Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Will not."

In the face of Yukina's worries, Ito Toru just smiled.

"Why? I don't understand!"

Yukina was getting a little anxious: "Their potential is not simple, they may become very powerful ninjas in the future!"

"Will they be a match for Minato Namikaze?"

Ito Toru's words silenced Yukina.

If you put it that way, it seems like... I'm being a little too worried?

Not to mention Minato Namikaze, Toru Ito's sealing technique alone has now reached the point where he can confront the Mizukage head-on without being at a disadvantage.

Why would they worry about two growing geniuses?

"…I've been thinking too much." Yuina looked a little conflicted.

"It doesn't matter."

Ito Toru reached out and held her in his arms.

The hot breath brushed against Yuina's small earlobe, making her cheeks slightly red.

"What are you doing?"

She pushed Ito Toru gently but didn't push him away.

I don’t know if it was because I didn’t use enough strength or if it was due to some other reason.

"In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to worry."

"Besides, they are good kids. If they can really grow up to be the backbone of Kirigakure, they may be able to bring a different future to the current ninja world."

"Okay...I believe you."

Yuina nodded, and Ito Toru wanted to let go, but she hugged him tightly instead.

"They are training now." Yuina lowered her voice, her eyes like a pool of autumn water, looking at Ito Toru.

"what……"

Before Toru Ito could say anything, his mouth was blocked.

Wow – Wow –

The waves still hit the beach again and again.

Zabuza and Haku just sat cross-legged on the beach.

There is a scorching sun overhead.

The sea breeze blows towards you.

Bai's expression was calm, and he exuded a cold aura all over his body, but this cold aura felt refreshing in the hot weather.

This made Zabuza, who was standing next to him, unconsciously move closer to him, moving again and again.

Finally, it stayed in a suitable position.

"call……"

Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

He still felt nothing.

Apart from the chakra that remains the same, there is no sense of any improvement in strength.

However, Bai's growth is unquestionable.

Following Toru Ito's teachings exactly, he defeated himself in just three days.

This made him admit defeat.

but……

"Zabuza, you seem anxious?"

Bai Ping's voice came from the side. He finished his chakra training and turned to look at Zabuza who was frowning.

"Yes."

Zabuza also admitted it directly.

Shiro beat him, so he had to give respect anyway.

"You practice your chakra, and I'll come see what's wrong, okay?" Bai asked.

He had some hesitation and wavering.

After all, Bai didn't think that he was someone who could have an equal conversation with Zabuza.

The reason why he took the initiative to talk was mainly because he saw that Zabuza's emotions were too unstable.

That kind of messy chakra even affected his practice.

"it is good."

Zabuza nodded calmly.

So Bai stretched out his hand and placed it on his back. A stream of cool chakra flowed through the cracks in the rocks like a mountain spring, which calmed Zabuza down instantly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt like he was in another world.

The sound of the waves, the colors of the sun, and the feeling of the sea breeze as if a pair of gentle hands were caressing your cheeks.

It seems that the world is no longer gray.

Zabuza's expression gradually calmed down, and the murderous intent that had been burning in his heart like a raging fire also slowly subsided.

He felt it.

The chakra within oneself.

It was like the thick white fog I had seen when I was a child, quietly shrouding the place.

Reassuring.

"call--"

His breathing also calmed down.

Entered into a mysterious realm.

……

And the other side.

"You mean, Zabuza lost to Haku?"

After receiving this news, Mei Terumi raised her head in surprise.

"That cowardly child actually defeated Zabuza?"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure." Qing nodded solemnly.

"Although some tactics and tricks were used, victory is victory. Now Zabuza is following Haku and learning with Ito Toru."

"..." Mei Terumi put the documents in her hand aside and rubbed her eyebrows.

"Is this guy so capable?"

"Zabuza is not a weakling."

"I also learned something else than these."

"what's up?"

"That child named Bai is a descendant of the Snow Clan."

"The bloodline limit of Ice Release? Has it awakened?"

"Awakened. I don't know what method Ito Toru used to awaken the power of Ice Escape through training."

"Bloodline limit..." A thoughtful look appeared on Terumi Mei's face.

She herself possesses the power of two bloodline limits, so she is very aware of the power of this.

"If that's the case, then Zabuza's defeat seems understandable."

"The news has not been leaked yet. I have ordered it to be kept secret. If they knew that such a genius had appeared out of nowhere, the Snow Clan would definitely find someone to take him back."

"The things that will happen at that time will be much more troublesome than what happened to Kado..." Speaking of this, a look of worry appeared on Qing's face.

"Has there been any result on the Cardo issue?"

"He confessed everything, but we couldn't touch any of the people he confessed."

"why?"

"They are either daimyo or nobles, and most of them have formed an alliance. If we touch any of them, we will encounter endless troubles."

"…These old stubborn people are so annoying."

Mei Terumi's face darkened.

"What about Yagura? What did he say?"

"Mizukage-sama has not yet given his opinion, but judging from his usual style, he should be on the same side as us."

“…I understand. Let’s just leave it alone for now.”

Mei Terumi just felt a headache.

"The most important thing now is to change the village's system, otherwise nothing can be achieved."

"You're right!"

The door was suddenly opened.

Yagura strode in.

"Mizukage-sama!"

Mei Terumi and Ao bowed at the same time.

"You're welcome. You two can come in as well."

At Yagura's signal, two figures slowly walked into the meeting room from outside.

"they are?"

Seeing the two figures wearing black robes with red clouds, a look of vigilance emerged on Terumi Mei's face.

"The helpers I found have always had a good reputation in the ninja world, and have done a lot of earth-shattering things recently."

A brief introduction to Yagura.

"They are from that Akatsuki organization!"
