"Stop, Liu Yun!" Kakashi was the first to react. He grabbed Flowing Cloud's hand and shook his head slightly. Flowing Cloud was stunned. Then, he let go of Naruto's collar and turned around with his back facing Naruto."I'm sorry!"
Then, he ignored everyone and walked straight to the door. At this moment, Whitey, who was in Kakashi's hand, started to struggle. Kakashi put Whitey down and Whitey quickly ran to Liu Yun's shoulder. When he reached the door, Liu Yun stopped and said to Yi Na,""Ina, I was a little overboard with my words just now. but... If you keep running away, you won't even be able to protect yourself in the end!... Not to mention the most important person to you!" With that said, Liu Yun opened the door and walked out…
At night, Inari sat quietly with his arms around his knees. The sea breeze blew coldly. Kakashi stood behind him and looked at Igna."Can I sit here?" After sitting down, Kakashi turned to Igna and said,"Don't mind him. Liuyun doesn't have any ill intentions. He's just not good at talking. Mr. Dazner told me about your father.”
"Maybe he saw that you look like him, that's why he told you so much!" Kakashi paused for a moment. Liu Yun is the same as you. He lost his father when he was young, so he longs for his parents 'love! Even in her dreams, she called out for her parents! It's better to say that he has never seen his parents at all. Moreover, the people in the village hate him very much..." When Igna heard Kakashi's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Kakashi continued,"Liu Yun, he…I watched Liu Yun grow up. Every time he was bullied and frustrated, I never saw him cry…Because he had cried enough! Therefore, he knew that it was useless to just cry. He understood what it meant to be truly strong. Just like your father, Liu Yun might be the person who understands you the most! What he said to you just now, he had said to himself countless times. Ever since he was young, he did not know why he had survived or why he existed. Even with this question, he still chose to survive. Now that he had found someone to protect, he understood! He needed strength and courage to protect the most important person!...”Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Igna lowered his head and thought of his father.
The next day, Liu Yun and the others escorted Dazner to build the bridge as usual. This was repeated every day, and just like that, three days passed. Suddenly, there was news of Kado's death. This caused Kakashi and the others to be somewhat shocked, but also somewhat glad! For the next few days, there were no more attacks. Furthermore, Kado's forces were taken over by a mysterious person. The mysterious person expressed his opposition to Kado's obstruction of Dazner's construction of the bridge and announced that he would no longer interfere with the construction of the 'Bridge of Hope' that connected to the Country of Waves. The mysterious person even took out a portion of his funds to fund the construction of the bridge. The people of the Country of Waves who received this news also worked even harder to build the 'Bridge of Hope'. A few weeks later, the bridge was completed.
On the bridge…
" Alright, let's send them off here. We should be leaving now." Kakashi brought Liu Yun and the others to the border of the Country of Waves to bid farewell to the Dazner family. "Yes... Thank you for protecting me all these days until the completion of this bridge. I can't thank you enough!... Take care!" Dazner took off his hat and said to Kakashi and the others.
" Well then, let's part ways here." Kakashi smiled at Dazner's family, and then everyone set off on their return journey.

Naruto's office, Koba Ninja Village
“... That was the detailed situation! Old man, a middle-aged man with the word 'oil' written on his forehead, long white hair that reached his waist, red marks under his eyes, clogs on his feet, and a thick scroll on his back was standing in front of the third generation Naruto Ape. That's right, this person was one of the three ninjas, Zi Lai Ye. When the third generation Naruto heard Kirai's words, he took a puff of his cigarette and pondered for a while before exhaling the smoke.
"When did this happen?" The third-generation successor looked at Zi Lai and asked. Zi Lai also suddenly came back to the village to tell the third generation a piece of news that concerned the safety of the village. This news was not even known to anyone in Muye. After hearing the third-generation successor's question, Zirai replied with a serious expression,"According to Tiger Toad, he doesn't know when it happened. He just suddenly realized that the seal was broken. When I heard the news, I immediately rushed back to the village. However, after seeing that nothing had happened in the village, I was still worried, so I came to talk to you first. So, old man, did anything special happen?... Where are the children from Watergate now?"
The third-generation successor shook his head and said,"He has already left the village. He won't be back for the time being…"
At this moment, a masked member of the Dark Group appeared in Naruto's office. The Dark Group looked at the third-generation successor and said respectfully,""I'm very sorry, Lord Naruto!" The third-generation successor looked at the Dark Group that suddenly appeared and said,""Speak, I'm not an outsider!”
The Dark Group glanced at Zirai and said to the third-generation successor,""Yes... Jounin Kakashi's seventh squad had safely returned to the village and was now heading their way!”After the Dark Group finished speaking, Zi Lai Ye and the third-generation successor's hanging hearts relaxed a little. The third-generation successor looked at the Dark Group and said,"Is there anything special?"
The Dark Group still lowered their heads and said respectfully,"There are no special circumstances…"
"Is that so…"Then, you can leave," the 3rd Generation said to the Dark Group. After the Dark Group heard the 3rd Generation's words, they nodded and disappeared into the Naruto office. At this moment, there was a light knock on the office door." Lord Naruto, I'm Kakashi. May I come in?"”The third-generation successor and Zilai Ye were slightly stunned. The third-generation successor and Zilai Ye looked at each other, and Zilai Ye nodded. The third-generation successor said to the door,"Come in!"
