"Finally out of the village! Even though it was just a simple escort mission, I feel so happy!" Naruto cheered, jumping up and down.
Xiao Tian was staring at the bespectacled old man beside him. This man Tazuna, the protector and issuer of this mission.
Escort them to the Land of Waves!
The familiar faces are here!
At this moment, Xiao Tian was only curious whether the white figure in this space-time was male or female.
He hopes it's a woman!
"Your Excellency, are these three little brats really capable?" Tazuna approached Kakashi and muttered a complaint.
"Old man! Who are you calling a little brat! We're ninjas!" Naruto, with his sharp ears, rushed over and patted Tazuna's chest, assuring him, "Even though we're just Genin, if you want to hurt you, you'll have to step over our bodies!"
"Kid, you've certainly made a bold statement, but I still don't have high hopes. You're all too young," Tazuna chuckled.
"Old man, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Tian curled his lip and looked at Tazuna, saying, "Normally, there's no danger on the way from our village to the Land of Waves, as long as you're not unlucky. Besides, we have enough Genin. But what are you hiding? Are you questioning that silver-haired, one-eyed handsome guy's abilities?"
Kakashi turned around, his left hand in his pocket and a comic book in his right, and glanced at Tazuna.
Tazuna felt a jolt of fear and quickly laughed, "Not at all, it's just that you're all too young, and it's a little scary for this old man. After all, your thighs aren't even as thick as my arms."
"Oh? Old man, let's have a strength contest then. If I'm stronger than you, I can protect you, right?" Xiao Tian wore a sunny, innocent smile, but secretly he was chuckling to himself. "You old man, if you dare to agree, I'll collect some points first."
"Little brat, it's not that I look down on you, but even though you're a ninja, I'm not afraid of you when it comes to strength," Tazuna laughed.
"Then what are we waiting for!"
" Earth Release: Arm Wrestling Arena Technique!"
As Xiao Tian quickly Hand Seals, the earth and rocks in front of him rose up, forming a square stone table and two corresponding stone benches.
Kakashi was taken aback by this move.
Tazuna was taken aback; that Earth Release ninjutsu was quite impressive!
"Little guy, I admit you're very good, so let's not compete anymore, lest we hurt your pride."
Xiao Tian leaped and landed steadily on the stone bench, beckoning to Tazuna, "Old man, come on, it'll only take a minute."
"This..." Tazuna looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi put the comic book away, his right eye gleaming with amusement, and said, "Let's have a match then."
Tazuna's face immediately darkened. He was quite old, and a bridge engineer at that; surely he wasn't as strong as this little brat?
With a large hand grasping a small hand, and Naruto's playful yet excited shout of "Start!", Tazuna unleashed his power.
Tazuna's face turned red, and he couldn't even pin Xiao Tian down. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Kid, you're really strong!"
"Old man, you've lost." As Xiao Tian finished speaking, a cracking sound was heard, Tazuna's hand was broken.
Tazuna screamed in agony, like a pig being slaughtered!
"Is this how you treat your protected people? I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
After Xiao Tian's violent bone-setting and subsequent treatment, he shrugged and laughed, "Go ahead and report me. Anyway, you lost to me in a strength contest, so it's not me who's embarrassed."
Tazuna choked on his words.
"Ninjas, I believe you can protect me. Let's hurry on our way!"
