Encountering the Enemy
The next day, at the entrance of Muye Village.
It seemed that something was wrong today. Looking at Kakashi, who had arrived the earliest, Naruto and Sakura were a little confused.
Naruto scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression," Kakashi-sensei, you didn't 'get lost' today?”
When Kakashi heard Naruto's words, he felt a little helpless. Usually, the missions in the village were trivial D-rank missions. Today was a C-rank mission, so he naturally couldn't be late.
Kakashi did not pay attention to Naruto. He glanced at them and found that everyone had arrived except for Ichimaru. He looked up at the sky and said,"When the silver arrives, we'll set off.”
Just as everyone was getting impatient, they heard a voice say,""Morning."
The few of them looked in the direction of the voice. The unhappiness in their hearts suddenly disappeared for some reason.
Ichimaru Ginobu was wearing a black kimono with a white haori over it. He slowly walked towards them with his usual smile, but for some reason, they felt a different feeling when they looked at him.
" So handsome!!!" Xiao Ying's face was flushed red as she shouted excitedly in her heart.
Naruto and Sasuke didn't say anything. They just felt that Silver seemed a little different today. Her smile was still the same as before, but there was a sense of loneliness. It was as if she was drifting away from the world at any time, just like snow.
Kakashi looked at the Marugi-chan in silence. He recalled the conversation he had with the third-generation successor after the drill that day.
"Lord Third Generation, with Silver's strength, he can completely carry out missions alone. Why is he still arranged to be in my group?”
The third-generation successor took a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled. He stood in front of the window and looked at the village outside. He said calmly,"I knew that you would come to ask me after the exercise…On the table, there is a black book with some information about the Maru Bank.”
Kakashi walked to the table, picked up the book, and flipped through it.!!”Kakashi looked at the history of Maruyaki and the process of its growth, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
The third-generation successor wasn't surprised by Kakashi's reaction at all, because anyone who saw the information of the City Maru Bank would be like this.
"Silver had the strength to crush the Dark Group at the age of three. Although he doesn't know how to use ninjutsu or illusionary techniques, he seems to be born with the ability to use the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.”
At this point, the third-generation successor took a deep breath and slowly said,"" He has the strength of a Shadow Level at the age of six. I wonder if it's Muye's blessing or Muye's misfortune…If Silver loves the village and knows what the Will of Fire is, then he's the best candidate to be the next Naruto…"
However, when he thought of the appearance of Maruyin, the third-generation successor's excited eyes slowly dimmed. He said tiredly,"I can feel that Shi Maru has no sense of belonging to Muye. With Shi Maru's strength, he can protect Muye or destroy Muye. This is why I let him join your team.”
Kakashi calmed down and slowly understood. Feeling the trust of the third generation, Kakashi said,""So, you want him to start from being an ordinary Genin in Koba, and slowly integrate him into Koba as a partner and a team…I understand.”
Thinking about the conversation with the third generation, Kakashi felt a little heavy as he looked at Ichimaru. He could feel that Ichimaru's loneliness was completely different from Naruto and Sasuke's.
Naruto and Sasuke, because of Nine-Tailed and the extermination of their clan, one was hated by others, and the other closed himself off. However, as long as they were educated properly, they could still change. After all, they were still children, and Naruto was naturally a super optimistic person.
And Shi Maruyin seemed to have walked the world alone for decades or centuries. As the disciple of the third generation, he was adopted since he was a baby. He did not have a tragic background, so why did he have such an aura?
This was the first time that Kakashi felt pressured. He glanced at the others and immediately suppressed all these rotten thoughts. He said loudly,"Alright, everyone is here. Let's go!”
The few of them came back to their senses and began to walk towards the Country of Waves.
Along the way, they seemed to be influenced by the city's Maruyin. They were a little depressed. Even Naruto, who usually loved to be noisy, changed his style and walked quietly.
They finally arrived at the border of the Country of Fire. The few of them could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Xiao Ying asked,"Mr. Danaz, are you from the Country of Waves?”
"So what?" Dazner looked at Xiao Ying and replied.
Hearing Danaz's reply, Sakura looked at Kakashi and asked,""Teacher Kakashi, are there ninjas in the Country of Waves?”
"No, there are no ninjas in the Country of Waves. Generally speaking, only big countries have ninja villages. A small island country like the Country of Waves, which is not easily interfered by other countries, does not need a ninja village. Among the countries with ninja villages, the Fire, Water, Thunder, Wind, and Earth five countries were the most powerful. Naruto, Mizuki, Thunder, Wind, and Earth were the so-called Five Shadows. These five ninjas were the strongest ninjas that surpassed tens of thousands of ninjas in the world.”
After saying that, he looked at Maru Silver and said,"Silver is the disciple of the third generation Naruto."”
Dazner raised his head and looked at Maruyin.""I didn't know you were the third generation Naruto's disciple!”
"Hehe, I'm ashamed." Shi Maruyin smiled.
"Are third-generation old men that powerful?”Naruto asked curiously.
" Well, it's okay..." City Maruyin thought about it and said.
