Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Ah, I feel it too."

Ito Toru shrugged nonchalantly.

"Isn't this normal? It would be strange if outsiders like us were not monitored."

"Ok."

Seeing that he didn't agree, Kimimaro just nodded and didn't say much.

After all, in his opinion, Toru Ito's strength and strategy are stronger than his own.

Kimimaro positioned himself as a tool specifically responsible for fighting.

What he meant by asking was actually whether he needed to solve the problem himself.

And Ito Toru's answer made him temporarily put down his fighting mentality.

"Relax a little, Kimimaro."

Ito Toru patted Kimimaro's shoulder with a smile, then handed him a bag of snacks: "Try this, the Sand Village is a good place for drying meat, it's delicious."

“……” Kimimaro wanted to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ito Toru stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth.

"Try it!"

"Bah, bah, bah."

"How about it?"

"good to eat."

Although Kimimaro was ignorant, he had not yet learned to lie, so he answered very seriously.

"Then eat more."

The two of them were eating as they walked, and not far behind them, there was a small hooded figure following them silently.

After walking along the entire street, Ito Toru walked back contentedly with Kimimaro, carrying large and small bags.

"I don't understand, what's the point of buying so many things..."

Kimimaro held it in for a long time before finally saying this.

"You don't understand, this thing is called sharing."

Ito Toru had a grin on his face.

"But it doesn't matter, you will know later."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived in front of the small hotel.

"By the way, let's put some things on our camels."

Toru Ito suddenly remembered that he and his companions were still carrying a few camels. If they wanted to get out normally later, they would still need these camels to cross the desert.

Moreover, these are old camels that have traveled through the desert and are very valuable.

The two men came to the back where the camels were temporarily tied.

All the camels stayed here obediently. Grandma Wuli prepared fresh hay for them. This term sounds contradictory, but it is difficult to find fresh grass in this desert area.

So this level of grass is already considered very dry.

"Hmm...it seems like they are all well taken care of, these good kids."

Ito Toru patted everyone's head one by one, while Kimimaro loaded the things onto the camels one by one.

"..."

The two of them suddenly stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked back sharply.

There was a small figure, who stood behind the two of them at some point!

"who are you?"

Ito Toru narrowed his eyes.

This person...is not simple!

Although his perception ability is not as good as that of a professional perception ninja, it is not weak enough to be discovered only when someone is so close!

And Kimimaro even took a fighting stance!

“It doesn’t matter who I am.”

The little figure spoke, he raised his head, and on his face was a cheap wooden mask that only revealed his eyes.

"The important thing is, I want you to take me out of the Hidden Sand Village."

"Take you out of the Hidden Sand Village?"

Ito Toru narrowed his eyes and noticed the other person's red curly hair.

I was also a little shocked.

Hey, hey, hey...no way?

He had already guessed the identity of the man in front of him.

Scorpion of the red sand!

Why didn't you leave immediately after killing the Third Kazekage? Why are you looking for us?!

But right now, both sides are in a delicate situation.

They all don't want to reveal their presence in the Hidden Sand Village, and each of them has their own ulterior motives.

So Ito Toru laughed:

"Why are you looking for us for something like this? Can't you just go out directly? No one is stopping you."

"Besides, we came here with the boss. The boss won't let us go back until all the goods are sold out."

"Then I need to talk to your boss."

Scorpio obviously refused to give up.

It was only after careful consideration that he finally decided to approach Toru Ito and his group.

First of all, there were no other outsiders here who could help him leave.

Secondly, so far only this caravan has crossed the desert and arrived at the Hidden Sand Village, so the only way to get out of the desert is to follow them.

Of course, after walking out of the desert, Scorpion did not intend to let this group of people go!

He wants to completely erase all traces of himself!

Toru Ito was also aware of this, so he was extremely conflicted.

20 minute later.

"What?"

Jiraiya, who had just woken up, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

Around him, Ito Toru, Yahiko, Nono, Nagato, Kimimaro, and Konan formed a semicircle.

And in front of him, Scorpion was still wearing his broken mask.

"I seem to have heard something just now. Please say it again."

"I made it very clear."

Scorpion was a little angry.

"I want you to take me away from the Hidden Sand Village, and then I will pay you enough."

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions were all a little strange.

"you……"

Jiraiya's expression was as if his thumb had kicked the bed.

"You're still a kid, right?"

"You had a quarrel with your family, so you want to run away from home?"

"This is no joke. Let's not even talk about whether you can pay me..."

Wow!

Scorpion pulled out a heavy purse and dropped it on the floor in front of him.

Ito Toru raised his eyebrows slightly.

Just by listening to the sound, there must be no less than 100,000 taels in it!

Ah yes!

He looked at Scorpion, then at Yahiko and Nagato.

If you think about it carefully, this is your part!

One of the future core members of Akatsuki!

Just like that, it came to my door!

"Well, Master Jiraiya, I don't think it's impossible."

Ito Toru quietly went up and said.

? !

Jiraiya looked at him in shock: "Hey, hey...are you kidding me, taking such a young child on the road?"

"If his parents come looking for us, we will definitely be considered human traffickers! This will damage my reputation!"

His parents probably...can't be found, right?

The corner of Ito Toru's mouth twitched slightly.

We have to thank an old friend we all know - Konoha White Fang.

What a hell of a joke!

"There won't be any problems."

Scorpio suppressed his anger. He was a very impatient person and was unwilling to wait.

But now I have to deal with these people again.

"Besides, I can help you sell out the goods quickly, and I also have a way to get you out quickly."

"As long as you take me with you."

"real or fake?"

When Scorpion said this, Jiraiya immediately became interested.

"If you don't believe me, you can start now. You can set up the stall and I will help you sell all the goods."

"Then we can buy some supplies and leave the Hidden Sand Village before night."

Scorpion said in a calm tone.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

A thoughtful look appeared in Jiraiya's eyes, and he turned to look at Ito Toru.

【Promise him! 】

This message was conveyed in Ito Toru's eyes.

"OK then."

Jiraiya finally nodded and agreed.
