Chapter 243 Postman (2)
Sakura picked up the hot tea in front of her, put it to her lips and blew it, "I'm not Naruto, Master Jiraiya, please don't try to find all kinds of excuses to evade me."
"No! It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. I'm here to collect materials, to collect materials! Actually, I'm busy writing the final volume of Intimate Paradise!" Jiraiya waved his hand quickly, saying very embarrassedly.
"But I heard it was for a mission." Sakura didn't buy it. After all, she didn't expect Lord Jiraiya to tell her the truth.
"Don't worry! I am definitely doing the mission! Don't tell Naruto about this, lest this brat bother me again..." Jiraiya stood up and leaned against the window, "In fact, I got news that a member of the Akatsuki organization will be here the day after tomorrow."
As he spoke, he glanced at Sakura, who paused while drinking her hot tea, then returned to normal, "Akatsuki? No wonder Naruto wasn't informed of this... Was it Uchiha Itachi?"
After all, Naruto knew that Uchiha Itachi was a member of the Akatsuki organization, and Sasuke went to great lengths to leave the village and join Orochimaru in order to seek revenge on Uchiha Itachi. So if there were clues about Uchiha Itachi, there might be clues about Sasuke.
"I'm not sure, and the purpose is unknown, but maybe the truth will come out the day after tomorrow. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I want to make good use of this time." Jiraiya crossed his arms, his eyes flickering as he looked at the street, as if he was thinking about something.
Sakura put down the hot tea and looked at the paper and pen beside her, thinking about the truthfulness of Jiraiya's words, "Then I won't bother you, Master Jiraiya. If you need anything, I'll live next door."
"Ah... okay, okay..." Jiraiya was helpless, but this request was actually not bad and could be agreed to.
The reason why Sakura stayed in this hotel was not only because of the Akatsuki organization, but also to soak in the hot spring. After all, the reason she came here was to soak in a hot spring and relax.
After quickly changing into a bathrobe, I came to the women's bath. The steam slowly rising from the hot water surrounded the thick stone slabs and damp rock shelves around the pool.
Sakura tested the water temperature before slowly walking into the pool. She couldn't help but sigh that she could take a hot spring bath after a busy day. It was like stealing a half-day of leisure in her life. She was just a passer-by in the world, but now she is a fairy in the hot spring.
In this misty air, Sakura's cheeks were flushed from the smoke. She leaned against a corner to take a rest. The lush trees were reflected in the clear hot water. She felt the blood surging in her body, but her heart was exceptionally peaceful and clear.
But it's a pity, it would be better if Naruto came here too, maybe this is just to watch the fun?
One cannot soak in the hot spring for too long, so after calculating the time lightly, Sakura got up and returned to her room, where she had a simple dinner. However, she didn't know how Lord Jiraiya's manuscript was going.
But I didn’t expect to see that familiar yellow-haired person as soon as I went out?
"Naruto? Aren't you going on a solo mission?"
"Ah! It's Sakura! After finishing that mission, I thought I'd take a hot spring bath to relax, but I saw the lecherous immortal peeping at me... Sakura, why are you here?"
Sakura looked at the envelope in Naruto's hand, a trace of confusion flashed across her face, "I'm here to take a hot spring bath, too."
Naruto gave Sakura a thumbs up, "As expected of you Sakura! I'm going to send the manuscript of The Lecherous Sage to the publisher now!"
You finished it so quickly? You're really quick, Master Jiraiya...
However, Naruto slipped when he was going down the stairs and bumped into other people who were sending letters and the postman, and the manuscript in his hand flew out.
But the person who sent the letter quickly put the flying paper back into the envelope and handed it to the postman.
Naruto touched his butt, then stood up from the ground and handed the envelopes containing the manuscripts to the postman. After doing all this, Naruto walked up with satisfaction and whispered to Sakura: "That lecherous sage is really something. Didn't I just show him the seduction technique? He fainted directly, and I still want me to take care of him..."
"Fainted? Then what about those manuscripts?" An idea flashed through Sakura's mind... No way?
"Ah? Those? Those are all my masterpieces!" Naruto was very proud. They were the essence that he had spent an entire afternoon writing!
"... ...If anything happens, remember to call me..." I hope everything will be fine when Lord Jiraiya wakes up?
"Ah, okay!"
Seeing Naruto walking into the room in a good mood, Sakura couldn't help but sneer. Naruto still met her. It could only be said that it was a coincidence. However, such a day was really nice.
------
As expected, Jiraiya roared early in the morning, "You idiot, you are destroying my reputation. Didn't you say you sent it to the publisher? How did you send it?"
Sakura can imagine what Naruto looks like, but the person Naruto sent yesterday was a Hikyaku ninja. He is not an ordinary postman, but an iron-blooded organization that is not restricted by any country or organization and will do its best to deliver the item to the recipient no matter what it is.
Sakura leaned against the door to her room, and as expected she saw Lord Jiraiya and Naruto storm out of the room.
Several people ran towards the postman. In the words of Lord Jiraiya, they would do whatever it takes to get back the manuscript written by Naruto.
Jiraiya was very familiar with the route. After all, if he wanted to go to the publishing house, he had to take this road. The key was how to shorten the distance caused by the time difference. It was rumored that the flying kick ninja had extraordinary leg strength.
Such a fast chase made Sakura feel a little tired. Naruto on the side said, "Sexy sage, slow down a bit..."
Jiraiya said without turning his head: "This is also a kind of training. Lack of leg strength is also a weakness. As a ninja, no matter what situation you face, you must treat it as training, day and night!"
That makes sense, as expected of Jiraiya-sama, he has such a profound understanding...
However, when they arrived at the next village, they were forced to stop.
After all, the layout of this village is like a maze. Sakura couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if Hinata or Neji were here at this time. After all, the Byakugan can ignore the terrain and can see the exit directly."
Jiraiya seemed to be inspired, "Baigan? Oh, there is such a thing!"
