In fact, with their current strength, it is not too difficult to deal with the Ghost Brothers. However, since this is the first time they have encountered a real enemy, they were a little panicked for a moment. After hearing Sasuke's words, Sakura gradually calmed down. Naruto gritted his teeth, his face showing a full unwillingness to show weakness, he didn't want to lose to Sasuke!
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" With Naruto's angry shout, the battle situation changed instantly, and a large group of Naruto clones rushed straight toward the Ghost Brothers like a tide. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Before long, the Ghost Brothers were beaten without any ability to fight back. The two Ghost Brothers were confused at this time, and they were also wondering in their hearts: Even the captain had been killed, why were these little ghosts so difficult to deal with?
At this moment, Kakashi suddenly flashed out and said with a smile on his face:
"Well, you performed very well. I am very satisfied."
Sasuke naturally needs no more words, he is simply a monster.
As for Naruto and Sakura, although they were a little panicked at first, they were able to quickly come to their senses with Sasuke's reminder, which can be said to be quite good.
"Teacher Kakashi, you are still alive!"
Sakura shouted excitedly with a look of surprise on her face.
After hearing this, Naruto quickly turned his head and looked in the direction where Kakashi was killed before, but was surprised to find that there was only a pile of scattered tree sticks on the ground.
"Teacher Kakashi, did you use the Substitution Technique?"
Naruto asked puzzledly.
Kakashi nodded and said with a slightly regretful tone:
"Your speed of attack was too fast. I didn't even have time to figure out who their target was."
Hearing this, Sasuke responded speechlessly:
"What's so difficult about this? Just torture them and you'll know. Don't you, Kakashi-sensei, also have the Sharingan?"
Faced with Sasuke's questioning, Kakashi couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
In fact, due to his own serious lack of chakra, he tried to avoid using the Sharingan unless it was absolutely necessary.
Seeing this, Sasuke immediately glared at his Sharingan and cast a powerful illusion.
Under Sasuke's control, the Ghost Brothers immediately became honest and answered everyone's questions obediently.
It turned out that they accepted the task assigned by Gato, and this operation was directed by Zabuza himself, with the purpose of assassinating Tazuna.
"Zabuza? Momochi Zabuza!?"
When Kakashi heard this name, his face instantly became very shocked.
According to common sense, this kind of C-level mission is almost impossible to encounter ninja attacks. However, this time, not only did two chunin appear at once, but also Momochi Zabuza, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who had betrayed the village, was involved!
What on earth is going on!
Kakashi thought to himself, and his originally relaxed mood suddenly became heavy.
Kakashi looked at Tazuna with hostility and distrust!
Did this drunk old man want to put them to death?!
Sasuke then asked: "Besides Zabuza, does he have other powerful subordinates?"
Sasuke planned to find out the information about Haku and tell Kakashi.
The Ghost Brother answered dully: "There is indeed a masked boy beside Master Zabuza, but we don't know his true strength, but it feels like he should be very powerful."
After listening to this, Sasuke began to analyze and infer:
"The masked boy should be Zabuza's subordinate, and his strength may not be much less than Zabuza's."
When all the inquiries were over, Kakashi suggested:
"Why don't we just give up this mission and return directly to Konoha Village."
Kakashi was ready to give up this mission.
"Ah? This is the first time we leave the village to perform a C-level mission. How can we give up so easily?"
Naruto protested with some dissatisfaction.
"Naruto!"
Kakashi suddenly shouted sternly.
"This is not a ninja game. If we are not careful, someone might lose his life!"
"How...how can you do this! Is this how you treat your clients in Konoha? Believe it or not, I will complain to the Hokage!"
Hearing that Kakashi and the others were going to give up, Tazuna suddenly became anxious.
Kakashi glanced at him and said:
"Okay, we just need you to go back to Konoha with us. You lied about the mission level and almost caused casualties among Konoha ninjas. We really need to explain this to the Hokage."
Tazuna's face changed drastically, and he began to be at a loss.
...
At the same time, in a secret base in the Land of Waves, a short man wearing sunglasses was standing in front of a group of ninjas.
The man's name was Gato. He said to one of the ninjas in a low and commanding voice:
"I heard that you were all very outstanding ninjas. That's why we will pay you a high salary to carry out this mission."
The ninja pointed at by Gato had a thick bandage on his head. He was Zabuza Momochi, known as the "Demon of the Hidden Mist."
He replied with disdain: "Don't be so long-winded. It's giving me a headache! This time, let me use this beheading sword to kill that guy!"
Hearing Zabuza's confident words, Gato felt a little relieved, but he couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Really... is it really okay? It is said that the enemy has also invited a very powerful ninja, and coupled with the failure of the mission on the Ghost Brothers' side, they will definitely strengthen their vigilance. This is definitely not an easy thing."
"Who do you think I am? Let me tell you, I am the famous Demon of the Hidden Mist - Zabuza Momochi!"
After Zabuza finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the huge beheading sword in his hand, and the sharp blade flashed with cold light, pointing directly at Gato, as if showing him his strong strength and determination.
Gato looked at the aggressive ninja in front of him. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he had to admit that the strong murderous aura emanating from the other party was indeed not to be underestimated.
So he nodded and said to Zabuza:
"Okay, then it all depends on you. I hope everything goes well, and your reward will be indispensable after completing the task."
Zabuza sneered, put the sword on his shoulder, turned around, and disappeared into the night.
Their figures were like ghosts, quickly blending into the surrounding darkness, as if they were part of the night.
