Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

"What did you say? Luo Sha, that kid, actually agreed?"

Not long after Rasa made the decision to go to Konoha to attend the Three Kage Conference, Ohnoki also learned the news. His eyes widened and his face turned red.

"That boy is so spineless? He follows people like a pug when they call him!"

He also received the message, but did not respond quickly. Instead, he was thinking about what Konoha's motive was for doing this.

As an old-school conspiracy theorist, Oonoki absolutely did not believe the reasons given by Konoha.

He felt that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this!

At the beginning he decided to wait and see.

At the same time, he believed that Luo Sha also thought so, so he was waiting for the other side's attitude.

The result was unexpected...

"You actually agreed! This is going to be difficult."

Ohnoki, who had completely recovered from his injuries, sat at his desk, frowning and thinking, like a worried tumbler.

"If we don't go, it would be boring, but if we go, we'd feel like we're being inferior."

Ōnoki was muttering to himself, feeling very distressed, when at that moment the round red earth walked in.

"Lord Tsuchikage, you called me here..."

There was still a hint of confusion on his silly face.

"Red Earth, you're just in time!"

Oonoki's eyes lit up and he told him what happened.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Tsuchikage-sama, I think we should go too."

After pondering for a while, Hongtu gave his suggestion.

"Oh? Why?" Ohnoki knew that although Hongtu looked honest, he was actually very meticulous.

"Because Konoha is so powerful now, this thing can definitely be accomplished. If we don't go, it won't have much impact on them. On the contrary, we may become the next target after Kirigakure and Kumogakure."

Hongtu's ideas are very clear, and they also spread out a bit.

Unlike Ohnoki, who has a somewhat old-fashioned and conservative mindset, he is now in a period of active thinking.

"Besides, I always have a bad feeling that the Hidden Cloud Village hates us the most, and we are too close to the Land of Lightning."

"Compared to us, Konoha's location is actually a safe area. Even they have sensed the crisis. We definitely can't just sit there and do nothing."

"What's more, if we can form an alliance with them this time, it will be extremely beneficial to us. After all, we have just experienced a war. Peaceful development is what we need and is in our interests."

“…You are absolutely right.”

"Let's go! Let's go and have a look!"

Ohnoki finally made up his mind.

"a wise decision!"

Hongdi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly saw Oonoki pointing a finger at him.

"You come with me."

"what?"

The relaxed look on Hongtu's face suddenly froze.

No way???!

……

Konoha Village.

"Both sides have given their responses to come."

Looking at the information in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

What he is most worried about now is that no one is willing to come.

After all, given the style of these two people, it is not impossible for them to do such a thing.

"Step 1 is complete, now it's time to prepare for step 2."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath.

"Go call Rope Tree over."

"Yes!"

The Anbu waiting in front disappeared in an instant.

In the turbulent ninja world, undercurrents surge silently.

"The storm is coming."

Ito Toru suddenly said.

At this moment, he and Yuina were on the Hokage Rock, looking at the Konoha Village below.

The outer walls of Konoha Village are being demolished and then expanded.

As the village expanded, space became insufficient.

"Don't worry, I'm here no matter what."

Yukina was standing beside him, her eyes firm as she spoke.

"Ah."

Ito Toru gently stroked her hair.

The hair smells like daisies.

Just like the wind blowing across the fields, it makes people feel happy and peaceful.

It didn't take long to reach the Hokage Building.

"The Kazekage and Tsuchikage are coming soon, and I want you to ensure their protection."

"Can it be done?"

"It should be no problem."

Standing opposite is the Rope Tree which now looks much more mature.

Because he entered a period of rapid growth, his appearance became more angular than before, and because he had been dealing with various matters of the root for a long time, he now had an aura of convincing reliability.

"The ninjas of the Root are basically able to act on their own. With the addition of Shisui's Konoha Guard, it is possible to complete basic surveillance and vigilance tasks."

"That's good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded.

At this moment, he felt relieved.

Especially when looking at the rope tree.

It always reminds him of his old friend.

The young man standing here at this moment looks a bit like the first Hokage.

It looks ordinary, but it has a thriving vitality.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. Make sure you arrange it before they arrive."

"no problem."

So Nawaki walked out of the Hokage building.

"Ugh……"

As soon as he came out, he began to sigh.

Although he acted confident in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, his usual daily work already made him feel a little breathless. This mission undoubtedly added another layer of pressure to his work!

"This won't work. I have to find some help."

Shengshu started to think.

At the beginning, he was honest and completed the tasks left by Toru Ito with a great sense of honor.

After all, there are not many people like him who start managing a large organization at such a young age.

However, with the increase of age and work experience.

No matter how slow Rope Tree was, he finally reacted.

Brother Ito is pushing all the work onto me!

Then go and have fun!

However, what troubled him most was that he couldn't find a suitable replacement for the time being.

Logically speaking, the most suitable ones are of course Sai and Nobu. They both grew up in the Root and do not need any additional training.

But the only problem is that they are too young.

"what can we do about it……"

Sheng Shu muttered and walked out.

"What do you mean?"

"what?"

He looked up and saw Shisui was right beside him, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Stop the water!"

"What's wrong with you, Rope Tree?"

"You've come at the right time. Help me think of a solution!"

"What can we do? Is this an internal matter of the Root?"

Shisui was somewhat alert.

He is too busy with his own affairs.

After all, Uchiha Setsuna is missing, Uchiha Yuuna is unwilling to take responsibility, and Uchiha Fugaku is pretending to be dead and not moving.

With the three Uchiha heroes all giving up, the heavy responsibility of the Konoha Guard finally fell on the weak shoulders of Uchiha Shisui.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the root that was originally used by Danzo to squeeze out the Konoha Guard is now controlled by his good friend Nawaki, and the two of them support each other, and it is slowly running normally.

Moreover, Nawaki was very stupid about most things, so Shisui had to come to the Root to help confirm after finishing the work of the Konoha Guard.

These heavy tasks left him with psychological trauma.

So when Nawaki mentioned helping to find a solution, Shisui became alert.

"Don't worry, it's not that difficult."

Seeing Shisui's alert look, Nawaki understood what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "It's just that the Kazekage and the Tsuchikage are coming over soon, and I need to arrange some security work, but I can't find the right person."

"Two Kage-level experts are coming?"

Shisui's expression turned serious.

He knew what it meant.

Something big must be happening!

"Yes, we don't have enough manpower now..."

Sheng Shu's face turned bitter.

“So I was thinking, what should I do?”

"Don't worry too much about this."

Shisui stroked his chin and said, "I heard that Ito-nii and Yuina-nii have returned to the village now, and they seem to have contact with the exiled ninja leaders of Kirigakure and Raikage. Maybe we can go find them."

"Yeah!"

Sheng Shu slapped his head and suddenly realized it!

"Why didn't I think of that?!"

"Then I'll go find them quickly! Where are they?"

"..."

Shisui covered his head helplessly: "Come with me, I'm just about to go find it."

At this moment, on the platform above Konoha Hokage Rock.

Toru Ito and Yuina had finished their conversation and were walking down the path back.
