Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Am I, still alive?" Kato Dan murmured to himself in disbelief.

He also knew a little bit of medical ninjutsu, so he knew the extent of his injuries very clearly, and they were serious enough to be fatal!

According to common sense, there is no possibility of survival!

However at this moment...

Miraculously, I am still alive and well!

Being able to breathe and feel the existence of your limbs.

but……

"Yeah! You're still alive! Dan!" If Tsunade wasn't worried about reopening Kato Dan's wound, she almost wanted to hug him tightly to express her inner excitement.

But at this moment, she could only suppress this impulse, but the joy in her eyes was almost beyond words.

"It was Ito Toru who saved you!" Tsunade's voice trembled slightly, tears flashing in her eyes, and she quickly spoke for him.

"Has Ito grown to such a powerful level..."

When Kato Dan heard the name, he was shocked at first, and then he cast his gaze towards the exhausted Ito Toru, his eyes full of surprise and gratitude: "Thank you! Ito!"

Complex emotions were stirring in his chest, making him at a loss for words for a moment.

I didn't expect that this young Genin could actually heal his own injuries!

In addition to being grateful, Kato Dan also gained a better understanding of Ito Toru.

With such ability, maybe he could let Jingyin learn from him first?

Now the successor to the Sannin has basically been determined.

Jiraiya is Minato Namikaze, Tsunade is Shizune, and Orochimaru... is Anko!

Kato Dan doesn't know why Orochimaru didn't choose Ito Toru to inherit his snake-based ninjutsu, but this does not affect Ito Toru's increasingly important influence.

Especially since Tsunade was happy to share her medical ninjutsu with him.

In the future, Toru Ito's status will definitely be extremely extraordinary!

As Kato Dan dreams of becoming Hokage, he will subconsciously consider what kind of team he will use in the future.

And Toru Ito is undoubtedly an excellent talent!

"that……"

Ito Toru scratched his head: "Brother Duan, don't be in a hurry to thank me. Although your life was saved, there are still some inevitable sequelae."

There was some embarrassment in his words.

After all, it was also the first time for Ito Toru to use Hashirama's cells. He didn't expect...

"Ah?" Tsunade was stunned: "What sequelae will there be?"

She was just happy at first and didn't expect there was this layer.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case. After all, this is a serious injury that can result in loss of life.

Even though it can be saved now, it will inevitably come with some cost.

Her heart suddenly began to lift again.

But in comparison, Kato Dan is much calmer.

"Ah... I realized what you said as soon as I woke up."

A helpless look appeared on his face: "My chakra can no longer be used, right?"

As early as when he woke up, Kato Dan had tried to mobilize the chakra in his body, but there was no response.

If it weren't for the physical movements and perception, he would have suspected that he was dead.

He just didn't say anything in order not to worry Tsunade.

Prepare to find a suitable time to speak out.

But he didn't expect that Toru Ito would actually say it on his own initiative.

Although this kind of honesty is a good quality, it can sometimes be a bit troubling...

"what?"

After Tsunade heard this, her expression suddenly froze: "Duan...you..."

She knew that her lover's ideal had always been to become Hokage, and now if he couldn't use chakra, he wouldn't even be able to use ninjutsu!

Can someone who doesn't know ninjutsu become a Hokage?

The answer is definitely no...

She was very worried that Kato Dan would be deeply affected by this.

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

Kato Dan smiled gently: "After experiencing life and death, people will always let go of some things."

"Ito, you've done well enough. I'm able to survive now, and I'm only grateful to you, um..."

He scratched his head, smiled helplessly and said, "Although I want to repay you, there is no good way now. After the war is over and I return to Konoha, I will give you some of my research materials."

"I probably won't be able to use those anyway..."

"Duan..." Tsunade looked at him worriedly.

"Don't worry, Tsunade, I'm not such a fragile person."

Kato Dan returned a comforting look: "It's a pity that I probably won't be able to participate in the next battle. It's a good opportunity for me to go back and keep Sakumo company, haha... I was thinking of opening a pharmacy after the battle, and now it seems that I can realize my dream ahead of time."

He acted very cheerful, and Kato Dan really thought so in his heart.

He was a man without many desires.

One of the purposes of wanting to become Hokage is to protect more people through one's own strength.

However, now that this goal cannot be achieved, he has to live in a different way.

If you weren't going to be Hokage, what would you do?

Kato Dan had considered this a long time ago.

So now for him, it’s just a different way of living.

"Well, maybe I can even find time to teach at the Ninja School."

Kato Dan has already begun to imagine his future life.

Hey Hey hey……

Ito Tetsu closed his eyes.

What you are about to experience is the life of my dreams!

When I think about it this way, why do I feel a little jealous for no apparent reason?

"I'm sorry, Orochimaru, I'm afraid I can't help you any more..."

Kato Dan finally looked at Orochimaru with a guilty look in his eyes: "But I still remember the information of the elite team members who fought against us. This information can be regarded as my last contribution."

"Don't blame yourself, Duan."

Orochimaru looked much more relaxed after seeing that Duan was fine.

"I'm already very happy that you're alive. We can talk about this information later. Now... maybe you have something you want to say to Tsunade?"

"Ah."

Kato Dan looked at Tsunade, his eyes full of tenderness and a little bit of guilt: "Well, Tsunade, let's talk about this somewhere else."

The two left, and Hongdou and Nono also removed the simple medical tent.

Only Ito Toru and Orochimaru were left.

"Ugh……"

Ito Toru sighed slightly.

"Why sigh?"

Orochimaru was puzzled.

"I didn't expect the side effects of Hashirama's cells to be so..."

Toru Ito shook his head. In fact, he also wanted to use Hashirama's cells to make himself stronger.

However, after using Hashirama's cells, Kato Dan not only became unable to use chakra, but his body also showed signs of partially transforming into a White Zetsu.

As we all know, White Zetsu is asexual...

Therefore, Toru Ito's plan to use Hashirama's cells to strengthen himself was silently aborted.

Of course, Orochimaru probably wouldn't mind...
