Departure for the Land of Waves
And so, the day after receiving their mission, Kakashi's Team 7, along with Makoto Ito Tazuna, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, gathered at the entrance of Konoha.
Naruto was walking at the very front, was extremely excited!
"Finally, we can leave the village to do a quest!!! Sasuke! We can finally leave the village for a quest! And this time Makoto is with us too! This is amazing!!!"
Sasuke smiled when he heard Naruto's words, but didn't say anything more. Clearly, judging from Sasuke's smile, he was also happy to be able to do a higher-level mission!
Sakura was somewhat speechless.
What are you getting so excited about?!
Naruto scratched his head sheepishly...
"After all, I've never left the village before! This is the first time I've ever left the village since I was a child! Isn't it the same for you, Sakura? Sasuke, Sasuke, and I are all leaving the village for the first time!"
Sakura put her hands behind her back and glanced shyly at Sasuke twice...
"This is my first time leaving the village, but I'm really happy to be on a mission with Sasuke!"
Sakura spoke while letting out a lewd laugh... Sasuke... Hehehe... Sasuke... Hehehe...
Makoto Ito didn't react much, but he saw Kakashi and greeted Kakashi...
"Kakashi-sensei..."
Kakashi nodded upon hearing Makoto Ito's words...
Makoto Ito always felt that his current seniority was strange. When he went on missions with these classes, whether he encountered Kakashi, Asuma Sarutobi, or Kurenai Yuhi, he had to call them "teacher" along with his classmates, and then he would call the Third Hokage" teacher." Logically speaking, Kakashi should call him "Master"...
Makoto Ito scratched his head and walked up to Kakashi ...
"Kakashi-sensei, I heard your teacher is the Fourth Hokage?"
Kakashi was a little confused, wondering what Makoto Ito meant by asking him that, but he nodded nonetheless.
"That's right, my teacher is indeed the Fourth Hokage!"
As Kakashi spoke, he glanced at Naruto almost inadvertently...
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Makoto Ito stretched out his hand, fiddling with his fingers as he spoke to Kakashi ...
"Kakashi-sensei, look! Your teacher is the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage's teacher was Jiraiya, Jiraiya's teacher was the Third Hokage, and my teacher is the Third Hokage, so that means I and your grandmaster are of the same generation..."
When Kakashi heard Makoto Ito say these things, he already had a bad feeling.
A dead fish eye stared intently at Makoto Ito!
Meanwhile, Makoto Ito continued talking...
"So, Kakashi-sensei, from now on, let's each stick to our own way of addressing each other! I'll call you Kakashi-sensei, and you can call me Master. What do you think?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes when he heard Makoto Ito's words...
"Shut up, you wretched brat! Don't think that just because you're strong now and I might not be able to beat you, you can take advantage of me!"
After all, they've spent quite a bit of time together, and Kakashi has come to understand Makoto Ito's strength. He might not be a match for Makoto Ito now!
However, Kakashi was unaware that Makoto Ito's strength had far surpassed his own, because Makoto Ito had never revealed his full power to anyone!
What I'm showing now is just that my Chakra reserves are exceptionally large, and coupled with my mastery of various elemental Ninjutsu, especially Fire Release Ninjutsu, I'm practically omnipotent!
Furthermore, he also demonstrated several forbidden techniques!
[Hashirama Senju: It seems that what Makoto Ito said is indeed correct! According to seniority, Kakashi really should call him Grandmaster. Sakumo, you're inexplicably a generation below Makoto Ito...]
[Tobirama Senju: It's true, even though everyone in our group is considered his elder, Sakumo inexplicably becomes someone a generation younger than him...]
[Hatake Sakumo: Uh... I might as well go home and shovel manure!]
[Madara Uchiha:???? What are you doing shoveling manure again? Have you become addicted to it?! I remember you used to want your son to come home and shovel manure?]
[Hatake Sakumo: Let's dig together!!!]
[Hizashi Hyuga: Good grief! It's just a generation younger, is it really that serious?!]
[Minato Namikaze: Sakumo! My pain is greater than yours!!!]
[Kushina Uzumaki: Shut up! Minato!!! Adamantine Chains!!!]
Meanwhile, the outside world at this moment
Tazuna frowned, pointed at Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura Haruno, and Makoto Ito— the three little brats—and said to Kakashi,
"Hey, is it really okay to send these brats?! I paid real money for this! Why does Konoha keep sending these little devils?! Especially this shortest one! Doesn't he look like he's not very bright?"
Naruto frowned upon hearing Tazuna's words!
"You're not smart, your whole family is not smart! You short, drunk, disgusting old man!"
Sasuke frowned upon hearing Tazuna's words...
After all, he felt a little uncomfortable about what Tazuna had just said.
Makoto Ito already had a bad impression of Tazuna, and knowing what happened in the original story, he drew the Sword of the Thunder God with a whoosh and instantly appeared behind Tazuna using a Body Flicker Technique! He then placed the Sword of the Thunder God directly against Tazuna's neck!
"I think you might not be aware of this, but we are ninjas! In the world of ninjas, age is not a standard for measuring a person's strength!"
And I advise you to show more respect to ninjas. Not all ninjas are as easy to talk to as we Konoha are!
If you had just said that to any other ninja, you'd probably be dead by now! This is my advice to you! You'd better remember it!!!
