Naruto: Legend of Jiraiya

Chapter 46
Ji Lai also saw that he was young, but his tone was not small, so he couldn't help but feel disbelief, the man saw Zi Lai Ye's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Ai, ai, don't believe me, what I said is true!"

"Our family has six generations of ancestors who are all businessmen. The last three generations have spent most of their time traveling to and from the Land of Water. Let me just say that in the last year, there must be... um... at least twenty times. Do business in the land of water!"

"Oh? Brother, you are sure to get rich... But I don't know, what kind of business do you do? Let's hear it..."

The man looked bitter. "Oh... what a fortune, it's almost as good as a funeral..."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Gudong, Gudong...

The man drank a few sips of wine, handed it to Zilaiye, and as soon as Zilaiye waved his hand, he heard the man cry, "Oh... the business is doing well, but, but I just can't get the money back..."

"Can't you get your money back?"

"Yeah!" The man nodded helplessly. "The high-level executives of the country of water, don't know what's wrong. They used to be good. A while ago, they suddenly turned their backs. Not only did they deduct most of my goods, they even refused to pay the 10 taels that I owed last time. It's..."

"Is there such a thing?" Zilai also asked strangely.

"Isn't it... Did you see that boatman?" The man secretly pointed at the boatman who just beat him. "That grandson is worse than a bald-tailed dog! It can be seen how bad the system of the country of water is..."

Zilai also thought about it, this is really the case, if a little boatman is so arrogant, then his master is not even more arrogant and domineering!
"Brother...why are you still going to the Land of Water?"

The man said: "I can't just don't want all of them. I'm thinking of asking the daimyo of the country of water through my relationship this time, and maybe I can get the goods back. As for the 10 taels of payment... oh... how much can I ask for?" ..."

"Do you know anyone in the country of water?"

"Well! After so many years of business, I still know some people... By the way, brother, what are you doing here?"

Jilai didn't hide it either, and smiled slightly.

"Send a letter!"

"Send the letter?" The man was puzzled, and asked again: "Who are you sending the letter to?"

"The third generation of water shadows!"

"Ah???" The man turned pale when he heard that, and stammered, "You...then you are... the special envoy of the Kingdom of Water?"

Zilai was also taken aback, thinking that this guy must have thought I was from Mizukage, and that's why he was so frightened.

"Haha...don't worry, I'm not from the Land of Water, I'm from Konoha! I'm just sending a letter to the Land of Water..."

"Oh!...It scared me to death, I thought you belonged to them..." The man let out a long breath and smiled awkwardly.

Ji Lai also asked him, "What do you mean...their people?"

The man covered his mouth, as if he missed something.It can be seen that Jilai is also more friendly, and he is also a Konoha person, and then he slowly relaxes.

"Let me tell you, there are a group of people in Wuyin Village who are very mysterious and vicious! Anything that is not good for them, even if it's just a small thing like a sesame mung bean, they will never let you go!"

"Have you seen them?" Ji Lai also asked.

The man said: "No, no... just heard that some businessmen died in the inn the next day because they said something wrong, not to mention how miserable the death..."

Zilai also thought that most of the folk rumors are exaggerated and exaggerated. He said that the businessman was killed, which is probably true, but it was just because he said something wrong, which may be a bit nonsense...

Ji Lai also asked again: "Brother, then I want to send the letter to the third generation of Mizukage, who should I report to? You also know that if I say something wrong, my head may not be safe. La!…"

Jiraiya deliberately pretended to be very scared, and his purpose was to learn more about the situation in the country of water through this businessman.After all, asking for information from acquaintances is the most direct and effective.

The man thought about it, but he didn't want to be troublesome, so he said a few perfunctory words: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I'm a small businessman, and I don't know any high-level people. I'm afraid I can't help you with this... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Ji Lai also had a few polite words with him, and said in his heart: You are a grandson, I will give you 99 points.I can ask someone to find a big name, but say that I don’t know the high-level personnel, you treat me as a three-year-old child.

But Zilai also knew in his heart that that person didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he just wanted to protect himself.So he didn't tell the other party's lies, and everyone saved each other's face.

"Let's sail, let's sail, everyone sit down!..." the boatman greeted.

Jilai also waited for a group of people to sit down one after another, just waiting for the boat to go.

At this time, a voice came from the official ship, which Zilai also heard very familiar.

"Have you seen any suspicious people?"

When the boatman saw the big man, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile. "No, no, with you Lord Piggy in charge, who would dare to make trouble! Hey, hey..."

"Hmph! Don't be so talkative! Hurry up and sail!"

"Oh, yes, yes..."

Jilai also turned his head away, deliberately turning his back on the Xiguashan puffer ghost, for fear of being discovered by him.

It's not that Zilai is also afraid of him, it's just that he wants to secretly investigate the situation in the kingdom of water first, and then deliver the letter.If it is discovered by the porcupine ghost here, it may be difficult to carry out the secret investigation...

"Let's sail..."

The boatman yelled and went to the country of water.

The small boats were able to set sail a long time ago. There is an unwritten rule in the country of no water resistance. When the official ship is here, the ordinary small boats can only sail after the official ship is dispatched. Therefore, everyone waited for a long time before they departed.

After half a day, they could already see the wharf of the country of water, and everyone was speechless all the way because the official ship was nearby.

……

After disembarking, everyone went home, those who stayed in the inn, and Zilai also came to the man, said a few words of courtesy, and then parted from him.

Ji Lai also pretended to stay at the hotel, but in fact he followed that person secretly, trying to find the relationship behind him.

Going deep into the hinterland, lurking and probing, is Jiraiya's forte.

His penetration technique, when he is free, is used to spy on beautiful women taking a bath, and when he has a mission, he uses it to spy on information.

Sure enough, the businessman didn't notice anyone following him at all, he looked left and right to make sure no one was following him, and then he came to a small shop.

The location of this small shop is very hidden, if it is not for the locals, it may be difficult to find this place.

Zilai also saw that person enter the second floor of the small shop, jumped up to the roof with a very light footstep, even the sleeping cat in the small shop did not notice any movement...

"Dong dong dong..."

After a knock on the door, there was an old woman's voice inside.

"Who is it?"

"It's me!" replied the man.

"come in…"

Squeak.

The door was pushed open, and the man walked in gently. "This time, I really want to trouble you... Mrs. Daming..."

Madam daimyo?Zilai was also shocked.I go!Is the Kingdom of Water so corrupt?The daimyo's wife actually accepts bribes in person, if this is in Konoha, her head must be beheaded!

Jiraiya was listening hard, when suddenly, someone patted his back lightly. "Master Ziraiya?"

"Huh? Who is it???"
