" Well, you finally came to find me," the third-generation successor said as he took a deep puff of his pipe and blew it out of the window. The way he breathed in and out was like he was using a cigarette to hide his emotions. He sighed deeply.
" Yes, I've been investigating for more than half a year, but the village seems to be very strict about this matter." Ri Zhi now suspected that the village was deliberately not letting him find out.
"I guess you're wondering if the village deliberately didn't give you any information!”The third-generation successor turned around and kindly asked what was on his mind. When Ri Zhi heard this, his expression became a little unnatural.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to think that." Ri Zhi bowed to the third generation. said
"It's okay. There's no need to be so reserved. "How is it? Are you used to living in the village?" As he spoke, the third-generation successor massaged his waist. "Looks like I'm getting old too. It's time for me to be considered a successor."
In front of Ri Zhi, the third-generation successor was like a kind old man. This made Ri Zhi think of his grandfather, and his eyes inadvertently reflected the fragility in his heart.
The third-generation successor looked at the fragile Ri Zhi and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After all, he was still a child. He was young and impulsive. He really wanted to be young again and be impulsive again.
"The incident in the Earth Continent might have something to do with the Kamiya clan being exterminated or the Kamiya branch family back then. It will be very difficult to investigate, but I can guarantee that it was definitely not done by the village." He still had to face what he had to face. In the end, the third-generation successor still told him the situation of his investigation.
Rizhi was shocked. He did not expect that it would involve the matter of his clan being exterminated again. At this moment, he did not know who had betrayed him. He only remembered that the ability of the clansman who had invaded his village seemed to be specially used to restrain the ninjutsu of his clansmen.
Without saying a word, Ri Zhi turned around and walked out of Naruto's office. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard the voice of the third-generation successor behind him. "Where the leaves dance, there will be a fire. The light will illuminate the village, and the leaves will sprout again.”
" The light will illuminate the village, and the leaves will sprout again." Ri Zhi raised his head and repeated the words of the third generation. After a while, he said,"Even in the lush trees, there are still many dead branches and rotten vines. Their existence will only bring misfortune to the trees." He randomly walked out of the Naruto building.
When the third-generation successor heard this, he was shocked. Then, he hesitantly walked up to the roof of the Fire Shadow Tower and looked into the distance for a long time. His wide Fire Shadow costume fluttered in the wind.
Unknowingly, Ri Zhi had already walked to Mu Ye's consolation tablet. Every time Ri Zhi came over, he could always see Kakashi, who was dispirited in his heart but firm on the outside.
" Thank you," Kakashi said lazily.
" He didn't want to see you like this." Ri Zhi felt sorry for Kakashi. The confident Kakashi that Seagull had once been was nowhere to be seen.
" What about you? You still haven't gotten over that incident, have you?" Kakashi turned to ask Ri Zhi.
Ri Zhi looked at Kakashi in surprise. So that was how it was. Under his decadent appearance, his observation skills were still so sharp. It seemed like he did not have to worry about him anymore.
" Let me tell you a story." Ri Zhi found a spot and lay down. Perhaps he had been suppressed for too long and wanted to find someone to talk to.
Kakashi didn't answer, so it could be considered a silent agreement.
"Unknowingly, it has been less than three years. "Time really flies," Ri Zhi adjusted his position, his head resting on his hands as he sighed.
"A long, long time ago, long before the Five Great Nations were established. There was a large family whose clansmen loved peace and stood aloof from worldly affairs. However, the fame and wealth of this world caused some of the clansmen to change. They used their ugly faces to betray the families that raised them.”At this point, Ri Zhi's emotions fluctuated slightly.
"Someone once said that as long as the ninja profession exists in the world, there will be struggles and sacrifices.”Kakashi said dully.
" Isn't this making us ninjas ugly?" Ri Zhi smiled. Using ninjas to compare people's greed, jealousy, and selfishness was really interesting.
" Who knows?" Kakashi found a place covered with grass and lay down like Ri Zhi. He picked a piece of foxtail grass and threw it into his mouth.
Ri Zhi picked up a dead branch and chased away the grasshopper under him. After the grasshopper flew away, he lay down in peace. Then, he continued," Later, with the help of a hero, that family successfully defeated the people who betrayed him. Because of the kindness of the clan leader, he did not punish those who betrayed him with blood. He treated it as their choice and expelled them from the village. They were never allowed to use the family name again, and their descendants were never allowed to return to the village.”
At this point, Ri Zhi paused. He remembered that when his grandfather told him this story, he had asked his grandfather a question. His grandfather had only smiled and said," When Ri Zhi grows to be as tall as grandfather, he will understand." The 13-year-old Ri Zhi was 152cm tall, which was still a long way from his grandfather.
" Kakashi, why don't you tell me why those people didn't punish those who betrayed them? They brought disaster and pain to their people," Ri Zhi asked Kakashi the same question.
Hearing Ri Zhi's question, Kakashi sank into melancholy. "That's right. The hero who risked everything to save them back then was forced to death by them. Why is this? Why do there have to be so many problems in life?”
In front of the Solemn Monument, the two geniuses of Muye were currently pondering over each other. The answers to these questions could also determine the path they would take in the future and determine their fate in the future.
" What happened after that?" Kakashi, who had fallen into melancholy, realized that he hadn't finished listening to the 'story' just now, so he asked Ri Zhi.
"After that, the clan found a place to avoid worldly disputes. After building their village, they lived a peaceful and happy life.
" Is there really such a place in this world?" Kakashi was a little moved when he heard that. How great would it be if he could live in such a place? Dearthy would probably like that kind of place.
"But good times don't last long. Their village had been found by someone, and they had planned a large-scale invasion. Due to a period of peace and comfort, there were very few of their clansmen who continued to be ninjas. Other than the few people who were essential to the village, as well as the heir of the clan leader. The rest have all given up on cultivation."
" Their tribe has always been on guard, but we don't know what happened. Their village was discovered by some powerful ninjas," Ri Zhi said with a face full of questions, as if he was asking himself and others.
