Kakashi was quite helpless along the way, but also very curious about Xiao Tian. According to the information, Xiao Tian had come into contact with the ninja way and condensed Chakra some time before entering the Ninja Academy. At the same time, it seemed that he had obtained the Eight Gates Released Formation training method from Guy. Now, in nearly half a year, he had actually cultivated to the point of opening the Five Gates, which can only be described as genius.
As a genius who became a Jonin at the age of 12, Kakashi glanced at Xiao Tian, who would be ten years old after his birthday, and was somewhat looking forward to seeing what level the child would reach at the age of 12.
The Land of Waves is a coastal country. Although it relies on the sea for its livelihood, it is an impoverished nation. Commercial development is suppressed, and maritime and river transport are frequently attacked by pirates, making it difficult to develop.
As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first," Tazuna understands this perfectly!
Tazuna and others led a group of people to build a bridge over many years, aiming to realize their dream of a strong nation and a better life for all the people of the Land of Waves. However, this threatened the interests of Gato, the biggest villain in the Land of Waves.
The bridge-building project has been hampered by numerous villains and even ninjas, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Many of the original core members of the bridge-building team quit under threats and monetary temptations, and now only Tazuna and a few others are still persisting.
On the way, Tazuna's voice trembled as he recounted the situation facing the Land of Waves, and apologized for having previously issued a C-rank mission and concealed the truth.
"Those thugs are despicable! This Gato should be killed on the spot!" Naruto's sense of justice surged.
"Hey grandpa, why don't you hire ninjas to take care of that scoundrel Gato?" Naruto asked Tazuna, puzzled.
Tazuna couldn't help but sigh.
"I think it's because no ninja wants to offend that Demon Zabuza. After all, as Kakashi-sensei said, he's a Jonin, albeit a trash one," Xiao Tian muttered.
Tazuna looked at Xiao Tian with awe and nodded, saying, "We've hired ninjas before. At first, it was fine, but after Gato hired that Demon Zabuza, no ninja dared to accept our services anymore. All the ninjas we hired before died at his hands."
"You are our last hope, little Land of Waves! Please, I beg you, you must help our Land of Waves!" Tazuna said, then burst into tears and knelt down.
Xiao Tian Tazuna's courage in confronting evil merchants and knowing that there was a Jonin Zabuza, yet still fearlessly defending his beliefs: the bridge must be built!
"We'll only escort you to the Land of Waves," Kakashi said coldly, clearly dissatisfied with the unexpected turn of events in the C-rank mission. Although Zabuza by Xiao Tian, it was ultimately because Zabuza Xiao Tian. After his injuries healed, it was hard to say what powerful ninjas would emerge.
" Kakashi-sensei, after you've escorted Tazuna to his destination, you can go first. I'll go and secretly kill Gato." Xiao Tian didn't want to give up his current points, and besides, he hadn't even met Sister Bai or Brother Bai yet.
As an immortal successor of the Heavenly Dao, I have the right to be willful!
"No!" Kakashi gave Xiao Tian a gentle pat on the head, his expression solemn. "Don't be so arrogant."
"I'll stay. Naruto, you and Kakashi-sensei go." Sasuke's tone was resolute. He knew he couldn't continue being a lazy bum. He had to become stronger. If he couldn't even surpass Xiao Tian now, how could he possibly kill Uchiha Itachi and avenge his parents and clan?
