Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Look! It's Shunshin Shisui! And his friend Hao Nawaki!"

"These two little guys have been doing a great job lately, especially Shisui!"

"I heard that when they were on a mission, even the Jonin of the Rock Ninja were defeated!"

"There is hope for Konoha!"

Voices of praise and approving looks came from all directions.

During this period, Nawaki and Shisui really shined!

Because he carried out missions continuously, successfully resolved several encounters, and saved many companions.

However, both of them had somewhat strange expressions.

Especially Sheng Shu, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

This is so different from what I imagined!

I am obviously the protagonist!

However, whether in praise or in various versions of the narrative, he has become Shisui's background board, a reliable partner, and everyone's good friend...

Just like the dog beside the protagonist of the adventure.

Reliable, kind, brave, everyone wants to have a companion like this, but it always feels weird!

"Rope Tree...are you okay?"

Feeling the resentful gaze of his best friend, Shisui asked with a bit of embarrassment.

He didn't expect it to turn out like this. His original intention was to lend a hand to his friend.

But because Shisui's speed was so memorable, coupled with his graceful movements and quick and efficient fighting, he became famous instead!

"I can't say it's bad, but I just feel a little complicated, ah!"

Nawaki was very sad: "My Wood Release is also very powerful, why don't they notice me?"

"I can probably guess what's going on..."

Shisui glanced somewhere.

There, members of the Uchiha clan were boasting to their Konoha companions.

"..."

"..."

Sheng Shu also saw it and had a strange expression on his face.

Because this member of the Uchiha clan, together with Uchiha Feng, looked down on Shisui before, but after Shisui became famous, the members of the Uchiha clan began to change their tune.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan's bloodline!"

"With those eyes, it's only natural to be able to do something like this."

Even Uchiha Feng had privately approached Shisui and said to him mysteriously:

"Work hard, and when your strength reaches a certain level, I will tell you a big secret!"

To be honest, Shisui wasn't very interested in the so-called big secret. He was quite satisfied with his current life.

Moreover, he also disliked the behavior of the Uchiha people.

However, Uchiha Feng didn't care so much. After he said these words, he left with a mysterious smile.

For a moment, Shisui wondered if he had accidentally scared him crazy that day.

"Ugh……"

Shisui also sighed slightly.

It’s better not to have such a strange reputation.

"Why are you sighing?"

Sheng Shu stood by with his eyes half closed, but he quickly put these strange feelings behind him.

"Forget it, let's go find Ito-san first."

"Ah."

The two walked into Ito Toru's tent together.

"Ah, you guys are back."

Toru Ito was looking through scrolls. There were no casualties in the past few days. Orochimaru secretly took over the Root and obtained many scrolls about forbidden techniques, ninjutsu and experimental materials.

He couldn't handle it all by himself, so he gave some to Toru Ito.

Usually, no one came to disturb Ito Toru, so he just checked inside the tent openly.

I have to say that although Danzo was quite hateful when he was alive, a lot of gold coins dropped after he died.

Not to mention the activity funds he obtained by begging from the Third Hokage, the information contained in this small scroll that fell into Ito Toru's hands is simply astonishing!

Especially since there is a vague mention of contact with a mysterious force.

Although Danzo didn't know what force that was, the fact that the person he had contacted was pure white and had green hair made Toru Ito immediately think of someone.

Bai Jue!

If this is the case, then the impact of death in a team battle may be greater than I imagined!

However, the person is dead, so there is no point in saying this.

Let's finish up things here for now.

"Well, Ito-san, will this cause trouble for Scorpion?"

There was a hint of worry between Sheng Shu's brows: "After all, he gave us the information over there, and then let us make a name for ourselves..."

"If the Iwagakure targets me..."

“That’s no problem.”

Ito Toru smiled and said that Nawaki was still too naive.

"The Rock Ninjas also need to explain to the inside. The louder your reputation is, the more they can demonstrate their role here."

"You all saw the ambush on the Third Raikage earlier. I guess they've heard about it, so they're afraid of encountering this kind of situation again."

"At this time, the two of you have become famous, and you can also make them give an explanation."

"So that's it!"

Sheng Shu scratched his head. He still couldn't quite understand it, but it didn't matter as long as he knew it wouldn't affect Scorpion.

"And...Shisui, have you investigated the reasons why Uchiha Feng and the others have been behaving abnormally recently?"

Toru Ito still cares a little about this.

"Sorry, Ito-san... I have no idea here."

"It's okay, don't be sorry."

Ito Toru lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"No matter what happened to them, there are always signs. I remember that they went out on a mission today..."

Whoosh～～～bang!

As he was speaking, the sound of a flare exploding suddenly came from outside.

"Um?!"

Ito Toru and the other two were all stunned.

"It's a distress signal!"

"So close?"

"Go out and see!"

The three of them came outside and saw the Konoha ninjas outside also running hurriedly.

"Are there any reserve troops?"

"No! Quickly inform Lord Orochimaru!"

"I am here."

Orochimaru's voice instantly stabilized the camp, which was originally in a state of panic.

He glanced in the direction where the signal came from, narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned his head and his gaze fell on Toru Ito who had not had time to return to the tent.

"That's great, Ito, why don't you take Shisui and Nawaki to take a look."

He was conscripted into the army!

The corners of Ito Toru's mouth twitched, but he still nodded.

"understood."

"Okay!"

Sheng Shu looked excited.

Finally encountered this kind of emergency!

Generally, this kind of emergency is unexpected, and is the situation where a hero is most likely to appear!

Sheng Shu felt that he was the hero.

"What are you still thinking about? Let's go."

"what!"

Toru Ito's violent slap temporarily woke Nawaki up from his heroic dream, and then he covered his head and set off with Shisui and Toru Ito.
