The Land of Fire is not far from the country of waves, and with the speed of a ninja's footsteps, running at full speed, it only takes half a day to reach the port of the country of waves.

But if there is an extra Dazna who is just an ordinary person in the team, it will definitely be impossible to go to the country of waves in the way of a ninja, and can only slowly advance step by step.

This process can take several days.

From the time the sun came out until the sun set, Kakashi and the others were in the process of hurrying.

Only when it gets dark do we take a break.

"It's so boring, why didn't there be any enemies attacking along the way. Is this really a C-class mission? ”

From Konoha Village, until the next day, when it was almost noon, Naruto walked down the path of the forest and finally began to complain.

Along the way, the road can be said to be calm, not only enemies, but even beasts that can pose a threat to ordinary people have not seen a few.

"Stupid."

Kakashi didn't hesitate to punch Naruto in the head.

Naruto screamed in pain, holding his head, and began to jump on his feet, glaring at Kakashi with disgruntled eyes.

Kakashi didn't realize it, but said in a light tone, "Didn't you say it earlier?" Don't have too much expectation for C-level missions. And even if there is an enemy, it is to exclude enemies other than ninjas. Just be honest and hurry. ”

"But in this way, isn't it just a simple camping outside?"

Naruto asked rhetorically.

"It's a common occurrence in C-Class missions. Even if someone wants to disadvantage Mr. Dazner, they will have the self-knowledge to back down after discovering that we are ninjas. ”

Kakashi explained.

Then he looked up at the sky, where the sun's rays were partially obscured by the shade of the trees in the forest, but there was still a strong light shining down, making the environment in the forest brighter and less eerie.

"Alright, it's almost noon, let's settle the problem of eating on the spot, and Mr. Dazner needs to rest too."

Kakashi glanced at Dazna, who was already gasping for air, the other party's physical strength was about to run out.

"Grandpa, are you so weak?"

Naruto looked at Dazna with a smug gaze.

After hearing Kakashi say that he could rest, Dazna sat down on the ground and said to Naruto, "What a faux pas, little ghost, I'm not you ninja, and my durability is like a monster." I think my physical strength is a relatively strong type among ordinary people. It's you ninjas who are too unreasonable in this regard. ”

Dazner was right. Compared to the ninja, his physical fitness is indeed much worse. But among ordinary people, his physical fitness belongs to a very good level.

Even as he aged, his strong muscles still made him look strong.

"Alright, Naruto, don't fight with the elders. You and Sakura are here to protect Mr. Dazna, and Sasuke and I are going to get some firewood around to make a fire. ”

Kakashi stopped Naruto's play and ordered him and Sakura to stand by here to protect Dazna.

Sasuke and Sakura had no opinion and acted as Kakashi had ordered.

……

In the empty forest, the smell of wild beasts was occasionally felt, but Kakashi and Sasuke didn't care about this group of beasts in the forest, and began to look for firewood to make a fire and cook.

"Now, I said Kakashi."

Sasuke picked up the firewood as he looked up at Kakashi's back in front of him and suddenly spoke.

"Ah, what's the matter, Sasuke?"

Kakashi turned his head slightly to look at Sasuke.

"Who the hell is that Dazna?"

Sasuke asked.

"What do you mean?"

Kakashi's face remained unchanged.

"I don't believe that you, as a shinobi, didn't realize that there was something wrong with this Dazna. He said that he is an expert in bridge building, and he will soon build a sea-crossing bridge between the two countries for the navigation of the land of waves and the land of fire. This project must be huge and important. This is not an ordinary bridge-building expert. ”

In other words, there must be people from the two countries who are in this project.

Also, the mission level cannot be a C-level mission.

When it comes to the national level, even if it is only a small country, it should be issued an A-level mission.

"Our mission is only to eliminate the ruffians and samurai who may come over and cause trouble, and this is what Hokage-sama himself has taught. As for that Dazna, his identity is indeed different from that of ordinary bridge builders. He is a member of the Peasants and Workers of the Land of Waves, and he has come to cooperate with the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire. ”

Kakashi revealed a little bit of information so that Sasuke wouldn't be cranky here.

"Peasants' Workers' Regiment?"

