Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

On the other side, on the rooftop of the Sand Hidden Inn.

"Hiccup~"

Toru Ito touched his full stomach, lay back, and lazily lay on the chair.

"Comfortable~"

"I haven't felt so full in a long time."

Yahiko and the others were doing the same, lying down and touching their stomachs with a look of unsatisfied feeling.

“I didn’t expect barbecue to be so delicious…”

"Teacher Jiraiya also taught us to make grilled fish before, but the taste is really hard to describe..."

"Yeah, how come Ito-nii doesn't make it fishy at all?"

Xiaonan asked curiously. She also wanted to learn the barbecue technique and then learn to do it when she returned.

"It's very simple. All you need to do is apply some fishy-removing ingredients, marinate it for a while, and then grill it."

Toru Ito generously shared his secret recipe.

The main thing is that it is really troublesome to cook food in this way. If Xiaonan can learn it, he can save a lot of effort.

"There are some other details, such as..."

As Toru Ito spoke, Konan listened attentively beside him, nodding occasionally.

"Uh-huh!"

Yahiko and Nagato were so full that they could hardly speak. They just rubbed their stomachs to digest the food.

In comparison, Kimimaro's condition was better, because the training he received since childhood prevented him from eating too much, and he only looked about 60% full.

"So you are here."

After chatting with Grandma Wuli, Nono came to the rooftop following the scent.

"Nono, we left some for you, come and eat, this is delicious barbecue!"

Toru Ito invited enthusiastically. The grilled food was placed on the grill with a weak charcoal fire underneath, which kept the temperature from getting burnt and emitted an enticing aroma.

"If you're thirsty, here's the milk tea I just made."

While he was speaking, Xiaonan quickly picked up the milk tea pot, poured a cup of milk tea for Nono, and then handed it to him.

"Please try this."

"And this! This roast lamb is delicious! Miss Nono!"

Yahiko also enthusiastically promoted the roast lamb that he had just eaten and was very satisfied with.

"Thank you, children..."

Nono felt a warm feeling. Although she had never met them before, after spending these days together, she had developed a very good impression of these sensible children.

Maybe after this mission is over, I can consider asking them if they want to come to Konoha Orphanage.

Nono started to think about it.

If it were in the past, she would never have such an idea, because the orphanage under her would definitely be targeted by Danzo. Although these children look young, they are already very powerful.

It will definitely be brought to the roots!

But the situation is different now. Orochimaru and Ito Toru are going to join the Root, and with the personalities of these two people, Nono seems to have seen Danzo's tragic future...

So she also gained a little confidence in the future.

However, at this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded from a distance.

!!!

Toru Ito and his group, including the Sand Ninja who was monitoring their movements not far away, were all stunned.

"Why is there an explosion?"

"Could it be..."

Yahiko and the others all had uneasy looks on their faces.

They immediately thought of Jiraiya.

Could it be that Sensei Jiraiya had a fight with someone?

"No, not him."

Ito Toru saw everyone's worry, so he lowered his voice and said, "The direction is wrong, the distance is too far, and Jiraiya-sensei is definitely not the kind of impulsive person."

"Hold steady first."

In a bustling place, Jiraiya also heard the explosion outside. His expression froze slightly, but then he looked relaxed again.

"Oh my, do you also set off fireworks at night?"

"Master Jiraiya, you are such a joker. That's not fireworks at all. It's clearly the sound of a detonating tag exploding. You scared me~" a girl said, and then threw herself into Jiraiya's arms with a dazed look in her eyes: "Don't leave tonight, okay? Master Jiraiya."

"Yes, stay. I have a lot to say to you. We can chat until very late." Another girl also persuaded.

They seldom met such generous customers. Jiraiya was very good at spending money, and because of his long period of experience, he was particularly good at making these girls happy in some clever ways.

"I want to stay late too. Being with you two lovely girls makes me feel relaxed, but I don't have enough money right now, hahahaha!"

Jiraiya patted his purse and said with a laugh.

The necessary information has basically been obtained, and it is time to retire.

Although he also wanted to stay one more night, this was the Hidden Sand Village and he was still on a mission, so Jiraiya still had a lot of self-control.

So he finished his last glass of wine, ate something light, and left under the reluctant gazes of the two girls.

"Take care, Master Jiraiya. Please come and visit us next time."

"Hahahahaha! Of course!"

Jiraiya walked crookedly, raised his hand and waved goodbye, looking like he was drunk.

However, although he looked drunk, he was actually glancing around in secret with the corner of his eye. After finding that no one was following him, he staggered to the corner of the street, dodged slightly, and entered the darkness. The next second, he disappeared.

Swish! Swish!

Jiraiya was moving quickly across the rooftop, heading in the direction where the explosion had come from.

His expression was serious, completely different from his usual eccentric look.

Because there was a strong chakra fluctuation coming from there, not only that...

"These Sand Ninjas are actually indifferent?"

If such a commotion had happened in Konoha, countless ninjas would have rushed in that direction, but the Sand Ninjas did not react at all.

Jiraiya felt something was wrong, but he had the Sage Mode as a trump card, so he was not too worried.

"Psychicism!"

To be on the safe side, he also summoned the Sage Fukasaku and the Sage Shima in advance.

"Hey! Little Jiraiya, are you in trouble again?"

Two toad sages stood on Jiraiya's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

"This dry smell... is in the Hidden Sand Village."

"The chakra in front feels very special too. Is it the Third Kazekage? The strongest Kazekage of all generations is actually fighting!"

"Two immortals, can you sense it?"

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised and pleased, so he stopped.

In that case, there's no need to get so close.

The risk is a bit high.
