"Zaita!!" A girl with short golden hair, about 10 years old, stood with her hands on her hips, watching the boy running around wildly, and said unhappily, "Do not forget the mission the clan leader gave us."
He actually has so much free time to go shopping...
It is really a headache!
You must know the clan leader is still waiting for their news!!
"Do not be so strict." The little boy looked around curiously. It is really lively here!
You must know, when he went to the capital of the Land of Fire for a mission, he never saw such prosperous and interesting streets...
Here...
There really are so many things!!
Then, he turned his head, looked at the little girl, and said casually, "Do you know why Uncle Atsushi suddenly left us behind?"
"Uncle Atsushi?" The little girl frowned, looked at Zaita, and said, "Did he not leave us behind because bringing us was inconvenient for investigating dangerous places?"
Who knows how Uncle's investigation is going?
Is there any danger?
The little girl sighed inwardly...
"I hope nothing happens~"
"..."
Hearing the little girl's words, Zaita rolled his eyes and said displeased, "Zuiling ah!"
He shook his head...
"After following Uncle Atsushi for so long, do you still not know??"
He glanced around and said quietly, "He must have gone to drink and enjoy women's company now!!"
That perverted uncle...
Does he not know him well??
He actually said something like those places are the best for understanding a country's real situation...
Hah!!
Zaita curled his lip disdainfully...
If you do not take me, how could I possibly know!!
Zuiling widened her eyes and looked at Zaita, saying in an incredulous tone, "How can you all be like this!!"
"What about the clan leader's mission?"
She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Zaita with anger...
"Are we not going to complete it? The clansmen are all still waiting for us!"
Men are all a bunch of unreliable pigs!!
Clearly she is so serious about carrying out the mission, but in the end...
She is the only one being serious!
"Hey hey!!" Hearing Zuiling's words, Zaita immediately became unhappy and said, "I did not go ah!!"
You must know he is still a minor!!
How can you unjustly slander someone's innocence?
But...
"You are also an unreliable pig!!" Zuiling glared at him with a threatening look and said, "Hmm??"
You still dare to talk back? Believe it or not, I will hit you!!
"..."
He, Tsuchigumo Zaita, as a man, has decided not to bother arguing with this woman!!
He turned his head away...
Why does there always seem to be a smelly smell drifting past??
"Stinky tofu, stinky tofu, authentic Uzushio stinky tofu."
"Smells bad, tastes delicious, specially made by Lord Jun. Everyone who has tried it says it is good!!"
"..."
Zaita moved closer, listened for a while, and muttered, "Food??"
So smelly, how could anyone possibly like to eat it?
Really strange, listening to this...
This is actually some kind of gourmet food!?
"Uncle Atsushi is not carrying out the mission, but we cannot follow his example!!" Zuiling walked over, pinched Zaita's ear, and said, "You come with me to gather information!!"
"Eh eh!!" Zaita's ear hurt from the pinching, and he quickly said, "Let go!!"
Then, he rubbed his reddened ear and looked at Zuiling resentfully...
If he had known earlier, he would have followed Uncle Atsushi.
Really...
How annoying!!
"Why is it so smelly??" Zuiling frowned, sniffed, immediately covered her nose, and said, "So smelly! Let us quickly leave this place."
"Stinky?!" Hearing Zuiling's words, Zaita's eyes lit up, and he narrowed his eyes. He remembered that whenever Zuiling smells something stinky, she feels nauseous...
Suddenly...
He...
Had a great idea!!
"Indeed, we cannot learn from Uncle Atsushi!"
He nodded, looking righteously at Zuiling, and said, "That perverted uncle truly has no ninja ethics!"
"Since that is the case..." Although Zuiling was curious about why Zaita suddenly changed, this place was really too smelly, so...
It was better to leave quickly. Her stomach was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable~
"Of course." Zaita nodded and said, "But..."
"My stomach is a bit hungry. Let us go over there to eat something first!"
Without waiting for Zuiling to answer, he directly turned and ran towards...
"Stinky tofu, delicious stinky tofu..."
He ran over!!
...
Bar entrance...
Uncle A frowned, looking at the sign in front of him that read "Red Bar"…
How is this different from the places he goes to drink?
And...
The lighting inside does not seem to be pink either!
"Blue, red, hmm?? There is pink?" The middle-aged man was stunned and muttered, "Is this a special feature of Uzushio??"
Indeed...
Being able to defeat the combined forces of the Five Great Ninja Villages must mean there is something special!!
Immediately, he felt excited inside...
He wanted to see what excitement... ahem, what useful information he could gather here!!
You must know, it is in these kinds of places that you can understand the real situation of a country!!
He touched his bulging wallet...
The reward money saved from missions the past few days should be enough, right!!
Then...
Chest out and head held high, putting on an air of being a big shot, he walked in...
...
"Everything should be properly arranged with Minato and Orochimaru, right?" Uzumaki Jun said while walking on the road, greeting the common people along the way. Then, he turned his head, looked at Uzumaki Hibiki, and said, "These two people must be watched closely. There absolutely cannot be any accidents."
You must know...
Geniuses always cause trouble!!
Who knows if they really have some method to escape?
"Already told Kai." Uzumaki Hibiki nodded and said, "And following your instructions, special seals were placed on them. If they leave the designated area, an alarm will immediately sound."
"Even so, we must be careful." Uzumaki Jun narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Once anything seems wrong..."
Act directly...
He does not want them to escape before things are done!!
So...
Today he plans to go see if they are staying put obediently...
...
"Sigh!" Jiraiya poured a cup of wine into his mouth, sighed, and then...
Slapped the cup onto the table and said loudly, "Refill!!"
Konoha...
One of the Three Great Ninja Villages!
Coupled with the heavy losses in this war, who knows if the old man can pull through?
So...
He has decided...
Tomorrow he will return to the village to take a look.
"This lord has plenty of money!" Jiraiya swayed slightly drunk and said, "Quickly, bring me the strongest liquor!"
As for Tsunade...
He did not go ask her. If she still truly thinks of Konoha in her heart, she would definitely think the same as him and return to help.
However...
"Lord Jiraiya..." The bartender took out a bill, gently pushed the wine glass away, slapped it on the bar, narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Since Lord Jiraiya has money now, should these debts be paid?"
Damn it, you have owed for almost a year. If not for seeing you have a proper job, who would lend to you??
And...
You got paid but still did not repay??
"Hehe." Jiraiya came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said apologetically, "Recent expenses have been a bit high. Do not worry, in a few days I will go carry out a mission." He patted his chest. "I will definitely come back to repay the money!"
"Did you not say this lord has money?" The bartender said sidelong, tone flat. "Since you have money, why not hurry up and repay?"
Repay the money!
Otherwise I will call the police!
"This, this..." Jiraiya was stunned, then glanced at the wine glass beside him and said, "I drank until I became confused~"
Seeing the bartender's expression about to turn angry, he quickly turned around, preparing to slip away when...
Jiraiya's eyes suddenly lit up, looking at a middle-aged man walking in from the door...
His face showed confusion, puzzlement, and curiosity...
Jiraiya's mouth immediately revealed a smile...
This is a newcomer!
Then...
"Rest assured, today I will definitely pay the wine money." Jiraiya sat back down in his seat, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I am the Toad Sage, one of Konoha's Sannin, Jiraiya!!"
Reputation guaranteed...
Definitely...
