Konoha, I have the Herrscher of the End core in my body.

"Mr. Dazna, I wonder if you have any explanation for the current situation?" Kakashi's expression at this moment was completely different from his previous relaxed look, but became very serious.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, there's nothing I can do." Dazna said as he started crying. His crying made Kakashi scratch his head helplessly.

"Mr. Dazna, please tell us everything."

"It's all because of Cardo."

Dazna then told the current situation of the Wave Country, and then said that because they needed to build a bridge, the money had been used to buy related building materials, and there was not much money left, so they only issued C-level missions in Konoha.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dazna. Since you concealed key information, I'm afraid we have to give up this escort mission."

"I know. I don't blame you. It's because I have no money. The Wave Country is poor and I don't have the money to issue B-level missions. At most, even if I am killed before I get home, my poor eight-year-old granddaughter will lose her beloved grandfather and cry all day long. Then my lovely daughter can only live a lonely life among the hated Konoha ninjas.

Really, you don't have to take it to heart, it's just that an old man like me is going to be killed soon."

Dazna's words made Kakashi silent immediately. Sakura couldn't help but look at Kakashi, her eyes full of sympathy.

"I remember you don't have any eight-year-old granddaughter." Naruto turned his head and looked at the forest on the side, not wanting others to see his expression. Kakashi and others didn't know the situation of the Dazna family, but he knew it very well.

"Well, wait a moment, let's discuss it."

"What do you think? Do you want to continue the mission?" Kakashi called Naruto and the other two aside and asked them what they thought.

"Teacher Kakashi, if possible, please help him." Sakura spoke first.

"I don't want to fail on my first C-rank mission," Sasuke continued.

"I agree to continue the mission."

"Mr. Dazna, we will continue to protect you until the bridge is built."

“I can’t thank you enough.”

While saying thank you, Dazna secretly made a victory gesture. Kakashi glanced at him and said nothing more. A lot of what Dazna said just now was acting. Maybe he thought his acting was realistic, but he had already seen what kind of person Kakashi was, but there was no need to expose him.

"You're back, how's it going?"

"Don't worry, I have found Konoha's ninja to protect me, and the bridge will be built soon."

"I hope so."

In the early morning of a few days later, a group of five people came to a beach in the Land of Fire near the Land of Waves. Here, Dazna met a young man, and then several people got on his small wooden boat.

The Kingdom of Waves is not far from the Kingdom of Fire, and one can reach the Kingdom of Waves from the Kingdom of Fire even by using a small boat. However, that was before. Now, the Cardo Shipping Group controls the maritime traffic of the Kingdom of Waves. If residents want to go out to sea, they must obtain approval from the Cardo Group. In order to avoid being discovered by the people of Cardo, they set out in the thick morning fog.

"Be careful."

Soon the group arrived at an uninhabited beach in the Land of Waves. After dropping off the people, the young man immediately rowed away. He did not dare to confront the Cardo Group head-on and could only help Dazna this much.

"Zabuza should be showing up soon. Why didn't Zabuza attack at sea before? That was his advantage. He doesn't look like someone who would fight a fair duel with others. In other words, he probably didn't notice us, so he didn't attack."

Walking along the beach of Wave Country, Naruto couldn't help but observe his surroundings carefully. Not only was he on guard, Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura were also being very careful at this time.

"Be careful, get down."

The group had just entered the forest from the beach when Kakashi, who was walking at the back, suddenly shouted loudly. Naruto and the other two lay down reflexively. When Sasuke lay down, he also took Dazna down with him.

As soon as the three of them lay down, they felt a powerful whistling sound flying from above, and then they heard a bang. The three of them looked up, only to see a peculiarly shaped broadsword, the blade of which was stuck in the trunk of a big tree. On the blade stood a ninja with a gloomy face and murderous expression, wearing a mask and a forehead protector from the Mist Village.

"Hey, there's no scratch on his forehead protector. Also, he and Kakashi look really alike, one has a black mask and the other has a white mask."

The person who came was naturally Zabuza. Even though it was the first time Naruto saw him in real life, he would not mistake that iconic beheading sword.

As for why there was no scratch on Zabuza's forehead protector, he was only surprised at first, and then he realized that in the ninja world, there is no such thing as a rebel ninja wearing a forehead protector with a rebel symbol. Those who really do so are either fools or very powerful people.

For ordinary rebel ninjas, they don't even have enough time to hide their identities, so how could they reveal their own identities? Moreover, wearing a regular forehead protector can also conceal their identities.

For a rebellious ninja, drawing a horizontal line on the forehead protector only represents the determination to betray. For example, Sasuke, the later Sasuke, did not wear a forehead protector at all.

