Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Logically speaking, Toru Ito's question was actually a bit presumptuous.

But he was Orochimaru's favorite disciple after all, and Tsunade had a good impression of this young man, so she gave a simple answer:

"I'm not sure what topic they are researching, but it's probably related to the legacy left by the Second Hokage."

"The legacy of the Second Hokage?"

Ito Toru was a little surprised.

Yuina and Red Bean, who were listening nearby, also pricked up their ears for gossip.

"Yeah, but they didn't tell me, and I didn't ask much. It might be a jutsu like Flying Thunder God."

Tsunade didn't take it seriously and said casually: "Don't even think about learning ninjutsu of that difficulty, at least before you become a Chunin."

"Now you still need to practice chakra and improve the quality of chakra."

"Especially you, Ito Toru."

She was worried that Ito Toru might be too ambitious, so she doubled her reminder: "Your current Yin Seal has great potential. I'm not bragging. If it weren't for the high requirements for chakra control, I'm afraid it would be able to enter the category of forbidden techniques."

"This is what you need to practice now."

"I understand, Lady Tsunade!"

Toru Ito nodded repeatedly, and at the same time he had a rough idea in his mind.

The second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

The first scientific pioneer in the ninja world, what he is more well-known than his strength is the forbidden techniques he invented.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation...

Nicknamed the Master of Forbidden Techniques.

The one who will be recognized as the heir of his legacy in the future is Ninja World Doctor Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, Ninja World Researcher Orochimaru...

So the forbidden technique he and Kato Dan were researching...

No matter how you think about it, it's that.

Reincarnation of dirty soil!

No wonder...

Ito Toru suddenly felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

No wonder Kato Dan paid the bill for his table when they met by chance in the restaurant last time.

It turns out there is such a relationship!

At the same time, Toru Ito also felt deeply confused.

If he continues at this pace, Orochimaru will definitely be the Hokage!

This generation basically has a close relationship with him.

Although the villagers have a gloomy view of Orochimaru, doesn't the Second Hokage look like a bad guy?

So, it was Danzo's fault after all?

While Ito Toru was thinking, the group finally arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village!

Ito Toru suddenly felt relieved.

Familiar village, familiar protective wall, familiar Konoha security guards...

It’s really reassuring!

"Lady Tsunade! You're back!"

The two security guards were very excited when they saw Tsunade coming back, saying, "The reputation of you, Lord Orochimaru, and Lord Jiraiya has spread throughout the ninja world!"

"what?"

Tsunade was a little surprised: "What kind of reputation can we have?"

"That was said by the demigod Hanzo. He called you the Three Ninjas of Konoha!"

"He praised you a lot for your brave performance on the battlefield, and thought that compared with the Hidden Sand Village, the new generation of Konoha Village is stronger!"

The Konoha security guard's face was full of pride.

Although at the beginning, Salamander Hanzo looked like a clown in the eyes of people from various countries, but with his later achievements and his current identity as the Daimyo of the Rain Country, he began to gradually live up to the title of demigod.

The status of those who can receive his praise and recognition will naturally rise.

For example, Mifune of the Iron Country has now become the leader of the younger generation of Iron Country warriors!

All this was just because Salamander Hanzo spared him and allowed him to come back alive to bring the message.

And according to Hanzo, the three ninjas of Konoha actually had a fight!

Naturally, you can gain greater reputation.

"That guy..."

Tsunade clenched her fists. She could naturally feel that this was Hanzo's conspiracy, and her purpose was to provoke a fight between Konoha and Sand Village.

You have to know that there is a very narrow-minded grandmother Chiyo in the Sand Village. After learning about Hanzo's evaluation, she will definitely be very dissatisfied.

He is also an expert in using poison...

Just thinking about it made Tsunade feel depressed, but she still had a forced smile on her face: "Is Sarutobi-sensei still in the village?"

"Yes! Hokage-sama instructed us to notify you to go to the Hokage's office as soon as we see you return. Ah, why didn't Lord Orochimaru and Lord Jiraiya return with you?"

"They will be back in a few days. I will go and report the situation first. As for you..."

Tsunade turned around and looked at Ito Toru and the other two: "Do you have the mission manual with you?"

"Ah this..."

The three of them shook their heads in unison: "With Sensei Orochimaru."

"That can't be helped. You guys are not included in the battle sequence."

Tsunade helplessly spread her hands: "We can only wait for Orochimaru to come back and fill in the task manual for you. This time it should be considered an S-level task."

"After the mission is over, maybe you can take part in the Chunin Exam early."

? !

As soon as Tsunade said this, both Yuina and Red Bean showed happy expressions on their faces.

And Ito Toru's pupils shrank slightly and his mouth opened unconsciously.

what? !

Chunin? ?

What a joke!

Other Genin dream of becoming Chunin, and then climbing all the way to Jonin, even a Special Jonin!

This represents fame, status, and wealth!

More powerful ninjutsu and more intense battles!

But in Toru Ito's view, this is a shortcut to unlock more ways to die and quickly finish your life!

He doesn't want to be promoted to Chunin!

I have to find a chance to communicate with Teacher Orochimaru...

"Okay, I have to go first. You guys should go back and rest. You must be very tired after being on missions outside for so long."

Tsunade said goodbye to the three of them considerately and left quickly.

"call--"

Yukina stretched out her body, and her whole body relaxed from the tense state, like a lazy cat: "It's finally over. What do you say? Let's go back and wash up, and then have a meal together to celebrate the completion of our mission?"

"I think it's okay!"

Hongdou's eyes lit up: "Ito, you promised to treat me to a lot of three-color meatballs!"

"Ah... that's no problem of course, but let's divide the activity funds first."

Ito Toru looked around and said, "There are too many people here. Let's find a quiet place."

"Why do we have to find a quiet place? It feels like we're dividing the loot with the gangsters..." Yukina complained, but she still went to a quiet alley with Hongdou, led by Toru Ito.

"Teacher Orochimaru gave us a total of 50 taels for activities. Various miscellaneous expenses and investments totaled 34 taels, leaving 10 taels for Karin and the others. We earned 49 taels through business, fighting, and looting in the Rain Country, so we still have 55 taels left."

Toru Ito took out his purse and divided it equally between the two men.

"Wow! This is too much!"

Hongdou held the bulging purse, full of joy, and began to calculate how many tricolor meatballs she could eat.

Yuina also had a happy look on her face. What was important was not the reward of the harvest, but the joy of achieving the result.

Even Toru Ito showed a rare look of relief.

At least I can live comfortably for a long time before the next mission...

"See you later, then!"

"See you soon!"

When Toru Ito and his companions returned to Konoha, Orochimaru, who helped Kimimaro recover all his inheritance, met some unexpected people outside the village.

"Mito-sama? Transfer-sama?"

He saw the two Konoha high-ranking officials walking together towards Konoha, and the Anbu member following them was holding a little red-haired girl's hand.

"Orochimaru?"

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu glanced at him, then said coldly: "Forget what you see now, and don't ask any more questions."

"Yes."

Facing these two Konoha high-ranking officials, even Orochimaru had to lower his proud head.

But he was very confused.

Isn't that the red-haired girl the member of the Uzumaki tribe that was accepted before?
