Amidst Naruto's shouts, Kakashi's squad finally received a bigger mission. It was no longer a mission to find cats, chase dogs, and pick up trash, but a mission to escort people across the country.
Although Naruto was quite excited and Sasuke looked relaxed as if he had finally escaped from the abyss of suffering, Haruno Sakura did not seem excited at all. To her, small missions like finding cats and dogs were actually quite good. Anyway, the rewards for the missions were also acceptable. There was no need to take the risk to do any big missions.
Haruno Sakura had a deep understanding of the cruelty of the outside world. Just doing a mission in a small village in the Wood Leaf Village had caused her to meet Niu Kui and be taken to another world to be ravaged. Well, although she felt pretty good now and she really liked her current life, from the perspective of the past, this experience was obviously very terrifying. If she hadn't met Niu Kui but some other demon, she would have been a pile of fertilizer by now.
He had already encountered such a situation in a place so close to the village. Then, he wondered what kind of things he would encounter in the upcoming cross-country mission.
Although visitors from another world like Niu Kui were not common and could even be said to be extremely rare, there were quite a number of ninjas in this world. The probability of encountering ninjas on a cross-country mission was actually not low.
'However, with Teacher Kakashi around, it shouldn't be a problem. According to his master's evaluation, Kakashi was a great expert whose strength was several times greater than his own. Moreover, even if there was any danger, as long as he went to the mystic realm before he died, he could be resurrected.'Thinking of this, Haruno Sakura felt relieved.
Just as Haruno Sakura had expected, it was only the first day out of the village when the thing that Haruno Sakura was worried about happened.
When Kakashi was bound by the Ghost Brothers 'spiked chains and torn apart in an instant, Haruno Sakura was in a state of panic and disbelief. In her opinion, how could someone who was evaluated by Niu Kui to be several times stronger than him be killed so easily? Because of this, her attention was not immediately attracted by the appearance of the enemy. Instead, she focused on the spot where Kakashi had been torn apart. When she saw the broken wood, the answer was obvious. It was just a substitution technique.
Since she knew that Kakashi was not dead, Haruno Sakura was no longer worried. In any case, Kakashi would appear if there was any danger. She was not worried that Kakashi was dead, but that she would be in danger if Kakashi died. Although he could be resurrected, the feeling of being injured and dying was not good.
" However, are you trying to train us by hiding at this time?'Haruno Sakura recalled the situation where Niu Kui had asked her to fight. His goal was to use actual combat to increase her strength.
" Alright, since that's the case, I'll just wave a few shurikens to express my gratitude.'With this thought in mind, Haruno Sakura casually threw a few shuriken at the Ghost Brothers who had just escaped Sasuke and charged over. Then, she pulled Tazina and retreated.
Immediately after, Kakashi appeared and dealt with the Ghost Brothers in an instant. The speed and skill that he displayed in that instant also made Haruno Sakura understand that Niu Kui's words were not false.
The Ghost Brothers 'strength was still passable. When they faced Sasuke, they were only delayed for a moment. If they fought head-on, just Sasuke, Naruto, and Haruno Sakura would have a 50 - 50 chance. The Ghost Brothers would not be able to last a single round against Kakashi. The contrast was too obvious.
What happened next was simple. Kakashi used words to stimulate Naruto's competitive spirit, and Sasuke's following " Yo, you're not hurt, are you? Coward " was even more unbearable for Naruto. Finally, after being severely provoked, Naruto stabbed his poisoned hand, and while he finished releasing the poisoned blood, he also made a vow of " never running away."
It was a very hot-blooded scene, but for some reason, Haruno Sakura felt very unhappy.
" Maybe it's because he said that he would never let anyone save him again. Back then, when I was in a desperate situation, I only hoped that someone would come and save me.'Haruno Sakura thought.
" Naruto, this guy is really bad and unbearable, but it seems that I was worse than him in the past. When he realized how unbearable his past was, his mood was really terrible.'Haruno Sakura looked at everything in front of her expressionlessly.
The journey continued. They walked and stopped until they reached the coast. Then, they took a small boat to the Country of Waves.
On the ship, Kakashi asked Tazner about the truth, and Tazner revealed the truth.
"If you give up on this mission after coming ashore, I will definitely be killed by Kado.”"But it's nothing. You don't have to care." " Even if I really die, only my cute eight-year-old grandson will cry his heart out. My daughter will hate the Leaf Ninjas for the rest of her life and live alone.”
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto were all speechless.
"Since we've already said this, we have no choice but to continue protecting you.”Kakashi scratched his head and said helplessly.
Tazner gradually revealed a triumphant expression, but then he saw Haruno Sakura's expression. She was looking at him calmly, and her eyes were cold.
(Thank you, Quiet Watch, for sending me a reminder, but it seems that this is the limit of my ability. I only managed to update 4 chapters even after working hard. My head hurts.)
