When Sasuke arrived at the assembly point, he found Naruto and Sakura already waiting for him. They greeted him with enthusiasm, and Naruto pointed out that he was the last one to arrive that day. Sasuke couldn't help but wonder if Kakashi was running late or if something unusual had happened. Kakashi, however, appeared from a nearby tree, reading his favorite book "Intimate Heaven." He informed the team that they would be leaving the village to perform a C-level mission of escorting someone to the Land of Waves. Sasuke was excited about the opportunity to test his skills against a jonin-level opponent like Zabuza. Kakashi noticed Sasuke's good mood and wondered if his recent training with Guy had led to further improvements in his speed and control.
The team quickly went home to pack their belongings before regrouping at the Hokage building. Third Hokage gave them words of encouragement and support, but Sasuke couldn't help but feel conflicted. As someone who had witnessed the destruction of the Uchiha clan, he couldn't bring himself to feel any warmth towards the Third Hokage, despite his efforts to gain their trust.
After meeting their client, Dazna, the team set off on their journey. They had to adjust their pace to accommodate Dazna, who was not a shinobi. This gave Sasuke ample time to practice his hand seals and focus on honing his skills. Naruto, on the other hand, felt a bit lost as he didn't have any specific training to work on. Kakashi assured him that special training would be provided once they reached the Land of Waves.
During their journey, Naruto expressed his frustration at Sasuke's continuous improvement and relentless pursuit of strength. Sasuke reminded Naruto that hard work was necessary to surpass others and achieve their goals. Naruto couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and frustration towards Sasuke's dedication.
Meanwhile, Danzo, hidden beneath the underground roots of a tree, was furious about Sasuke being allowed to leave Konoha. He saw it as a potential threat and an act of betrayal by Sarutobi. He vowed to take action and prevent Sasuke from returning to the village, considering Uchiha individuals to be a danger to Konoha.
The team continued their journey towards the Land of Waves, each member focused on their own goals and motivations. Sasuke remained determined to become stronger, even at the cost of his relationships with his teammates. Naruto, although envious of Sasuke's talent, was inspired to work harder by Kakashi's promise of special training. And unbeknownst to them, Danzo's anger and resentment towards the Uchiha clan threatened to disrupt their mission and the fragile peace of Konoha.
As they traveled, the path ahead was full of challenges and uncertainties, but the team moved forward, each with their own dreams and aspirations guiding them.
