a few people in your village still Keep it?

But this might be a good opportunity to challenge.

"Okay, what you say is what you say." Naruto smiled and said: "I know the hero water is powerful, you don't have to keep emphasizing it."

However, even Shiuki could hear the perfunctory meaning in Naruto's words, and Shiki suddenly turned around and looked at Naruto with some dissatisfaction, as if saying why do you look down on the hero water of our Takiyin Village.

Regarding Shiki's indignation, Naruto just smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't continue to belittle, but he didn't mean to explain. He seemed to be saying to Shiki, okay, what you said is right. .

However, it is this kind of casual attitude that makes Shiki even more irritated, because whether it is praise or slander, it actually means that you care about something to a certain extent, and this kind of casual attitude that doesn't want to say anything, It is the greatest contempt for a thing.

Facing Naruto's contemptuous attitude, Shimu couldn't bear it any longer. He could accept that others looked down on him, but he couldn't accept that someone looked down on what his father guarded with his life.

But Shibuki is not good at arguing or conflicting with Naruto.

First of all, Naruto is his savior. It is a bit too much for him to turn against him just because of a few words.

Secondly, and the most important point, Shiki couldn't beat Naruto, even if he charged forward with all his blood, there seemed to be no other result except for being beaten in vain.

Since you can't fight and you can't fight, and simply blowing is useless, the only way in the end is to refute Naruto with facts.

"You..." Shemu first looked around vigilantly, then leaned close to Naruto and said in a low voice, "Can you promise me that after tonight's incident, you won't reveal any secrets to anyone?"

Naruto glanced at Shibuki strangely, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said tentatively, "Well...I promise."

"Okay! This is what you said!" Seeing that Naruto agreed, Shiki slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "Come with me!"

After saying that, Sheki took the lead and walked towards the center of the sacred tree.

Naruto was speechless looking at Shiki's back, not knowing what to say.

By the way, this is too easy to fool, and just such a fluffy promise, does this guy believe it?

Naruto didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he didn't say anything, and the other party took all the tricks himself.

If I say I won’t leak the secret, you will believe that I won’t. Should I say it is stupid or naive....

What a fool...

Fortunately, I really have no malicious intentions, otherwise this guy would definitely make people limp.

Naruto sighed, followed helplessly, and at the same time became more convinced of an idea in his heart.

That is, Shisha must have had other reasons for defecting in the first place, otherwise the other party would not have to be so anxious at all. As long as he had to be patient and fool around for a few more days, this Sheki would obediently offer the Hero's Water with both hands.

In fact, Naruto himself has overlooked a problem, that is, he himself is a person who can give others a sense of trust and security. After being in contact with Naruto for a period of time, almost everyone will understand that Naruto is an upright person. People, and to have a sense of trust in an upright person is naturally a matter of course.

Even if it is a bad guy who is full of evil, if you ask him what kind of person he wants to be friends with, there is a high probability that he will be an upright person.

And people like Shibuki, who are easily influenced by others, unconsciously trust Naruto more easily, and naturally make more bold moves.

Naruto followed Shimu around and around, and actually entered the root of the sacred tree from several gaps, followed a path all the way to a relatively empty pool, and there was a small platform in the pool , There is something similar to a shrine built on the platform, and it is estimated that the water of heroes mentioned by Shibuki is enshrined in it.

Sheki walked up to the shrine, first put his hands together and worshiped reverently, then carefully stepped forward to open the small door of the shrine, and took out a transparent container in the shape of a gourd.

The gourd-shaped transparent container is filled with a transparent liquid similar to clear water, accounting for about three-quarters of the entire container.

"Look." Shiki held the translucent gourd in both hands, looked at Naruto nervously and said, "This is the water of heroes."

To be honest, Shiki has come to his senses now, what did he do, he brought outsiders to the place where the water of heroes is enshrined.

Impulsively, Shiki took Naruto to the place where the Hero's Water was hidden, and now he didn't react suddenly until he took out the Hero's Water, what if the other party suddenly came out to snatch it at this time.

But things have come to this, Shiki can only bite the bullet and continue to introduce, hoping that Naruto will keep his promise and integrity.

If it doesn't work, he can only grit his teeth... He seems to have nothing to do...

If Naruto really wants to snatch him, he can only obediently give it to him with both hands...

Naruto looked at Shibuki's nervous expression and trembling hands, and knew that the other party was very nervous now, so he stopped provoking Shibuki, but stood at the same place from a distance, looked curiously at the gourd container in Shiki's hand and said : "This is the water of heroes, it doesn't look like anything special."

Seeing that Naruto really didn't intend to rob, Shiki heaved a sigh of relief, and explained to Naruto showing off: "This Heroic Water is really powerful, you have to stand firm and listen carefully." , it can instantly increase the chakra amount of the quoting person by dozens of times!"

When Shiki finished speaking, he said no more, looking forward to the horrified expression on Naruto's face.

However, Naruto disappointed Shibuki. After hearing Shiki's exaggerated expression, Naruto said that there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

"Oh...that's it." Naruto tilted his head and said, "And then?"

"Then?" Sheki suddenly became a little crazy, and excitedly held the heroic water in his hand and said, "Isn't that enough!? This is a chakra that has increased dozens of times in an instant. Isn't this scary enough?!"

"Well...it's quite scary..." Naruto looked at Shibuki's excited look, so he didn't want to say anything, first answered the two lines perfunctorily, and then changed the subject and said: "Then Your Heroic Water is so powerful, there should be some restrictions. Could it be that your Heroic Water can permanently enhance a person’s Chakra? That’s really powerful.”

"Well...it hasn't reached that point yet." Hearing Naruto's words, Shemu smiled awkwardly and said, "It must not be a permanent enhancement, or what would it be, it's just temporary That's all, but this is already very powerful!"

"Oh...temporary." Naruto nodded as expected, and then asked, "How long will it last? An hour?"

Shiki felt that Naruto was deliberately dismantling his platform, so he could only continue to reply in embarrassment: "Uh...the duration...not as long as an hour..."

"Not an hour." Naruto touched his chin and said, "How long is that? Ten minutes?"

"It's not even ten minutes..." Sheki opened his mouth, and he didn't use it before. Naturally, he didn't know the exact time, so he could only guess based on the information he heard from his father and seniors: "One mouthful , about a minute?"

"One minute...that's not a very long time." Naruto nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Shiki and said, "Then what are the side effects of this Hero Water?"

Obtaining anything has a price, especially something that seems to be able to temporarily increase strength with just a sip. The easier it is to obtain something, the greater the price you need to pay.

There is no free lunch in this world, and there is no power obtained for nothing, even if it only lasts for a minute.

Facing Naruto's barrage of questions one after another, Shibuki was a little overwhelmed at this time, he had already forgotten why he came here, the leading power of the conversation was completely controlled by Naruto, and the whole person was led by Naruto Go nose to nose.
