Escape From Konoha

In the endless wilderness, a giant white bird flew rapidly over the wilderness, flying in the direction of the setting sun.

On top of the huge white bird, two figures, one tall and one short, stood.

The figure with a slightly taller figure is a teenager who is only fifteen or sixteen years old. His appearance is still a little immature. His hair is a rare dark golden color. His left eye is slightly covered by the drooping hair. A telescope can help you see far away even from high in the sky.

The slightly shorter man seemed to be crawling on the back of a bird, half of his face was covered with a black cloth, and the other half of his face was extremely fierce and rough, like an ugly collection, with a few hairs on his head, which made him even more obvious. Ugly attitude.

The two of them were wearing coats with black background and red clouds. They stood motionless on the back of the bird. From a distance, they looked like an artistic combination of beauty and ugliness.

"In other words, the goal of this mission is just to be careful about the opponent's sound illusion, right? Hmm."

Deidara, who was standing on the bird's back, spoke, and his voice reached the scorpion's ears.

"That's something you should consider after resisting the visual illusion of sharingan. When fighting the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, you must first consider how to avoid the visual illusion of sharingan. If you forget this, be careful to be exploded by your own bomb die."

Xie said coldly that in his opinion, Deidara's strength was indeed a genius with outstanding abilities compared to his peers.

When he was only twelve years old, he officially joined Akatsuki and became a core member. He was even younger than Itachi, which shows that Deidara's talent is very high.

But there are also many flaws that young and famous ninjas should have - arrogance and arrogance.

Overconfidence in abilities can easily become a weakness that others can exploit.

It was also because of this that Nagato teamed up with him.

In the organization, he is one of the few ninjas who can analyze the battle situation calmly.

No matter what difficulties he faces, his ability to judge the situation is second to none.

Because he is a doll with only wisdom and no human reason.

On the contrary, Deidara is more like a living person with a lively and active personality, but because of this, his weaknesses are easily exposed to the enemy.

"It doesn't matter. In order to deal with the Sharingan's genjutsu, I have already trained seriously. Yes."

Deidara pointed to his left eye, the smile on his face was very confident.

"That fellow Orochimaru had the same idea as you in the past, so he lost to Sharingan. No matter how confident you are, don't look directly at Sharingan."

The reason why the Blood Succession Limit is so powerful is not that it can be completely resisted just by training.

Especially the unreasonable blood inheritance limit of Sharingan.

One-on-one, you must escape. This sentence is the best explanation when facing Uchiha ninjas.

Such words can be spread among the ninja world and endure for a long time, which shows that ninjas respect and respect the Sharingan.

In the past, many ninjas who were confident in their genjutsu abilities lost to Sharingan genjutsu for this reason.

"Yes, I understand."

Deidara said in a perfunctory tone.

"Deidara, if you die, I will not be responsible for collecting the body."

Scorpion's voice was hoarse and low, extremely unpleasant to hear.

This mission involves tailed beasts, and the agreement with the Kingdom of Demons may not necessarily come into effect.

No matter what, be prepared for the worst.

"Very good, today's mission has ended successfully. Then, let's continue working hard tomorrow."

In front of Konoha's Hokage Building, Kakashi encouraged the three Narutos a little, so he was about to turn around and enter the Hokage Building, and submit the D-level task completed today.

"I said, Mr. Kakashi, when can we do more difficult tasks? Since I learned to climb trees, I have been doing some boring tasks."

Naruto's voice of dissatisfaction came. At the beginning, he could still have enthusiasm for D-level tasks, but after a long time, this enthusiasm began to decline rapidly.

Now I am getting impatient, hoping that Kakashi can be of some use and get a more difficult task from the Hokage.

"It's only been a month since you officially became genin. According to my plan, you should do D-level missions for another half a month... huh?"

Kakashi saw that not only Naruto, but also Sasuke and Sakura seemed to agree with Naruto's meaning, so he couldn't help but stop talking and scratched his head.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Kakashi spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, I got it. I will tell Hokage-sama later that I will take you out tomorrow to perform a C-level mission. After you go back, you must be prepared, especially It's you, Sakura. You take the money first, and go to the pharmacy later to buy some medical medicines. Your medicines in the previous mission are almost used up, so it's time to replenish them."

With that said, Kakashi took out his wallet and gave some money to Sakura.

Sakura took it very politely.

As Kakashi said, the medicine she bought had been used up long ago.

Even on D-level missions, injuries may occasionally occur accidentally.

What's more, this is an outing mission, and the medical supplies prepared must be more complete than before.

After there were too many medical supplies, it was no longer something Sakura could bear alone.

