Kakashi frowned and looked at Danaz who was silent.
"Mr. Danaz, Konoha Village has rules. If you don't want to tell us, then we have no choice but to abandon the mission."
Upon hearing this, Danaz sighed helplessly.
"Well, let me say...actually, there's a scary guy who wants to kill me."
"Scary guy?"
Kakashi realized that things were not simple.
"Well, you have heard of Cardo's name, right?"
"What? It's him!"
Kakashi was surprised, "This guy is in charge of many maritime trades and is a well-known tycoon in the ninja world."
"Yes, but you should know that he is a complete bastard who does all kinds of evil. In the past, he often colluded with villains and ninjas, embezzled various companies, and even controlled the country..."
"About a year ago, Cardo set his sights on the maritime trade of the Country of Waves."
"Relying on his huge financial resources, he quickly controlled the maritime trade and transportation of the Country of Waves..."
"For a small island country like the Country of Waves, this is tantamount to controlling the economic lifeline, and he also uses this to charge high transportation fees."
"So the bridge that was under construction became a thorn in his side..."
…
Danaz recounted it in detail.
Kakashi and others also understood the cause and effect.
"Mr. Danaz, why didn't you say something like this when you delegated the task?"
"Because I can't afford the high cost of B-level missions, Cardo's raging, and the country of Waves is a small country..."
Suddenly, his words changed.
"Of course, everyone in Konoha, don't worry about me, just follow the C-level mission..."
"Even if I die, you don't have to take it to heart. Except for my ten-year-old grandson who will cry to death and the residents of the Land of Waves who are looking forward to the completion of the bridge, no one will care, haha..."
Sasuke and the others were speechless.
Playing the emotional card?
So thick-skinned!
"Sasuke, what do you say?"
Kakashi turned to ask. With his strength, he was not worried that Cardo could pose a threat to him.
Moreover, maybe this time is an opportunity for experience.
"Hmph, Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei have been in the limelight this time, how can we just back down!"
"Of course, continue the mission!"
Naruto rolled up his sleeves and shouted.
Little Sakura also nodded, secretly saying that with Mr. Kakashi here, there would definitely be no danger.
"Then let's go!"
Sasuke also looked unconcerned.
Kijin Momochi Zabuza?
Still can't make him back down!
Besides, he has important matters to go to the Kingdom of Water.
"Well, the mission continues, but Naruto, your wounds need to be treated."
"You were injured by that Mist Shinobi ninja just now."
Kakashi pointed at Naruto's arm.
Sure enough, it was dripping with blood.
"Don't worry, Mr. Kakashi, this little injury is not a big deal."
"Really? According to the bleeding speed of this wound, you will die if you stop bleeding!"
"What? No, I haven't become a Hokage yet. Help!"
Naruto jumped in shock.
…
Soon after, several people came to the beach.
Rented a fishing boat and followed the map to the Country of Waves.
The sea was filled with mist and visibility was very low.
After sailing for a while and approaching the destination, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, Danaz, we haven't been found by Cardo."
The fisherman breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Haha, thanks to you, I was able to avoid that guy's eyes and ears by taking the secret passage on the sea."
"The people from Konoha will be arriving at the Land of Waves soon. I'll trouble you all along the way."
Danaz thanked Sasuke and others seriously.
"I said, don't take things too simply. Do you think Cardo will give up?"
Sasuke interrupted.
He knew very well that Zabuza would arrive soon.
When the time comes, they will be greeted by a fierce battle!
"Yes, Mr. Danaz, Sasuke is right, don't take it lightly."
Kakashi nodded.
At this time, several people passed through a tunnel, and the front suddenly became clear.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. I didn't expect there to be so many water islands here!"
Little Sakura sighed.
In the fog ahead, the outlines of a large number of islands emerged.
There are lush green woods growing on it.
At first glance, there is a sense of vitality.
Soon, the fishing boat docked.
"Danaz, I'm leaving first, please be careful."
The fisherman said goodbye to them and quickly punted away.
"Okay, everyone, I'd like to ask you to send me home safely."
Danaz smiled and led a few people forward.
"Okay, got it."
Kakashi said weakly.
"I hope nothing goes wrong on the last stretch of the road. If another ninja comes, it might be Jōnin."
He sighed inwardly.
For the C-rank mission reward, I faced off against Jōnin...
How silly!
"Forget it, just think of it as training for the little guys."
Kakashi thought.
Suddenly, his eyes turned cold and he looked towards the woods in the distance.
Kakashi flicked his hand and a shuriken flew out.
Suddenly, a snowshoe rabbit ran out from under the tree.
"What's wrong, Kakashi?"
Sasuke noticed something strange about him.
"It's nothing, maybe I felt wrong."
Kakashi shook his head, "It's better to complete the task as soon as possible."
When the people left, Sasuke turned his head and looked back, frowning slightly.
…
In the woods, a pair of cold eyes appeared.
"Interesting, it turns out to be Konoha's famous copy ninja - Hatake Kakashi!"
"It seems that this task is quite difficult, but I like this kind of challenge."
Zabuza sneered.
…
"Naruto, Sakura-chan, be careful!"
Sasuke suddenly reminded him.
Kakashi's face tightened, "He's coming!"
Suddenly, a large knife as wide as one person flew out from the woods and slashed at several people.
"spread!"
Kakashi gave an order, and several people were prepared and dodged the attack.
Bang~
The beheading knife struck the big tree, making a muffled sound.
A figure also suddenly appeared on the sword, staring at them with a fierce look.
"who is it?!"
Naruto gulped.
Looking at the pale ninja with a bandage on his face and a face like a hungry ghost, his heart tightened.
"Oh, I didn't expect that it would be you who took action this time!"
"Keiren—Momochi Zabuza!"
"Ghost man?"
Sakura and Naruto were shocked.
Kakashi stared at him and spoke slowly.
