Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"that……"

As a ninja school student who graduated at the same time as him, Minato Namikaze knew Toru Ito, and the two had dealt with each other several times, so they could barely be considered acquaintances.

So he was a little confused about Ito Toru's current behavior and didn't understand what he was doing.

"Ito, what are you doing..."

Namikaze Minato asked cautiously.

"Ah, don't worry about it, I'm filming the beating scene."

Toru Ito took a few more photos.

"Come on, smile. You are the protagonist, your expression can't be so stiff."

"Eh eh eh?"

Namikaze Minato's smile froze a little, and a few beads of cold sweat oozed out of his head: "The beating scene you mentioned, could it be..."

"Yes, that's the scene where you beat someone up."

Ito Toru replied as a matter of course: "My camera can produce pictures immediately, just wait."

Swah——

The photos just taken were developed. Ito Toru took out a photo and showed it to Minato Namikaze: "Look."

In the photo, three uncles who were beaten unconscious were sitting in a very regular row against the wall, and Minato Namikaze was in the C position. In the photo, he turned around and looked at the camera with a bit of surprise.

It was like a handsome villain who had just committed an atrocity and didn't expect to be discovered.

"..."

Namikaze Minato felt as if his head was about to explode. He walked over with a wry smile and said, "Things are not what you think. Let me explain..."

Your remarks are really dangerous.

Ito Toru was so angry that he put the photo away immediately and moved away a little: "I won't listen, go explain it to the Konoha Guard!"

"oops!"

Namikaze Minato's face became even more helpless. Although he could explain it clearly to the Konoha Guard, this kind of private fight would always be difficult to explain if it was recorded in the files.

Especially since he is a person who is very afraid of trouble.

"Don't be like this, Ito, please listen to me first, things are really not what you think, I only took action to protect myself."

"Many people can prove it for me. Even if I go to the Konoha Guard, I can still get out."

Namikaze Minato explained very patiently.

"Really? Then I'm going to scream now—"

Toru Ito pretended to shout, and Namikaze Minato quickly stopped him.

"No, no, no, I give up, I give up, Ito, what do you want?"

Minato Namikaze raised his hands to show his surrender. He really had no way to deal with Toru Ito.

"Humph."

Only then did Ito Toru reveal a smile of success.

"Namikaze, you don't want your assault to be exposed, right?"

"Ah, they all said I took action to protect myself..."

"Too naive, Namikaze. Ninjas always have to pay the price for their carelessness. Putting aside the reasons, just tell me whether you hit anyone or not."

"Uh……"

It was the first time that Minato Namikaze encountered this kind of modern boxing, and like all people who encountered boxing for the first time, he was confused.

A deep feeling of powerlessness fills my whole body.

"But don't worry, I'm not such an unreasonable person."

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Toru Ito changed the subject.

"As long as you agree to my request, I can destroy these photos..."

Although these lines always have a strange and bad feeling, Minato Namikaze's originally depressed and helpless heart also turned into some curiosity.

"What's the request?"

"I need you to protect me for a while."

"Protect?"

The wry smile on Minato Namikaze's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Ito, have you been threatened? Or have enemies sneaked into the village?"

Minato Namikaze doesn't care about minor fights between his companions, but if it involves a hostile ninja village, he will take it seriously!

"If that's the case, don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"

Minato Namikaze looked serious, and at this moment, Toru Ito felt as if he was shrouded in holy light.

If it were anyone else, they might say something about why not ask the guiding jonin for help, or give some advice on staying out of the matter.

But Minato Namikaze was not like that. He gave people a sense of unconditional tolerance from the first moment. Even Toru Ito, who had little contact with him, suddenly had a much better impression of Minato Namikaze at this moment!

"Uh……"

Toru Ito was about to say something but stopped himself. He suddenly felt a little ashamed, but he quickly dispelled it.

"Is it inconvenient to tell me? It doesn't matter, you don't have to tell me."

Namikaze Minato was very understanding and said: "I will protect you."

"It's not what you think."

Toru Ito thought about it and decided to tell Minato Namikaze something, otherwise this guy might really kill him!

After all, Minato Namikaze's kindness and warmth are only directed at his own people. When facing his enemies, he is the terrifying golden flash!

If Ito Toru doesn't explain clearly, Yuina might be killed in the blink of an eye before she even opens her mouth...

That would be a really big deal!

So he briefly explained that he was being troubled by Yuina.

"..."

After hearing the reason, Minato Namikaze was speechless.

Just for this?

However, his expression became a little more relaxed. After all, his team's mission was completed and he had nothing else to do, so he might as well take this opportunity to enhance the relationship among his companions.

Minato Namikaze is very cheerful and popular, but he always lacks a sense of security in his heart, so he needs so many friends to help dispel the anxiety in his heart.

And Ito Toru seems a little different from the others...

"Earlier in school, Ito, you hid your strength, right?"

As the two walked, they talked about the past, and Namikaze Minato took the initiative to talk about the ninja school.

"It can't be considered hiding, it can only be said that I didn't use my full strength. After all, this is just a sparring match, not a fight to the death. If I really use my full strength, I can't guarantee the safety of my opponent..."

"It seems that you are really suitable for being a ninja, Ito..." Namikaze Minato sighed, "I heard that you carried out a B-level mission for the first time, fought against real ninjas, and successfully completed the mission. My teammates are very envious."

"Because we are only carrying out a D-level mission, helping a lady find her lost kitten, alas..."

"It spread so quickly?"

Ito Toru was a little surprised.

It hasn’t been two hours since I and others completed the task, right?

"The village is not big, and if there is any disturbance, the whole village will know about it."

"Then, will the incident of a certain blond boy beating someone spread quickly?"

"Ahem! Didn't we agree not to mention this?"

"Eh?"

Minato Namikaze noticed a scene in front of him out of the corner of his eye and was suddenly stunned.
