Hokage: I, Naruto Uzumaki, was a genius at the beginning

Chapter 24 Protecting Tacna

"Hey, old man, what are you talking about?"

Being doubted about her strength, Sakura retorted with a displeased face.

"Mr. Tatzner, these are all ninjas who graduated from our ninja school, you can rest assured."

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Hiruzaru Sarutobi came out in a timely manner to smooth things over.

Tatsner narrowed his drunken eyes slightly, glanced at the people in the seventh class, and then nodded.

"Oh?"

"I am Dazina, a super famous bridge builder. Before I go back to China and finish building the bridge, please take your life to protect my safety."

Naruto just smiled at Tatsuna, and didn't make any comments.

Although the old man deliberately concealed the difficulty level of the mission, he didn't intend to do so.

It can only be blamed that the land of waves is really too poor, and all the available resources of the entire country are occupied by the bully 'Kado'.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tatzner."

Kakashi nodded at Tacna, and then looked at the Naruto trio.

"Now you three go back and get your things ready."

"We will gather at the gate of Konoha in two hours, be careful not to be late."

Sakura was speechless, and complained, "It's you and Naruto who shouldn't be late."

"Okay, disband."

Kakashi was a little embarrassed, and disappeared with a whoosh.

"See you later."

Naruto greeted the two of them, walked out of the gate of Hokage's office building, and walked towards the place where he lived.

In the past 12 years, Naruto has never been out of Konoha, and it is the first time he can go out to perform a mission, and he can't help but feel a little excited.

After returning home, I took my own backpack, took two sets of clothes and stuffed them in, and went to the store below to buy some dry food.

After everything was ready, when Naruto appeared at the gate of Konoha, the other three people from Class [-] also arrived at about this time.

This time, no one was late, and Kakashi would not be procrastinating on such important matters.

"By the way, are these brats really all right?"

"Their strength doesn't look very good."

Tacna was the first to arrive at the gate of Konoha. He looked at the young age of Naruto and the three of them, and still had some doubts.

This remark made everyone feel uncomfortable for a while, but they didn't break out.

"Mr. Tatzner, please rest assured."

"With my Jōnin following, there won't be any problems."

Kakashi swore a guarantee.

The four of them walked slowly out of Muye Village side by side.

The wide road stretches straight forward, with dense bushes on both sides.

The Land of Fire covers an area that is considered to be the largest country in the Ninja Continent, but most of the places are undeveloped forests of this type.

The main reason is that the Ninja Continent has been suffering from wars all year round and the population is missing too much.

Otherwise, there would not be such a large area of ​​original ecological natural environment.

swoosh~~
swoosh~~
After walking for about twenty minutes, there was a slight sound among the bushes.

Naruto's ears moved, he sensed this abnormality, and looked in Kakashi's direction.

Kakashi also noticed something, looking at the way Naruto looked at him, knowing that Naruto had discovered something.

Kakashi shook his head slightly, signaling Naruto to keep quiet for now.

Although Naruto didn't understand Kakashi's intentions, he still followed his wishes without any changes.

After continuing to move forward for a while, a puddle of water suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead.

"Tch, it's really a clumsy means of camouflage."

Naruto let out a sneer, the sun was high in the sky, and it hadn't rained in the past few days, so how could there be a pool of stagnant water in the middle of the road?
"Are you interested in playing for nothing?"

Naruto picked up a stone on the ground and threw it towards the pool of stagnant water.

bah~~
The stone hit the surface of the water without splashing any water, and bounced straight from the surface of the water to the front.

And the surface of the water actually trembled slightly.

[Ueda Kota anger value +26]

[Fukada Taichi anger value +35]

"Little boy, you dare to play transformation with me to see if it hurts you."

Naruto smirked inwardly, pretending not to notice, and bent down again to pick up a stone.

"Naruto, can you hurry on your way, why are you playing in water at this time?"

Sakura didn't realize that the pool of stagnant water was abnormal, she turned her head and blamed Naruto with a speechless expression.

According to normal physical common sense, when a stone hits the water, it will inevitably be splashed.

But there were no water droplets floating in that pool of stagnant water, instead, stones slid and flew out. This was obviously a disguise of the transformation technique.

"Okay, let's go, I won't play anymore."

"But the soles of my shoes are a bit dirty. I want to wash them."

Naruto raised his foot to look at the dirt stained on the soles of his shoes, and slowly walked towards the pool of stagnant water with a smirk on his face.

[Ueda Kota anger value +99]

[Fukada Taichi anger value +99]

"Baga Yalu~~~"

"Go to hell!! Brat!!"

When Naruto's soles were about to step on the water, two streams of white smoke suddenly exploded from the water, and two masked ninjas appeared in front of Naruto.

The two were wrapped in tight black coats, staring at Naruto angrily.

A long zigzag chain was connected between the palms of the two of them, and they swung the chain violently, wrapping Naruto tightly in front of them.

"Naruto!! Be careful!"

Sakura exclaimed, looking at Naruto who was restrained and bound, her eyes were full of panic.

Kacha~~
The two ninjas yanked the jagged chain, and the spikes of the chain pierced deeply into Naruto's body, leaving a stream of bright red blood.

"Hmph! If you dare to play tricks on us, you will die."

The ninja hadn't finished speaking, and Naruto, who was strangled by the sawtooth chain, exploded and disappeared in a cloud of white smoke, replaced by a big tree stump.

"You two, your camouflage methods are too bad. It hasn't rained before, so how could there be such a big puddle of water in the middle of the road?"

Naruto smiled, and appeared on the trunk of a big tree five meters away.

"So he discovered it a long time ago." Sasuke was a little surprised. In terms of this kind of common sense experience ability, he lost to Naruto again.

"Naruto, well done."

Kakashi protected Tatsuna behind him, and turned to look at Sasuke and the two.

"Sakura, Sasuke, these two are entrusted to you."

Kakashi prevented Naruto from telling about the abnormal situation before, in fact, he wanted to let Sakura and Sasuke get exercise.

But it is a pity that the two people's foresight of danger is still somewhat lacking.

And these two masked ninjas are about the strength of Chunin, handing over to Sakura and Sasuke to deal with, although a bit reluctant, but also a kind of training for them.

With Jonin and Naruto beside him, Sakura and Sasuke will naturally have no problems.