"An organization that has flourished in the country of waves in recent years, but it has little to do with our mission. Once in the Land of Waves, we can complete our mission. As for the construction of the bridge, it was something that the daimyo should have considered. ”

In other words, they just want to make sure that the bridge building project can go smoothly and take out the enemies other than the ninja who come to cause trouble.

Even if there is an unexpected situation, there is still his upper forbearance, and there will be no big problems.

That's what Kakashi subtly meant to tell Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded slightly, thinking that Dazna deliberately hid some information and did not explain it all, but now it seems that it is not like that.

Konoha knew Dazna's intentions very well, so he asked Class 7 to join this mission.

Ordinary enemies, he and Naruto and Sakura can easily deal with them.

If it encounters an invincible existence, there is also Kakashi, the head of the dark department, who will personally take care of it.

Thinking of this, the worries in Sasuke's heart finally let go of a little.

He still has a lot of trust in Kakashi's strength.

Even if an enemy of the upper ninja level comes to attack from time to time, their seventh squad is enough to do it.

"Alright, the firewood is almost collected, it's time to ......"

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, the expression on his face suddenly moved, and he looked into the distance.

Naruto and Sakura were in that direction.

From that direction, the characteristic sound of battle after the exchange of weapons was heard.

Sasuke didn't think about it, and immediately put down the firewood in his hand and quickly returned to the stronghold.

When he returned to the stronghold, he saw seven or eight people surrounding Naruto and Sakura and starting to attack.

Each of these men was dressed in straw sandals and exotic travel clothes, and they had knives in their hands, and they had a fierce aura on them.

Warrior!

Although it was the first time I had seen real samurai, the images of these people fit well with the images of samurai drawn in textbooks.

Unlike ninjas who can use ninjutsu, samurai are also humans who can use chakra, but the chakra they use is used to strengthen physical fitness and sword skills.

As early as the end of the Warring States period, the samurai had completely declined, and their glory ceased to exist.

Therefore, the samurai can also be called a relic of the old times.

That being said, Sasuke didn't dare to be careless in the face of the samurai.

These samurai all carry a ferocious aura, and unlike the samurai who can only perform swordsmanship, these samurai are wandering samurai, who have not only seen blood, but also experienced real combat, and are not fancy samurai in behavior.

For Shimoshinobi, it is an opponent worth fighting.

"Sasuke! Hurry up and help, these guys want to do Grandpa Dazna badly! ”

Naruto, who picked up the blade that the kunai parried against the samurai's swing, found out about Sasuke's presence, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

Because these samurai attacked too suddenly, Naruto didn't use the shadow clone technique in the first place, and then he was forced into a desperate situation by the samurai with sword techniques, and there was no time to seal, so he can only use crappy physical skills to deal with it now.

Sakura also picked up the kunai on the side to fight the two samurai, and protected Dazna closely.

Although she is not very good at physical arts, she has a slight upper hand thanks to the ninja's combat ability far exceeding that of the samurai, and in a one-on-two.

But if this continues, Naruto's side will definitely not be able to support it first.

Judging that the situation was unfavorable to his side, Sasuke did not hesitate, and quickly entered the battle, his hands quickly sealed.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

The speeding fireball made several samurai who were fighting with Naruto suddenly scramble and flash to the side.

Naruto also got the opportunity to release the ninjutsu and began to tune the chakra in the group.

"The Technique of Multiple Shadow Clones!"

In an instant, more than a dozen Naruto rushed out of the smoke, picked up the kunai for combat, and surrounded five or six samurai regiments in the middle with the advantage of numbers.

"Now let me show you how powerful Uncle Naruto Uzumaki is!"

After saying that, Naruto's shadow clone swarmed up, and the momentum was menacing.

Kunai and katana collided incessantly, making a non-stop sound of metal clashes, and sparks flew everywhere.

Seeing that Naruto, who had used the technique of shadow clone, had already suppressed the wandering samurai in turn, Sasuke nodded slightly, and then looked at Sakura's side.

"Thunder away!"

The ground was instantly covered with a web of thunder and lightning, and the two wandering samurai who were fighting with Sakura suddenly screamed, and the katana also fell from their hands, and then they fell to the ground weakly, their bodies convulsed, and they lost their ability to fight.

Sakura-chan saw this with a sigh of relief on her face and cast a look of gratitude and adoration at Sasuke.

"Are you alright?"

