"Brothers, kill that old bastard!"
" Gato said that whoever can kill that old man will be rewarded with a lifetime of wealth and honor."
"Charge, brothers! Keep that little girl for us."
Looking at this motley crew, Kakashi sighed helplessly. It seemed these people still didn't understand the difference between ordinary people and ninjas; otherwise, ninjas would be called weapons of war.
He was about to make a move when Sasuke stopped him.
"Don't rush, it's my turn to make a move this time."
Sasuke slowly walked up to the group, took his hands out of his pockets, gathered a little Chakra, and then performed a series of rapid Hand Seals for everyone.
Fire Style: Great Fireball.
A fireball five meters in diameter hurtled towards the crowd.
"Ouch, it's so hot! It's so hot!"
"I'm on fire! Help me!"
"Damn it, there's a ninja among them."
"Run, Mom! I don't want to die!"
Sure enough, with a single Ninjutsu, the group of people sent by Gato either fled or were left with only a few fearless individuals struggling to hold on.
"Boss, shouldn't we retreat? I have a feeling we're no match for them. They have ninjas."
Shh, don't talk, help me run.
"Huh? Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Don't scream, my legs are giving way. Hurry up and run with me, or we won't be able to escape."
Upon hearing his boss's words, the henchman quickly grabbed his boss and started running.
At this point, Sasuke had gone berserk, unleashing Great Fireball at the group of people like it was free. One massive fireball after another was launched at them, and screams and the smell of burning filled the air.
"Hehe, this time it's finally my turn to show off. I open my eyes and it's dawn, I close my eyes and it's dark. If I'm not the main character, then who is?"
Listening to Sasuke's arrogant words, Naruto really wanted to interrupt him, but then he remembered that he was the one who taught him those arrogant words, so he didn't want to interrupt him.
Naruto took the opportunity to let his broken Kubikiribōchō absorb the blood, and saw Kubikiribōchō repairing itself at a visible speed.
Kakashi watched in astonishment, amazed that such a wondrous weapon existed in the world, capable of restoring its blade by absorbing human blood.
"That's amazing."
Even Hinata nearby, was pushed out by Kakashi to kill several enemies.
Her small face was pale with exhaustion, indicating that she had just gone through a long internal struggle.
Kakashi took in everyone's reactions and was quite pleased. These subordinates did have some skill, after all. He was happy to have some peace and quiet and secretly took out his newly bought "Icha Icha Paradise.
After the three of them dealt with the last remaining escapees, they allowed Tazuna to continue leading the way; they needed to rest.
As for the leader of this operation, some inexplicable things happened.
It turned out that while he was running away, Sasuke's fireball accidentally got on his buttocks. After they all escaped to a safe location, someone pointed out the flames that had reached his groin.
"Boss, quick, your cone is on fire!"
"Everyone, come help the boss! Come on, come on!"
In an instant, the group tackled their leader to the ground and used their kicks to help him put out the fire.
"Boss, just bear with it, the fire will be put out soon."
"You..."
"Boss, I understand. Everyone, give it your all!"
Upon hearing this, the men attacked even more fiercely, and the effect was obvious; they quickly extinguished the fire in their leader's groin. However, at this moment, their leader seemed to be acting strangely.
Their leader's performance has declined somewhat, only scoring 8.6 points. At this point, some people might ask, "That's not low, is it?" because their leader scores 1.4 points.
"You... you son of a bitch, you did it on purpose, you absolutely did it on purpose..."
After saying this, he completely fainted. His men looked at each other.
In the end, they decided to carry the eldest brother back.
On Naruto's side, after his Kubikiribōchō was restored, he successfully stored it in his system space, which made things a bit more convenient.
Tazuna had just returned home when he saw his grandson, Inari, rushing out. Seeing that his grandfather was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He suppressed the worry in his eyes, put on his usual indifferent expression again, and casually glanced at the four members of Team 7 behind Tazuna.
"Tch, old man, what do you want with these people? Are you planning to build your bridge again and play the hero?"
After saying this, Inari sarcastic remarks:
"These guys you brought, are they even enough to fill Gato's teeth? Especially that arrogant guy, he looks like the weakest. And what's with the Byakugan monster? That blond guy doesn't look like a good person either. Although the oldest one looks the strongest, he looks really weak."
Inari's words offended everyone in Team 7.
Naruto finally understood why Tazuna had said his grandson would hold a grudge against Konoha for life. This kid—you don't know until you meet him! He's just a complete brat!
Sasuke's face had turned very dark, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. Naruto was smiling at Inari, and even Hinata was puffing out her cheeks, looking at him with some displeasure.
" Naruto, don't pull me back. If I don't beat him up today, he won't know why the flowers are so red."
He clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.
Sasuke walked towards Inari with a grim face, startling Tazuna into immediately shielding Inari behind him.
"Sir Ninja, my grandson is still young and speaks without thinking. Please have mercy and spare him."
Sasuke completely ignored Tazuna's words, walked over, and slapped Tazuna away.
"Go to hell! He's a kid? And I'm not?"
Sasuke wasn't going to tolerate him at all. He went up to Inari and gave him a sharp rap on the head.
Say thank you to me.
"Ouch, that hurts."
Inari out a cry of pain, but still looked defiant, which infuriated Sasuke and Naruto. This kid was truly impervious to reason.
"No, I don't want to apologize. Wait, why should I thank you? Thank you for hitting me? No way, I didn't say anything wrong, he just wanted to be the hero."
" Uchiha Sasuke, let me do it."
Naruto Sasuke aside and went to Inari himself. Seeing Naruto's unfriendly expression, Inari swallowed nervously.
This blond guy was much more intimidating than the hot-tempered one.
"Kid, you seem to have some issues with us?"
