Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Then I'll leave Cardo to you."

Without saying anything more, Toru Ito silenced Cardo and handed him over to Zabuza.

Just give it to me like this?

Zabuza was still a little dazed.

He knew the importance of this character.

He is not only the middleman between the Daimyo of the Land of Water and some shady forces, but he also influences the situation in the Hidden Mist Village to a certain extent.

And Toru Ito actually handed him over to him just like that?

"Don't forget to compete with Bai."

After Ito Toru finished speaking, he waved to Bai and said, "It's almost time, we should go."

"Ah, goodbye, Zabuza."

Bai hurried over and stood with Ito Toru, while politely saying goodbye to Zabuza.

"...Goodbye, we'll see each other tomorrow anyway."

Zabuza was quite speechless.

He was still not used to the white look now.

She was so decisive and ruthless before, but now she became so indecisive and gentle, which made him very unhappy.

However, out of the friendship they had just fought side by side, he nodded anyway.

Ito Toru and Shiro left just like that.

There are boats moored at the pier.

After Ito Toru took Shiro on board, they slowly sailed away.

And Bai seemed to be worried. After leaving for a long time, he was still looking in the direction of the island manor and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

He was so focused that even when Ito Toru waved his hand in front of him, he didn't react.

"Still thinking about Zabuza?"

Toru Ito looked at him and laughed.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Mr. Ito..." Bai's face turned red after he came to his senses.

"I was just concentrating too much on my thoughts."

"What are you thinking about? Is it about Zabuza?"

"Well... I feel like he's not as cold and heartless as he looks, but I don't understand why he would deliberately act like this."

"This..."

Ito Toru shrugged.

"I don't know either. Maybe you have to find the answer yourself."

"What will be the end of Cardo? I saw the victims killed by him. It was really tragic."

Thinking of the tragic scene he had seen before, Bai Yanzhong still felt a little angry.

He never thought that people could be so cruel.

They can simply be called beasts!

"It's definitely not going to end well. The interrogation methods of the Kirigakure Anbu are no joke."

"Ok!"

Bai nodded vigorously.

……

Not long after, Mei Terumi, who received the news, also arrived late with a team of Kirigakure Anbu members.

"Is the battle here over?"

she asked Zabuza.

"Yes, Terumi Mei-sama."

Zabuza bowed his head, "I took it upon myself to interrogate Cardo."

"Nothing, as long as I can get some useful information. By the way, where is Cardo?"

"That's the one."

Zabuza pointed to the side.

Mei Terumi looked over and saw a person who looked like a blood gourd tied to a wooden stake.

"Is this Cardo?"

Even though she had seen many interrogation scenes in her ninja career, Mei Terumi's mouth twitched when she saw this.

Do you really call this interrogation? This is pure torture!

But thinking about what Cardo had done, Mei Terumi did not blame Zabuza too much.

"Take him back and continue your mission. Also, this is Ito Toru's reward, so take it with you."

"Master Mei Terumi, why don't you go there yourself?"

"There's nothing we can do about it~" Mei Terumi showed a subtle smile on her face.

"His female companion doesn't seem to welcome me very much."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

It is already afternoon in the small courtyard by the sea.

Because of the sea breeze, there is not much thick fog here.

Wow——!

Yuina was using ropes to make a clothesline in the yard, and then she put the washed clothes and some bed sheets on it to dry.

She loves doing this kind of thing.

The breeze brings a cool breath, and the freshly washed sheets exude a fresh scent.

If in the future...

Some fantasies about being a girl emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly.

But soon, Yuina remembered the face of Mei Terumi, and the sweet smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"I didn't expect there's a vixen here!"

Her brows furrowed slightly.

Woman's intuition made Yuina wary of Mimei.

Although she believed that Ito Toru would not be tempted by such a vixen, but...

Things like feelings are the most unpredictable!

And Mei Terumi is really charming.

Very powerful!

Yukina looked down at herself.

It can only be considered small-scale...

No match at all!

"Ugh……"

She sighed softly.

With a thousand thoughts in my mind, I looked towards the sea in the distance...

Why hasn't Ito come back yet?

Could something happen?

At this moment, suddenly a small boat appeared on the distant skyline and slowly came towards this side.

They're back!

Yukina's face showed joy at first, then some confusion.

Because she only felt the chakra of two people.

What's going on?

With Toru Ito around, is it possible that there will be a reduction in staff?

But soon, Yukina's doubts were answered.

The boat was moving very fast. It was far away in the sky, but it reached the shore in an instant.

This is all thanks to Bai's wind escape technique.

Toru Ito was standing at the bow, looking at Yuina who was running towards him on the beach with a smile on his face.

"We're back."

"Welcome back."

If Bai hadn't been there, Yuina would definitely jump into Ito Toru's arms and give him a big hug.

But after all, there are outsiders present now, so Yuina still remains restrained.

"Hahahaha! Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The next second, Toru Ito strode forward and hugged Yuina.

"Zabuza had other missions, so he didn't come back with us."

"That's it."

"Shiro, just continue your training and feel the chakra as I taught you before."

"Yes."

Bai Ye was very considerate and left quickly.

He is still young, but he is very aware of the atmosphere.

"This child is quite smart."

Yukina glanced in the direction where Bai left and hugged Ito Toru even tighter.

"Yes."

Feeling the strength of Yuina's embrace, Ito Toru was stunned at first, then he smiled.

He liked this feeling very much.

It's an indescribable sense of security.

It made him feel extremely at ease.

"Come on, I'll tell you what we encountered on this mission."

"Ah."

The two returned to the room in the yard together.

Bai was still sitting cross-legged on the sea, with a thin layer of ice supporting his body.

"call……"

"call……"

Bai breathed, white mist escaping from his mouth and nose.

The aura on his body is also slowly getting stronger.
