In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and the bridge was about to be completed. At this time, they could not relax their vigilance because things had reached a critical moment.
Not far from the bridge, Kakashi, Hinata, Sasuke, and Dazner were slowly walking over. As for Naruto, he stayed in Dazner's house.
Naruto knew that Kado would send someone else to capture Inari and Tsinami, so he stayed there to protect them.
With Hinata and Sasuke's current strength, they were confident in facing Shiro, as long as Shiro's blood did not break through at this time.
"Ah…"
A few screams came from the bridge. Kakashi and the others were shocked when they heard the sound. They quickly ran to the bridge and saw that all the workers had fallen to the ground.
Hatata walked to one of them and checked his pulse. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said,""They all fainted. It's nothing serious!”
"Phew…"
Hearing Hinata's words, Kakashi and the others heaved a sigh of relief. However, they immediately became alert because the surrounding fog was getting thicker.
"Come out, if you don't chop it!" Kakashi shouted in a deep voice. To be able to use such a large-scale Fog Concealment Art, other than not slashing, there were really very few other people.
Furthermore, from Chakra's perception in the fog, this was a type of attack that would not be slashed again.
Although Kakashi wasn't a perceptive ninja, he still had the basic ability to sense things, so he could easily tell the difference.
"Humph…"
A cold snort came from the mist and entered Kakashi's ears. He stopped slashing and said,""Where's that golden-haired brat?”
When he mentioned Naruto, he was obviously angry and a little afraid. It was because Naruto's attack had left a psychological shadow on him.
If he did not remove this shadow, he would never be able to break through to a higher realm in this lifetime.
Kakashi naturally knew what he was thinking. A ninja who had been famous for a long time had been injured by a Genin who had just graduated from a ninja school. He had almost been killed.
No matter who it was, they would not be able to take it. This situation was fatal for a famous ninja.
"You mean Naruto? He didn't know, maybe he was in the dark!”Kakashi curled his lips.
At the same time, Bai appeared in front of Hinata and Sasuke. He wore a Dark Group mask and faced the two of them quietly.
"As expected! This little brat was no longer a companion!”Kakashi muttered to himself when he saw Bai's figure.
Fortunately, Sasuke's strength had improved a lot this week. As for Hinata, he would not mention it anymore. In any case, he could not feel it.
"If you don't slash, you won't be defeated by those little ghosts, right?”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out in the ears of Kakashi and the other two. The three of them immediately felt their hearts skip a beat. They really didn't expect that there would be an expert hidden within, and their minds instantly tensed up.
" Hmph…" No More Slash only snorted coldly, but did not refute.
It wasn't that he didn't want to refute, but this person's strength was very terrifying. He wasn't someone he could face.
"Pa"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Kakashi and the other two. He had a tall and sturdy figure, and he looked like a boorish old man.
However, when Kakashi saw this person, he could not help but narrow his eyes. He could clearly feel the explosive power in his muscles. It was obvious that this person was a physical ninja.
Looking at Hinata, Hinata immediately understood what Kakashi meant. He wanted to deal with him.
Hatata looked at the middle-aged man who was giving her immense pressure. Battle intent flashed in her eyes. Perhaps this was a good opportunity to prove herself.
"Sasuke, you deal with the masked one. Hinata, go deal with the middle-aged man. As for whether you want to kill him or not, leave it to me!”Kakashi instructed.
"Yes, sir!" The two of them replied at the same time.
"Oh?" When the middle-aged man heard Kakashi's arrangement, he could not help but laugh out loud." I say, Kakashi, you're not sending this little girl to fight for me, are you? Although her strength is not bad, compared to me, she's much weaker!”
"..." Kakashi didn't answer because what the other party said was right.
Kakashi didn't know exactly how strong Hinata was, but he knew that it wasn't too weak. He only hoped that he could deal with this middle-aged man for a while.
When the time came, he would deal with this middle-aged man with Hatata after he was done.
"Calm down, calm down. Don't look like you're facing a great enemy!”The middle-aged man teased," Let me introduce myself. I'm Pei Qingyun, a martial arts ninja. I'm a ninja, and my current realm is Quasi-Shadow!”
The moment the words 'Quasi-Shadow' were spoken, the expressions of Kakashi and the other two froze, and a look of terror flashed across their faces.
Quasi-shadow, from the literal meaning, it could be seen that the other party was an expert who was about to enter the shadow level. Quasi-shadow was also a shadow, but its true strength could not be compared to the shadow level.
But at the same time, the pressure that this brought to Kakashi and the others was extremely great. The gap between elite Jounin and Quasi-Shadow was huge.
Sasuke and the others might not know, but Kakashi knew. It was like an insurmountable ditch.
"This is troublesome!" Kakashi thought to himself with a dark expression. He hadn't expected that a simple C-rank mission would actually produce a Quasi-Shadow rank expert.
This was already an S-rank mission. Kakashi even had the thought of turning around and running away immediately. However, when he remembered that ninjas prioritized missions as their top priority, he dispelled this thought.
Just as everyone was feeling anxious, Naruto received a notification from the Eight Thousand Streams in Dazner's house.
"Ding…the quest has changed. A Quasi-Shadow Level expert has appeared. The quest level has changed to S Level. Upon completion, the reward is 1000 Exchange Points! And one lucky draw ticket!"
When Naruto heard this voice, he instantly jumped out of the window, ignoring the shocked Inari and Jinami.
At this time, the people sent by Kado also arrived. When Naruto saw these people, he immediately cast an A-grade ninjutsu.
"Water Evasion-Great Waterfall Technique!"
The violent water current drowned the dozens of people who attacked, and they died of suffocation in an instant. Naruto also immediately received a notification from the Eight Thousand Streams.
"Ding…congratulations big brother for killing 20 ordinary people. Obtained 200 exchange points. Current exchange points: 4100!”
After killing these minions, Naruto no longer cared about them. He rushed to the bridge as fast as he could, praying that nothing would happen to Hatata!
An elite upper ninja, a quasi-shadow ninja, and an elite middle ninja. It was impossible to defeat them.
With this in mind, Naruto sped up again.
