Chapter 33 The Ghost Sword Brothers, Biwa Juuzou and Zabuza! (Ch 33)

“Yoshi, now that the introductions between teammates are over, let’s go and take on our first mission commission.” Kakashi closed the orange-paged paradise in his hand and stood up.
Haruno Sakura stood up and patted her butt: “Don’t we need to conduct a practical test?”
Normally, it has been an unwritten custom of Konoha to have a practical test with the guiding jonin after the class division.
Kakashi explained: “That is to let the coaching jonin understand the strength of the team members and hone their teamwork awareness.”
“Sakura, you are a medical ninja and generally don’t have to participate in combat. I know the strength of these two guys very well.”
“Although they don’t like each other, they work together surprisingly well. Don’t worry.”
“Who can get along with this guy!” Naruto rolled his eyes and turned his head to the side.
Sasuke also snorted coldly.
This made Haruno Sakura doubt the truthfulness of Kakashi’s words.
But after all, he was once a ninja from the Anbu and would not say anything without any basis. The details will only be revealed in the subsequent missions.
“Okay, follow me.” Kakashi jumped down from the rooftop.
The three followed.
In the mission assembly hall, Kakashi was a little surprised to see Haruki sitting in the center.
“Yondaime-sama?”
Generally speaking, it should be the leader of the Jonin squad, Nara Shikaku, who should be here. Why is Lord Harumitsu here in person?
“Father?”
“Uncle Qingguang, why are you here?”
Sasuke and Naruto also exclaimed at the same time, with some surprise in their words.
Sakura, on the other hand, frowned slightly.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
“Shikaku is not feeling well today, so I’m taking his place today. After all, I’ve served as the monitor of the jonin squad before.” Harumi smiled.
“Minato has already arranged your mission. It’s a B-rank commission, which is enough for you to show your skills.”
“∑(〟OОO)Really…really!?”
Naruto stamped his feet excitedly. There was a rumor in the ninja school that the Genin who just graduated and entered the Ninja Academy could only do those boring D-level tasks.
He had originally thought about using his shadow clones to work harder and get through these hard days as quickly as possible, but he didn’t expect that their first mission would be a B-level commission!
“Hehehe~ I must show off my skills!”
Just as Naruto was grinning, a pungent smell suddenly filled the air.
“Alcohol… No, it’s wine?” Sakura turned around.
I saw a middle-aged man with untidy beard walking in, holding a pot of liquor in his hand. His steps were a little unsteady, and his skin was dark and rough.
“Hey, these little brats, can you really escort me back to the Land of Waves?”
“I’m paying for a B-rank mission. Usually only a Chunin is eligible to accept it, right?”
Kakashi stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: “Although this boy looks unreliable, his strength is still good. Moreover, with a jonin like me here, you don’t have to worry.”
“Is that so?” Dazna looked at the three little kids in front of him again through his reading glasses.
Until he saw the fan behind Sasuke, who was facing away from him.
Uchiha clan?
This stopped me from questioning any more.
No matter how ignorant he was, he had heard of the name of Uchiha. After all, the fourth Hokage Uchiha Harumitsu, who is recognized as the strongest person in the ninja world today, was from Uchiha.
It seems that what Kakashi said does not seem to be a lie.
As for that yellow-haired brat, forget it. There are still the senior ninjas here, so it doesn’t matter.
“In that case, let’s get going without further delay. I have to go back to build a bridge.” Dazna turned and walked out the door.
“Tsk, what an impolite old man.” Naruto felt Dazuna’s suspicious look and muttered something, but that was all.
Although he was a little unhappy with the old man’s attitude, Naruto also knew that during the mission, he had to show the most basic courtesy to his employer.
After leaving Konoha, Kakashi became the lubricant between Tatsuna and the three little ones, and gave a brief introduction to Tatsuna’s identity.
A craftsman from the Land of Waves, a famous bridge-building master in the ninja world.
Until Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura all noticed a puddle of water on the road ahead at the same time.
“How could water suddenly appear on the road on a sunny day? Isn’t this hiding technique too low-level?” Naruto raised the corners of his mouth and rushed forward.
“Shadow Clone Technique.”
The clone followed behind him, helping Naruto gather chakra in his palm.
“Rasengan!”
The Mist Ninja who was hiding in the water saw that he was discovered, so he rushed out and retreated waving the serrated chain in his hand.
boom!
A half-meter deep pit was left on the ground, and dust was everywhere.
Kakashi held his forehead and sighed helplessly.
