I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 33 Reliable Sakura, and the Spectator Yagyu

The Land of Waves is a small island surrounded by the sea, and a country without ninjas.

Before the Naruto Bridge was built, the only way for people in this country to travel to land was by boat.

That's why Tazuna wanted to build a bridge to connect the Land of Waves to the Ninja Continent and revitalize the island's economy.

The Land of Waves is located at the eastern end of the Land of Fire, separated from the mainland only by a bridge spanning the sea.

So unlike the journey through the Iron Mine Village in the Land of Rivers, Class 7 only needs to traverse forest paths to reach the seaside, and then take a boat to the island to reach their destination.

Along the way, after getting tired of the scenery, the seventh class started chatting.

During this time, Kakashi Hatake and Sakura both taught Naruto, who was illiterate, some basic knowledge.

At least it made him understand the situation in the ninja world, the one-country-one-village system between countries and ninja villages, and the status and influence of the Five Kage.

Otherwise, this guy who keeps saying he wants to become Hokage might think that Hokage is just a village chief.

Wearing a red cheongsam, with pink hair reaching her waist, Sakura, with her classic and elegant demeanor, like Hinata, occasionally uses her sensory abilities to observe her surroundings.

Looking at the quiet yet reliable Sakura, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Kakashi Hatake's eyes.

Although Sakura doesn't have many offensive techniques, her sensory abilities and medical ninjutsu can make up for the team's shortcomings.

Moreover, the girl seems to have someone she likes, and she doesn't favor any one person in the team. She treats everyone equally and helps whoever is right, which always helps resolve the conflict between Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha.

This girl looks a lot like Lin.

Thinking of the girl he had killed with his own hands, Kakashi Hatake's eyes darkened again.

Seeing Sakura's vigilance, Yagyu was very satisfied.

These are all the results of his training!

As a time traveler, Yagyu, whose narrative level surpasses everyone else's, has been extremely cautious since childhood.

This caution also influenced the three women, Ino, who grew up with him.

During their training, Yagyu often honed their sensory abilities.

This ability to constantly perceive one's surroundings has become an instinct for the three women of Ino.

Neither Hinata nor Sakura disappointed Yagyu.

They are all far superior to the original works.

However, the cautious Sakura still failed to spot Yagyu.

Even Kakashi Hatake, an elite Jonin, didn't notice that a figure had been following them for a hundred meters.

To test Red Eyes' illusionary abilities, Yagyu would periodically close the distance between himself and Class 7 to see if they would notice him.

As the natural enemy of one of the three great dojutsu, the red eye's ability did not disappoint Yagyu.

The illusion ability is so powerful that even farsightedness and X-ray vision cannot detect it; ordinary perception cannot detect it at all.

However, remembering that his Sharingan could detect the red powder in the red eyes, Yagyu did not get too close.

If Kakashi Hatake were to pull up his headband, his three-tomoe Sharingan might detect the red powder.

And so, Yagyu followed Class 7 slowly forward.

The following morning, the seventh bus was about to reach the eastern end.

After passing through another forest path, the sea and the Land of Waves lie ahead.

Just then, a large puddle of water suddenly appeared on the road in front of Class 7.

Seeing the puddle, Liu Sheng looked up at the azure sky and remained silent for a moment.

Although this place is near the sea, surely they wouldn't do something so idiotic?

How far apart are the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves?

It hasn't rained for days, yet they dare to fake such a large flood; isn't that just a classic case of protesting too much?

At that moment, Liu Sheng suddenly realized the importance of academic subjects.

Even a Chunin can't beat a Genin if they don't have a brain.

really……

Aside from Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura both glanced at the puddle with a glint in their eyes.

Sakura made a coded gesture, and only after seeing Sasuke Uchiha nod slightly did she breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when she glanced at Naruto beside her and saw that he was still humming a song, she was speechless.

What's wrong with this guy?

She clearly possesses the forbidden-level Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and her chakra reserves are many times greater than hers. Her true strength is far from being a bottom-tier performer. How can she be so blind?

Fortunately, her other teammate was Sasuke Uchiha, the only one in the class who could hold his own against Yagyu for a while, otherwise Sakura would have really lost her temper.

It's unimaginable how happy Hinata must be now, having been assigned to the same group as Yagyu.

Just like in the original story, as Team 7 passed by the puddle, two figures suddenly emerged from the water, holding a chain in their hands. They bound Kakashi Hatake, who had somehow ended up at the back of the group, and dismembered him.

This scene terrified Naruto.

Sakura stood in front of Tazuna, holding a kunai in one hand and a few beads in the other.

Uchiha Sasuke rushed towards the Demon Brothers, swiftly knocking them both to the ground.

Before Naruto could even react, Sasuke Uchiha easily defeated the Demon Brothers.

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake, who had been dismembered, reappeared in front of Team 7.

First, they interrogated the Demon Brothers, and then they hurt Naruto's heart by apologizing.

As Naruto pierced his hand with a kunai, swearing an oath through self-harm, the loser officially began his transformation.

Later, under Tazuna's moral pressure, Team 7 decided to complete the mission and escort Tazuna home.

Upon arriving at the beach, Tazna's companions were already waiting for him.

Class 7 traveled to the Land of Waves in a small boat, while Yagyu walked on water.

Today, the land of waves is shrouded in thick fog this morning.

This was a good thing for Tazuna, as it allowed him to avoid the patrolling ronin and return home with Squad 7.

But he didn't know that, because they couldn't contact the Demon Brothers, a powerful Jonin was already waiting for them ahead.

When a massive cleaver, like a giant shuriken, spun and flew over the heads of Team 7 who had just ducked down, an elite Jonin-level duel was about to erupt!

Unlike Raiga Kurosuki, who needed to protect the person behind him, Zabuza Momochi didn't need to protect anyone, allowing him to unleash his full power.

On the other hand, Kakashi Hatake found himself in a similar situation to Raiga Kurosuki, needing to protect Team 7 and Tazuna behind him, which weakened his strength.

However, Yagyu paid no attention to the duel between the two Jonin. Instead, his eyes flashed with a red light that even his contact lenses couldn't hide, and his gaze remained fixed on a certain direction.

To be precise, it was a boy wearing an ANBU mask staring at a certain tree.

This young man is the purpose of Yagyu's journey—Shiro.

After finding Shiro, Yagyu didn't rush to make a move; now wasn't the best time.

So, Yagyu focused intently on watching the duel between the two Jonin.

Just like in the original story, Kakashi Hatake, who hadn't had a high-intensity battle in a long time, was distracted and was tricked by Zabuza Momochi's Water Prison Technique, temporarily losing his ability to fight.

However, since it was the main body that cast the Water Prison Technique, Zabuza Momochi could only create a water clone to deal with Team 7 and Tazuna.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto, who had overcome their fear, abandoned their usual bickering and displayed amazing teamwork, directly bypassing the water clones to attack Zabuza Momochi, forcing Zabuza to dodge and also breaking the Water Prison Technique.

Having broken free of his restraints, Kakashi Hatake began to go all out, determined to show Zabuza Momochi the power of the Leaf Village's copy ninja.

In the end, Zabuza Momochi was defeated by Kakashi Hatake, whose hand seals were faster than his own, using Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

Whoosh...

Just as Kakashi Hatake was about to deliver the finishing blow, a sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out.

Several senbon needles pierced Zabuza Momochi's neck.

Haku, disguised as a member of the Hidden Mist Anbu, also appeared in front of Team 7 in an instant. After obtaining Kakashi Hatake's permission, he took away Zabuza Momochi's body.

Having finally waited for the perfect opportunity, Yagyu immediately followed in a flash.
