Not long after leaving, Naruto sensed something was wrong.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the trees by the roadside.
Two people were approaching from a distance, hiding in the branches of the nearby trees.
He initially thought they were ninja returning to the village, but now it was clear they weren't.
Unlike the ninja within the village, these two had very unfamiliar chakra, and it was filled with rampant malice.
They were definitely enemies.
Standing this close, they couldn't possibly think that none of them were Sensory Ninja, right?
They were underestimating me, Naruto, way too much.
But, who were they targeting?
Naruto quickly scanned the team members.
Kakashi: Possible.
Teacher Kakashi had experienced war and carried out missions for many years; it was highly likely he had accumulated some enemies.
Tazuna: Also possible. As the client, their mission was to protect him.
But were the enemies ninja?
A mission like this would have to be at least B-rank, right?
Sakura and Sasuke: Directly ruled out.
Wait, there was also himself.
He was no different from Sasuke and Sakura.
However, his parents, whom he had never met, seemed to have many enemies, so it wouldn't be strange if some came looking for him.
Fortunately, he, Uzumaki Naruto, was already invincible!
But how did these two recognize him?
No matter, attack first and think later!
"You little thief, still dare to look? I'll dig out your eyes!"
Shouting loudly, Naruto swiftly threw six shuriken.
Swish swish swish~~~
With the enhancement of Wind Release chakra, the six shuriken were so fast they broke the sound barrier.
The two on the trees didn't react at all before being hit!
"Ah!"
With a miserable cry, the two fell from the trees, landing heavily on the ground.
Naruto's shout alerted everyone to the anomaly.
Kakashi immediately stepped forward, shielding the three youngsters and the client behind him, and turned back to ask for information.
"Naruto, what's going on?"
"Teacher Kakashi, two people were staring at us with malice, intending to attack us. Now I have strong reason to suspect these two are here for revenge against me!" Naruto nodded. Yes, that's it, it's definitely not because my hands were itching and I attacked first.
You?
For a moment, Kakashi didn't know where to begin with this complaint.
Naruto had only left the village once, where could he possibly have enemies?
Leaving the others in place, the veteran Jonin Kakashi stepped forward alone to assess the situation.
On the withered yellow fallen leaves lay two ninja wearing Konoha headbands. Judging by their headbands, they appeared to be rogue ninja.
Each of them had three large bloody holes in their bodies, blood flowing profusely. Through the wounds, their completely destroyed internal organs could be seen.
The two were barely breathing, close to death.
At this moment, the others also gathered around.
With just a glance at the gruesome wounds from afar, Sasuke's pupils constricted.
This was the first time he had seen enemy corpses, but it was only a moment of daze.
However, the severity of these wounds surprised him greatly.
Can shuriken cause this much damage? Or is there some technique I don't know about?
This challenged his understanding.
Sakura, after glancing at the bodies, tilted her head and secretly peeked at Naruto.
She felt like she had a new understanding of Naruto today.
The way Naruto attacked just now was kind of cool!
Compared to the two, Tazuna was the most shocked.
'This little blonde brat, is he really that strong? Two legendary ninja just like that?'
He gave Naruto a deep look.
He decided to stand a little closer to this blonde brat from now on. No, closer to this ninja.
Finally, after analyzing the situation, Kakashi had a guess, but he didn't voice it.
He warned, "Naruto, next time you encounter an enemy, unless it's planned, don't just attack directly like that."
After a moment of thought, fearing he might dampen Naruto's enthusiasm, Kakashi added.
"At least not so recklessly until we've figured out the intel."
"I understand, Teacher Kakashi. I just didn't expect them to be so weak; they didn't even dodge my shuriken. Next time, I'll definitely consult your opinion first."
Naruto indicated he understood.
Ninja, too, had their own world.
And in that world, it was all about relationships and social graces.
It wasn't wartime now, so you'd banter a bit, exchange pleasantries, and then decide whether to fight.
Excellent, another lesson learned.
"Alright, leave this to the village. We'll continue on our way."