Unlike Naruto, Sakura's combat ability is very weak.

Although the foundation of physical skills is more solid than Naruto's, when it comes to real fighting, Sasuke thinks that in the pure physical competition, Naruto must win in the end.

Not to mention that Naruto also has the art of shadow clone that can hit more and less.

Even if he gets caught up in Naruto's crowd tactics, it will be difficult to subdue Naruto.

"It's okay, and there's nothing wrong with Mr. Dazner."

Sakura shook her head, and then glanced at Dazna, who was protected by herself, and the other party was only slightly frightened and did not suffer any damage.

Sasuke nodded slightly, and turned his head to sweep towards the battlefield on Naruto's side.

The samurai have been completely defeated.

All the samurai were beaten by Naruto's shadow clone and their noses and faces were swollen, and they were tied up with ropes, and the end was very miserable.

"You're too late, Kakashi, the battle is over."

Sasuke looked in the direction where he had just come, Kakashi was late.

"Oh, I can't say that, a group of samurai who don't have much combat ability can be used as a training object for you. After all, it's a free trainer, and it's not good to waste it. ”

Kakashi walked over without the slightest guilt and said to Sasuke.

"Really? But this level is far from training, and even warm-up exercises for me are not enough. ”

Sasuke put his hands in his trouser pockets, his dark pupils, and glanced at the samurai who were still twitching on the ground, and the paralysis caused by the thunder and lightning had not yet disappeared from them.

"Doesn't that prove that you're good? Ordinary forbearance can't deal with this group of outlaws. ”

Kakashi said.

At this time, Naruto also ran over and smiled at Kakashi:

"How about it, Kakashi-sensei, I'm amazing, I'll knock down these guys at once!"

Kakashi glanced down at him and said, "From today onwards, strengthen the basic training of physical arts, if it weren't for Sasuke, you wouldn't have had a chance to use the shadow clone technique at all." ”

Naruto is a ninja who has obvious strengths and weaknesses.

Anyone who has fought with Naruto will quickly perceive the weakness of the opponent's weak foundation.

On the contrary, in terms of persistence, Naruto is quite terrifying.

In particular, the huge chakra in the body is like a light bulb lit up in the night, and it is difficult not to be noticed.

In the battle just now, if it weren't for Sasuke's use of the Fire Escape Technique, which forced the samurai back and gave Naruto a chance to breathe, the outcome would be unpredictable in Kakashi's opinion.

"What, I've done my best."

Naruto muttered slightly dissatisfaction with Kakashi's actions instead of complimenting him.

"Kakashi-sensei, what are we going to do with these samurai who attacked us?"

Sakura asked.

"Of course it's all settled, don't you want them to carry out a second attack? I didn't care, but next time they were better prepared...... You may not be able to stop it. ”

Kakashi glanced at Sakura and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Naruto and Sakura's bodies suddenly trembled, and there seemed to be a trace of unbearable expression in their eyes. From Kakashi's words, the two of them felt a genuine murderous aura, not joking.

As if feeling that his goal had been achieved, Kakashi took out the kunai and walked towards the samurai who had lost their ability to fight with a cold look in his eyes.

Sasuke watched all this silently, only feeling a slight discomfort, and then exhaled lightly, looking at the sky, his eyes more determined.

……

The atmosphere on the road suddenly became dreary for some reason.

Maybe it's because I've seen the cruel side of the ninja world, so Naruto and Sakura don't have a carefree conversation like before.

Naruto, in particular, was in a palpable mood for his sluggishness.

"Alright, don't worry about this kind of thing, Naruto, Sakura."

Kakashi walked over and touched Naruto and Sakura's heads, comforting them.

"Kakashi-sensei......"

"The samurai who attacked us were wandering samurai, and unlike the samurai who belonged to the regular system of the state, they made a living by robbing houses and houses, and each of them carried a lot of murders. Even if it is handed over to the official agency, their fate will be the same. ”

Kakashi explained.

"Is that so?"

Naruto looked up at Kakashi.

"Ah, you're true ninjas now, and there's no other way to do this than to get used to it. However, I believe that the two of you will not give up lightly here. ”

Kakashi had faith in the two.

"I see, Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura took a deep breath and responded solemnly to Kakashi.

"That's fine, let's find a town to rest tonight, and by the way, I invite you to have a big meal in the evening and change your mood."

