Looking at the corpses of the couple, Yuan Feiri Zhan's tears flowed freely as he looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
"Maybe, maybe this is good."
Ye Ying was right. If he, Naruto, was left to deal with it, he might not be able to take good care of the children of Shuimen due to many factors.
The impact of today's incident was too great. He would not even reveal the child's true identity.
Watergate... Sigh.
After arranging for people to properly bury the bodies of the Shuimen couple, Yuan Fei and Ri Zhan walked towards the village with a frown.
Ye Ying carried Naruto and returned home immediately, only to find that the home of the Wave Feng Shui Sect was actually his former home. He shook his head helplessly. Was this a coincidence?
He looked at the sleeping baby and laughed bitterly.
"What am I doing? I came to find you out of nothing and ended up with such a little brat.”
Although he said that, Ye Ying gently hugged Naruto and shook him slowly, afraid that he would wake this little thing up.
At the end of the day, although Ye Ying did as he pleased and did not follow the rules, humans were not plants, who could be heartless.
Thinking of Naruto's tragic past when he was a child, looking at the sacrifices of Shuimen and Kushina, Ye Ying did not know what was wrong with himself, but he took the initiative to take on this trouble.
" Tch, Teacher Feijian saw through this point of mine, that's why he wanted to use the third generation Naruto's position to change and tie me up in the village, right? There's also that bastard Yuan Fei. He looks troubled, but he probably can't wait to use this little brat to tie me down. Now, it can be considered that he's on a pirate ship. He dug a hole and jumped into it. Sigh.”
Ye Ying muttered to himself as he gently tapped Naruto's tender little face.
"You little bastard, if you don't show filial piety to me when you grow up in the future, I'll beat your little butt!”
It was just Ye Ying mocking himself.
As long as he was unwilling to do something, no one could force him to do it, even if the second-generation Fiery Shadow Door was resurrected.
Stubborn but tender.
"All of you are fools. Other than sacrificing yourself, can't you think of any other solution? That's why I say that Naruto is indeed the biggest fool. Haha, if Teacher Casement was still alive, he would definitely give me a long speech.”
As he rummaged through the baby's belongings, the scene of the Watergate couple's death kept replaying in his mind.
Fortunately, the Watergate family was well-prepared, so they did not have to worry about a shortage of Naruto's daily necessities in the short term.
"Ye Ying, you are indeed here…"
Just as Ye Ying was holding a small milk bottle to feed Naruto, Yuan Fei and Sun Slash's figure appeared at the door.
"Why? The casualty statistics and consolation work in the village have been completed so quickly?”Ye Ying didn't even raise his head.
Yuan Fei Sun Slash did not care about Ye Ying's attitude at all. He sat down on his knees on the tatami and took a deep puff of his cigarette.
Ye Ying frowned.
"Smoke outside."
“...”
The Flying Ape Sun Slash was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the baby Naruto. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, casually extinguishing the tobacco pipe.
"Erm, Ye Ying, I've already sent someone to inform the old guards from back then. Come with me to the office later.”
"Oh."
“... When I have time, I want to let you know in advance.”
"Speak."
"About this child…"
Yuan Fei Sun Slash looked at the expressionless Ye Ying. After hesitating for a moment, he still said it.
"I personally have no objections to you raising this child. It's just that, considering many factors, his name is probably..."
Without waiting for Yuan Fei to finish, Ye Ying interrupted coldly.
"Are you trying to say that you want him to change his surname?"
"Yes, I heard from Zirai and Shuimen that this child will be called Naruto after birth. How about calling him Naruto Uzumaki?”
Ye Ying didn't reply, but just kept sneering.
When Flying Ape Sun Slash saw the situation, he knew in his heart that wanting to pass Ye Ying's round was probably not going to be easy.
However, in the current situation in the village, even though Shuimen was a noble Naruto, he had many enemies in his life. Once someone knew that Naruto was his child, and that it was the Nine-Tailed Pillar of Strength, he was afraid that it would be detrimental to this child.
After expounding his worries in detail, Yuan Fei Sun Slash carefully sized up Ye Ying.
After so many years, Ye Ying was still the same as he remembered. On the other hand, he was much older.
"Are you done?"
“... Ah, yes."
Ye Ying's eyes rolled up, his sharp gaze piercing straight into Yuan Fei Sun Slash's heart.
"I don't agree. This child will be called Windwave.”
"Ye Ying…"
"There's no need to say anything more. Your worries are reasonable, but do you think I care? With me by this child's side, I'll kill whoever dares to harm him.”
"You, why are you still the same? There are many things that we can't act on our own. There are many aspects that need to be considered and deliberated. After all, the stability of the village is the most important.”
"Yuan Fei, you're really starting to get old. As Teacher Fei Jian's disciple, when did you have to consider problems from such an angle? The truth is the truth. You can't hide it at all. As the third generation Naruto, you don't want to shelter the hero's descendants from the wind and rain, nor do you want to clear his name. Instead, you want to use this kind of compromise to maintain stability. On the surface, you say that it's for the good of the child, but what about in reality? Don't tell me you're not selfish at all.”
Shocked by Ye Ying's words until he was stunned, Yuan Fei let out a long sigh.
It wasn't that he didn't know that doing so was unfair to Naruto and even to the Watergate couple, but he really had his own difficulties.
Although he was Naruto, there were some things that he had to consider.
" Ye Ying, I admit that I'm not as brave as I used to be. The third battle of the Ninja Realm just ended not long ago, and the village needs time to recuperate. Peace is hard to come by. You haven't experienced those bitter battles, so of course you can say it so easily. You haven't been Naruto before, so you don't have to think so much, but I can't. As the third generation Naruto, I have things that I have to consider.”
Ye Ying was noncommittal. What Flying Ape Sun Slash said seemed to make sense, but it was just unreasonable!
The Watergate couple willingly sacrificed themselves for the village. That was their business, but why should they involve their children?
Moreover, did the village really care about Naruto when he was young?
Expired milk, ice-cold instant noodles, hateful gazes, and disdainful coldness. Was this the treatment he deserved?
"Hmph, don't use these high-sounding words to pressure me. You know that I've never fallen for this. You are Naruto, but let me tell you, as long as I am in Muye, this child will be called Windwave! Not only that, I also want to tell everyone that he is the son of the fourth generation Naruto, and the disciple of me, Ye Ying!”
“... You, you, sigh..."
Facing Ye Ying's strength, Yuan Fei Sun Slash was helpless.
He was worried about too many things.
He was even more afraid that his words would be inappropriate and drive away Ye Ying who had just returned. If that happened, it would be a huge loss for Mu Ye.
Moreover, after the second generation Fiery Shadow Thousand Hands Door passed away, he, Yuan Fei Ri Zhan, was promoted to Fiery Shadow during the few years of blank period. The entire Muye was Ye Ying taking over Fiery Shadow's duties. If not for Ye Ying insisting on not being Fiery Shadow, he, Yuan Fei Ri Zhan, would not have had the chance to do so no matter what.
