Heading to the Country of Swamps

"Why insist on traveling at dusk? Doesn't this mean we'll have to travel late at night again?"

"The time difference has completely messed things up."

Naruto retorted.

He grew increasingly dissatisfied with the Shion before him.

Since Kanami appeared, Uchiha Sasuke has become much quieter. Even when he felt annoyed by Naruto's words, he would only frown and mostly choose to endure it.

Kakashi felt much relieved after seeing this.

Fortunately, the two of them finally stopped arguing and fighting.

"Kanami, is our mission complete just by following her to the Country of Swamps?"

Hinata Hyuga not far behind the group, looked at Kanami beside her and asked a question.

"Yes, we'll probably encounter danger if we walk any further."

Kanami responded softly.

Hinata Hyuga confusion, "Is there danger coming soon? I haven't sensed anything?"

"There's still some time to go. There's probably no danger for the next hour, but I don't know exactly when the danger will come."

"However..." Kanami paused, then stopped speaking.

"But what?"

"Nothing."

Kanami smiled. "I was just teasing you. I made you ask me that question on purpose."

Hinata: "Hmph, Kanami really is..."

Kanami was lost in thought.

Since the Miko's prophecy was 100% accurate, it's highly likely that she dreamt of her bodyguard, Tani, dying the day after she rested.

That's when the danger will truly arrive...

If those four people are killed, Tani will most likely survive, right?

This should also be considered a change to the prophecy's outcome. If this outcome can be broken, it proves that the final fate of this world can be changed, and Kaguya Otsutsuki might not be resurrected.

Kanami didn't tell Hinata that the danger actually occurred the next day, because by doing so, Hinata wouldn't always be suspicious of him.

They wondered why he knew everything.

It's good to make mistakes occasionally.

Since there was no danger on the first night, time passed quickly.

After nightfall, Naruto's expectation of traveling through the night did not materialize.

Tani blocked Kakashi and the others' path. "Everyone, the Lady Miko is tired. It's getting late, so let's camp here and rest. We'll set off again tomorrow."

"The Lady Miko is tired~~"

Naruto used the Yin-Yang Path in a rather annoyed manner.

Although he himself didn't want to leave.

Kakashi sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead and shaking his head.

Fortunately, Tani has a mild personality and was not angry because of Naruto's behavior, nor did she tell Shion.

Soon, Shion and the others fell asleep.

In the end, only Kanami and Kakashi remained awake.

Kakashi wasn't sleeping because, as the main person in charge of this escort mission, it was impossible for him to choose to sleep at this time to prevent the mission from failing.

Moreover, nighttime is often the most dangerous time.

Once attacked, most people don't have time to react.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

Kakashi looked at Kanami.

"I'm used to it," Kanami said with a smile, looking at Hinata her head on his lap.

Kakashi smiled and said, "I really envy you guys."

Kanami: "What do you envy about us?"

I envy your pure and innocent love.

"If you like her, you can go find one. Don't worry, girls won't stop liking you just because you watch 'Paradise Publishing '."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression instantly became somewhat unnatural.

"So, you two really did see us earlier..."

"I took it back quite quickly."

Kanami smiled but didn't say anything.

Even without seeing his actions, he already knew that the repressed Kakashi loved watching "Paradise Publishing" every Tenten.

Kakashi looked at Kanami and said, "Actually, you can sleep too. It'll be fine with me here."

Kanami had no doubt about Kakashi's strength.

Let alone the four people under Yomi's command, even if Yomi himself came, he would have to fight Kakashi to Muu Muu Kai.

"No need, I'm not sleepy."

However, with Hinata by his side, he still preferred the feeling of being in control of everything.

Hinata didn't need protection at all, but he still wanted to do it.

Besides the two of them, there is one more person who is not asleep.

That's Uchiha Sasuke.

He lay there, silently listening to Kakashi and Kanami's conversation.

Kakashi's attitude towards Kanami and towards him is completely different, which is easy to sense.

He has been keeping quiet these past few days, observing Kanami.

Why is Kakashi's attitude towards Kanami so... equal?

He couldn't think of any good words for a moment.

In his view, he was no different from Naruto Uzumaki, and both were like children in Kakashi's eyes. Kanami clearly the same age as him, but Kakashi treated him like an equal.

What exactly enabled Kanami to achieve this level of success?

Uchiha Sasuke's inner thoughts.

He also wanted to feel that way, that's what true recognition is, not just simply gaining power.

In terms of pure strength, he is already very strong, but he still can't beat his brother Itachi Uchiha.

But this wasn't his problem at all; it was because Itachi Uchiha was too strong.

Even though Itachi Uchiha was Kage-level fighter, it would still be very difficult for Sasuke at this stage to defeat him.

Time passed quickly, minute by minute.

early morning.

The Shion was the first to awaken.

She sat up abruptly, her face pale.

"You're awake, Lady Miko?"

Upon seeing this, Kakashi quickly greeted him politely.

Shion glanced at Kakashi, but didn't say anything. Instead, she sat quietly to the side, lost in thought.

She saw in her dream that the Tani would die.

"Tani, you don't need to accompany me for the rest of the journey. You can go back now."

After finding the Tani, Shion said this.

Tani was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood. He smiled and said, "It's alright, Lady Miko. I'm not afraid of death."

Shion was filled with resentment, but outwardly remained cold and Killer Bee. "Why, why do both of you insist on protecting me? Then you can just wait for death to come."

When Tani saw Shion turn and leave, he quickly followed. As a guard, his duty was to protect the Miko.

Like the duties of these Ninja, Shion needed to be safely transported to the Country of Swamps.

"Ah--ha--"

Naruto yawned and woke up.

"Kakashi-sensei, shouldn't we set off now?"

"Okay, let's go."

Kakashi saw that Naruto had woken up, so he prepared to set off with Shion.

As for the others, they had already woken up; only Naruto Uzumaki could sleep so much.

"Kanami, Kakashi-sensei! Something seems to be happening around here!"

Hinata Hyuga Byakugan noticed with her Byakugan that several figures were rapidly approaching them!

Kanami frowned slightly.

Shouldn't it be at night? Has the timeline changed, or am I remembering wrong?
