Just as everyone was about to disperse, the door of the office was pushed open. A black-haired young man walked in with a natural smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, are you going to the Country of Waves? Can you bring me along?"
" You, you are..." The third-generation successor immediately wanted to get up. Everyone felt strange when they saw this.
"Lord Naruto, please allow me to introduce myself.”The young man stopped the third-generation successor." My name is Nagara. I'm sorry that I overheard your conversation from outside. I happen to be going to the Country of Waves as well. Would you like to come with me?"”
"I'm afraid that won't do. There can only be one client at a time.”Kakashi refused.
"Please make an exception. I happen to be heading to the State of Waves for some matters, and I'm just afraid of encountering some mountain bandits along the way. As for the remuneration, I will pay you separately.”Nagara explained with a smile, and then looked at the third generation.
"Alright then. Kakashi, you guys can bring him along.”Surprisingly, the third-generation successor agreed without hesitation.
Even though he found the third-generation successor's attitude a little strange, Kakashi could not say anything more after seeing that the third-generation successor had agreed. Besides, it was fine to have one more person.
"Please, please wait a moment." At this moment, Dazner spoke, but after saying this, he did not say anything. From his expression, he seemed to be struggling, but in the end, he still spoke.
"I'm sorry, I lied. Actually, there will be ninjas coming after me.”
"What?! What was going on? Please explain, Mr. Dazner!”
Kakashi was a little angry, and even the third-generation successor's expression wasn't too good. Dazner's actions were already akin to playing with the ninja's life.
"Yes, there is actually a super terrifying person chasing after me. His name is Kado.”
"Kado? Was it the boss of the super-rich Cardo Group?”Kakashi asked.
"That's right. Our Country of Waves is just a small island country. We don't have any special products. Kado used violent means to control the shipping of the entire Country of Waves, causing the people of the entire Country of Waves to be unable to live a happy life. That's why the great name of the Country of Waves invited me to build a bridge.”
" And if I were to build it, it would be equivalent to cutting off Kado's source of income. That's why he sent his ninjas to kill me. The reason why I hid the mission level was because the Country of Wave was too poor. Even Daimyo couldn't afford the salary. Please forgive me!" With that, he bowed deeply.
Seeing Dazner like this, Naruto's impression of him improved a lot. Dazner was obviously afraid of implicating Nagara, so he spoke the truth and could not help but plead for him.
"Well, since he's already told the truth, forgive him. Moreover, it's indeed understandable.”
"Aiya, Master, you're being kind.”Edie suddenly teased in his mind.
"Haha, occasionally…you're the bandit! Edith, you're courting death!" Naruto was flustered and exasperated. He secretly swore that he would shut Edie's mouth one day.
"En…Alright, since Naruto has pleaded for you, then Mu Ye will continue to accept this mission. You don't have to pay the extra money.”The third-generation successor thought for a moment and agreed. However, he quickly changed the topic." However, there will be no next time. A ninja's life is also a life. Please don't do such a thing in the future. Otherwise, you might kill these three children."”
"Yes, yes, I definitely won't do it again in the future.”Dazner quickly promised, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then, Mr. Nagara, why don't you find another team to escort you to the Country of Waves?”Kakashi suggested.
"Hehe, there's no need. I was born in a small family and have the strength of a Chuunin. I sympathize with this old gentleman's encounter, so why don't you let me help?”Nagara said with a smile, not caring how ridiculous she sounded.
"Wait! You have the strength of a Chuunin, so why do you need to hire guards?”Kakashi was somewhat puzzled.
Nagara smiled and replied," Because I don't want to be stained with the blood of ordinary people.”
" What's this…" Kakashi was about to question it when he was interrupted by the third-generation successor.
"Alright, Kakashi. Since Nagara insisted, then let's do it this way. This mission has been upgraded to B rank. Do you still want to continue this mission?”
"That…"
Sakura wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Naruto shouted," Of course I'll continue! They're just a few ninjas!"
"But Naruto, you are just Genin who just graduated. Isn't it too early to fight ninjas now?”Kakashi advised.
After hearing Kakashi's words, Sakura heaved a sigh of relief. If she had said it, Naruto would definitely be angry.
"What do you mean early? With our strength, even if we encounter ninjas, it shouldn't be a problem.”
Naruto pursed his lips in disapproval. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to Sakura and Sasuke.
"What do you two think? If you're afraid, then stay. There's no need to force it.”
"Don't be silly. How can I be afraid? I can't wait any longer.”Sasuke's face was full of excitement. He was eager to take revenge, and he was eager for actual combat.
Compared to Sasuke, Sakura seemed a little scared, but she still forced herself to say," Who's scared! Besides, we're in the same class. How can I stay alone?”
"That's it. Third generation old…Grandpa, we'll continue this mission in Class Seven!”Seeing that Sakura had agreed, Naruto immediately said. As for Kakashi, he automatically ignored him.
The third-generation successor considered for a moment before saying," Alright then. This mission will be handed over to the seventh class. Kakashi, I'm counting on you."”
"Yes."
Kakashi responded while secretly glancing at Nagara, feeling puzzled.
'This person…Who is he? And the third generation master's attitude is too strange.'
Kakashi couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it, so he could only give up. Although the third generation's attitude was a little strange, it seemed that Nagara wasn't an enemy. It was just that things were getting more and more troublesome.
At this time, Nagara suddenly walked up to Naruto and looked at him with a smile.
"This little ninja standing in the middle.”
"Ah?"
Naruto's expression wasn't friendly. The word " standing in the middle " reminded him of what that stinky old man Dazner had said. Naruto made up his mind that if this guy named Nagara dared to say the same thing, he would give him a good beating.
"Your hair is so beautiful."
“……”
Naruto was speechless for a moment and did not know how to answer. Meanwhile, the third generation silently smoked his cigarette and thought to himself.
'What are they trying to do…Could it be Naruto?'
