Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The snack bar recommended by Mei Terumi is a snack bar next to the seafood market.

Full of the breath of the sea.

"call--"

Under the slightly strange gazes of Toru Ito and Yuina, Mei Terumi took a deep breath and revealed an intoxicated look.

"That's what it tastes like."

Ito Toru's gaze became even stranger.

"This is the most original smell of food. Follow me."

Mei Terumi led the two of them into the store.

"Boss, give me one of each snack and I'll deliver it to the second floor!"

She looked like a regular customer.

"Mei Terumi, please go up."

The boss with a white headscarf put it down when he saw that it was Mei Terumi, and was about to chase the customer away.

At the same time, he also saw Toru Ito and Yuina behind Mei Terumi.

"Konoha ninja?"

"Well, they are the guests I brought here. They will serve as our ninjutsu teachers for a period of time."

"That's it."

The boss nodded: "Got it, you guys go to the second floor."

After saying that, he started sharpening his knife, and then used a net bag to catch fish from the water tank next to him.

"Okay." Mei Terumi was in a good mood and took the two of them upstairs.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many people here. The boss's cooking skills are really good, but he often refuses to serve customers because he thinks he can't handle too many people."

"And the boss couldn't refuse ninjas like us, so he specifically let us go to the second floor."

"Of course, it's also for the safety of civilians. There have been cases in the past where civilians were just chatting and a ninja eating nearby got upset and killed the civilians."

"what?"

Toru Ito and Yuina looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

At the same time, I gained some new understanding of the Hidden Mist Village.

"It seems that the requirements for strength here are more strict than in our village."

"Indeed it is."

During the conversation.

The three of them have arrived on the second floor.

The second floor is an open platform where you can see the fog in the distance and the beach not far away.

The hustle and bustle of the seafood market below can also be seen.

"Please sit anywhere. You're welcome."

Mei Terumi found a seat and sat down first.

The chairs here are all rattan chairs, and sitting on them will give you a wonderful massage feeling.

Yuina was a little uncomfortable, but Ito Toru soon leaned against her comfortably.

“But I don’t quite understand.”

Mei Terumi looked at Toru Ito and said, "Our village values ​​strength so much and has established a strict hierarchy based on it, but why does it seem that our strength is not as good as yours?"

Why else? You raise ninjas like you raise Gu, can you raise good ones like this?

Ito Toru complained in his heart.

The Hidden Mist Village's approach is a typical example of raising poisonous insects. Putting a group of people together to fight, the final winner must be the strong one.

however……

People are not tools.

Apart from anything else, the winners who have been trained in this way since childhood are more or less extreme and have mental illnesses.

If someone is less lucky, and loses a hand, a foot, or a finger or something at the same time as winning, does that prove that he is a strong person?

In contrast, many people who could have developed or achieved success late in life died at the starting line, leaving only quick-learned geniuses. Can they still be considered geniuses?

That is to say, the Hidden Mist Village is close to the sea, and here water-based ninjutsu can exert its strongest power, so no other ninja village can invade.

But no matter what he thought, Toru Ito would not say it out loud.

It's not like he really came to help the Hidden Mist Village return to its peak.

But now that Mei Terumi is right next to me, I still have to give an explanation.

"Well..."

Ito Toru looked thoughtful.

"I do have some ideas."

"What do you think?"

"Mei Terumi, think about it, who are the strongest and most powerful people in the Hidden Mist Village?"

"Mizukage?"

"What about under the water shadow?"

"Kirigakure ANBU?"

"..."

Ito Toru was a little speechless, so he just gave the answer directly: "It's the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"

"what?"

Mei Terumi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were defeated by a Genin from Konoha, and you took advantage of their planning. Now you tell me that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are very strong...

Although I don't expect to get any useful advice from you, you wouldn't try to fool me like this, right?

"Look, you've fallen into a misconception, haven't you?"

Ito Toru looked at her slightly tangled expression and smiled gently: "Think about it, you used 700 people and finally selected these 7 people, but I took them away easily, didn't I?"

"And your original 693 people were taken away by seven of your own people."

“By comparison, isn’t it a bad deal?”

"If you can directly organize these 700 people into teams and form the 700 Ninja Swordsmen!"

"Wouldn't that mean the combat power would increase 100 times?"

???

This time, not only Mei Terumi, but also Yuina who was standing beside her was stunned.

Looking at Ito Toru with an incredible look.

Are you serious?

Mei Terumi subconsciously wanted to question, but when she thought about the person sitting opposite her was Toru Ito, who had never made any mistakes in his strategic vision, she hesitated.

"Of course, this is just a preliminary concept."

Toru Ito continued to sit back.

At this time, the boss also came up with a plate of snacks.

"Please enjoy your meal."

"Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings."

The plate contained fried golden and peppery small fish, three bowls of milky white fish soup, sliced ​​fish, a delicate sauce, and a plate of various fried vegetables.

It looks pretty good.

"Eat first."

Mei Terumi said softly, while picking up the fish soup and taking a small sip.

“It still tastes the same as before!”

"It's really good."

Ito Toru also took a bite.

The ingredients are fresh and the boss’s cooking skills are also good. The fish soup is extremely delicious, but a little hot.

He put the fish fillets in the soup for a while and put them in his mouth after they were cooked.

Seeing this scene, Mei Terumi was speechless.

That's sashimi...

You shouldn't eat it like this!

Of course, Toru Ito also knew that this was how to eat sashimi.

But even ninjas are afraid of parasites!

Although it is said that marine fish do not have parasites, Toru Ito still chose to be cautious.

Seeing him so calm and composed, Mei Terumi began to wonder, could it be that the way she ate it from the beginning was not right?

She followed suit.

Eat sashimi as fish hot pot the way Toru Ito does.

The taste is indeed a bit different, without the chewiness, but it has a different flavor.

This is how Konoha eats!

Terumi Mei was thoughtful.

After a simple snack, Mei Terumi did not continue the previous topic. She still needed to think about it.

Although Yuina was still a little unhappy, it was her first time at someone else's place after all, so she suppressed her anger. She just felt sorry for the soft flesh on Ito Toru's waist, which was pulled from time to time.

He could only remain calm and scream in pain in his heart!

The three of them are now walking towards the dormitory arranged by the Hidden Mist Village for Toru Ito and Yuina.

Along the way, there weren't many people around, only the occasional ninja passing by in a hurry.

The streets of the Hidden Mist Village seem quiet and mysterious, giving people a feeling of isolation from the world. The air is filled with moist breath and mist is floating in the air, as if a layer of veil is covering the entire village.

"Here we are."

It didn't take long before Mei Terumi led the two of them to stop in front of a small building.
