Land of Waves Mission

Naruto, Nawaki, Sasuke, and the others walked behind Tazuna. It was the first time any of them had left the village, and their first mission. They were all very cautious, their eyes constantly scanning Tazuna.

Uchiha Kun, walking in front, noticed the students behind him looking anxious and immediately offered words of comfort:

"None of you need to be afraid. I have the Mangekyō Sharingan. Whenever I encounter an enemy, I can detect them from several kilometers away. So all three of you, relax. This time, just walk."

Tazuna was also quite upset along the way. Seeing Naruto made him feel terrible, and he thought to himself:

"Is this blond guy an idiot? He saw a noise in the forest and started yelling. He almost gave me a heart attack!"

Naruto was extremely nervous because it was his first mission, and S-rank Mission, he was terrified that he would kill his employer.

So the whole way, they just stared at each other, and if they saw even the slightest movement in the forest, they would shout, "There's murderous intent over there! Everyone protect Mr. Tazuna!"

Then Sasuke and Nawaki would both unleash their fighting techniques and stand beside their employer, ready to protect them.

Then, once everyone looks closely, they'll find that there's just a flock of birds in the forest, all of which have just returned to their nests and have absolutely nothing to do with any murderous intent."

But whenever Tazuna heard Naruto's call, he felt a tightness in his chest, fearing that these Konoha Ninja would take him back to Konoha and then have the next batch of Konoha Ninja take over.

Therefore, the most nervous person along the way should be Tazuna. Now, upon hearing Uchiha Kun's words, he nodded frantically and said with great gratitude:

"Thank you, Uchiha Kun. You are the kindest Konoha Ninja I have ever met. When I return to the Land of Waves, I will definitely write several thank-you letters to Konoha. I want to properly thank you for curing my heart disease."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the swaying Naruto, his heart sinking again, and said with utter disdain:

"Big Idiot Naruto, you're giving your employer a heart attack! You're a complete idiot!"

Upon hearing Sasuke's insult, Naruto's face turned bright red. He glared fiercely at Sasuke and shouted angrily:

"I was just trying to be helpful by reminding you that there might be killing intent over there. Is it wrong to warn everyone? We're on S-rank Mission. Don't you understand the dangers of S-rank Mission? We all have to be careful. You incredibly stupid Uchiha Sasuke, I spit on you!"

Seeing his nephew being scolded, Nawaki immediately took sides, shouting, "My nephew is right! It's his first time on S-rank Mission, he should be careful. Doesn't the difficulty level mean we need to be careful? Uchiha Sasuke, you're getting more and more arrogant!"

Naruto was delighted to hear Nawaki's words and said arrogantly, "My uncle is right. I'm just reminding you to be careful. Is there a problem? No problem at all!"

Sasuke's face darkened when he saw Naruto and Nawaki were in cahoots. He angrily shouted, "You two big idiots, you're actually forming a gang! This is a bunch of idiots! Even if I were to fight two of you, I could easily defeat you two idiots!"

Naruto glared at Sasuke, his eyes blazing with fury, and shouted angrily, "I could beat you all by myself, you arrogant Uchiha Sasuke!"

Nawaki also looked very angry and shouted, "Nephew, teach him a lesson. Don't worry, your uncle is here. This stupid Uchiha Sasuke won't be able to cause any trouble."

Seeing the three of them start arguing, Uchiha Kun immediately shouted, "Shut up, all of you! If you continue to be so ungrateful, I'll send you back to the Ninja Academy!"

Tazuna was also startled by the sudden appearance of the three people. He thought to himself, "These Konoha Genin are all idiots, fighting amongst themselves. I'd better hurry back to the Land of Waves! Staying with these people will shorten my lifespan by at least twenty years."

Under Uchiha Kun's reprimand, the students of Team 7 set off again. The five of them moved quickly, and in just half a day, they arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

Looking at the Land of Waves he had longed for, Tazuna's face was filled with excitement, and he shouted out:

"I'm finally back! I'm finally back! This time, I'm going to rescue you, Land of Waves, and restore your vitality!"

Naruto suddenly sensed something, looked down ahead, and saw a small puddle of water on the ground. He said with a serious expression:

"There seems to be a murderous aura beneath this puddle; there might be something lurking inside."

Sasuke, hearing Naruto's words, looked disdainful and coldly said, "None of that matters. Shut your mouth and just obediently follow Teacher Kun."

Uchiha Kun walked straight across the puddle without even looking down.

Just then, two iron chains suddenly emerged from the ground, with two sharp steel claws hanging from the heads of the large chains, which embedded themselves directly into Uchiha Kun's body.

With a thud, Uchiha Kun was split in two, falling straight to the ground like a corpse.

Naruto was horrified when he saw Uchiha Kun killed so brutally. He covered his mouth and cried out in panic, "Oh no! Kun-kun-sensei has been killed, and he didn't even awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan! What are we going to do?"

Nawaki's eyes widened in astonishment as he exclaimed, "How can this be? Teacher Kun Kun has been training with me in the Lightning Armor! How could he be killed by chains? What's the point of training the Lightning Armor like this? Go back to the Uchiha Clan for a meeting!"

Sasuke immediately activated his Sharingan, his crimson eyes adorned with three black Tomoe. He stared intently at the water puddle and shouted, "There are two people hiding under this puddle. Let's take them both down!"

These two men are the infamous Demon Brothers, Zabuza's subordinates. They've ambushed us here to kill Tazuna, who's building the bridge.

Seeing their team leader, a Jonin, taken down, the two immediately dispelled their Hidden Mist Jutsu and leaped out of the water puddle. Both brandishing their ninja tools, they prepared to kill Tazuna.

Nawaki looked at the Demon Brothers and charged straight at them. He immediately formed hand Hand Seals and shouted, "Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Sumo Technique!"

Sasuke was even faster, throwing both Shuriken out with a single movement.

"Flying Thunder God Technique, First Stage,"

With two sharp swishes, the Demon Brothers were reduced to two corpses, their heads split open, blood pooling on the ground.
