Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The battle ended even faster than Zabuza said.

"..."

With the sharp blade of the kunai only two centimeters away from his throat, Zabuza's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole.

"Accepted."

Shisui exhaled, then put away the kunai.

"As expected of Shunshin Shisui."

Mei Terumi, who was watching the battle, also started to praise.

"With such a powerful teleportation technique, the reputation on the battlefield is indeed not earned in vain."

She felt emotional.

Although it was called a duel, it actually only took less than ten seconds.

Because they were at the village training ground, both sides tacitly agreed not to use large-scale ninjutsu, but instead used physical skills and instant body movements to compete.

Originally, this should have been Zabuza's comfort zone because he had plenty of physical strength.

but……

He hadn't expected this to be Shisui's perfect comfort zone.

Soon Zabuza experienced Shisui's body-flickering technique.

There are three clones at the beginning, and then just like starting up an electric fan, no shadow can be seen at all.

Zabuza only had time to block a few blows before the battle was over.

"It's really strong."

After realizing that he had failed, Zabuza sighed deeply.

There is nothing to be unwilling about.

The gap in strength is too great and the opponent is too strong.

But he also had some small feelings.

Because the chakra fluctuations coming from Shisui were exactly the chakra training method that Toru Ito taught him.

Shisui also noticed the same thing, so he looked at the few people with a much friendlier look.

Only you can practice chakra in this way.

"Accepted."

Shisui said gently, "You have just traveled a long way, so I have the advantage in terms of physical strength."

"Thank you for your comfort, but a loss is a loss."

Zabuza shook his head without becoming depressed. Instead, his eyes lit up with a more fervent fighting spirit: "If there is a chance in the future, can I still seek your advice? Senior Shisui."

"Of course, you're welcome to come anytime."

Shisui smiled and nodded.

At the same time, I have a wonderful feeling in my heart.

Because he had been to the battlefield, he had witnessed the life-and-death struggle between people with different positions.

And now...

It's amazing that we can communicate and exchange ideas in such a peaceful manner.

If it were in the past, he simply could not imagine that the next generation of two parties with such deep hatred could get along so harmoniously.

All this is thanks to one person.

"Teacher Ito, is this why you must go to Kirigakure?"

Only after saying goodbye to Terumi, Mei and the other two did Shisui mutter to himself.

The person who was even more shocked than him was Uchiha Itachi.

His eyes, which had been a little dim these days, gradually regained their former brilliance.

It can actually be done!

Without sacrificing anyone, without bloodshed and pain, you can break free from the cage of hatred.

Even ninjas from different villages can understand each other.

This cast a ray of sunshine into his heart, which was originally shrouded in dark clouds.

"What's wrong, Itachi?"

Shisui asked, noticing Itachi's strange expression as well.

"Ah, nothing, Shisui-senpai."

Itachi slowly stopped smiling, his expression returning to its calm state, but a gleam of joy still remained in his eyes.

“I just think it’s really nice.”

"Yes."

Shisui didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "If this continues, perhaps the era when people understand each other can come sooner."

"By then, our next generation won't have to worry about being haunted by the shadow of war."

"Um……"

Speaking of the word war, a hint of gloom passed through Itachi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

……

Yunyin Village.

Toru Ito took Karin to a hotel and settled down there.

"You guys should stay here for the next few days. Improving your strength is not that easy. It will probably take some time."

"Thank you, brother Ito." Kimimaro thanked him rather embarrassedly.

? !

It was rare to see him thanking someone like this, and Karin next to him looked surprised.

You can actually say thank you?

And the next moment, Toru Ito looked at her again.

"Karin, you have to be more careful these days. The situation in the Hidden Cloud Village is not peaceful right now."

"it is good!"

Karin nodded vigorously.

"Brother Ito, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I can handle any disturbance around here..."

Click.

Before she could finish her words, the floor next to her suddenly opened.

"Ito, are these the two people you want to pick up?"

Darui carefully poked his head out from the hole under the floor and glanced at Karin and Kimimaro.

