As he spoke, he stepped forward.
He bent down, picked Kakashi up, and led everyone towards his house.
At the same time.
In the woods on the other side.
Wearing a mask, Zabuza placed Zabuza, who was on his back, on the ground in a secluded clearing and quickly took out his first-aid kit.
He quickly grabbed a needle and thread and began stitching up the gruesome knife wound on the other person's chest.
Perhaps the pain was too great, for even Zabuza, who had been feigning death, regained consciousness and said coldly, "That brat is truly terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Bai paused for a moment, then smiled and said...
"What? You're already awake?"
Under the other person's gaze, Zabuza, lying on the ground, Zabuza and laboriously pulled out the two steel needles from his neck.
Upon seeing this, Bai quickly stopped him.
"It seems you'll regain your mobility soon, but don't move for now. The knife wound on your chest is severe; it could be fatal if not treated properly."
As he spoke, he threaded the needle and continued stitching the wound.
Feeling the pain in his chest, Zabuza looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "Take off that deceitful mask. We're abandoning this mission."
Bai had no objections and removed her mask, revealing a highly feminine face behind it.
"That boy is very strong. Giving up was a wise move. He's lucky to have escaped with his life this time."
But upon hearing these words, Zabuza offered a defense.
"You may not understand yet, but that brat's name will definitely resound throughout the entire ninja world in the future. We don't need to make enemies with such a troublesome guy for money."
The wound had already been stitched up while the two were talking, but some blood was still seeping out.
But I'm no longer in the mood to pay attention to that.
Without exchanging many words, the two chose to leave the Land of Waves.
After all, money is valuable, but credit is even more precious; if it comes to the sake of life, both can be abandoned!
Meanwhile, Naruto and the others finally arrived at Tazuna's house and settled Kakashi in.
Naruto then began to think about how to complete this mission. After all, even if Zabuza, the person behind the scenes was still there, so it was not over yet.
Therefore, the best way is...
Just get rid of Gato, and that'll solve everything!
With this thought in mind, Naruto looked at Sasuke and the others and suddenly said, "I'm going out for a bit. I'll leave Kakashi- sensei in your care for now."
Upon hearing this, Sakura quickly asked with concern, "Naruto, it's too dangerous for you to leave at a time like this!"
Naruto simply replied calmly.
"I just realized my shortcomings through this battle and plan to train nearby. Don't worry."
"We're too far apart."
Sasuke didn't delve too deeply into it, but instead gave a direct reminder without turning his head.
Naruto, however, had already realized that Sasuke had discovered his intentions, since Sasuke would definitely come along if it were training.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile brightly.
"Don't worry, I might be back a little late, so don't bother looking for me."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and was about to leave.
But before leaving, I looked back and saw the boy wearing a straw hat leaning against the window not far away, looking at me with his clear eyes.
Seeing this, Naruto simply smiled and waved his hand, then pushed off with his feet and instantly disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye.
He left a Shadow Clone in the nearby woods to begin cultivating, while his main body used Transformation Technique to become a passing merchant.
They began searching the surrounding area for information about Gato.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Asuramaru within him couldn't help but exclaim in emotion.
"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening! I found out where you live this morning, and I'll go over there and kill you tonight. You're truly worthy of being someone I personally trained!"
However, Naruto also asked himself this question along the way.
"Asuramaru, could you please help me pinpoint the enemy's location?"
Faced with this request, Asuramaru had no intention of refusing, but instead directly teased him.
"Trying to assassinate Gato? That's not like you at all, but whatever, pinpointing the enemy's location is no problem for me."
"Thank you, Asuramaru."
At this point, Naruto had already found out Gato's specific information.
The sun had just set.
His next task was to take advantage of the darkness and kill Gato, thus completing his mission.
Based on the intelligence gathered.
They arrived at the Land of Waves, at Gato's residence, under the cover of night.
It was an oval structure that seemed to be perched on a tree and enveloping it, looking like a giant spinning top suspended above the ground by steel cables.
There were also many samurai patrolling and guarding the area.
Chapter 247 The Land of Waves Arc (End)
However, these samurai were not the guys from the Land of Iron, but a group of ordinary people who couldn't even use chakra and had only simply trained in swordsmanship.
