Chapter 58 Kirigakure Kiren-Momochi Zabuza

After Kakashi tied the two ninjas to a tree, he briefly praised Sasuke and Sakura.

Then, he looked at Naruto with sharp eyes. There was mystery about this teacher's son.

Then, he turned to look at Dazna and said, "Mr. Dazna, this is the Chunin from the Hidden Mist Village."

Hearing Kakashi's words, Dazna looked panicked.

Looking at Dazna's expression, Kakashi continued, "It is well known that once the Kirigakure ninjas accept a mission, they will fight to the end no matter what the situation. Since they appear here, there must be a target among us."

At this time, the two Kirigakure ninjas couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "How could you see through our actions?"

Kakashi sighed softly, "It hasn't rained in the past few days. On a sunny day like today, isn't it strange that a few puddles of water suddenly appeared on the roadside?"

Dazna looked at Kakashi with disdain and said, "You knew it, why did you let the kid do it?"

"With ninjas of this level, I can kill them both in an instant if I want to. I just want to know who their target is. Is it you or other members of our team. But obviously, they are both coming for you. And your commission is C-level, just for us to escort you back to the Land of Waves, and protect you until the bridge is built after returning to the country, and keep you from being harmed by bandits or gangsters and other organizations on the way. Now that two ninjas from other countries have appeared, the mission level of this escort must be increased. We will also set the mission level to a high-value B-level mission or above. So I hope you don't hide anything from us, otherwise we have the right to terminate this mission."

After hearing what Kakashi said, Dazna was speechless.

Feeling the atmosphere at the moment, Naruto smiled and said, "Teacher Kakashi, this is our first escort mission, and I don't want to give up."

Then, Naruto turned his gaze to Sasuke, who said with an understanding expression on his face, "Kakashi-sensei, I also want to continue."

Sakura, who was standing by, was a little scared, but she also agreed, "Teacher Kakashi, I agree to continue."

Kakashi glanced at the three of them, sighed helplessly, and said, “Well, Mr. Dazna, I hope you won’t hide anything from me anymore.

At this time, Dazna looked at Naruto and gave him a look full of gratitude.

Naruto smiled back, and at that moment, Dazna suddenly felt that the handsome boy in front of him was extraordinary. His smile, as bright as the sun, seemed to contain a powerful force that could dispel the haze. Although he was only a young boy, he had an extremely determined look and fearless courage.

In a forest, a short middle-aged man was scolding a group of ninjas in a stern voice: "You actually failed! I heard that you were extremely powerful ninjas, so I hired you at a high price. I didn't expect that you would mess it up. You must give me an explanation!"

At this time, a ninja with a bandaged face sitting on the sofa looked impatient. Then, he pulled out a big knife, put it directly on the middle-aged man's neck and said, "Stop whining, it's really annoying. This time, let me deal with that guy myself."

Looking at the big knife across his neck, the middle-aged man suddenly lost his arrogance. He trembled and said in a gentle tone: "Really, is it really okay? I heard that the guy also hired a ninja with extraordinary strength. In addition, the assassination attempt by the ghost brothers failed. If they strengthen their vigilance, it will not be an easy task."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to anger the ninja with a face full of bandages. He said angrily: "Who do you think I am? I am Zabuza Momochi, known as the Demon of the Mist!"

On the other side, after several days of long journey, Naruto and his crew finally arrived at the Land of Waves by boat.

While riding on the boat, Kakashi finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Dazna, before we arrive, there is something I must ask you. Who attacked you? And why did they attack you? Otherwise, our mission will end immediately after Mr. Dazna goes ashore."

After a long silence, as if seeing Kakashi's determination, Dazna sighed softly and finally said, "It seems that I have to say that, as you expected, this mission is indeed beyond the scope of your original mission. In fact, I have been targeted by a group of extremely terrifying forces a long time ago, and that person is Cardo of the shipping company."

Hearing this name, Kakashi was slightly surprised and asked, "Is it the rich man Kado who is one of the richest people in the world?"

Dazna nodded slightly. "Yes, it was him. On the surface, he was the boss of a shipping company, but secretly he gathered a group of gangsters and many ninjas, selling drugs and various contraband, and even used despicable means to embezzle other companies and countries. He did all kinds of shameful things. A year ago, that guy took a fancy to the Wave Country, and with his financial resources and subordinates, he did whatever he wanted. In an instant, he monopolized the traffic and transportation on the sea. For an island country like our Wave Country, as long as we control the sea power, we can dominate the entire country. Now, the only thing that Cardo is afraid of is the completion of the bridge that was under construction before. In this way, I have become his only obstacle."

Then, Kakashi asked again: "Then I really don't understand. The opponent is a dangerous person who can even send out ninjas. Why did you hide the facts and entrust us with this?"

Dazna sighed again, "The Land of Waves is an extremely poor country. Even the Daimyo has no money, let alone me. I really can't afford the high rewards for missions above B rank, so I can only conceal it. However, it's up to you. Even if you cancel the mission after you land, I won't blame you."

Seeing that Dazna was beginning to play the emotional card and was about to continue speaking, Naruto finally interrupted and said, "Uncle Dazna, what I, Uzumaki Naruto, hate most in my life is those who bully the weak and take advantage of the people. Don't worry, we and Kakashi-sensei will protect you until the mission is over."

After hearing what Naruto said, Dazna immediately burst into laughter, "Thank you so much, you look very reliable. What's your name, young man?"

Naruto smiled a perfect smile and said, "Uncle, my name is Uzumaki Naruto."

After hearing what Naruto said, Kakashi held his forehead with a helpless look on his face. It seemed that his disciple didn't take him seriously and actually made the decision for him.
