Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon

"Kakashi-sensei, what's going on?

Why did an enemy suddenly appear? And why did Sakura torture the enemy? "

While Sakura was still interrogating the ghost brothers, the curious baby Naruto kept asking Kakashi questions.

"Ah, you're talking about this.

Sakura had discovered the enemy's ambush long ago. Since there hadn't been heavy rain recently, the puddles on the road were too obvious.

As for torture...”

Kakashi cast a meaningful look at Dazna, only for Dazna to avoid his gaze and look uneasy.

"The torture was to confirm who these two men were targeting."

"Who the target is, does it matter? It doesn't matter how many of these small fry come."

"That's a big difference, Sasuke."

The one who answered was Sakura, who had just finished the torture.

At this time, Sakura was walking towards the crowd, wiping her sweat with a white towel.

"The mission we accepted this time is a C-level mission, and C-level missions do not involve fighting between ninjas.

In other words, Uncle Dazna concealed the mission information."

"I...I have no idea what you're saying."

Dazna was at a loss for words and could only pretend to be confused.

"Oh? Then I'll say something that Uncle Dazna can understand.

These two are the Oni Brothers, exiled ninjas employed by the great merchant Kado.

This is not the first time that the demon brothers have chased you. They ambushed you once when you were traveling from the Land of Waves to Konoha.

Last time, it was the sound of Cardo's men walking that allowed you to take a detour and escape.

However, this was not mentioned in your commission instructions, deliberately causing Konoha to misjudge the level of the mission.

Do you understand what I have said, Uncle Dazna?"

"..."

Dazna hadn't expected that Sakura could actually get so much information out of him, and was speechless for a moment.

"Teacher Kakashi, if we encounter a client like this, it's okay for us to give up the mission, right?"

"Of course," Kakashi nodded, "If the client conceals the true situation of the character, we have the right to abandon the mission."

"Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, let's go back to the village!"

Seeing that several people were about to leave, Dazna became a little anxious.

If Team 7 went back, it would be impossible for him to return safely to the Land of Waves on his own.

Upon hearing this, Dazna had no choice but to start playing the victim. After all, these people didn't look very old, and maybe they stayed out of pity for him.

"Go away, I will definitely die if you leave, and Cardo will also kill my daughter-in-law and grandson.

Don't worry, I will explain to them in the Pure Land. Everything is my fault. The Konoha ninja has no obligation to save them."

After hearing his words, Naruto and Sasuke were somewhat moved, but Sakura frowned.

My goodness, this old Deng is starting to play moral blackmail, isn't he?

"It's okay, Mr. Dazna, you can tell me the name and address of your grandson and daughter-in-law, and I will tell you when I have time..."

Sakura narrowed her eyes and gave Dazna a warm smile, but she was interrupted by Dazna.

"It's useless. You can help them temporarily, but you can't help them forever..."

Seeing that playing the victim worked, he performed even harder, but Sakura's next words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

"You misunderstood. I meant that I would send them down to accompany you myself."

Sakura still had a smile on her face and looked very happy.

But the words spoken seemed to be without any warmth.

"you......"

“The premise of moral kidnapping is that the other party must be moral.

As a ninja, you don't have any psychological burden when killing people directly. You don't think we will feel guilty for indirectly causing the death of your family, right?"

Sakura still had a smile on her face and her tone was still gentle.

But his words stabbed into Dazna's heart like a knife.

Is there mercury running through this little girl's veins? How can she be so cold-blooded?

Seeing that he couldn't fool Sakura, Dazna turned to Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi and told them about Cardo's crimes, the tragic situation in the Land of Waves, and his own tragic experience.

……

"This guy named Cardo is so abominable!"

Naruto was filled with righteous indignation and started yelling at everyone.

"If you want to go back, go back.

I have decided. The mission will continue. Even if I am the only one left, I will send Uncle Dazna home by myself!"

As he said that, he pulled out his kunai and stood firmly in front of Dazna.

Sasuke didn't say anything, but he stood silently behind Naruto and made his position clear with his actions.

Although Kakashi knew that what Sakura said was right, he wanted to stand on Naruto's side this time.

