In the third exercise ground, Sakura Haruno was holding a lunch box and quietly feeding Naruto Uzumaki, who was tied to a wooden stake, while Sasuke Uchiha was on guard in case Kakashi Hachiki suddenly appeared and discovered several people breaking the rules.

"Didn't I say that? Don't let Naruto eat a bento! Kakashi suddenly appeared in front of the stake and glared at the three of them with an angry face, "You guys! Violated the rules and are you ready to be penalized? What else is there to say now? ”

Naruto stiffened his head and stammered, "But... But... But what you said, teacher, that's why the two of them..."

"We're a team of three, right?" Sasuke added Naruto as he glanced at Sakura.

"yes, the three of us are a group." The first time she saw Kakashi-sensei, who was angry, Sakura was also frightened for a while, but she quickly recovered, "We can't eat our bento by ourselves and let Naruto starve alone. ”

"Kakashi-sensei, don't scare them." Jing, who was hiding on the side, also came over at this time and giggled, "Aren't they qualified?" ”

"Qualified? Why? Naruto was still a little confused, and Sasuke and Sakura next to him were also a little surprised, they obviously violated the rules set by Kakashi.

"You're indeed qualified, while you're sharing the bento." Although Kakashi was wearing a mask, he couldn't hide his smile at this time, "Ninjas can't think with common sense, and whoever breaks the rules of the ninja world, we all call him waste." But those who don't value their peers are worse waste. ”

This bowl of chicken soup made the hearts of the three people in Class 7 excited, and seeing that the atmosphere was quite good, Kakashi immediately announced, "This is the end of the mission, all of them are qualified!" The seventh shift will begin its mission tomorrow. ”

"It's... It's really cool..."Naruto burst into tears of excitement, and then suddenly remembered something, looked at Shizun on the side and asked, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

"Stinky little ghost, be polite to your seniors, I'm Kakashi-sensei's first students." Jing lifted the lunch box in her hand, winced at Naruto, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and call your seniors to listen?" As soon as the seniors are happy, maybe they will help you loosen it and give you a delicious bento? ”

"Senpai? The first students? So, this guy is the guy who was tied up here before? Naruto muttered to himself, completely unnoticed, and the smile on Shizu's face began to turn dangerous.

"Hehe, it's rude to your seniors, what an unlikable child." Shizune raised her hand and punched Naruto on the head, and handed the lunch box to Kakashi with a smile: "Sensei, remember to eat lunch, I'll go home first." Being a babysitter for this kind of stupid little ghost, it seems that you will not have a good time in the future. ”

Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that it was him who Jing said, and immediately became unhappy, eager to write a sentence on his face, "You guy is not Sasuke, why do you say I'm stupid."

"You... If you have the ability to let go of me, I'm going to beat you up! Naruto struggled desperately, kicking his legs around, Shizuki ignored himself and gradually walked away, looking at Kakashi with a look of dismay, "Kakashi-sensei, who the hell is that nasty squint?" ”

"Calm down, Naruto, you're no match for her." Kakashi glanced at the bento box in his hand, and under the transparent lid, there was tempura that he didn't like to eat, sighed softly, and continued, "And I didn't tie her to the stake at the time, her group snatched the bell from me in less than ten minutes." ”

"Impossible, right? Is that squinting eye so powerful? Naruto looked incredulous, "Let's let the water go... Kakashi-sensei, you must have released the water, right? ”

Sakura was also surprised that she could grab the bell in less than ten minutes? She knows very well that students who have just graduated from ninja schools are not yet fully developed, and they have a big disadvantage compared to adults. Just like in the previous survival drill, although she was able to see through Kakashi's illusion, she was not an opponent at all in the subsequent physical confrontation, and she was put to the ground in three or two clicks.

Through the battle with Kakashi, Sasuke also realized that there was a huge gap in strength between Shimoshino and Kakashi. And ask yourself, even if the three of them are together, they are not sure to take the bell from Kakashi, who released the water. Thinking of this, Sasuke felt that the bento in his hand was no longer fragrant, and asked, "Kakashi, how did they grab the bell?" ”

"How? This has to start with the members of the first class..."Kakashi untied the rope and met Naruto's touched gaze, handed over the lunch box that Shizumi had delivered, and began to recount the battle he had fought two years ago.

——

Although after Ming rushed towards Kakashi, there were many fewer shurikens to contain Kakashi, but Jing's shuriken skills were quite exquisite, leaving not much space, and successfully covered the two to complete the close-quarters. The main thing is that Kakashi is more cooperative, and his calf is hit by a soft fist, so he does not choose to retreat, but waits with interest for Akira and Takashi's next move.

