"I say, Mr. Kakashi, are they really trustworthy? Especially that blond brat, he doesn't look like a ninja at all," said an old man beside him, dressed somewhat shabbily with a slightly reddish face. He took a sip of wine and questioned Kakashi with suspicion.
"Haha, Mr. Tazuna, there's no need to worry. They are all excellent ninjas from our Konoha. And aren't I, a Jonin, also here?" Kakashi said somewhat awkwardly.
"Is that so? Even if you, a Jonin, say so, I still don't really believe you. That brat doesn't look reliable at all," Tazuna said with some disbelief.
Uzumaki Naruto was happily dancing and gesturing, but suddenly his ears twitched slightly. Tazuna's words, word for word, clearly reached his ears, instantly making him flare up in anger.
"You stinky old man! How dare you look down on the future Hokage-sama! See if I don't teach you a good lesson!!!" Uzumaki Naruto was instantly furious, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws as he pounced on Tazuna.
Bang!! A large hand pressed down on Uzumaki Naruto's head. No matter how he thrashed with his hands and feet, he couldn't move forward another step. Kakashi held Uzumaki Naruto's head with one hand and, while chuckling, said: "Sorry, Mr. Tazuna, no need to pay attention to this idiot."
"Idiot!!" Uchiha Sasuke, a handsome young man with black hair, looked at Uzumaki Naruto with disdain, and said with a cold snort, "What did you say!!!" Uzumaki Naruto instantly looked angrily at Uchiha Sasuke behind him.
Bang!!! A fist hit Uzumaki Naruto's head hard.
The pink-haired girl angrily yelled at Uzumaki Naruto: "You're not allowed to talk to Sasuke-kun like that!!!"
"Sakura!!!" Uzumaki Naruto looked at Haruno Sakura with tears streaming down his face. He protested in a low voice, feeling both indignant and wronged. Compared to his earlier look of towering rage, you could say one was in the heavens and the other was on the ground.
"Hmph, truly an idiot," Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uzumaki Naruto with disdain, let out a cold snort, and then ignored him. He walked up to Kakashi and spoke coolly:
"Kakashi-sensei, let's depart quickly. After finishing the mission, I still need to train."
"Oh my, this is really troublesome. The relationship between this team is also giving me a splitting headache," Kakashi said, looking at Uchiha Sasuke's cold expression, then looking at Uzumaki Naruto behind him yelling at Uchiha Sasuke, and also Haruno Sakura looking at Uchiha Sasuke with a lovesick expression. A hint of helplessness flashed across his face.
Just like this, Kakashi's Team 7 and Tazuna embarked on their journey. This was their first C-rank mission as Team 7, and also their first time leaving the village to execute a mission.
Their mission this time was to safely escort Tazuna back to the Land of Waves. Tazuna is a relatively famous bridge-building expert in the Land of Waves. Uzumaki Naruto, who had never left the village, was gesturing and looking around excitedly along the way, completely without the appearance of a ninja.
Haruno Sakura's face was also full of excitement. Although she was a top student at the Ninja Academy, this was her first time leaving the village to execute a mission. Even Uchiha Sasuke, whose face was full of coldness, was curiously looking around. After all, he had also never left the village.
Because the journey was long, and there was nothing to do along the way except for necessary vigilance, Kakashi also began to tell them about many things outside the village, such as the current situation in the ninja world, including the Five Great Countries and the Five Kage. "Huh!!! Is that perverted old man really that powerful?" Uzumaki Naruto said in disbelief. He clearly remembered the fact that the Third Hokage was instantly killed by one blow in front of his Sexy Jutsu, with blood spraying from his nose.
"He is my defeated subordinate! How could he possibly be that powerful!!??" Uzumaki Naruto said with a look of disbelief. Bang!! At this moment, Haruno Sakura punched Uzumaki Naruto's head and yelled at him: "You don't need to boast! How could Hokage-sama possibly lose to you?!"
"It's true!!" Uzumaki Naruto said aggrievedly. Kakashi rolled his eyes helplessly and said: "You actually believed that, huh? But you're probably the only one who would. As for what kind of personality the Third Hokage has, he naturally knows. Of course, he himself isn't much better off, after all, he's a loyal reader of "Make-Out Paradise"."
Just like this, a group of people chatting and laughing headed towards the Land of Waves. Along the way, just like in the original story, they encountered an ambush from the Demon Brothers. Uchiha Sasuke also displayed great power. When Kakashi pretended to be killed, he single-handedly saved Naruto and the others, and used kunai to pin the Demon Brothers' chains. Afterwards, Kakashi appeared and instantly defeated the two.
"Sasuke performed quite well. Sakura barely passed. But Naruto, you really are hopeless! I didn't expect you to not even be able to move." Kakashi looked at Naruto and said helplessly. Although his face showed helplessness, the words he spoke didn't give Naruto any face at all.
"Hmph, you can still move, you coward!" Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uzumaki Naruto with disdain, smiled and said. Uzumaki Naruto's face flushed red, and he trembled all over as he yelled at Uchiha Sasuke: "Sasuke!!!!!"
At the same time, Haku was also slowly walking through a forest in the Land of Iron. The place he was heading to was also the Land of Waves. This time, he was going specifically to meet his childhood friend, Haku. They had been inseparable since they were nine years old, and now Zabuza was seventeen years old and hadn't seen Haku for nearly ten years. Haku held a very important place in his heart; he had never forgotten their past circumstances.
If there were no accidents, both Haku and Zabuza would die in the Land of Waves this time. Haku would be directly pierced through the heart and killed by Kakashi's Lightning Blade. This was absolutely unacceptable to him, so this trip to the Land of Waves was precisely to save Zabuza and Haku. Saving Zabuza was just to repay the kindness he received from him teaching Haku, and as for Haku, he would take her back to the Land of Rivers.
Looking up at the leaves above, golden sunlight filtered down, casting dappled light through the dense leaves, appearing exceptionally beautiful. "What beautiful weather. We don't have such good weather in the Land of Water." Zabuza said with a faint smile, the expression on his face showing some enjoyment. But at this very moment, Zabuza's expression instantly changed. He coldly looked towards a hidden bush not far away.