Naruto is still as stubborn as ever. Knowing that the enemy is lurking, why doesn’t he take advantage of the situation?
“The enemy has the ability to turn themselves into flowing water. They are the Kirigakure’s Kizuna clan. Physical attacks are ineffective against them.” Sakura immediately mobilized the knowledge base in her brain to make a judgment and reminded Naruto.
“It’s too late.”
The next second, Naruto, who was standing in a deep pit, was wrapped in a water ball made of flowing water.
“Water Prison Technique!”
Several kunai were immediately fired from the nearby woods, hitting Dazina’s vital points from behind.
The Kirigakure ninja who used the Water Prison Technique to control Naruto was also preparing to crush Naruto with a long serrated chain.
“Be careful!” Sakura exclaimed.
She saw Naruto’s strength, at least at the level of a Chunin, but she was too impatient.
This is going to be trouble!
He didn’t notice the kunai behind him at all.
Clank, clank, clank!
Sparks flew and Sasuke instantly stood behind Tazuna, “Performing throwing techniques in front of the Uchiha clan?”
“Who gave you the courage?”
A two-magatama Sharingan appeared in Sasuke’s eye sockets, locking onto the figure in the woods in scarlet red.
The kunai flew into the air and stuck in the tree trunk.
Oh no, we’ve been discovered!
The kunai was stabbed next to the Kirigakure who was hiding in the forest.
But when he wanted to move, Sasuke bent the five fingers of both hands and pulled hard behind him.
“Look, this is the correct way to use a kunai!”
Several hair-thin steel wires instantly contracted, tying Wuyin to the tree trunk, making her unable to move.
“Naruto, have you had enough fun?” Sasuke asked coldly.
Sakura was stunned when she heard this. What did this mean?
In the water prison, Naruto, who was about to be cut into pieces, instantly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
“What!?”
And the inconspicuous stone behind the Mist Hideaway immediately turned into Naruto’s appearance.
“Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!”
The extremely exaggerated wind and waves directly dispersed the body of Wuyin in front of him, and it exploded into water stains.
No trace of the corpse was left.
Sakura was stunned by the exaggerated effect of this ninjutsu.
What kind of abnormal chakra amount?
“Sasuke, I won!” Naruto walked up to Sasuke proudly.
The next second, Kakashi fed Naruto a chestnut: “Idiot, how can we torture you for information if you are like this?”
“Also, why did you expose yourself when you could have easily outwitted them?” Kakashi criticized Naruto profusely.
The corners of Sasuke’s mouth curled up. He liked to see Naruto acting like a loser.
Make him happy.
“Teacher Kakashi, I already knew that Naruto wouldn’t be able to think of this.”
“But it doesn’t matter. I left him alive.”
Kakashi stopped talking after he finished this series, patted Sasuke on the shoulder, and praised him generously: “Well done.”
Sakura now understood why Kakashi said that the two of them worked very well together…
And Dazna also changed his previous attitude, which can only be said to be due to his shallow knowledge.
The ninjas of Konoha are just different. The Genin are so powerful, especially Naruto’s wind jutsu just now.
As powerful as the ninjutsu performed by the jonin.
Sasuke tied up Kirigakure, who had just been tied to a tree trunk with steel wire, and threw him in front of everyone.
Kakashi was already preparing to start interrogating him using the Anbu’s usual methods.
Then.
Sasuke grabbed the Kirigakure ninja’s head, looked at him with his two magatama Sharingans, and directly controlled the opponent with illusion.
“Okay, Kakashi-sensei, go ahead and ask.”
“Uh…hmm.” Kakashi silently put away the Senbon that he had just prepared.
Muscle memory, muscle memory…
Sharingan, it’s really convenient, it’s a pity that his former teammate Obito doesn’t have it.
He had never enjoyed the convenience brought by this thing, but now he was able to enjoy it thanks to his students.
Obito, you are such a disgrace!
Through questions and answers, Kakashi quickly found out the other party’s information.
“Sure enough, it’s that bastard Cardo.” Dazna gritted his teeth and said, “I knew he would send someone to assassinate me!”
“If possible, please tell us in detail about Cardo.” Kakashi was not very clear about the affairs of the Land of Waves.
After all, collecting intelligence in various parts of the ninja world was the Root’s mission at that time, and he used to be in the Anbu.
Forcing women of good families into prostitution, selling drugs, colluding with daimyo to exploit civilians, Dazina listed all of Kado’s crimes one by one.
