The three once-mighty Snow Ninja corpses were hastily buried by Naruto under the snowy slope beside the road with a few simple Earth Release Ninjutsu.
The uplifted new soil was soon covered by falling snowflakes, as if these three people had never appeared here.
Asama Sandayu fulfilled its promise and handed the prepared Two Million Ryo into the hands of Naruto.
The maximum denomination of Shinobi World currency is ten thousand taels, and Two Million Ryo only has two hundred pieces.
Naruto took it expressionlessly, counted it and then walked towards Jiraiya who was rubbing his hands and greeting him with a kind smile.
"Here, adoptive father, take a little."
Naruto handed over the money.
Jiraiya smiled brightly, took the box, and did not shy away from it. He opened a crack on the spot, narrowed his eyes into a line, quickly counted the amount inside, and said in his mouth, "Not bad, not bad, Mr. Sandayu is really trustworthy!"
He looks just like a philistine businessman who is obsessed with money. How can he still have half of the heroic demeanor of Yuan Ting Yue Zhi just now?
However, his smile solidified in the next second.
Naruto stretched out his hand very naturally and took the two piles of money, then left two pieces and walked away.
The whole process went so smoothly that it only left an afterimage in the eyes of others.
"???"
Jiraiya blinked, looking at the twenty thousand taels in his hand, his brain seemed to have shut down for a moment.
Immediately, a rush of hot blood rushed to the top of his head!
"Stinky--little--zi--"
A furious roar caused the snow on the roof of the carriage to fall.
Jiraiya's white beard was raised, and he pointed at Naruto's nose, his fingers were trembling, "You, you, you, you... you are rebelling against me, Two Million Ryo, just leave me 20,000 taels? How about calling me Delia? Believe it or not, I will sever this father-son relationship with you today!"
He was so angry that he jumped on the spot, his brocade robes flying, and spittle almost sprayed into Naruto's face. He still had no trace of heroic demeanor, just like an old naughty boy who had been robbed of a candied haws.
Naruto just slowly put the banknotes into an inconspicuous but hidden Ninja Tool Pouch on his waist, and took out the two thousand-tael Banknotes, stuffed it back into the hands of Jiraiya, who was shaking with anger, and spoke in a calm, even perfunctory tone. "Father, calm down, twenty thousand taels is quite a lot, enough for you to take a bath in a good hot spring and drink several meals of flower wine."
Let's walk Jianghu, and having so much money on us will attract thieves."
"I'll trick you!"
Jiraiya almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Looking at the two pieces of paper fluttering in his hand, and then thinking about the huge wealth that flew away, he felt extremely distressed.
"You little heartless thing, if I hadn't gone through all the trouble to bring you up and teach you peerless martial arts, would you be where you are today? Is this how you repay me?!"
Naruto picked his ears, ignored his roar, turned around and walked towards the front of the convoy, preparing to continue performing escort duties.
Cut off ties?
This old pervert would say this at least three times a month, and every time it would be thunderous and rainy.
What's more...
Naruto There was a deeper helplessness in his eyes, and even a hint of schadenfreude.
This old pervert has never been soft-hearted when he tricked me!
If it hadn't been for him, how could I have earned such hard-earned money by drinking from the northwest wind and fighting people to death in the ice and snow?
My thoughts couldn't help but drift back to Konohagakure, Hyuga Clan and the magnificent but depressing Mansion two years ago.
It was supposed to be the day when he Naruto Uzumaki and Hyuga Main Family's eldest daughter Hinata Hyuga got engaged.
Hyuga Clan, this ancient family with a long heritage is not much different from his vague impression.
The rules are strict, the concept of family status is very strong, the family honor and blood purity are extremely important, and they are even more conservative.
Just like their Byakugan, it carries a cold, scrutinizing, and unquestionable majesty.
But Hinata...Hinata is different.
She is like a gentle flower blooming in the ice and snow.
Although he is shy, he will quietly follow him with his pure pair of Byakugan when no one is paying attention; although he looks weak, he has his own persistence.
More importantly... she is an out-and-out rich woman!
Miss Hyuga Main Family is one of the future heirs. Her personal wealth and resources that can be mobilized are far from comparable to "Jianghu Wandering Swordsman" like Naruto.
Naruto took this well.
With a loving wife and beautiful family, and a wealth of wealth, is there any more perfect destination than this?
