Chapter 38 Don't go too far
"It's okay, there's still me. If someone attacks you later, just hide in the carriage. As for the enemies, leave them all to me." Jiraiya clapped his chest and laughed.
In fact, at this moment, Jiraiya didn't have much chakra left in his body.However, as the captain of the fifth squad, what he has to do at this time, besides cheering for the team members, is to shoulder the burden of defending against the enemy.
"Hey, where did Matsuri-san go?" Minato Namikaze suddenly realized that as a teammate who had just joined his class, Uchiha Matsuri had disappeared half an hour ago.
"You stay here first, I will go find him."
After realizing that the Uchiha Festival had disappeared, Jiraiya walked anxiously towards the depths of the dense forest.
A few minutes later, Jiraiya found Uchiha Matsuri lying on the ground, unconscious.
After confirming that Uchiha Matsuri's life was safe, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.With the unconscious Uchiha Matsuri on his back, Jiraiya walked back to the caravan.
Seeing Jiraiya coming back with Uchiha Matsuri on his back, Namikaze Minato asked worriedly: "Matsura-san, he..."
"He just passed out after running out of chakra. He just needs to rest for two days." Jiraiya said with a tired look.
"However, the strange thing is that I found Matsuri in a dense forest more than 100 meters away. There were obvious signs of fighting around Matsuri. It seemed that he had fought with another force." Jiraiya frowned slightly.
"Another force?" Namikaze Minato asked in surprise.
"Well, it should be other ninjas lurking in the dense forest. However, it seems that the other party is not much better." Jiraiya said.
"If you ask me to guess, he must have been unable to defeat the enemy, and then sneaked away, but he didn't want to encounter another wave of enemies, and then he was injured and fell unconscious." Inuzuka said with a curl of his lips.
"E, don't say that. Matsuri-san is unconscious now. We don't know exactly what happened to him, so we can't make any inferences." Namikaze Minato said dissatisfied.
"Cut~"
After continuing on the road for most of the day, the caravan finally arrived at a village before dark.
Although it is said to be a village, there are actually not many people living in it.As the situation in the Country of Grass has been turbulent all year round, the residents of the villages and towns have long since died or fled, and the rest are all the old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot easily travel far.
After finding an inn, the owner of the inn respectfully led a few people to look at the rooms.After all, for a store owner who is just a civilian, he cannot afford to offend ninja groups like Jiraiya.
After choosing the guest room, Jiraiya found the caravan's butler Moritani Koji.
In the spacious and bright guest room, Moritani Koji was sitting on the tatami, sipping strong tea. Seeing Jiraiya arriving, Moritani Koji stretched out his hand to signal Jiraiya to sit down.
After a few brief greetings with Koji Moritani, Jiraiya got straight to the point: "Mr. Moritani, I am here to discuss matters with you about my subordinates."
"Your subordinates?" Moritani Koji asked slightly impatiently, "What happens to your subordinates has nothing to do with me. You just need to deliver all my goods safely."
"That's it, Mr. Moritani, one of my subordinates was unconscious during the battle. I want to stay in this town for a few days and wait until he wakes up before we set off." Jiraiya said seriously.
"How long will it take?" Koji Moritani couldn't sit still. "No, no, I have to deliver my goods to Earth Country as soon as possible!"
Hearing that Moritani Koji resolutely rejected his suggestion, Jiraiya did not
Not surprised.Since the first option was directly rejected, Jiraiya immediately proposed the second option.
"Then, what if I leave one of my subordinates to take care of him, and then I and another subordinate continue to escort the caravan?"
"Hmph! Jiraiya, don't go too far." Koji Moritani spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth and stamped it out with his foot, "Our adults paid for the four of you to escort us together, but now you have to reduce it by half. The number of escorts, you are going too far.”
"Then, what does Mr. Isenya mean?" Although Jiraiya was dissatisfied, he still asked respectfully.
"If he can't wake up, just throw him here." Koji Moritani said without any room for negotiation, "Humph, even if that's the case, we still paid you an extra fee for a ninja!"
Hearing that Moritani Koji planned to throw Uchiha Matsuri alone into the village, Jiraiya became angry inside, and at this time he was no longer polite to Moritani Koji.
"Since Mr. Moritani doesn't give room for negotiation, let's cancel the mission status." Jiraiya suddenly stood up, his tone suddenly became tough.
Seeing Jiraiya's fierce reaction, Moritani Koji was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Jiraiya, what do you mean?"
"Mr. Moritani, Matsuri is a part of our team. Even if we give up the mission, we can't leave him alone." Jiraiya stared at Koji Moritani's eyes and threatened, "Since Mr. Moritani wants to force us to leave him , then please forgive our team for no longer escorting the caravan."
Hearing the sound, Koji Moritani slapped the table with one hand, stood up, pointed at Jiraiya and shouted: "Jiraiya, do you know what you just said?"
"I am certain."
"Hmph! We, sir, are relatives of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and you actually quit when you say you won't do it." Koji Moritani sneered, "Aren't you afraid that the Daimyo will cut your Konoha budget?"
"I believe that Teacher will understand my approach." Jiraiya said lightly, then turned and left.
"stop!"
"Mr. Moritani, is there anything else?" Jiraiya turned around and asked.
Jiraiya had no intention of giving up the mission. The threat just now was just to force Moritani Koji to agree to his conditions.
Moreover, Jiraiya knew that Moritani Koji would have to agree to his conditions.
After all, only a fool would lead a caravan alone in the dangerous country of grass.
"Why do you have to take him with you?" Moritani Koji stared at Jiraiya's eyes, as if he wanted to read Jiraiya's heart.
"Because we are teammates." Jiraiya smiled, "I will not leave any of my teammates behind."
"teammate……"
After a few seconds of silence, Koji Moritani gritted his teeth and compromised: "Since you are unwilling to leave your teammates behind, let's stay in the town for two days."
evening after a day.
In the hotel room.
On the guest bed, Uchiha Matsuri slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Uchiha Matsuri wake up, Minato Namikaze came to Uchiha Matsuri happily: "Matsura-kun, you're awake."
"Yeah." After sleeping for more than a day, Uchiha Matsuri couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he woke up.
"Minato-san, how long have I been unconscious?" Uchiha Matsuri asked weakly.
In fact, at this moment, Jiraiya didn't have much chakra left in his body.However, as the captain of the fifth squad, what he has to do at this time, besides cheering for the team members, is to shoulder the burden of defending against the enemy.
