Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"I, that, um, this..."

Yahiko was embarrassed and at a loss, while Nagato lowered his head and pretended to be dazed.

We were just invited to help out, why are we asked to join the debate?

Toru Ito was also completely speechless.

What is this... a desperate attempt to find a cure?

The other ninjas on the Iwagakure side also looked as if they didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward and no one spoke for a long time.

Misty eyes gradually filled with tears, and he was about to cry.

"unreasonable!"

At this time, Xiaonan slammed the table and stood up!

All eyes turned to her.

Admiration, doubt, puzzlement, and bewilderment.

And Heitu's excited eyes.

She was about to cry, but she didn't expect that this sister would dare to stand up!

In comparison…

She glared fiercely at the Iwagakure ninjas on her side. No one could bear to look at Kurotsuchi's eyes and they all avoided her.

A bunch of trash!

My sister is still reliable!

"Right!"

Heitu sniffed, and relying on Xiaonan's support, he straightened his little chest.

"Even this sister said it's unreasonable!"

"So...what's wrong with that?"

Ito Toru took a few deep breaths, recognized the urge to laugh, and asked slowly.

"Yes, what's wrong with that?"

Heitu also turned to look at Xiaonan, his little eyes full of anticipation.

"..."

Xiaonan was speechless for a moment, then said seriously:

"First of all, these losses are all made up by you. We have not conducted any on-site inspections."

"I'm not doubting you, but if you want compensation, you should at least let us check the general situation of the scene."

"Instead of this, it's decided based on your one-sided statement!"

"You're right!"

Heitu nodded vigorously, his eyes full of admiration.

Xiaonan has made progress...

Although it seemed like he was speaking for the Iwagakure, he pushed the tone of the matter directly from peace talks to compensation.

In other words, the goal of the peace talks has been achieved, and Kurotsuchi has unknowingly tacitly agreed. This time the goal will be how much compensation the Iwagakure should pay to Konoha...

Looking at Kurotsuchi who was full of admiration for Konan, Toru Ito was quite speechless.

A little girl is a little girl, she is probably still secretly happy there.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

It can be seen that Ōnoki really dotes on his granddaughter and probably has never let her come into contact with any conspiracies or intrigues.

This time he was sent to contact Konoha, was it because he realized that he was not capable enough and began to consciously train a successor?

"Hmph! You have nothing to say!"

Ito Toru was lost in thought, but Kurotsuchi thought he was speechless, so he smiled and made faces: "Lulululu~"

"..."

"..."

Both Konoha and the Iwagakure were beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Cough cough..."

Orochimaru coughed twice.

"In that case, Ito, it will be up to you to discuss the compensation."

"You can make the decision within reason."

"I will record the situation here and report back to the Hokage."

Uncle Snake, you're running away now?!

I think you want to go back early to seize Danzo's inheritance!

Then leave the mess to me!

Although Toru Ito complained in his heart, he still nodded.

"Ok."

Orochimaru left.

The Iwagakure side was visibly relieved.

"As expected of one of the legendary three ninjas, such a powerful aura..."

"Alas, there is no point in fighting Konoha..."

"It's better to finish the task and go back as soon as possible."

They were whispering to each other, all wanting to finish the conversation quickly and leave quickly.

Yahiko and others had the same idea.

Logically speaking, they have completed Iwagakure's commission, but Ōnoki is now seriously injured and unconscious, so they can only hold their noses and cooperate with Iwagakure, and settle the reward after Ōnoki wakes up.

"Hey!"

Kurotsuchi pointed at Ito Toru and said, "You squinty-eyed one! Take us to see it now. I want to see how much Konoha has lost!"

"Don't try to blackmail me! Don't underestimate me because I'm young. I'm very smart!"

"Yes, yes, you are smart."

Ito Toru sighed: "Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Under the leadership of Toru Ito, Kurotsuchi, Yahiko and their party took a brief tour of some battlefield traces.

"Look at this bridge. It has been here for more than 100 years, but you blew it up."

"This……"

“And this big pit, it was originally our front-line camp.”

"what?"

"See that little hill over there? It used to be an ice lake with 3 kilograms of fish in it."

"Alas--"

As Ito Toru walked and introduced, Kurotsuchi went from being confident at first to feeling guilty later, and now sweat was oozing out of his forehead.

She did a quick calculation.

The losses we see now alone are 20% more than before!

"Why, how could this happen?"

Heitu felt his hands and feet go weak and the world was spinning.

"Sister Xiaonan, what should I do?"

"Wuwu... Grandpa would beat me to death if he knew!"

She could only look for help to Xiaonan, who supported her at the beginning.

“I can’t continue to verify it.”

Konan said solemnly, walking in front of Ito Toru and stopping her.

"That's it, no need to watch the next one!"

"Ah? Why don't you watch it again?"

Ito Toru said this with a smile, his eyes glancing at the black soil behind him.

"Woo..."

Heitu shrank behind Xiaonan, like a guilty kitten hiding away.

Looks kind of cute...

Ito Toru didn't plan to bully the little girl anymore, but he still had to pretend, so he deliberately said in a troubled tone:

"It was you who proposed it, eh?"

"us……"

Xiaonan also noticed Ito Toru's thoughts and tried to hold back her laughter: "Now that we have changed our minds, is it too late?"

She winked at Ito Toru, while making a please, please gesture with her hand imperceptibly.

"Okay then~"

Ito Toru shrugged helplessly: "If it was someone else, I would definitely not agree, but considering... huh?"

Before he finished speaking, his expression changed!

Boo hoo hoo-!

The sound of breaking air was heard, and several shurikens drew curves in the air and attacked everyone!

Someone actually launched a sneak attack?!

Ito Toru was quite surprised.

And the target of these shurikens is actually Kurotsuchi!

"careful!"

Following a loud shout, the first person to react was Nagato. He nervously took a step forward and stood in front of Kurotsuchi and Konan.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

After quickly forming a seal, a gust of wind rushed out of his mouth, bringing with it a powerful force that blew away all the attacking shurikens!

"Protect Miss Kurotsuchi!"

The Rock Ninjas finally reacted and rushed forward, protecting Kurotsuchi in the middle and staring at the surroundings nervously!
