Everyone looked at the place where Kakashi's body had been dismembered. There was nothing there other than a pile of broken wood. This meant that it wasn't Kakashi who had been dismembered from the beginning, but the pile of wood. It seemed like Kakashi had already discovered them from the very beginning.
Kakashi took a glance at the two people who were dressed almost exactly the same, especially the forehead guards on their foreheads."From the looks of it, you seem to be the Chuunins of Hidden Fog Village! Who are you?"
The two men did not answer Kakashi's question. Instead, they looked at Kakashi and said,""Why? How did you know we were hiding there?”
Kakashi shrugged helplessly." It's been sunny for the past few days. It hasn't rained at all. Isn't it strange that a puddle of water suddenly appeared on the road?"”
"Hey, I'm not sure. Since you found out, why did you let this kid do it?”Dazner looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi paused for a moment." Those two are just ordinary Chuunins. If I wanted to, I could kill them in seconds. But do you think I'm the only one who noticed? Naruto should have noticed as well. And this wasn't the first place they found it, right, Naruto?”As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, everyone's gaze focused on me.
I smiled bitterly." Ah, I did notice. When we just came out of Muye's door, these two people had already targeted us." It was just that he did not make a move at that time.”
"That's impossible. If you discovered us, why didn't you react at all when we attacked you for the first time?”The person on the left shouted. "Shut up!" Another person said.
"Big brother." The person on the left shouted and then fell silent. However, it seemed that these two were brothers.
The man who was called brother said,"It's not that he didn't retaliate against us. It was just that his companions destroyed it.”As he spoke, the man glanced at Sasuke. Everyone except Kakashi was stunned for a moment. At this time, the man continued,"I only just realized that when we attacked him, he was already holding Kunai in his hands. Based on his speed, I'm afraid that when we used the chains to trap him, we were only trapping a piece of wood, and he was already behind us. At that time, I'm afraid that he won't even need to use the Shadow Clone Technique to slice our necks open. However, the sudden appearance of his companion had caused him to be slightly stunned, and he was unable to carry out his original plan.”
"Oh!" Kakashi looked at the man who had been addressed as his elder brother in shock."Your observation skills are not bad." From a certain perspective, Kakashi's words affirmed his words. Sasuke was stunned for a moment before he gritted his teeth.
"Right, Teacher Kakashi, where did you go after you used the Substitute Technique?”Sakura asked Kakashi.
Kakashi pointed to a nearby tree and said,""I'm on this tree. I didn't come out immediately because I wanted to confirm one thing. Who was their target?”At this point, Kakashi looked at Dazner and said,""In other words, I want to know if these two people want to attack you, Mr. Dazner, or one of the four ninjas?”
"What?" Dazner was slightly shocked.
I smiled faintly." From the way these two people attacked, they definitely didn't want to attack one of us. They wanted to attack you, Mr. Dazner!" If they attack one of us, they will attack the target directly and retreat immediately after the attack is successful. After all, if they attack others first, it is very likely that the target will become alert and run away or counterattack. "But they didn't. After they attacked Teacher Kakashi, they continued to attack. This means that their target wasn't us ninjas who were escorting you, but you yourself, Mr. Dazner. As for why they attacked us first, it was because you were just an ordinary person. You definitely couldn't escape the ninjas 'pursuit. Moreover, you were in the middle of us at that time, so they couldn't attack you." Moreover, if they did not get rid of Kakashi Sensei, who was a Jounin, even if they managed to kill Mr. Dazner, they would not be able to escape.”
Kakashi nodded, then stared at Dazner indifferently.""Mr. Dazner, we didn't hear that you were targeted by ninjas. This commission is only a C-rank mission. The enemies should be those gangs and thieves. Our mission is to protect you to complete the bridge, but if ninjas appear, it should be a B-rank mission.”Dazner didn't say anything. He just lowered his head slightly and didn't dare to look at Kakashi. Kakashi continued,""Although it seems like you have some difficulties? However, you lied about the mission's level. This is very difficult for us. This situation is no longer a mission we accepted.”
