Naruto: Legend of Jiraiya

Chapter 54 Mystery
"It's impossible!" Terumi Mei's answer was firm and confident!
Ji Lai was also stunned, not knowing why they reacted this way.

Lao Zhao explained: "The daimyo's wife passed away two years ago. At that time, I presided over the funeral!...Moreover, Xiaomei and those young girls who were not married were also present..."

"What?" Ji Lai was also surprised.I thought, what's going on?Is it possible that the famous wife is a 'live rice dumpling'?Or after the death of the original partner, the daimyo secretly found the mistress again?
"Then...the name of the kingdom of water doesn't have a continuation?"

"No... I've never heard of it!" Except for Jiraiya, the heads of the three people shook like rattles.

"Hey! That's strange..." Jiraiya said: "When I first arrived in the country of water, I ran into a businessman, and then followed him by accident, and arrived at a small hotel. At that time, I could hear clearly, that The businessman really called out the words 'Mrs. Daimyo'..."

Terumi Mei said: "Then did you see her later? What does she look like?"

"I didn't see it. Later... I was delayed by other things..."

Jirai also recalled the child wearing glasses, and asked them if they had seen it before. Terumimei and his daughter shook their heads, but Comrade Xiaoqing said that he had some impressions.

"I really want to see him once at the pier... That kid looks fair and polite, so I'm very impressed..."

"Who is he?" Ji Lai also asked eagerly.

"No, I don't know, although I've seen it before, but that kid doesn't seem to be from the local area!" Qing shook his head and suddenly came up with an idea. "By the way, you can ask Chojuro, that child is about the same age as Chojuro, maybe he knows him?"

"Xiaomei, go and bring Chojuro here...be careful!"

"Hmm..." Terumi Mei followed his father's order and went to find Chojuro.

……

"Chojuro, Chojuro, wake up..."

"Hmm..." Chojuro rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. "It's Sister Ming...Huh? Why did you come out?"

"Changjuro, my father has something to ask you, follow me to the basement..."

"oh oh…"

Chojuro put on his clothes and followed him to the basement.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Terumi Mei pulled back the curtains so as not to be seen suspiciously.

When he arrived at the place, Ji Lai also waited for someone to ask Changjuro: "Little ghost, there is a kid who is about your age, do you know him? He wears a pair of glasses, speaks very gentle, and looks fair. ..."

Chojuro thought back to his companions, there were quite a few who wore glasses, but they were not fair-looking. "I don't know, I shouldn't know..."

"Think about it again, have you ever seen that person besides your friends?"

Changjuro tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Does that person have any characteristics?"

Jilai also said: "In terms of characteristics...white hair, the most conspicuous thing is his glasses, which are two big round glasses! How about it, do you remember anything?"

"Oh... I seem to have seen him, yes, yes, I remembered, his white hair is very shiny, I remembered, I have indeed seen him!"

"Oh? Where is it?" Everyone asked eagerly.

"At...at the pier..." Chojuro said. "I remember that time, when my companion and I went swimming near the pier, suddenly a child drowned, and that child rescued him at that time! Yes, yes, it was him! We were all about the same age at that time, and only he could stand on the water !"

"You mean...he knows ninjutsu?" Jiraiya asked strangely.

"Well, well, it should be. At that time, our children also thought he was very good. He can stand on the water at such a young age. He must know ninjutsu!"

Jiraiya was shocked, even in Konoha's school, it is impossible to learn ninjutsu at such a young age.Is that kid really from Danzo?
"Any other information, Changjuro, just tell me, as long as it is related to him!" Zilai also asked.

Chojuro clapped his hands sharply. "That's right! There is one more thing, I am particularly impressed!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"It's a person next to that child! I remember that he came with a man at that time. The man was tall and thin, probably... about [-] or so. What impressed me the most was his eyes!"

"Eye?" Jiraiya thought to himself, could it be Danzo's eye?No, Danzo is not tall enough to be [-].

Ji Lai also guessed wildly, and heard Chojuro say again: "That adult's eyes... very, very cold... Oh, how should I put it, it feels like... the eyes of a boa constrictor..."

"What!" Zira was horrified, thinking, after hearing Chojuro's description, why does that adult look so much like Orochimaru...

"Master Jiraiya, what's the matter with you?" Terumi Mei asked.

Ji Lai also asked Chojuro, "Does that lord have long hair, an oval face, a tall and thin body, and a very low voice?"

"Yes, yes!" Chojuro nodded. "The man's voice was very gloomy. I remember he called that kid 'Key' or something..."

"Key?" Everyone was puzzled, seeing that Zi Lai Ye seemed to know that person, they asked: "Master Zi Lai Ye, do you know that lord?"

"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, he should be... Dai-Snake-Maru!!!"

"What! Orochimaru? It's... Orochimaru, one of Konoha Sannin together with you?" Old Zhao asked in surprise.

"Well...it should be..."

Ji Lai also wondered, shouldn't Orochimaru be performing defensive tasks at the border?How could he come to the land of water?
Moreover, that kid also said that he was a subordinate of Orochimaru, but later denied it, saying that he was a subordinate of Danzo. What is going on?

"Master Ziraiya, did you think of anything?" Old Zhao asked when he saw the strange expression on his face.

Jiraiya told them that according to Chojuro's description, that adult is likely to be his companion, Orochimaru!But as for the kid with glasses, he didn't know.

So about the matter of "Mrs. Daimyo", after Jiraiya and others asked Chojuro, not only did there not make any progress, but also added a lot of mysteries.

"Let's see it this way, everyone!" Jiraiya said to them with a serious expression on his face, "Let's put the matter of that child aside for now. Since we can't find any evidence of the name's crime here, we might as soon Join forces with Yakura to see if there is any evidence related to the daimyo on his side. If there is, then it will be easy to deal with. Even if there is no, it is convenient for us to gather together to make trouble at any time. What do you think? , bro?"

Lao Zhao nodded and agreed. After analysis, after the Yakura incident, it was inevitable to become the fourth generation of Mizukage. The biggest beneficiary of this incident was undoubtedly Yakura, so there was no need to observe its true intention.

But for the sake of safety, everyone still decided to entrust this important task to the most inconspicuous Chojuro!

"I come???"

Chojuro was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, he thought to himself, I am so young and I don't know ninjutsu, how can I complete such a heavy task?
