A natural number is called a [i]quaprimal [/i] number if it satisfies all four following conditions: i. Does not contain zeros. ii. The digits compiling the number are different. iii. The first number and the last number are prime numbers or squares of an integer. iv. Each pair of consecutive numbers forms a prime number or square of an integer. For example, we check the number $971643$. (i) $971643$ does not contain zeros. (ii) The digits who compile $971643$ are different. (iii) One first number and one last number of $971643$, namely $9$ and $3$ is a prime number or a square of an integer. (iv) Each pair of consecutive numbers, namely $97, 71, 16, 64$, and $43$ form prime number or square of an integer. So $971643$ is a quadratic number. Find the largest $6$-digit quaprimal number.
