Born in the resource-rich Konoha Ninja Village, Naruto does not have the slightest possessiveness for the country of waves, which is extremely scarce in terms of both property and economy. So much so that these conditions proposed by Naruto were for Dazna...... In other words, for the entire country of waves, it is not how harsh, let alone taking advantage of the fire to rob. It is even enough to be called the result of mutual benefit under the condition of maintaining mutual equality.

Because of this, after Naruto told everyone about the whole set of plans he had conceived without reservation. In addition to being stunned, falling into a state of stupeness for a long time, and subconsciously deeply doubting how terrible the foundation of the team he hired was. With the gradual passage of time, Dazna, who had slowly and completely awakened his consciousness, naturally agreed to Naruto's requests without hesitation.

Of course, yes to yes...... But in the final analysis, because Dazna is only an expert in building bridges, but not the decision-maker on the surface of the country of waves, what makes Dazna able to agree to Naruto is only within the scope of his own ability, trying to meet Naruto's requirements, and using the prestige he has established in the country of waves to lobby other residents, choosing to trust and cooperate with Naruto's arrangement. And not long after Naruto explained in detail, Dazna, who had already seen hope, happily went out again, and hurriedly went from house to house to visit and lobby.

At the same time, Naruto, who had already made arrangements and decisions, naturally would not stay in Dazna's house in peace, wasting this peaceful life for an unknown amount of time. So much so that it didn't take long to go out in Dazna. Naruto left a few defensive seals, traps, and his own shadow clones at Dazna's house to protect the safety of Tsunami and Inari who stayed at home, and then went out with the group of the seventh class. Immediately, in order to enhance the strength of everyone, but also to follow the development of the original plot and minimize the impact of the butterfly effect, he began to arrange his cultivation matters in a race against time.

It's just that because of the strength of the two of them themselves, it is no longer an ordinary tree-climbing training that can be satisfied and dismissed. makes the practice arrangement, if it is strict and more serious, it is still quite different from the original work. And then the two of them, who had a very tacit understanding for a long time, chose a place on their own to train the two of them in their common attack tactics, in case of emergency. Sakura, who is the weakest in the team but has a solid foundation, was also deliberately arranged by Naruto and did not follow Kakashi to practice. On the contrary, under the leadership of Xiang Li, who is about the same age, he also chose a place by himself to conduct one-on-one teaching and guidance.

You must know that in Naruto's prior introduction and arrangement, Kasa was one step ahead of Sakura and became a personal disciple under Tsunade. And for Sakura, who doesn't have any inheritance advantage of family blood, but with her innate talent and her own acquired efforts, she can be more or less ahead of other normal children of the same age in terms of chakra's control skills, and based on this, she has an excellent foundation to become a medical ninja. In the process of following Xiang Li's practice, it is like a temporary Buddha's foot, learning some simple and effective low-level emergency medical ninjutsu is undoubtedly more suitable for her than following Naruto and the others to carry out arduous and rigorous physical training.

In addition, the reason why Kaori was deliberately arranged to teach Sakura, instead of Naruto, who is also good at medical ninjutsu, used his shadow clone to guide the practice, so that Karyo could spare free time to busy with his own affairs. It's not because, with Naruto's current strength, creating one or two more shadow clones will affect the sparring between the main body and Sasuke. It's because, along the way, Naruto discovered that there was a slight sense of estrangement between these two girls through his silent observation of words and expressions. Naruto, who was already affected by the concept of incompatibility between men and women, and would not be naïve to think that the overall strength of the squad could change qualitatively just by relying on this temporary assault practice, naturally regarded this one-on-one practice guidance process as the best time to make the relationship between these two girls closer and more or less dispelled that sense of estrangement!

After all, if you don't prevent it in advance, in case one day in the future, because of this estrangement, the misunderstanding and conflict will cause these two girls to quarrel with each other, and affect the unity and cooperation of the entire seventh class...... For Naruto, it was more than a little disturbing the little time of Xiangri's cultivation, and it was more than worth the loss!

Well, it's just that in this way, Kakashi, who has become a loner in a sense, feels quite laid-back and relaxed. But it is inevitable that in front of the fact that the students are busy with their own work and have no time to take care of the current situation of his 'teacher', they feel lonely and lonely for a while......

……

Just when Naruto's group of four people, under Naruto's deliberate arrangement, began a busy and fulfilling special training. As a teacher, but so idle that I have nothing to do to the point where I almost feel sleepy. And there is no Kakashi like the original book, because of the excessive use of the reincarnation eye, and can only lie in bed and recuperate. After a little thought, he simply replaced Sakura's work in the original book to protect the life of Dazna, who returned from lobbying and began to work as usual to build the bridge.

"Is this the bridge that Mr. Dazner designed...... It is indeed quite magnificent, and it is no wonder that Mr. Dazner is confident that if this bridge is repaired, the fate of the country of waves can be changed. ”

That's why Kakashi himself stepped onto the unfinished bridge and looked across the bank in front of the gap that still needed to be built. I can't help but sigh and praise from the bottom of my heart for this exquisite bridge. Then he looked sideways a little, and looked at the residents and workers who were busy with their work in the piles of building materials, sweating to and fro, as if they had found something, and continued to whisper to themselves.

