"However, Pei En once said that given the current situation of the Wave Feng Shui Sect, Woodleaf Village would definitely think of ways to keep them in the village. If he stays in Muye, how can we get any information about him without using a lot of force?”
Although he knew that Ban was right, Xiao Nan really couldn't think of a way to test the water gate. He suddenly felt helpless.
"If it really doesn't work, let Jue infiltrate Muye to gather information. Although it's dangerous, with his ability, he might be able to obtain useful information. In short, we are currently in the stage of hiding and accumulating strength. We must not act rashly!”
Ban also felt that he had no idea where to start. He could only take one step at a time and place his hopes on another member of Xiao, Jue.
"…Indeed, we shouldn't be too ostentatious now. If we attract the attention of the other countries, then the gains won't make up for the losses…Just like Ban said, we have to rely on Jue's ability now. If it was him, he might really be able to get some useful information.”
Pei En nodded his head in agreement, but he was also at his wit's end. He could only place his hopes on Jue.
" Sigh..." The three of them sighed in their hearts almost at the same time. The most helpless one was Ban. Originally, he was full of ambition to meet up with Pei En to understand the progress of the plan, but he did not expect to hear such bad news! His mood immediately turned sour.
If it was anyone else who made him so conflicted, he would definitely use his unique spatial ninjutsu to directly test the waters, but the Wave Water Gate…
Ban couldn't help but think of the battle thirteen years ago that he still couldn't forget. In a flash, just when he thought victory was in his hands, he was suddenly caught off guard by the water gate. If it weren't for Nine-Tails, he doubted whether he could have escaped successfully.
That was the most embarrassing battle in his life! He had planned for a long time to seize the Nine-Tailed Human Pillar when it was giving birth, and even harass the Water Sect's beloved wife and young son! However, he didn't expect Shui Men to be able to remain so calm. After a few rounds of fighting, he had almost figured out his ability! He had even achieved victory at lightning speed. He even thought that he had won! But in the next moment, he completely failed!
"Feng Shui Sect…why are you always so troublesome? Damn it, damn it." Ban clenched his fists in hatred, but his face under the mask was ashen!
The sky was getting dark and the sun was setting. Under the evening light, two figures, one tall and one short, jumped out of a dense forest with a whoosh and then stopped. Each of them had blonde hair and always had a slight smile on their faces. The other person was dressed in white, his eyes ashen white. It was Shuimen and Ningci who had left Muye!
" Oh…" Shuimen looked up at the sky. Although the sun had not set, the dark clouds that covered the sky made it faintly visible. The sky suddenly darkened.
"Is it going to rain?" Shui Men's brows seemed to furrow as he looked into the distance.
"Lord Fourth Generation, it looks like it's going to rain soon. If that's the case, we shouldn't travel through the night…There doesn't seem to be any inns nearby. Are we going to camp nearby?"
Ning Ci also looked up at the weather and observed his surroundings.
" Ah, let's camp nearby." Shui Men looked around and pointed to a relatively flat place not far ahead."Let's rest there tonight."
It had been more than 20 days since Lishuimen and Ningci left the village. They were already halfway to the Vortex Country. Although nothing happened in more than 20 days, Ning Ci's performance still made Watergate very satisfied.
His keen observation ability, meticulous thinking ability, and accurate judgment ability were often inadvertently revealed in a small matter. In the eyes of the water gate, Ning Ci was definitely a young man with extraordinary ninja talent, and he was a future that Muye could rely on. Therefore, Watergate decided to help him grow up.
Just like what Okami had said before, he had developed a love for talent in Ningjisushui. Although he didn't say he wanted to take Ning Ci as a disciple, the careful guidance and care of the water gate over the past twenty days showed his thoughts without reservation.
Watergate's gentle care and patient teaching made Ning Ci feel a strange feeling in his heart. In his impression, ever since his father died, no one had treated him so well since he was young.
Teacher Kai was good to him, but he was an extremely careless person. He was not good at expressing his concern for his disciples. Moreover, his proudest disciple was Little Li.
Uncle Sunata and Nizuzu…Ning Ci indeed felt Nizuzu's concern for him after that conversation, but it was more manifested in his cultivation.
Watergate was like a gentle father, loving, tolerant, and even loving. Other than performing as a dutiful teacher in cultivation, he also cared about his daily life meticulously. This feeling of being cared for, loved, and anticipated was the first time since his father's death!
