Naruto: Spirit of Life

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the mission scroll in his hand and thought of Maya in the Land of Waves. If something happened, Maya could still take care of him.

"The next task for you, Class 7, is to take care of the children, walk the dog, and..."

"No, I don't want to do these tasks anymore. Grandpa Hokage, please give me more powerful tasks."

Naruto couldn't bear it any longer and exploded, demanding to change the task.

Sasuke also agreed and said: "That's right!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen told Naruto what a mission was and the level of the mission. When he saw that Naruto was discussing what to eat, he was speechless and raised his voice a bit.

"Hey, Naruto, are you listening to me?"

"I am no longer a child. Really, Grandpa Hokage always loves to preach to me, but I am no longer your nagging, prankster."

Naruto curled his lips angrily, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen with his back.

"Hehehe... The kid who always loved to play pranks in the past has grown up now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi held his pipe in his mouth and said, "In that case, I will give you a C-level mission. You have to protect someone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words also made Sasuke and Sakura raise their heads in surprise. Apparently, the D-level missions they had been doing had made them feel a little bored.

"Ah, really, who is it? Is it the Daimyo-sama or Her Royal Highness the Princess? Is she protecting the big star like Maya did before?"

Naruto's cheering voice made Sarutobi Hiruzen smile knowingly.

"Don't worry, I will introduce him to you now, you can come in."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Naruto and the other four look over, and they saw the door of the reception room opened, revealing a drunk old man with glasses and a bottle in his hand.

"What? Why are they all brats, and the shortest guy who looks stupid? Are you really a ninja?"

The drunken old man pointed at Naruto and the others and burped.

"Hahaha... who is it, who is it, who is that stupid, short guy, hahaha..."

Naruto laughed. Sasuke and Sakura stood with him in perfect harmony. Their obvious heights made Naruto furious.

"I'm going to kill you..."

Kakashi grabbed Naruto's collar with a look of helplessness and lifted it up easily.

"Why do you want to kill the people we protect, idiot!"

The old man's expression turned serious and he said, "I am Dazna, a famous bridge builder."

Naruto had a bad impression of this Tazuna, but when he thought that he no longer had to do those tedious D-level tasks, he endured it.

"By the way, Kakashi, that guy Maya is also in the Land of Waves, maybe you can meet him!"

"Maya!!!"

Naruto and Sasuke shouted in unison, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise.

"Well, what is he doing in the Land of Waves?" Kakashi looked confused.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Tazuna and said: "He is a useless guy who can't afford to be early. I probably know something from Tazuna. If we encounter any danger in the country of waves, we can talk to him." Get in touch.”

Dazuna's heart trembled and jumped suddenly. Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew his purpose, but if that was the case, why should he help him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally ignored Tazuna. He was furious now. Why did Asuma play shogi with Shikamaru again at this time? Now he could only drink soup base.

……

The next day, Maya met Shiro again, wearing a pink kimono and carrying a basket, laughing happily in the dense forest.

If you didn’t know better, you would think they were a young couple, but Shiro is a boy and Maya’s sexual orientation is normal.

"I'm sorry, Zabuza-sama said that he is a ninja of Kirigakure. It is impossible for him to join Konoha, let alone betray Kirigakure."

Shiro apologized to Maya at this time. Maya invited him and Zabuza to join Konoha yesterday, or it could be said that Maya's real intention was to invite Shiro.

"It doesn't matter, I have already thought of it, but don't die, Bai. In this world, innocent, kind and gentle people like you are already extinct."

Maya's words made Shiro smile softly.

"I am Zabuza-sama's tool. I want to fulfill Zabuza-sama's dream, because this is my dream."

"Tool, but you are a tool, and not even that ghost has changed your character!"

Maya complained, Haku and Zabuza, Haku mentioned that when he caught a rabbit once, Zabuza helped him catch it. In Maya's memory, she had never seen Orochimaru catch a rabbit against Kimimaro.

Shiro left. There were other things today. The target of the mission appeared. This also surprised Maya. He was actually only a few days away from Dazuna's mission entrustment.

"It's so missed!"

Maya started practicing again, and Haku came on the first and second days after that. After the third day, Haku didn't come again, and Maya understood that it had already begun.

After sorting everything out, Zhen Yefeng disappeared in an instant and left the temple. In a thick fog, he hid his aura and hid in a big tree, watching everything in the dark.

"As expected, we're here. Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura, and Tatsuna are already fighting. There's also Zabuza's silent killing technique. I arrived in time."

Maya noticed that Naruto's hand was wrapped with a bandage. Zabuza's ghost brothers had been eliminated by Team 7, and now Zabuza personally took action.

……

Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura protected Tazuna and came to the interior of the Land of Waves. They met the enemy for the first time. Naruto pierced his arm with a kunai and swore his pain. I am determined that this will never happen again in the future.

"it's here!"

Naruto suddenly threw a kunai into the grass on the roadside, startling Sakura.

"Idiot Naruto, what are you doing?"

Sakura's fist hit Naruto's head hard.

"Ah, Sakura, there's someone there!"

Everyone looked over curiously. The kunai thrown by Naruto was nailed to the root of the tree, and a snow-white, fluffy rabbit fell to the ground and twitched continuously. It was fainted by the kunai that Naruto had just thrown. .

"What? It turns out to be a rabbit, kid. My old man's heart can't stand being frightened."

Tatsuna breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly towards Naruto.

"Fool Naruto, you almost killed this cute little bunny."

Sakura punched her again in dissatisfaction, already having the prototype of future violence.

Kakashi looked at the snow-white rabbit with some solemnity. The snow rabbit was specially cultivated immediately. How could there be a snow rabbit in a place like the Land of Waves?

"Get down..."

Kakashi sensed the sound of breaking the air from behind, and quickly pulled Tazuna and Sasuke to lie down on the ground. Naruto and Sakura also quickly lay down.
