"Land of Waves is just a small island country, and there is no Ninja Village of its own in the country."
Finally, a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village and officially set off. Not long after leaving Konoha Village, while walking in the lush forest, Kakashi noticed the uneasiness hidden in Sakura's expression, so he spoke up and explained the basic situation of the mission, trying to ease her nervousness.
"Precisely because Land of Waves does not have the power of endurance, when they encounter trouble and need to be entrusted with tasks, they can only go to other countries, such as Konoha Village who came to our Land of Fire."
Kakashi continued to speak in his usual, slightly lazy tone, "Therefore, the enemies we may encounter here are at most ordinary bandits, wandering warriors and the like. That's why this mission is designated as C level. Remember, C-rank mission's theoretical premise is that we will not encounter the enemy's tolerant battles."
Just when Kakashi comforted Sakura in a relaxed tone, Tazuna, who was standing next to him, looked away with a guilty look in his eyes.
Naruto listened to Kakashi's explanation while feeling the surrounding environment. The weather today is indeed excellent, the air is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is a peaceful and peaceful scene.
However, he knew that this tranquility would soon be broken. According to the development of the "plot", after seeing the uneasy puddle on the road, the storm will begin.
Satsuki followed the team silently, her eyes mostly falling on the back of Naruto in front of her. She really wanted to take a few steps quickly, walk to Naruto, and chat with him casually like she did before.
But when she noticed that the rambling couple, who had been holding the unorthodox Icha Icha Paradise in their hands while reading Kakashi-sensei in fascination, actually put the book away at this moment, and instead scanned the dense forests on both sides of the road from time to time, maintaining a vigilant posture, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, and gave up the idea of going forward.
She knew in her heart that as a tolerant, as long as there was any potential danger, maintaining the necessary vigilance and concentration were the most basic requirements.
Therefore, she could only force her desire to get close to Naruto and talk to him back to the bottom of her heart.
It's just that... even she herself didn't realize that these longings and dependences that had been suppressed by rape were quietly accumulating and fermenting in her heart. One day in the future, when these emotions can no longer be suppressed and completely explode, what awaits Naruto will probably not be a gentle and watery scene, but a more turbulent and persistent torrent.
It can be said that Naruto didn't realize it at all. When he "strategized" unknowingly, he seemed to have used too much force.
Shortly after the team crossed a small bridge over a gurgling stream, a puddle appeared in an inconspicuous low-lying area on the roadside.
Kakashi's eyes casually glanced at the puddle, but he didn't say much and still maintained his unhurried pace.
It seems...Demon Brothers is about to appear.
Naruto was confused. He clearly knows that the strength of these two guys is only slightly stronger than the previous Mizuki. With the current strength of himself and Satsuki, there is no need to worry at all.
Despite this, he was still secretly vigilant and prepared to deal with it at any time. At any time, the arrogance of underestimating the enemy is the most foolish manifestation.
Just a few meters after the team Earth Style: Earth Flow passed the puddle as if nothing happened...
The surface of the small puddle suddenly bulges! Two figures suddenly jumped out, waving chains connected with sharp claw hooks in their hands, and went straight to the back of the most threatening Jonin in the team - Kakashi!
"Behind!"
Hearing the sudden sound of water breaking and the fierce wind behind him, Naruto turned around instantly! A few moments later, Satsuki also turned around suddenly!
The moment before the screaming chains were about to wrap around Kakashi's body!
"Earth Release·Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"
The speed of Naruto and Hand Seals is astonishingly fast, and it was completed in just a few seconds of turning around! I saw one of the attackers. The solid ground beneath his feet softened and collapsed instantly, turning into a raging and rotating mudslide!
The ninja screamed in surprise and was suddenly unable to stand on his feet. He panicked and fell into the ground that suddenly turned into a swamp. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. In the blink of an eye, he was firmly trapped and unable to move.
And the situation of the other attacker is not good! The chain he swung was severely deflected by a Shuriken that struck accurately!
Just when he hurriedly adjusted his posture and tried to avoid several more Shurikens that were fired one after another, he suddenly felt his body tighten!
