Perhaps seeing that his companion had been killed, the remaining ghost brother had no fighting spirit, but Kakashi just asked casually, and the man explained the ins and outs of the future like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

At this point, everyone has figured out that this ghost brother was hired to assassinate Daz, the target of the mission, which also caused an embarrassing situation.

That is, in Konoha's task grading system, in which C and D-level missions theoretically do not involve ninja fighting, whether it is a ninja from the five major villages or some wandering ninjas, as long as they will appear as enemies, then the level of the mission is at least B-level or above.

Apparently, this Mr. Daz panicked when he posted the mission, deliberately concealing the fact that he might be attacked by ninjas on the way to reduce the mission reward, which is also something that Kakashi wants to talk to him about.

"I'm sorry......" In the face of Kakashi's questioning, Daz didn't quibble, but changed his previous appearance as a drunkard, and first sincerely apologized to a few people.

Then Daz told the truth, and he said in a low tone: "I did deceive you, but this is also a helpless move......

Daz explained the current situation of poverty in the country of waves and the threat of being threatened by the international shipping merchant Cardo, focusing on his current miserable situation, and finally burst into tears, claiming that if he died, how would he live with his daughter and little grandson, orphans and widows.

Anyway, no matter how miserable it was, he almost told Naruto directly that if he gave up the mission, it would be like killing his entire family.

“……”

After listening to this Datong's complaint, several people in the seventh class looked at each other, and they were a little in a dilemma.

Give up the mission, it's all here, seeing how far away it is from the border coast, adding Daz's oil and vinegar, Sasuke and Sakura are both a little unbearable, worried that giving up the mission will really kill the Daz family.

But go on, and it violates the principle of tasks, and labor and income are also extremely unequal, and there is a little tangled for a while.

Naruto doesn't care, it doesn't matter if he goes or not, anyway, the time for cultivation is delayed, but considering that it's all here, it's not worth it to give up halfway with everything in the luggage.

In addition, he knew that he would meet Zaibu and Shiro later, and he also intended to meet them for a while, so in general, Naruto was still inclined to continue.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Daz at all, Naruto knows very well, if this trip is different from the one in the plot, and then he doesn't go crazy and kill Cardo and his party in the end, then repairing that bridge will undoubtedly be in vain, and it will not change the status quo of the country of waves at any level at all.

And even if this trip solves Cardo like in the plot, it will be just a drink to quench the thirst of this country, the exploitation of the upper classes will still be the same, and the lives of civilians will not be much easier, and they will be ready for the next Cardo at any time, and they will still live in fear.

This is the fate of this kind of island country that has no sea power, and the whole country is in a state of holding Tai'a to give people a handle, eating jujube pills.

Therefore, Naruto's mentality at this time is to travel by the way to increase his knowledge, whether the bridge is repaired or not, what will happen to the country of waves in the future, these are not in his consideration at all.

At this moment, he was thinking about whether he could defeat Bai with the ice shield blood inheritance boundary with his level, and how big the gap would be between him and not slashing.

Naturally, he didn't think that he was good again because he simply solved a ghost brother, such a rookie is almost the same as Mizuki, and he can't become a standard for measuring strength.

As Sasuke said in the plot, "A first-class ninja, even if you see an opponent for the first time, can roughly know the difference between the strength of the enemy and the enemy." ”

Naruto naturally didn't have such a mysterious sense now, and he could only vaguely judge whether the opponent would pose a threat to him.

For example, Mizuki, such as the ghost brothers, he is comfortable with this kind of person because he doesn't feel the slightest pressure at all.

On the other hand, Kakashi, even though Kakashi has not raised his forehead once to reveal the chakra of the sign, but the faint pressure from the strong Naruto can feel it all the time.

This naturally made him not dare to underestimate it again, but he remembered that as soon as he met this misty ghost man in the plot, Kakashi lifted his forehead guard and prepared to go all out.

So if he continues this time, his target should be Shiro, a very good blood ninja of the same age.

"What do you think?" Kakashi seemed to have made up his mind when Naruto was thinking about not slashing Kahaku again, but he had always disliked being arbitrary, so he asked the opinions of the three Naruto.

“…… Let's go ahead then. Under the nervous gaze of Daz on the side, Naruto spread his hands to show whatever, Sasuke and Sakura thought about it and nodded and decided to continue.

Obviously, the two of them still didn't resist the softness in their hearts, and they couldn't bear the tragedy in Daz's mouth, and decided to complete their first C-level mission and protect Daz until the construction of the bridge was completed.

As several people reached an agreement, after waiting for the nearby patrolling Nakashinobi to arrive to receive the oni brothers, the four members of the seventh squad continued to escort Daz towards the country of waves.

After a few hours of travel, the fog began to fill as the group approached the mouth of the border, and by the time they met an uncle who was here to ferry them to the country of waves, the fog had reduced visibility to a minimum.

At first glance, this uncle was Daz's companion or something, and he was dressed in the same way, even the hat on his head was the same style.

