Chapter 164 The Demon Brothers: Try It and You'll Die
After Naruto rode in Unit-05 with Hinata through a strong gust of wind, they returned to their group.
Furthermore, Naruto put Unit-05 back.
The reason is that if it were taken out, there wouldn't be room for other people, and Hinata would feel embarrassed to sit there for too long.
Since Hinata wasn't sitting anymore, it wasn't very interesting for Naruto to sit and walk around alone, so he got off.
"Brother, you're really something, why didn't you take me with you?"
Karin followed behind Naruto, complaining.
"Well, I'll definitely do it next time."
Naruto, resting his head on his hand, replied to Karin.
"By the way, Uncle Tazuna, what's the Land of Waves like?"
Tazuna heard Naruto's voice and instinctively shuddered. He then realized what was happening and quickly explained.
"The Land of Waves is a very small island nation.
People mainly rely on sea transportation to communicate with the outside world. Although it is difficult, we were able to get by at first."
Tazuna recalled the Land of Waves from the past.
"Then why did you come to ask us to escort you back to build the bridge?"
Naruto asked curiously.
"Initially, it wasn't necessary, but ever since a merchant named Gato monopolized the Wave Country's foreign trade, the situation in the Wave Country has gotten worse day by day."
"To break his monopoly on the Land of Waves, I want to build a bridge."
Dazner said with a determined look in his eyes.
At this moment, he was not a drunkard, but a bridge-building master for his hometown.
"But what if they blow up the bridge after our mission is over?"
Naruto raised the crucial question, and Tazuna fell into a brief silence upon hearing it.
No, that won't happen.
Tazuna paused for a moment, then spoke.
"I'm not saying they won't blow it up, but this bridge is the last hope for the Land of Waves."
"Once the bridge is successfully built, the people of the Land of Waves will no longer have to endure Gato's exploitation as before."
The bridge may be blown up, but as long as Tazuna and his men's belief in resistance is conveyed, that's enough.
"It's willpower."
Kakashi said leisurely.
"Wanting to inspire everyone's will through the bridge is a good idea."
Tazuna touched his head sheepishly and said, "Actually, I'm doing this for my daughter-in-law and grandson.
If things don't change, they'll starve to death on the land of the Wave Kingdom."
Hey, don't say such heavy things in such an embarrassed tone!!!
Karin mentally ranted, but the next moment her pupils contracted.
"Brother?"
"Um."
Naruto nodded, and the group approached the puddle that Naruto and Hinata had just passed.
A knowing glint flashed in Karin's eyes.
She then adjusted her position, and the four of them silently surrounded Tazuna.
Kakashi, seemingly oblivious to Naruto's cues, walked with his back to the puddle, chatting with Tazuna as they went.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Naruto's eyes.
He didn't believe that Kakashi was the kind of person who couldn't even see such an obvious flaw.
Therefore, he was certain that Kakashi was faking it.
Honestly, how can I be so lazy?
As the group approached the water's edge, Kakashi chatted with Tazuna about his family with a smile on his face.
"So, your grandson's stepfather is a hero?"
"No, he's just someone who wants to rebel."
Tazuna waved his hand, though he did believe Keisha was a hero, he had failed.
But it's okay, he'll definitely succeed!
However, the next second, two figures flashed out from the puddle, and chains with sharp spikes instantly wrapped around Kakashi, who was walking in front.
Kakashi's body "didn't have time" to react, and he was bound by chains, revealing an extremely exaggerated disbelief in the outer eye.
With the sound of chains being pulled, Kakashi's body was torn apart in an instant, and scarlet fragments fell to the ground.
"One."
The eldest of the demon brothers spoke, and then they all turned their gaze to Naruto.
I feel like this yellow color looks familiar, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Their teacher is dead, and it's their turn next.
"Sasuke~"
Naruto called out to his underlings.
"Knew."
Almost instantly, Sasuke drew his sword, the Moonlight Blade, and with a flash of light as bright as the moon, he severed the chains that the Demon Brothers had thrown at Naruto.
The two demon brothers' pupils contracted instantly. Something was wrong; this kid was stronger than them.
Relying on the brothers' long-standing tacit understanding, they instantly rushed towards Hinata, intending to break through the encirclement and kill their mission target, Tazuna.
Sasuke's eye twitched, a hint of speechlessness flashing in his pupils, before he sheathed the Moonlight.
Honestly, wasn't it better to choose your own path? At the very least, Karin's place would be a way out. Why couldn't you just go to Hinata's side?
Sure enough, five seconds after Sasuke closed his eyes, a sound of air exploding rang out, and then two figures flew through the air in a graceful parabola before landing on the ground.
The demon brothers were unconscious, foaming at the mouth, with dilated pupils, lying on the ground with damaged limbs.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, isn't this a bit unnecessary?"
Naruto looked up at Kakashi in the tree, while the Kakashi fragments on the ground had turned into broken substitute wood.
"Well, let's see how you guys perform in actual combat. I'm not being lazy, you know~"
Kakashi scratched his white hair and said in a defensive tone.
"Tch, why don't we just have another match next time?"
Naruto rolled his eyes at Kakashi, then walked toward the Demon Brothers lying on the ground.
Tazuna stared wide-eyed at the shy-looking girl beside him, his face filled with disbelief.
Is Konoha really that terrifying? Even such a small girl is so strong?
Karin glanced at Tazuna, who was already looking like he was questioning the meaning of life, and twitched her lips.
She already knew what Tazuna was thinking.
"Kakashi-sensei, this is the headband of Kirigakure."
Naruto checked the two unlucky guys over, looked at their headbands, and then shouted at Kakashi.
"Okay, I understand."
Kakashi nodded, then looked at Tazuna with a sinister gaze and said leisurely, "Mr. Tazuna, the mission you issued was a C-rank mission, right? How come a Chunin has appeared?"
Tazuna swallowed hard, then stammered, "It must have been... Gato secretly hired someone.
I'm sorry, I really don't have any more money. My daughter-in-law and grandson are waiting for me at home. I don't want them to die of depression because of me being killed."
As Tazuna spoke, his expression turned mournful, and after squeezing out a few tears, he glanced furtively at the others.
"Oh well, Kakashi-sensei, we were already complaining that the C-rank missions were too easy."
Naruto tugged at Kakashi's sleeve and said.
"I'll make an exception and continue the mission for my student's sake."
Kakashi stared at Tazuna, startling him, before speaking.
"Thank you so much. I will definitely make it up to you when I have the money."
Dazner bowed his head and thanked him.
