Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"leave?"

Yuina looked a little surprised.

She didn't expect Toru Ito to be so decisive.

"Well, leave."

Ito Toru sighed slightly.

"The current stability is only superficial. The Hidden Mist Village will soon be in chaos."

"What about Bai and the others? Should we take them with us?"

"Of course not. This is all I can teach them."

"alright."

Yukina didn't say much.

Although she had some good feelings towards these three hard-working children, if she really brought them back to Konoha Village, that would be another matter.

After all, she had been exposed to ninja training and knew that unnecessary kindness would only bring trouble.

"what?"

So, when Haku, Zabuza and Mizuki returned to the courtyard with heavy hearts, they learned this shocking news.

"But, but..." Bai felt even more sad and hesitated to speak.

Teacher Ito, we are about to leave here!

This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, causing his brain to go blank at that moment.

Then it was as if an endless sadness surged up and drowned him.

"I still have to leave."

Zabuza's voice was low, he couldn't accept this fact either. However, when Ito Toru asked them to go out and cooperate with the Ninja Swordsmen to perform a mission last time, he actually had a vague feeling about it.

It’s just that people always have some luck mentality, thinking that it’s just their own illusion.

And now, when this bad feeling comes true.

Zabuza suddenly felt a little empty.

"We're leaving soon, what should we do..." Shuiyue scratched his head.

He is relatively open-minded.

After all, he was only staying here for a while.

"It won't take long for your brother and Juuzang to hand in their tasks, and then you can leave with them."

Toru Ito had already arranged everything, so he patiently explained everything to them.

"Bai, the ninja clans in the Hidden Mist Village have been almost wiped out now, so you don't have to worry about being captured by them. After Juzo and Mangetsu leave, the Ninja Swordsmen will also need a new leader."

"You and Zabuza will serve as the subsequent leaders. Are you confident?"

"We?" Bai's heart was still bitter, but Zabuza's eyes had already lit up: "Can we, too?"

He longed to change the village.

And the most important thing is to hold power.

The last time he cooperated with the Ninja Swordsmen, he was very envious of Juzo and Mantsuki, and thought it was so impressive that they could lead so many people!

And now, Toru Ito told him that he also had this opportunity.

The ecstasy in Zabuza's heart immediately diluted the sadness of parting.

"of course."

Ito Toru smiled as gentle as always.

“You are my students.”

"Yes!" Bai and Zabuza became serious.

At the same time, I feel a little warm in my heart.

By saying this, Toru Ito officially acknowledged their identities.

They are no longer the helpless children they once were.

"We will have a chance to meet again."

Ito Toru patted their shoulders.

"Cheer up, I'm not leaving now."

"All right……"

A forced smile appeared on his white face.

"This is the right thing to do."

In the following days, the three Bai people received training from Ito Toru almost every day.

All the previous doubts and worries were thrown behind them at this moment, and they just wanted to seize these last moments.

This may be the most relaxing moment in your life.

However, the day of separation finally came.

"Teacher Ito! Be careful on your way!"

Bai waved vigorously towards the receding figure.

His voice was filled with reluctance.

When separation comes, it is still hard to let go.

Zabuza thought as he held back his face as he couldn't help but let his tears flow.

The fog is so thick today.

They could only see two vague figures in the distance, turning around and waving at them.

Then it disappeared into the mist.

"Let's go."

Shuiyue stood there blankly, looking in the direction where Ito Toru's figure disappeared.

The sea breeze blew through the empty courtyard.

"Okay!" Bai Qiang cheered up.

"We have to work harder and not let Mr. Ito down!"

"Let's sort out our things first. The teacher left a lot of things behind and we have to distribute them."

"Row."

Zabuza and Suigetsu were in no mood and had no opinions.

So the three of them returned to the yard and started cleaning.

It's like slowly erasing the traces of memories.

"Look!"

Shuiyue suddenly picked up a thick booklet.

"what is this?"

Zabuza came closer: "Ninjutsu secret book?"

"open to take a look."

Bai also came over.

When Zabuza opened the booklet, the three of them were stunned.

This is a photo album.

It is filled with detailed photos of the three people's training during these days.

There are also small stickers that mark mistakes in the practice and better ways to do it.

"teacher……"

Bai Yu and Zabuza's tears suddenly burst out.

"Don't do this, it's as if Mr. Ito is gone..." Mizuki muttered, touching his eyes.

"Really? The wind blew sand into my eyes."

……

"Finally left."

On the way out, the sun was high in the sky and the thick fog had now disappeared.

Toru Ito was in a relaxed mood. His luggage had been placed in the sealed scroll, and he didn't have to carry so many bags along on the journey. It felt like he was out for a trip.

Yuina was standing nearby, and although she had some feelings, she was also in a relaxed mood.

Because we can go back to Konoha soon.

"Why don't you go faster?" She asked after walking for a long time, somewhat puzzled.

"Some people haven't said goodbye yet."

Ito Toru answered, and at the same time looked in a certain direction as if he noticed something.

"She is coming."

On the mudflat ahead, a slender and graceful figure suddenly appeared.

Terumi Mei!

She walked slowly towards him, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Ito Toru.

"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"

"If I hadn't received the news and rushed here in time, would you have left quietly like this?"

There was a hint of resentment in Mei Terumi's words.

This made Yukina look at Ito Toru strangely, but Ito Toru didn't even look at her.

"You are here now."

"If we really wanted to leave quietly, we would have reached the edge of Konoha Forest by now."

As he spoke, he picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"Humph."

Mei Terumi snorted coldly, her eyes rolled slightly, and she smiled slyly: "Is this the trick you men use? Playing hard to get?"

"You really got me hooked."

"That little Uchiha girl next to him, he's so skilled, could it be that he's used it on you as well?"

"puff!"

Toru Ito couldn't hold it in and it all came out at once.
