A week had passed. Except for the tasks assigned to him, Watergate basically stayed in the hut with Ri Zhi and occasionally took him out for a walk.
" Mr. Watergate, did the mission go well?" Ri Zhi greeted him happily. This time, Watergate returned earlier than usual.
" Yes, the mission went very smoothly this time, so I came back early." Watergate stared at Ri Zhi, feeling extremely happy. It seemed like he hadn't felt this kind of life for a long time.
"Have you recovered from your injuries?" Watergate asked with concern.
" Yes, I've recovered." Ri Zhi nodded his head foolishly." Yes, I've recovered, but I can't chase you to Muye now, I still have my mission."
Every generation of the Kamitani clan would send their clansmen to carry out missions in the outside world. They had just arrived in the outside world and were not allowed to take a step into the Woodleaf Village for two years. Unless a destructive life-and-death situation occurred in the Woodleaf Village, they would only have to lend a helping hand. In these two years, not only did he have to learn the ways of the world, but he also had to find a successor. Ri Zhi was now the third-generation successor. Every successor of the Kamitani clan had set up a secret technique. When the next successor appeared in the real world, their blood heir would fall asleep. When they sensed that the blood heir was asleep, they had to stay in the Guo Country's Hidden Village and wait for the arrival of the new successor of the Kamitani clan. They would then insert the Sleeping Curse of the blood heir into the current successor's body, and the current successor would telepathically exit the gate leading to the Kamitani village to let the previous successor retire and return home.
" Brother Shuimen, do you know how to get to the Vortex Country?" His body had already recovered. It was time to move.
" Billy, you know about the Vortex Country too?" Very few ninjas knew about this small country, let alone ordinary villagers.
" I, I don't want to say it. Even if I did, it would be a lie. I don't want to lie to Mr. Shuizun," Ri Zhi said to Shuizun in a low voice.
" The Vortex Kingdom was destroyed a long time ago," Watergate said while paying attention to Nichito's expression.
"How did they die? Are the Whirlpool clansmen still alive?”When Ri Zhi heard that the Vortex Country had been destroyed, he revealed his secret excitedly.
"Billy wants to find the Whirlpool Race. After the Whirlpool Race was destroyed, they scattered around the world and hid their names.”Watergate said doubtfully.
" Is Billy a member of the Whirlpool Tribe?" Shui Men couldn't help but ask.
" No." Ri Zhi shook his head blankly. After all, he was just a 10-year-old child who had never seen the world. He was already panicking.
" Then, were Billy's people killed by Swirl's people?" Shui Men asked worriedly. He didn't want to let Rizhi's mind be blinded by hatred. He wasn't sure if Rizhi was thinking about revenge. Most importantly, he would not allow Ri Zhi to do anything irreversible for revenge.
" Brother Shui Men, I can only tell you that I have to find the people of the Swirl Clan. They are not my enemies." Ri Zhi could see Shui Men's worry. The Whirlpool clansmen had already scattered all over the place. He didn't know if it would be useful to find them.
" Then pack up tonight. Tomorrow morning, big brother Shuimen will take you to find the orphan of the Swirl Clan. I know a member of the Swirl Clan. He is my friend," Shuimen said dotingly as he stroked Ri Zhi's head.
" Positive?" Ri Zhi's eyes widened with a hint of joy. In the next second, it turned into sadness." Brother Watergate didn't say that to make me happy, did he?"
"It's absolutely true. Brother Shuimen won't lie to Ri Zhi." Ri Zhi, tomorrow we'll go back to Muye and find Little Chili Pepper.
" Okay, I'll go pack up immediately." After saying that, Ri Zhi ran back into the house and cleaned up.
On the way the next day
"Brother Shuimen, the 'Little Chili Pepper' you mentioned is a very good friend of yours, right?”Due to his height, Ri Zhi raised his head and asked with a smile.
" Yes, very close." A blush flashed across Shui Men's face.
"Hey, Brother Shuimen, are you not feeling well? Why is your face red? Do you want to rest?”Ri Zhi was 'naively' concerned about the water gate.
" Ah, we're here. Little Chili is in the village ahead." Shuimen hurriedly changed the topic.
I stood on the hillside and looked at the direction of the water gate." Wow, what high walls! What a big village!"”I sighed.
" Of course. Woodleaf Village is the leader of the Five Great Countries. Of course, the village is also the most prosperous and beautiful among the Five Great Countries," Shui Men said proudly. "You must be tired after a day of traveling. There's no water, I'll go find some water. Wait for me here and don't run around."
"Yes…" Ri Zhi nodded, dumbstruck. He probably didn't even hear what Shui Men said.
'What should I do? So Little Chili Pepper is staying in Woodleaf Village. I'll be able to find Swirl's clansmen soon, but grandpa ordered me not to step into Woodleaf Village for two years.' Ask Big Brother to bring Little Chili Pepper out of the village? Ri Zhi pondered deeply.
"Here, drink some water." Shuimen handed a pot of water to Ri Zhi. He found that Rizhi took it in a daze and didn't put it into his mouth. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
" Brother Shuimen, I want to see Little Chili as soon as possible. Can you bring Little Chili here?" I carefully observed Shuimen, not daring to miss any expression on his face.
" Little Chili Pepper can't step out of the village." In this chaotic period, the Nine-Tailed Human Pillar Strength couldn't casually leave the village.
" Rizhi, do you not like Muye Village?" Whenever he mentioned to Rizhi that he would take him to live in Muye Village, Rizhi would always smile, but he would never answer. Did Rizhi not like Muye Village?
" Muye is very good. Because he's Mr. Shuimen's favorite, so is Billy. Because it's Mr. Shuimen's village, Billy likes it too. Most importantly, it's Mr. Shuimen's home, so Billy likes it," Ri Zhi smiled at Shuimen.
" Well, then have a good rest. You can go home in a while." Watergate habitually stroked Ri Zhi's head and his golden hair.
"Brother Shuimen, do you hate those who killed your family?”Ri Zhi looked at the water gate with deep meaning, as if he would never see it again in the next second.
" I don't know either. But, Billy, I can tell you that as long as ninjas exist in this world, there might not be peace. As long as there is love, there will be hatred. Everyone has to find the answer themselves," the Water Gate said to him seriously.
" I understand, Mr. Watergate. I will find the answer." After saying that, Ri Zhi plunged into Mr. Watergate's arms. "Brother Shuimen, the water spilled just now. Can you help me get some more?"
" No problem." After saying that, he jumped up the tree and disappeared from Ri Zhi's sight.
"Brother Shuimen, I'm sorry, I can't go to Muye yet. Tomorrow, maybe I can tell you everything after tomorrow. Also, I will definitely find the answer. "If it's possible, I really want to be an ordinary person," Ri Zhi said to himself as he held back the tears in his eyes. Ri Zhi took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wrapped it around his head to cover his golden hair. Then, he made a 'Wei' seal. His body emitted specks of starlight and slowly turned into nothingness, disappearing into the air.
" Goodbye, Brother Watergate. And, thank you, Brother Watergate."
Shuimen, who was getting water from the stream, suddenly felt his heart palpitate. He looked in the direction of Ri Zhi and quickly rushed over. The jug on the ground was slowly flowing out of the jug, nourishing the surrounding grass.