“Only when the bridge connecting to the outside world is completed can the people of Wave Country see hope and other merchants will be willing to enter Wave Country.”
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Waves will be monopolized by that bastard Cardo, who will do whatever he wants.
Kakashi raised his eyebrows. It sounded like this was no longer a B-level mission. It concerned the future of the Land of Waves, so it was at least an A-level mission, most likely an S-level mission.
Teacher Minato really trusts himself and the abilities of these three little guys.
“Don’t worry, uncle. Since we have accepted this mission, we will definitely protect you until the construction of the bridge is completed!”
“I always keep my word. This is my ninja way!” Naruto vowed.
The group continued on their journey and spent several days reaching the eastern coast of the Land of Fire. After searching for a long time, they finally found a ship merchant who was willing to take them to the Land of Waves.
When approaching the Land of Waves, the boat merchant turned off the engine and stopped next to a mangrove forest: “Sorry, this is the only way to go.”
“Thank you.” After paying the commission, Dazina got off the boat with Kakashi and others.
Several people rested on the thick roots of the mangroves.
Apart from the vast expanse of sea, there is also a boundless sea of ​​fog with extremely low visibility.
“Why are there so many strange trees growing in the sea here?” asked Naruto.
“The area surrounding Wave Country is full of these mangroves, and merchant ships cannot enter at all. There are only a few narrow passages that can be used to enter.”
“But now it’s all occupied by Cardo, so I’m eager to repair the bridge.”
“But don’t worry, I have a plan.”
Dazna took out a strangely shaped whistle and blew it.
It made sounds like seagulls.
Not long after, a small boat emerged from the fog and stopped in front of the people.
“Uncle, it’s you as expected!” Naruto said in surprise.
“Shh, keep your voice down. I don’t want to be discovered by that guy Cardo.” The woodcutter warned fearfully.
Naruto shrank his neck, looking apologetic.
The boat passed through the mangroves and finally stopped on the shore, where the fog dissipated.
“Let’s go, we’re safe here.” Dazina finally let go of his worries.
Another two and a half hours’ walk and he would be home.
But just as they stepped onto the shore and left, two figures walked out of the fog.
The two men were tall, each carrying a large sword as long as their forearms and as tall as a person, and following behind them was a smaller man wearing a mask.
“Hmm~?”
“You brought three little brats with you. The Konoha ninjas really underestimated us, brother.”
“Don’t be careless, that guy, if I remember correctly, is Konoha’s Raiga, Hatake Kakashi, be careful.”
One of them had a bandage on his face, and the other had red facial lines on the lower half of his face. They looked very similar, like twins.
However, the two of them did not realize that there was a short figure beside them that they were unaware of.
“Konoha’s Raiga, Hatake Kakashi, it seems that Konoha has discovered what happened here, and we must go back and report to Master Konan.” Bai thought to himself.
He left immediately and formed a seal in a safe place.
“The Magic Lantern Body Technique.”
An illusory figure was projected in front of him through the ring on Bai’s hand.
“Angel-sama, Konoha’s Hatake Kakashi has arrived in the Land of Waves with three ninjas around my age. I suspect Konoha may have discovered Cardo’s deeds. Should I continue to try to recruit the Oni Blade brothers?”
Xiaonan fell into silence for a moment.
Those two were the ninjas that Nagato wanted to accept, but the current situation…
“As long as your personal safety is guaranteed, you can rescue the two of them and allow them to join the organization.”
“These two people are not necessary.”
Bai is an orphan she found in Kirigakure. His talent is terrifyingly strong. It is not worth it to die here for this pair of Ghost Sword brothers.
Besides, she also had some selfish motives.
She hoped that Shiro would come back alive, even if it was Nagato’s mission…
“Yes, Angel.”
…
Kakashi and his companions continued to move forward, but suddenly, fog slowly appeared around them.
“Uncle, didn’t you say that there will be no fog here?” Naruto asked again.
“Alas… After all, Wave Country is an island country on the sea. There are unpredictable weather conditions. It is not uncommon for the temperature to drop and fog to form in the afternoon.”
“But don’t worry. Even if it’s foggy, I know the way. I’m an old man, and I’ve walked this way countless times.”
Suddenly, Kakashi heard a slight noise.
He was very familiar with this voice.
It is the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air when it is flying or swinging quickly.
“Be careful!” Kakashi pushed Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto away, and with his other hand grabbed Dazuna and jumped up.
Snap!
Snap!
Two huge blades were stuck on the tree trunk.
Also appearing were two identically muscular figures.
