Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Sarutobi Hiruzen left, but Orochimaru still couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

His teacher's deep instructions and expectations filled him with mixed emotions.

I finally understood what the so-called bond was.

The master-disciple bond between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru is by no means as simple as just being a master and disciple in name only.

In the original work, the tears shed by Orochimaru when the Konoha collapse plan began, and the determination he expressed by piercing his own palm, were not hypocritical.

This is also the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen showed mercy and let Orochimaru go after discovering what he had done.

He really couldn't do it!

Even at the moment of death, the image of Orochimaru as a child still appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, and he died with a smile on his face.

Because Orochimaru really regarded Sarutobi Hiruzen as his mentor who was as grateful as a mountain, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also really regarded Orochimaru as his beloved disciple.

But the ruthless wind of fate eventually blew the two to opposite sides.

I can only say...it’s all Danzo’s fault!

"Brother Ito, the porridge is getting cold."

Rope Tree reminded from the side.

"Ah? Okay, okay."

Ito Toru, whose thoughts had drifted away, finally came to his senses and began to drink the porridge slowly with a spoon.

It’s hard to do...

The situation within Konoha Village is too complicated.

But it's not just a problem with the Root and Danzo.

For example, the pride of the Uchiha clan, the caged bird of the Hyuga clan, and the Konoha high-level officials who have their own thoughts.

If it had not been for the baptism of war, these stubborn diseases would have remained within Konoha Village.

Even if he couldn't think of a good solution for a while...

and many more!

Ito Toru was suddenly stunned.

What do I want these for?

These are not things I need to consider!

I'm just a small Genin, completing missions every day to earn a living, and at most working part-time at the Konoha Hospital and the Root. But I'm still here worrying about the development of the village.

I'm really thinking too much!

When things are undecided, there is still golden flash!

As long as we protect Minato Namikaze and let him flash, everything will be solved!

Uchiha Obito is still a baby now.

More than enough time!

With a single thought, the world becomes wider. After putting these things down, Ito Toru's face immediately lit up.

?

Nawaki, who was standing next to him, blinked his eyes, somewhat unable to understand why Ito, who was so depressed just now, suddenly became so sunny and cheerful.

But that’s fine!

Sheng Shu also became happy.

Snoring after finishing the meal.

"Ito-san! Please spar with me!"

Rope Tree requested excitedly.

After fighting with Shisui yesterday, his understanding of Wood Release has reached a new level!

After going back and studying alone for half the night, he felt that he might be able to take on a few moves from Brother Ito, so he made a request.

"Ah? Okay."

Toru Ito was stunned for a moment, then readily agreed.

Ten minutes later.

Zizzi! Zizzi!

The fallen Rope Tree was twitching from the electric shock. There were broken branches all around him. He had studied the wooden shield formation for half a night, but there was no way to stop Ito Toru...

Can't even last a few minutes.

"almost."

Sensing that Nawaki's physical condition had been almost activated, Ito Toru stopped the electric shock.

"call--!"

The rope tree, which had been twitching continuously, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still can't beat Ito-nii..."

"Your goal is a little too high. Why not choose a ninja who is similar to you?"

The corner of Ito Toru's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hmm... My current strength, isn't it overwhelming among the ninjas of the same period?"

"…We'll talk about it when you can crush Shisui."

"Yeah, that's true!"

Sheng Shu's eyes lit up.

"Then let's go find Shisui! Ito-nii!"

"No need to look for him, he's already here."

Ito Toru looked aside.

Shisui had arrived beside him without him noticing.

"Brother Ito, Nawaki, what are you doing..."

Seeing that he was discovered, Shisui scratched his head embarrassedly and then slowly came over.

He was in a low mood today because of what the great elder said yesterday and the crazy tribesmen, which made the young but intelligent Shisui realize something.

So he was confused all of a sudden.

It just so happened that today, Yuina went out on a mission, and he didn't even have anyone to talk to, so he just walked aimlessly in the village.

I was walking and walking but I didn't know I came here, and then I heard a strange sound...

Out of curiosity, Shisui walked over to take a look.

I just happened to see Toru Ito using electric shock therapy on Nawaki...

Not only was he shocked, but he was also more curious.

"We are training to become stronger. Do you want to join us?"

"Ah I……"

Shisui hesitated to speak. Of course he wanted to be with his friends, but...

It always feels a bit weird!

The loser in a fight will be given an electric shock. When did this kind of training become available?

"Don't hesitate, come on!"

The electric shock boy Rope Tree, who had just been trained, was already fully charged and pulled Shisui over with full energy!

"Huh? Eh hey hey hey!"

Before Shisui could refuse, Nawaki had already made his stance.

"let's start!"

He roared and rushed over.

"I just came to take a look!"

Shisui looked helpless, but was forced to accept the challenge.

"hey-hey!"

The two of them tacitly agreed not to use ninjutsu, but instead simply competed in physical skills.

After all, it was understandable that they used ninjutsu as a form of sparring.

But now it's just simple training, it wouldn't be appropriate to use ninjutsu again.

This is also normal exchange.

Of course, Sheng Shu chose this method because his physique had been greatly enhanced by the stimulation of thunder and lightning, so he wanted to test his current strength.

however--

He soon realized something was wrong.

Facing his own attack, although Shisui couldn't be said to be calm and composed, he was able to take it on equally!

? !

This caused Rope Tree, who had originally wanted to release water, to slowly increase the pressure.

What surprised him was that Shisui was actually able to keep up!

This kid...

Although Nawaki is a hot-blooded and immature person, he is not a fool.

He had a vague guess about something.

If it were the usual Shisui, he would definitely be able to control the strength of his attacks, at least he wouldn't be like he is now, where his body actively follows Nawaki's attacks.

But I have to say that fighting like this when you are in a low mood can really help vent those bad emotions in your heart.

The speed of stopping water gradually increases.

"not bad."

Toru Ito watched from the side and nodded repeatedly.

He originally thought that Shisui would hold back this time as he did before.

I was even prepared to give Shisui a shock if he lost on purpose...

It seems that it is no longer useful now.
