The retreat of Sanin basically ended the third ninja war. Zilai also arranged for a portion of ninjas to be stationed at Kikyo Mountain City. The rest of the people followed Self-Reliance and walked back to Muye.
" Ri Zhi, let's have a chat." Watergate thought about it again and again and decided that it was necessary to have a chat with Ri Zhi.
" Okay, Mr. Shuimen." Ri Zhi looked at Shuimen's solemn face. Coupled with his treatment in Muye, he guessed that Shuimen might have talked to him about that matter. In that case, the Watergate boss was still the same old Watergate boss. He hadn't changed at all and hadn't blamed him for that incident.
Naruto Meeting Room in Muye Village…
"Third generation, hurry up and make up your mind. If Lord Naruto can't make a decision, then let us Elders do it for him.”The Shimura Group asked.
"Yuan Fei, Muye can't withstand any more storms now. For Muye's sake, as long as there's anything suspicious, we should get rid of it immediately.”Xiao Chun persuaded Yuan Fei. The Yuan Fei of the past, the current Tuan Zang, the current me, time really flies. In the blink of an eye, everything has changed. However, despite the political differences, everyone's heart for Mu Ye remained unchanged. They just had different starting points. The second generation Naruto had exchanged his life for it, so he would protect it no matter what. To invade the direction that Xiao Chun has set
" Yuan Fei, give the order. Don't forget the last words of the second generation Naruto," Mito Flame said.
" Alright, let's do that." Yuan Fei had done his best for the village for many years. The domineering aura he had in the past had long been worn away. He was a man of tolerance, but now, he was blindly compromising for the sake of the village.
Sigh, am I getting old? Looks like I need to find a successor. The third generation pondered deeply. He was tired. His body was tired. His heart was tired.
" Ri Zhi, what's your relationship with Earth, one of the 12 Ninja Guardians?" Watergate stared at Ri Zhi and asked. He deliberately emphasized the words '12 Ninja Guardians'.
"He is my uncle. I met him after that and have been by his side. He is also my family.”Ri Zhi understood the intention of the water gate.
" Are you sure he's the Twelve Ninja Guardians? Don't let anyone use him," Watergate asked worriedly.
" How can the secret arts of the clan be fake? He is my uncle. He treats me very well. He won't lie to me," Ri Zhi suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
" The information of the Twelve Ninja Guardians has long been saved in the Fire Country's Daimyo's file. Muye has also saved it. In the information, he has no disciples or relatives. Even if he took in a disciple, he would have to inform Daimyo. However, Lord Naruto sent a letter to Daimyo, and Daimyo said that Earthland did not recommend you to Muye. Lord Earthland himself also said that he has no relatives and has not taken in any disciples recently.”Watergate said worriedly.
" What do you mean? Tell me," Ri Zhi said unhappily. Was Shuimen suspecting him and Uncle Lu? It was impossible.
"Although the current situation is not clear, what Watergate said is not wrong. After these few days of interaction, we believe you.”He didn't know when Zilai had appeared. " You're a great contributor to our battle. When we return to Muye, invite Di Lu over for a visit. You two haven't seen each other for a while," Zi Lai said tactfully. It seemed that he could only wait until everyone gathered before he could explain it clearly.
It seems that they still don't believe him. It's fine. It's fine as long as the misunderstanding is explained. I also believe that Uncle Lu won't lie to me. At that moment, Ri Zhi sent a letter to Earthland using his special contact method. Uncle Delu, I'm about to complete Grandpa's instructions. We'll be able to do what we want to do soon. I hope you can come to Muye and celebrate with us.
In the letter, Ri Zhi didn't mention that Mu Ye had treated him as a 'suspect'. He didn't want Uncle Lu to worry about him. As long as Uncle Lu could come, the truth would naturally come out. However, I'm sorry grandpa, I seem to hate Mu Ye more and more!
On the way back to the village, everyone had their own thoughts. Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone had already arrived at the Dark Group's sphere of influence in Muye Village. A member of the Dark Group saw that Zirai and the others had returned, so he immediately rushed back to report to the third generation.
In the Fire Shadow Tower, the third-generation successor was thoughtfully looking at the first and second generation's portraits of Shi Yan. A member of the Dark Group suddenly appeared behind the third-generation successor.
" Lord Naruto, Lord Selaiya and the others have returned. They're almost at the village," the Dark Group member who had just appeared said respectfully to Yuan Fei.
