Class 7 and Class 9 protected Dazner as they continued on their journey. Dazner looked at Ichiro with resentment in his eyes. The sudden increase of hundreds of thousands of taels in debt made Dazner want to eat Ichiro alive. However, when he thought of Ichiro's powerful martial arts, Dazner could only vent his resentment with his eyes.
After a careful journey, the group finally set foot on the territory of the Country of Waves. Dazner's home was also very close. Escorting Dazner home safely was considered half of the mission. Now, as long as Dazner finished building the bridge, the mission would be completed. Everyone except Ichiro relaxed.
"The fog here is so thick!" Zheng Xiong muttered softly.
" Be alert. Protect Dazner."
Realizing that something was amiss, Kakashi shouted at everyone. At the same time, he lifted the forehead shield that covered his left eye, revealing the eye hidden under the forehead shield. It was a red pupil with three black magatama eyes.
When he saw Kakashi's eyes, Sasuke was very excited. He seemed to have many questions for Kakashi, but the situation did not allow him to do so. Therefore, Sasuke suppressed his curiosity and looked around warily.
"Dirt eyes? The eyes of the three magatama were not something that the Uchiha clan could use to such an extent. Kakashi was indeed worthy of being called a genius! It was a pity that this Shurakanyan restricted Kakashi.”
Ichiro, who knew that he would have appeared if he didn't kill Kakashi now, drew his katana from his waist and aimed it at Kakashi's left eye as he sighed inwardly.
" There are actually two teams of Leaf Ninjas guarding that old man. There's even a clone of Kakashi among them. No wonder the Ghost Brothers failed their mission. However, your luck has run out. If you know what's good for you, hand that old man over to me to kill. Otherwise..."
Hidden in the fog, Abrupt Slash's sinister voice came from all directions. When everyone heard it, Danazi's face turned pale in fear.
"Eight places, throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, subclavian artery, kidney, heart. Which vital point do you want me to attack?”No Longer Slash's voice, filled with killing intent, came from the fog.
"This is…Fog Invisible Silent Assassination. This is troublesome. Gale, take them and protect Dazner. I'll deal with this person.”
Kakashi, who was experienced and knowledgeable, immediately recognized the spell that No Longer Slash had cast. He pulled out his sword and looked around without any wariness. At the same time, he instructed Moonlight Gale.
"It's useless. You can't control my direction, but I know you like the back of my hand. You've fallen into my ninjutsu, and no one can stop me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared in the protective circle set up by Gale and the others. The beheading saber in his hand slashed at Dazner's neck without hesitation.
Clang!
Gale, who reacted in time, used his ninjato to block the beheading broadsword. Ichiro, who was the only one who could barely make a move under the murderous aura of No Longer Slash, slashed down at No Longer Slash's head with his tachi. Ichiro felt that his saber mark easily cut into No Longer Slash's head, but he realized that he was only slashing at No Longer Slash's water body.
"I won't kill the Fugitive Shura anymore."
Kakashi recognized Ano Longer, who had revealed himself. After confirming the identity of the enemy, Kakashi suddenly emitted a powerful aura. Blue chakras were released from his body, forming a powerful airflow that blew away the fog surrounding everyone, revealing the original scenery. Ano Longer was standing on a river.
"As expected of the famous Ninja Kakashi. What was the name of the guy who blocked me just now? Also, that little brat with the saber seems to be quite strong. Tell me your name as well. All of you will die under my saber.”
"Endure the moonlight and wind on the leaves."
"Yagyu Shoichiro."
"Very good, I'll remember you. We'll meet again very soon. The next time we meet, I'll cut off your heads.”
No Longsword, who was bare-chested and had his face covered with bandages, swept his gaze across everyone's faces. He pointed to the sky with one finger and formed a seal in front of his chest with the other."Ninja Fog Concealment Technique." Then, he disappeared into the fog.
No Longer Slash had wanted to complete the mission alone, but when he realized that there were two teams escorting Dazner, he decisively tested the strength of Kakashi and the others. After discovering that apart from Kakashi, there was also the little brat, Gale Jounin Kiichiro, who was good at using his sword skills, he temporarily retreated. The next time he came, Kakashi and the others would not have it so easy.
After the fog dissipated and they were certain that they would not be killed again, everyone let down their guard and walked towards Dazner's house with heavy hearts. Kakashi and the others had never expected a small C-rank mission. First, there were two Chuunins, and then there was an expert like No More Beheading. They did not know what kind of enemies would appear in the future. Kakashi was already considering whether to ask the village for help.
Sasuke and the others were silent. It was their first time facing a Jounin battle, and the murderous aura it emitted was so oppressive that they wanted to commit suicide. That feeling of powerlessness lingered in their hearts, and it was only now that they truly understood the difference between a Jounin and a Jounin. The desire to become stronger burned in their hearts.
Ichiro had also learned a lot from this battle. He understood what he lacked. The experience of life and death and the experience of fighting enemies were what he lacked now. Flowers in a greenhouse would never grow. Ichiro was already prepared to apply to leave the village for experience after the Chuunin exam.
Everyone arrived at Dazner's home with their hearts full of thoughts. They were warmly welcomed by Dazner's daughter, Jinami. However, Dazner's eight-year-old grandson, Ina, had a sour expression on his face.
Under Tsunami's warm hospitality, everyone's mood relaxed a lot. Kakashi and Gale also announced that they would guide everyone in their cultivation in the following time to improve their strength. This made Sasuke, Naruto, and the others look forward to the next cultivation.
Ichiro, who already had a clear goal in his cultivation, did not place much importance on Kakashi and Gale's guidance in cultivation. His eyes were completely attracted by the mature woman, Tsunami. His thirty years of experience allowed him to easily discover the loneliness and slight sorrow of life hidden under Tsunami's smile.
"She must be tired from taking care of her son and her father alone.”Ichiro thought to himself as he looked at Tsunami, who was busy working.
A woman's intuition allowed Tsunami to easily notice Ichiro's gaze on her. It was a gaze that seemed to see through everything and was filled with understanding. Tsunami's heart trembled. She, who was sensitive and strong, suddenly felt like crying. However, there were many guests at home, so Tsunami forcefully suppressed her emotions and did not let herself cry.
"The eyes of that boy called Soichiro really look like his!”
