PS: I have to go to the countryside these two days, so I only have two or three chapters saved. I will update it for the next few days. I will resume updating when Xiao Ye comes back from the weekend. Thank you for your support!
Still feeling very tired.
It's not just because of the insomnia last night.
Especially because of the hellish experience last night.
Not physically.
It's more of a mental fatigue.
A night of tossing and turning.
Naruto didn't know what time he fell asleep yesterday. It seemed to be three o'clock, or it seemed to be four or five o'clock in the early morning. Anyway, before falling asleep, all that came to Naruto's mind were scenes of those people who were killed by himself. Even after falling asleep, Naruto obviously had a nightmare, which caused an extremely extreme feeling at the moment he just woke up. There was an unreal feeling, and there seemed to be a faint expression of fear in the pupils. Of course, on the surface, Naruto seemed to have returned to normal. With Kakashi's life experience and observation ability, it can naturally be seen, but Kakashi would not point it out at this time. After all, this is the road that Naruto needs to walk.
"It seems that you can rest well. The weather today is very good. Wait a minute, let's go to a nearby town to have breakfast and then go back to the village to hand in the task. This time it is a C-level task. You can get more rewards."
Kakashi jumped down from the tree trunk, looked at Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto who had also just woken up and said with a smile.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."
When Sasuke and Sakura woke up, the former still looked cold and indifferent, as if yesterday's experience had not affected him at all, while Sakura Haruno became slightly timid. At this moment, even Sakura Haruno claimed to be his favorite Sasuke Uchiha.
Sakura looked at Sasuke with a cowardly look.
Everything that happened yesterday.
For Sakura, it is really like a nightmare.
My team has only been established for less than ten days.
In the past few days.
Sakura has been immersed in the happiness of being in the same team as Sasuke and Naruto, and successfully passing Kakashi-sensei's assessment to officially become a Ninja, and being able to perform tasks together. What he didn't expect was that he would encounter such a thing in just the past few days.
Ninja, want to kill someone.
This awareness.
There will still be Sakura Haruno.
Or should I say you don't even have this awareness, how dare you say you become Ninja?
However, there are also many different situations in killing people.
A scene like yesterday is undoubtedly far beyond the psychological limit that Sakura Haruno can bear now.
Or so to speak.
Especially when he saw that Sasuke and Naruto, whom he thought would stand with him, finally chose to accept the task and actually put it into practice, Sakura's psychological defense was almost collapsed. It can be said that it did not completely collapse. It can be said that Sakura's psychological quality is pretty good.
However, this is still a scenario that Sakura Haruno cannot accept at this stage.
Especially when Sakura Haruno recalled the appearance of Sasuke and Naruto covered in blood last night, his whole body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
Seeing this scene, Kakashi and Naruto sighed secretly in their hearts.
Not to mention Kakashi.
Naruto actually doesn't have much dislike for Sakura.
Even if he read the original work in his previous life, Naruto's affection for Sakura was at best not cold, but not to the point of disgust.
And this time it's even more so.
You can't really say that Sakura's thoughts and opinions are wrong.
After all, in this world, it is difficult for you to make a simple judgment about right or wrong in this kind of thing.
I can only say that Sakura Haruno is too simple.
That's all.
And based on such a judgment.
On the contrary, Naruto feels that Sakura Haruno is a bit pitiful.
Because of the naive and simple people.
Surviving in this world is a mistake.
Of course, such words are too exaggerated.
However, there is also a certain truth to it.
"Maybe Sakura is really not suitable for Ninja..."
Almost at the same moment.
Similar thoughts appeared in the depths of Naruto and Kakashi's minds.
Just as the four people simply washed up and packed their luggage, and were about to leave for the nearest town, not far away, a very sharp eagle cry suddenly came. Immediately afterwards, a brown eagle appeared in the sky above Kakashi, Naruto and the others. After hovering for a while, it flew towards a deeper position.
The next moment.
Kakashi's footsteps paused slightly.
"Ah? I suddenly remembered that there is one more thing that needs to be done, so I won't go back to the village for the time being. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura. The three of you should go back to the village first. This is the mission scroll, Naruto. I'll leave the rest to you. I'll return to the village after I finish handling the matter."
Kakashi turned his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, still with a lazy expression, and said this to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura in a casual tone, and gently threw the scroll.
"Oh? Oh!"
"Pa"
He was subconsciously caught by Naruto in front of him and looked at Kakashi in a daze.
Before Naruto and the other three people could say anything.
"Eh? Kakashi-sensei?"
"That's it for now!"
Kakashi just waved his hand, and then, with a vertical movement, he disappeared directly in front of Naruto and the others.
The remaining three people, including the always paralyzed Sasuke, were looking at the direction Kakashi was leaving with their brows slightly furrowed at this moment.
Logically speaking.
With the special identity of Naruto.
Kakashi should not leave Naruto alone outside the village. (There is not much difference between Sasuke and Sakura, for now.)
Just considering the information I just received.
As well as the current strength shown by Naruto and others, and after all, this place is not very far away from Konoha, and it is still within the territory of Land of Fire. Plus what he has to do next, the risk factor is even higher. After a comprehensive comparison, Kakashi naturally chooses to let Naruto and others return to the village first.
This was at that moment just now.
Considerations made by Kakashi.
However, this is obviously just wishful thinking of Kakashi.
Except for the initial confusion.
After leaving with Kakashi.
Naruto, who gradually came back to his senses, thought of the eagle he just saw.
"Is it possible that Ninja, who has Konoha nearby, is in danger? Maybe it's related to Zabuza?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, and an idea couldn't help but appear in the depths of his mind.
This is the territory of Land of Fire. That's right.
But it is also the area closest to Land of Waves.
It is indeed mentioned in the original book that the plot of Land of Waves happened not long after the graduation of Naruto. I missed it, but that doesn't mean that no other team will receive this mission?
Although there is no basis for such speculation.
But deep in Naruto's heart there is such a voice reminding Naruto.
There is definitely another team that received the Land of Waves plot mission in the original book.
Moreover, it must still be the Genin team led by Jonin.
In this case, there will be a result where we need to call for help, but we can temporarily withstand the attack of Zabuza and have the ability to send a signal for help!
