Without the burden of Yumi, Zha Mu quickly returned to Koba. Just as Zha Mu reached the entrance of Muye Village, he was stopped by a few members of the Dark Group. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, said,"Zha Mu-kun, Lord Naruto has ordered that if you come back, immediately go to Naruto's office.”
"How did you know I was coming back?" Zha Mu asked curiously.”
"Lord Naruto told us to keep an eye on you. We knew when you were not far from the village.”
"I see!" Zuo Mu nodded and thought, why is the third generation looking for me? Could it be that he knew that she had released Yumi and wanted to punish her? That was not right. He had just released it yesterday. Logically speaking, he should not have known. Could it be that the third generation was in a hurry to get some information from Yumi? At this moment, Zhamu could not help but feel a little guilty. What if the third generation really made a fuss about this matter? Releasing captives without permission was not a small crime! Zha Mu's mind was in a complete mess. Who cares! I'll take it one step at a time. No matter what, I've saved two of Mu Ye's good fighters. I deserve credit! Zuo Mu felt relieved when he thought of this.
Zha Mu came to Naruto's office and saw the third-generation successor sitting on the sofa smoking. Zha Mu bowed to the third-generation successor and said,""Muye Shinjin Zhamu has come to report. May I know what instructions Lord Fireshadow has?”
"Hehe, Zhamu, you're here. You've worked hard. I just returned to the village and haven't even gone home yet.”The third-generation successor took a deep puff of his cigarette and blew out smoke rings.
"Fighting for Mu Ye is my duty, so Lord Naruto is too polite!”Zuo Mu still had a serious expression on his face. In fact, Zha Mu was very conflicted about the third generation. He was his teacher De's father, and logically speaking, he should belong to his faction. However, Zha Mu did not dare to get close to Naruto. This guy was definitely a ruthless person who would sell you out at any time for the sake of Muye's " stability." Perhaps it was for Muye, but no matter who it was, they were not willing to be schemed against and end up in a miserable state. White Tooth was a good example, and he had made great contributions to the third generation. However, for the sake of Mu Ye's so-called peace and compromise with the Elders, he had forced White Tooth to a dead end. Moreover, he could not easily offend the Elder Group. Therefore, Zha Mu had always treated him as a Leaf Ninja and not as a trusted aide.
"Zhamu, I heard that you captured a ninja from Yanin Village. Is that true?”The third-generation successor suddenly changed the topic and asked Zuo Mu.
"Yes, but on the way back, due to my negligence, she escaped! I'm sorry, Lord Naruto, but I'm willing to accept the village's punishment."”Zha Mu lowered his head and said. Regarding this matter, it depended on the attitude of the higher-ups of Muye towards Zha Mu. If they felt that Zha Mu was worth recruiting, they would say that Zha Mu had made a low-level ninja mistake, but he was still young. If they wanted to get rid of Zhamu, they would say that Zhamu was deliberately attacking from all directions and was suspected of betraying the village! Zha Mu only had one choice, and that was to defect! The Head Commander did not want to be locked up in the interrogation room and pestered by the people from the Intelligence Department every day.
The third-generation successor suddenly raised his head. His originally turbid eyes immediately flashed with two rays of light as he looked straight at Zha Mu.
Zuo Mu felt a soul-stirring gaze sweeping over his body. He tried his best to calm himself down and took a deep breath to clear his mind.
The third generation looked at Zhamu and said,"I see!" You're still young. It's understandable for you to be careless about many things, just like how you don't know your future. But in the future, he could not make such a mistake again!”
Zha Mu felt that the stone that was originally pressing down on his heart was now pressing down even more heavily! Obviously, the third-generation successor hoped that Zha Mu would join him as soon as possible and not stand on the wrong side! Beads of sweat began to appear on Zha Mu's forehead. As expected of the strongest Naruto. Not only was his strength shocking, but he was also better at politics than the previous generations of Naruto. With just a few words, Zha Mu was unable to breathe. Zha Mu could only bite the bullet and say,"Lord Naruto, I know!"”
"En, it's good that you know. Go!" After saying that, he waved his hand and let Zha Mu leave. When Zha Mu was about to leave, the third-generation successor suddenly said,""Oak wood! Lujiu said you were a good ninja!”
Zha Mu, who was walking to the door, suddenly heard this and felt his body tremble. It seemed that the third generation knew that he would definitely let Yumi go. This old guy was really amazing. He didn't forget to give him a warning before he left!
