Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Okay."

After finally replacing all the bandages, Omoi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

This is not an easy task.

Because while changing the bandage, you also have to observe the healing of the wounds, and if there is any deterioration, you have to deal with it.

It's like picking peas with thin chopsticks.

It's a very tiring thing.

What makes him different from the students that Toru Ito had taught in the past is that he does not have such keen control over subtleties, and his patience is not very good either.

So this kind of thing is very difficult for him.

But after all, it was the request of his teacher, so Omoi had no choice but to complete it.

Fortunately, this stage is now completed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Omoi."

Darui looked at the sweaty boy and felt a little embarrassed.

"You're welcome, Lord Darui."

Although he said this, Omoi's attitude towards Darui was obviously not as close as that towards Ito Toru.

"Okay, okay, let's get ready to eat."

While Omoi was busy changing the bandages, Ito Toru had already finished preparing the food.

"Today it's seafood stew with bread and some small greens. I hope you like it."

A large bowl of fragrant stew was served on the table, and next to it was the bread that Omoy had just bought and added to it. It was soft and fluffy, and exuded the aroma of wheat.

The seafood soup that each person had in a bowl was also very fragrant. Just by smelling it, Omoi couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

“This is so delicious!”

"Don't just praise me, come and try it."

Ito Toru invited with a smile, and at the same time packed the meals for the three people.

In the Hidden Cloud Village, people eat separately, and each person has his or her own portion of food in front of him or her.

"Then I'm welcome!"

Omoi got his portion, tasted a few bites, and then exclaimed that it was delicious.

“This is so delicious!”

He ate several mouthfuls of food, then remembered that Darui was watching him, so he moved a small table and sat next to him, eating one bite himself and giving one bite to Darui.

"Thank you... Mmm! It smells so good."

Although Darui didn't have much appetite, seeing Omoi eating so happily, he had no choice but to eat with him.

Toru Ito was taking his portion and eating it slowly at the side.

He still ate very politely.

Neither hurried nor slow, it is more like tasting than eating.

Compared to him, Omoi and Darui were like refugees fleeing famine. It didn't take Xilihulu long to eat up their share.

"It's delicious."

The two of them were still there, savoring the memory.

And Toru Ito also finished his meal at about the same time.

"I'll do the dishes!"

Omoyi volunteered to take on the task of washing the dishes.

"Okay."

Toru Ito did not refuse. He took a small cup of drink and sat next to Darui.

"You're in this state now. Doesn't it seem difficult to carry out the previous plan?"

"It's a bit troublesome... I thought their fighting power would be reduced to a certain extent, but the use of medicine is beyond my imagination."

Darui sighed.

It was indeed his mistake.

In his original plan, the Raikage fell into madness, but the brave and aggressive style of the Hidden Cloud Village meant that other people in the village also had certain combat capabilities.

We just need to find Killer Bee and some powerful men from the Hidden Cloud, and then unite the other scattered forces through the channels left at the beginning, and we can still get things done.

However, the battle with Troy made him face the reality.

"With this kind of power in hand, it's not surprising that the channels and subordinates I originally left behind will be completely uprooted."

"The previous plan won't work, but no matter what, we have to find Killer Bee first. If we want to fight against the Raikage, we can't do without his power, ahem!"

After saying so much in one breath, Darui also coughed a little.

"Sorry..."

He lowered his head, looking a little lonely.

In just less than a week, Darui felt that his life had gone from the peak to the bottom.

A reliable senior, a close comrade-in-arms, and a trustworthy junior.

And the village that I love deeply.

At this moment, it seemed to be burned out.

My body seemed to have become an empty shell, and it would fall down with just a slight breeze.

"What's this?"

Ito Toru patted his shoulder.

"This is the world of ninjas, didn't you say that?"

"...Yes, this is the world of ninja."

Darui raised his tired eyes.

He usually looked exhausted, but this time, he really felt tired.

"have a good rest."

Seeing him like this, Toru Ito didn't say much.

"Ah."

Darui lay down and soon fell into a dream.

His tense face slowly relaxed.

It’s like returning to the past again in a dream.

If you launch the Moon Eye Plan, you will definitely be successful in an instant!

Ito Toru complained in his heart.

"Teacher Ito..."

Omoi, who had just finished washing the dishes, came over and saw that Darui was asleep, so he lowered his voice.

"You stay here and watch him first. I'll go out and get some information."

"Ah...ok."

Omoyi was originally a little worried about Ito Toru's skin color, as he was not a local. If he went out to get information, he would definitely attract extra attention.

But he thought about it and realized that with his current strength, he was indeed not capable of going out on his own to obtain intelligence.

"Please be careful, Mr. Ito."

"Well, you have to be careful too. If you are in danger, open this. You know how to use psychic magic, right?"

Ito Toru took out a scroll and handed it to him.

After all, he is now his registered disciple. Although he does not expect him to achieve much, it would be too embarrassing if he died here...

"Thank you, teacher!"

A look of emotion appeared in Omoi's eyes, and he put the scroll close to his body in his arms.

"I will definitely live up to your trust!"

In fact, it’s not a big deal…

The corner of Ito Toru's mouth twitched, but without saying much, he patted him on the shoulder and turned away.

When he came outside, Toru Ito first changed his clothes, changing into the common clothes of the Hidden Cloud Village, and also carried a sword on his back.

In order to better integrate into the local community, he also took out a bottle of tanning oil and applied it on his body and face to turn his skin brown.

At this glance, he becomes a dark-skinned handsome boy who is a bit similar to Hattori Heiji.

After checking in the mirror again and again, Toru Ito prepared to set off.

But he stopped after taking just a few steps.

"What a coincidence?"

He looked in a certain direction.

There was a shadow under the eaves.

There is nothing else.

However, after Ito Toru finished saying this, the shadow suddenly twisted and deformed, then rose from the ground and turned into a human-shaped black shadow.

Black Zetsu!

"How did you get involved here?"

He stared at Ito Toru with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Konoha already knows about the unusual situation in Kumogakure, so they sent me to investigate."

Ito Toru shrugged: "Or do you want someone else to come?"

"Heh... Konoha is well-informed."

Black Zetsu stared into his eyes: "But why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"

"I didn't even know you were the one who caused the incident in the Hidden Cloud Village, so how could I tell you?"

Ito Toru looked innocent.

"..."

Black Zetsu was speechless for a moment.

It seems to be the same reason?

"Okay, I accept your explanation, but why did you hang out with Darui and that wild boy?"

"Are they also part of your plan?"

"Of course, there are too many rats in the Hidden Cloud Village. I need a bait to catch them all."

"As expected..."

Ito Toru nodded slightly.

Poor Darui, the harder he tried, the more unlucky he became.

Or did he also notice something was wrong and realize that all the previous losses were due to his leading the way?

That's why I suddenly felt so depressed.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

What Darui is facing is the super Voldemort Black Zetsu who has been hiding in the ninja world for hundreds of years!

The chances of winning are almost zero.

but……

Ito Toru's heart moved slightly.

"Kirabi, has he also been controlled by you?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"I want to rescue him."

???

Black Zetsu's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Are you serious?"
