Sakura Haruno, Alone and Disheveled in the Wind

Back at Tazuna's house, Makoto Ito saw Kakashi still training Naruto and Sasuke, and Sakura and the other two climbing trees and Water Walking...

When Naruto saw that Makoto Ito had returned, he immediately ran over shouting!

"Makoto! Where did you go?! Did you sneak out to eat something delicious?! You're such a bad brother! You went out to eat something delicious without me!!!"

Makoto Ito smiled when he saw Naruto's expression...

"I didn't go out for a nice meal, I went out to pick up money, and I just found a lot of money!"

"Pshaw! Who would believe that?! How could someone possibly find money on the street?!"

"I'm not lying to you! I really did go out and pick up money just now. You can ask Zabuza and Haku if you don't believe me."

Naruto, hearing Makoto Ito's words, looked at Zabuza and Haku with a mixture of belief and doubt...

"Hey! You shirtless uncle and this handsome young man, did you really go out to pick up money just now?"

Zabuza nodded when he heard Naruto's words.

"Yes, we did go out with the boss to pick up money just now!"

Upon hearing Zabuza's words, Naruto looked on incredulously!

"Cheng! Tell me quickly, how much money did you just find?! Is it enough to buy a barbecue?!"

"A barbecue? That's too small! That's too narrow-minded, Naruto! Let me tell you, I just found a billion ryo!!!"

"How many?!!!!!!!"

After Naruto's roar, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura, who were not far away, all turned their attention to the group, looking at them with some confusion.

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Makoto Ito had no choice but to explain what had just happened. Everyone was astonished by what Makoto Ito said!

However, even Naruto Uzumaki felt no pity for Gato, that despicable businessman, and instead thought Makoto Ito had done a brilliant job!

Kakashi stared with his dead fish eyes and said incredulously.

"Ten billion ryo? You're practically the richest man in Konoha now, aren't you?! That's outrageous!!!"

"This can't be real! This is way too much money!"

"Ten billion ryo?! That's comparable to the entire inheritance of our Uchiha Clan, including all the buildings and land on the clan's territory..."

"Great!!! We've got enough barbecue for ten lifetimes!!! Cheng! When we get back to the village, you have to treat me to a feast for three days and three nights!!!"

Thus, Kakashi's instruction on tree climbing and Water Walking was interrupted because of Makoto Ito. However, the others had all learned quite well. Sakura Haruno was the smartest, mastering it almost immediately after the lesson, followed closely by Sasuke. Only Naruto was truly a headache; he still hadn't figured out how tree climbing actually worked...

Kakashi decided to give them a break so they could get some rest.

And so, Naruto Sasuke, and Makoto Ito, the three little devils, were together again. Makoto Ito told Zabuza and Haku to Zabuza and flirt, and Kakashi went back inside to rest for a while. After all, he was still a bit weak and needed to get more rest. So, only Sakura Haruno was left there, standing alone in the wind, bewildered...

Am I not in Team 7?

Why do the three of them look like they're from the same class?

Why do I feel like an outsider?

Damn it! The person I fawned over is ignoring me, and the person who fawned over me is ignoring me too! Makoto Ito! You bastard!!!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Makoto Ito, Sasuke, and Naruto gathered together...

"Didn't you two say before that you also wanted to become stronger? I've come up with some ideas!"

Upon hearing Makoto Ito's words, Sasuke and Naruto's eyes instantly lit up!

"Makoto! Tell me quickly! How can I make your Naruto stronger?"

"Shut up, you idiot, you Dead Last! Listen to what Cheng has to say first!!!"

Makoto Ito glanced at Sasuke with a half-smile...

"Sasuke, let me show you some pain first!"

Sasuke didn't quite understand what Makoto Ito was saying...

"What did you say?"

Makoto Ito shook his head and remained silent...

At this very moment, Sasuke had already fallen into Makoto Ito's Genjutsu Space! And he himself was completely unaware of it!!!

Meanwhile, Sasuke, trapped in the Genjutsu Space ...

Within the illusion, everyone had perfectly completed their mission and was on their way back to Konoha. Just a moment ago, they were all chatting and laughing, but suddenly, the next second, Kakashi's head flew off!

Everyone was stunned by what they saw, and even Sasuke was in disbelief as he watched!

"Kakashi-sensei!!!!"

The next moment, a hooded figure suddenly appeared behind Sakura Haruno, a Kunai, and Sakura Haruno was instantly decapitated!

"Sakura!!!!"

Sasuke panicked. The mission had been perfectly completed, so why did the problem arise on the way back?! What was going on?!

"Makoto! Naruto! Watch out!!!!"

Zabuza and Haku, both members of the group, were also beheaded by this mysterious person...

Only the three little ones remained, huddled together tightly!

Makoto Ito frowned deeply!

"Who are you?! You who dare not show your true face?! Who are you?! Why are you attacking us?!"

The mysterious figure then removed his hood; this person was none other than Itachi Uchiha!

Makoto Ito in the Genjutsu Space didn't recognize this person...

"Who are you?!"

Naruto was completely panicked at this moment!

The moment Sasuke saw this person, his eyes widened in shock!

"You bastard!!! It was you!!!! I'll kill you!!!!"