"However, it is said that the fate of the entire country of waves is at stake. But with such a small number of people, if you want to repair this bridge, I'm afraid it will be enough...... Could it be that in the whole country of waves, there are only a small number of people who can do construction work? ”

It is clear that the residents who are stationed on the construction site and work together in an orderly manner are working hard for the job at hand. But this small number of people, not to mention the entire country of waves, even compared to the small village where Dazna lives, is probably only a drop in the bucket! So that not only the completion date of the project, but also in the face of this embarrassing situation of far from understaff, will be greatly delayed. Whether we can persist in the original intention until the end and complete the construction of this bridge is probably unknown, right?

And it wasn't long before the thought came to Kakashi's mind. A confrontation witnessed made Kakashi feel more and more uncertain about whether the bridge would be completed.

"That...... Do you have time? Dazna. ”、

At the end of the day, when the lunch break was approaching, an old man soaked in sweat as if he had just been fished out of a bucket after a busy morning, wandered back and forth, clenched his teeth, and secretly made some kind of decision. And when Dazna, who was carrying the steel, hurriedly walked by, he took advantage of the situation and shouted to stop the person.

"Huh? Yes...... It's you, Kitchen, and it's been a hard time this morning. ”

And at the moment when the old man's voice fell, Dazna's figure obviously seemed to have a premonition, and he trembled suddenly. Then he bent down with difficulty, and the steel on his shoulders slowly came down. While taking deep breaths again and again, calming his mood more or less, he tried to keep his head naturally turning a little and responding word by word.

"What's the matter? If you want to take a break, you can go to the ......."

"No, that's not what I'm trying to say......"

It's a pity that in the face of Dazner's natural complexion, there is a clear response with a sense of reserve. The old man who was called Kiki had no intention of appreciating it. Then he clenched his fists, and before Dazner could finish his words, he spoke straight out word by word, interrupting Dazna's reassuring words.

"I've thought about it for a long time before you come back, Dazna...... Can I quit the matter of building the bridge? ”

“…… What's wrong? Kitchen? Why do you say that? ”

In the face of the result that should come and will come sooner or later, although Dazner had expected it, he inevitably clenched his teeth, showing a little unwillingness. Then he tried to raise the corners of his mouth so that he could keep the slight smile on his face as much as possible, and kept his tone as calm as possible, and asked softly.

"Exit the bridge...... This decision is a little too sudden, right? If you were to quit, wouldn't that be ......"

"Dazna, we're old friends, aren't we? So, there are some things that I just say to my face. ”

However, Kic, who had made up his mind, obviously did not listen to Dazner's persuasion. So much so that his brows furrowed slightly, interrupting Dazner's words again. In the hearts of everyone, it has long been known clearly. But in the face of this only hope, they are unwilling to easily expose the "truth" and say it without scruples.

"Although I have the heart to help you, if you continue like this, even we will be targeted by Cardo...... And what a terrible retribution you will suffer if you offend Cardo, you who have lost your son-in-law should know better than us, right? ”

“……”

"Besides, your family is now relying on you to take the lead alone, right? In case something happens to you, then...... That's a great thing to do! ”

“……”

"So, I don't want to go against Cardo anymore......"

Seeing that Dazner was silent under his words, Kage mistakenly thought that Dazner approved of his idea, or that his own idea was what Dazner wanted to say, but did not have the courage to say it, and gradually became full of energy. So much so that between the endless lobbying, the tone became more and more justified because of this discovery.

"The same is true for building bridges, so let's just give up...... The arm can't twist the thigh, so it's better to accept the status quo as soon as possible and live in peace, Daz ......"

It's a pity that Kage obviously underestimated Dazner's deep obsession with building this bridge—or rather, changing the fate of the country of waves, which can only be slaughtered by others. I didn't expect that even if I witnessed the tragic death of my son-in-law, I couldn't let this obsession in Dazner's heart be shaken in the slightest! On the contrary, it was like adding fuel to the fire, which made Dazner's obsession more and more vigorous, and it had a counterproductive effect!

"Give up building bridges? An An lives separately? This kind of thing...... How could I possibly accept it! ”

Because of this, Dazner, who had been holding back his emotions, finally began to tremble slightly under the chatter of his old friends. Then he suddenly scolded angrily, raised his hand, and pointed to the unfinished bridge under his feet, while his eyes were firmly in line with his old friend. And then in that sonorous, forceful, irrefutable and firm tone, he continued word by word.

"This is our bridge...... And our last hope! Only by repairing it can we bring trade and transportation to this extremely poor country, and thus break the predicament that hangs over the whole country! It is precisely because of this belief that everyone should work together to build it! ”

"Yes...... But! ”

Dazner's words stimulated Kiki, who was so relieved, that his face turned red. Then, when the words had been spoken and could not be easily taken back, he simply broke the jar and tried to continue to defend himself.

"If you even put your own life on the line to build the bridge, then it's ......"

"Ah...... It's already midday break, so let's do it here today. ”

It's a pity that Dazner obviously doesn't want to hear more about this dry selfish reason. So much so that he turned around and announced that the lunch break had arrived. After only a slight pause, he made his decision in a cold voice without looking back as he stepped forward.

"I know what you're thinking, Kitchen...... You don't have to come back in the future! ”
