Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 264
"Yes, it's really a pity," Jiraiya reached out and patted Marutani Hang's shoulder, and stood up from the roof, "But if I'm nearby by then, I will definitely come to help."

"Well, thank you!"

Marutani Kou smiled bitterly, this kind of coincidence with extremely low possibility can only be thought about.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Jiraiya also left, leaving Marutani Kou alone and depressed.

Only a few minutes passed from the establishment to the failure of the thigh-holding project that I thought of on the spur of the moment. Marutani Kou, who felt his body was hollowed out, stayed near the school, while continuing to look for the mysterious masked man who might appear, while waiting Naruto and Kaorin leave school.

Time passed quickly, and Marutani Kou picked up the two children after school and mentioned Jiraiya on the way home.

The relationship between Naruto and Jiraiya is closer than the relationship between himself and Jiraiya, and he knows more things. As a result, what he said made Marutani Kou even more surprised.

"Master Jiraiya has been in the village for a long time!"

After Naruto finished speaking, Xianglin on the side also nodded.

what's the situation?Has Jiraiya been staying in the village recently?

Under Marutani Hang's questioning, Naruto slowly told all the contents of the conversation with Jiraiya during this period.

After Marutani Koko left the village, Jiraiya's first appearance was when he met Naruto on the street last time, and after that, Jiraiya also learned about the nearby town from other people in the village There is news about a free doctor. After judgment, he feels that one of the two doctors in the news is very similar to Marutani Kou, while the other is most likely Tsunade's student, Shizune.

Jiraiya also wanted to know Tsunade's current situation very much, but he was too embarrassed to rush to the vicinity to meet with him in person, so he had to settle for the next best thing, staying in the village and waiting for Marutani Kou to return and bring back the news of Tsunade. Waited until now.

But now, Jiraiya, who got the information he wanted from Marutani Port, has no reason to stay.

Naruto's retelling made Marutani Kou's mood even more complicated, but now another question popped up in his mind.

"Naruto, how do you know so much about Jiraiya-senpai? You even know what's going on in his heart?"

Naruto blinked his big eyes, and said a reason that made people feel distressed.

"Master Jiraiya said that he had no one else in the village to talk to, so he told me all of this."

Jiraiya senior.

Marutani Kou raised his head and looked in the direction where Jiraiya had left before. Of course, he could no longer see anything except the sun that was gradually setting and the birds that flew across the sky from time to time.

"Hey."

Thinking of Jiraiya's somewhat lonely expression before, Marutani Kou couldn't help sighing, while Naruto next to him stared into his big eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Teacher, why are you sighing? Did you encounter some trouble?"

Marutani Kou turned his head, looked at Naruto who was as innocent as a piece of white paper, and put his hand on his head.

"Teacher, I am lamenting life."

"Huh?" Naruto scratched his forehead, perfectly fitting his "silly, white and sweet" persona, "I don't understand."

"At your age, it's normal if you don't understand."

Just after talking nonsense with Naruto here, Marutani Kou suddenly felt a somewhat fiery gaze beside him, turned his head curiously, and found that the source turned out to be Kaorin.

Ok?
I saw Xianglin, who was several years older than Naruto, staring at him with rather ambiguous eyes at this moment.

"Brother, Naruto doesn't understand, I understand."

Xiang Lin blushed unusually, this normally carefree girl turned a little awkward at this moment, looking very awkward.

Marutani Koko's face suddenly sank, no way.

You know a hammer, you know.

The scene fell into a very embarrassing situation for a while.

"Xiang Lin, what are you doing? It looks like those snake spirits drawn in comic books!"

At this extremely embarrassing timing, Naruto stepped forward and caused trouble for Marutani Kou.

"Naruto! You are talking nonsense!"

"I didn't!"

The two children immediately forgot everything that happened before, and they quarreled lively again, and Marutani Kou breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank you, Naruto!

On the way to pick up the children home from school, Marutani Koko was still focused on the relationship between Jiraiya and Tsunade.

What is the relationship between the two?Is it a one-sided crush?

But before Marutani Kou came up with a general idea, on the way home, a ninja suddenly appeared in front of them, scaring the two children.

Marutani Koko subconsciously stopped the two children behind him and got ready to fight.

However, the combat intuition did not send out an alarm, so the person coming should not be hostile, and Marutani Kou also came out from the opponent's dress and clothing, this person should be a ninja from Anbu.

"Excuse me, is something wrong?"

Anbu ninja?Could it be that the village wants to find me again?
Sure enough, the Anbu ninja explained his intention as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Marutani Kou, Hokage-sama invites you to the Hokage Building, he has something to tell you."

"Things?" Marutani Kou nodded and agreed, "I understand, I will go there as soon as I send Naruto and Kaorin home."

"it is good."

As soon as the information arrived, Anbu Ninja displayed his agile figure and disappeared in front of the three of them in an instant.

Hiruza Sarutobi has something to do with him?What can be the matter?
Marutani Kou felt a little strange.

I just received a mission from Shikaku Nara not long ago, and the mission was directly assigned by Hiruzaru Sarutobi to Shikaku Nara, so the other party must know that I am performing the mission, what will happen to me at this time? ?

Although I can't figure it out, out of respect for Hokage, I still have to go.

Marutani Koko sent the two children home and told them what needs to be paid attention to at home, and then left immediately. He came to the Hokage Building alone, and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen in that familiar office.

"You are here."

"Hi, Hokage-sama, what are you looking for this time?"

After a simple greeting, Marutani Koko was not polite and straight to the point, the relationship between him and Sarutobi Hiruzen was already quite close, but judging from the previous experience of getting along with each other, I don’t know if it’s because of their age , the current Hiruzen Sarutobi is a very "soft" person, with a high degree of tolerance for things, especially for young people like himself.

"That's right," Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded without talking nonsense, "Now about the mysterious masked man, Shikakujo Shinobi is now entrusted to you to investigate?"

"Well," this matter is known to everyone, so there is no need to hide it, "I'm already investigating."

"that."

I saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, which was originally normal, suddenly became a little embarrassed, and his speech faltered a bit.

Of course, Marutani Koko was very puzzled by this.

"Master Hokage? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed, and re-opened his mouth after brewing a good mood.

"I heard that you are also investigating information about Danzang and Gen?"

"That's right, Danzo and Gen's information is directly related to our judgment on the purpose of the mysterious masked man."

"Cough cough cough."

After Marutani Koko finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed a few times again, and then said in a very embarrassed tone.

"Can you, don't investigate Danzang for the time being."
