Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Toru Ito was very satisfied with the result.

In this way, you can get out of it and don't have to get involved in those troublesome things.

Moreover, with the abilities of these three Kage-level warriors, plus the combat power of the Akatsuki organization, although they cannot match Uchiha Madara, at least they will not be at a disadvantage in the short term.

Especially now the real opponent is actually Black Zetsu who is manipulating behind the scenes.

Just force him out...

While Toru Ito was still thinking, there was a knock on the door, disrupting his thoughts.

dong dong dong.

"Ito, are you in there?"

Darui's voice came from outside.

"..."

Nawaki and Shisui looked at Ito Toru together.

Not good!

Toru Ito's heart skipped a beat as he realized something, and then quickly made a gesture to Nawaki and Shisui to keep quiet. As for Yuina, there was no need to explain much. The smile on her face seemed to be frozen at this moment and disappeared in an instant.

"Ito, say something."

This time it was Mei Terumi's voice that came.

"I know you're in there. We're here specifically to find you. The Hokage-sama will be here soon, too. You can't escape if you don't make a sound."

"…What do you want from me?"

When Ito Toru heard this, he immediately knew that he could not escape, so he replied with a bitter face: "My mission is now completed and I am resting."

"We are here to tell you something great, Ito. Now that the Three Ninja Villages' coalition has been formed, we would like to invite you to be the commander-in-chief!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Toru Ito was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.

isn't it?

Are you serious?

After hearing this, Yuina's face suddenly turned dark and she stared at Ito Toru with a bad look.

Didn’t you tell me that after this matter is over, there will be nothing else?

Now what's going on?

"Ito, why are you silent?"

"Are you trying to refuse? What are you doing? Answer us. Are you fainting from joy?"

"Wake up! This coalition cannot survive without you!"

The waves of earnest calls coming from outside made Ito Toru groan in his heart. This was not a good thing at all, it was clearly a big trouble!

He originally wanted to hide behind the scenes, but now he wants to push for himself to be the head coach?!

Is this possible?

Wouldn't that be a direct break with Black Zetsu?

He didn't want to face the Ten-Tails head on.

But at the moment, he certainly couldn't refuse too obviously, so Ito Toru pretended to be calm and said: "Why did you choose me as the head coach? There are many ninjas who are stronger than me. Don't flatter me just because you have a good relationship with me!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Darui outside the door smiled and said, "Ito, don't be so modest. Your strategies in many previous battles are obvious to everyone, and you are fair. It is most appropriate for you to lead the coalition forces."

"We all believe in you. If the ninja alliance doesn't have you in it, it can only be called the ninja army and it won't be able to unite at all."

"..."

I really appreciate your kindness.

The corner of Ito Toru's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at the people in the room who had different expressions.

There was admiration in Nawaki's eyes, respect in Shisui's eyes, and Yukina's murderous look silently explained her attitude.

"..." Ito Toru said stiffly, "This is too sudden. Can you give me some time to think about it?"

"After all, I just got back..."

"Can't wait, Ito!"

Terumi Mei's voice came: "The situation is tense now. There is no time to hesitate. Kirigakure and Kumogakure are being harmed one after another. What are you still hesitating about? I know you are not the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. Are you worried about something?"

"You guys are really..."

Toru Ito scratched his head helplessly, probably knowing that he couldn't escape.

So he turned to Nawaki, Shisui, and Yuina and whispered, "What do you think?"

"I think it's okay."

Rope Tree shrugged and took the lead in expressing his opinion: "After all, this matter concerns the entire ninja world. I think no one else can do this except you, Ito."

"Or, Ito-san, do you have any concerns?"

Shisui thought a lot. Although he knew Toru Ito later than Nawaki, he was the one who could understand Toru Ito better.

This incident is something that even this man finds difficult.

Perhaps, the situation is even more serious than what is currently shown!

"There are definitely some concerns..."

Ito Toru sighed in his heart: "However, compared with those concerns, the current situation makes me more embarrassed."

"If you don't want to, then don't go."

Yukina finally spoke.

Her voice was firm and she looked at Ito Toru gently but firmly: If you don't want to go, no one can force you. "

"I……"

Ito Toru's mind was shaken so much that he almost agreed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

At this moment, a hearty laugh was heard.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you all waiting outside? Ito, it's not a good habit to let guests wait inside."

With a series of hearty laughs, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked over.

He had just discussed some situations with Rasa and Ōnoki and successfully constructed a prototype.

And because Konoha was the strongest, they were very sensible and gave up the position of commander.

Unlike Darui and Mei Terumi's suggestions, Ōnoki and Rosa currently support another person.

Namikaze Minato!

Sarutobi Hiruzen hurried over, also intending to explain the current situation to others.

"Let Minato Namikaze be the commander?"

Darui and Mei Terumi looked at each other.

“It seems like a good choice.”

"Yeah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his stubble and smiled so hard that crow's feet appeared.

"But I think that Ito Toru is an indispensable member of the ninja alliance."

Mei Terumi suddenly spoke again.

"Well……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile suddenly stopped.

At this time, the door opened.

Ito Toru walked out slowly with a tired face.

"Don't say anything, I agree..."

He looked like he was being forced into doing something he was not supposed to do.

But I was actually relieved.

As long as you are not the commander-in-chief.

The light of Minato Namikaze was bright enough to conceal his appearance well.

"That's good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How about this, Ito? You will be in charge of commanding a mobile team. When the war starts, you will lead this team to provide support everywhere. How do you think?"

"Then I want to be the vice-captain."

Yuina also followed Ito Toru and walked out.

"Hokage-sama, do you agree?"

"Of course you can. In this case, everyone from the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village should have no questions, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

"I have no objection." Darui nodded.

"I have no objection either." Mei Terumi first glanced at Yuina, then at Toru Ito, before slowly nodding.

Thus, the coalition of Konoha, Sand Village, and Iwagakure was formed.

And the first target is Kirigakure!

Although the Water Kingdom is made up of a large island and a large number of small archipelagos, it is a relatively easy terrain compared to the Thunder Kingdom with its towering mountains.

This time, the ninja alliance did not make a big fuss.

Instead, they infiltrated in multiple small teams.

This is also what Minato Namikaze is good at.

Each team leader has a specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.

The first time Minato Namikaze served as commander-in-chief, he was in the middle of the main force.

He was surrounded by mainly medical ninjas and perception ninjas.

Responsible for helping him sense some places that he has no time to sense, and for promptly healing his body that has been teleported back.

The mobile team led by Toru Ito rushed all the way in the early stages and directly arrived at the outskirts of the Hidden Mist Village.

"The Hidden Mist Village is just ahead!"

Ito Toru stopped.

Following behind him, besides Yuina and Shisui, there were also Mei Terumi and Ao.

Qing was originally wandering around, gathering some scattered ninja swordsmen.

When the Allied Ninja Forces arrived, he caused some minor conflicts at first, but was taken down by Minato in an instant.

If Mei Terumi hadn't noticed it in time, the Byakugan would probably have been reclaimed.

But for now, we can only put aside Qing's issue temporarily and focus on unity.

"It's only been a short time, how come it has become like this..."

Looking at the familiar village gate at this moment, Mei Terumi, Ao, and some ninja swordsmen felt a little unbelievable.

The once thick iron gate is now covered with black and red rust.

It's like it's been abandoned for a long time.

There are pale tree roots spreading out from the wall.

In the thick fog that could not be dispersed, the shape of a big tree could be vaguely seen.