Xiao contained Chakra's soft fist and attacked Kakashi's stomach, and under the impact of the soft fist, the air could even be seen frame by frame the layers of white shadows stacked into waves and spread away, as if there was already a rudimentary form of a gossip empty palm.

Ming is an unpretentious kick that hits Kakashi's knee bay, and although it doesn't contain much chakra, it is better than the precision of the movement. Borrow the momentum when close to the body to drive the waist and legs to increase strength, use the waist as the axis to gather the whole body strength into a line, adjust the distance to make the leg moves accurate and concentrated. If this blow can be effectively hit, it will inevitably destroy its center of gravity.

However, Kakashi only turned slightly to the side, avoiding the head-on confrontation with Jutsuken, and reached out to clasp Taka's wrist to prevent Takashi from turning his palm into a thump and attacking himself with the fist peak on the back of his hand. At the same time, he kicked his legs and jumped up with filial piety, avoiding Ming's leg sweep. The movements are smooth and in one go, and he deserves to be one of the best elite ninjas in Konoha Village.

Hyo, who was grabbed and brought into the air with both hands, did not panic, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since Kakashi grabbed his wrist with both hands, it also meant that he couldn't seal it, in that case...

A sliding shovel lay flat on the ground, and his hands quickly sealed. Wind Escape: Big Breakthrough! In just a moment, a strong wind struck from below, blowing Kakashi and Takataka high. At the same time, a kunai flew out of the woods, and a thin steel wire was tied to the end of the kunai, which was manipulated by Shira and shot towards the bell around Kakashi's waist.

Seeing that Kunai was about to row the rope tied to the bell, Takashi felt his wrist loosen, and Kakashi, who was in the white field of vision, had already used the stand-in technique to return to the ground, and then shouted: "Below!" ”

Fire Escape: Impatiens Technique! Although her observation power is not as good as that of the white eye, Jing's writing wheel eye is not an ornament, and at the same time as Kakashi's stand-in technique seal, she has already condensed the chakra and started to seal. Almost at the same time that Kakashi landed, several shuriken with flames pierced the land around Kakashi, where the detonating charms had been planted in advance.

Kakashi returned to the ground, and was about to stun Akira first, and then deal with Takashi who couldn't be avoided in the air, and finally went to the woods to catch Shizu, but Akira in front of him turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Shadow clone? Kakashi's secret path is not good! As Ming's shadow clone vanished, a detonation charm emerged that had been buried in the soil in advance. On the ground in front of Kakashi, dozens of detonation charms have been ignited by the Phoenix's fire...

“BOOM！ BOOM！ BOOM..."Faced with a series of explosions, Kakashi thought about taking a few steps back and then blocking the impact of the detonation charm with the earth flow wall. But every time he retreated, he could see several flaming detonating charms, and he had to jump back continuously, and so on until he reached the surface of the lake.

Just when Kakashi was treading water with chakra attached to his feet, he unexpectedly stepped into the water with one foot, and Shinobu naturally wouldn't make such a mistake, so...

Water Escape, Water Prison Technique, Ming's true body has been hiding in the lake, waiting for this time. By the time Kakashi realized that there was someone in the water, the water prison had already been activated, and the strong water pressure made Kakashi unable to move for a while.

Akira held the jutsu with one hand, and with the other reached into the water prison, took the bell from Kakashi's waist, and threw it at Shizu, who came out of the woods.

Jing took the bell, and seeing that Takaya used the stand-in technique to return to the ground safely, the whole person also relaxed, holding the bell high and smiling at Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, we got it." ”

——

“... Now, that's it. Assemble in front of the reservoir tomorrow and disband! With the story finished, Kakashi picked up his backpack and threw it over his shoulders and left the exercise ground.

"In the end, Boss Ming is still powerful, and that squinting eye is just throwing a few shuriken shots." Naruto said unconvinced, "When Boss Ming comes back, I must let him teach me the super powerful Wind Escape Ninjutsu." At that time, whether it is Squinting Eyes or Kakashi-sensei, it will all be blown into the sky. ”

When I was in ninja school, I couldn't even learn the clone technique of 5 seconds and 3 seals, and I still want to learn advanced wind escape? Sakura continued to concentrate on eating her lunch, not wanting to deal with Naruto, who was daydreaming.

