Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, since you are asking for my advice, and my advice is this."

Nono remained neither humble nor arrogant, and her behavior really made Danzo very angry. He clenched his crutch and then slowly loosened it. He really couldn't do anything with her for the time being.

Very angry!

But you still have to pretend to be calm.

If Nono hadn't been hiding in the darkness, he would have been able to see that Danzo's face was slowly turning red.

However, even if he was very angry, Danzo couldn't do anything to Nono

Because in the Root organization, Nono's position is irreplaceable!

No one has such excellent disguise and intelligence gathering abilities as her!

The code name [Walking Priestess] is not just for nothing.

For Danzo, Nono is a pair of eyes that can investigate the situation outside.

No matter how angry you are, you cannot poke your own eyes out.

"Good good."

Danzo took several deep breaths and made up his mind to train some intelligence talents who were loyal to him.

But such talents are generally extremely smart and gifted, and are hard to come by.

As of now, the first person Danzo thinks of is Toru Ito!

This made him even more upset.

"Next, there will be a great war between Konoha and Sand Village. I hope you can make good use of your intelligence talent."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Nono nodded slightly in acceptance.

Although she had some extra opinions about Danzo, Nono was still able to understand the battle between the two villages clearly.

"Humph."

Danzo snorted and left.

Nono was left alone, standing there in silence.

If it were before, it would not be a bad idea for her to report these things.

But after all, she has done a lot of intelligence work and is an excellent intelligence officer herself, so she is very aware of the importance of Toru Ito.

This boy's future should not be overwhelmed by the darkness at the root.

Nono also had some knowledge about the Chunin Exam and knew that Toru Ito met the second place winner, Mei Terumi, in the final battle in the first round, which was why he was defeated directly.

She would never believe it if she was told that there was no interference from Danzo.

Nono felt this was extremely unfair.

Moreover, I don’t know when my teacher started to change.

Danzo was not like this at the beginning.

Although he is not good at expressing his emotions, he still takes extra care of his subordinates and students. However, since he founded the Root Organization, he seems to have become a completely different person...

Nono was powerless to change her teacher's behavior, but she felt that as a student she needed to stop her teacher from sliding further into the abyss of error.

Although this is destined to be just a small futile effort...

"call--"

Nono took a deep breath, looked up and walked to the window, looking at the sky outside which was already darkening.

A full moon hung in the sky, and the night wind outside was blowing calmly. For most people, this was just an ordinary night among countless days and nights.

At this moment, on the other side, the barbecue restaurant in Konoha Village was bustling with people.

"cheers!"

The Konoha Genin who had just been promoted and those who had not were all cheering and raising their cups high in the air. The atmosphere was very lively and filled with oolong tea and barley juice.

"Everyone, help yourself. I'll pay for today's barbecue!"

Ito Toru said proudly: "To celebrate our mutual friend, Minato Namikaze, who successfully won the first place in this Chunin Exam!"

"Oooo!"

"Great!"

"Ito is so generous!"

Ito Toru's speech drew cheers, while Namikaze Minato scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This... is too expensive for you, Ito."

"Don't be polite to him, Namikaze!"

Yukina was eating barbecue nearby, and she glanced at Ito Toru who was toasting with his fellow ninjas and said, "In this exam, he participated in other people's odds and chose to bet on you to win, and he made a lot of money!"

"There are only a dozen of us here, we can't defeat him!"

"That's right!"

Nawaki, who was invited as a reserve younger brother, was also busy eating meat. Hearing this, he chewed the meat in his mouth and replied vaguely: "Brother Ito is so generous! I also made a lot of money with him!"

"What? So you can place a bet?"

When Hongdou heard the news, she was shocked and clenched her fists, "Damn it! If I had known, I would have placed a bet too!"

"It makes sense!"

Kushina also showed an interested look, and then she discussed quietly with Mikoto beside her: "Mikoto! I remember that your Uchiha clan seems to be very rich? Otherwise, you can lend me some money when the time comes..."

"Eh hey hey? Although I'm happy to do so, I can only use my own pocket money."

"Eh~ Really, aren't you already engaged to Fugaku? Doesn't he even give you this?"

"Master Fugaku... Ouch!"

Mikoto blushed quietly, then gently pushed Kushina: "Don't talk about these things, what's going on between you and Minato?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Minato Namikaze, who was drinking barley tea, was choked and started coughing repeatedly, his face turning red.

Fugaku, who was standing aside, seemed a little uneasy.

"..."

It was the first time for him to sit down and eat barbecue with so many of his peers.

Although I don’t hate this atmosphere, I always feel like I don’t know what to do.

After all, he had received elite education from the Uchiha clan since he was a child.

"Hahahaha! Fugaku, let's have a drink!"

Just when Fugaku was hesitating whether to leave first, he suddenly heard a warm voice. He turned around and found it was Ito Toru, so he quickly picked up the teacup in front of him with both hands and clinked glasses with him.

"You're too serious, Fugaku, relax."

Ito Toru patted his shoulder. Perhaps it was the natural sense of affinity coming from the other person, Fugaku really felt that he seemed to relax a little, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Sorry, I still can't seem to adapt..."

"You'll get used to it. This kind of occasion is just for everyone to get together and eat."

Ito Toru shrugged: "As friends from the same village, we always need more contact to understand each other, right?"

"Makes sense."

Fugaku suddenly seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, the Uchiha clan has existed in Konoha for quite some time. The Uchiha clan has existed since the founding of Konoha.

However, until now, their clan seemed to have an invisible barrier between themselves and the villagers of Konoha.

Fugaku's previous education made him feel that the existence of this invisible barrier was due to the nobility of the Uchiha clan, which made them incompatible with other ninjas of Konoha.

However, now, his deeply rooted ideas suddenly loosened slightly.

Perhaps, the root of all this is actually...

Fugaku's thoughts were soon interrupted by his colleagues who came to toast with him one after another. Under the intentional or unintentional leadership of Ito Toru, the atmosphere of this barbecue party was exceptionally harmonious.

Everybody sat together, feasting on the tender and juicy barbecue, with laughter and chattering. Everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, enjoying the satisfaction brought by the food and the happiness of sharing with their companions.

But happy times are always short-lived. After eating and drinking, the companions said goodbye and went back. Before long, only Toru Ito, Minato Namikaze, Kushina, Red Bean, and Yuina were left in the barbecue restaurant.
