Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Teacher Ito, are you worried about Zabuza?" Bai noticed the look in Ito Toru's eyes.

"Well, although nothing will happen to him with his strength, I am worried that he will get into trouble."

Ito Toru smiled and patted Shiro's head.

"Why, are you worried about him too?"

"I... um."

Bai lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Go and rest first. I will try to arrange a combat training for you tomorrow. Don't worry about Zabuza. He will definitely come back."

"Ah."

Bai nodded and went back to his room to rest.

"Hey, hey."

Wait until Bai leaves.

Yukina's eyes were full of gossip, and she poked Ito Toru's arm: "Ito, do you think there seems to be some unusual relationship between the two of them?"

"Did you notice it too?"

"Of course, I'm not blind!"

Yukina glared at Ito Toru, and then a strange smile appeared on her face: "But, I'm really surprised that you, as a man, can actually sense that kind of special emotion, Ito?"

"Special emotions?"

Ito Toru was stunned: "What's so special about it? It's just... huh???"

When he was halfway through his words, he realized what was happening and immediately looked at Yukina with shocked eyes.

So you are also a rotten girl?

It is said that girls all like to watch gays, and Yuina is no exception!

However, the relationship between Zabuza and Haku is pure comradeship and brotherhood!

How could I think of that?

For a moment, Toru Ito couldn't look at Yuina directly.

"what the hell!"

Seeing his expression, Yuina immediately raised her little fist and hit him twice.

"Is it not okay for me to just think about it?"

"It's not that I can't, it's just that I always feel a little weird..."

"Not at all! Stop talking!"

Yuina blocked his mouth.

"Um-"

……

Until late at night.

Toru Ito climbed out of the bed quietly. Yuina, who was sleeping beside him, frowned and made a cute humming sound from her small nose, like a satisfied piglet, but still did not wake up.

"call……"

Toru Ito breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the lamp next to him, quietly walked out the door and lit it.

The warm light slowly illuminates the darkness of the room.

Toru Ito walked out of the house holding a lamp. Next to the door was Zabuza standing against the wall.

"Why don't you go into the house every time?"

Ito Toru yawned: "Do I have to treat you?"

"I'm not used to sleeping in a bed, so this is good."

Zabuza's hair was already covered with dew, and his voice became much colder.

"You are a little different from before. Did something happen to you?"

"Nothing happened."

"Lying is not a good habit. Come on, it's okay to talk to me."

Ito Toru put the lamp aside.

"Of course it doesn't matter if you don't say it. I'm also happy to stand here with you for a night."

"…Stand if you like."

"I'm just being polite. If you really want to stand here all night, I'll knock you out and then take you inside."

"..."

This guy is really a bad person...

Zabuza clenched his fists.

He had no doubt that what Ito Toru said was true.

This guy doesn't have the demeanor of a master at all, he is really capable of doing such a thing!

"So are you going to tell me or not? Don't force me to use illusions on you to make you tell me."

"……I said."

Zabuza is also a person who is very good at judging the situation.

Although Ito Toru's tone was very strong, it was still friendly compared to that of Cardo, whom he had never met.

"But before I say that, I have to remind you that this matter involves a lot of trouble. If you don't want to be involved in trouble, it's better not to listen to it." Zabuza issued a final warning.

"Is there anything more troublesome than what I have now?"

Ito Toru looked at him as if he was concerned about a fool: "Just tell me what you want to say."

"Haha... since you insist on getting involved, I won't stop you."

"Have you ever heard of Cardo?"

"Cado? The one with the underground gang?"

???

Zabuza was already prepared to see Ito Toru's confused expression, but now he himself showed a confused expression on his face.

"But his people said he was running a company."

"A company that does business without capital? To put it nicely, it's the black gloves of the daimyo, to put it bluntly, it's the chamber pot of the nobles. Can such a person be considered troublesome?"

"..."

After hearing what Ito Toru said, Zabuza suddenly felt a little confused.

The psychological pressure that he had been bearing like a mountain suddenly collapsed at this moment.

I even had a feeling that I had no idea why I was afraid and worried about such a stupid thing.

"Did you run into his men?"

Ito Toru looked Zabuza up and down in confusion: "And you lost?"

"I……"

Zabuza's face immediately turned red.

"It can't be considered a complete loss. I just didn't win! How can you say you lost when it comes to ninja matters?"

"Can't even beat you? That guy Cardo has improved!" Toru Ito was a little surprised.

The character Cardo appeared in the original work.

At that time, he was the financial backer behind Zabuza and attracted a lot of hatred.

However, most of his subordinates were wandering ninjas and trash, and a large number of them were killed by the seriously injured Zabuza.

I didn't expect that he would appear now, and he has set his sights on Zabuza.

"I'--"

Zabuza wanted to explain, but after thinking it over, he felt there was no need, so he lowered his head.

"I wasn't as fast as him, but that man committed suicide."

This caused a great psychological trauma on him, and was also the reason why Zabuza was so afraid of Cardo.

"Um……"

Ito Toru touched his chin and said, "If there is such a strong person, why would they target you? People like them don't spend time and energy to train people. They usually only choose those who have already formed combat power."

"It looks more like a murderer deliberately sent to put psychological pressure on you."

“But he’s very strong.”

"Isn't it that kind of drug that is popular in the Water Country recently? It is said that the drug in the underground black market can increase strength in a short period of time."

Toru Ito immediately figured out the key and clapped his hands.

"Sacrificing an ordinary person with some talent to subdue a truly talented and powerful fighter, this kind of deal is worthy of being a businessman!"

"What did you say?"

Zabuza is now in a state of confusion.

Of course he understood the hidden meaning of Toru Ito's words, but he couldn't believe this reality for a moment.

I was deceived!

And I was cheated of my life!

more importantly.

Zabuza is not a fool. After Toru Ito explained the matter, he immediately realized the key.

Suddenly, the pale face slowly turned red...
