Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

I still want you to give me a chance, who the hell do you think you are?

Ito Toru was speechless, but nodded quickly.

"Hi!"

"very good."

Seeing Ito Toru's fearful expression, Danzo was very satisfied and he enjoyed this feeling.

Due to his limited talent and low self-esteem, he liked the way these young geniuses showed respect to him.

"Do your job well, and the benefits of joining the roots are beyond your imagination."

"You'll know when you return to Konoha."

"Also, I want you to find a way to increase the intensity of this war."

"Increase the intensity?"

Ito Toru looked embarrassed: "But I am just a logistics officer of the medical team. It's ok if I can increase the dosage of medicine, but how can I increase the intensity of the war?"

"That's easy to say. Your teacher Orochimaru's Will of Fire is not strong enough and he is unwilling to cooperate with me. But I can see that you are different from him."

When Danzo saw that Ito Toru did not refuse but asked a question, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly, and then he began to persuade him.

"Look, these guys from Sand Village won't give up their fantasy of war unless they are hurt. Now is a perfect opportunity!"

"They must be completely defeated!"

"If we let them negotiate peace like this, they might still harbor illusions, thinking that the last loss to Konoha was entirely due to this or that reason, and then make full preparations for a war, and then there will be another war in the future!"

"Who can bear this once, twice, three times?"

"Can you bear it? I can't bear it anyway!"

"So, whether it's for Konoha or for the future, we must have a super big victory!"

While saying these words, Danzo also adopted a far-sighted attitude.

"That Sarutobi guy is just too kind and has fantasies about everything."

"If it were peacetime, I wouldn't say anything."

"But his kindness and weakness have led to the outbreak of the current war."

???

Ito Toru will definitely be defeated by Danzo's tricks.

You, the one who always blames others, are still trying to pass on the blame, right?

It’s a good thing that the Third Hokage died early in the original work, otherwise he would have to take a lot of blame for you!

"Ito, don't you think so?"

Danzo changed the subject and looked at him.

"I think Danzo-sama has a great idea!"

Toru Ito could only clasp his hands together.

"very good."

Danzo was overjoyed and patted Ito Toru on the shoulder.

"Orochimaru is unreliable. I've also seen the ninjas in the camp. They're all half-baked. None of them are useful."

"Don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ. I will give you a 12-man root squad to command."

"This……"

Toru Ito was really surprised this time, but he quickly reacted.

What do you mean by "let me take charge"? You sound nice, but in fact you just want 12 people to monitor me, right?

It's really a huge investment!

However, on the surface, Toru Ito looked grateful.

"How does this work?"

"You deserve this."

The smile in Danzo's eyes became even more intense.

"I have been paying attention to you from the beginning. You, like me, are the ones who should walk in the darkness and silently protect the village."

No, we are different!

"After I leave, all the Root's operations on the front line will be under your control. I hope you can work hard and live up to my high expectations."

"This is your proof of identity. Keep it well and don't lose it."

Danzo handed a pitch-black mark to Toru Ito, gave him a few more instructions, and then left.

"..."

Toru Ito stood there, a little confused at first, but soon understood.

Good guy!

You are passing the buck to me!

On the surface, Danzo seemed like the kind of magnanimous hero who would not doubt a person unless he doubted him, and he gave Toru Ito his unreserved trust and power.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably want to die for it.

However, Toru Ito is not an ordinary person. Based on the limited information he had, he quickly realized that the Root's operations on the front line might not be going smoothly.

It can even be described as a complete failure.

After all, Orochimaru is no pushover, and if Danzo wants to do things on his own, he will only end up in trouble.

These 12 people given to me...could they be the only remaining strength?

Toru Ito was muttering in his heart, but for now, it would be better to return to the camp first.

The journey was uneventful.

Toru Ito quickly arrived at the camp, and after proving his identity, he came to the outside of Orochimaru's tent.

At this point, Jiraiya had left to sulk, and Orochimaru and Tsunade were discussing their next strategy.

"Teacher Orochimaru, I'm back."

Ito Toru's voice came from outside, and the two looked at each other, both with happy expressions on their faces.

"Come in, Ito."

"You came just in time, we need you."

As soon as he entered the tent, Toru Ito was warmly welcomed. Before he even had the chance to report the progress of the mission, he learned from Orochimaru that the Third Hokage had signed an order for Konoha's Genin to come to the battlefield.

"We think we need to find a way to speed up the process, and it would be best if the war could end before then."

Tsunade added on.

"But our current combat power is not very strong, and Chiyo on the opposite side is also a cunning old fox."

"We have been on the defensive before, and the Roots have taken the initiative to attack many times, but we have not achieved much results, and instead suffered heavy losses on our side."

"So, do you have any good suggestions, Ito?"

"Uh... let me think about it."

Ito Toru scratched his head.

Why do you increase the intensity as soon as you come back? !

But now, it is indeed time to end this war.

What both sides are doing now is nothing more than adding more bargaining chips before the finalization.

This is also the reason why the Third Hokage agreed to send the Genin who had not yet fully grown up to the battlefield.

Because from his perspective, it is unlikely that a fierce battle will take place now.

Therefore, the Genin who have never experienced war can feel the atmosphere of war and undergo some training in advance.

But Danzo wanted these young ninjas to be baptized by fire directly...

But in the current situation, both Sand Village and Konoha want to decide the outcome with one strike.

So...where is the breakthrough point?

Orochimaru and Tsunade didn't say anything, waiting patiently for Ito Toru to think.

Last time, the plan proposed by Toru Ito to assassinate the Kazekage successfully shortened the duration of the war by at least two-thirds.

And this time, even Orochimaru was looking forward to it.

What new ideas will he come up with?

"There is."

A sudden idea flashed in Ito Toru's mind.

"I think……"

"We can start negotiations right away!"
