Naruto: Legend of Jiraiya

Chapter 74

Jiraiya opened the scroll, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his face became serious.He shook his head, opened his eyes wide and looked again. "Ah...how did this happen, this, this...how did this happen!"

Seeing him gnashing his teeth and his complexion heavy, everyone knew that something must have happened.Tsunade hurriedly asked him, "What happened?"

Zilai also suppressed his grief, choked up and said, "Those three children...died yesterday..."

"Ah? What!..." Everyone couldn't believe their ears, Tsunade took the scroll from him, and saw the death news of the three children written on it, saying that they encountered a large number of enemies yesterday, Nagato and Yahiko were killed on the spot , Xiaonan was seriously injured, wrote this letter before he died, entrusted it to his companion, and sent it to Zilaiye with the contact toad, etc...

"Why, why! Why!..." Ji Lai also thumped the ground in pain, his heart felt as if it had been hollowed out by something, and the pain continued. "Why is this happening! It's just a few days away, just a few days away...Why is this happening! Cough cough..." Ji Laiye was anxious for the relapse of his old injury, and suddenly coughed up two mouthfuls of blood with excitement.

"Master Jiraiya!" Shizune hurriedly treated him, and wiped off the blood so as not to make Tsunade feel uncomfortable.

Tsunade knew that his heart was twisted, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say.She also knows that those three children are like his own to Jiraiya, and now they are all dead at once. She has a deep understanding of this kind of heartache, and it cannot be healed by just a few words from someone. .The only good way now is to leave him alone...

Zilai was so distressed that he almost lost his breath, closed his eyes, and couldn't speak for a long time, with a gurgling sound in his throat.

Jing Yin could tell that he was trying not to cry!

"We... know Konoha!" Jiraiya said to everyone after a few breaths.

Tsunade asked him: "Jiraiya, are you okay? If you want to cry, you can cry..."

Ji Lai also signaled Jing Yin to stop, stood up, turned his back to everyone, and said lightly: "Let's go back..."

Tsunade and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and didn't say any more, just quietly followed behind him, walking slowly back to Konoha.Halfway through the walk, I suddenly saw a few people flying in front of me, and quietly shouted: "It seems to be a water gate..."

When those people approached, everyone saw that it was Minato, followed by Inokacho, and they breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Sannin was safe and sound.

Jing Yin asked, "Why are you here?"

Minato said: "Ah, it's been a long time since you came back, and I thought something was wrong, so the third generation ordered us to come and respond! Are you all okay?"

Shizune said: "It's okay! Konoha Sannin is together, what else can happen! It's just..."

"Just what?"

Shizune glanced at Jiraiya, her eyes were dull, she didn't notice Minato and the others at all, she just walked back, pulled everyone aside, and whispered: "The three children of the Kingdom of Rain died yesterday, and Ziraiya My lord just received the news, and my heart is very sad!"

Zhuludie and the others didn't know who they were talking about, Minato was startled. "What! Dead!... How did this happen, who did it?"

"I don't know. The letter only said that a large number of enemies were encountered. The two boys were killed on the spot. The girl died of her injuries later, and she also died... This letter is the girl's final letter..."

Minato thought to himself, the teacher has mentioned to himself many times in these years, saying that as soon as the war is over, he will go to the Land of Rain to find them. I can't imagine that fate will play tricks on people like this. Only a few days away, their master and apprentice four People are separated by life and death...

Minato followed behind the teacher, feeling strange in his heart, and asked, "CC, is the letter you received fake?"

Jilai also heard the sound of the water gate, and suddenly seemed to wake up and dozed off, stopped and looked back at the water gate, his eyes were fixed. "What did you say? You say it again?"

Minato hesitated for a while, then said, "Can the teacher be sure that the letter is genuine? I think there is something strange in it..."

"What's strange? No, no, this letter has a code mark left by Xiao Nan on it, and the handwriting is also hers. This letter cannot be forged by others!"

Minato said: "That's not what I mean, what I mean is, has the teacher ever thought about who the large number of enemies mentioned in his heart are? It must not be Yanyin, they are coming from our direction!"

I thought about it myself, yes!Hastily asked him: "What did you think of, keep talking!"

Minato said: "I'm just guessing. It's not necessarily right. You should listen to it first. The letter was sent by the contact toad. This is one of the doubts. The large number of enemies encountered is the second doubt. Then there is the incident. The location is in the Land of Rain, this is the third doubt. Teacher, do you think that there are three doubts in a letter, can this letter have no problems?"

Jiraiya frowned, closed his eyes and meditated, contacted Toad, a large number of enemies, the Land of Rain... nothing wrong, so he asked, "Minato, what do you mean by doubt?"

Minato said: "Didn't the teacher say that you and those three children have long used the mail method to exchange letters, and you haven't contacted Toad for many years. Why do you suddenly use it today?"

"Perhaps due to special circumstances, it cannot be delivered normally..."

Minato said: "It's okay to say it this way, but what about the latter? Who are the large numbers of enemies mentioned in the letter? Also, they were killed in the Land of Rain. It is impossible for the village chief Sanshoyu Hanzo not to know, if he knew, the three children would not have been killed, right?"

Ji Lai was also confused, and said, "My mind is in a mess right now, please be straightforward..."

Minato said: "If there are a large number of enemies in the Land of Rain, then those who were killed should be the large number of enemies, not the three children! Think about it, Hanzo found that there were enemies in his country, how could he sit idly by, and he would definitely reconcile the three The children teamed up to fight against the enemy, and Shimura Danzo was also negotiating there. If the enemy invaded, the three parties would combine forces, and this result would not be possible! Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Minato wants to speak, or dare not speak.He looked at the others, then pulled the teacher aside, and whispered, "Unless the three children were killed by Hanzo!"

Ji Lai also felt a bit thumped in his heart, saying that he was only focused on crying just now, and didn't analyze it carefully.What Minato said is true. Xiaonan said in his heart before that Sanshoyu Hanzo admired them very much and said he was willing to join forces with them. If a large number of enemies invaded, Hanzo would not be clear. If Hanzo and Xiaonan joined forces, it would be impossible. The result that all three people died, is it really Hanzo's fault?Seeing that the situation had stabilized, he was worried that Xiao Nan and the others would become his stumbling block in the future, so he killed him?
"Minato, follow me to the Land of Rain, I want to find out about this matter!"

Minato pulled the teacher back and said in a low voice: "We are negotiating peace with Yuyin Village. It's not good to conduct such a blatant investigation now. Let's investigate secretly. The three generations of the province will be caught in the middle! Why don't you go back and return to your order, and wait until everything is fine. , I am accompanying you to investigate!"
