The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 240 Desperate Mother

"Yuzu, you're finally here."

When an aunt saw Yuzi coming in, she ran over eagerly, her face full of panic.

This aunt is the one who was already helping when Yuzu first opened the store. Eight or nine years have passed, and the small store at the time has become a large store today, which can be regarded as Konoha's number one. restaurant.

Yuzi also promoted this aunt to be the person in charge. When she was away, this aunt was in charge of the restaurant operation.

"What's the matter? Has something happened? Why hasn't everyone arrived yet?"

Aunt Huixiang's complexion was not good, and she hurriedly said: "Yuzi, haven't you heard the rumors?"

"Rumours? What rumors?" Yuzu looked blank, she really hadn't heard of it.

Aunt Huixiang pulled Youzi aside and said in a low voice: "Since yesterday, some rumors have spread in the village that the village is going to war with two other villages that are negotiating peace, and the fuse of all this is you Rikimaru at home."

"what?"

Yuzu turned pale with fright, and her face suddenly turned extremely pale.

She has lived in Muye Village for more than 30 years, and she knows the village very well, and she is very clear about the fear of war among ordinary people.

If because of Rikimaru, the war restarted, she could imagine how much people in the village would hate her son.

No wonder those people looked at her that way when he walked all the way before, so it was like this.

"Sister Huixiang, the restaurant is closed today, please close and let everyone go back."

After such a thing happened, Yuzi didn't have the heart to open a shop and start a business. After giving Huixiang an order, she hurried home.

Along the way, she felt strange gazes again, but she didn't care at all. Compared with her own son, she didn't care what others thought of her.

"Huh? Mom, didn't you just leave, why are you back?"

Riki didn't go to practice these few days, and stayed at home all the time. He was very surprised to see his mother who had gone and returned.

Yuzu looked nervous: "Riki, have you gone out today?"

Riki had a strange expression on his face: "No, Mom, why do you have such an ugly expression? Did something happen?"

Yuzu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Rikimaru, when I just went out......"

While listening, Rikimaru's expression was gloomy, but after listening, he calmed down instead.

"It's okay, mom, I can handle it, so don't worry about it." Riki reassured.

Yuzu scolded angrily: "Let me not worry? Then tell me, what are you going to do? Son, mother is not educated, but she is not a fool. I know better than you what kind of people are in the village. Someone poured dirty water on you on purpose, and you can't explain it at all."

"Hey, mom, you are very smart. You can see through the other party's tricks at a glance. It's amazing."

Slapping Li Wan's hand away, Yuzu said angrily: "It's already this time, you still have a playful smile, someone wants to ruin your reputation, why don't you care at all?"

Rikimaru's playful expression gradually became serious: "Why do you care? So what if you don't care? It's already like this, what do you think I can do to stop it?"

"Yeah, but you can't pass it on like this, your reputation will be completely ruined if you go on like this." Youzi was about to cry.

Riki shook his head: "There is no way, because this is the truth. Kirigakure and Sagakure want to use my life as a bargaining chip. No matter how I explain it, it is useless. These rumors are not aimed at me, but at the high-level people in the village. Force them to make a decision."

"Master Hokage, yes, yes, we can go to Master Hokage, hasn't he always valued you very much, we will definitely help you if we go to him." Yuzu burst into tears, pulling Rikimaru to go out.

But Rikimaru pulled her back, held her mother's hand with both hands, and said softly: "It's useless, Mom, it's useless, even if we go to Hokage now, it's useless. If he wants to save me, he can save me." To start a war with Kirigakure and Sand Hidden, this is the result that no one wants to see;

And if he doesn't want to save me, even if we go to him, it's useless. "

After Yuzu heard this, she cried even harder: "Then what should we do? Then what should we do? Master Jiraiya, Master Jiraiya is your teacher, and he will definitely be able to help you. Let's go find him."

Riki said seriously: "Mom, this time I don't want to trouble Teacher Ziraiya, he has helped me enough, I can't let him stand out every time, and this time, even he can't do anything."

"Is there really no other way?"

Youzi was crying. She never thought about why it became like this overnight. Yesterday, her son was still a young hero in others' mouths, but today, he became the fuse of war that everyone hates. Why? Will this happen?

"There is a way, but..."

Riki murmured, of course there is no solution, but he no longer has much expectations, the rumors have already spread, even if it can be eliminated, but what will others think of him in the future after such a thing happened? mother?

He doesn't need to care about it himself, but he can't let his mother be humiliated along with him.

"Really, ridiculous!"

………………

"Asshole, asshole, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him."

In Hokage's office, Jiraiya roared angrily. Besides him, there were three generations of Hokage, Tsunade and Orochimaru sitting in the office.

Seeing Jiraiya who was about to rush out, Sandai roared angrily: "Tsunade, Orochimaru, stop him for me."

Tsunade and Orochimaru immediately pulled Jiraiya back, and the angry Jiraiya shouted, "Don't stop me, don't stop me."

"Idiot, calm down!"

Tsunade shuddered, and walked back according to his own direction.

Although Jilai also sat down, his anger was obviously still there: "Old man, you have also seen that such a thing happened, are you prepared to do nothing?"

Sandai rubbed his temples on both sides, but did not answer.

Orochimaru said quietly: "It's useless, it's too late to say anything now, the rumors have already spread, and now the whole village knows about it, even if you want to save it, you can't save it."

"Hehe, it's really chilling to think about it. Although that boy Li Wan has some personality, he is also serving for the village. He has made great contributions in several wars, but now he has ended up like this. Compared with Bai Fang's situation at the beginning, I am afraid it is worse. bad."

"Oshemaru, shut up."

The third generation roared angrily: "It's already at this time, are you still saying these words, are you trying to make me mad?"

Orochimaru shrugged: "I'm just telling the truth, since you don't like to listen, teacher, then I just don't say anything."

The scene suddenly became frozen.