When you're feeling depressed, eating can be an effective way to reduce stress.

Kakashi intended to use food to cut the discomfort in Naruto and Sakura's hearts.

Sure enough, hearing Kakashi's words, the expression on Naruto's face suddenly seemed to come to life, full of vitality.

"Kakashi-sensei."

"What?"

"I love you to death!"

“……”

Kakashi smiled slightly wryly at Naruto's nonsense.

This kid really doesn't seem to need any comfort.

Also, thinking of Naruto's mother's nervous personality, Naruto, who has also inherited this aspect of the characteristic, probably only needs to calm down for a while before he can transform himself.

However, since he decided to treat them to a big meal, Kakashi naturally didn't miss the appointment.

"You really love these imps, Mr. Kakashi."

Dazna leaned towards Kakashi's side with a drunken body, and the two of them were at the back of the team at this time, looking at the three Naruto in front of them, and slowly began to move forward, without deliberately speeding up the pace of going to the country of waves because of the previous attack.

"After all, this is not the war-like era of the past, and it is understandable that young people are a little squeamish. However, I can guarantee that these children are excellent. ”

Kakashi replied with a smile.

"Then I'll wait and see, after all, after arriving in the country of waves, the road may not be so easy. As you must know, the current situation in the country of waves, war may come soon. ”

Dazna was drinking, and his drunken appearance meant something.

"Mr. Dazner, we're only in charge of C-class missions. As for the rest, that's the work of the Thunder Light Regiment. ”

Kakashi said from the standpoint of a Konoha ninja.

Dazna nodded knowingly.

It's not so easy to get out of Kakashi's words.

In front, Sasuke walked side by side with Naruto and Sakura, but his mind was always on Kakashi and Dazna.

Thunder Light Regiment? Kakashi's voice was faintly transmitted through the air to his ears, and Sasuke's mind came alive.

Although he didn't know where the Thunder Light Regiment was sacred, Kakashi's appearance, for this C-class mission, seemed to have hidden something and didn't reveal it to him.

Interesting! The corners of Sasuke's mouth curled slightly.

He felt that it would be more interesting for him to solve the puzzle himself than to be told the answer directly.

I'm looking forward to the next trip to the country of waves, and even C-level missions won't let me get bored.

◎

On the coast that stretches from the country of waves to the land of fire is the construction site of the bridge.

A large number of workers can be seen working there, and the rumble of machinery can be heard from there from time to time.

On the railing of the shore, a small, cute baby-faced girl sits there, staring blankly at the endless sea.

He ignored the movement at the construction site, and when the workers saw the girl in a daze around the construction site, they did not dissuade the other party from leaving, but stayed away from the girl's existence.

While the girl was in a daze, footsteps came from behind.

"Is it the heart of the wind?"

The girl came back to her senses, but her head did not turn, but she accurately called the identity of the person who was close to her behind her.

"It's me, what are you doing here?"

A young man named Windheart, with aqua blue hair, stood behind the girl and asked her about her intention to sit on the railing.

"Ah, nothing, just an occasional desire to quiet down and look at the sea."

The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, and replied to Fengxin like this, the expression on her face was still dull, as if she was not in spirit.

"After that, it's time to do something serious. The prey has been caught from abroad, and this time it has turned around quite a bit. ”

Fengxin said.

"Well, let's go check it out. The work is done early, and I can go back to rest early. ”

The girl jumped off the railing by the sea, and now she looked even more petite and cute, who was not tall in the first place.

Fengxin didn't respond, but just took the lead in the front, leading the girl to a homestay stronghold along the coast.

In this B&B, there are five more people.

Four of them stood aside, waiting for the girl and Kazeshin to arrive.

As for the fifth, he was tied with ropes all over, and on his clothes, a purple waning moon was embroidered.

With a look of trepidation, he swept towards the girl who had just walked into the room and Fengxin.

"You...... Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Have I offended you in any way? ”

The captured man asked in alarm.

"Don't worry, we're ninjas of the Thunder Light Regiment, and we asked you to come over this time to ask you some questions. As long as you are honest, we will not harm your life. ”

One of the four men standing next to him answered.

"Thunder Light Regiment!?"

The captive man's face suddenly changed, and he looked at everyone in shock.