Led by Kakashi, the team set off again.
With a client in tow, the five of them traveled very slowly. It took several days just to leave the Land of Fire.
The journey was relatively peaceful, with no further encounters with assassins.
Finally, the group arrived at the Land of Waves.
As soon as they entered the country, Naruto felt extremely uncomfortable.
"It's so watery, humid, and often foggy. I bet you can't see the sun more than a few times a month, and clothes never dry. I really don't like this country at all."
As soon as he stepped onto solid ground, Naruto blurted out his opinion without reservation.
"Naruto..."
Sakura tugged at his sleeve, hinting that he should consider Tazuna's feelings.
Glancing at Tazuna, Naruto asked directly, "Sometimes Mr. Tazuna feels the same way in his heart, doesn't he?"
"Haha."
Needing their help, Tazuna, who had been worried about being discovered all along, forced a laugh and agreed.
"You get used to it when you grow up in a place like this, but after visiting other countries, I really envy you. Your Land of Fire has such a good environment."
"What's next? Where do we go?"
Sasuke bypassed their idle chatter and walked ahead.
He only cared about whether enemies would appear next.
"That direction."
Tazuna pointed in a direction and emphasized again.
"From now on, you have to get me home safely!"
"Yes, yes."
Kakashi replied with a hint of exasperation.
The old man had emphasized this several times along the way, making Kakashi even more certain of his previous guess, but he hadn't pierced the veil yet.
Without absolute proof, he decided to keep it a secret for now.
As for vigilance, with Naruto around, it was more than enough.
Somewhere in the forest, hidden behind layers of leaves, Momochi Zabuza watched the approaching group.
When his gaze fell upon a familiar person, he instantly understood.
"So that's how it is. Kakashi, Konoha's Copy Ninja. No wonder the Demon Brothers were defeated by him."
"Hmm?"
Zabuza saw a genin with yellow hair, who seemed to have just graduated, pointing towards his hiding spot.
At the same time, the blonde brat was turning to say something to the others.
'A sensory ninja? It seems I've been discovered.'
Suddenly, he grinned ferociously. "In that case, let's say hello!"
He drew the large sword strapped to his back and swung it forcefully. The heavy and sharp Kubikiribōchō spun through the air!
Whoosh, whoosh~~~
With its weight, speed, and sharpness, anyone grazed by it would be cut in half at the very least.
"Get down!"
Kakashi shouted a warning.
He turned his head, only to see Naruto at the very front of the team still standing upright.
"Naruto!"
He was about to warn him again, but it was already too late. The Kubikiribōchō had already flown before his eyes.
Naruto ignored Kakashi's warning.
He was invincible now, why should he dodge?
This kind of thing?
A minor situation!
Facing the spinning Kubikiribōchō that kicked up a whirlwind, Naruto seized the moment, turned, and delivered a flying kick.
Bang~
His foot landed precisely on the hilt of the sword.
Then, a miraculous thing happened.
The Kubikiribōchō, carrying immense kinetic energy and spinning with a whoosh, inexplicably came to a halt.
Thud~
It landed on the ground.
It was like an extremely long aerial pass, where, upon landing, the king of the sport gently nudged it with his toe, and it was smoothly tamed, stopping steadily without bouncing.
Kakashi, who had been observing, and Zabuza, who was preparing to jump to his intended position, were both dumbfounded.
"Is this door-sized greatsword even a weapon?"
Seeing the greatsword land in front of him, Naruto curiously bent down to pick it up, instantly feeling that ninja weapons were truly diverse.
As soon as he touched the weapon, a prompt appeared.
[Detected a Kekkei Genkai-level weapon - Kubikiribōchō, do you wish to recycle it?]
Huh?
Naruto was surprised.
This weapon could be recycled?
[Recycled 'Kubikiribōchō', you have obtained 100,000 Ryo, Chakra +10000, Skill Point +1]
He really hadn't expected this.
Even after transmigrating to another world, someone was still gifting him things.
"Thanks for the greatsword, big bro!"