Zhamu strolled along Muye's main street. He looked at the pedestrians who came and went, and his heart was in a mess. If it were him, he would have let it go. At most, he would have defected, but Senmu would definitely not do this. After being brainwashed by Muye for more than ten years, he would even dare to assassinate Windshade if the third generation asked him to. Then, he would proudly say," Everything is for Muye!”When he thought of this, Zha Mu couldn't help but feel a burst of anger. Zuo Mu walked towards his own home. Seeing his familiar house, familiar fields, and familiar neighbors, Zuo Mu suddenly felt that this place seemed to be not bad!
Just as Zha Mu was about to head home, a ninja appeared beside him. This ninja seemed to be different from the normal Muye Ninjas. Although he was wearing a Muye mask on his forehead, his cold eyes and emotionless face reminded Zha Mu of the " root " of an organization, which was the strength hidden in Muye. Zha Mu didn't say anything and just looked at the person who had come.
The ninja said emotionlessly,""Zhamu Jun, the elders have invited you."
"What's the matter?" Zha Mu asked the ninja.
"I'm sorry, the elders have invited you. Please come over immediately!”the ninja said.
"Can I enter the house first?”Zuo Mu asked.
"Zuomu-kun! The Elder Committee has invited you. Please hurry up and don't make the Elders wait!”The ninja's tone became more serious as he rejected the offer.
F * ck! Was it necessary? Damn it, I'm really a cabbage? Who the f * ck wants to kick me? Zha Mu's face was flushed red. Of course, Zha Mu did not say these words out loud. He only cursed angrily in his heart. Zha Mu knew that he still had to rely on the care of Muye's higher-ups. He did not seem to have anything to be proud of, nor did he have the strength to challenge them. He was still very weak, so he had to endure!
Soon, Zha Mu was brought to a relatively dark place. Zha Mu had seen it in anime before. It seemed that this was Root's territory. Zha Mu looked at the brazier burning in the middle and thought to himself, If I were to lock myself up here, I would be in trouble. It's dark! Zha Mu waited beside the brazier. After about three minutes, Zha Mu saw the other boss of Muye, Tanzo. This guy looked creepy. Although the bandages had not covered the entire right wall, except for his palm, the rest were almost done! Could it be that this guy had already started scheming against the Uchiha family? But the Uchiha family had not been destroyed yet. Where did he get the Shurunyan?
Amidst Zha Mu's questions, Tuan Zang spoke," You're Zha Mu, right? Not bad, not bad!"
Zha Mu heard that Tuanzang's low and hoarse voice didn't seem to have much hostility. Could it be that he wanted to recruit me? No matter what, now was not the time to pretend to be a master. Just be honest and pretend to be a grandson! So Zhamu hurriedly bowed and said,"This boy is Zhamu. May I know who you are?"”
Tuan Zang was very satisfied with Zhamu's performance. Geniuses were always a little arrogant. Zhamu seemed to be really good. He nodded and smiled,"En, I'm called Tuan Zang, the person in charge of Muye's 'root', and also Muye's elder.”
"So it's Lord Tuanzang. May I know why you called me here?”Zha Mu said with his body still hunched.
"Haha, Zhamu, have you heard of the organization 'Root'?”Tuan Zang didn't answer Zha Mu's question but asked him instead.
Zhamu nodded." I've heard a little about it. I admire an organization like Root! They were the real heroes, the nameless heroes of Muye! Only they could be called true ninjas!”As the saying goes, flattery will not wear, so Zhamu praised him immediately.
When Tuanzang heard Zhamu's words, his originally ashen heart suddenly relaxed. Root was Muye's nameless hero. He said it so well. He was really a good child! Tuan Zang was even more satisfied with Zhamu! "Zhamu, do you have any wishes?”
Zha Mu thought, could it be that Tuan Zang really wanted to rope him in? That's right. His performance this time should have explained some problems. At least it showed that he had a very bright future and was a stock with potential! Zuo Mu then said," Sir, I don't have any wishes. It's just that my brother's strength is too weak. If he goes to the battlefield, he will only lose his life, so I hope that he can live well."”
Tuan Zang nodded and asked,""Zhamu, have you ever thought of letting your brother join the Elder Committee?”
Zha Mu's heart immediately jumped wildly. What was the most awesome identity in Muye? Of course it was Naruto, but there was only one Naruto! Then there were the elders. As for Mu Ye, their authority was no less than Naruto's. Therefore, the various large families would fight to the death to snatch those few spots. If he became an elder, at least his brother's safety would not be threatened.
"Our family has no achievements in Muye, so what qualifications do we have to be an elder?"”
"Hehe," said Tuan Zang. Zhamu, you don't believe in my strength?”
Zha Mu looked at Tuan Zang's wrinkled old face and shook his head.""No, it's just that this kind of thing is too shocking! I can't believe it!"
Tuan Zang looked at Zha Mu and said,"Zha Mu, follow me!"”
Zha Mu frowned. Who should he choose between Naruto and Tanzo?
