Chapter 242 Postman (1)
Walking on the rough mountain road back to the village, Sakura couldn't help but think of what Lady Tsunade said before she left.
"Sakura, you know the current economic situation of the village, so we can only let the existing capable ninjas do some solo missions. This is your solo mission."
Although it is a single-player mission, it is actually just some simple Allied missions.
As for this mission, the castle construction project was short of manpower, which is not really a ninja mission, right? However, as a ninja, it would be more efficient, but fortunately it has been completed.
But is the village's economy very bad? Probably not, mainly because ever since Tsunade-sama became the fifth Hokage, gambling debts from all over the country have been sent to the village.
Originally, the village was considered wealthy, but in the face of those sky-high gambling debts, it seemed like a drop in the bucket, so they could only do more tasks. The tasks for this village were limited in number and the amounts were relatively low. The commissions obtained from completing more tasks from the allies were also relatively high.
Looking at the steaming hot spring not far away, Sakura was thinking about relaxing when a person suddenly ran past her. She didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky.
If he was lucky, there was a rockfall when he passed by; if he was unlucky, all the letters in his backpack flew into the sky.
Sakura used the Shadow Clone Technique to pick up the letters scattered in the air one by one, and then landed on the flat ground below the mountain road. Looking at the man's attire and the letters, he was probably the so-called Hikyaku Ninja, a professional who guards the items entrusted by the guests with his life and ensures that they arrive safely at their destination. In layman's terms, he is a postman.
The man then counted the collected letters, "23, 24, 25, 26, all are here! Thanks to you, all the mail is intact."
Sakura didn't care about that. "You're welcome." She glanced at the code on the man's head. 596-03...
The postman also hurriedly carried the letters on his back and ran towards the next village. "Oh no, I can't keep the guests waiting for too long. So, I'll take my leave now!"
Arriving at the village, Sakura looked at the people coming and going on the street, but her purpose was just to soak in a hot spring, so it didn't matter which one she went to...
But in broad daylight, I could actually hear that embarrassing sound... ...Huh? This sound... ...
Sakura looked up in the direction of the voice and saw the familiar white hair and the women's words, "Oh, Xiao Zizi, you are so weird~"
"Did I?"
This isn't... ...Sakura's mouth twitched, "Lord Jiraiya?"
The two looked at each other and found a quiet room.
Sakura was sitting in her seat, but her cold voice made people shudder. "Jiraiya-sama, didn't I hear that you were going to carry out the mission assigned by Tsunade-sama? And it was an important mission, so why are you in this place? And Naruto is training alone in the village, I wonder what he would do if he knew you were in a place like this?"
"Uh, don't, don't be angry, Sakura..." Jiraiya thought of Naruto. He was indeed letting him practice alone because of the mission. If he knew that he was picking up girls here, he would definitely make a big fuss...
