[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

Treating simple mission objectives as child's play will lead to situations in the future when one will underestimate the enemy due to increased strength.By then it will be too late to break the bad habit.

Therefore, in addition to their strength, they also need to hone their minds in D-level missions.Wait until they are confirmed to meet the appropriate standards before being assigned more advanced tasks.

Sure enough, a week later, their mission content changed significantly, and they even received their first C-level mission - to protect Dazna and complete the bridge construction.

The client, who claimed to be a bridge-building expert, appeared in the hall where the task was announced drunkenly, carrying a bottle of wine, and looked at Naruto and the others with critical eyes.After confirming that they were indeed the ninjas responsible for escorting him, he frowned and lowered his voice: "Then risk your lives to protect me before I return home to complete the construction of the bridge."

It's infuriating to watch.

Just like what Tajima said at the beginning, the status of ninjas will decrease rapidly in the next few decades. Even such an ordinary C-level task that a genin who just graduated from the ninja school can take over can be said casually by the client. The words “protect me with your life.”

It was as if this low commission fee was enough to buy off their lives.

What do they think of ninjas?Still human?

But everyone else present was accustomed to such dialogue.

Even when Naruto was shouting, "Who are you looking down on? I'm also a very powerful ninja." When he was arguing with the uncle, Kakashi was still saying peace: "Don't worry about the mission, I'm still here as a Jonin. "

It seems that if a ninja does die during the mission, it can only be blamed on his lack of strength.

But no matter how unhappy he felt, Sasuke knew that he alone could not change the situation that had existed for many years.All he can do is to complete this mission and gain experience from it.

This is the first time he has left the village to do a mission in this world, and he can also see the changes in the world outside the village.

Naruto was more excited than him.After registering at the entrance of the village, when I raised my arms and shouted "Let's go", the high tone sounded more like going on a mission than going on an outing.

"What are you happy about?" Sasuke asked him.

"This is my first time leaving the village, and it's my first C-level mission. Don't you feel excited, Sasuke?" Naruto grabbed his backpack strap and strode forward, "This is my journey to become the Hokage. The first step!”

"Hokage is the most powerful character in every ninja village. How can a little kid like you become Hokage?" Dazuna was walking in front and turned around when he heard these words.It seemed that the journey without drinking was boring, so he just wanted to see Naruto jumping around.

And Naruto was really pissed off: "What a shame! No matter what kind of effort I have to put in, I will definitely become Hokage in the end! By then, even a despising uncle like you will have to agree with me!"

"I won't." Dazna turned his head back, "Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, I won't do it even if you really succeed."

"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"

Naruto rushed forward, but Kakashi easily grabbed the backpack strap and slipped back: "Naruto, what are you talking about to the person we want to protect?"

"Hmph." Naruto could only lean into Sasuke's ear and whisper to Sasuke in a voice that everyone could hear, "This client is so annoying, so terrible."

Sasuke nodded slightly.

"That's right! You don't like him either, right? How could there be such a person?"

While scolding, he walked forward, just like this, heading towards the destination leisurely.And in such a relaxed state, an abnormal sound suddenly came from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw that Kakashi, who was walking at the end of the queue, was tightly entangled by the enemy's chains.The jagged chain cut through the texture with the enemy's movements, and in the next moment, Kakashi was cut into pieces of flesh with blood flying everywhere.

Before anyone even had time to react, they came to Sasuke and Naruto again.The distance was too close to draw the sword.

Sasuke directly supported Naruto's shoulders and jumped up, kicking away the two people who were close to him, and then nailed their chains with shurikens.The two discovered that they had misjudged Sasuke's strength, and immediately abandoned the long chain and attacked Dazuna.

"Uncle, back off!" Sakura, who was closest to him, shouted.

"Naruto, left!" Sasuke's sword slashed at the back of one person, and he was only close enough to repel this one.If Naruto couldn't contain the other person, Sakura would probably get hurt.

At this moment, Kakashi fell from the sky and inserted himself between the enemy and Sakura, instantly restraining the two.

Sasuke's knife pierced the enemy's lower back and barely missed Kakashi's little finger.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura shouted in surprise, "You're not dead."

"Sorry, I scared you." Kakashi took care of the two of them neatly, holding each of them with one hand, "Are you not hurt?"

Naruto's body, which had acted subconsciously due to Sasuke's words, finally came back together with his spirit. He put down the hand holding the kunai numbly, turned around, and saw clearly that what had been divided before was just a wooden stake used for the Substitution Technique. .

