Chapter 419: Jiraiya Disappeared, Ningji Got Married, and the Entrance to the Underground River
In an instant, in just a few minutes, the middle-aged fat man of the Fukama family felt the sinister hearts of people. The sun and the human heart can't look at each other, and the king of the rolls and the silver coins should be damned!
But he knew he couldn't say no, even if it was true. But when he came, the head of the family had already told him not to make enemies, and not to mess things up no matter what happened.
"Gifts. The gifts are still on the way, too many and stuck on the way. "He can be sent to represent the Fukama family, except that he is a little stupid, he is not a mediocre talent.
"yes, I see." Naruto's gaze swept over to the three of them, "So, let's get down to business?" ”
"No, Yuan Hejia snooped on the Intelligence Department, and he really deserved it for his wanton behavior." The young man from the Jiang Chuan family proposed, "It's early, let's eat first, right?" ”
"How about chatting while eating?"
"Okay."
"That's what they said?" Kakashi had a ghostly look on his face, rubbing his chin and muttering, "Strange, what's wrong with this group of nobles?" ”
"I don't know, I didn't do anything, I just came back and sat down there." Naruto looked lazy and nestled in his chair.
"It's also possible that you're scared, after all, you've erased a big nobleman. They want to come to share the food garden and home, and they must have gained a lot of benefits. ”
"That big nobleman is really cheap, but their attitude is quite good." Naruto said.
"Then don't worry about it, anyway, since they release their kindness first, then just take it all." Kakashi said, "It's good that the Ministry of Intelligence's project can move forward smoothly." ”
"Huh? Kakashi-sensei, are you still paying attention to the Ministry of Intelligence's project? He asked in surprise.
"What is this called? I'm the Hokage, how could I not pay attention to the big things of the Ministry of Intelligence. Kakashi coughed, "It's just that you know, there's been so much going on these months."
"So, the Hokage is indeed a troublesome errand." Naruto said.
"Well, there's one more thing." Kakashi said suddenly, and began to rummage through the papers on the table after speaking, "Wait, all of a sudden, it's gone, it's still here just now." ”
Kakashi scratched his head, looking depressed.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"It's nothing, it's a trivial matter, the Daimyo Toki of the Bird Country has recently visited." Kakashi was still looking down for the papers, "She asked if you were an adult and seemed to want to see you." ”
"Toki?" Naruto searched in his memory for a while, remembering a certain mission experience, when he slapped her a few times, this person still thinks about himself?
It's not going to be a shake, it's too snappy.
"Forget it, don't look for it, I'm too lazy to see her." Naruto said, "This woman has nothing to do, it's probably not a good thing, if it's a borrowed seed, it will be troublesome." ”
"That's right, if that's the case, it's really troublesome." Kakashi murmured as he pulled an exposed dead fish eye.
Just then, there was a sharp knock on the office door.
"Someone." Naruto said.
"Come in." Kakashi looked up at the doorway.
After receiving permission, the door was hurriedly pushed open. Izumo Kazuki pushed the door open and sideways to get out of the way, and the two of them saw a slender dark orange toad behind him.
Naruto suddenly remembered that this was not a scroll toad.
"Hokage-sama, the scroll toad has something important to tell." After saying that, Izumo suddenly slipped away.
Since Tsunade's departure from the village, the newly appointed Hokage Kakashi faced the embarrassing situation of no one available, so he simply inherited the team left by the fifth generation.
Among them are the head of the dark army, Utsuki Yuyan, and two secretaries who have been promoted from guarding the gate to running errands, Gangzitetsu and Kamizuki Izumo.
"Toad? Why did you come to Konoha and is there any new news about the lustful immortals? Naruto asked, lazy with a smile on his face.
It's been a long time since I've heard from him, and I don't know where he drifted to the point where he lost contact. Now I see Toad Yin is a little kind, and I often use Toad Yin to deliver news.
"Kakashi, Naruto." The scroll toad jumped over and said with a serious expression, "Something happened to Jiraiya, he disappeared into the ground during a mission and seems to be missing." ”
"Missing?" He looked at Toad Yin with a stunned expression, and his whole body sat up straight, and Zhengse asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”
"Well, when I was summoned, Jiraiya seemed to be on the surface of an underground river, and the current was fast. He was swept into a whirlpool and sank, and the chakra vanished in an instant. Toad Yin said.
"Will the chakra just disappear?" Kakashi noticed this, "It stands to reason that even if you are caught in the vortex in an instant, you can't even disappear with the chakra. ”
"Maybe there's a different space down there? Or maybe it's some other mystery, but in short, you have to go and see it in person. After all, Lord Jiraiya summoned the scroll toad, probably trying to pass on some news to the outside world. ”
Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help frowning, but he wasn't too anxious. He knew that he had a lot of ability, and he had a lot of means to save his life.
In addition to the scroll toad, which is used to deliver messages, Jilai can also summon a gourd toad and burrow into its body to keep it underwater for a long time.
"Did you say anything when you summoned you?" He asked.
