Naruto: Legend of Jiraiya

Chapter 45
"How could there be no one... Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Dolphin ghost muttered in a low voice.

He wanted to board the ship to investigate in person, but he was also worried that there might be strange things inside. Although Dolphin Ghost doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, the world is so big that there are no surprises.Take the Flying Dutchman as an example. It has been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, and some even claim to have seen it with their own eyes. If they really encountered it, what would happen to them, it’s hard to say...

The dolphin ghost hesitated again and again, but finally did not dare to board the ship.

"come here!"

A soldier came up close.

Dolphin ghost asked him: "You said...they disappeared after chasing here?"

"Yes, Mr. Gugui, there are two people in total. One is fat and the other is thin. The thin one seems to be a woman..."

"Female?" The dolphin snorted. "Female, hehe, female is good, it just happens to be able to kill everything!"

"Qing! I let you stare at someone, is there any movement?"

Qing replied: "Mr. Report, Terumi Mei has been staying at home and has never gone out. I think there may be someone else who saved his father!"

"Are you sure?" Dolphin Ghost asked.

Qing replied with certainty: "Sure! Before we left, she was still at home!"

Dolphin Ghost originally thought that her daughter Terumi Mei was the one who rescued the fugitive, but after hearing what Qing said, it seemed to be someone else.

"Everyone listen to the order and continue chasing me eastward!"

"Yes! Mr. Dolphin..."

The group of thieves "swish" a few times and drove eastward.

Jiraiya poked his head out and wondered, "There's no reason, even if you're not from the Hyuga clan, but at such a close distance, it's impossible for you to be blind..."

"He's pretending not to see!" said the girl's father. "Qing used to be my good friend. Half a year ago, he suddenly joined the porpoise ghost's assassination team. Not long after that, I was secretly arrested..."

Zilai also thought about it: "Did he harm you?"

The man frowned and let out a sigh of relief. "In the past, I thought so too. But just now, I understood that at the beginning, he must have seen some news about me by using supercilious eyes, but for some reason, he couldn't tell me directly. That's why I chose to break into the porpoise ghost and find another chance to save me!"

His daughter also added on the side: "No wonder there are so few people in the dungeon today, and, Dad, your situation was also told to me by a mysterious person. He kept telling me about you with notes, so I was able to go so smoothly." rescued you..."

Ji Lai also slapped his thigh. "It's definitely the case. I said why he can't see us. He must be pretending! It seems...this man called 'Qing' is a good person..."

"Ah... I'm so confused, I still scolded him at the beginning... Sigh..."

"Father, don't blame yourself too much. At that time, you didn't know the details, so..."

The man misunderstood his friend, felt ashamed, and scolded himself for being nothing.Thinking of Qing's words, he suddenly awakened! "Xiaomei, hurry up, hurry back to the village, before they find out... hurry up..."

Zilai also wondered: "Hey, hey, aren't you afraid that she will be killed by the porpoise ghost? You let her go back... Isn't this self-inflicted trap!"

The man explained: "Master Ziraiya, you don't know something, the little girl is... she... well, I don't hide it from you until now, the little girl's name is Terumi Mei, and she is a blood successor limit that is rare in the land of water. For the sake of this war, people will not hurt her for the time being..."

"No way, brother, Blood Successor Boundary is rare, but it's not indispensable. Those people want to kill you and kill your daughter. Hmph... I think it's just a matter of time!"

"No!" The man was very confident, "My daughter is not an ordinary blood-stained limit, she is a double blood-stained ninja who has both 'melting escape' and 'boiling escape' at the same time, the only one in the country of water. The reason why those people secretly arrested me..."

"Double Blood Inheriting Limitation..." Zilai also said in amazement, no wonder he is so confident, that's how it is...

That's right, the double bloodstain limit is indeed a rare event in a hundred years. The kingdom of water will definitely be treasured if it has this kind of ninja! "That is to say, they arrested you secretly, just to hide Terumi Mei, and then use it on the battlefield at an appropriate time?"

"That's right! Master Jiraiya is right! The reason why they arrested me is to use it as a bargaining chip to threaten my daughter at an appropriate time in the future!"

Zilai also laughed. "No wonder, no wonder these people will spare no effort to chase and kill you. They are afraid that Terumimei will know the truth of the matter, and they will not obey the orders of the higher-ups, right?"

"Well! It should be..." The man coughed a few times, and then said: "I am alive, and I am their bargaining chip. Now that I have escaped, I have become their hidden danger! In fact, it is not only for Xiaomei, there is another thing... "

"Oh? Can you tell me..." Jiraiya was originally ordered by the third generation to take the opportunity to find out information. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.

The man said: "I am in the country of water, and I belong to the peace faction. I and some people opposed the surprise attack on Konoha before, but helplessly, the high-level people refused to adopt it, and finally developed into a ninja war. From Since then, those main combat factions have begun to be dissatisfied with me, but it was only verbal at the time. Later, it was reported that a large number of population loss incidents occurred around and within the Kingdom of Water, and I began to investigate this matter with my companions. Who knows that I was secretly arrested by those people just after finding some clues..."

"The population is lost?" Ji Lai also asked in surprise, and hurriedly asked: "Did you find anything?"

"Not yet...only a dead body was found! But it's strange, the appearance of that corpse...is weird!"

"weird?"

"Yes!" The man tilted his head and thought for a while. "That corpse... doesn't look like it was killed by someone, nor does it look like it died of starvation. How should I put it, it gives me the feeling... skinny, with a strange expression, like... a small white mouse that has been experimented on of…"

Ji Lai also thought to himself, this kind of death is really strange, probably only Orochimaru can see the clues.

The man added: "When I found the body, there was a word written under him."

"Oh? What word?"

"snake!"

Ji Lai was also startled, snake?Could it be... no, maybe that person was bitten by a snake.

"Master Jiraiya, what's the matter with you?" Seeing his expression suddenly changed, the man asked with concern.

Zilai also shook his head and said, "Brother, you are right, let your daughter go back to the village first... If you don't worry, let me protect your safety, how about it?"

"This..." Terumi Mei was a little worried that his father was alone.

His father was very open-minded. "Xiaomei, don't worry, I'll be fine with Master Jiraiya! You'd better go back to the village quickly, otherwise, Qing will be severely punished if Pugui knows you're not at home..."

Terumi Mei is reluctant to part with her, but the safety of others is at stake, so she has to bear the heartache and part with her father.

Zilai also said: "Don't worry, with me here, your father will be fine. If something happens to him, I will pay you his head!"
