Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

In the Rain Country, because of the moist water vapor, the snow can be moistened and turned into cold rain. However, in other places, the snow has already been covered by heavy snow.

In the Kusagakure Village, far away from the war, the sky and the earth were covered in a layer of pure white.

However, the trade route planned by Toru Ito was still cleared in an orderly manner with the cooperation of the villagers and ninjas.

Some businessmen who came with the mentality of giving it a try were pleasantly surprised to find out, and the news spread like wildfire.

Therefore, even in such a cold winter, the business routes in Kusagakure Village are still bustling.

It continuously injects vitality into this small village.

At the same time, it also attracted the attention of a young ninja.

"What a surprise."

Jiraiya lifted his hat with his hand and looked at the lively scene in the distance.

"How could such a small village like Kusagakure develop into such a large scale..."

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"It seems that there is something complicated behind this village."

"It's decided! Let's go in and take a look!"

The serious and calm expression on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by the decadence and casualness of a wanderer, and he swaggered and followed a caravan that was passing slowly nearby.

"Hey! Boss, how about giving me a ride?"

"Okay."

"Eh? You're so happy, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"Haha! Young man, you just arrived in the Land of Grass, right? The route here can be said to be the safest among the nearby countries. Any threats have already been cleared by them. There is no need to be afraid!"

"so good?"

Jiraiya looked like a bumpkin who had just arrived in the city. He happily approached the caravan boss and said, "I just came out of the village to travel. Boss, can you tell me more about it?"

As he spoke, he took out a small purse and wanted to use the Golden Escape.

"Hey~~ You can't do that. You should pay me if you want to buy something from me. I'm afraid you're giving me money for no reason like this."

The caravan boss waved his hands repeatedly.

"Then I'll buy your products and consider it as making a friend."

Jiraiya said generously.

"Young man, don't be so funny, my products are all women's clothing."

"Women's clothing? Ah... that's no problem! I'll buy it as a gift!"

"Okay, okay, you're quite capable, I'll tell you whatever you want to ask."

"Hahahaha!"

Jiraiya used his unique intelligence talent to obtain a lot of information he wanted, as well as a set of women's clothing before parting with the caravan boss...

“So many things happened.”

After the caravan owner and his team went away, the silly expression on Jiraiya's face disappeared, and he fell into deep thought again.

"The war between Iwagakure and Konoha started, Hanzo died, the leader of Akatsuki took over, and the leader of the Grass Country also changed unknowingly..."

This series of information gathered together made Jiraiya vaguely aware that there might be an invisible hand behind the scenes controlling everything.

And this watertight style is very much like an old friend...

"Could it be Orochimaru?"

After coming to this conclusion, Jiraiya had a strange expression on his face, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and his originally nervous mood relaxed.

"If it's him, then it's fine."

"But... we still have to confirm it, just to be safe."

Jiraiya looked around and found a tavern that was still open.

"Hey! Isn't this a coincidence?"

On a snowy day like this, wouldn’t it be nice to have a few sips of warm wine to warm your body?

Jiraiya walked into the tavern and found it was almost full, but luckily there was an empty seat in the corner.

It seems that everyone has the same idea.

He ordered a pot of warm wine, sat alone in the corner, and drank while listening to the people around him chatting.

"Have you heard? Iwagakure and Konoha are fighting!"

"What?! Why are they fighting again?"

"According to unreliable information, it seems that Iwagakure initiated the attack!"

"Konoha is in a difficult situation now. We just fought with the Sand Village, and now the Rock Village is coming again."

"Yes, but it's even more difficult for us chambers of commerce. It's okay over in Iwagakure Village, because the mountains are high and the roads are difficult to travel, but there are many good things over in Konoha!"

"you do not say!"

"Ugh!"

Many businessmen sighed and lamented.

Jiraiya continued to gather information quietly in the corner.

Finally, he heard what he wanted to know.

"Speaking of which, when I came from the Konoha border today, I heard a lot of explosions and fighting noises. I was so scared that I whipped my horse a few times, and it ran away. Fortunately, I was not affected!"

"Then you are really lucky, so you should treat us to a round of drinks?"

"That won't do! You're trying to kill me!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Amid cheerful laughter, Jiraiya disappeared in the corner, leaving only some change on the table to pay for the drinks.

The border between the Fire Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.

On one side is a dense forest, and on the other side are endless rocky mountains.

At this moment it is all covered with snow.

The gloomy sky was still snowing continuously. The bloodstains on the ground, the scattered kunai, and the huge snow pit caused by the explosive talisman were also slowly being covered up.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The cold air inhaled into his lungs irritated Danzo and he started coughing continuously.

He coughed so hard that he seemed to be coughing up blood.

After a long time, Danzo, with a blue face, slowly sat up from the snow and looked around with a gloomy face.

"call--"

A long sigh, followed by gnashing of teeth.

"Damn you Iwagakure!"

Danzo felt that he was very unlucky.

He hurried over to provide support, hoping to gain some prestige, but ended up encountering the Rock Ninja's combat blasting troops.

As the name suggests, this unit is best at blasting.

Danzo led the elite Root troops, each of whom was extremely powerful, which was why he had the confidence to intervene in this war.

However, reality gave him a hard blow!

The Iwagakure's blasting troop initially disguised themselves as an ordinary but powerful jonin corps, but when they fought against Danzo's Root elite, they found it extremely difficult.

The Iwagakure captain who led the team was also a knowledgeable man. He immediately realized that they had hit a big fish!

It seems that the information we received earlier was not groundless!

He was indeed not wrong. Although Danzo's character was questionable, his own strength and the strength of the elite troops he led were second to none in Konoha.

So the demolition troops began to explode. Danzo realized that something was wrong and when he wanted to run away it was too late. He could only watch the elite troops he led being wiped out in the explosions one after another, and he himself was blown away by the explosions.

No one survived the Iwagakure blasting troop!

And Danzo also became a bachelor commander.

Both sides lost badly.

So who wins?

"Hehe... Lord Danzo, why are you so embarrassed? Is there any battle going on here?"

A hoarse voice was heard, and Danzo's face suddenly turned red. He turned around and glared at Orochimaru who was walking slowly, and the Konoha troops led by him.

"you!"

Looking at the other party's confused expression, Danzo wanted to use Wind Style: Vacuum Ball directly on Orochimaru!

But with so many people watching, he could only suppress his emotions, even though his fists were shaking.

"Why did you guys just come?!"
