"It's very simple. Naruto didn't show any signs of noticing the enemy. Instead, he calmly ate here, forcing the enemy to expend a lot of energy to remain hidden."
"Naruto even exploited the enemy's psychology, placing the fire in a location that they wanted to move from but could barely endure, tormenting them both mentally and physically. It's a truly excellent tactic."
Kakashi commented point by point, his words insightful. Sakura and Sasuke looked at Naruto with surprise.
"I didn't expect such a strategy."
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, feeling frustrated. He understood that he had lost this time, and he felt a little disappointed.
"Don't be down, Sasuke. If you had discovered the enemy beforehand, you could have defeated them too. Naruto is a sensory ninja, that's why he found them first," Sakura said softly, trying to comfort him.
"Yeah."
Sasuke thought about it. If he'd discovered the enemy first, he might have performed better than Naruto, since he wasn't exactly lacking in brains.
Thinking this, Sasuke's mood improved.

"Alright, let's interrogate these two rogue ninja and find out what's going on," Kakashi said, dragging the two ninja over to a large tree. He tied them up and prepared to interrogate them.
Naruto wasn't paying attention to what was happening.
He'd already absorbed the experience orbs from the two rogue ninja, and he'd gained a total of 50 experience points along the way.
Feeling pleased, Naruto's consciousness entered the lottery interface, contemplating whether to try his luck with a draw.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. Because through testing, Naruto knew his approximate strength.
Actually.
These two rogue ninjas were Zabuza's subordinates. One was called Meitou, the other Gouzu, and they were nicknamed the "Demon Brothers." Their strength had already reached the Chunin level.
However, their strength was as weak as insects in front of him. Naruto didn't even feel interested in fighting them, and he also vaguely guessed his own strength.
"Since the opponent is so weak, should I do something? I'm short on money right now. I remember that Gato seems to be a very wealthy man," Naruto muttered inwardly.
When he was watching the original story, Naruto had a clear memory of this part of the plot with Zabuza, especially remembering that Kakashi had said that Gato was a famous wealthy man in the ninja world. And if he could get his wealth...
Naruto looked at his personal space, feeling that he could fit a lot of money in it, and his lips instantly curved into a smile.
Time passed slowly, and the details of this mission were finally clarified.
Sasuke and Sakura also understood that this mission was extraordinary, and they were considering whether to continue the mission.
Finally, after discussion, the mission continued, and they set off again towards the Land of Waves, but…
Because Tazuna was an ordinary person, their travel speed wasn't fast.
Coupled with the distance between Konoha and the Land of Waves, it was really far for an ordinary person, so this journey took a lot of time.
Fortunately, Sasuke and Sakura could constantly generate experience points, and when they arrived at the Land of Waves, Naruto had also gained a lot from this mission.
Considering that exchanging blood would cause his hair to change color, Naruto didn't immediately exchange it. Of course, if he encountered certain situations, he would exchange it immediately and then explode!
Land of Waves, in a certain shadow.
"Haku," wearing a mask, looked at Zabuza quietly and said softly, "I'll go with you. After all, they are Konoha ninja."
"No need. Don't forget my Silent Killing Technique," Zabuza said proudly, carrying the Kubikiribōchō.
With the Silent Killing Technique and the Hidden Mist Technique, he could handle any enemy with ease, even easily kill them.
This was the absolute confidence he had after countless battles.
"That's true, your Silent Killing Technique is indeed very strong." Haku bowed slightly.
"Alright, I'll go take care of them." Zabuza waved his hand and vanished like lightning.
Haku watched Zabuza leave, a sense of unease creeping into their heart, a feeling that something was about to happen.
Go, even if it's just to hide in the shadows.
Swish!
In the Land of Waves, in a forest near a water source.
Kakashi and the others were walking quietly, advancing across the lush green grass.
"Be careful, the trees here are dense, and we might encounter an enemy attack, so be vigilant." Kakashi reminded them in a timely manner.