"Lord Naruto…Uh, Lord Zirai, you're back!”After Kakashi entered, he saw Zilai beside him and said in surprise. After looking at Kakashi, Zilai smiled and replied,"So it's Kakashi. Long time no see, Kakashi!”
"You look like you just came back from outside. Why? Did something happen to you?"”
The third-generation successor knew that Kakashi must have something important to discuss with him, so he said to the two,""Kakashi, you came at the right time. I have something to ask you. Did Liu Yun do anything unusual during the mission?”
After saying that, Kakashi looked at the 3rd Generation Naruto with slight surprise. The reason why Kakashi had come here at this time was to report the mission situation to the 3rd Generation. After pondering for a while, Kakashi looked at the 3rd Generation and said,"Hmm? Nothing special happened? Lord Naruto, why do you ask…"
Kakashi hadn't finished speaking when Selfless Smile replied,"Nine-Tails 'seal has been lifted!"
"What?" Kakashi looked at the third-generation successor in shock when he heard Zilai Ye's words. His expression then turned grave. Seeing Kakashi's reaction, Zilai Ye and the third-generation successor naturally knew that Kakashi had intentionally concealed the truth.
"Then, has he already transformed into a tail beast? What do you think?" The third-generation successor asked with a solemn expression. Kakashi looked at the two of them with a solemn expression as he continued,"No, Liu Yun didn't transform into a tail beast, but... I can't tell you the details, but I have a feeling that Flowing Cloud's strength has probably reached the peak of Jounin. No…In fact, I can already feel that his power has surpassed mine."
"What? What was going on! Kakashi!" The third-generation successor found Kakashi's words rather difficult to accept. After all, for someone like her, who was the number one technician of Muye, to say something like that, the two of them could not help but be surprised.
"What's going on? Kakashi!" Zilai Ye looked at Kakashi and asked in puzzlement. Zilai Ye listened to Kakashi's explanation as he fell into deep thought. Zilai Ye did not know much about Flowing Cloud. It was only twelve years ago that he suddenly received news of the fourth generation's death. He learned that the fourth generation had sealed Nine-Tails in his son's body, allowing his son to become a pillar of strength. At that time, Zilai Ye was also a little surprised. However, he believed in his disciple's decision. In the past few years, he had traveled all over the world. He continued his journey of writing and searching for traces of Orochimaru. Recently, he had learned from Tiger Toad that Nine-Tailed's seal had been completely destroyed and that they were still searching for and monitoring Orochimaru. Thus, he hurriedly rushed back to Muye.
"Is that so…Looks like Liu Yun seems to be able to control the power of the nine tails…" The third-generation successor lowered his head in deep thought. Kakashi looked at the third-generation successor and asked,""Then, Lord Third Generation, what should we do next?”Previously, Flowing Cloud had asked Kakashi not to tell anyone about what had happened to him. At that time, Kakashi had only agreed because he thought that Flowing Cloud had some things that he did not want others to know. However, the severity of the matter had already made Kakashi unable to keep his promise. This matter concerned Mu Ye's entire interests.
"It won't be long before the annual Chuunin examination. This time, we, the Kanye Ninjas, will be the examination venue! "Therefore, you should observe Liu Yun during this period of time. If there's a way, it's best to figure out Liu Yun's condition…In addition..." The third-generation successor didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious. If he wanted to know how much Liu Yun had hidden, he could only take this opportunity! If nothing unexpected happened, he could also take the opportunity to see if Flowing Cloud could control the power of the Nine-Tails.
"I thought you would at least wait until I passed away before returning to the village.”After Kakashi left, the third-generation successor laughed at himself.
"Hmph, that was my plan.”"But, old man, I see that your body is about to die. Are you okay?"”
"Ke ke, I think my old bones can still hold on for a few more years…" Hearing the third-generation successor's words, the corners of Zi Lai's mouth curled up.""Old man, I think you have something to ask me just now…"
"Orochimaru, he…" Hearing the third-generation successor's words, Zi Lai also interrupted,"" It's still the same. He'll probably continue his research. However, according to the information I gathered, he joined an organization, but for some reason, he left it in the end…"
"Organization?" When the third generation Naruto heard this, he frowned and continued,""That's right. Although I don't know much about the details, I can confirm that the organization is called 'Xiao' and is a small organization made up of nine ninjas.”Looking at the third generation Naruto who was deep in thought, he continued,""According to my observations, there hasn't been any major movements until recently. They're only doing some spying operations, but..."
"Is there a problem?" When the third-generation successor heard this, he asked, and Zi Lai also replied," However, the members of that organization are all wanted S-class criminals with serious problems. Recently, after Orochimaru, who I was monitoring, left the organization, at the same time, the members of this organization began to move around in pairs…They are all going to collect things like spells…"
"I've encountered a strange thing recently."
Although I don't know who this person is, he left a letter.""Stop investigating 'Xiao' and pay attention to Nine-Tails…Otherwise, someone will die because of this…"
"What?!" The third-generation successor was stunned. A person's figure suddenly flashed in his mind."Could it be…"
