"By the way, Mr. Tazuna, you said you were from the Land of Waves, so are there ninjas from the Land of Waves?"
Sakura asked curiously on the wide, solid dirt road, bored.
"No, Sakura. Normally, there are no ninjas in a small country like the Land of Waves," Kakashi said, taking over the conversation to kill time during the boring journey.
"However, not all small countries lack ninja villages. On this continent, only five major nations have great ninja villages: Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, Kirigakure in the Land of Water, and our Konohagakure in the Land of Fire! Besides that, there are some well-known smaller ninja villages," Kakashi said, describing the ninja world under the surprised gazes of Sakura and Naruto.
It allowed the two to realize the true situation of this world for the first time.
Sasuke, already familiar with this, wasn't surprised at all.
As the three chatted and laughed, it quickly came to noon.
"Um?"
Sasuke's pace paused slightly.
The corner of his eye flickered across the puddle on the road, then glanced calmly at the clear sky.
'Here we come!' Sasuke thought, understanding instantly, adjusting his body angle, beginning to form hand seals.
This action made Kakashi, who had also noticed the clue, shrink his pupils, shocked on the spot.
Sasuke, have you discovered it?
Kakashi thought.
"Whoosh!"
Just a second after Kakashi passed the puddle, two figures broke through at high speed, rushing toward him.
When Naruto and Sakura were awakened by the sound and turned around, they saw Kakashi cut in two.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
The two screamed in surprise simultaneously.
Although the incident was sudden, Sakura rushed to Tazuna, protecting him behind her.
"The first one," the Demon Brothers shouted coldly, their eyes fierce, rushing toward Naruto, the closest.
Seeing this, Naruto's eyes shrank, trembling, his body stiff, unable to move, feeling the fear of death for the first time.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Sasuke's voice exploded.
A high-temperature fireball, five meters in diameter, passed Naruto at high speed, hitting the rushing Demon Brothers hard.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, the two were instantly enveloped by the fireball.
In an urgent situation, they released chakra, about to retreat at high speed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several shuriken flew from the fireball at high speed.
They arrived in front of the two instantly, the situation extremely urgent!
In a flash, a fierce look flashed in one Demon Brother's eyes.
He grabbed his companion, blocking his way, kicking him into the fireball while using the momentum to retreat quickly.
In an instant, the Kirigakure ninja was engulfed by a fireball hundreds of degrees Celsius.
"Nani!"
"That guy!"
Naruto and Sakura screamed, seeing the enemy turned to charcoal.
At that moment, they realized the cruel reality of ninja for the first time!
The so-called companions, in a life-or-death situation, were simply and ruthlessly abandoned!
In an instant, both deeply understood the true meaning of Kakashi's graduation exam.
"Escape!"
The surviving Demon Brother turned and ran without hesitation.
This team was too dangerous!
"Bang!"
As Sasuke prepared to chase, Kakashi appeared, slashing the man's neck.
One blow knocked him unconscious.
"Kakashi-sensei, you're not dead!"
Naruto shouted in joy, his face lighting up.
"It's a substitution technique," Sakura said, seeing wooden stakes nearby, instantly understanding.
"Sasuke, you did great! Sakura is also very good, she successfully protected the client," Kakashi said, praising Sasuke and Sakura, then turning to Naruto.
"That kid who was clamoring to become Hokage was so scared just now that he couldn't move! It seems Sasuke is indeed one step closer to becoming Hokage."
Kakashi teased exaggeratedly, making Naruto's face turn red.
Shame and resentment surged in his heart.
It was obviously Sasuke's first time facing an enemy, so why was he so decisive and brave?
Is this the difference between them?
How could he accept this?
"Poor performance," Sasuke said, rolling his eyes, unable to complain anymore, stepping forward to stand before Naruto.
"Yo! Are you okay, you coward?"
Sasuke said lightly, turning to leave.
Well, how could he miss such an interesting thing as slapping the protagonist in the face?
"Damn it, how can you be so arrogant! I will definitely not lose to you next time, Sasuke," Naruto shouted, jumping up in anger, expecting encouragement.
"Mr. Tazuna, you seem to be hiding something from us! The current situation clearly exceeds the level of the mission you issued," Kakashi said, staring at Tazuna with a slightly cold look, certain he had seen through the target.
The Demon Brothers' attack was obviously aimed at Tazuna!
"Thisā¦"
Tazuna's old face was embarrassed, guilty, unable to speak, forced to confess.
Without Sasuke's involvement, Naruto still exploded as in the original plot.
The mission continued.
After the Demon Brothers' assassination, everything went smoothly, and the group set foot in the Land of Waves the next morning.
On the way, they learned about the existence of Gato.
"Enemy!"
Naruto, leading the way, suddenly threw a kunai, shouting solemnly.
Everyone's faces changed, nerves tensing.
"Naruto, please stop playing tricks! Look what you've done," Sakura yelled in annoyance, seeing a white rabbit stabbed by the kunai.
"Huh? Rabbit! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Naruto said, his face falling, grabbing the rabbit awkwardly, apologizing repeatedly.
'Here he come!'
Sasuke thought, ignoring Naruto's antics, his alarm bells ringing, limbs tensing, ready to attack.
At the same time, Kakashi looked at the rabbit thoughtfully, solemnly.
"Get down quickly!"
Kakashi's warning exploded in everyone's ears.
Sasuke, prepared, tripped Tazuna instantly, while Naruto and Sakura lowered their heads.
The next second, the sharp beheading blade flew past, chopping fiercely into a tree trunk.
With a whoosh, a figure appeared, standing at the hilt with a cold look.
"Ouch! Who do I think it is! It's Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist," Kakashi said, his pupils shrinking, pretending to be serious.
Despite the joke, he lifted his forehead protector, revealing his scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.
"Sharingan! So that's why the Demon Brothers' assassination failed. I didn't expect this mission would be escorted by the rumored Copy Ninja Kakashi."
Zabuza said, his eyes colder, voice icy, seeing the scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.
The battle was about to begin.