"Understood, Kakashi-sensei."
Sasuke nodded, his expression becoming serious as he prepared to perform well if a fight broke out.
Whoosh!
A kunai was suddenly thrown, rocketing from Naruto's hand towards a nearby tree.
Sakura saw this and thought Naruto was carelessly throwing kunai around, and quickly warned him.
"Naruto, don't just throw kunai around, what if you hurt a civilian?"
"Heh!"
Naruto sneered, turning his head towards the tree. "Come out, if you're here."
"What?"
Sakura was taken aback by this, and only then did she notice Kakashi's alertness.
Swish, swish, swish!
The massive Kubikiribōchō spun through the air, carrying the power to cleave through anything, and hurtled towards Naruto.
Thud!
The great sword embedded itself in a large tree. Zabuza appeared with a flourish on the handle, then turned his head to look at Naruto.
"A sharp little brat."
Zabuza glared coldly at Naruto. The location he had chosen to hide was extremely concealed, and the distance was also a good one, yet he hadn't expected to be discovered so easily by a mere child.
The key was that the speed of the kunai throw had been very fast, almost injuring him. Fortunately, he had dodged in time.
This was also the reason why he had been staring intently at Naruto after his entrance. "An interesting little brat, but only interesting, nothing more."
Zabuza gave a cold laugh. He had killed countless geniuses, countless strong individuals, some with extremely strong mental fortitude.
Therefore, although he acknowledged that Naruto's previous performance was good, what of it? He could simply kill him.
So, Zabuza wasn't paying attention to Naruto anymore, but turned his head to look at Kakashi, who was leading the team.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi? This is a bit troublesome. Looks like I'll have to kill you."
Whoosh!
Zabuza's figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he was already on the water's surface, stepping on it while forming hand seals.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"
A thick white mist began to spread, enveloping the area and affecting everyone's vision.
"Be careful, this is the Hidden Mist Technique. It's very tricky when combined with the Silent Killing Technique."
Kakashi quickly warned, then looked at Naruto. "Naruto, can you sense the enemy?"
"Sense? So, you're a sensory ninja. But my Hidden Mist Technique contains chakra. Forget sensory ninjas, even the Sharingan will be seriously affected."
Zabuza's cold voice echoed all around, making it impossible to distinguish directions and pinpoint his location.
Sakura and Sasuke grew serious at this, and even Kakashi flipped up his forehead protector, revealing the Sharingan in his left eye.
However.
Kakashi still couldn't find Zabuza's location, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi, I've heard the name. Let's have a contest today, and see who is stronger."
Zabuza's cold voice reappeared, laced with a hint of challenge. It seemed he had noticed Kakashi was trying to find him, and he spoke again.
"It's useless. The Hidden Mist Technique can be a symbol of the Land of Water because its effectiveness has been tested countless times. You definitely won't find me..."
Whoosh!
A kunai was suddenly thrown out, and Zabuza's voice abruptly stopped.
Immediately following that, a furious voice yelled, "Impossible! How did you find my position? Impossible!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Clang! Clang! Clang! Sparks flew as Zabuza's figure abruptly appeared on a large tree, staring at Naruto with a look of surprise and suspicion.
"Kid, how did you find me? Even sensory ninjas shouldn't be able to detect me!"
"Well, I could tell you, but do you want the truth or a lie?" Naruto tilted his head.
"The truth, of course," Zabuza replied without hesitation.
"Alright, I'll tell you then."
Naruto suddenly became serious, and under everyone's curious gaze, he said, "Actually, you have body odor. I smelled it from a long distance away. It's really stinky."
Silence. Zabuza stood on the tree, dumbfounded, with veins popping on his forehead.
"Damn brat, you dare to make a fool of me?"
"No, no, no, I'm serious. You really do have body odor, you just can't smell it yourself."
"Nonsense!"
"If you don't believe me, ask others. They won't say it, but you can tell from their subtle expressions."
"Impossible, I'll kill you."
Whoosh!