In just twenty days, the barrier between Ning Ci and Shuimen was quickly eliminated. In Ning Ci's eyes, the tall and imposing figure in front of him was not the legendary yellow flash, nor was it the unreachable fourth generation Naruto. Instead, it was a father like elder that was within reach.
Ever since he was freed from the cage he had built by Naruto, although he felt much more relaxed, he could not deny that he had become confused about his future path. He only pursued his own future and limits in a daze, wanting to become stronger without any purpose. However, after becoming stronger, Ning Ci had no idea what he would do.
But now, Ning Ci had found the reason to become stronger and found his future dream. That was to inherit the will of the fourth generation Naruto and protect his ideals!
A scholar dies for a confidant! In just 20 days, Shuimen had completely entered Ning Ci's heart. When Shuimen put the last string of meatballs on Ning Ci's plate, when Shuimen tucked Ning Ci's bed before he went to sleep, when Shuimen carefully guided Ning Ci during his cultivation, that spring breeze smile, considerate care, and extremely patient teaching, all of these completely moved Ning Ci.
He, Ningji Hinata, was willing to give up everything for this father-like man!
Rumble, rumble, rumble. A dull thunderclap sounded, and the dark clouds lowered even further. Shuimen and Ning Ci arrived at the place they had just pointed at. The terrain here was relatively flat, and it was much higher than the surrounding area. Therefore, even if it rained at night, there would not be water here.
Ning Ci took off his backpack and took out a scroll. With a swoosh, the scroll was nearly half-opened. Ning Ci then gently tapped on a circular seal formed by dozens of seals. With a bang, a white smoke rose and a folded tent appeared on the ground.
"Oh, Ning Ci, I didn't expect you to have such a convenient scroll. It seems that you have quite a lot of experience in surviving in the wild.”Shui Men and Ning Ci were setting up their tents as they exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah, no. This scroll was given to me by Tian Tian back then. At that time, I was assigned to another team to carry out a mission due to some unexpected events. Although there was no danger, the environment they had to face was very harsh. Thus, Tian Tian gave me this scroll. At that time, because the others were well prepared, they did not use it and had been saved until now. He did not expect that he would be able to use it today.”
Ning Ci replied as he set up his tent.
"Tian Tian, I see. You guys seem to have a good relationship. Haha." Watergate laughed and teased.
"Lord Fourth…"
Ning Ci's face turned red when he heard the mockery in Shui Men's words. Although he had some feelings for Tian Tian that were different from normal companions, it wasn't obvious. Sometimes, even Tian Tian and himself weren't sure. He didn't expect that Watergate would tease him about this as if he had seen through something.
"Phew, it's finally done. Hehe, as expected, it was all thunder and no rain. It seemed like the rain wouldn't fall for a while.”
Amid the laughter, the tent was soon set up. Shui Men sighed softly and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds seemed to have become heavier, but it still did not rain.
"Ah, although the sky is very dark, it's not time to rest yet. "Fourth generation master, I…" Ning Ci also looked up and said hesitantly.
"Oh, do you want to cultivate now? You're really hardworking." Watergate saw through Ning Ci's intentions and chuckled.
Ning Ci's eyes flashed back to the battle with Onishi Maru. At that time, he was almost forced to the end of his rope. Even if he was lucky enough to win in the end, he was also in danger. If it wasn't for the fifth generation Naruto personally saving him, he would probably have died by now.
"Lord Fourth Generation, I am still very weak. To protect my dreams, to protect the people I cherish…I must become stronger!”
Ning Ci looked at the water gate with bright eyes, and his bright eyes emitted a shocking power.
With that kind of determination, it was as if the water gate could see the figure of Aiko Naruto! Although he didn't say it out loud, Watergate knew who the person Ning Ci cherished was. This kind of immature cognition and pure feelings made even Shuimen's heart tremble.
"Ning Ci, the people you cherish shouldn't be limited to the people around you. Your dreams should be broader.”
Shuimen did not say this out loud. Although Ning Ci's dream was immature, it showed the purity of Ning Ci's heart. There were many people with such a pure heart in the entire Ninja world, but they would eventually be contaminated by all kinds of ugly and dirty things.
Watergate didn't want to interfere too much with Ning Ci's inner growth. He didn't want to spoil things by pulling them up. He only needed to observe silently from the side and let Ning Ci feel the world for himself. Unless there was a deviation in Ning Ci's heart, the water gate would forever stand aside.
The rankings have been dropping. I hope everyone can give me more encouragement.，