Dazna breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the little girl was a little difficult to deal with, luckily there were still many good people among the Konoha ninjas.

"Are you serious?"

Seeing everyone like this, the smile on Sakura's face finally disappeared, and she looked at her three companions calmly.

Is this the power of mouth persuasion? Just a few words can change a person's position, it's so terrifying. It seems that Nagato can persist for so long under the mouth of Naruto, who has mastered the mouth persuasion. It seems that I have misjudged him before. His will is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Naruto, do you know how extreme this old man's actions were?"

Sakura asked coldly towards Naruto, but her index finger was pointing at Dazna.

“His situation is pitiful, and I sympathize with it, but hiding information about the mission is risking the lives of our Konoha ninjas!

Sasuke, how many people in our class do you think can deal with the demon brothers unscathed like we did?

I'm not bragging. Our class of Genin graduated not long ago, and this kind of escort mission with no danger will most likely be assigned to novices like us to gain experience.

When a newly graduated Genin encounters the enemy with the mentality of going on a picnic, what do you think are their chances of survival?

I can tell you that except for the eighth and tenth classes, everyone else will surely die if they come here!"

Sakura looked calm, but she was very angry in her heart. This was the first time she was truly angry after the fusion of souls.

Sasuke lowered his head and agreed with Sakura's statement.

"But it's not just the Genin who go on missions..."

Faced with the aggressive Sakura, Naruto rarely talked back to her.

"Haha, Naruto, do you think that the escaped ninjas hired by Cardo are all scumbags like the Oni brothers?

Since you decided to complete the mission alone, I will tell you that the Oni brothers are just subordinates of Zabuza Momochi, a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

You may not know what the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen are. You only need to know that Zabuza was an elite jonin like Kakashi before he defected to the Hidden Mist Village.

As we are both members of Team 7, I will not only not stop you from carrying out your mission, but I will also build a cenotaph for you when we return to Konoha."

Hearing that the enemy was as powerful as Kakashi, Naruto fell silent.

“But I really have no other choice. The villagers simply cannot raise the money. If there is no bridge, I don’t know how many people will die!

Please, please save the Land of Waves!"

Seeing that Naruto and Sasuke were persuaded by Sakura again, Dazna had to abandon his dignity and knelt down in front of them with a plop.

Sasuke and Kakashi looked conflicted. Naruto was about to say something to Dazna, but Sakura, who didn't want him to talk again, spoke first:

"Mr. Dazna, I sympathize with your situation, and I can understand the situation in Wave Country."

At this point, Sakura changed the subject.

“But the trust is mutual.

Since you have no money, why don't you tell Konoha in advance? Even if you pay in installments or take out a loan to issue an A-level mission, you will be better protected.

Even if you don't want to borrow money, why don't you do some odd jobs to earn as much money as possible while you're in Konoha, so that you can make up for it with the mission rewards in the future; instead of drinking all day?

Even if you have picked up two cans on the roadside, I can think of it as you have tried your best!

From what I see, you wanted to release A-level tasks with the rewards of C-level tasks from the very beginning, right?

You took advantage of Konoha's trust in your client, right?"

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

After Sakura revealed his secrets, Dazna, who was still kneeling on the ground, could only hurriedly explain himself.

"I didn't...I just..."

Dazna faltered.

But Sakura, who had been speaking wittily, stopped at this moment, as if she was looking forward to what Dazna would say next.

"Just what?"

"..."

Unable to refute, Dazna remained silent.

“Naruto, now you know how bad Mr. Dazna is.

He wanted Konoha's ninja to protect him, but he didn't want to pay them enough.

To this end, he even concealed the mission information, putting his companions in Konoha in danger.

In his eyes, compared with his own life and the lives of his family, the lives of Konoha ninjas are not worth mentioning at all!"

Sakura turned her gaze towards Naruto again.

Dazna has acquiesced to his actions. If Naruto still insists on his own way, Sakura will probably apply to quit Team 7 after returning from this mission.

After all, Team 7 was a class specially established for Naruto. Whether it is the current Sharingan or the future Wood Release, they are all for suppressing the Nine-Tails.

