......

The next day, at 10 a.m.

Li Chuan stood on the shoreline, looking at the few people who walked out of the forest path, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"It's finally here!"

The white-haired, half-masked man with a forehead slab covering one eye is the elite Kakashi, and the old man in front of him is supposed to be Dazna, the bridge builder of the country of waves.

And around Dazna, the three eleven or twelve-year-old children who were in the line of standard ninja escorts, with black hair, yellow hair, and pink hair, were obviously Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura.

"Who? Let me Naruto-sama solve you this time! ”

Seeing Li Chuan standing there, Naruto, who was walking in the front, immediately took out the kunai and put on a combat posture, and Sasuke and Sakura were the same.

Not long after, they were attacked by two wandering ninjas.

"Don't be so nervous, you shouldn't be an enemy!"

Kakashi quickly glanced at Li Chuan, grabbed Naruto from behind, and carried him back.

He didn't sense hostility from Li Chuan, and he also recognized the one on Li Chuan's waist, the symbol of the ninja monk of the Fire Temple.

"You are... Ninjas in Konoha Village? ”

Li Chuan took a few steps forward, looked at Naruto's forehead, and pretended to be a little abrupt.

"Yes, we're on a mission, and you're a ninja monk from the Temple of Fire?"

Kakashi narrowed his dead fish eyes slightly.

Although the other party has the symbol of the Temple of Fire on his body, he still wants to confirm it.

"The little monk is indeed from the Temple of Fire, and now he is traveling, passing by here and wanting to go to the country of waves in front of him, but he found that there is no boat on the shore that can send the little monk over, do you know what is going on?"

Li Chuan nodded helplessly.

"What is the Temple of Fire?"

Naruto next to him looked confused, obviously having never heard of it.

And Sakura next to him pointed to his head:

"These are written in the books when I was in school, the Fire Temple is the only ninja temple in our Fire Country, and there are many monks who practice ninjutsu in it, and they are also our Konoha allies."

Konoha's education system is perfect, not only teaching basic ninjutsu and physical arts, but Naruto, a scumbag, is sleeping when he takes cultural classes, so naturally he doesn't know anything.

"The sea traffic of the country of waves has long been controlled by Cardo, and no one can enter or leave the country of waves without his permission."

At this point, Dazner stepped forward and explained.

"Cardo, the owner of the shipping company, the world's famous rich man?"

Kakashi on the side had a surprised look on his face.

Dazna nodded and sighed slightly.

"Now that you've come here, I'll tell you the truth, didn't you always want to ask me why I was attacked by wandering ninjas, and who sent the people who attacked me?

I'll tell you right now, it's this Cardo, because ......"

Then Dazner told the whole story.

It turns out that Cado indirectly controls the politics, wealth, and people of the country of waves by violently controlling the shipping of the country of waves.

In order to save the people of the country of waves, Dazna wants to build a bridge across the sea so that the people of the country of waves can be completely free from the control of Cardo.

It's a pity that halfway through the construction of the bridge, he was threatened by Cardo, and he had to go to Konoha to hire ninjas to protect himself and continue to build the bridge.

But because there is really not much money, I can only lie about the mission information and reduce the mission level.

"If you cancel the mission now, I'll be killed before I get home. But it's nothing, understandable, it's not your fault.

It's my eight-year-old granddaughter who will wash her face with tears all day long, and my daughter will always hate the ninja of Konoha and live alone.

Little monk, do you think I'm right? ”

After Dazna's performance, he also deliberately clicked on Li Chuan, who was very kind at first glance.

Li Chuan also lived up to his expectations, and nodded angrily:

"There are such vicious people in this world!

Mr. Dazna, don't worry, even if several ninjas in Konoha are reluctant to do so because of the reward, the little monk is willing to protect your safety with his life until the bridge is built. ”

Li Chuan's intentions were the same as Dazner's, so he naturally wanted to help him speak.

Kakashi and Naruto looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

At this time, they had to follow the normal procedure to cancel the mission with Dazna lying about the mission information, feeling like they had done some heinous bad thing, full of guilt.

Dazna didn't expect Li Chuan to be so kind, so he first thanked Li Chuan sincerely, and then looked at Kakashi.

The meaning is obvious, you look at the people, and then look at you.

Kakashi reached out and scratched his head, and finally looked at the three Naruto with anticipation in their eyes, and nodded helplessly:

"Alright, then let's continue to protect you!"

It's not that he can't see Dazna's little caution, he just wants to use this to train his subordinates, and besides, most of Cardo's men are wandering ninjas, and he doesn't pay attention to it.

As for the young monk who had just traveled out of the Temple of Fire, in his eyes he was a kind and scheming little monk, who was deceived by the acting skills of the old fox Dazner.

But to be honest, he also admired Dazna's behavior of risking his life to repair the bridge, otherwise he would not have agreed so easily.

"That's so grateful, I'll let my daughter cook you more delicious food when I go back at noon!"

Hearing Kakashi's promise, Dazna finally relaxed.

Although the little monk is kind, his strength is definitely not as powerful as the famous Konoha Ninja, and if the Konoha Ninja gives up the mission, then he can only wait for death.

"Wait a minute."

Dazna took a small whistle from his pocket, stood on the shore and blew it vigorously, and a very strange sound came out far away.

About ten minutes later, a young man drove a boat, carefully through the thick fog, and appeared on the shore.

"Mr. Dazna, get on board quickly, and go back as soon as the fog has not cleared, otherwise it will be troublesome to be discovered by the people of Cardo."

So, Li Chuan got on the boat with Kakashi and the others.

During the sea crossing, the four Kakashi and Li Chuan were also on the boat, introduced each other's names, and chatted briefly.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were just chatting, but Kakashi was chatting, constantly testing Li Chuan, as if to further verify his identity.

In fact, when performing such a mission now, it is not a wise decision to suddenly join an unfamiliar ninja.

But Li Chuan's identity is a ninja monk of the Fire Temple, and he originally planned to travel to the country of waves, and he was still in good intentions, so he couldn't refuse.

For Kakashi's temptation, how could Li Chuan not be able to detect it, but his identity was fine, so he was not afraid of Kakashi's temptation.
