Naruto: Legend of Jiraiya

Chapter 55 Borrowing Money
Everyone laughed and explained to him: "Don't worry, you just need to bring the toad to Yakura's house, and you will complete the task! We adults are too conspicuous, if we are seen by others, we will surely kill you." Suspected, but you are different, a brat, will not be targeted!"

Terumi Mei smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Chojuro, you can just do as usual, as long as you bring Mishitoad there, you'll be fine!"

Chojuro was too young and a little scared.I bowed my head and dared not speak anymore...

Lao Zhao said: "Changjuro, this is not only for us, but also to avenge your parents! As long as we succeed in the rebellion, I promise you, I will definitely take that dog thief, Gugui, and avenge your parents!"

Hearing this, Chojuro found courage from the bottom of his heart. "Well! I will definitely complete the task! Sister Ming, don't worry..."

Terumi smiled and took him into her arms.Comforting him, he said: "At noon, when the thieves are eating, you are going to look for Yakura! On the way, if someone asks you, you should say that you are borrowing money. It is very common for him to borrow money, remember?"

"Well, remember it!"

"Good job..." Terumi Mei stroked his head, and told him again, so he was relieved.

……

At noon, the houses were already filled with smoke, and Changjuro put the toad in his pocket according to the original plan. In order to hide the eyes and ears, Changjuro also carried a small bag with a bunch of sundries and everything in it.

As soon as he left the house, Chojuro's heart skipped a beat, plop, plop, faster and faster.

Chojuro closed the courtyard door, recalling what Terumi Mei told him, if you get scared, take a few deep breaths when no one is around.

Sure enough, after taking several deep breaths, Chojuro improved a lot.Thinking that he could avenge his parents soon, he naturally gained some confidence.

As in the past, Chojuro walked slowly along the roadside and greeted acquaintances as usual, but now it was lunch time, and there were not many acquaintances to meet. To Changjuro's relief, no one asked What he is going to do depends on what he is doing in the past, maybe Chojuro will feel a sense of loneliness, but now, what he thinks most in his heart is that no one should ask him what he is doing.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed towards him bravely.

When Changjuro saw this, his face turned green with fright.It's not good to think in my heart, has my behavior been exposed?

Changjuro hurriedly turned his face away, not daring to look at those soldiers. After a burst of eager footsteps, those people all ran to the east...

Chojuro let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and thought: "I was scared to death, I thought they were here to arrest me..."

Dodging these people, and walked another street, I saw that the situation here was similar, people coming and going, all of them were brave soldiers. At that time, Chojuro couldn't tell the members of the Anbu, the police, etc. It is called Bingyong.

Chojuro thought to himself, why are there so many soldiers coming and going today? What happened?Forget it, let’s not worry about these things for now, right now, the most important thing is to complete the task assigned to me by Sister Ming, so let’s go to Yagura’s house quickly...

……

When they arrived at the gate, Chojuro and the four guards said that they wanted to see Lord Yakura...

Seeing that he was young, the guard asked, "Who are you? What can I do with Your Excellency Yakura?"

"I...I want to borrow some...money..." Changjuro's voice was very low, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, the guard felt distressed. "Wait a minute, I'll report!"

After finishing speaking, let the other three people watch.When the three saw Changjuro, they also had their own opinions.

"Oh... such a small child has become an orphan, how pitiful..."

"You know him?"

"Yes, my second uncle lives on the same street as his family. I heard that his parents were killed because he offended some people a few years ago. Now, he is the only child left. It is estimated that in the past few years, the family My savings are gone, otherwise why would I come to Yakura-dono to borrow money..."

Another guard said: "Oh... that's the case, no wonder, no wonder. By the way, Lord Yakura is really a good person. Even though the money I gave to others these years is enough for my ten-year salary!"

……

Those few people chatted happily, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, they immediately stopped talking, stood up straight, did not say a word, looked very serious.

Although Chang Shilang was young, he could tell that the person who left just now was probably their captain. Now that the captain came back, they naturally didn't dare to make noise in private.

"That kid, come with me..."

The man waved his hand and called Chojuro to come in. "Follow me for a while, don't run around, I will take you to see Your Excellency Yakura."

"Oh, yes..." Chojuro promised, full of promises.Follow that person and go inside.

Passing through a garden, there is a long corridor. At the corner of the corridor, there is another small door. The man led Chojuro through the small door, walked two more yards, and then saw the main courtyard.

The main courtyard is much more grand than what I saw before. Although Chojuro's family is rich, it is indeed insignificant compared with Yakura. The few other courtyards outside are already much bigger than Chojuro's house. What's more, what's more, this main courtyard is really high walls and green tiles, solemn and majestic, a serious scene!
Changjuro thought to himself, no wonder the guide told him not to let him run around. When outsiders come here, they may not be able to find the exit!

dong dong dong...

The man knocked lightly on the door a few times, and a gentle voice came from inside. "come in…"

"Yes, Lord Yagura!"

The man led Changjuro into the house, bypassed the living room, and found a large study room. There were many books and bookcases of various sizes in the study room, which were very rich.

"Your Excellency Yagura, this kid is looking for you..." The man announced, turned and left.

Chojuro looked up and saw that he was not tall and looked very young. He thought to himself, at his age, he was not much older than me. Could it be that he was Yakura?By the way, sister Ming said that Yakura's age and appearance don't match, so the person in front of him must be Yakura!
"Your Excellency Yakura, my name is Chojuro..."

Yagura bowed and left his seat, very kindly. "Changjuro, you don't have to be cautious. Your father and I are good friends. I hugged you when you were full moon..."

"Oh? Your Excellency Yagura knows me?" Chojuro wondered.

"Yeah, Changjuro, I also know about your family's affairs. Your parents died unjustly. Before they had an accident, there was a business that was not completed. I helped to facilitate it later. I also ordered people to save the money. After arriving at your account, logically, you should still be able to use it for three to five years without any problem, now, why do you want to borrow money from me? Could something happen at home?"

Only then did Changjuro realize that this is how the money in his account came from. No wonder no one said he didn’t know. Yakura must have helped secretly, but he was afraid that the porpoise ghost and other thieves would find out, so he secretly ordered someone to help. I am really a good person!
"Your Excellency Yagura, I have something for you!"
