Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Chapter 331 Exchange

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Ito Toru was not in a hurry.

"We would rather avoid these things than not, but to Orochimaru, they are extremely valuable treasures."

"So, if we can give these to him..."

"What did you say?!"

Utatane Koharu's voice was almost distorted: "You still want to give these things to Orochimaru, what is your intention!"

"This is your purpose! You——"

Ito Toru interrupted her spell.

"Master Tenne! My goal is to prevent Konoha from suffering unnecessary losses because of some stupid suggestions!"

"You said I was stupid?! That's so unreasonable——"

"You are the unreasonable one!"

Ito Toru stared at Utane Koharu and said, "You are indiscriminate and do things without considering the consequences. You are just acting rashly and making trouble here!"

"The Hokage hasn't said a word yet, but you're talking non-stop here! You're always giving bad advice! You also had a part in the reason Orochimaru-sensei was sent to the interrogation room!"

"Okay, okay! You can't hide it anymore, kid?"

Utane Koharu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Ito Toru and said, "I saw it a long time ago! You are Orochimaru's undercover agent in Konoha, right?"

"Master Tenne, you keep talking about Orochimaru-sensei, but..."

Ito Toru's words suddenly became sharp: "In the battle against the Sand Ninja, it was Orochimaru who led us to victory. When fighting against the Rock Ninja, it was also Orochimaru who turned the disadvantage around."

"I don't see how you've helped."

"What do you want to say?!"

Utane Koharu's face flushed: "You——"

"That's enough! Haru!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke angrily, suppressing Utatane Koharu's counterattack.

And Ito Toru just bowed slightly and let out a long breath:

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I lost my composure."

"Hiruzen, our Hokage advisory group..."

Just as Mito Kado En was about to speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Ito is right, now is not the time to argue about this."

"He's also the one who fought in so many battles with Orochimaru."

"In any case, Orochimaru has done a lot for Konoha."

"Just do as he says."

? !

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were both stunned, and then tried their best to stop it.

"No! Hiruzen, are you getting senile?"

"What are we then?"

And Ito Toru's mouth curled up slightly, and from a perspective that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't see, he looked at the two with a mocking smile:

"Could you two be a little quieter?"

"Or……"

"You guys want to question the Hokage's decision?!"

This kid!

If it was just a suspicion at the beginning, now Utane Koharu and Mitokado En have been confirmed!

This is a guy who is even worse than Danzo!

He actually pretends to be harmless and easy to bully!

"Okay, stop arguing."

"Let's get out of here, and I'll leave the rest to you, Ito."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have aged ten years.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I will make sure that things are done properly."

Ito Toru returned to his serious look again.

"I believe you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted his shoulder gently, then left with the unwilling Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

……

A few days later, in Kusagakure Village.

The current Kusagakure Village is no longer as poor as it used to be.

It has become a small town built on the hills.

Many business travelers and ninjas would choose to rest here.

"Why is it so lively today?"

A businessman passing by noticed a lot of unfamiliar faces outside the teahouse while taking a break.

He often traveled along this trade route, so he was familiar with some of the faces of people in Kusagakure Village.

However, there were a lot of strange people today, and it was obvious from their clothes that they were not locals. This made him curious but not worried, so he asked the teahouse owner.

"Haha, you don't know yet? The neighboring country of Tian has established a new ninja village. I think it's called Sound Village. Now they're sending people over to make friends with us."

"Another new ninja village. Who is the leader of a new ninja village that can be established these days?"

"I don't know. The leader behind this is very mysterious and has never appeared in public. Besides, no one dares to investigate."

"Why doesn't anyone know? If he wants to build a ninja village, shouldn't he come forward to train ninjas?"

"You don't know this, right? The leader behind the scenes has four powerful ninjas under his command. They not only master powerful ninjutsu, but are also said to be able to transform!"

"Transformation?! Is this true?!"

"I just heard about it, I can't be sure whether it's true or not, but everyone else says so, haha! Sir, enjoy your meal."

Seeing another customer coming, the teahouse owner hurried to greet him.

"Please come in, all four of you. Would you like something to drink?"

As he greeted them, he sized up the four people, a discerning eye that one must have to run a teahouse.

The leader was a strange-looking, sickly-looking boy. There seemed to be a large tumor on the back of his head, which was also covered with hair. Could he be a two-headed man?

His companions were stranger than each other: a dark-skinned country boy with his hair tied up, a fat man who looked like a wild boar, and a red-haired girl wearing a hooded cap.

A weird quartet, but they look like they're not easy to mess with!

"Four pots of tea, please."

The leader, Zuo Jin, found an inconspicuous spot and sat down with the other three.

"okay!"

The teahouse owner hurried to prepare and brought up the teapot in a short while.

"Give."

Duoyou also paid the bill directly.

"Thank you very much! Sir, if you need anything else, feel free to contact me!"

The teahouse owner thanked him repeatedly and then left.

“Gurgle~Gurgle~”

Jirobo picked up the teapot and drank from the spout.

He drank half the pot in one breath before putting it down.