"Big fool, how can you teach advanced ninjutsu to others casually?" On the contrary, Sasuke said to Naruto on a whim, "And even if people are willing to teach you, you probably won't be able to learn it, right?" ”

"You don't look down on people anymore, Boss Ming promised me that as long as I learned the doppelganger technique, he would teach me a super powerful ninjutsu. In addition, when Boss Ming was still in the village, he would celebrate my birthday every year and often invite me to eat Ichiraku ramen. ”

Naruto tossed it and felt a little hungry, so he picked up a tempura shrimp from the bento box and put it in his mouth, and then tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes, "Ah! That squinting eye actually put so much wasabi in the tempura! The next time I see her, I won't be able to spare her! ”

Of course, Shizuki knew that Kakashi didn't like to eat tempura, but Kakashi didn't waste food and usually gave tempura to other people, such as Kai, or now Naruto. No matter who you are, when you eat tempura, your expression will be wonderful.

"What an idiot, I'll withdraw first. Instead of having time to make small talk here, it is better to practice more. Sasuke quickly finished his bento and packed his things to go home.

Out of the pride of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke felt that as long as Naruto didn't hold back, and a little more teamwork through the mission, he would soon be able to surpass the first few people.

It's just that in the following month or so, in addition to daily training and cultivation, Class 7 actually took on 4 D-level tasks. After all, even Xiaohu, who is good at running away from home, doesn't run away from Mrs. Daimyo every day.

Sakura doesn't really care much about the level and difficulty of the task, because the task is a job, and it's not her turn to pick and choose. And she's only shinobi now, and it's not surprising that she's on a D-class mission.

Sasuke is slightly better, although the mission is a bit boring. But in the past month or so, the teamwork of Class 7 has been strengthened a lot, and there is a little tacit understanding between them. Kakashi's guidance outside of the mission also benefited him a lot.

But Naruto didn't think so, in the ninja world he longed for, ninjas were cool existences. Crusade against thieves, protect dignitaries, and seize intelligence, how enthusiastic; Instead of taking care of kids, running errands and grocery shopping, looking for boring tasks like cats.

So on this day, Naruto protested at the mission release place, no matter how much Miyo explained the importance of the mission, he just lay on the ground and refused to get up.

"Okay, I see. Since you're so insistent, I'll send you on a C-class mission. The three generations of Hokage didn't know what to think about, so they agreed to Naruto's unreasonable request, "Go and protect someone." ”

"Really? Who is it? Who is it? Naruto was like a husky, one second he was still posing hideous, and the next second he immediately broke his skills and turned into a comic, "Is it Daimyo-sama?" Or Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll introduce you now..."Ape Feiri smiled as he took his pipe in his mouth, and said to the door, "Can you come in for a while?" ”

The four members of the seventh class looked back and walked through the door into a decadent old man with a wine bottle and a drunken face. The old man glanced at the seventh class, opened his mouth and said, "What, it's all little ghosts", then took a big sip of wine, and said, "Especially the shortest stupid guy, are you really a ninja", his face full of distrust.

Naruto started to play back, but when he looked left and right, he was the shortest of the three in Class 7. Only then did he realize that the old man was talking about him, and immediately wanted to step forward and teach the old man a lesson. Although he was stopped by Kakashi, he still yelled to kill the old man.

"Hokage-sama, what is our mission?" Sakura-chan was a ninja in her previous life, and when her own team and her employer were incompatible or had serious differences, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the task, she could actually apply for another team of ninjas to complete the task instead.

Sakura didn't want to stay with the old man who was full of alcohol, and if the old man went crazy, she might as well go to the river to pick up garbage. If the task is more troublesome, she simply said that her ability is still insufficient, and she will apply for someone else to complete the task.

"Little girl, I'm a super famous bridge-building expert, Dazner." Dazna looked at Class 7 with a serious face, "Before I go back to China to finish the bridge, please risk your lives to protect my safety." ”

"Is there someone threatening Mr. Duzner's life?" Sakura looked at Sarutobi and explained her opinion: "Although the C-rank mission only needs to deal with ordinary bandits, it is not ruled out that it will escalate to a battle between ninjas. I think for a couple of us, it might be..."

"It's okay, Sakura-chan. When Konoha evaluates the level of the task, he also conducts a simple investigation of the client. Kakashi pointed to a passage on the mandate and continued to explain, "Mr. Dazna has been frequently harassed by a gang of thugs in the Land of Fire for the last month or so. According to the investigation, there are no ninjas among the hooligans, and although they are clamoring to kill Mr. Dazna, they are only talking cruelly, so this mission will be judged as C-class. ”

"Don't worry, even if it turns out to be a confrontation between ninjas, I won't let you get hurt." Kakashi handsomely gave Sakura a thumbs up, "Mr. Dazna, we've taken this task." ”