Naruto clasped his hands behind his head, and said nonchalantly: "There's no need to thank Mr. Kakashi, this guy has taken half of our salary for a while, and he should pay in advance."

"I'm talking about you..."

Kakashi looked at Naruto speechlessly.

However, he didn't mean to blame Naruto, and it was just some simple medical supplies that didn't cost him much.

He has always had mixed feelings about Naruto.

Seeing this face, he felt nostalgic and very guilty.

No matter what the purpose of contacting that man who was like sunshine in the first place, I had inherited a lot of love from him.

However, the man who was as bright as the sun was no longer there.

Because of this, he sometimes couldn't look directly at Naruto's existence.

"Then, at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, you all come to the building to gather and go through the procedures for leaving the village."

After saying that, Kakashi waved his hand, walked into the Hokage building, and disappeared from the sight of Naruto and the others.

After separating from Naruto and the other three, Kakashi went to the Hokage's office in the building alone and met with the Third Hokage.

After submitting the D-level tasks completed today, Kakashi said: "Master Hokage, starting from tomorrow, I think our seventh class can perform more difficult C-level tasks. Is there any suitable C-level tasks recently?" Can the task be completed?"

For a large-scale shinobi village of Konoha's size, task entrustment would basically never be completed. Especially the C-level and D-level basic missions corresponding to chuunin and genin, there are already a lot of them.

Therefore, Kakashi was not worried that Hiruzen would not have any suitable C-level tasks to complete.

After hearing Kakashi's words, Hiruzen was a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved.

Under Kakashi's guidance, Team 7's strength has grown very quickly compared to other genin groups.

And at the end of a day, you can basically complete two to three D-level tasks. Sometimes if you do it quickly, you can complete four or five D-level tasks in a day.

This is all thanks to Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique.

Accumulated this month, except for the few days of training, the seventh class has completed nearly fifty or sixty D-level tasks, while the rest of the teams have completed less than thirty D-level tasks.

The gap is nearly double. The four members of Team 7 led by Kakashi are vaguely nicknamed the ‘Mission Maniacs’.

Even for D-level tasks, completing fifty or sixty in a month is still an exaggerated achievement.

With the accumulation of D-level mission experience, Class 7 has reached a bottleneck and needs more difficult missions to break through its own growth.

Hirizhan took a deep breath, smoked the pipe, and then exhaled the smoke ring. After some contemplation, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said unhurriedly: "In this case, starting tomorrow, the seventh shift will start. Let's carry out the C-level mission. It just so happens that I just accepted a C-level mission here, which is very suitable for you, Class 7, to complete."

"What's the mission?"

Kakashi asked.

Hiruzen took out a scroll and placed it in front of him.

Kakashi took a step forward.

"excuse me."

He picked up the mission scroll, opened it, and quickly scanned it, with cold sweat streaming down his face.

He carefully asked, "Hokage-sama, are you sure this is a C-level mission?"

Hiruzen definitely nodded and looked at Kakashi with a meaningful look.

"You should understand the purpose of asking you to go to that place. Things in the Kingdom of Waves cannot be compromised. I am not worried about Tenzo going there alone."

"..."

Kakashi fell silent.

After a long time, Kakashi nodded solemnly.

"I understand. I will take good care of the three of them."

Hearing Kakashi's promise, Hiruzen also breathed a sigh of relief, and a reassuring smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Then this C-level mission will trouble you, Kakashi."

◎

At seven o'clock the next morning, the sun had just risen.

According to what Kakashi said, the three genin from Team 7 came to gather in front of the Hokage Building.

After finding the relevant personnel and going through the formalities of leaving the village, it also means that the seventh class has finally ended the boring and boring career of D-level tasks, and has the ability to perform C-level tasks.

"Kakashi-sensei, let's carry out the mission quickly, I can't wait now!"

Naruto looked excited and couldn't help but want to carry out the C-level mission as soon as possible.

This is the first time he has left Konoha in his grown up life. For him, this is a very rare experience.

Sasuke and Sakura were similar, but they were both able to restrain their emotions, even if they were excited, they didn't show it on their faces. Looking at Kakashi, Sasuke asked:

"Kakashi, what is the content of this C-level mission?"

In order to perfectly complete the first C-level mission in his life, Sasuke prepared quite a lot of ninja tools last night.

Although he knew that he would not meet ninjas in C-level missions, he couldn't help but prepare a lot of ninja gear with excitement. His enthusiasm for C-level missions was no lower than Naruto's.

Kakashi glanced at him and said, "It's a protection mission."

"Protection mission?"

Sasuke mused.

Naruto asked happily: "Protection mission? Are we required to protect the princess?"

