In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

"Ouch!!!"

A loud howl rang out, which made Kiba Inuzuka's eyes light up.

changed!

Akamaru's voice changed.

Is it evolving into a giant wolf?

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Akamaru leaped up.

Crazy scratching...

"Alas, it seems their friendship still needs further testing."

Watching the man and dog suddenly start fighting, Xia Mu rested his chin on his hand and shook his head.

Tazuna and the others next to him nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they also realized how difficult it is to make organisms evolve.

Even Akamaru, with its limitless potential, is so difficult to evolve, let alone the fact that they don't even have a pet partner with such potential.

Sigh, it seems that the bridge will need the help of these powerful ninjas to be successfully completed.

Just then, a large puddle appeared on the road ahead, which was quite conspicuous in the dry environment under the clear blue sky.

However, because Kiba and Akamaru were playing around, it seemed that no one paid much attention.

Akamaru, who was running at the front, even accidentally stepped into the puddle.

Kiba Inuzuka, his face covered in claw marks, followed closely behind, determined to teach Akamaru a lesson.

Soon, everyone had walked past.

With Agumon in tow, Natsuki had unknowingly fallen to the back of the group.

Agumon, crouching beside the puddle, seemed a bit...

Just as he stepped over the puddle, a head with clear footprints suddenly emerged from the strange puddles.

"Hehe! The first one..."

The sinister, murderous words had just been uttered.

The last Agumon was startled and its leap across the puddle faltered, causing it to fall and stomp hard on the strange ninja's face.

They effectively shut him down from the second half of his sentence...

094: Zabuza: Where is my sword?

Then one of the Demon Brothers was stepped back into the puddle by Agumon.

The second ghost brother, however, successfully appeared.

Wow!

The chain attached to its tail, with sharp hidden weapons, wound in a huge arc, binding Agumon tightly, leaving only its large head exposed.

"What kind of strange ninja beast is this?"

"You idiot, instead of tying up a person, you've tied up a useless ninja beast?"

The strange ninja, who had been stepped back into the puddle, got up and angrily berated his companion.

"Uh, I was startled by this strange creature."

The other strange ninja, who had been reprimanded, scratched his head as he looked at the Konoha ninja who had already noticed them.

"Since the sneak attack failed, let's deal with these brats head-on."

It seems a tough battle is inevitable.

However, a few Konoha kids should be easy targets, right?

The Ghost Brother pulled hard on the chain with his right hand, grabbing the strange ninja beast that had ruined their sneak attack.

"Then let's start with this ninja beast that ruined our plans."

The demon brothers lifted Agumon high, drew their ninja swords, and were about to deliver a cruel blow.

"Agumon, use Small Flame!"

Xia Mu's voice rang out at just the right moment.

Agumon slightly raised its massive head, and a small fireball shot out from its wide-open mouth.

In an instant, it burned the head of the nearest ghost brother to a crisp.

At the same time, vines from the surrounding trees wrapped around and pulled up another ghost brother.

Fantasy: Tree Binding Kill!

The next instant, a scream rang out.

The two "little monsters" were finished.

"Mr. Tazuna! We've encountered a ninja attack before even reaching the Land of Waves. This doesn't seem to match our C-rank mission."

"Do you need to explain something?"

Kurenai glanced at Tazuna, effortlessly dispatching an assassin ninja, making her even more imposing at this moment.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Dazner's forehead, and he clenched his teeth.

Sure enough, Gato wouldn't let him go; assassin ninjas appeared shortly after he emerged.

The dangers that followed were self-evident.

Moreover, I didn't expect that the Konoha ninjas would discover the problem with the mission level so quickly.

However, they really don't have enough compensation to upgrade a C-level mission to B-level or higher.

"I...I...~~..."

The somber atmosphere around them grew increasingly intense.

Dazner's back was completely soaked with sweat.

"I...I don't know why ninjas suddenly appeared to block the way."

“But I really need you all to escort me back to the Land of Waves.”

"please!"

Dazna knelt on the ground, his forehead hitting the ground heavily.

If the pay isn't enough, they'll make up for it with acting skills, so they'll have to resort to playing the emotional card.

"Red Teacher, let's continue the mission. Agumon needs more training."

At this moment, Xia Mu chimed in.

With him around, as long as the enemy is still Zabuza and Haku, he can protect his teammates.

Furthermore, Hinata and Kiba Inuzuka also need to hone their skills in actual combat.

Otherwise, what follows will be the dangerous Chunin Exams and the Konoha Crush Plan.

Seeing Natsuki's serious expression, Kurenai Yuhi nodded: "Then, let's continue the mission!"

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, the group set off again.

"Thank you, little brother."

Tazna took a moment to run over to Natsuki to express his gratitude.

Xia Mu nodded, not exchanging much with the preoccupied old man. Instead, he took the dog leash and led Agumon into the dense forest, causing a chaotic scene.

The wild animals in the woods were so frightened that they ran around in all directions.

“Woof woof!!!”

Akamaru also huffed and puffed as he circled around Agumon.

His eyes were full of curiosity.

This little beast is incredibly strong and can even breathe fire, but it clearly remembers that not long ago, this strange little dinosaur was just a weak little lizard.

So, Akamaru would occasionally swat at it with its claws or make a pouncing motion.

But they were all scared away by Agumon's enormous, disproportionately large mouth.

……

The Land of Waves is an island nation surrounded by the sea.

Whoever controls maritime transportation controls the lifeline of the entire Land of Waves.

Today, this small island nation is controlled by the tycoon Kado.

He also has a large number of outlaws and bounty hunters under his command.

The island is short of various resources, and the people cannot be self-sufficient. They can only obtain daily necessities through trade.

Now, the villagers of the Land of Waves have no choice but to sell their endless labor in exchange for meager wages.
