Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

“I haven’t thought about the specific content yet.”

Jiraiya crossed his arms, looking like a great writer in deep thought.

"But the protagonist should be a ninja who is full of perseverance and grows step by step through his own efforts and finally becomes the Hokage."

"Wow!"

Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up: "It sounds like it's very powerful!"

"This kind of novel...I guess it won't sell once you hear it."

Toru Ito couldn't help but complain from the side.

"How can it be?!"

Jiraiya immediately became excited: "Just think about it, what a great idea this is!"

"Ninja, hard work, friendship, victory!"

“How can a book like this not sell?”

His face turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because the hot spring water was too hot or because he was anxious.

"You say it, you say it!"

"Then I'll just say it straight?"

"Just say it! I'm not someone who gives up so easily!"

Jiraiya was full of confidence.

"I won't say anything more. The most fundamental reason is that civilians are not interested in the world of ninjas at all."

Ito Toru spread his hands: "Even for us ninjas, apart from the mission period, few people are willing to talk about ninja life."

"Uh--"

Jiraiya was stunned, his pupils trembling slightly. He wanted to refute, but what Ito Toru said was indeed right.

And what Orochimaru said today echoed in his mind again.

What exactly is a ninja?

Watching the war about to break out, but being powerless to do anything, and peace being a distant dream, will the ninja life that he wants to depict really happen?

Jiraiya was a little confused.

If he was just joking at first, now he began to think seriously.

Is what I am doing now really meaningful?

But no matter how you think about it, the answer is no!

The mission they carry out is to kill, and the students they train continue to engage in this endless killing.

But no one thinks it's wrong.

Everyone thinks this is normal, this is how ninjas should be...

But, is this really right?

In an instant, Jiraiya seemed to have suffered some kind of major blow and suddenly became depressed.

The autism is so visible to the naked eye that even water mist can’t block it!

It fell into the eyes of Toru Ito and Minato Namikaze.

"How...how could this happen?"

Namikaze Minato was horrified: "Teacher Jiraiya! What happened to you?"

Hey, it's so easy to get frustrated!

The corners of Ito Toru's mouth twitched. He hadn't even finished speaking, so why was he so devastated?

But seeing that Jiraiya was so depressed, Ito Toru didn't continue talking, but just looked at him with a quiet and sympathetic look from the side.

"Don't give up, Jiraiya-sensei!"

At this time, Namikaze Minato showed his little sun characteristics and cheered him up: "I think your idea is very good, I like to see this kind of thing!"

"I will definitely read it when you write it!"

"really?"

"real!"

"Wow, wow, wow! You're still the best, Minato! It's decided! When I finish writing this book, I'll be the first to read it to you!"

"It's such an honor! Jiraiya-sensei!"

Namikaze Minato smiled happily.

Hey, hey, hey...are you serious?

Ito Toru was shocked.

Looking at Minato Namikaze's happy expression, it doesn't seem like he is pretending at all. He seems to be really looking forward to the story that Jiraiya will write.

"Humph!"

Jiraiya, who regained his motivation, raised his chin and looked at Ito Toru: "Ito boy, even though you just badmouthed me, I won't care about these little setbacks!"

"After my book is published, I will give you a copy too! Hahahahahaha!"

You obviously care about it, okay? I was so depressed just now that I almost turned into a black and white picture!

Ito Toru complained in his heart.

"Okay."

Jiraiya pretended to be heroic and said, "Forget about these things. After all, next... whether I will have time to sit down and write a book is a problem."

His tone suddenly became a little deep.

War is about to break out.

And it was the second war that engulfed the ninja world.

Konoha cannot stay out of it.

Especially today, the news brought by those Cloud Ninjas. Because Sarutobi Hiruzen valued his three disciples very much, he informed Jiraiya and the other two of this important news.

The Rain Country has produced a ninja known as "Demi-God", whose name is Hanzo. He is very powerful, and his abilities are currently unknown, but he seems to be intent on leading his homeland, the Rain Country located between the Wind Country and the Fire Country, to fight a bloody path forward!

The ambitious demigod, like a hungry lion, is scanning his neighbors with greedy eyes, wanting to tear off a piece of meat!

War is inevitable.

The reason why the Cloud Ninja from the Land of Lightning came here was to discuss this matter with Konoha.

Although the Kingdom of Thunder is far away from the mainland, if a war breaks out, it will inevitably be involved.

Especially the Land of Earth, which is very hostile to them.

So the reason they came this time was to discuss the subsequent battle line and also to test Konoha's attitude.

After receiving this news, Minato Namikaze did not feel at ease, but became even more uneasy.

Because with Jiraiya's identity and strength, as long as a war breaks out, he will definitely go to the battlefield!

In order to reassure Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya brought him to take a hot spring bath.

Then he met Toru Ito who came to take a bath alone.

"Could it be that, Master Jiraiya, you are also..."

Ito Toru was slightly stunned.

"Hahaha! Don't think too much." Jiraiya rubbed Ito Toru's hair, and by the way, he used his other hand to rub Minato Namikaze's hair.

"You young sprouts, just grow up healthily."

"We adults will help you shatter the darkness of this era!"

His voice was not loud, but as each word came out, Jiraiya's belief became stronger and stronger, and his somewhat lazy eyes slowly gathered a certain power.

Protect them no matter what.

At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly understood the will of fire that had been passed down from the first Hokage.

Really... If I told Tsunade this, she would definitely laugh at me.

Say things like, "You're quite funny when you're serious."

But it doesn't matter.

The belief in my heart has been strengthened, and now all I have to do is to do it!

"Let's go, Minato."

Jiraiya called out, so Minato Namikaze also stood up, and before leaving, he did not forget to turn back and say goodbye to Toru Ito.

"Goodbye, Ito."

"Goodbye, Namikaze, and Master Jiraiya."

"Hahaha! I hope you'll be stronger when we meet next time, Ito!"

Toru Ito looked at the two people's departing backs through the misty water vapor.

"..."

This guy... is inexplicably handsome.

I hope Jiraiya can finish writing that novel which doesn't sound very attractive.

Who knows, it might be a better novel than you expected.

Although there is little hope.

Wow.

Toru Ito also stood up, wiped the water off his body, and walked out slowly.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly covered half of the moon.
