"Yuki no Kuni entrusted me with a mission? An escort mission? There must be a lot of experts, right?" In the training ground, Sasuke who had just received the mission, had eyes full of excitement and desire to fight.
Finally, I have to accept these high-difficulty missions. This is the only way to increase my combat experience. Soon, I will catch up with Naruto. Hahaha Naruto did not expect that I would have the opportunity to fight with Ninja who was good at Hyōton. If he knew, he would envy me to death!
Sasuke raised his head and laughed wildly. He was extremely happy inside.
After being suppressed by Naruto for so long, he finally stood up.
"But Sakura isn't here, didn't that guy Sai come back to the Root temporarily to deal with urgent tasks?" Sasuke then thought of something and looked at Kakashi in confusion.
"Ah~ The reason is like this. It is because of this that I let Guy's team carry out the mission with us." Kakashi's tone was as lazy as usual.
"Huh? With Neji and the others? No need, I can do it alone. I don't need to drag them down." Sasuke snorted.
Hyuga Neji was defeated by Naruto during the exam.
If he cooperated with Neji, it would prove that he was not as good as Naruto and needed to cooperate with his defeated opponent.
"I, Uchiha Sasuke, am not weak in my life. Kakashi, it is enough for me to go alone."
"You are wearing a mask. Your disciple is too strange. Can you not bring him?" Kazahana Koyuki who was beside Kakashi, said expressionlessly.
"Who are you, woman?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes in displeasure.
"I am the person you entrusted to protect this time." Kazahana Koyuki had a look of disdain. "You look so handsome, but why do you look like you have a bad brain?"
"Hey, woman." Sasuke looked at Kakashi with dead fish eyes. "Hey, Kakashi, why do you always take some escort commissions? Do you have any weird hobbies?"
"Ummm" Kakashi looked like a dead fish, looking very helpless.
"Hey, you pretty boy. How old are you this year? Is it still Genin?"
Along the way, Kazahana Koyuki kept mocking Sasuke.
Sasuke was so angry that her face was almost crooked.
"Hey, woman, don't talk nonsense. I will protect you this time. Don't underestimate me, hmph." He hugged his arms and said coldly.
Soon, they met up with Guy's team.
After some small talk, they embarked on the journey to Yuki no Kuni.
On the way, they also talked about Rock Lee and Naruto.
They all felt deeply sorry for their companions who joined Root, but they also expressed understanding.
"It is good to be able to join Root. After all, Root is a department that is as famous as Anbu." Kakashi said.
"Root? I have never heard about it before."
Looking at the student's puzzled face, Guy and Kakashi explained, "This is a very mysterious department."
Kazahana Koyuki, who was at the side, listened to this and interrupted, "Hey, your two companions who joined Root must be very powerful. You are both Ninja who failed to advance, right?"
This sentence was like a thorn in Sasuke's heart.
He angrily argued, "What do you mean failure? The root is not a great place! Also, I am not worse than Naruto. I am very strong."
But his defense is so pale.
On the contrary, he was like an incompetent and furious little lion.
...
Naruto appeared on the other side of the forest and hid himself, following Sasuke and the others.
Considering that Neri's Ninjutsu's signature was too obvious, it was easy for people to find out that it originated from Konoha. In addition to Rock Lee's terrible performance in the last commission, the commission this time was left to him alone.
Perhaps it was because Danzo's trust in Naruto had increased, or because Root was lacking in manpower, he did not send any Jonin to keep an eye on him.
As the saying goes, Root was still relatively free.
After Naruto left the village again, Sandaime found Danzo and asked with dissatisfaction, "Why is Naruto always out of the village doing missions?"
For the village,
Naruto is a very important strategic resource. If something happens outside, it will be a big loss for Konoha.
Regarding this, Danzo smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically: "In the greenhouse, Jinchuriki will never be able to be alone. Naruto is now my disciple. My concern for him is not as hypocritical as yours. He is the one I believe can inherit the Root. Whether it is his own strength or Kekkei Genkai, it is enough for him to complete the task perfectly. Even if he fails, he can escape unscathed. He can use his brain to carry out the task, but unlike you, whose arm was cut off by his disciple, Hiruzen."
Faced with Danzo's ridicule, Sandaime was so angry that he smoked his pipe, but he was unable to refute it.
In terms of IQ, Naruto crushed the same period.
Coupled with the abnormal ability of Kyōka Suigetsu, it was absolutely difficult for Jonin to kill Naruto.
"Then you have to pay attention to Naruto's growth. I don't want Root to hinder Naruto's growth." Sandaime looked deeply at the high-spirited Danzo and said.
"Don't worry, I have a full set of plans. Naruto will grow according to my plan. In the future, he will become the most advantageous Sword in Konoha!"
"Hmph!" Sandaime was furious and stormed off.
"Bang." Hearing the pleasant sound of the door being watched, Danzo was filled with emotion.
Finally, the person who left was not him.
He looked at Hokage's building with fiery eyes.
When will that seat be my turn!!
...
In the quiet town of the city.
A handsome man in a kimono, who looked like a girl, sat in front of the stall and looked at the crowd with a smile. He shouted in a clear voice,
"Hand-made jewelry, pass by. Don't miss it."
A boy and a little girl sat next to the man and also shouted.
The passersby would occasionally stay and look at the jewelry. Their eyes were quite stunning.
Such an exquisite little item was indeed very likable.
However, in this era of war and fire, it was very difficult to survive, so how could he have the money to buy small items?
So in the past morning, there were only a few items in the stall that could be counted by five fingers.
"Sister Haku, did we not do enough? Why didn't everyone buy it?" The girl looked at the man worriedly.
The man revealed a gentle smile like a warm sun and said, "Maybe they don't have enough time to stay."
"Well, they are too poor." The little boy pursed his lips and said unhappily.
Sister Haku smiled and rubbed the boy's soft hair. His smile was as gentle as Naruto's.
The boy's little face turned red and he turned his head awkwardly.
Suddenly, Haku's expression changed. He looked into the distance seriously.
A moment later, he revealed a delighted expression. "Lord Naruto is calling me."
Lord Naruto?
The two little ones were puzzled.
"Brother Haku (Sister Haku), is it the Naruto who saved you?"
"Yes, I want to go. Stay at home for the next few days and don't run around." Haku smiled and nodded.
"Sina, you have to take good care of your brother. Sino is very sloppy, you have to watch him."
"And Sino, don't go out and run around. You have to protect your sister."
Looking at the reluctant expressions of the two little ones, Haku also felt a little reluctant.
"I should be back in a few days." After saying that, he helped the two little ones clean up the stall and sent them home.
In the next moment, he disappeared from where he was and reappeared a hundred meters away.