"Are you scared?" Sasuke came over.

"No!" Naruto retorted subconsciously, "I, I..." but couldn't say any more.

"Sasuke did a good job, and Sakura and Naruto were also good." Kakashi praised. It was already a very good reaction to meet a ninja in actual combat for the first time.

But Naruto knew that he was completely confused just now.Those subconscious actions were only based on the familiarity and trust of Sasuke, and had nothing to do with his own abilities.

"Why..." Naruto clenched his fists, "Obviously Sakura knows how to protect her uncle, but I..."

"It's normal to suddenly see such a scene and then be targeted by the enemy immediately. It's normal to not react for a while. It's common for the body to move faster than the brain in battle." Sasuke comforted.

"Really?" Naruto raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth still hanging unconfidently.

"Yeah. You're just not used to it yet." Sasuke confirmed again.

"But isn't it the first time for Sasuke..."

"No." No matter which world he was in, this was not the first time he faced blood and death.

Naruto kept silent thinking of Sasuke's situation.

"And I know that Kakashi will definitely not be solved by two guys of this level. If the jounin of Konoha would just stand there stupidly when attacked by the enemy, the village would have fallen long ago." Sasuke said with a relaxed tone The tone said, "Of course I won't be afraid if I know it's fake."

At this time, Kakashi also explained the reason why he found the enemy but did not take action immediately: "I can now confirm that they are coming for you, Mr. Dazuna."

"C-level missions will only encounter thieves or mafia at most, but now it has gone too far, and it has reached the level of B-level missions. Mr. Dazuna, maybe you have difficulties that you must hide, but this will give us Bringing more unnecessary trouble."

"Look, there was something wrong with this mission, not your lack of ability." Sasuke continued to bite Naruto's ears.

Dazna finally chose to confess.Their country of Waves is controlled by Cardo, a wealthy man who secretly cooperates with the mafia and ninjas, and all means of contact with the outside world have been cut off.As an island country, if it wants to confront Cardo, it must build the bridge connecting to the land.Being responsible for the construction of the bridge, he has therefore become a thorn in Cardo's side and may be attacked by ninjas sent by the other party.

As one of the richest men in the country, Cardo may have hired more than these two ninjas.

But in the country of Wave, which has already been grasped, even the daimyo is very poor, not to mention him who has spent a lot of savings to build the bridge.His family couldn't afford to spend more than a C-level mission, so they had no choice but to hide it.

Faced with this situation, Kakashi and the others could choose to refuse the mission.But despite Tazuna's trickery, Kakashi still had a headache and agreed to continue to protect him.

Sasuke was a little surprised.

This level is almost like using the lives of the team members for charity, and Kakashi would agree so easily.Although their abilities are not at the level of ordinary genin, but...should it be said that Kakashi is confident that he is strong enough to complete the mission with a few oil bottles, or does he have special trust in them?

If it's the former, Kakashi may not be as simple as an ordinary jounin.Their seventh class had a Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and an Uchiha orphan. It was normal for the village to send a special Jonin as their leading teacher.

If it was the latter, Kakashi would definitely have a deeper understanding of them than just hearing how they introduced themselves during class division.Otherwise, even if the subsequent practical exercises allowed Kakashi to slightly grasp their combat strength, it would not be enough to choose such a risk.

Seeing as Kakashi came to the conclusion without much hesitation, it was probably both.

As for the decision to continue the mission, Sasuke certainly wouldn't object.According to normal channels, it might take a long time for them to truly confront the ninjas.This is a rare opportunity for him to hone himself.

"Sasuke, what do Uncle Tazuna and Kakashi-sensei mean? Why don't I quite understand it?" Naruto quietly came over and asked.

Sasuke went over what Naruto didn't understand.

"That means we are likely to encounter other enemies?"

"Correct."

"I will definitely perform well this time." Naruto made a fist.

Sasuke added another reminder: "The next wave of enemies will only be more difficult than these two, so you can't be reckless."

"That's right. These two are Kirigakure ninjas. They are famous for fighting to the death at all costs. If I face them in the next battle, even one more minion will not be easy for you to deal with." Kakashi took off the masks of the two Kirigakure ninjas, opened their teeth and looked at them.

"Kakashi-sensei, they..."

"already dead."

Sakura covered her mouth.

"It may be too cruel for you now, but you have seen it." Kakashi put down his hand, "For them from Blood Mist Gakure, failure means death. The ninjas of Kirigakure are all desperate. Disciple."