Hinata had even contacted Land of Iron's best Craftsmen to tailor-make a pair of peerless swords for them as an engagement gift.
Naruto I even thought of several names for the sword.
What does "women affect the speed of drawing a sword"?
Total nonsense!
Like Hinata, it is clearly an existence that brings buffs to life!
The rich woman will give you a good sword to help you.
However, just the day before the engagement ceremony was about to begin, just as he was changing into his dress and preparing to meet those gentle, watery white eyes...
This white-haired old pervert who calls himself Toad Sage suddenly burst in like an ominous whirlwind. With an expression of great urgency and urgency on his face, he coaxed and deceived him and semi-forced him out of the Hyuga Clan, yelling nonsense like "I found the key clue to the real murderer who killed you Parents", "The opportunity is fleeting", "Don't you want to avenge Parents" and other nonsense.
By the time Naruto reacted, he had already been taken out of Konoha and embarked on this inexplicable "Land of Snow escort trip".
After calming down and thinking about it, what clues were there to the murderer? It was probably this old pervert who used him as a shield and escape partner!
If he hadn't been able to beat this old pervert, Naruto would have given him a slap in the face to wake him up.
This is great, the basket is getting bigger.
Let go of all the pigeons Hyuga Clan!
Or on an important matter like an engagement, which concerns the face of both families and may attract the attention of the entire Konoha High Command.
This was no longer a slap in the face, it was just throwing Hyuga Clan's face to the ground, stepping on it again and again, and spitting on it.
If Hyuga Clan hadn't issued a reward for the sake of face, how could Naruto and Jiraiya be free of Jianghu?
And Naruto can almost predict what will be waiting for him next time he meets the Hyuga tribe.
Hinata Hyuga's brother, Neji Hyuga...
Oh, by the way, Hizashi Hyuga is not dead in this world.
And because Hiashi has no male children, Neji is not some Branch Family tragic genius, but the serious young master Main Family, the ultimate girl control who is powerful, crazy about protecting his sister, and regards the honor of his family as bigger than the sky!
Thinking of Neji's frosty face and Kunai, Naruto who may have been polished off, I felt a chill on the back of my neck.
That uncle definitely wanted to cut him into pieces.
There is also the future father-in-law, Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the clan, old-fashioned and serious, who values etiquette and rules the most...Naruto has no doubt that the other party wants to kill Jiraiya, just a lot more than Neji.
"Alas..."
Naruto sighed and touched the still warm Banknotes in his arms, but felt that it didn't smell that good anymore.
Hinata's tenderness, Land of Iron's famous craftsman's sword, Hyuga Clan's generous dowry...
The life of comfort, wealth and wealth that was so easily available was completely ruined by this old pervert!
What is this?
The classic marriage-robbing scene in martial arts novels?
But in the novel, all the people robbed are brides!
How could there be a groom-to-be like him who was forcibly snatched away by his master before the wedding?
This plot is too outrageous!
And why would this old guy Jiraiya do this?
A strange association flashed through Naruto's mind: It seems that in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", before Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü got married, weren't they suddenly taken away by their adoptive father Ouyang Feng, which led to a series of subsequent tragedies?
Oh, what Ouyang Feng is practicing is Toad Skill, who goes crazy and crazy; the person next to him calls himself "Toad Sage", he is as lustful as life, and behaves in a chaotic manner...
Wow, this sense of déjà vu is truly amazing.
Naruto turned around and glanced at Jiraiya, who was still beating his chest and cursing at two Banknotes worth ten thousand taels, with complicated eyes.
There was helplessness, anger, and a hint of regret for losing a happy life, but deeper down, perhaps even he himself was not aware of it, there was a kind of bond and acceptance among family members that he had long been accustomed to.
What can you do if you have such a foster father?
Different from the original work, it was Jiraiya who found the one who pulled her up. Can she really fall out with him?
He shook his head, shook off the messy thoughts, and turned his attention again to the snowy road ahead.
At least, now that I have money, I can still look forward to Ice Release Ninjutsu and the future Ice Sword.
As for Konoha... the boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge. No big deal, then I will put all the responsibility on this old pervert, and I...
Well, play it by ear.
As long as you slide and kneel quickly when facing your father-in-law, you probably won't die.
After a brief commotion, the convoy began to move forward slowly again.
The snow is still falling endlessly, covering up the traces and burying everything that just happened, leaving only new puzzles and troubles brewing in the wind and snow.