"This kind of mission isn't something we can accept right now. It's better to give up!" Xiao Ying said fearfully.”
Kakashi nodded." Ah, that's it. Let's go back to the village first!"”
"Wait a minute." "If you leave like this, then I'll…" Dazner said hurriedly.”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dazner's current mission has exceeded the capacity of our team. A B-rank mission was not something a bunch of Genin could accept.”
"Teacher Kakashi, you're wrong.”I said calmly. Kakashi was stunned, as if he didn't know why I would say that. "This isn't a B-rank mission, it should be an A-rank mission."”Then, I went to the two brothers and said,"Kirin is a ninja who will complete the mission no matter what the price is. So, although the attack of these two people has been resolved by us, as long as Mr. Dazner is fine, Kirin will definitely send people again. This time, it was already a chuunin level ninja. The next ninja that came would definitely not be a chuunin, but...”
"Jounin!" I didn't say everything, but everyone understood what I meant. Kakashi nodded and looked at the two fog ninjas. They were looking at me in shock. Kakashi sighed and said,"Looks like the next enemy will be Jounin. It seems that we have to return to the village immediately.”
"Wait!" "I'll tell you the truth!" Dazner quickly said. I hope you can continue to protect me. Only you, who is also a Jounin, can protect me.”Dazner looked at Kakashi.
"It's good to hear it," Kakashi said indifferently.”
"In fact, what you said is right. Because there is a very powerful guy who wants my life.”"You should have heard of this guy, right?" Dazner paused. The president of the Kado Group, Kado."
"En, Kado!" "That Kado is one of the few super-rich people in the world.”
Dazner nodded and said," Ah, that's him. On the surface, he runs a shipping business, but in private, he uses ninjas and various underworld gangs to sell drugs and controlled products. He makes huge profits and even continuously invades other companies and countries. He's a vicious beast.”Dazner paused for a moment before continuing,"" A year ago, that guy took a fancy to the Country of Waves. With his wealth and violence, he controlled all the maritime transportation in the Country of Waves in the blink of an eye. For an island country like the Country of Waves, controlling all the maritime transportation is equivalent to controlling everything in the Country of Waves. However, Kado was not without fear. The only thing he was afraid of was the bridge that was still under construction. As long as the bridge could be completed, the Country of Waves would have a chance of survival. At the very least, he wouldn't be completely controlled by Kado.”
" I see," Xiao Ying interrupted." That's why Mr. Dazner, the master bridge-maker, is viewed as a thorn in his side."”Sasuke nodded and looked at the two ninjas tied to the tree.""En, it seems that these two ninjas were sent by Kado.”
Kakashi nodded." I understand. It's just that I don't understand. The other party is a dangerous fellow who even mobilized ninjas. Then, when you entrusted the mission, why did you hide this?”
Dazner shook his head and said," It's not that I'm deliberately trying to hide it. It's just that the Country of Wave is a super poor country. The people rely on the gift of the sea to barely live a self-sufficient life. However, we are still very poor. Even our daimyo doesn't have much money. Of course, I couldn't afford it. If I were to commission a B-rank mission, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to afford the handling fee. So, if you want to stop this mission, I'm dead. Perhaps it was on the way home, or perhaps it was during the construction of the bridge.”Dazner then laughed loudly and waved his hand."Hehe, it's nothing. Even if I die, only my ten-year-old grandson will cry his heart out.”Three black lines appeared on Xiao Ying's forehead. " Ah, right," Dazner said." There's also my daughter who hasn't recovered from the trauma of losing her husband. She will hate Muye's ninjas for the rest of her life." Then, the mother and son would live alone together. Of course, this is not your fault.”Three black lines appeared on Sasuke's forehead.
Kakashi didn't answer directly, instead looking at me. I smiled calmly. This is our first C-rank mission. If we fail this mission, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get a new C-rank mission from the village next time. Besides, the word 'give up' doesn't exist in my dictionary.”
"Forget it, let's continue with the mission. But everyone, be careful. Sakura, Sasuke, take care of these two ninjas." We'll leave first. Follow me as soon as possible." Then the three of us left, leaving Sakura and Sasuke behind.
