Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Jiraiya only needs to consider how to arrange his three little apprentices, but Ito Toru, who is responsible for the security of the entire camp, has to consider much more.

"Wait, Ito."

Just as he was about to go out, Orochimaru called him.

"What's wrong? Orochimaru-sensei?"

"In order to ensure the success of the operation, I have already sent a message to Kimimaro. He is currently camping outside. As you know, it is not convenient for him to show up in the camp. Please go and give him some supplies and contact him while you are there."

"No problem, Orochimaru-sensei!"

Although Toru Ito appeared calm on the surface, he was actually complaining madly in his heart.

My goodness, it looks like the Third Kazekage will have to die this time even if he doesn't want to!

In the original work, the Red Sand Scorpion killed the Third Kazekage, and Kimimaro played a major role in killing the Fourth Kazekage...

With these two Kazekage killers combined, even the Third Kazekage might not be able to kill enough!

After coming out of Orochimaru's tent, Ito Toru first called Red Bean and came to the outside of Kato Dan's tent together.

"Brother Duan, are we coming in?"

"Ah, it's Ito, please come in."

After getting permission, Toru Ito and Red Bean walked into the tent together.

Kato Dan was in good spirits, but a little confusion flashed in his eyes from time to time, but he still made tea for the two of them.

"Please drink this. This is the medicinal tea I recently researched. It can replenish your energy a little. I plan to use this as a selling point when I open a pharmacy in the future."

"Then we won't be polite."

"Gululu..."

Kato Dan's craftsmanship is really good, and Ito Toru even tasted like herbal tea from it.

"How is it? Any good suggestions?"

Kato Dan looked at the two of them with a gentle smile on his face.

"Hmm, the taste is still a bit bitter. If you add a little sugar, it might be more popular." Toru Ito suggested.

"Yes, yes! That's what I wanted to say too!"

Hongdou echoed beside him: "If it tastes good and can replenish energy, it will definitely be a big hit!"

"Pfft... Add sugar to the medicinal tea? It seems like a good idea. I'll try it later."

After hearing the two people's suggestions, Kato Dan couldn't help laughing, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was really nothing wrong with it.

After all, this is just a medicinal tea for replenishing energy. If you just add sugar, it won’t have much impact.

"Gululu——"

Ito Toru drank the medicinal tea in one breath and wiped his mouth. Then Kato Dan had already placed the files of some important matters in the camp in front of him.

"You must be here for this, Ito. I'm already prepared."

"Brother Duan, you..."

"Haha, what's that expression on your face? Do I look like someone that fragile?"

Kato Dan patted Ito Toru's shoulder, with some emotion in his eyes: "However, I do feel uneasy. As your senior, I have to return to the village and let you young buds protect me..."

He sighed and shook his head helplessly: "I'm really a little ashamed!"

"Please don't say that, Mr. Duan!"

Hongdou stood up at the side and said excitedly: "Your contribution is obvious to all of us. This time you almost lost your life for everyone's safety. You have done enough!"

"If even you feel ashamed, how can we feel ashamed?"

"Hongdou is right, Brother Duan."

Ito Toru said seriously: "You have protected so many people, now it's our turn to protect you."

"..."

Kato Dan only felt an inexplicable warmth flowing in his heart, and an indescribable feeling of incomparable peace of mind.

Could it be that this is the transmission of the will of fire?

If Toru Ito knew what he was thinking, he would explain: No, this is called fire transmission.

After chatting with Kato Dan for a while, Kato Dan and he walked out of the tent.

The air pressure on Hongdou is a little low.

Ito Toru also noticed this.

"What's wrong Anko? You look so sullen?"

"Nothing, I can't really explain it... I just feel really uncomfortable."

"I see. By the way, I'm going to go on a mission in a few days. You will be the one taking care of Rope Tree and the kids in the medical team."

"Isn't there Nono-san? She is much more familiar than I am."

"She's going with me too, so the only person who's familiar with the affairs of the medical team, besides Lady Tsunade, is you. And you've assisted me in so many surgeries, you must be very experienced, right?"

"Is it some dangerous mission?"

"There is no mission that is not dangerous. No one can guarantee it."

"…You must come back safely."

"Of course."

Ito Toru was full of confidence: "I dare not say anything else, this time's mission——"

His voice stopped abruptly.

wrong!

Am I not setting a goal for myself?

"What happened to this mission?"

Anko asked.

"This mission is not too difficult, but not too easy either. It's very suitable!"

Ito Toru made a sharp turn and patted Hongdou on the shoulder: "Okay, I have other things to do. You just need to implement the defense details given by Brother Duan and make sure they implement them seriously."

"it is good."

Anko nodded.

After Toru Ito collected some military rations, food and ninja tools, he walked out of the camp alone without stopping, and then ran in one direction at an extremely fast speed!

That direction was exactly where Orochimaru had told him that Kimimaro was!

Not long after, Toru Ito finally arrived at his destination.

This is a small clearing in the woods with a relatively flat ground. A small tent is built in the center, and next to it are the remains of a extinguished campfire.

However, there was no sign of Kimimaro.

"..."

Ito Toru became slightly alert.

He knew that Kimimaro was definitely not someone who would wander around casually, especially under the orders of Orochimaru.

What's going on here?

The first thing he did was to go to the burnt ashes, put his palm down, and first observed the extinguishing pattern of the ashes, and then reached out to feel the temperature.

"It was forcibly extinguished. The temperature is still quite high. It should have been not long since he left."

Did anything unexpected happen?

Ito Toru turned his head and looked around.

Upon closer inspection, there were some kunai stuck in the surrounding trees, as well as traces of wire scratches.

And the bark is also quite damaged...

"There was a small battle here, and those guys from Sand Village discovered Kimimaro!"

Ito Toru's expression turned serious.