"I was wondering why the Oni brothers failed, it turns out it was Konoha's copy ninja, Sharingan Kakashi. This is really surprising."

After Zabuza glanced at Naruto and his group, he then fixed his eyes on Kakashi. Kakashi was a well-known ninja in the ninja world, and even though Zabuza had never seen him, he had his portrait.

Sasuke's attention was originally on Zabuza, but after hearing the word Sharingan, his gaze turned to Kakashi.

"Kijin Zabuza, quickly take Mr. Dazna away, leave this place to me."

Seeing that the attacking ninja was the demon Zabuza, Kakashi's expression became extremely solemn at this moment, and he immediately ordered Naruto and others to leave quickly.

"Walk."

While Sasuke was still staring at Kakashi because of the Sharingan issue, Naruto acted decisively, pulled him back, and then quickly left with Sakura and Dazna.

"Want to leave? Hum, Mist Hidden Technique."

While Naruto was taking action, Zabuza snorted coldly and then formed two hand seals. At the same time, Kakashi quickly threw out a shuriken, but unfortunately it did not hit the enemy, but only hit the tree trunk.

"Mist Hidden Jutsu, a troublesome ninjutsu. Speaking of which, Kakashi doesn't seem to have any experience using Wind Release. Does he not know how to do it, or doesn't need to use it?"

Looking at the thick fog that was rapidly appearing around them, Naruto shook his head slightly, but he did not stop and the group of four continued to run forward.

Although the Mist Hidden Technique has little offensive power, its auxiliary effect is very good. It is one of the signature ninjutsu of the Mist Village. For most ninjas, losing sight is very fatal.

Naruto guessed that it was not only because he had never seen Kakashi use wind jutsu in his previous life, but more importantly, wind jutsu was the nemesis of the Mist Hidden Technique and could blow away the thick fog, but Kakashi did not do that.

As one of Konoha's elite jonin, he is very powerful in combat and it is impossible for him not to know this situation. The only result is that he does not have wind jutsu. As for Kakashi having all attributes in the setting book, that is just a setting.

Theoretically, chakra attributes, that is, property changes, can be cultivated, but most people can only cultivate one or two, and they are mainly related to their own innate attributes. For example, Sasuke's fire and Naruto's wind are innate chakra attributes.

Most people have innate chakra attributes, only a very few do not, such as Rock Lee, whose chakra attribute is nothing.

Please note that the attribute of chakra is nothing, not that there is no chakra in the body. The so-called power of Eight Gates Ninjutsu is also based on chakra.

"You want to run there."

Zabuza's figure suddenly appeared in front of the four people who were escaping. The figure was looming in the thick fog, and an invisible sense of oppression made Naruto stop his actions.

"Let me give you a ride." A figure appeared vaguely in the fog, and then swung the beheading knife in his right hand.

"That's enough, Zabuza." Just as Zabuza was about to take action, a kunai suddenly appeared on his neck, and Kakashi's figure emerged in the mist.

Hearing Kakashi's voice, Sasuke and Sakura both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Taking this opportunity, Naruto hurriedly reminded Sasuke and others to leave quickly.

"Kakashi, humph."

Zabuza snorted coldly and ignored the kunai on his neck. He was about to chop Naruto and the others who were leaving with the beheading sword in his right hand, but the next moment the kunai pierced his neck.

"That's it for you, Kakashi."

Zabuza, whose neck was pierced, turned into a puddle of water. At the same time, another one could not stand and appeared behind Kakashi. When his voice sounded, he used his beheading sword to cut Kakashi in half.

"Water clone, when?"

Zabuza, who originally thought he had killed Kakashi, was immediately shocked when he found that Kakashi, who was cut in half, also turned into water. Then he swung his beheading sword horizontally to the right. There was a sound of "dang" and a ball of sparks splashed in the mist. This was the sound of Kakashi's kunai piercing Zabuza's beheading sword.

Dang Dang Dang.

In the thick fog, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard continuously. It was obvious that the two men were fighting fiercely in the thick fog. For Sasuke and others, the thick fog completely blocked their vision, but for Kakashi, the thick fog only caused him some inconvenience.

"Wait a minute, the fog seems to have cleared."

The four people who were about to run out of the range of the Mist Hidden Technique suddenly found that the fog had dissipated. The four people couldn't help but stop temporarily, and then they saw Kakashi trapped in a water prison by Zabuza on the water surface on the side.

"I didn't expect this scene to happen again." Seeing Kakashi trapped in the water prison just like in the original story, Naruto couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Sasuke, Naruto, take Dazna away quickly." Kakashi shouted to them in the water prison.