But without a doubt, these guys are all wicked bullies who commit crimes!
Seeing this, Naruto, who was hiding on a tree branch not far away, immediately used the Transformation Technique to transform himself into Zabuza's appearance.
He then thought to himself.
"I'm counting on you from now on, Asuramaru."
As they spoke, they concealed themselves and began to infiltrate.
However, Asuramaru began to complain impatiently.
"These are just ordinary people. Even that so-called Gato only has two genin-level guys by his side. Is it really necessary to be so careful?"
"It's always better to be careful."
After Naruto answered in his mind, he had already sneaked into the building, thanks to Asuramaru's precise navigation.
They easily arrived near Gato's room.
Outside his room, two samurai stood guard.
Naruto made no attempt to hide anything from the two of them, and in a flash, he retrieved the broken blade from his personal storage space.
He gripped one corner tightly and decapitated the two warriors.
On his deathbed.
Neither of them could clearly see the other's figure.
After dealing with the two, Naruto immediately kicked open the door.
One of them, a short, middle-aged man with a mustache and a gray hat, heard the noise outside the door.
He turned on the light and put on his sunglasses.
He looked nervously at the person who had arrived.
However, upon seeing that the person who arrived was Zabuza, his expression immediately froze, and he quickly smiled and said, "It seems you've also returned Zabuza."
As he spoke, he got off the bed and continued.
"But it's okay, if it doesn't work this time, there's always next time..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Disguised Zabuza Naruto, he swung his broken blade and beheaded Zabuza with ease, as if he were crushing an ant.
Upon seeing this, Asuramaru within him asked, "The target is dead. What are your plans now?"
"Those people outside have committed countless evils as well, and I will not let them get away with it either," Naruto said coldly, flicking the blood off his blade.
Having said that, he began a massacre from the inside out, slaughtering all the wicked warriors.
It then vanished into the night.
But just as it was leaving, a blood-soaked arm suddenly rose from among the corpses on the ground.
A figure sat up from the corpse, revealing a gruesome penetrating wound on the left side of his chest; fortunately, his heart was naturally on the right side.
That's why he didn't die immediately. He struggled to his feet, his expression somewhat fearful.
"Zabuza actually betrayed us! Luckily, my heart is on the right side, or I'd be dead here too..."
He uttered a remark and then glanced around.
He quickly covered his wound and hurried away.
And this was a certification that Naruto deliberately left behind, since Zabuza did all of this, what does it have to do with me, Naruto Uzumaki!
Even the sword he uses is Zabuza's Executioner's Blade!
Having done all this, Naruto finally left and returned to Tazuna's house, while the Shadow Clone.
They also noticed the main body and quickly made an excuse to leave.
They seamlessly transitioned into a relationship with Naruto.
He turned around and went back to the mansion. He pushed open the door and entered the room, where he saw Kakashi had already woken up. He quickly smiled and said...
"Kakashi- sensei, how are you feeling now? Is there anything bothering you?"
Kakashi, however, keenly detected a faint scent of blood on Naruto, his brow furrowing slightly before quickly relaxing.
"Let's go outside for some fresh air, I'm feeling a bit stuffy."
As they spoke, the two went to the corridor outside the mansion again, and Kakashi took out the book "Make-Out Paradise" and started reading it.
Naruto looked up at the sky, gazing at the dark night, lost in thought.
In the time that follows.
Every day was the same routine of training and working alongside Tazuna to build the bridge across the sea, with no obstacles in sight.
That is, until people learned that Gato had died at home.
Upon seeing this, both Sasuke and Kakashi turned their attention to Naruto, and they both knew who had done it.
But no one dares to point it out.
Days passed by like this, until a month later, the bridge was finally completed.
Naruto and the others then bid farewell to everyone and embarked on their journey back to Konoha.
As for Tazuna, he smiled and made a suggestion while watching the others' retreating figures.
"It's time to name the bridge. I have a great name in mind, how about Naruto Bridge?"
Just as they gave us hope, we hope that one day the name of this bridge will resound throughout the world!
In the blink of an eye.
Naruto and the others had already returned to the village and begun their long-awaited D-Class mission, while Kakashi arrived at the Hokage Tower alone.
He went into the office and told Hiruzen Sarutobi everything he had seen and heard along the way.