"Eh eh eh?!!"

Karin was shocked: "Who is it?"

Kimimaro did not look surprised, because Ito Toru was right next to him and he believed that there would be no accidents.

"I haven't had time to introduce you yet. This is Darui. Um... you can think of him as Minato Namikaze from the Hidden Cloud Village."

Ito Toru's explanation was simple and clear, and Kimimaro and Karin understood it immediately. When they looked at Darui, their eyes were full of surprise.

"This dark guy is actually on the same level as Minato Namikaze?" Karin was quite surprised.

"It is indeed very strong..."

After a brief sense, Kimimaro nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Although he is not as strong as Minato Namikaze, Darui is a rare strong man even in Orochimaru's laboratory.

"Thank you for the compliment." Darui rolled his eyes.

"Come down quickly, we have contacted some people and are having a party now."

"Okay, Karin, Kimimaro, I'll leave it to you to watch outside."

"Yes!"

Ito Toru followed Darui into the tunnel under the floor of the room.

This is also the channel used by the underground resistance organization established by Darui and Kirabi for daily communication.

The two walked one in front and one behind in the dark and narrow tunnel.

"How's the Raikage doing?"

"She was controlled by someone. The identity and purpose of the other party are still unclear. The restrictions I placed on her were ineffective."

"Is that really the case... Damn it!"

Darui clenched his fists.

It was no coincidence that Toru Ito appeared in the Raikage Building before.

Rather, it was a tentative action that he came up with after a brief discussion with Kirabi.

And there is no one more suitable than him.

Of course, Killer Bee and Darui didn’t know about the connection between Toru Ito and Black Zetsu, so they were very moved by his righteous act and felt that this man was a good person for not holding grudges!

“How many people have been found so far?”

"We have contacted 324 people, and only a dozen have arrived so far, but they are all trustworthy brothers."

"Where's Kirabi?"

"He's telling everyone about the situation."

A flash of worry flashed across Darui's eyes: "But... compared to the power of the Hidden Cloud Village, it's still a little small."

"Relying solely on these people at the moment, it's simply like delivering food."

He is pessimistic about future actions.

It would have been fine if we hadn't contacted each other, but once we did, we realized that the power in the hands of our people was so weak!

The only high-end combat forces are Kirabi, Darui, and the foreign aid Toru Ito.

The others are just passionate Chunins, there is not even a Jonin.

This is also the reason why Black Zetsu can control Ai with confidence and let him stay in the Raikage Building and not go out.

Because the high-end combat power of the Hidden Cloud Village has basically all been controlled by Black Zetsu!

As for some not so high-end combat forces, Black Zetsu will use secret medicines to forcibly improve their strength.

With this kind of situation, Darui and Kirabi's situation is more difficult than ever!

"It's really a bit difficult to fight..."

After hearing this, Toru Ito also felt a headache.

If left unchecked, it would only be a matter of time before the Hidden Cloud Village would be completely controlled by Black Zetsu.

By then, the ending might be the same as the Village of Blood Mist in the original work.

Although this doesn't matter to Toru Ito.

But if Black Zetsu operates like this, he will inevitably produce a huge number of White Zetsu in the end!

And it’s a White Zetsu with the physique of the Hidden Cloud Village!

He originally had the physique of a fighter, and after transforming into White Zetsu, his strength will only increase, not decrease!

And there is no news from the Hidden Mist Village yet.

Probably……

Ito Toru rubbed his eyebrows.

"I'll think about it later."

It didn't take long for the view ahead of the tunnel to become clear.

A huge underground space surrounded by pipes discharging sewage.

This is the underground sewage transfer station of Yunyin Village.

Kirabi and a dozen others were standing in the middle of the field.

There were torches around them illuminating their brown and white skin. When they heard the sound of Ito Toru and Darui landing, they all turned their heads to look.

"Someone from Konoha?"

One of them frowned slightly: "Kirabi, you didn't say that ninjas from other villages would come."
