Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The Second Ninja World War?!

When these words were spoken, not only Red Bean and Yuina, but even Orochimaru was shocked for a moment.

Ninja World War, these four short words are a nightmare for all ninjas!

This was a war where even the Chunins could only serve as cannon fodder, and the casualty rate among the Jonins was ridiculously high.

Not to mention the Genin, it is normal for hundreds of them to die in a day!

The atmosphere fell into a solemn silence for a moment, and all three of them fell into deep thought.

Ito Tetsuya sighed deeply and waited for everyone to recover from their shock.

Five days have passed since the last mission was completed.

After the break, Orochimaru brought another A-level mission for his beloved disciples.

To be more precise, Orochimaru took on this A-level mission himself, and then, in the name of training students, he dragged Ito Toru and the other two to complete it together.

When he saw the mission level, Toru Ito was completely numb.

He even couldn't help but wonder if Orochimaru disliked the three of them and was trying to use the mission to wipe out his team?

However, what made him almost vomit blood was that the two idiots, Yuina and Hongdou, jumped up with joy when they saw that it was an A-level mission, as if they had won the lottery.

It will be difficult for you to survive to the end like this!

Toru Ito really wanted to punch these two stupid women one by one, but considering the consequences, he decided to let them go.

In order to increase the survival rate this time, Toru Ito had to use all the money he earned last time, as well as his previous savings, to buy ninja tools and some medical kits.

Anyway, the reward for this mission is 80 taels, which is almost the maximum, so it can be converted into a lot.

The highest reward for an A-level mission is 100 million taels...

You can imagine how difficult this time is.

After all, the goal of this mission is to investigate the recently popular [demigod] Salamander Hanzo from the Rain Country!

If the mission cannot be completed, there is no point in keeping the money.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Orochimaru will definitely not stand idly by this time.

Although the current Orochimaru has not yet reached the level of the mad scientist he will become later, his strength is still not weak... right?

As Toru Ito finished his recollections, the three of them also recovered from their silence.

"Hey, are you kidding me?"

The first one to express doubts was still Yuina.

"He's just a guy who releases poison gas. How could he possibly start the Second Ninja World War?"

“Isn’t that too alarmist?”

She said with her hands on her hips.

“This is not alarmist.”

Ito Toru spread his hands: "I believe that the village should have also obtained some intelligence, otherwise they would not define the level of this mission as A, right?"

"Uh……"

Yuina was speechless.

"But how can he start a war?"

This time it was Anko who expressed confusion: "The Land of Rain is not a particularly powerful country, and the strength of those Rain Ninjas is also average. Does Hanzo want to fight against several big countries on his own?"

"Is he crazy?"

“It’s difficult to fight them all at once, but it’s doable if we fight them one by one.”

Ito Toru calmly analyzed: "Like this war with the Iron Country, he must have gained enough benefits before retreating."

"Although I don't know what kind of deal they made in secret, given this guy's personality, he must have made a lot of money, and he can use this as a deterrent to other small countries. When the country at war with other countries, other small countries will not dare to get involved in the war."

"But if that's the case, wouldn't it be better for him to just conquer the Iron Kingdom?"

Hongdou couldn't understand: "This way we can directly take over the resources of this country."

"too naive."

Ito Toru shook his head. "If we directly occupy this country, we will have to send people to manage it, suppress resistance, and guard against invasions from other countries. It's not as fast as extortion."

"He can just extort the nobles of the Iron Kingdom, and then they will naturally find ways to make profits from the common people. This way, he can gain both fame and benefits."

"Don't you realize that the prices here are higher than in Konoha?"

"..."

Hongdou was speechless.

The light in Orochimaru's eyes became brighter, and his interest in Ito Toru grew stronger.

"Ito-kun."

He slowly said, "So in your opinion, what will Salamander Hanzo do next?"

"Ah this..."

Ito Toru suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much. This was not good. He had to be more low-key, so he quickly lowered his voice and said modestly: "How can I know so much? It's all my guesses. It must be Mr. Orochimaru who has foresight."

"Haha... don't worry. Then guess what Hanzo will do next."

It seems that I can't get by without saying something.

Ito Toru was not stupid enough to play dumb in front of Orochimaru, so he said after a pause: "The surviving samurai Mifune once said that Salamander Hanzo had the ambition to become a demigod."

"So, I will say next that he will choose to declare war on a big country! So that the Rain Country can gain a firm foothold."

"This is what is called the battle to establish a nation!"

"And the Rain Country is located in the middle of the three countries. I think he will choose the weakest Wind Country to establish his authority!"

Has the analysis reached this point?

Orochimaru looked quite surprised and paid more attention to Ito Toru.

This boy might have the potential to become a Hokage...

However, he will eventually have to come behind him, well... before that, he can serve as his Hokage's assistant and offer advice.

Those old men are so decadent and corrupt that it makes people upset just by looking at them.

"Hum..."

Orochimaru felt better and better as he thought about it, as if he had already seen the scene of himself becoming Hokage.

This is also the reason why he has been frantically accepting high-level tasks recently, in order to improve his qualifications, make contributions to the village, and demonstrate his strength at the same time.

Tsunade doesn't want to be Hokage, and Jiraiya doesn't look like a Hokage at all.

Who else but Orochimaru can be the fourth generation Hokage?

However, since the war is about to come, there is no need to rush to complete the task.

When the war breaks out, there will be plenty of opportunities to gain merit!

With this thought in mind, Orochimaru gave the order.

"Then let's wait here for news to see if your judgment is correct."

"Yes!"

The three of them nodded in agreement.

Great!

Ito Toru was secretly delighted.

If we talk about the safest place before the war breaks out, it is undoubtedly the Iron Kingdom!

"Yukina, Anko, you two go out first, Ito stay."

"Okay, Orochimaru-sensei."

Although the two women were confused, they didn't say anything and just went out.

But the ecstasy in Ito Toru's heart came to an abrupt end.