"That's right, we are the famous Thunder Light Regiment, and I am the leader Qiannai!"

The girl crossed her hands on her hips and introduced her identity to the man with a smug expression.

The captive man looked intently at the girl, as if to determine something.

"I did hear that the leader of the Thunder Light Regiment is a short ...... who is less than one and a half meters tall."

Before he could finish speaking, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped sharply, and a terrifying aura erupted from the girl's body, cold and piercing, interrupting his next words.

The man grunted and swallowed, and looked at the girl Chino in horror, as if he was not paying attention to stepping on the other party's pain points.

"What did you say just now, that my height is less than 1.5 meters, isn't it? I can hear it clearly. ”

Chino's lilac pupils instantly turned black, with a 'one' shape in the middle, and the whites of the eyes turned blood-red.

The timbre also became eerie, staring at the man's face with a dark gaze.

"No, no...... I just said nonsense! ”

The man hurriedly denied it, and cold sweat flowed from his face.

If he nodded in acknowledgement, he was sure that his head would move directly in the next moment.

The Thunder Light Regiment is one of the best bounty hunter teams in the underground black market, and being able to lead such a powerful team, even if it seems to be a harmless girl, it is definitely not a good kind.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Thunder Light Regiment to make such a resounding name in the underground black market.

Even if the other party is less than 1.5 meters tall.

"Alright, stop teasing him, Chino." Fengxin pressed Chino, who wanted to be furious, walked up to the man, and asked, "We came to you to ask you a question." You are a member of the Purple Moon Clan, I want to ask clearly, have you Purple Moon Clan, have you received a bounty task, what are you plotting on the side of the Wave Country? ”

"Bounty missions? The Land of Waves? ”

The man looked at Fengxin in astonishment.

Feng Xin and the others didn't respond, just silently watched each other's reactions.

The man quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know how you have this kind of misunderstanding, the matter of the Thunder Light Regiment taking over the country of waves is already known to everyone in the underground black market, and we who have fallen to the rank of third-rate mercenaries will not be able to take on any bounty tasks about the country of waves." ”

Chino took the other party's words and said, "However, recently, we have discovered that the ninjas and samurai belonging to the Purple Moon have begun to operate on the side of the country of waves. ”

"I guess someone is impersonating. You don't know, in fact, we Purple Moon Sect have recently begun to plan to wash our hands in a golden basin, and we are ready to find a place to live the rest of our lives in peace, and we don't want to live that kind of life of licking blood from the knife edge anymore. ”

Bounty hunters may sound like a glamour, but only those who have done this understand that bounty hunters are a more dangerous profession than ordinary ninjas.

When you die, when you live, you can't make your own decisions.

Coupled with the military suppression by the military of the Ghost Country a few years ago, the Purple Moon people were even more slumped, and all the core members were killed, leaving only three or two big cats and kittens, and they had long since extinguished the idea of revenge, and only thought about living the second half of their lives.

Chino and Fengxin glanced at each other and exchanged glances with each other.

"If you don't believe me, I can't do anything. I'm telling the truth, there are not only your Thunder Light Regiment here in the Land of Waves, but also the people of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and we Purple Moon people can't hide, so it's impossible to do a bounty task here. As for the Purple Moon Clans who are active in the Land of Waves...... Speaking of which, a month ago, someone paid a lot of money to invite us Purple Moon people to do something in the Land of Waves, as if they wanted us to come here to steal the manufacturing blueprints of some factory. ”

The man seemed to remember something.

"Who is the client?"

Chino asked.

The man smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know, because we refused the commission, and the client didn't talk to us further." However, if you want to know the identity of the principal, there should be some clues on the trading platform of the underground black market. As for what the platform says, it is unknown. With the reputation of your Thunder Light Regiment, it shouldn't be difficult to dig up some useful information from the platform. ”

"We'll consider your words, and in short, until the matter is settled, I'll ask you to stay here for a while. When we are sure that it is not you from the Purple Moon Clan, we will let you go. ”

Chino said as she looked the man in the eye.

"That's all there is to it."

The man sighed on his face, and he also knew that before the matter was settled, the people of the Lei Guangtuan would not let him go.

Leaving two people to watch him, the rest continued their search. Remember, don't put even a rat in it on the other side of the bridge. ”

Chino's doll face was covered with frost, and he said word by word.