"Nope." Toad Yin shook his head, "It's a steep stone wall, the light is very dim, it seems to be an underground river with a large difference in height. ”
"When I appeared, there was only one palm left in the water, and it was engulfed in an instant."
"Underground whirlpools?" Kakashi was as calm as ever, and analyzed, "Jiraiya-sama's psychic beast is a toad from Myoki Mountain, and if it is only swept underwater, it can always come out. ”
"Besides, with the means of Jiraiya, it is absolutely no problem to save your life and find a chance to come out. Is there a possibility that Jiraiya-sama was just swept into the underground river and went farther away. ”
"It's possible." Naruto nodded, but said again, "But under normal circumstances, Jiraiya shouldn't have hastily summoned Toad Yin, maybe he was really in trouble." ”
"Toad Yin, do you remember where Lord Jiraiya disappeared?" Kakashi asked.
"I could only reluctantly try, I walked a long way to find the exit. Location. Maybe you can find it, maybe you can go now. Toad Yin said.
Hearing this, Naruto looked at Kakashi.
"Don't go alone, Ning Ci, Tian Tian, and Xiao Li are still in the village, you can form a team and go together." Kakashi immediately gave the order.
"Anyway, you've done missions together before, and you act more tacitly."
"Okay." Naruto answered.
About half an hour later, the third squad, which had received an urgent order from the Hokage, immediately assembled. Among the twelve small powerhouses, only the third class is still doing tasks in the village.
There was only one Ding Ci left in the tenth class who did not hold a position, but it was impossible for him to carry out the task alone. After getting married, he was already learning how to deal with the affairs of the clan.
Most of the ninja families are involved with some nobles, and their interests are also complicated. It's not easy to deal with it, so you can only calm down and study hard.
Class 7. The seventh class is full of wicked people, and there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp. Kakashi was depressed, and none of the disciples under his hands were worried.
In the eighth class, only Shino, the oil girl, is still doing tasks, and Inuzuka has been busy helping with clan affairs lately. As for Hinata, Hinata has changed so much that she can only stay in the clan to help Ninji.
Originally, Ning Ci didn't have much time to take on the task, but more than a month has passed, and the contradiction between the Hyuga family and the Zong family has eased a lot.
Coupled with Hinata's guidance, coupled with the help of Hinata and Hanabi, Ning Ji quickly became familiar with the affairs of the clan and handled them in an orderly manner.
If that's all it takes, it's not enough for him to really sometimes be indirect. The most critical reason is that Ning Ci took the initiative to do something to resolve the contradictions between the clans.
"You're married?" Naruto was stunned and turned his head sharply to look at Ninji, "When?" ”
"Seven days ago." Ning Ci looked calm, nodded and said, "It's just a very simple wedding, and it's not official, it's just a rehearsal in advance." ”
"What?" Tian Tian reacted even more, and rushed to Ning Ci, "Marriage? Ning Ci you. You're kidding? We're in the village, and you didn't even notify me and Xiao Li! ”
"It's just a dress rehearsal, it's an engagement." Ning Ci said, "I will officially get married next month, and I will invite you to the wedding when the time comes." ”
"With whom?" Tian Tian asked with a complicated expression.
"A girl from the Zong family, I used to know her, but I didn't expect to marry her." Hinata Ningji's voice did not have any emotional ups and downs, as if getting married was no different from eating and sleeping for him.
Although the content of marriage also includes sleeping, he seems to feel that marriage is just a very mundane thing.
"Married so soon?" Xiao Li blinked, his thick eyebrows swayed, "Cool, Ning Ci, I didn't expect you to be the first of the four of us to get married!" ”
Although Xiao Li sometimes speaks without brains, he also has an advantage, sincerity.
He subconsciously accepted Naruto as a member of the third class, even though Naruto was only temporarily made up during that time, Xiao Li kept thinking about him.
"I thought Naruto would be the first to get married, but I didn't expect it." Xiao Li said with a smile.
I pursed my mouth every day, and I didn't know what to say for a while. I only felt a little stunned in my heart, but I couldn't say that it was uncomfortable, after all, I had already been mentally prepared in my heart.
The Hyuga clan is basically internally digested, and basically does not intermarry with foreigners. She knew this, she knew early on that Ning Ji would eventually marry a Hyuga girl.
"In this way, is it to alleviate the contradiction between the clan family and the division family?" Naruto packed up his climbing gear and said without looking up.
"No wonder you have time to come out and do the task, and the things in the clan are all solved?"
"Well, almost." Hinata Ninji said, "Marriage has indeed alleviated the contradiction between the clan family and the separation of the family, and things are developing in a good direction." ”
"Congratulations, Ningji." Tian Tian stepped forward and smiled, "I wish you a happy wedding." ”
"Thank you, Tian Tian." Ning Ci nodded.
The mission begins, and the four of them start the rush mode.
Although Naruto was anxious this time, he didn't speed up, and he was still led by Ninji. Rescue investigation mission, the third class is equally experienced.
Two days later.
Above a deep underground ravine, several people found the entrance. The scroll toad probed around carefully, pointing to the crack below.
"That's it."
