Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

It's more of an assassination list than a plan.

All that's listed above is a long list of names and the directions to where these people are.

A crude map, mostly just names and crosses.

Is this for you to play Assassin's Creed in the Water Kingdom?

"So what do we do?"

Juzang humbly asked for advice.

"This mission has been accepted and cannot be abandoned."

"Well... it's a little tricky, but it's not a big problem."

After thinking about it for a while, Toru Ito came up with an idea.

"You guys find a place to stay first, and I'll help you contact people later."

"it is good."

So Juzo and Mantsuki left, but Suigetsu did not leave with them, but was left behind.

"Well... Shuiyue, there is still some time. Go to the beach and find the two kids you met earlier and practice with them."

"You two are about the same age, so you should be able to chat with each other."

"it is good."

Mizutsuki had no objection to Toru Ito's arrangement, and went there with a well-behaved and sensible look.

After everyone else had left, Yuina slowly walked out of the house.

"Why should you help them?"

She didn't quite understand: "This is their mission, it's none of our business."

"No, it still has something to do with us." Ito Toru explained: "After all, we still have to stay in the Land of Water for a while. If they want to cause trouble, it will inevitably affect us."

"The incident in Cardo is just a starting point. The reform of the Water Country is now underway, which will inevitably lead to a counterattack from those stubborn forces, and it will be difficult for us to remain immune."

"Is this so..."

Yukina was thoughtful.

"You said earlier that you would help them get in touch. Are you going to go find that woman again?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked as if nothing had happened.

But Toru Ito was so smart that he smelled the danger immediately.

"How is that possible~"

He smiled with a slightly awkward look.

"The Hidden Mist Village didn't pay me, so I won't work for them for nothing."

"is it?"

Yuina raised her chin slightly and looked down at Ito Toru condescendingly.

"Perhaps it's not a monetary reward..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Toru Ito was drinking tea when he choked and started coughing.

"Stop, stop, stop! Let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting more and more outrageous."

After finally catching his breath, he raised his hands in surrender.

And Yukina didn't continue joking, but talked about another matter seriously:

"I went outside to ask around today, and it seems that Yagura is very unwilling to accept the previous defeat..."

"There is still a risk of war between Konoha and Kirigakure."

"You are not aware of this situation, are you?"

She looked into Ito Toru's eyes.

"Well..."

Ito Toru lowered his voice and was slowly drowned out by the sound of the waves.

Wow – Wow –

On the beach.

Suigetsu came to Zabuza and Haku's side and sat down cross-legged, imitating them.

But he is different from the other two.

The two were practicing chakra, while Suigetsu was simply sitting there staring at the sea in a daze.

"..."

Zabuza opened his eyes, looked at him, and then looked away.

Without asking, I knew it must be Toru Ito who asked this white-haired boy to come here.

Now he knew the identities of these three people.

The Hozuki clan, and a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

It seems that he is not a minion of the Daimyo of the Water Country, so there will be no problem.

"..."

There was silence, but Shuiyue didn't feel awkward. He really enjoyed being in a daze like this.

After a while.

He felt someone poking his arm, and came back to his senses from his daze, looking to the side in confusion.

It's white.

Previously, Shuiyue noticed that the child had a very pretty appearance and thought it was a girl, but now he has sensed that the chakra of the other person is that of a male.

"what happened?"

Although Shuiyue showed a puzzled expression when asking, she was actually prepared to be provoked in her heart.

He didn't grow up in a greenhouse.

Suigetsu was not a particularly outstanding member of the family, and the Kizuki clan had long since declined. He also walked out of the Shura field of the ninja school step by step.

If I fight this guy, I should have a chance of winning.

Shuiyue thought to herself, and tensed up secretly.

Be ready to strike at any time.

"You don't have to be so nervous. I mean no harm."

Unexpectedly, Bai's voice was gentle and calm, and he had no intention of taking action at all.

"what?"

Shuiyue didn't understand now.

"Aren't you just wasting your time just sitting here without practicing chakra?"

Bai looked at him seriously: "Although I don't know why you are here, but since Mr. Ito didn't say anything, you will most likely become our classmate in the future."

"Study together?"

Shuiyue was confused: "Is this some kind of ninjutsu cram school?"

"Hey, hey, hey... I finally graduated from that hellish ninja school, and I don't want to go through it all over again!"

"This is not a ruthless place like the Kirigakure Ninja School. You can practice the way you like, but you cannot not practice."

While Bai was speaking, he already had a hand on Shuiyue's shoulder.

"Don't resist. I will teach you how chakra flows."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shuiyue thought, it would be strange if I didn’t resist!

So he immediately tried to mobilize his chakra and use the water transformation technique to escape.

however--

Click, click, click!

Along with the sound of ice freezing, waves of cold air came from Bai's palms, and Shuiyue's entire body except for her head was frozen at once.

A small crust of ice formed on his outside.

Only one head was left outside.

"Hey, hey...really? How come you are from the Snow Clan?"

Shuiyue looked at Bai with a look of despair.

He was reminded when he was very young that the natural enemy of the Ghost Lantern Clan was the Snow Clan.

The water transformation they were good at was completely defeated by the ice escape technique of the Snow Clan!

There were not many people in this tribe to begin with, and the previous war with the Kaguya tribe had resulted in the death of many geniuses among them.

Why is there another one popping up now?

"It's better if you don't even think about running away."

There was still a smile on his white face.

However, Shuiyue's body had begun to tremble, half because of the cold and half because of fear.

"I...I know."

He finally bowed his head in his heart.

"That's great. Come on, I'll teach you."

Bai nodded manyly, while Zabuza next to him looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Good man, when did you learn how to manage?

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

I'm not going to become this girl's subordinate in the future, am I? !
