Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Teacher Ito! Be careful!" Zabuza shouted, his tone full of confidence.

Zabuza was in high spirits at this moment. He felt a powerful force surging in his body. This force made his confidence swell to an unprecedented level.

I’ve become stronger. I’ve really become stronger!

"Roar--"

The water dragon was also roaring beside Zabuza. Its body was made entirely of flowing water, and its scales were lifelike. It was huge and powerful, exuding a terrifying aura. As Zabuza charged forward, the water dragon opened its huge mouth and sprayed out a huge column of water, rushing straight towards Ito Toru.

“Good momentum!”

Toru Ito looked at Zabuza and Suiryu and nodded slightly in approval.

His voice was calm and firm, without any fear.

Then, he formed a seal with one hand, and a shadow clone rushed out from behind him.

Bang!

In just a moment, the shadow clone smashed the huge water column sprayed by the water dragon, making a loud noise!

"what!"

Zabuza was shocked.

How can the shadow clone be so powerful?

There was no time to think, and the water dragon was completely defeated!

"not good!"

After easily defeating the water dragon, the shadow clone did not stop at all and rushed towards Zabuza at lightning speed!

All this happened in just a few seconds!

"Drink!"

Zabuza burst out with all his strength and delivered a final blow, finally successfully shattering Ito Toru's shadow clone!

"HAHAHAHAHA! I did it!"

Zabuza's face was filled with excitement and pride, and his eyes were shining with victory.

bang~

At this moment, the shattered shadow clone suddenly turned into a ball of white mist and dissipated.

The white mist dissipated in an instant, and behind it, another shadow clone appeared!

This sudden change caught Zabuza off guard.

"No way? How could there be another shadow clone?" Zabuza's smile froze instantly and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

He originally thought the battle was over, so he was completely unprepared!

Even the body was completely relaxed, without any strength left!

"You are still too young. You can't let your guard down during a battle."

Ito Toru's faint voice came from a distance.

Then the shadow clone rushed forward and pressed Zabuza's shoulder with his hand.

"This is--"

Before he could react, Zabuza felt the air around his body suddenly become heavy.

Then a damp breath surrounded his body.

A large amount of water flow appeared out of nowhere in the surrounding air, surrounding Zabuza and trapping him!

"This is a jutsu prepared just for you, the Water Prison Jutsu."

Toru Ito had a somewhat evil smile on his face as he looked at Zabuza who was trapped in the water ball.

This water prison technique is a modified version, leaving Zabuza's head exposed to prevent him from suffocating to death.

However, even so, the water still tightly bound his body, making him unable to move.

"I still lost..."

Zabuza struggled for a few times and confirmed that he could not break free, so he sighed helplessly, with a hint of frustration and unwillingness in his eyes.

Although I had a premonition a long time ago, I still felt very unhappy when failure really came!

"It's already a very good performance. If we keep this form against them in the future, we may have a chance to win."

After Ito Toru finished speaking, he looked to the other side.

"After watching for so long, it's time to come out, right?"

"Huh? You actually found it."

There was a sound of surprise in the air.

Finally, in the empty space where there was nothing, the light suddenly became blurred, revealing the figure of Mei Terumi.

"It's a good idea to become invisible directly through the refraction of light."

Ito Toru nodded: "But the chakra in your body cannot be hidden at all."

"Terumi Mei-sama!"

Zabuza quickly saluted.

"You're welcome." Mei Terumi glanced at Zabuza, then at Toru Ito, with surprise in her eyes.

She was very clear and understood Zabuza's previous appearance.

He is totally a gloomy boy.

And now, after just following Toru Ito for a few days, his condition has obviously improved a lot!

At least now he looks like a normal ninja.

"Thank you, Ito."

Mei Terumi expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

"There's nothing to thank me for. You can't possibly come to me just to say thank you, right?"

Toru Ito glanced towards the courtyard, and fortunately, he didn't see Yuina.

"It's not convenient here. Let's find another place to talk. Zabuza, you go back first."

"Yes."

Zabuza left sensibly.

Toru Ito and Mei Terumi walking on the beach.

"The Ninja Swordsmen have already recruited 200 people. Although their strengths vary, they are indeed useful talents."

Mei Terumi spoke slowly.

"Why are you telling me this? You really think I'm your advisor." Ito Toru said with empty eyes.

"Aren't we allies of friendly nations now?"

Mei Terumi smiled charmingly: "As someone as capable as you, of course you can understand what I mean. As long as our cooperation is close enough and our interests are aligned enough, there is nothing that cannot be done."

After saying that, she blinked at Ito Toru and her eyes unconsciously moved downwards.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Toru Ito took a half step back, looking righteous.

"The children are nearby!"

"I see you don't care about those kids, but about that girl, right?"

The smile on Terumi Mei's face became even more arrogant. She took a big step forward, her hair almost touching the tip of Ito Toru's nose.

At this time, Ito Toru discovered that Mei Terumi seemed to have grown a lot taller...

It wasn't long before Mei Terumi was already half a head taller than him.

"Is she someone you like?"

Mei Terumi came closer and whispered, "She seems to like you very much."

"After you go back this time, you won't get married, right?"

"of course."

Ito Toru took a deep breath.

"But that has nothing to do with what I'm going to tell you."

"alright."

The corners of Mei Terumi's mouth curled up slightly: "This is not bad."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Two new people have arrived in the Hidden Mist Village. They are related to the Akatsuki organization."

"You mean...Juzo and Mangetsu?"

"You've already met them? That makes sense."

"They are you..."

"I didn't invite them here. They have other missions. However, they can help stabilize the situation in the Water Kingdom."

"Oh?"

Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes slightly: "Why are you so kind? Is it... for me?"

Her bold words and the barely concealed desire in her eyes were like flickering flames, trying to ignite Toru Ito's heart.

If this had happened under normal circumstances, Toru Ito would have been ignited long ago.

But thinking about the Sharingan not far away, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his back, and he immediately became much more sober.

"Please behave."