"Idiot, Naruto, if this mission is to protect the princess of a country, then it is at least the beginning of an A-level mission."

Sakura reminded.

Unlike Naruto, Sakura's knowledge of ninjas is still very complete.

Although protection tasks are generally C-level tasks.

But the people who need to be protected in C-level missions are ordinary people or businessmen.

If it is a famous name of a country, a princess or a prince, it will basically start as an A-level mission, and may even evolve into an S-level mission.

The difficulty may not be high, but the level of status determines the initial level of the task, and it is impossible to achieve a true balance.

And people who reach that level of status cannot lack this commission fee.

Since it is a C-level mission, the person being protected must not be a noble person such as a princess. Sakura guessed that the people they were protecting this time were either ordinary people or businessmen. And if it is a businessman, it will only be an ordinary small businessman.

If they are a big businessman, they may entrust the Ninja Village to issue B-level missions and let ninjas above Chuunin protect their lives on the way.

"Sakura is right, Naruto, you don't have to think about protecting the princess."

Kakashi patted Naruto's head.

"Then where is the person we want to protect?"

Naruto asked.

Although the person he was protecting was not a princess, Naruto was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.

Kakashi turned to look aside and said, "The other party is already here."

Taking a closer look in the direction Kakashi was looking, the smile on Naruto's face suddenly disappeared, and his expectations were gone.

Sasuke and Sakura also looked similar, but compared to Naruto, the disappointment on their faces was not as obvious.

Walking towards them was a drunk old man holding a half-filled bottle of wine.

He was wearing exotic travel clothes, and on his head was a kind of hat with a pointed top and a unique shape.

He drank alcohol early in the morning, and drank until he was drunk, which directly minimized the impression of Naruto and the three of him on him.

"Tch, he's a bad old man who got drunk this morning."

Naruto said bluntly.

The drunken old man glanced at Naruto and the others.

"Are you the ones protecting me this time? What the hell, they're all a bunch of young brats, and the shortest one not only looks stupid, but also speaks like he's uneducated."

His words directly made Naruto's fist harden.

Because he is the shortest person in the team.

Even as a girl, Sakura is a little taller than him.

"Damn it, you bad old man, I'm going to kill you!"

Before Naruto could rush forward, Kakashi grabbed him by the collar and intercepted him.

"What do you want to do? This is our client. Do you want to kill him and still carry out the mission? This is the C-level mission you have always dreamed of."

"If I'm protecting this kind of person, I might as well go on a D-level mission."

Naruto stopped his urge to hit and crossed his arms over his chest, as if he was seriously considering the matter.

"Once you accept a mission, it's impossible to withdraw."

Kakashi glanced at Naruto and told him that it was impossible to cancel the mission at this time.

Moreover, there are all kinds of people who come to Ninja Village to entrust tasks. Kakashi has seen even weirder and worse people than this.

It can only be said that as genin, the three Narutos are still not strong enough, and their understanding of the outside world is too one-sided.

This mission can be used to broaden the horizons of the three of them.

"Yes, I paid. Although they are a bunch of brats, but since they are ninjas, they will work hard to complete the work."

The drunken old man laughed.

Naruto cut again. Although he was dissatisfied with the other party's previous attitude, he also acquiesced to the rule of protecting the other party at all costs.

After everyone calmed down, Kakashi took the initiative to introduce the old man to Naruto and the others.

"This is our client, Mr. Dazuna from the Country of Waves. He is a master of bridge building in the Country of Waves. Our task is to protect him from returning to the country and ensure that he is not disturbed by external factors while building the bridge. That's us That’s the mission this time.”

Kakashi briefly explained the origin of the other party and what he was going to do in this mission.

"Are you a master at building bridges? However, if you are just building a bridge, why do you need to let ninjas go over to protect it?"

Sasuke asked not understanding.

Dazna said: "Because the bridge I built will lead directly to the Land of Fire, it has offended the interests of some people. Recently, there have been more gangsters and wandering warriors wandering around the construction site. I need you. The ninjas of Konoha, help me clear away the gangsters and wandering samurai who are troubling the bridge construction work."

"That is to say, there will be battles during the mission, right?"

Sasuke curled up the corner of his mouth, looking eager to try, and his hands were already itching.

"That's right. Forget about ordinary gangsters. Those wandering warriors are not good people. Some warriors have even committed murder cases."

Dazna replied.

As soon as the word "murder" came out of his mouth, the atmosphere in the air became slightly heavier.

The so-called "passing a murder case" refers to a samurai who has killed someone.

Naruto and Sakura's expressions became slightly unnatural.

Sasuke looked normal and was not frightened by Tazuna's words.

