Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"It's my pleasure to meet you!"

The middle-aged ninja quickly bowed 90 degrees, with a smile on his face like a blooming chrysanthemum: "My name is Tanaka, I wonder if I have the honor to serve the three adults?"

"Not to mention service, do you know where the largest town near you is?"

Ito Toru asked.

"I know! Please follow me!"

Tanaka led the way, nodding and bowing.

So the three of them followed him.

“This guy is quite interesting.”

Toru Ito looked at the figure in front of him with interest.

Because Tanaka was keeping a distance from the others, he was just unable to hear what they were talking about, but he could immediately hear the news when their voices got louder.

Where did this guy study?

Or is this a necessary quality for a fence-sitter?

“Can this guy be trusted?”

Yukina's eyes were full of vigilance: "He looks like a capricious villain, really annoying."

"I feel uncomfortable, too."

Hongdou frowned: "Or we can just kill him!"

"Hey, hey...don't say such terrible things."

Ito Toru quickly interrupted their conversation.

It's amazing that these two violent guys get together!

It's like two little devils in my mind, one says "Kill!" and the other says "Good kill!".

It’s really hard to get the 50 activity funds from Orochimaru!

Only a few days had passed, but Toru Ito began to feel a little tired.

It didn't take long before Tanaka and the three of them arrived at a small village.

This is a small village that looks a bit shabby from the outside. Many of the houses are built directly with earth, and only in the central part are there some modern buildings.

There were relatively few people on the street, and among them there were a few ninjas wearing Grass Ninja forehead protectors walking on the street, and they didn't look very strong.

What a weak ninja village.

Ito Toru thought that seeing these guys looking like weaklings, Yuina and Red Bean became even less interested.

"You adults have just arrived here, so I guess you want to stay in a hotel?"

Tanaka bent down, rubbing his hands and asked.

"Take us to the best inn."

Ito Toru rewarded him with 20 taels. Tanaka looked flattered and said, "Oh my, oh my, how can this be!" "I really don't deserve it, I really don't deserve it," but he took it very quickly and put it in his pocket immediately.

The Grass Ninjas passing by saw this scene and looked at them with envy.

"This kid Tanaka is really lucky today!"

"It's just a guide and you can get so much. The ninjas of Konoha are really generous!"

"Unlike ours..."

"Shh - stop talking, do you want to die?"

The light and fragmentary discussions only lasted for a short while before they stopped abruptly as if they were suppressed by an invisible giant hand, but those voices had already drifted into Ito Toru's keen ears.

It sounds like there is a big contradiction hidden here.

This thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and was immediately thrown out of his mind.

It’s not a big problem. I’m just staying here for a while anyway. Whether there are conflicts or not is none of my business!

Toru Ito is very open-minded.

"Please follow me~"

Tanaka spoke in a more respectful tone and brought the three of them to the only inn in the village that looked a little cleaner and tidier.

"This is our hotel. Next to it is a commercial street. If you want to try the local specialties, you can go there. Over there is our..."

He gave a detailed introduction to the surrounding layout, which made Ito Toru feel that the 20 taels were well worth it.

Apart from anything else, Tanaka's service spirit is very satisfying!

When I walked into the hotel, there was no one at the counter.

"Where are the people? Where did they go?"

Tanaka, who had been very respectful in front of Toru Ito, suddenly became arrogant and slammed the counter hard.

clap clap!

"Where's the boss? Can you be a little more considerate? The masters of Konoha are here! Are you hiding and pretending to be dead?!"

Seeing his servile behavior, disgust in Yuina and Red Bean's eyes became even stronger. However, Ito Toru didn't think it was a big deal and even nodded slightly, thinking that Tanaka was very sensible.

"I'm coming……"

Following the voice of response, a middle-aged woman hurried out from upstairs.

"I'm so sorry, I was just cleaning the room. Good day, Mr. Tanaka, and the other ninjas of Konoha."

"Why is it you? Where's the boss?"

Tanaka frowned, looking very dissatisfied: "These adults are important guests, why doesn't he come out to receive them?"

"Well, I'm really sorry."

The middle-aged woman bowed deeply and said, "My husband got into a fight with a group of people before, and his arm was broken. He was in pain for several days after returning, and we couldn't take him to the hospital."

"Is that so? Sir, please take a look..."

Tanaka turned around and put on a flattering expression again.

"It's okay, just stay here."

On the way here, Toru Ito also took note of the surrounding architectural styles.

It is very dilapidated and far worse than the conditions in the Iron Kingdom.

Toru Ito didn't even expect that there was a hospital here.

And there is a hospital that can provide treatment to civilians. Could it be that the medical ninjutsu of this village is unexpectedly advanced?

He didn't think much about it, but paid for two days readily.

"Thank you for your patronage."

The middle-aged woman thanked him profusely and offered to provide free food.

However, Toru Ito and the other two politely declined.

As a ninja, when you are outside, you must never eat food provided by others unless it is absolutely safe.

This is the doctrine that many predecessors have gained at the cost of their lives.

After everything was explained, Tanaka took the 10 taels of reward from Ito Toru and left with many thanks.

Toru Ito and the two women also came into the room and began to carefully check the living conditions.

What surprised him a little was that this was actually a suite.

There is a living room and three small rooms, and even a small bathroom and toilet.

It can be said to be very luxurious.

"The conditions here are not bad. It seems that they have found another way to survive among the great powers."

Toru Ito tried the mattress and found it to be very springy and soft.

"Well, you guys take a rest first, I'll be on guard from now on."

Without Orochimaru, the three of them would have to take turns guarding during their rest time. At least one person had to be awake and on guard, and all three could not fall asleep.

This is also one of the most basic requirements in the Ninja Manual. As long as you are outside, you must remain vigilant.

"also."

Yuina stretched a little. She felt a little sleepy. When she was about to walk into the room, she suddenly looked up at the room number and then walked in.

She had slept in the wrong room last time, which left her with a little psychological trauma...

"Hehe~ Then I'll leave it to you. I need to go take a shower first~"

Hongdou went to the bathroom humming a song. Soon, the sound of water splashing and a song of unknown tune were heard.

With nothing else to do, Toru Ito sat cross-legged in the living room alone, slowly refining his chakra.

If possible, he would choose to stay in this hotel and wait until the end of the Second Ninja World War.

Anyway, with the activity funds provided by Orochimaru, we can easily achieve this.

It seems that we can spend some peaceful days...

Ito Toru thought about it and felt a little happy.

This is the right way!
