Chapter IV

In the spring of May, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

In the midst of the lush forest, on a road opened by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Konoha Village, Kakashi led the members of the seventh squad and the client of this mission in the direction of the mission location, the country of waves.

Three days had passed since they left Konoha Village, and they were already approaching the border of the Fire Country.

The Fire Nation is located inland on the mainland, but faces the sea to the east, and there are thousands of islands near the East Sea, which are large and small, ranging from the small ones the size of a town to the large ones that rival the territory of the Fire Nation.

The resources on the island are also different, the world of Naruto is a multi-country world, this world is like the Warring States period of Japan, there are countless countries, and the powerful countries including the country of fire are the country of earth, the country of wind, the country of thunder, and the country of water.

In addition to the five major countries, there are many smaller countries.

For example, the Land of Rain, the Land of Snow, the Land of Stars, etc., the Land of Waves is a small island country in the East China Sea near the border of the Land of Fire.

Kakashi's mission this time is to lead the seventh team to protect the bridge between the land of the country of fire and the country of waves, and Danaz, a bridge built by the bridge between the land of the land of the land of fire and the country of the waves.

It's been seven days since he left Konoha Village, and the journey is almost to the border of the Fire Nation, and for Naruto, his first C-rank mission has kept him showing a lot of energy, and he hasn't been sluggish after rushing.

If you are purely at the speed of a ninja, it will only take about two days to get here from Konoha Village, but with one more ordinary person in the team, there is no doubt that the speed of the journey will be greatly reduced.

Again, this is based on the extent to which vehicles are used.

As the saying goes, roads are the first element of development, and the Fire Nation has implemented this very well, and the Daimyo of the Fire Nation has built countless wide roads in the territory in conjunction with the village of Konoha.

And with the existence of these roads, the entire Fire Nation will be communicated, and the economic development will naturally rise, and when facing war, it can also be faced quickly.

In fact, there is no shortage of bandits and bandits in the country of fire, this era, even in the era of peace, the country of fire is also a country with rich land, but the existence of hierarchy and low productivity doomed the profession of bandits and bandits will not disappear.

Ninja missions often require the elimination of bandits.

For Naruto, who is a rookie, although the escort is a drunken uncle who likes to drink, he still has fantasies about his escort on the way.

For example, killing bandits who are fighting off an attack or something.

It's just that the bandits and bandits are not stupid, how can the vortex graphic forehead guards worn by the ninjas of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire not know each other, and those who don't know are already dead fools. As a bandit to face someone protected by a ninja, only a fool would attack.

The most important reason why the ninja profession is noble in this world is their own strong strength.

A shinobi who graduated from a ninja school, as long as his psychological quality is a little better, after a few actual battles, in the face of an elite army of 100 people, he can definitely kill it within 1 hour, not to mention those more powerful ninjas.

In addition to the lethality of ninjutsu, the basic physical quality of an ordinary ninja is at least three times that of ordinary people.

The decisive factor in battle is strength and speed, and when a person's speed and reaction are several times or even dozens of times faster than yours, there is no doubt that there will be despair in the face of such an enemy.

So it's very interesting, since they left Konoha Village, not a single bandit has attacked them, and it is also the existence of this prestige and strength that will make the ninja's mission entrusted.

However, there was no attack, except for Kakashi, and some of the crisis consciousness that the other three budding rookies had when they first left the village completely disappeared.

It's like there's a puddle on the road they've just passed.

It hasn't rained recently and it's sunny weather, and the presence of a puddle on the road is already a lot of a problem, but

A few people who have not experienced actual combat training have no consideration in this regard at all.

Hanabi and Jiuji followed a few miles behind a few people, and her white-eyed vision allowed her to directly watch every move of Class Seventh remotely, but she was not so perverted and paid attention to it all the time.

For her, the reason why she came out this time, in addition to taking over the next task released by the system, was also to come out for a spring trip.

The second is to watch the plot up close, which is also a special hobby for the majority of people who know the plot traversal.

The puddle had been swept by the whites of her eyes before Kakashi arrived, so it was clear what was going on inside the puddle.

When the group stepped over the puddle.

There was no wind on the surface of the puddle of water, and two ninjas wearing the forehead guards of the Ninja of Mist Hidden Village appeared silently with masks similar to pig's mouth masks that had been hidden by the secret arts.

Whoa!

With a flick of his hand, four chains with thistles quickly extended and wrapped around Kakashi at the very end, dragging vigorously, Kakashi's body immediately shattered into several pieces.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto, who had no combat experience, was stunned by the sudden turn of events, and then two mist ninjas rushed behind him.

A piercing murderous aura covered his body, and a cold and deep voice sounded, "You're the second!"

Fear!Fear!!Fear!!

Fear enveloped his heart like a cold poisonous snake wrapped around his body, his body unable to move in the face of this strange fear, and Naruto painfully found that he could not react to the enemy he expected to react, and his brain was even blank.

I, am I going to die?!

But this is when the benefits of companionship are manifested.

Although Sasuke also let his guard down, he reacted immediately when the attack appeared, and Naruto's crisis made him notice it immediately.

Several kunai flew out, piercing through the hole at the top of the chain between the two mist ninjas, and firmly anchored to the big tree on one side.

Immediately rushed out with his body, and his legs quickly kicked the two mist ninjas, forcing them back from Naruto's side.

The two mist ninjas subconsciously wanted to retract the chains, but the fixed force made them immediately abandon this plan, and the ninja's first goal was to complete the task.

Decisively giving up on attacking the rookie yellow-haired imp again, one pounced on Sasuke, and the other moved quickly to approach the mission target.

Although Sakura is a girl, her psychological quality is even stronger than the current Naruto, and the ninja village school's ninja education slats are also deeply imprinted on her body.

When a mission objective is threatened, protect the mission objective first, even if it is at the cost of one's own life.

She immediately stood in front of Danaz.

"Run!"

Whispering, Kunai pulled out and held it in her hand, and she nervously looked at the approaching Mist Ninja.

It's so fast!

The pupils began to shrink, there was no confidence, no confidence to face this person, but it had to be on!

Sasuke on the side had a solemn expression, "Sakura is not his opponent. ”

Although he doesn't care about Sakura on the surface, whether in terms of friendship or anything else, he can't let Sakura be threatened.

It's the end of the afternoon.

Hands quickly seal.

Instantaneous!

The body immediately dodged the attack of another misty shinobi and appeared in front of Sakura.

"Sasuke!" Sakura was startled, and subconsciously almost inserted kunai into the person in front of her.

Is he here to save me?

Even if she is facing a threat of life and death, Sakura is still a nymphomaniac at this moment.

"Oh no!" Sasuke's face grew heavier.

The other mist ninja who was pestering him just now bent down and approached from the side at high speed, wanting to complete the encirclement one after the other.

It's just that just as they were about to complete the encirclement and attack, two heavy palms fell on their necks, their eyeballs bulged, and they suddenly passed out.

Kakashi, who used the stand-in technique to fake his death, made his appearance.

As an experienced peak shinobi, it was really easy to deal with two defenseless ordinary shinobi.

PS: I don't have enough time! I'm so tired, I went to sleep, and I begged for a count by the way...
