Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Ok?"

As he passed by the two men, Nagato glanced at them with a cautious look.

There is a familiar smell...

But I can't confirm it yet.

this person……

"what happened?"

Scorpion saw that Nagato's reaction was a little strange, so he asked.

"What's wrong with that guy?"

"nothing."

“It just feels a bit like an old friend.”

?

Scorpion narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go then."

When the group of people's backs disappeared into the distance, the two figures wearing bamboo hats stopped.

“I’ve grown up…”

Jiraiya slightly lifted the edge of his hat and looked at the receding figures.

His hiding skills were among the best, but Nagato could still detect some clues.

It's already very powerful.

"pity……"

Jiraiya sighed slightly.

If it were normal times, I would really like to have a good chat with them and have a drink together...

Well... they should be old enough to drink, right?

Jiraiya pondered in his mind.

However, he couldn't recognize her now, which made him feel sad.

Nagato, will you be the child of prophecy?

"Jiraiya-sama?"

Seeing him stop, Nono asked with some confusion.

"Nothing, let's go."

"Hmm! Hiccup~"

The gas in his stomach rose up and Jiraiya couldn't help but burp.

"I'm too full..."

He rubbed his belly contentedly.

And on the other side.

"Was the person who just passed by someone you know?"

Scorpion asked casually: "Why didn't you say hello?"

"It's not necessary, and it doesn't have to be the person I know."

"That's it..."

"What are you talking about here? Art?"

Deidara came closer.

"If you have anything to say, there's no need to talk here. It's a waste of time. We have to hurry to where I said!"

"Those Iwagakure guys may catch up with us at any time!"

"Hmm? Didn't you say that the Tsuchikage agreed?"

"Ah... I did agree, but you all know the old man's character. It won't be long before he turns against me and sends people to take me back. Then I won't be able to stay with you guys!"

"Are you willing to lose an artistic genius like me?"

"..."

"..."

These words immediately silenced everyone.

"Okay, let's get going."

It didn't take long before they arrived at the dilapidated temple that Deidara mentioned.

This has always been his secret base, but now...

"Hmm? Why is there a smell of meat porridge?"

Deidara shrugged his nose and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Is there anyone else here?"

"This smell... is a little familiar."

Yahiko and Konan also smelled it, and both fell into deep thought.

"Isn't this the aroma of the meat porridge we ate in the Rain Country?"

Yahiko thought for a moment and quickly realized, "It's Ito! He's been here!"

"Hey, this is my secret base!"

Deidara was a little dissatisfied: "How did your brother Ito turn it into a picnic camp?"

"You actually cooked here without permission. What if a fire burns down my temple? It's very dangerous!"

“I don’t even dare to show my art here!”

"Say less."

Sasori held Deidara's head to stop him from continuing.

"Go and have a look first."

"Okay! Let me make it clear first, if they really cause damage here, I will never forgive them!"

squeak-

After pushing open the door, Yahiko and the others were all stunned when they saw the scene inside.

Toru Ito and others were drinking porridge leisurely. When they saw Yahiko and others coming, they were not surprised at all. Instead, they greeted them leisurely.

"You are finally here, come and drink, there will be a portion for you too."

"Hey Hey hey!"

Deidara walked over with a stern look on his face, and was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Scorpion like a kitten.

"Don't cause trouble."

"Huh? You actually said I was making trouble!"

Deidara's eyes widened as he pointed at Ito Toru who was distributing porridge: "This is obviously my place!"

......

ten minutes later.

"This is so delicious!"

Deidara ate his meal vigorously. He had never tasted such delicious meat porridge before. He was unhappy at first, but after just one bite, he was completely captivated.

"Bah, bah, bah."

"one more bowl!"

He quickly finished a bowl of meat porridge. Deidara raised the empty bowl and shouted loudly.

"..."

The scorpion who was sipping porridge nearby was a little speechless.

Although this meat porridge is indeed delicious, isn't your behavior too inconsistent?

Obviously at the beginning they were shouting for war and killing...

What about the artist’s stubbornness?

"Haha, there are more, there are many more."

Toru Ito took it with a smile, and then served Deidara another large bowl.

“It’s really delicious, isn’t it?”

Yahiko and Konan drank the porridge happily: "I haven't eaten it for a long time, and it tastes the same as before!"

"As expected of Ito-nii!"

Tsunade held a bowl of porridge, sipping it while watching silently.

Is the relationship between them really so good?

She was very happy about this.

But there is some sadness in my heart.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru both seem to have some pretty good disciples.

Looking at myself, I don’t have a true disciple that I can really show off.

but……

It doesn't seem like now is the time to recruit disciples.

She has been out for a while, but still hasn't found a way to treat Kato Dan.

On the contrary, I lost a lot of money in gambling...

Now I am short of money.

Do you want to go back like this?

Tsunade was deep in thought.

"Tsunade-sama, what are you thinking about?"

Karin came over and asked.

She didn't particularly get along with Yahiko and the others.

"Nothing, um, wait."

Tsunade's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Karin.

This girl...

She looked her up and down, causing Karin to shrink her head in confusion.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Tsunade-sama?"

"Karin, do you have a teacher?"

"Um...No."

After thinking about it, Karin shook her head: "I am a subordinate of Orochimaru-sama, so I should not be considered a student."

"Then, do you want to take me as your master?"

"I?"

Karin was a little surprised.

She also knew Tsunade's identity.

One of the legendary three ninjas!

Such a big shot actually said he wanted to take me as his disciple?

It was like a pie falling from the sky, hitting Karin so hard that she was dizzy.

"Why, don't you want to?"

Tsunade had a smile in her eyes.

"willing!"

Karin answered quickly, at the same time glancing at Ito Toru without leaving a trace.

If you can grow up.

Can I become Ito's assistant?

Her mind was full of thoughts.

As if he had seen it for a long time, he stood on the left of Ito Toru, looking majestic.

"hey-hey……"

Karin's mouth stretched into a silly grin.

?

Toru Ito looked over here and saw this scene, and a question mark slowly appeared in his head.