The few of them continued to walk. City Maruyin sensed that there were two people in front of him, but he ignored them. After walking for a while, he found a puddle by the side of the road. He looked at the sky and thought," What season is it? It's better to be a log than a puddle…" He thought to himself, but he did not say it out loud.
When Kakashi passed by the waterhole, he glanced at it, then glanced at Maruyin. He pretended not to know anything and continued walking forward.
When everyone was not far from the waterhole, two figures suddenly jumped out of the waterhole!
"The first one!" The two men dashed towards Kakashi, and a long chain with shurikens wrapped around Kakashi, slicing him into pieces.
At this time, Naruto and the others finally reacted, only to find that Kakashi-sensei had already been killed.
"Ah!" Xiao Ying screamed.
" Kakashi-sensei is dead…sensei is dead…" Naruto panicked.
"The second one." After the Ghost Brothers saw that the most troublesome ninja had been killed, they rushed to the nearest City Maru Silver.
Ichimaru laughed. Kakashi, who was hiding at the side with a substitute technique, also laughed helplessly. These two idiots could find anyone. Sigh…I wanted to test the reaction of Naruto and the other two.
"One of the Breaking Dao-Charge!" Shi Maruyin pointed at the two people who were rushing over with his index finger.
Before everyone could understand what was going on, they saw a shock wave from the index finger of the City Maru Silver. It instantly blew the two of them to a big tree by the roadside and they fainted.
"Pa…" Kakashi clapped his hands and walked out of the forest. He smiled and said,"Silver, not bad."
"Ah! Teacher Kakashi, you didn't die?" Naruto looked at Kakashi and said excitedly.
"That's great, that's great! Teacher Kakashi is fine. Silver, you're so cool!”Xiao Ying said excitedly. "Amazing. How did you do it?”
Sasuke glanced at Kakashi's " place of death " and realized that it was a few pieces of wood."It's the Substitute Technique again!"
"As expected of Naruto's disciple." Dazner sighed.
"Mr. Dazner, I have something to ask you.”Kakashi looked at Dazner sternly.
"Your mission is to protect you from thieves and armed gangs. If there are ninjas, this is already a B-rank mission…"
Looking at Dazner, who was panicking, Kakashi continued,""I know that you have your own difficulties, but if you continue to hide the truth now, we will also be very troubled.”
" This mission is a little too early for us…" Sakura was still a little flustered from the attack just now. Now that she heard that it might be a B-rank mission, she quickly stood up.
" Sigh…" Hearing Xiao Ying's words, Dazner sighed and said helplessly,""You're right, this is already considered a B-rank mission. In fact, there's a super terrifying person who wants to take my life, his name is Kado.”
"Kado?" "Could it be the one from the Cardo Group, one of the richest people in the world?" Kakashi asked in surprise.”
Dazner nodded and said solemnly,"" That's right, because he wants to control the economy of the Country of Waves and control this country. The only way to stop him is to build a bridge that runs through the entire country.”
Speaking of this, Dazner looked at everyone sincerely." The Country of Waves is an extremely poor country. Even its name doesn't have money. I've been gathering money for a long time, but it's only enough to pay for the price of a C-rank mission…"
After saying that, she lowered her head and cried,"It's nothing. Even if I die, I'll only have an eight-year-old grandson crying for me. Oh right, my poor daughter will hate the Leaf Ninjas for the rest of her life and live alone! But this has nothing to do with you! Don't worry about it."
" Uh..." Everyone looked at Dazner helplessly. Kakashi looked at Maruyin and said," Alright, the mission continues."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dazner got up and said,""I'm really grateful."
Maruyin looked at Dazner and thought,'This speed of getting up is almost catching up to Jounin…'
Kakashi glanced at the two ninjas who had fainted by the roadside and said,""Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, go kill those two ninjas.”
Sasuke was stunned for a moment before he gritted his teeth and took out a Kuna. He walked towards one of the ninjas and finished one with a " poof ". Then, he went to the side and started vomiting.
Under Kakashi's determined gaze, the hesitant Naruto and Sakura had no choice but to go up and take care of the other player, taking the first " First Clear " in their lives.
Finally, they arrived at the Country of Waves.
"I can't let Silver steal the limelight again!”With this thought in mind, Naruto began to scout ahead, jumping up and down and throwing Kunai.
"Naruto! Stop acting cool!" Sakura pointed at Naruto and scolded.
At this moment, Kakashi slowed down his pace and walked to the back of the line, next to Ichimaru Ginobu.
"Silver, if another ninja comes, it should be a Jounin and not a Chuonin. Take care of Naruto and the others.”Kakashi said softly.
City Maru Yin looked at him and smiled,""Of course, we're teammates."
Kakashi looked at him deeply and walked forward."Yes."
Suddenly, Kakashi frowned and shouted,""Get down!"
A large saber that was as long as a person flew down from the tree. It passed by the few of them and slashed at a large tree in the distance in front of them!
With a swoosh, a bare-chested man with bandages on his face stood on the hilt of the broadsword.
"I was wondering why the Ghost Brothers failed. So it's you, Sharunyan Kakashi!”