"Pass down the order. If you see Rizhi, immediately surround him. If he dares to resist, treat him as a traitor.”It was unknown when Shimura Tanzou had appeared in Naruto Tower, standing side by side with the third generation. The 'Root' team he sent to Selaiya had reported that Ri Zhi had made a great contribution this time. According to Selaiya and Watergate's attitude towards Ri Zhi, he had to eliminate him before he returned to the village. He also loved the village, but his way of handling things was completely different from Yuan Fei's. Yuan Fei was his sworn enemy, and he could not let Yuan Fei have another expert by his side. He also knew that Yuan Fei must have received the report from Zilai Ye, so he had to take the initiative and personally put pressure on Yuan Fei. He also said that if Yuan Fei resisted, he would be treated as a traitor. According to Yuan Fei's character, he would definitely compromise with him. There was a gap between Ri Zhi and the village, and then there was friction with Zilai Ye and Bofeng Water Gate. Therefore, Ri Zhi should resist arrest. Everything was within his control.
The Dark Group did not take any action when they heard the group's words. Instead, they waited for Huo Ying's instructions.
" Go, let's do it this way," Yuan Fei said without turning his head, his eyes still staring at the portraits of his two masters. A breeze blew past, and his long Naruto costume fluttered in the wind.
Due to the previous unhappiness, Ri Zhi and Zi Lai Ye kept a distance of 10 meters from each other. All of a sudden, the atmosphere around them felt very stifling. It was too quiet.
Ri Zhi secretly guarded his surroundings. They were almost at the village gate. Logically speaking, they should not be ambushed. Ri Zhi couldn't help but wonder.
Zilai Ye and the others also felt that something was wrong around them. They pretended as if nothing had happened, but they were 120% alert in their hearts. They also did not understand.
All of a sudden, 15 members of the Dark Group surrounded Ri Zhi. The leader of the Dark Group walked towards Zirai and said,""Lord Selaiya, Lord Naruto has ordered the arrest of Ri Zhi!"
I've already made a concession. Didn't I already make a deal with Zilai? I even asked Uncle Lu to come to Woodleaf Village to prove his innocence. No matter what, you shouldn't have surrounded me! Why is it different from what I said? Let's not talk about me helping you kill the enemy. I've never done anything to let down your village. I looked at Zilai Ye with a puzzled gaze. As soon as Zilai Ye met my questioning gaze, his gaze drifted elsewhere. As expected, he already knew in advance. I looked at Shuimen again, and he looked at me with the same puzzled look. I suddenly felt a trace of comfort in my heart. Shuimen was still the same Shuimen brother from back then.
" Rizhi, go back with them first." Zilai also looked at me with a guilty expression.
" If you had told me beforehand, I might have been able to go back with them. But now, you didn't tell me, which means that you didn't believe me at all. Now, you want me to go back with you. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" I assumed a battle stance and said to Zilai. My tone was neither sad nor happy.
" Ri Zhi, don't do anything stupid. Please believe in Brother Shui Men. I will protect you and give you an explanation." Shui Men's words entered my ears. My heart softened and I put away the bitter pill in my hand.
On the second day after the extermination of the clan, I was seriously injured and fainted. Coincidentally, Watergate saved me when he was out on a mission.
When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in a room. I looked up and down the room. This was a small wooden house. The house was clean and tidy. There were two pictures of men hanging on the wall. One of the young men seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
"Are you awake?"
I looked at the man in front of me in horror and didn't answer. He thought to himself, have I been captured by them? Did I still not escape?
"Did your village get destroyed? Do you still have a family?”The man continued to ask.
I still didn't say anything, and my weak body retreated.
" Don't be afraid. My name is Bofeng Water Gate. I'm a ninja, a ninja from Muye." He saw my fear.
"My name is Ri Zhi, God..." Perhaps I didn't sense the man's murderous intent, so I immediately spoke. "Don't tell anyone your surname." Grandpa's words suddenly echoed in my mind, and I shut my mouth.
" Oh, you're called Rizhi. Your grandfather must love you very much. You always call me grandfather in your sleep." Shuimen seemed to have noticed something and did not ask further. "Are you a ninja? Do you still have family?"
I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes.
" I don't have a family anymore. We're really fated. I'm 17 years old this year, and you can tell that I'm older than you. You can call me Brother Shuimen. Follow me back to Muye, and Brother Shuimen will take care of you in the future." Shuimen stared at me with a smile.
"En, you will be my big brother in the future.”I answered without hesitation as I felt the familiarity of the water gate. However, I haven't taken revenge yet. How can I chase you to Muye?
I used my injuries as an excuse to stay here and recuperate. Shui Men didn't say anything, but he stayed with me. This touched my heart.