The group boarded the boat one after another, and when Naruto got on the boat, he noticed that the engine in the stern was almost indistinguishable from the pull-out engine of the motorized dinghy in his previous life, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart about the crooked science and technology book here.

Obviously, gasification and electrification have been achieved, televisions, refrigerators, and engines are available, but there are no gunpowder weapons and no airplanes, which is really strange enough.

"The fog is so big, can you see it?" After getting on the boat, Sakura looked around and couldn't help but ask the paddle-wielding uncle.

At the same time, both Kakashi and Naruto noticed that there was something hidden when they wanted to come by relying on such a primitive way of ferrying, even though there was an engine on the ship.

"Soon, you should be able to see the bridge a little further on, and then you can follow the bridge to the country of waves." Without answering Sakura's question, the uncle explained succinctly and then kept silent.

As if to gag them, this person simply explained the things that might be asked, and the few of them stopped speaking out at this point.

In this way, as the uncle said, it didn't take long for half of the bridge that was still under construction to reveal itself in the fog, and then everyone passed through the bridge with the boat and officially entered the country of waves.

As if there was no threat here, the uncle put down the oars in his hand, started the engine, and the speed suddenly increased.

"Okay, it's finally safe, so be careful after that." After landing, the middle-aged uncle seemed to be relieved and said to Daz.

"I know, thank you for your hard work." Daz smiled and nodded.

Then, after everyone got off the boat, the middle-aged uncle waved goodbye and drove the boat away quickly.

"It's really troublesome, it seems that the next time I come, I'm afraid it won't be Nakashinobi......" Kakashi, who had been silently observing all the way, sighed in his heart at this time.

Judging from the performance of this person and Daz, Kakashi already feels that this trip will not be easy, and even returning home needs to be so cautious, it seems that Kado's threat to this country has reached a very serious level, and Kakashi thinks that he is likely to face a shinobi-level opponent next.

Thinking of this, Kakashi had a little headache, he specially changed the mission originally because of the long duration of the mission, which could make the three people of the seventh class run in more tacit understanding on the way to the mission, but a C-level mission with little pay may face an enemy at the upper ninja level, and it is inevitable that the gains outweigh the losses.

Since the establishment of the seventh class, Naruto's various performances naturally can't escape his eyes, and as a boss, Naruto can complete the task perfectly every time, which makes him very satisfied.

But also as the shinobi instructor of the seventh class, he naturally found a faint sense of alienation between Naruto and the other two, including with him, which was reflected in Naruto's always leaving the first time after each disbandment, even if he offered to have dinner with the seventh class and other activities, he was politely declined.

This kind of faint detachment from the collective style is something he doesn't want to see, whenever he thinks about it, he regrets letting Naruto go back early that day, but at that time, he really couldn't find a reason to keep Naruto on the premise that he grabbed the bell alone.

From the time he took over the seventh class, it seemed that things were always going wrong, and seeing that this mission had unconsciously deviated from his expectations, Kakashi couldn't help but wonder if he was suitable to lead the class as a shinobi instructor.

He couldn't help but think back to the time when he was a member of the team under the command of the fourth generation, when he and Obito always quarreled, Rin persuaded on the side, and the relationship between the three of them improved little by little, and compared to the seventh class at this time, Kakashi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that the little ghosts of this era were really difficult to deal with.

Of the three, Sakura has been relentlessly approaching Sasuke, and she only has Sasuke in her eyes, and she can't play the role of a squad lubricant like Rin at all.

Sasuke, on the other hand, is unusually competitive because of his past reasons, although he is often quiet on the surface, and he won't shout like Obito, but he won't miss any opportunity to compete with Naruto, even in a D-class task like weeding, he has to be faster than Naruto.

As for Naruto...... Honestly, this is Kakashi's biggest headache.

He couldn't see what was going on in the kid's mind, and it seemed to him that Naruto didn't have the slightest interest in anything other than simply getting stronger.

Even Kakashi hoped that Naruto would be able to fight back under Sasuke's rivalry, and arguing or fighting would be much better than his current calm appearance.

Being able to face peer competition and even provocation can be understood as far-reaching in adults, but in a twelve-year-old child, it is necessary to interpret it in a different way.

This meant that Naruto himself didn't care about Sasuke or even Sakura at all, and no matter what happened to the other two, they wouldn't be taken seriously by Naruto, which was obviously not the attitude that Kakashi thought his companions should have.

Especially today, Kakashi saw Naruto's disregard for life, which inevitably made him vigilant, you know, now is different from his time, graduation means going to the battlefield to fight to the death with different people.

It had been almost fifteen years since the end of the Third Shinobi War, and it was really hard for him to imagine that Naruto, who had grown up in peacetime, could face an enemy so calmly for the first time.

Thinking back to the scene now, even a ninja like Kakashi has to admit that it was the perfect blow, the pinnacle combination of speed and skill.

