71: Uzumaki Kushina
This sentence really worked, and Watanabe and Jiri looked at each other and looked back at the same time.
Because the pursuers of Yuyin Village were behind, Watanabe couldn't escape in the direction of Konoha, and at the beginning he thought that Kazujiri would go to the country of Vortex for help.
The country of Vortex is Konoha's staunchest ally, and he also sent troops to support Konoha during the First Shinobi War, and Watanabe believes that the country of Vortex will not stand idly by after knowing what happened to him and Jiri.
But he never expected that he would meet a man who claimed to be the daimyo of the Vortex Country here.
……
"You say you're the daimyo of the Vortex Country?" Watanabe stopped and confirmed with him.
"Yes, it's true!" The daimyo nodded, seeing Jiri behind him as a lifesaver.
Of course, he had heard of the prestige of Uchihajiri, and he had seen Jiri's photo, so he could recognize her at a glance.
The daimyo felt that with the reputation and strength of the Uchihajiri, it should be no problem to defeat Sanshoyu Hanzo, at least bring him back to the country of Vortex.
Watanabe looked at each other suspiciously.
I saw that the man had red hair, and from this point of view, his identity as a vortex clan was certain, he was about fifty years old, and there were three people dressed as guards standing next to him, all of whom were almost embarrassed by himself, and there were many blood stains oozing from his body.
There was also a red-haired Lori with pink carvings hiding behind the man, revealing half of her eyes to observe herself.
"Teacher, have you ever seen the daimyo of the Vortex Country?" Watanabe asks Jiri.
Jiri shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”
She had never dealt with the daimyo of the Vortex Country, and she couldn't judge the authenticity of a man's identity.
"Your Excellency Jiri, I'm really a daimyo, I didn't lie to you, your Konoha Uzumaki Mito is my aunt!" The daimyo hurriedly explained that the Uchiha was the only one who could save him at the moment, and he must gain her trust.
Watanabe believed him a little when he heard this, and he had heard Tsunade mention the relationship between the Daimyo of Vortex and Mito before, and Tsunade also said that she had a little cousin named Kushina.
"Who is this little girl?" Watanabe looked at the red-haired Lori behind him.
Daimyo introduced: "She is my daughter, named Uzumaki Kushina. ”
Watanabe nodded, "Okay, I believe you're a daimyo." ”
The daimyo is full of bitterness, in his eyes Watanabe is just a milky teenager, what's the use of Watanabe believing that he is a daimyo? What he wants is Uchiha Jiri to believe.
"Do you believe it, Your Excellency?" He looked eagerly at Ridge.
Jiri hugged Watanabe's neck and said lightly: "Watanabe believes in you, I will believe it." ”
"Uh......"
The daimyo was stunned, and then he realized that Jiri's situation was wrong, it was actually carried by people, and the boy he called Watanabe seemed to be very close to her, and the two didn't know if it was a brother or a couple.
……
Now that the identity of the other party's daimyo has been determined, Watanabe must not be able to ignore them, and the purpose of his trip was originally to seek help from the country of the vortex.
It's just that the daimyo at this moment seems to need more help than him and Jiri.
"How could you be a big name like this?" Watanabe asked in surprise.
The daimyo already understood at this time that Watanabe had a lot of weight in Jiri's mind, and he didn't dare to treat him as an ordinary young man, so he said with a complicated expression: "This matter is a long story. ”
"I just came back from a visit to the land of earth today, but I was ambushed by Sanshoyu Hanzo on the way, fortunately, there are guards desperately protecting me, I can temporarily escape, presumably Sanshoyu Hanzo is taking his men everywhere to find my whereabouts."
After listening to the daimyo's explanation, Watanabe suddenly opened up, and several nodes that he hadn't figured out before were all connected.
I see, no wonder Hanzo said when he first saw Jiri that he didn't expect Konoha to be so rescued, and he must kill himself and others.
It turned out that Hanzo was mistaking Jiri for the rescuers sent by Konoha to rescue the daimyo of the Vortex Country, and the merchants of the Vortex Country such as Uzumaki Heiji were probably mistaken for the Daimyo himself at that time.
"The cause of everything is you, and we have been miserable by you tonight!" Watanabe couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, their team could easily complete the task of escorting the caravan this time, but because of the changes in the Daimyo of the Vortex Country, Hinata Zero and Hinata don't know if it is safe now.
"I've bothered you?"
The daimyo looked at Ridge in confusion.
Jiri didn't care about him at all, just lying quietly on Watanabe's back, and suddenly saw two drops of sweat on Watanabe's forehead, and reached out to help him wipe it considerately, without any scruples in front of outsiders.
"I'm talking a lot." Watanabe said, "Now is not the time to speak, Hanzo may be chased at any time, let's run in the direction of the Vortex Country first." ”
"Okay." The daimyo agreed.
He knew that even if Uchiha Jiri was there, at most he could only help him escape back to the country of Vortex, and he would never be able to defeat Hanzo and the others head-on, and it would still be dangerous to be caught up by the enemy.
Just as the daimyo was about to set off with Watanabe, Kushina, who was hiding behind him, pulled his trouser leg and said pitifully, "Dad, I'm so tired that I can't run......"
The daimyo reluctantly picked her up.
Watanabe noticed a wound on the daimyo's left arm, from which blood was oozing out, and his expression was slightly unnatural as he picked him up.
Looking at the three guards next to the daimyo, each of them was wounded and wounded, and it was not easy to take care of themselves, and they could no longer bear the extra weight.
"I'll hold her."
Watanabe reached out and took Kushina.
The daimyo hurriedly grateful: "Trouble little brother." ”
Even if he wants to be polite to Watanabe, he can't be polite, he's just an ordinary person and not a ninja, plus his arm was slashed by the ninja of Yuyin Village before, so he can't hold his daughter for long at all.
Being taken into Watanabe's arms, Kushina was a little overwhelmed, and learned from her father to whisper thanks, "Thank you, big brother." ”
Big brother?
Watanabe has never been called like this, and I feel that Tsunade's little cousin is very cute, and he holds her small soft body steady.
"You're welcome, Your Excellency, we're on our way."
Watanabe's tone was relaxed, but Jiri frowned in displeasure.
She knows better than anyone that Watanabe has suffered very serious internal injuries, and he vomited a lot of blood when he ran with her on his back along the way, and now he has added to the burden on him.
It's better that I didn't meet these daimyo just now!
"Big sister, are you too tired to run?"
Like a curious baby, Kushina asked Jiri with wide eyes.
One of them was carried by Watanabe, and the other was hugged by Watanabe, and they were very close to each other.
Jiri is unhappy that she has caused Watanabe to be a burden and is too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Big sister, your eyes are so beautiful!"
Kushina discovers the New World and stares at Jiri's writing wheel in surprise.
"Big sister needs to rest, don't disturb her." Watanabe admonishes Kushina.
He knew that Jiri was cold to everyone, and Kushina's overtures to her were almost destined to touch the ashes.
