Sasuke fired Railgun, and before the Demon Brothers in the water could even make their appearance, they were blasted into pieces on the left and right.
"Ah!"
Tazuna screamed in terror at the sight of the flying bits of flesh and ran to the side to vomit.
Hinata's expression was equally grim; after all, it was the first time she had ever witnessed such a bloody scene, and she was understandably overwhelmed.
Looking at Naruto, his expression remained calm, as if he were used to such things.
Sasuke was extremely excited.
"People"→"p"e"o"p""l"e"
Kakashi took in everyone's reactions and was particularly puzzled by the Sanskrit phrase Sasuke had uttered. What language was it? He had never heard it before.
" Sasuke, well done. But what did you mean by what you just said? Is it a new Ninjutsu?"
"What he meant was that they had been utterly crushed by the enemy."
Kakashi's lips twitched. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, something felt off.
Sasuke showed no nervousness whatsoever after his first encounter with an enemy; he was only happy about his increased strength.
"How's it going, Naruto? Has my Railgun improved again?"
"Well done! You broke them into pieces right away. Nature is praising you as a master decomposition expert."
Kakashi didn't want to pay attention to these two crazy kids, so he turned around to comfort Hinata, whose face was still pale.
"Damn it, Hinata."
"Um."
Hinata nodded with difficulty. What she had just witnessed was truly shocking. She knew the cruelty of the ninja world and had often heard her elders in the clan describe the gruesome aftermath of enemy deaths. But what she saw today was quite different from their descriptions.
Why are there so many pieces scattered around?
"Alright, Hinata, cheer up. This is the cruel world of ninjas. If you feel you can't accept it, we can abandon the mission now and escort you back to the village."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he stood there waiting for Hinata's reply.
Hinata glanced at Kakashi, then at Sasuke, and finally at Naruto, who was smiling at her.
But Hinata did not back down.
"I can do it."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Kakashi didn't say anything more, but he was already overjoyed to have such a subordinate.
"Well, then you should get some rest, Hinata. There are more important things to do next."
He walked straight to Tazuna's side. Although he was puzzled as to why Hiruzen Sarutobi had classified this mission as a C-rank mission, the client who had commissioned this mission had indeed only offered a C-rank reward.
"Mr. Tazuna, aren't you going to explain this?"
"Explain what?"
Seeing that Tazuna was still pretending to be stupid even at this point, Kakashi didn't waste any words.
"Ahem, Sasuke, teach him a lesson."
"Receive."
After hearing Kakashi's words, Sasuke stopped arguing with Naruto and went straight to Tazuna.
With a wicked smile, he slowly approached Tazuna.
Looking at Tazuna now, his face was still pale. Just moments ago, this seemingly harmless little guy had been blasted to pieces by the enemy. He could still see him not far away, and he might even still be warm from the blast.
Tazuna was already scared. He was swallowing hard, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably. The scene Sasuke just shown him was too shocking.
He thought to himself that he absolutely could not disobey this god of death in front of him; he was simply too terrifying.
Then they saw Sasuke pull out a stack of colored papers from his ninja tool pouch.
Tell me, what color is this?
"Huh? This?"
Why are you so slow to respond?
Tazuna was a little confused, his brain not quite processing what was happening.
Sasuke didn't hold back and unleashed a powerful punch, completely stunning Tazuna and making his eyes clear in that instant.
Sasuke then pulled out another green piece of paper.
Tell me, what color is this?
This time, Tazuna didn't dare to hesitate any longer. Covering his swollen right cheek, he cautiously began to speak:
"Green... green?"
With a loud slap, he received another slap.
"I asked you to answer a question, and you're asking me one in return?"
Tazuna felt even more aggrieved. What had he encountered? Was it some kind of gangster gang? Why were they being so aggressive?
Sasuke didn't give him a chance to rest, and pulled out another black piece of paper. This time, before Sasuke could speak, Tazuna spoke first.
"Black, black, this paper is black."
Sasuke looked displeased and slapped him again.
Did I give you a chance to answer?
What color is this paper?
Tazuna felt like crying; this kid was a monster.
"White!"
With a crisp, loud snap...
Why are you yelling so loudly?
Tazuna couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears. This brat was really bullying him; he was even more brutal than Gato.
"Waaaah, you Konoha people are bullying us so much! I'm going to report you! I want to be expelled from the Party!"
Seeing his arrogance, Sasuke made a move to hit him again, but Kakashi stopped him, after all, Sasuke was just too ruthless.
" Tazuna, are you still not going to tell the truth? How can there be ninjas on a C-rank mission? Shouldn't you explain?"
Tazuna covered his swollen and red face, not expecting that his little scheme had been discovered, so he simply decided to give up and be reckless.
"I'm out of money. I can only afford a C-rank mission. So, are you going to abandon this mission? It's alright, it won't matter if you abandon the mission. It's just that my poor grandson and daughter will suffer. They will definitely resent Konoha and the four of you for the rest of their lives."
Naruto, who was hearing this, was truly amazed. What had he just heard? Was this old man threatening them?
Sure enough, Sasuke immediately bristled.
"Damn it, you old codger, what are you talking about? Are you threatening me? Do you believe I'll burn you to ashes right now, scatter your ashes everywhere, and then go to the Land of Waves to wipe you out completely?"
As Sasuke spoke, the Mitsudomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes, instantly filling him with a sense of oppression.
At this moment, Tazuna recognized Sasuke's true identity and realized he had messed with someone who might be a threat. How had he managed to Uchiha?
Naruto and Hinata could only frantically try to persuade Sasuke from the sidelines.
"Calm down, Sasuke-kun. This is someone we're protecting on our mission."
" Uchiha Sasuke, don't rush. I have a Ninjutsu here for destroying evidence. Do you want to learn it?"
Kakashi's lips twitched, but he still looked at Tazuna.
"Look, you've seen it yourself. My subordinate has a bit of a temper. You'd better tell the truth, or don't blame me if you get beaten up later."