"That won't do. He's a jonin. Without you, Kakashi-sensei, we are no match for him. Sakura, you stay and protect Dazna. Sasuke, go ahead."

Then Naruto and Sasuke rushed towards Zabuza on the water from the left and right.

"It's a smart choice, but unfortunately, you are too weak."

Zabuza, who was maintaining the Water Prison Technique with one hand, formed a seal with the other hand, and then another Zabuza appeared on the sea. It was the Water Clone Technique.

"It's really troublesome without the Shadow Clone Jutsu. I'm sorry Sasuke."

Looking at Zabuza's water clone blocking their way, Naruto suddenly moved and flashed to the right, leaving Sasuke to face Zabuza's water clone alone. He took the opportunity to throw four shuriken and four kunai at Zabuza's real body.

"Do you think you can save Kakashi this way?"

Looking at the flying shurikens and kunai, Zabuza's real body snorted coldly, then drew out the beheading sword behind his back with his left hand, and held it horizontally in front of him to block the shurikens and kunai.

"Detonating charm."

But the next moment, Zabuza's real face changed. There was nothing wrong with the four shurikens, but one side of the four kunai was pasted with detonating tags.

Generally speaking, when ninjas use detonating tags, they tie them to the handle of the kunai, but this can easily be discovered by the enemy. Naruto, on the other hand, sticks the detonating tags on the kunai, which greatly increases its concealment.

"You little brat."

Zabuza's roar was drowned out by the continuous explosions. Kakashi and Zabuza jumped out of the smoke.

"Well done, Naruto." Although the detonating tag covered him as well, the water prison technique was eventually lifted. While speaking, Kakashi threw a kunai and solved the water clone of Zabuza who wanted to kill Sasuke out of anger.

Sasuke was in a miserable state at this time, being beaten by Zabuza's water clone and vomiting blood.

"Sasuke." After Zabuza's water clone disappeared, Sakura immediately rushed towards Sasuke who was lying on the ground with a worried look on her face.

"That's it, Demon Zabuza." Because of his carelessness, he was trapped in the water prison technique. Kakashi was extremely serious at this moment.

"Humph, Sharingan Kakashi, I just let you escape by luck. After I kill you, I will settle the score with that brat."

Naruto's detonating tag did not hurt Zabuza, but for Zabuza, being teased by a little kid like that was a great humiliation. As he spoke, Zabuza put the beheading sword behind him and began to make seals quickly with his hands.

At the same time, Kakashi, who was opposite him, was doing the same thing as him.

"Even if I hadn't taken action, Kakashi, who was trapped in the water prison, wouldn't have been killed so easily by Zabuza."

Retreating back to Sasuke and the others, Naruto looked at the two people doing the same action, and couldn't help but wonder how Kakashi would have escaped if he hadn't taken action. This man had the title of being 50-50 with Hatake, and he didn't even show any fear when fighting against Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Water Escape Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

Zabuza and Kakashi completed their seals at the same time, and two huge water dragons rose from the water behind them, rushing towards each other with bared fangs and claws.

With a loud bang, the two water dragons died together, and huge water droplets were scattered everywhere, just like a sudden rainstorm.

"impossible."

Seeing that Kakashi had completed the hand seal at the same time as himself, Zabuza, who didn't believe it, immediately started to form hand seals again, but this time it was not the Water Dragon Bullet seal.

"The art of water escape from a large waterfall."

Although both of them formed hand seals at the same time this time, Kakashi was a little faster than Zabuza, which shocked Zabuza very much. He couldn't believe that the person who copied him was even faster than him. It was this slight hesitation that caused Zabuza to be caught in the great waterfall technique released by Kakashi.

"It's really powerful, but I'm not going to pretend this time."

The Great Waterfall Technique directly destroyed a small half of the forest on the shore. Zabuza was caught in it and was dizzy due to the current. As soon as the current stopped, a figure with a forehead protector of the Mist Village and a white mask on his face suddenly appeared beside Zabuza and took him away.

When Kakashi saw this scene, he wanted to stop it but he was powerless. Although he had won the previous battle, he was also exhausted and could no longer fight.

"I have to lie down for about a week after each battle, but this is a good thing for me."

Then Naruto carried Kakashi on his back, Sakura supported Sasuke, and they headed towards Dazna's house.

"You guys rest here first, I'll go get some information."

After settling Kacasian down, Naruto found an excuse and came to the town of Wave Country, intending to start from there to find Cardo, Zabuza, and Haku.

"If you want to settle accounts with me, Zabuza, I will automatically deliver the goods to your door."
