Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"what?"

Nawaki was greatly surprised to see Toru Ito so easily take care of this Anbu.

"Brother Ito, this, this..."

His thinking was a little confused.

I don't understand why Toru Ito wants to kill this ANBU.

Aren't we fellow villagers?

After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, although Nawaki's worldview did not collapse, he was still a little shocked.

In his expectation, the situation shouldn't have been so serious.

"I'm not going to explain it to you, Rope Tree."

Toru Ito put the scroll away. This person still had some value.

That is as research material.

Just after finishing the work in Konoha Village, I was going to check the experimental base established by Kabuto.

This is a meeting gift...

"However, I still want to remind you that this is an era that does not allow naivety to survive."

Ito Toru patted Nawaki's shoulder and said, "The village is not as peaceful as it seems."

"Um……"

Sheng Shu felt a little confused, but he nodded subconsciously.

He believed in Toru Ito.

It was just that it was his first time encountering such a cruel thing, and it was a little hard for him to accept.

"Well, I have other tasks to do, Rope Tree, what about you?"

"I, I have nothing to do now."

"Then do you want to come with me?"

Toru Ito thought about it and felt that if he really left it alone like this, with Naoki's personality, he would probably not be able to figure it out and would get stuck in a dead end.

After all, I still need to bring it with me.

"Okay!"

Shengshu suddenly became happy again.

The doubts and confusion just now were instantly thrown behind me.

"Where are we going next, Ito-nii?"

"Next...I have to go find Kabuto."

"pocket?"

Sheng Shu fell into thought: "After that guy came back, it was as if he disappeared. I never saw him again."

"Brother Ito, do you know where he is?"

"I think so. But you have to be mentally prepared. Dou is running an experimental base. I don't know what's inside now."

"Experimental base?!"

Sheng Shu was surprised. It sounded so high-end!

Who would have thought that the small, sinister-looking boy with glasses would be entrusted with such an important task?

……

10 minute later.

Dou's expression was a little stiff.

In his original impression, he should only need to receive Ito Toru, the reliable elder brother.

As a result, next to Ito Toru, there was a boy who looked a little dazed, looking at the appearance of the experimental base curiously.

Rope tree!

As Orochimaru's right-hand man, Kabuto is no stranger to Rope Tree.

Strictly speaking, he still has to call the other person senior.

but……

Dou was helpless against this silly senior.

Even if the one who came was Shisui-senpai!

Why would Ito-san bring such an idiot here...

Is this a test for me?

Dou was having all sorts of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface he remained calm.

"Well, welcome, Ito-san and Nawaki-senpai."

When calling "Senior Rope Tree", Dou's expression was a little gritted teeth.

However, Sheng Shu didn't care about these, but quickly withdrew his gaze with some excitement.

"Kabuto! Is this the experimental base you built?! That's so cool!"

This is a small mound located in the dense forest, and there are some illusion barriers set up around it.

If you didn’t know there was an experimental base here, you wouldn’t be able to tell it just from the outside!

Because Rope Tree can use Wood Release, he is particularly sensitive to the scent of the surrounding plants and trees.

Even he couldn't feel it.

It can be seen that the concealment of this experimental base is really good!

"Hehe... It's okay, Ito-nii, what do you think?"

Kabuto reacted calmly to Nawaki's compliment, but was looking forward to Ito Toru's evaluation.

After all, this is the person he truly imitates and follows!

"Yeah, not bad."

Ito Toru nodded slightly and gave his own evaluation.

"After all, this is the first time you've built an experimental base. It's great that you've built it to this point with your ability. I just don't know what it's like inside."

“I will work harder to improve.”

This evaluation can't be said to be good or bad, but Dou accepted it calmly and even felt a little happy.

Because when he was building this base, he actually built it with the mentality of abandoning it if it was not useful.

So he didn't put his best effort into building it, and it had many flaws, some of which even he himself was not satisfied with.

If Toru Ito gave the same praise as Nawaki, it would be perfunctory.

The current evaluation proved that he was observing seriously, which made Dou very happy.

"You two, please come in."

Kabuto invited sideways.

"I hope the appearance inside will satisfy you."

"Ah."

Under the leadership of Dou, the three of them walked into the experimental base together.

Contrary to what it looks like from the outside, the space inside is exceptionally spacious.

It is about 400 square meters in size and the decoration style is very simple. It is filled with some laboratory tables, some instruments, and cabinets for storing scrolls.

The lighting is also darker.

It’s still a bit far from the high-tech research institute I imagined…

"The brightness needs to be turned up a bit."

When Toru Ito came in, he frowned slightly and glanced around casually.

"Is there no ventilation? Why does the air feel so stuffy?"

"Ah, that's why it's not open. I'll open it now."

Dou hurried over, pressed a button and turned on the ventilation.

A slight breeze blew, and Ito Toru sighed slightly.

"No, this wind speed in the laboratory is likely to cause some extra changes. Dou, this needs to be changed. The ventilation cannot be blown directly at it. It can suck out, but it cannot blow air in..."

"Yes Yes."

Dou nodded repeatedly, then took out a small notebook to write down these points.

"This is my first time doing this, so please excuse the mistakes..."

"We are all family, no need to be so polite. Other than the lighting being a little dim and the place being a little small, there aren't any other problems."

"Oh, right."

Ito Toru took out the scroll he had prepared earlier: "This is the gift I prepared for you."

"what?"

Dou was a little surprised, and Shengshu had a rather strange expression.

I really want to use this as a meeting gift!

That is...

Before he could even think about it, Toru Ito had already unlocked the seal on the scroll.

The dead body of the Anbu, whose eyes were open in death, appeared on the floor.

"Eh?!"

Dou was stunned, and raised his head in confusion: "Is this the gift for meeting you?"

"of course."

Ito Toru said as a matter of course: "He is an Anbu. We can get a lot of things from his body, whether it is the ninjutsu to practice or the training methods."

"You are born to do this. How much information you can obtain depends on yourself."
