61: Chapter 61 Departure to the Tea Country"This is a B-rank mission, and Naruto's presence should ensure your safety!"
"Naruto?That's right, Naruto-kun's current strength is indeed reassuring!" Sakura thought of the powerful strength Naruto had shown before and was no longer worried.
"Hmph.you're such a show-off!" Sasuke suddenly looked constipated.
There was nothing Sasuke could do even if he refused to accept it, as Naruto had indeed demonstrated overwhelming power.
"But ninja missions are often full of uncertainties and may be upgraded to A-level missions at any time.So you must not be careless!" Tsunade warned seriously.
This time the mission was to protect the contestants of the Tea Kingdom Hong Dasha competition.Because they were required to arrive at the Tea Kingdom on the same day, the three of them set off immediately.
With the ninja's speed, they quickly entered the territory of the Tea Kingdom.The three of them were so hungry that their stomachs were growling, so they prepared to find a restaurant to have a big meal.
"Please wait a moment, everyone!The food will be ready shortly."
While the three were waiting for their food, a young man at the next table suddenly stood up and walked over.
"The life of a ninja is so comfortable!You are all ninjas from Konoha!It seems that you have been living in peace for too long!Coming out for a mission is like going on a trip, without any sense of tension at all.You all look so stupid!" The man mocked the three of them.
"What did you say!You're so brave, kid!" Sasuke was already furious because of the difference in strength between him and Naruto, and when he was provoked, he exploded like gunpowder meeting open flames!
"Huh?There is such a beautiful girl here!I take back what I said!My name is Morino Idaten, may I ask your name, young lady?" His face suddenly changed after seeing Sakura.
"Let's discuss the future together!"
"What about the future?" Sakura obviously couldn't keep up with the other person's jumping thoughts.
"It's what happens after marriage!"
"Stop this ridiculous joke right now!" Sasuke couldn't control himself anymore and was even ready to break the rules and attack him!
"Even if I'm joking, what I hate most is ninjas!If you continue to hang around in the Land of Tea, I will not be polite to you!" Itaku shouted at Sasuke in a high-spirited manner.
Naruto watched this scene with interest.He remembered that this person seemed to be Ibiki Morino's younger brother and an important figure in this mission.
Sasuke could no longer tolerate the other party's ridicule and was about to take action immediately.
"Sasuke-kun!Don't forget the rules of the Ninja Regulations!" Sakura quickly stopped Sasuke.
At this time, Idatsuten had already sneaked away.
"Huh?Where are the people?" Sakura asked curiously.
"How is this possible!He has such speed!I didn't even notice how he left!" Sasuke was immediately shocked by the other party's speed.
"Sorry for the long wait, dear guests!Here is the bill, please take a look."
"Hey!Why are there two bills?" Sakura asked in confusion.
"The kid just now said you guys pay the bill and then left!"
"This is too much!How dare you play tricks on us!" The anger that Sasuke had just suppressed burned again.
"Let's finish our meal quickly and then go after him!He can't run far." Naruto suggested as he saw the two of them were about to go after him.
The three of them immediately started eating as quickly as possible.Even Sakura didn't care about maintaining her ladylike image in front of Sasuke at this time.She just wanted to teach that bastard named Idateten a lesson.
"The opponent's speed is amazing!He must have received special training." Sasuke analyzed while tracking.
Naruto didn't use his full speed, otherwise Sakura would be the first one to fail.
Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is gradually shortening.
Idade has great confidence in his speed, and even dense forests do not affect his pace at all.
Unfortunately, people are prone to accidents when they are arrogant.He accidentally tripped over a tree root as thick as his wrist and fell heavily to the ground.
Naruto and the others blocked his escape route as soon as he stood up.
"Asshole!You want to run away after you tricked us?" Sakura said angrily.
"Sorry!It's all my fault.I had to do this because my wallet was stolen!" Idakuten was not so confident in his fists and feet, so he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Hearing what he said, he seems quite pitiful.Why don't we just forget it?" Sakura felt overwhelmed with sympathy at this moment and was not going to make a fuss about it.
Seeing that everyone had relaxed, Itaten immediately took off the weights on his legs and threw them to the ground.
boom.
The heavy load raised a cloud of dust when it landed on the ground, but his load seemed too small compared to Naruto's.
Then, taking cover from the raised dust, it flew away at an even faster speed.
Naruto was too lazy to chase him.He couldn't just catch up and kill him for such a small matter!
Seeing his speed at this moment, Sasuke realized that he was no match for him, so he kept this account in mind for the time being.
"Naruto, with your speed you can definitely catch up with him easily!" Sakura said.
"How can I cultivate it!Is Naruto really not a monster?I have the blood of the Uchiha clan, and I have been practicing hard, so why am I still so far behind him!" Sasuke was stimulated again by Sakura's unintentional words.
"He's so fast, he must be no ordinary person.Don't worry, Sakura, I guess we'll meet again soon!" Naruto explained.
Sakura still believed what Naruto said and didn't say anything more.
Then the group soon arrived at the Camellia family's residence.
"Everyone, you are finally here!" Jirocho, the head of the Camellia family, showed great importance to everyone in Konoha.
"The Fifth Hokage said that you should tell us the details of the mission." Naruto asked.
"That's true.Legend has it that long ago, there were constant storms here, so people enshrined the Dragon and Tiger Jade at Hong Taisha Shrine, and the storms stopped."
"Later, this legend evolved into a four-yearly ritual.Initially, it was just about worshipping the precious jade, but in recent decades, the most powerful person has been the main priest."
"But now this event has a new meaning.The Mustard Seed family has been fighting with our Camellia family for the control of the town, causing many innocent deaths and injuries.Therefore, under the mediation of the daimyo, we agreed on this method to resolve the dispute.That is to decide the winner by competition!" Jiro explained.
"Is that the four-year Todoroki Taisha Festival?" Sakura guessed the answer.
"That's right.The other party hired ninjas four years ago and gained an overwhelming advantage.They are still the same this year.So we have entrusted Konoha Village.This time, I'm counting on you.We can't fail again!" After Jiro said this, he bowed deeply to everyone.
"Who are we supposed to protect?" Sasuke asked.
Jiro-Chang clapped his hands lightly, and then the door opened, revealing a familiar figure.
After seeing the faces of both parties clearly, the scene became extremely awkward for a moment!
