Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Ok?"

Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade all showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

"What is Konoha's Darkness?"

Jiraiya was the first to ask. He thought he knew Konoha very well, but this was the first time he heard this statement.

"Does something like this still exist in our Konoha?"

Tsunade frowned. She didn't understand what the so-called Darkness of Konoha was.

Orochimaru remained silent, his eyes flashing with complex light. If there is any powerful power or secret in Konoha, it is undoubtedly the Jinchūriki.

Is it...

No, it shouldn't be!

He recalled the pitiful and helpless look of the red-haired girl and wiped away the doubt that arose in his heart.

Even he himself couldn't bear it, so Ito Toru was definitely not that kind of person.

So, they all looked at Ito Toru, waiting for the answer. "This has to be kept secret for now, and I need some helpers for this operation..."

Ito Toru was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"I will go with you!"

Hearing this, Jiraiya suddenly perked up.

"Uh, Master Jiraiya, I have to lead the team this time..."

"It's fine for me to be your team member! I don't mind. I mainly want to see what the Darkness of Konoha is."

Jiraiya was like a curious cat and had to see it for himself.

"It's nothing, actually. Besides, it's definitely not convenient for the Dark of Konoha to be exposed to the light. If it were exposed to the light, it would be called the Light of Konoha."

Ito Toru scratched his nose.

With that said, Jiraiya became even more curious!

His heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten and he couldn't wait to know the answer to the question.

"Let me guess... Could it be a person?"

"Yes, it is indeed a person."

"Wouldn't it be the Third Hokage?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ito Toru coughed violently: "I don't have the ability to get the Hokage to participate in this operation..."

"But there is an opportunity in front of you right now. You can let the future Hokage's close comrade, the Toad Sage Hero Jiraiya, participate in this operation."

Jiraiya blinked, "How's that?"

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head.

"what!"

Jiraiya screamed and covered his head. A small bump was slowly swelling up.

Tsunade, who threw the punch, had veins throbbing on her forehead: "Don't make things difficult for Ito, you bastard!"

"I just want to go along and take a look! Ouch!"

Jiraiya covered his head and groaned. Tsunade's punch was so powerful that it made his head buzz.

It was only Jiraiya. If it were anyone else, he would probably have been hit on the head by this super-powerful iron fist.

"Just do whatever you want, Ito."

Orochimaru spoke up.

"I believe you."

This is also his consistent style, giving absolute trust to his subordinates.

Unlike Danzo, even the most trusted subordinates would be marked with the mark of "eradicating the evil tongue".

"If you need anything, just tell me."

"As long as I can provide it, I can provide it to you."

"Okay, Orochimaru-sensei."

Ito Toru showed a confident smile: "Don't worry!"

After arranging everything, Toru Ito walked out of the tent and prepared to return to his own tent to rest for a while.

However, he stopped after taking only a few steps.

"Ok?"

Toru Ito looked at the place not far away with some confusion. There was an almost transparent little lizard running towards him happily.

"Nagato's summoning beast?"

The way to recognize it is very simple, that is, the little lizard has eyes that are like ripples.

In almost a flash, the little lizard ran in front of him and stuck to him very intimately.

"How cute, little one."

Ito Toru let it stand on his arm, and then the little lizard spit out an information scroll.

"So there is new news coming."

I can only say that it is worthy of being a summoned beast summoned by the Rinnegan. The efficiency and security of transmitting information are much stronger than those of ordinary summoned beasts.

The Konoha camp's defense system was designed by Toru Ito himself, but this little lizard was able to come in so brazenly with his camouflage ability.

No ninja noticed it.

After opening the scroll and reading the information, Toru Ito's expression became quite strange.

"The Tsuchikage Ohnoki actually asked Akatsuki to defend Konoha?"

This world is so wonderful...

It's like a mouse seeking an alliance with a cat to fight a dog together...

However, this would make it easier to execute the plan.

After thinking for a while, Toru Ito wrote a reply and then returned to the tent to explain the situation further to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Orochimaru and the other two had strange expressions on their faces when they heard the news, and couldn't help laughing.

And an hour later.

Konoha rear camp.

"..."

Danzo had woken up from his sleep and used wind jutsu to completely change the air in the tent, and only then did he feel much better.

"This guy Jiraiya..."

He sighed.

"Forget it, he is a talent after all."

All of the Root's elite troops have been lost, and he is now in dire need of useful men.

Even though Jiraiya didn't strictly meet his employment criteria, he couldn't be picky now.

"He can be used to check and balance Orochimaru. And Tsunade, the princess of the Senju clan, maybe he can also..."

His mind was spinning rapidly.

"And Orochimaru was once my subordinate. In that case——who is he?!"

At this moment, Danzo sensed someone coming outside, so he shouted.

"It's me, Danzo-sama."

Ito Toru's voice came from outside.

"How did you come?"

Danzo did not let him in, but continued to talk with Ito Toru across the tent.

"Can I come in?"

"It's not convenient right now, so just say whatever you want to say."

"Well, I received some information. Lord Orochimaru ordered that it should not be disclosed to others. However, I think that if it was Lord Danzo..."

"Come in and tell me."

Danzo immediately changed his attitude and greeted him enthusiastically: "I was just joking with you just now, you can tell me the information later."

He quickly formed a seal and cast a silencing spell at the same time: "This will prevent others from hearing our conversation, and it is also for your safety."

You are such a hypocrite.

Toru Ito was speechless, but for the sake of his next plan, he still showed tears of gratitude.

"As expected of you, Lord Danzo! You are so thoughtful!"

"The thing is like this..."

He slowly told the information.

Danzo, who originally had only a slight expectation, dilated his pupils slightly after hearing the content of the information.

"You mean, the Kumo Ninja and the Iwa Ninja are going to have an alliance negotiation? But in fact, the Iwa Ninja is planning to ambush and kill the Kumo Ninja?!"