"Okay, you two, take it easy, and I'm a Junin. And the strength of wandering warriors is generally not very strong. With your strength, be careful, and it won't be a big problem to deal with it."

Kakashi comforted.

Naruto and Sakura felt much more at ease now.

"I hope so. These brats are unreliable. Then you, the second generation White Fang, will be needed to help."

Dazna was not at all vague when it came to summoning people.

When Konoha accepted his money, of course it had to follow his rules.

As for Kakashi, he was vaguely afraid.

After so many years, he is no longer an ordinary bridge builder.

He is also familiar with the famous and powerful ninja in the Land of Fire.

Among them, Kakashi is among the best.

He didn't know Konoha's reason for placing such a level of ninja in the land of waves openly and aboveboard. In short, everything needs to be careful.

Thinking of the strength of the ninjas of the Lei Guang Group, Dazna felt at ease again.

Regarding this, Kakashi didn't justify anything, and nodded in agreement.

After a little reorganization, the seventh squad led by Kakashi also officially began to carry out the task.

At the checkpoint at the main entrance of the village, the outgoing permission document was handed over to the corresponding Konoha ninja for review. After the review, the group of five people walked in the forest outside Konoha Village, heading towards the Country of Waves.

Seeing Naruto looking around blankly on the road, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face, but in Dazuna's opinion, there was always a sense of stupidity in his look.

"Is this kid okay? Doesn't feel like a ninja."

Dazna took a sip from the bottle and questioned Naruto's ability as a ninja.

No matter how you look at it, Sasuke and Sakura are more trustworthy and reliable as both Genin.

"Don't worry, Naruto is quite reliable at critical moments."

"In other words, he is the type who usually loses the chain?"

Dazna said with interest.

Kakashi smiled awkwardly.

Afterwards, he glanced secretly towards the darkness of the woods, but no one noticed.

Not only Anbu, but even Danzo's people were dispatched. Kakashi thought to himself.

Escorting Dazna to build a bridge in the Land of Waves this time is only a superficial task.

The real mission is carried out jointly by ANBU and NINBU ninjas.

The third generation placed him in the Country of Waves in the name of a C-level mission, also to prevent the ninjas from the Country of Ghosts from jumping over the wall and making some irrational actions.

In addition to him, there were probably other Konoha jounin who rushed to the Country of Waves last night one step ahead of schedule and arranged their operations in advance.

Having suffered several losses from the Kingdom of Demons in a row, Konoha's actions against the Kingdom of Demons have become more cautious every time. They would rather make more arrangements than be in a hurry when unexpected events occur.

This was not unexpected by Kakashi.

However, all this has nothing to do with him at present.

His task is only to protect the end of Dazna's bridge building.

The divided battlefield will not affect his mission.

The only thing to pay attention to is the fourth unknown force that has intervened in the Kingdom of Waves.

I just don’t know which country is behind this unknown force operating behind the scenes in the name of the Purple Moon Crowd in the underground black market.

"Speaking of which, why did Tazuna come to Konoha to entrust us with a mission? Mr. Tatsuna is from the country of Waves, right?"

Sakura asked curiously on the way.

Tazuna took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked drunk. Under the equally curious gazes of Sasuke and Naruto, he said to Sakura: "It's not a big deal, we are the country of Waves. A country without ninjas. If you want to seek help from ninjas, you can only entrust ninja village organizations from other countries. As for why you came to Konoha... that's because Konoha belongs to the Country of Fire, and we, the Country of Waves, are now planning to negotiate with the Country of Fire. The two countries established diplomatic relations and built a cross-sea bridge directly to the Land of Fire. Although this is only a C-level mission, the reward I paid is much more than the average C-level mission. This is because the meaning behind building the bridge is different."

"That's it."

Sakura nodded knowingly.

"Yes, after all, it is one of the best ninja villages among the six major countries. Whether it is reputation or strength, Konoha is a trustworthy ninja village."

Dazuna's words also recognized Konoha's ability.

"Six major countries? Isn't it the five major countries?"

Naruto was surprised.

"The five great powers were a thing of the past. Three years ago, the number of great powers in the ninja world increased to six. The sixth great power is the Demon Country in the west. You have some understanding of this common sense issue that keeps pace with the times. Come on, Naruto."

Sakura sighed helplessly.

"I see."

Naruto nodded. Although he didn't quite understand why the power would be increased to six, he was definitely right to nod and pretend to understand at this time.

Sasuke was at the back of the team, glanced at Tazuna's back, and then quickly lowered his head, as if he had done nothing.

There is only one thought in his mind now——

This client, Dazna...has a problem!
