Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Orochimaru, are you kidding me?"

Because it was so outrageous, Jiraiya thought he was hallucinating.

"Teacher, how could he agree to such an outrageous thing?"

Jiraiya could not imagine that the amiable Sarutobi Hiruzen would agree to such a thing.

"The signed order is over there, would you like to see it?"

Orochimaru pointed to the table next to him.

“…I still won’t watch it.”

Jiraiya sat on the stool.

It's like all the strength has been drained away from me.

When he came back, he was still full of energy and even a little proud.

I feel like I have accomplished a great mission.

But now he just felt like a clown.

What is the so-called effort...what is it for?

"It's rare to see you like this, Jiraiya."

Orochimaru was also very annoyed, but when he saw Jiraiya looking like a drowned dog, his anger dissipated a little.

"What should we do? Orochimaru, we can't really let those young juniors come to the battlefield to be baptized by fire, right?"

"Well, what Danzo is doing is nothing more than putting pressure on us and forcing us to adopt an active offensive strategy."

"Why is he so obsessed with taking the initiative?"

"He must have his own agenda, but I'm not sure about it yet."

"If not, wait for Ito to come back and ask him. That kid is always smart, maybe he can guess something."

"I think so."

And outside the Konoha camp.

"Aqiu!"

Ito Toru sneezed loudly and rubbed his nose.

"Who misses me so much? Is it Anko? Or Yuina?"

"I haven't seen them for a long time. I miss them."

"...There are quite a few people you miss."

Kimimaro made ruthless comments nearby.

"Haha! This is what they call a bond."

Ito Toru laughed.

"Just like after we separate, I will miss you too."

"Whatever you want, I'll just miss Orochimaru-sama."

"……All right."

The corners of Ito Toru's mouth twitched.

You look like... you're bewitched by Orochimaru?

"Then I will go back first. You can stay in this camp for now."

Toru Ito dusted himself off. He had just been helping Kimimaro set up a more comfortable campsite.

Because Kimimaro will live here for a long time.

There would be no way to go back until the war was over.

"Ah."

"I'm leaving."

"it is good."

"Bye-Bye."

Toru Ito waved his hand, then quickly ran towards the Konoha camp!

After watching his figure disappear, Kimimaro returned to his camp, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes, and curled up his body.

His breathing gradually became calmer.

Slowly fell asleep.

And Toru Ito suddenly stopped one mile away from the Konoha camp!

"..."

He slowly placed his hand on the ninja tool bag, his expression slightly serious.

The scene around me at this moment seemed to be no different.

The wind was still blowing through the woods, the leaves rustled, and tiny fallen leaves were blown down, swirling in the wind and blowing past in front of me.

There are still birds singing and insects chirping in the woods.

However, a vague sense of crisis always lingered in Ito Toru's heart.

"Come out."

He spoke slowly.

There was still no movement around him, as if everything was just his own worry.

This sense of crisis is very weak, just like a faint singing voice floating in an empty valley.

Very faint, but it is there!

"You still won't come out?"

Toru Ito took out the detonating tag and kunai.

"Then I'll blow up everything around here! Let's see if you can get out!"

Since we don't know where the threat comes from, just use saturation carpet bombing!

Moreover, he could probably guess who was hiding in the dark.

To possess such stealth abilities, he must be a very powerful ninja.

And then it became like this again.

Only one person meets all the requirements!

"Humph."

Sure enough, an old man's cold snort came from the darkness.

Then Danzo slowly walked out from the darkness.

"Young man, are you so impatient? Your training is not yet complete!"

He looked at Ito Toru with some displeasure and a scolding tone.

You're worthy of it. Going to KTV right away?

"It's Danzo-sama."

Ito Toru complained in his heart, and at the same time stopped attacking, deliberately showing a puzzled look and said: "You are..."

"I heard you were back, so I came to see you."

Danzo glanced behind Ito Toru and asked, "You came back alone?"

"What about the others besides Jiraiya and Nono?"

"They have all gone back."

"Just let them go like this?"

"Well, I'll give them the reward later."

"..."

Danzo's eyes suddenly became fierce: "If you let them go like this, what if they reveal information that is unfavorable to Konoha after they return?"

"Then we'll do it after they tell everyone."

Ito Toru shrugged, and at the same time raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Could it be that Master Danzo wants us to get rid of the donkey after it has done its work?"

"Or does Lord Danzo intend to personally help us solve the problem?"

"Your ideas are dangerous."

Danzo looked at Ito Toru with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"This is not what the Will of Fire is supposed to look like."

?

Ito Toru almost couldn't hold back his expression.

You are the person who is least qualified to talk about the Will of Fire, and yet you even commented on me that this is not what the Will of Fire should be like!

Is there any mistake?

However, Ito Toru did not express his inner complaints, but instead said with a hint of amusement:

"Then, Master Danzo, what do you think we should do?"

"Since you let him go, then let him go. However, if any serious consequences occur in the future, you, Jiraiya, and Nono, you will all be responsible for it!"

Danzo had a stern expression, like a serious and upright superior.

What a great way to put the blame on someone!

This whole process went on really smoothly.

It's simply a textbook version of KTV!

You are the only one in the ninja world who can master it to this level without any teacher!

Toru Ito was cursing in his heart, but on the surface he looked terrified.

"Ah yes yes."

"Humph."

Seeing him like this, Danzo finally felt a little satisfied and continued to attack.

"besides."

"I heard you wanted to join the Root again?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

"What do you think our roots are? You can come and go as you please?"

"Logically speaking, since you've been rejected once, you shouldn't have the chance to join the Root in your lifetime."

Danzo frowned and deliberately left a long pause to create psychological pressure on Ito Toru.

Are you playing tricks on your dad?

The corner of Ito Toru's mouth twitched slightly.

Danzo's style makes him look like a nouveau riche with no real ability and a conceited attitude.

"but!"

Feeling that the time was right, Danzo spoke again with emphasis.

"As the leader of the Root Organization, I decided to make an exception and give you this opportunity!"