The next moment, a huge pulling force came. He was completely unable to resist and was pulled off the ground by the force. He slammed into a thick tree nearby and was tied to the trunk of the tree!
Only then did he discover to his horror that those seemingly ordinary Shuriken were actually wrapped with several Chakra Threads that were difficult to detect with the naked eye! The other end of the thread was held in the hands of the black-haired girl with cold eyes.
Kakashi was relieved and had already prepared the Body Replacement Technique stamp in his hand. He nodded approvingly as he watched how the two attackers, Naruto and Satsuki, cooperated tacitly in an instant and subdued the two sneak attackers in one fell swoop.
"Very good, Naruto, Satsuki. Faced with sudden attacks, they made accurate judgments, responded quickly, responded appropriately, and cooperated very well. They performed very well."
He finally turned his eyes to the other side, looking at Sakura who was still holding Kunai tightly and blocking the client Tazuna even though his face was a little pale, and added.
"And Sakura, your first reaction was to protect the client, and your position and judgment were also very correct."
After praising the students for their clean response, Kakashi turned his attention to the two subdued attackers. He looked carefully at their attire.
"This costume... They are Mist Village and Chunin, known as 'Demon Brothers' and Ninja. They are known for doing whatever it takes to complete their mission." Kakashi pointed out the identity and danger of the attacker.
"What a... scary young man..."
Tazuna on the side witnessed the confrontation just now and couldn't help but let out a sigh, with fear and a trace of unnoticeable guilt.
However, Kakashi did not answer his question, but turned his attention to the client. "Okay, Mr. Tazuna, now, I need to determine who the targets of these two people are."
Kakashi's eyes became sharp, "If their target is indeed you, then I'm sorry... This has gone far beyond the scope of a C-level escort mission. This means that you concealed the key information of the mission from us Konoha, putting us in an unexpected and dangerous situation."
Kakashi's gaze swept across his three subordinates, and finally settled on Tazuna's pale face, and gave his choice, "According to the Ninja manual According to the regulations, when the client deliberately misrepresents the task level, we Team 7 have the right to choose to terminate the task immediately and return Konoha. "What is your opinion?"
Tazuna suddenly broke out in a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead. He did not expect that his concealment of the mission level would be revealed so quickly in such a direct way. He didn't know how to defend himself.
On the side, Sakura wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She looked at the subdued Kirigakure ninja on the ground, and her heart was filled with fear.
Entering into a life-and-death battle with the real Ninja... Isn't it too early for us? She desperately wanted to suggest returning to the village first. When the words came to her lips, she looked at Naruto and Satsuki beside her. She swallowed again and decided to listen to her teammates' opinions first.
However, when she looked at Satsuki, she suddenly froze.
Satsuki...Is there something wrong?
I saw Satsuki's original pitch-black eyes, which had turned into an unknown scarlet at some point, and three pitch-black eyes Tomoe were slowly rotating in them.
She was staring at Tazuna with an extremely terrifying look, as if she were looking at a dead person.
And being stared at by this pair of Sharingan and Tazuna, I felt even more frightened than when I was attacked by chains just now! A bone-chilling murderous aura that was as solid as a substance once again enveloped him, making him almost unable to breathe!
"Mr. Tazuna..." Satsuki said without any warmth in his voice, "You seem to be not surprised that Ninja will attack you on the way."
Facing this cold and cold question, Tazuna's throat seemed to be blocked. He couldn't say anything and could only sweat in fear.
I see... Satsuki understood the outline of the matter instantly. This guy... deliberately lied about the mission level!
An uncontrollable anger instantly swept through Satsuki's heart.
It's unforgivable... In order to save the mission reward, you dare to drag Naruto... into such a dangerous situation where you know in advance that Ninja will fight to the death!
If they had launched a sneak attack just now, it wasn't this kind of stupid guy... If their target was Naruto from the beginning...
If Naruto is hurt by your lies... even...
Just thinking of these possibilities, the murderous aura around Satsuki became more solid and terrifying, and there seemed to be black flames burning in the scarlet Sharingan.