He could see very clearly that from the time his opponent rushed towards Naruto to the end of the fight, Naruto was almost as quiet as a harmless critter, and only showed his true fangs when he swung kunai and cut his opponent's throat.

The murderous aura was immediately suppressed, the perfect technique of concealing killing intent, Kakashi really found it hard to imagine that this was Naruto's first killing, recalling the first time he stabbed the short knife into the enemy's chest, the feeling of being splashed on his face by the opponent's warm blood, and he could barely hold the hilt, and compared to Naruto's indifferent expression after killing the oni-man brother, as if he had eaten a slice of bread, even he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

So by now, this mission might be troublesome, but Naruto is the one who really needs to focus on him.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find a time to talk to this kid." Looking at Naruto's back, which looked like the fourth Hokage walking in front, Kakashi thought in his heart.

Sunny, straightforward, and gentle, these beautiful traits of the four generations of Hokage unfortunately did not manifest themselves in Naruto at this time, instead they were indifferent, restrained, and ruthless, and Kakashi did not want or think that this was what a child should have, especially as an important pillar of the village.

He didn't dare to imagine what terrible things would happen to a man who didn't care about everything and didn't care about life, so he decided that he had to reverse Naruto's tendency before the nightmare happened.

Not to mention the ups and downs in Kakashi's heart at this time, Naruto's side has been paying attention to his surroundings, if he remembers correctly, on the way to Daz's house in the plot, he will encounter the first wave of attacks that will not be slashed, in order to prevent the car from overturning, he naturally has to be careful and vigilant.

It's also a shame that he doesn't know how to read minds, and if he knew about Kakashi's inner activity at this time, I'm afraid he would have laughed back and said that he wasn't a "hot-blooded stupid" or was really sorry.

Surviving alone in the midst of everyone's discrimination until now, wouldn't it be strange if he could still be as heartless as Naruto Hara?

Leaving the descendants of the heroes of the village alone, it is now time to make him "lively" and "cheerful", if he knew what Kakashi was thinking, I'm afraid Naruto would think that he was not a psychopath.

Maybe Naruto Hara would be like this, and that's because the original Naruto himself is the real "protagonist" of this world, and without those character traits that transcend common sense, what else is there to see about this manga that is named after him.

But I'm sorry he's not, he's just an innocent traverser, before the crossing was an ordinary office worker, emotional thoughts are also the category of ordinary people, feeling malicious will be angry and sad, even if it's because of time and get used to it, he can't do those "spit on his own" things, he will only use a small notebook to keep in his heart, waiting for the future to settle together.

This is the thinking of "ordinary people", isn't it, repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances directly, how tired he was like the original Naruto, to forgive the people of Konoha who have been discriminating against him, to forgive Payne who killed his master Jiraiya and (at the time) Hinata, and even to forgive Obito who directly killed his parents.

This can't be described simply as broad-minded, this is an angel, this is a saint, and the original Naruto is really the kind of person who is willing to suffer alone while trying his best to understand others.

He admired Naruto and convinced Naruto in this regard, but this is not something that ordinary people can do, and he is just an ordinary person, he does not have the slightest will to understand what the motives or reasons behind those who hurt him, he just wants to give these people the middle finger, and break them to pieces, and then jump on their graves.

So go to his mutual understanding, go to his bullshit to break the chain of hatred, a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye is his way of life, even if he occasionally deliberately performs for some purposes, but this big premise will not become.

As for saying that he was cold-blooded, this point Naruto was really hard to refute, and he was indeed a little surprised by the calmness and naturalness when he did it before, not counting Mizuki's time, this was really the first time he killed someone in his two lives.

He didn't have the legendary feeling of wanting to vomit after killing someone for the first time, and even a little unfinished, but now that he thinks about it, when the ghost brother rushed towards him, he didn't seem to have any other option in his mind, as if everything was taken for granted, which also surprised him.

"Could it be that I'm actually a cold-blooded pervert, but the harmonious society in my previous life saved me?" Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but ask himself like this.

However, in fact, he was like most urban children of his time, even when he reached the age of going to work, he never even killed chickens, ducks and fish, and he still remembered that the biggest creature he had killed in his previous life was a mouse, or the first kill that he and his buddies in the dormitory completed together in a burst of shouting.

I didn't expect to get here, but I didn't care about the blood on my hands at all.

"The old society turned people into ghosts, and the new society turned ghosts into people." That's right.

Thinking that he was a good young man who grew up in the new society of the motherland, but when he arrived here, he became a ninja who killed people without blinking, which shows that the environment can really change people.

"Huh?!" At this time, Naruto, who had been paying attention to the movements around him, paused slightly, and then he took out the kunai without thinking about it, and flew out of the bushes in front of him.

"Are you coming?" Looking at the bushes in front of him shaking for a while and regaining his composure, Naruto walked over and picked up a snow rabbit that had been killed by kunai under the unexpected gaze of Sasuke and the others, and confirmed in his heart.
