Naruto: Legend of Jiraiya

Chapter 91
The old man coughed again and was out of breath. Seeing that he was struggling to speak, the owner of the casino said for him: "This old man is a hunter. We call him Old Han. I delivered it to my hotel. I happened to be scanning for news from the Xiao organization that day. He said that he had seen it on the mountain a few days ago, but he didn’t see the exact appearance, but he recognized the red auspicious cloud pattern on the clothes. He said that the other party was killing After a few people left..."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and added: "I'm lucky. That person actually found me after killing someone, but for some reason, he didn't kill me to silence him. I was afraid at the time, so I didn't dare to follow, and sat on the ground trembling." After half a day, I went home."

Ji Lai also asked him: "Does that man have any characteristics? Tell me everything you remember!"

The old man thought about it for a long time, and said that he was too scared at the time, he didn't dare to look at it, he only remembered the clothes, and the other person's posture was very strange, unlike ordinary people, standing up, it looked like he was carrying a cauldron.

"Oh, by the way, I remember that he still wears this bamboo hat, and it looks like there are bells on it, or something else, anyway, it can jingle bells!"

What the old man said shocked Zilai, and he was carrying a big pot... "Xiaoqing, do you still remember Lao Zhao's death?"

Only then did Xiao Qing react. "You mean...the mysterious puppeteer?"

Ji Lai also nodded and asked, "Old man, can you take us to the place where the incident happened? I'll reward you more..."

The old man was so happy that he was about to cry. He had never seen such a rich man in his life. He gave a reward of 10 taels for just a message.Of course I am willing to take them there, even if there is no reward, the 10 taels are enough.

The owner of the casino was also very happy, and got the other half of the reward, 20 taels, as he wished.Thank you Zilaiye, and said that if you have something to do in the future, just ask.

Zilai also snorted, thinking that if it wasn't Xiaoqing's money, I wouldn't give it to you, but then again, although it burned hundreds of thousands, it was still cheaper than staying on the exchange. Boss Fang’s is less than one-third of the price of the exchange, which has saved Comrade Xiaoqing a lot.

The old leader Han received the bounty and took Zilaiye and them up the mountain. He said that he often came here to hunt, so he was very familiar with every place, where there were traps, where there were traps, where to find running water, etc., he said. This mountain is as familiar as his own home.

Walking to the middle of the mountain, the old man boasted tiredly, but it can be seen that he has long been used to this kind of life. Although he is very tired, the old man's face is still rosy, and it may be because he is old that he has been panting. non-stop.

Zilai also asked him to take a break first and speak slowly.

Old Han Tou sat on the ground and rested for a while, then said to them: "Did you see that tree in front? It was under that tree that day. That man killed all the people in the sedan chair, including those who carried the sedan chair. left."

Xiaoqing asked him: "Then why didn't he kill you? Didn't you say he found you?"

Old Hantou was also puzzled, saying that he didn't know why, but after killing the people inside and outside the sedan chair, he walked slowly without panicking at all.

Zilai also followed the old Hantou's pointing, and when he arrived under the big tree, the sedan chair and the dead body had already been disposed of, leaving only some faint bloodstains on the ground.

It seems that what old Hantou said is true, people were indeed killed here.Xiaoqing glanced around with her white eyes, but found nothing except a few steel needles.He took the steel needle from the tree and asked Ziraiya: "Look at this, could it be..."

Ji Laiya sniffed it, nodded and said, "It's really him. The poison on the steel needle smells the same as the poison that killed Laozhao. It should be the same person!"

Jilai also felt strange, remembering that the puppet master was not dressed like this at that time, I heard that he had been pretending to be the third generation Mizukage, did he join that Akatsuki organization after escaping from somewhere?
"Master Ziraiya, do you have any clues?" Xiaoqing asked.

Zilai also called old Hantou over and asked him, "Who is in the sedan chair?"

Old Hantou said that he didn't know him, he only heard that he was a rich businessman, but he didn't know who he was, and said that the rich businessman was not from Tang Country.

"This is difficult. I originally wanted to guess who the enemy is through the victim, and then find out the employer, but I don't know the details of the deceased, alas..."

"You mean, this is a vendetta? That puppet master was just hired by others?" Xiaoqing asked him.

Zilai also said: "Don't you understand? If a rich businessman dies outside, he must not be kidnapped and blackmailed. Then a businessman is killed suddenly, what else can he do other than a vendetta? And the other party didn't kill the old Hantou to silence him, which shows that he is not afraid at all." If the matter is exposed, then you say, killing people is not afraid of being known, what else is it other than hiring?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense... Then Master Jiraiya, what shall we do next?"

Jilai also thought about it, since he is a wealthy businessman, and he has to pass through the country of soup, then places like warehouses must know the details. "Come on, follow me to the warehouse!"

Ji Lai also asked about the largest warehouse in the country of soup like old Hantou, and took Comrade Xiaoqing to investigate.

……

At night, they finally reached the place.It's a pity that everyone in the warehouse has gone home, and they can only wait until tomorrow if they want to ask questions.Zilai also said that it is better to find a place to live first, and ask the people in the inn, it is best to know, if you don’t know, just wait until the warehouse opens tomorrow, and then ask!

Xiaoqing has sufficient funds this time, and she originally planned and budgeted for three months, but now she has gone to [-] Anbu, the money is enough for the two of them to spend until the end of the year...

A member of Anbu asked him before, saying that he was a little panicked when he used his own country's money to help Jilaiye with his affairs.Xiaoqing yelled at that person for being an idiot, saying that Zilai is who he is, even if you spend a lot of money to hire him, you may not be able to get him, and now he spends such a small amount of money, it is nothing at all!
The Anbu asked him how to reply to Mizukage, Xiaoqing just told the truth, Mizukage knew Master Jiraiya, and would definitely agree with him to do so.

Xiaoqing found a better hotel to live in. "Boss, just serve good wine and good food!"

"Okay!...It will be ready soon."

Ji Lai also giggled badly: "Good boy, something will happen! Haha..."

Xiaoqing also laughed, saying that she never had a chance to thank Zilaiye for the incident last time, but this time she caught up, and she should be warm and entertaining for anything.

Jilai is not very interested in food, but has a lot of research on beauties. "By the way, how is Terumi Mei?"

Xiaoqing said that she is now a popular person in Wuyin Village. She resumed the ninja school and taught Chojuro ninjutsu. She paid for him to enter the school and learn from a group of Jōjuro teachers.

Ji Lai also heard that this is not Konoha's set, let her learn it.

Xiaoqing saw what he wanted to say, giggled, and said, "Terumi Mei was designed according to Konoha's mechanism, ninja school, medical class, exploration class, etc..."

Ji Lai also admired in her heart, she is a little girl without a father, she grows really fast, this kind of foresight is almost catching up with the old man, and she is estimated to be a shadow-level seedling in the future.
