Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The fragrant meat porridge exudes an enticing aroma, which makes people feel extra at ease on such a rainy day.

It was like a ray of warm sunshine suddenly appeared in the sky that was originally covered by dark clouds.

Yahiko, who had been treated coldly for a while, actually felt a little uncomfortable.

Am I dreaming?

He stood there blankly, suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed.

"If you want more, you have to queue up again. Go, go, the people behind you are still waiting."

Seeing him standing there with the porridge in his hand, Toru Ito reminded him impatiently, then waved his hand, asking this young man who came from nowhere to get out of the way quickly.

"Oh, okay, sorry to bother you..."

Yahiko realized his mistake, his face turned red, and he quickly left with two servings of porridge.

His heart was filled with gratitude.

Although the boy in front of him, who was about the same age as him, showed an impatient look, there was no contempt or ridicule in his tone.

Just like being friends and getting along on equal terms.

This person... is such a good person!

Even though they were far away, Yahiko couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I want one more, too!"

The young man queuing behind followed suit and wanted to get one for free.

"Then you have to pay for an extra portion." Ito Toru narrowed his eyes, seeing through the young man's little thoughts and not intending to indulge him.

"Why? That little brat just now, why can he do it?!"

The young man looked like he was about to make trouble: "Aren't you bullying an honest person?"

Swish-!

Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light, and a long knife emitting cold air was placed on his neck.

The one holding the knife handle was a pretty black-haired girl who had been helping out nearby, and who had not attracted many people’s attention. But at this moment, her pretty face was filled with murderous intent, and she looked intimidating without even getting angry!

"Gulu."

The young man swallowed his saliva, immediately put away his previous rogue appearance, and honestly took out double the silver: "I'll give...Is it not okay if I give..."

"Thank you for your patronage."

Ito Toru accepted the silver and made him two bowls of porridge, and Yuina also took back the long sword.

This small twist naturally attracted the attention of the people behind, and some people started to sneer:

"What an idiot! How can two kids dare to open a shop here without any ability?"

"That little girl should be the bodyguard hired by this young boss."

"Last time, several adults wanted to collect protection money from them, but they were all knocked down. It took them several days to recover!"

"Why don't you ask around before you come looking for trouble?"

The young man, with his face red and ears flushed, carried his porridge and slipped away amid the laughter.

However, Toru Ito did not care about these little episodes and continued selling porridge as if nothing had happened.

In just two hours, the two large buckets of porridge prepared by Ito Toru were sold out.

"Okay, we're not selling any more today, everyone please go back!"

He knocked on the empty bucket with a spoon, shouted to the back, and started packing up. Although the people in the queue behind him were full of regret, they had no choice but to leave.

"Phew—what a fulfilling day!"

After packing up his things and thoroughly cleaning all the utensils with water escape technique, Toru Ito lay down on the sofa.

When he thought of the extra money, the smile on his face became even more satisfied.

"I-To-Toru!"

Accompanied by the sound of Yuina gritting her teeth, a taken-off apron was thrown at Toru Ito's face!

"Is this the plan you were talking about?"

"We have been selling porridge here for many days!"

“What on earth do you want to do!!”

She came up to Ito Toru with a menacing look, looking down at him viciously, as if she was going to strangle him with both hands if they had a disagreement.

"calm down!"

Taking the apron off his face, Ito Toru quickly shouted, "Easy, easy, Yukina!"

"We are gathering intelligence!"

"Well, tell me what information you found out. If you can't, I will go and take out a few Rain Ninjas today!"

She acted as if she was ready to leave right away, and it was obvious that she was very angry!

"No!"

Ito Toru raised his hands high: "I say! I say it's not enough."

"Let me see what you have to say today!"

Yuina sat down on the sofa and stared at Ito Toru with eyes as if she wanted to eat him alive!

It's a bit like my daughter-in-law at home losing her temper...

And Ito Toru could only wipe his cold sweat and defend himself:

"First of all, I really didn't expect that the rice sealed in the scroll would actually deteriorate..."

Speaking of this, Toru Ito felt annoyed.

There was so much moisture in the Rain Country that after they had been there for two days, the preserved rice had turned from pure white to slightly yellow.

If it is left for another two days, it will probably turn blue. If it is left for another four days, it will start to grow hair!

No wonder Uncle Hirata and his men were hungry. In this weather, the shelf life of food will become very short!

In order to avoid wasting food and implement the philosophy of Gou Dao, Toru Ito came up with the idea of ​​selling porridge. This way he could recover some of the costs and also dispose of all the rice that was about to go bad.

As for giving the thick porridge to the war orphans, it was just a coincidence. Because Yukina didn't want to sell porridge all morning, she chose to clear out the stock by selling and giving away porridge in this way.

"Why not just send it?"

Although Yuina accepted this explanation, she still felt very troubled.

I'm a ninja!

If the elders of the tribe knew that I used the fireball technique to light the stove, they would probably be so angry that they would die!

This damn Ito Toru is still there making sarcastic remarks like "As expected of the Sharingan, his observation of fire is really first-rate"!

"If we send it directly, everyone will know there is a problem."

"Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. It would be bad if it attracted extra attention. This can barely explain it."

Ito Toru spread his hands: "We are ninjas, Yuina."

"..."

Yukina clenched her fists.

I just don't want to be taught a lesson by you like this!

We clearly agreed to come to the battlefield, so why did we end up going to the mall?

Is business war also a battlefield?

"Ahem... Of course it's not just that."

Facing Yukina's resentful gaze, Ito Toru decided to reveal some additional information: "You see, our reputation here has spread. Everyone calls us the Great Good Men of Konoha. In other words, our reputation in this town has reached friendly level, so we can do a lot of things."

"whats the matter?"

"For example, to find out some information that strangers can't get!"

Ito Toru showed a bit of pride on his face: "And... slowly get in touch with the upper class of the Rain Country."

"Hanzo the Salamander fights everywhere, but he's just a tool!"

"I solve problems directly from the owner of the tool!"

There was an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, and Yuina had gradually understood that whenever there was such a bright light flashing in Ito Toru's eyes, someone was about to be in trouble!

But... didn't you say something like "I think ninjas should not be just tools" a few days ago?

I thought it was cool at the time!

Yuina, with your eyes half empty, please return the fleeting feeling of gratitude to me!

Although she was a little speechless, Yuina had to admit that Ito Toru's words convinced her.

"Row!"

"Let's go, let's go eat something. I'm hungry after working for so long!" Toru Ito touched his stomach.

Although they sell porridge, they don't eat it themselves.

Because although porridge is very filling, it cannot provide the energy that a ninja consumes when moving.

The Bingliang Pills are war supplies used during missions, and they are not easy to deteriorate even in this kind of weather.

In order to replenish the usual chakra and energy, you still have to eat some proper food.

"Let's go! Let's go get a good meal!"

So the two of them locked the door and went out.

And in a hidden corner.

"Hululu——"

Yahiko and Konan were slurping porridge from paper bowls.

There was a garbage dump next to the two of them. After being wet by the rain, it gave off a strange smell, but they didn't mind it at all and just drank happily beside it.
