This sentence really had an effect. Watanabe and Jiri looked at each other and looked back at the same time.

Because the pursuers of Amegakure Village were behind him, Watanabe was unable to escape towards Konoha. From the beginning, he wanted to go to the Country of Whirlpool with Jiri to ask for help.

The Country of Uzumaki is Konoha's staunchest ally. It even sent troops to support Konoha during the First Ninja War. Watanabe believes that the Country of Uzumaki will not stand idly by after knowing what happened to him and Jiri.

But he never expected that he would meet a man here who claimed to be the daimyo of the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

"You said you are the daimyo of the Kingdom of Whirlpool?" Watanabe stopped and confirmed with him.

"Yes, it's absolutely true!" The daimyo nodded, treating Zhili behind him as a life-saving straw.

Of course he had heard of Uchiha Jiri's reputation and had seen her photo, so he could recognize her at a glance.

The daimyo felt that with Uchiha Jiri's reputation and strength, not to mention defeating Sansho Hanzo, at least bringing him back to the Country of Whirlpool would be no problem.

Watanabe looked at the other person suspiciously.

I saw that the man had red hair. From this point of view, he was definitely a member of the Uzumaki tribe. He was about fifty years old. There were three people dressed as guards standing next to him. They all looked almost as embarrassed as himself and had many flaws on their bodies.

Oozing blood.

There was also a pretty red-haired lolita hiding behind the man, with half of her eyes exposed and quietly observing her.

"Teacher, have you seen the Daimyo of Whirlpool Country?" Watanabe asked Jiri.

Zhili shook his head: "I've never seen it."

She has never dealt with the Daimyo of the Country of Whirlpool, so she cannot judge the authenticity of the man's identity.

"Your Excellency Jiri, I am really a daimyo. I am not lying to you. Your Uzumaki Mito of Konoha is my aunt!" The daimyo explained anxiously. Uchiha Jiri is the only one who can save him at the moment, and he must gain her trust.

.

Watanabe believed him somewhat after hearing this. He had heard Tsunade mention the relationship between the Daimyo of Uzumaki Country and Mito before, and Tsunade also said that she had a little cousin named Kushina.

"Who is this little girl?" Watanabe looked at the red-haired loli behind him.

Daimyo introduced: "She is my daughter, her name is Uzumaki Kushina."

Watanabe nodded: "Okay, I believe you are a daimyo."

The daimyo was full of bitterness. In his eyes, Watanabe was just a young boy. What was the use of Watanabe believing that he was a daimyo? What he wanted was for Uchiha Jiri to believe.

"Your Excellency Zhili, do you believe it?" He looked at Zhili with earnest eyes.

Zhili hugged Watanabe's neck tightly and said calmly: "Watanabe believes in you, and I believe it."

"Well……"

The daimyo was stunned. Only then did he realize that something was wrong with Jiri's situation. She was actually being carried on someone else's back. The boy he called Watanabe seemed to be very close to her. It was unclear whether the two were siblings or a couple.

Now that the identity of the other party's daimyo has been confirmed, Watanabe definitely cannot ignore them. The purpose of his trip was to seek help from the Country of Whirlpool.

It's just that the daimyo seems to need help more than him and Jiri at this moment.

"How could a famous person like you be in such a miserable state?" Watanabe asked in surprise.

The daimyo now understood that Watanabe held great weight in Jiri's mind and did not dare to look down upon him as an ordinary young man. He said with a complex expression: "This matter is a long story."

"I just came back from a visit to the Kingdom of Earth today. Unexpectedly, I was ambushed by Sanho Hanzo on the way. Fortunately, my guards fought to the death to protect me, so I was able to escape temporarily. Presumably Sanho Hanzo is leading his men everywhere to search for my whereabouts."

After hearing the daimyo's explanation, Watanabe suddenly had an enlightenment, and several nodes that he had not thought through before were all connected in series.

So that's the case, no wonder Hanzo said when he saw Jiri for the first time that he didn't expect Konoha's rescue speed to be so fast, and that he and others must be driven away and killed.

It turns out that Hanzo mistook Jiri for the reinforcements sent by Konoha to rescue the Uzumaki Country's daimyo. Uzumaki Heiji and other Uzumaki Country businessmen were probably mistaken by Hanzo for the daimyo himself.

"It turns out that the cause of everything lies with you, and you have made us miserable tonight!" Watanabe couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, their team could easily complete the task of escorting the caravan, but due to changes in the name of the country of whirlpool, Hinata Rei and Beiliu didn't know if they were safe now.

"Did I hurt you?"

The daimyo looked at Zhili in confusion.

Zhili paid no attention to him, but lay quietly on Watanabe's back. Suddenly he saw two drops of sweat coming out of Watanabe's forehead. He stretched out his hand to wipe it for him considerately, without any concern at all in front of outsiders.

"I have a long story to say," Watanabe said, "Now is not the time to talk. Hanzo may come after you at any time. Let's run towards the Country of Whirlpool first."

"Okay." The daimyo agreed.

He knew in his heart that even with Uchiha Jiri, the most he could do was help him escape back to the Kingdom of Whirlpool. He would never be able to defeat Hanzo and the others head-on. It would still be very dangerous for him to be overtaken by the enemy.

Just as the daimyo was about to set off with Watanabe, Kushina, who was hiding behind him, pulled his trouser leg and said pitifully: "Dad, I'm so tired, I can't run anymore..."

The daimyo reluctantly picked her up.

Watanabe noticed that there was a wound on the daimyo's left arm, with blood seeping out of it. When he picked up Kushina, his expression was slightly unnatural.

Looking at the three guards next to the daimyo, each of them was seriously injured. It was very difficult for them to take care of themselves, and they could no longer bear the extra load.

"Let me hug her."

Watanabe reached out and took Kushina.

The daimyo quickly expressed his gratitude: "Sorry for bothering you, little brother."

Even if he wanted to be polite to Watanabe, he couldn't be polite. He was just an ordinary person, not a ninja. In addition, his arm had been slashed by the ninja of Amegakure Village before, so he couldn't hold his daughter for long.

Being embraced by Watanabe, Kushina was a little overwhelmed, imitating her father and whispering thanks: "Thank you, big brother."

Big brother?

Watanabe had never been called like this before. He felt that Tsunade's little cousin was quite cute and he held her little soft body steady.

"You're welcome, Lord Daimyo, we'll be on our way now."

Watanabe spoke in a relaxed tone, but Jiri frowned in displeasure.

She knew better than anyone else that Watanabe had suffered very serious internal injuries. He had vomited a lot of blood while carrying her along the way, and now it was adding to his burden.

It's better that I didn't meet the daimyo just now!

"Sister, are you too tired to run?"

Kushina blinked like a curious baby and asked Jiri.

One of them was carried by Watanabe, the other was held by Watanabe, and they were very close to each other.

Jiri was dissatisfied with the burden she had placed on Watanabe and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Sister, your eyes are so beautiful!"

Kushina discovered the new continent and stared at Jiri's Sharingan in surprise.

"Big sister needs to rest, don't disturb her." Watanabe warned Kushina.

He knew very well that Jiri had a cold attitude toward everyone, and Kushina's overtures to her were almost destined to be met with disgrace.