When Naruto and I have conflicting ideas, I have no choice but to give in in the end.

Sakura could accept accompanying the prince to study, but if the prince was really unyielding, she felt that parting ways amicably might not be a bad thing.

"Sakura, I'm sorry."

After a long silence, Naruto apologized to Sakura.

"I didn't expect Uncle Dazna to be this kind of person."

After Sakura's analysis, Naruto also realized that Dazna didn't care about the lives of the Konoha ninjas at all, and he was foolish enough to want to gamble his life for him.

"It's just that, Sakura, this is my first time going out of the village on a mission, and I even begged for it from Grandpa Hokage...

I really don't want to give up. I don't want our first group mission for Class 7 to end in failure."

Although Naruto still did not want to give up the mission, his reason was for his own sake and not because he was fooled by Dazna.

Sakura nodded in satisfaction.

To use a popular saying from Bluestar:

That's your attitude.

Sakura also touched Naruto's furry hedgehog head for the first time;

I gave him a confident smile that said "leave it to me".

"Mr. Dazna, you don't want us to give up the mission.

Your daughter-in-law and grandchildren must be living in fear.”

Sakura said with a smile as she walked up to Dazna.

Dazna, who had a dead heart and a dull expression, heard Sakura's words, and it was as if he had heard the sound of nature. His eyes lit up again.

"Did not you say......"

"Yes, we, Team 7, have given up on the C-rank mission issued by Mr. Dazna."

Dazna's eyes dimmed again.

"But here is an A-level mission commission I drafted for you. You can now nominate our Team 7 to carry out this A-level mission!"

"what--?"

Dazna's face was dull, and he simply didn't want to believe his ears.

He quickly stood up, took the letter of authorization from Sakura's hand and began to examine it.

However, Dazna's expression turned ugly again.

"You actually want 40% of all tolls for the next ten years after the bridge is built!"

You know, not counting the initial investment, the manpower and material costs for daily repair and upkeep after the bridge is built will account for 40% of the income.

If he gave another 40% toll to the Seventh Class, the final amount left in his and the villagers' hands would be only a mere 20%.

"You have no choice, Mr. Dazna, your credit in Konoha is now bankrupt.

I can guarantee that if you don't agree, no other ninja will accept your mission.

Moreover, if you refuse, I will leak the information that Zabuza Momochi is hunting you, and then no small ninja village will dare to accept your mission.

Of course you can choose to go to other big ninja villages to post tasks...

But you can wait, but I don’t know if the people of Wave Country can wait.”

Sakura analyzed the situation to Dazna in a clear and logical manner.

With every word, Dazna's face turned a darker shade of blue.

After knowing that all his escape routes were blocked, Dazna could only sigh, sign and seal his name.

After pressing the hand seal, Dazna seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

If I had known this earlier, I should have taken out a loan or paid in installments.

After all, a cheap A-level mission only costs 20 taels, and if calculated at 10 taels per person, the income from building the bridge in ten years would be nearly 800 million taels. In other words, Dazna's fraud this time caused the Wave Country to lose more than 300 million taels.

As for refusing to pay? After seeing Sakura's methods, she wouldn't dare to do that even if Dazna had eight guts.

"Are you the devil?"

Thinking that Sakura had pushed him to this point, Dazna raised his inner doubts.

"Ah, why do you ask?

This is too much, people who know me well think I am an angel!"

Facing Dazna's ridicule, Sakura angrily retorted and launched a counterattack:

“Actually, Mr. Dazna, you were not without a way out just now.

As long as you give up your dignity and kneel in front of Konoha Village like you did today, maybe there will be a naive ninja like Naruto who will be fooled by you.

Moreover, I heard that a certain Taijutsu ninja who is not weaker than Sensei Kakashi happens to be such a person.

But it’s useless for you to know now, after all, the letter of authorization has been signed.”

Kakashi:......

Naruto:......

Sasuke:......

Dazna: @￥（…~！%￥

“Oh no, Uncle Dazna fainted!

Sakura, Sasuke, come and save us!

Kakashi-sensei, come and help too!"
