Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

Kakashi didn't think much of it and took it, ready to taste it.

He turned his back, quickly pulled down his mask, and took a big bite.

But just then!

Kakashi felt a lightness in his hand; his mask had vanished.

"Haha! So this is what Kakashi-sensei looks like!"

In the distance, Naruto in Kizaru mode was overjoyed, holding Kakashi's mask in his hand.

Kakashi looked helpless. Why did he have to use the Nine-Tails' power for such a trivial matter?

Click...

Upon hearing the sound, Kakashi instinctively turned his head, his expression showing even more speechlessness.

Suddenly, a camera appeared in his assistant's hand, and it started snapping pictures of him.

Are you all that curious about my true identity?

Kakashi touched his smooth chin and asked.

"Yeah, of course, but Kakashi-sensei, you were so handsome!"

"I thought you always wore a mask because you were too ugly to show your face..."

Naruto walked over and grinned.

"Have you seen enough? I've satisfied your curiosity. Give me back my mask."

Kakashi reached out his hand to Naruto.

Naruto tossed it lightly, and Kakashi caught it and quickly put it back on.

"Everyone, the Hokage is summoning you."

Just as Kakashi put on his mask, an ANBU member appeared and relayed Minato Namikaze's summons.

"Is Dad looking for us?"

Naruto was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with a smile.

"Great, let's go right now!"

After saying that, Naruto leaped up and, using the surrounding trees and buildings as cover, sped toward the Hokage Building.

Kakashi naturally followed closely behind, while Sasuke brought up the rear, as he also had to take Sakura with him.

Hokage Building, inside the office

"Great! With you all here, this mission will definitely be a success!"

"I am so grateful."

Tazuna grinned from ear to ear as he stood before the four members of Class 7.

The reason this old man was so at ease was simple—there was a big shot in the team.

That's Naruto Uzumaki. Who doesn't know he's the Hokage's son these days? Tazuna heard about this as soon as he entered Konoha.

He had no choice but to come to Konoha to post a mission for help because he was being targeted by criminal gangs. He was short of money and thought he could only hire a few genin.

Unexpectedly, he was assigned the son of the Fourth Hokage! How could he not be overjoyed?

Although the other party is also a genin, this one is clearly a young prodigy with extraordinary strength, after all, like father, like son.

This way, there will be absolutely no chance of failure.

"Hehe, don't worry, grandpa! With me here, I guarantee no one will dare to cause trouble. You just focus on building the bridge!"

Naruto put his hands on his hips, grinned, and revealed a row of white teeth.

He just received this mission from Minato Namikaze: to escort this old man back to the Land of Waves to build a bridge.

For Naruto, who had been training hard for days and was eager to try it out, this was exactly what he wanted, a perfect opportunity to test the results of his training over the past few days.

"Let's go, old man, let's set off now!"

Naruto's confident smile infected Tazuna, and the old man nodded repeatedly, eagerly saying:

"Alright, Naruto, please go first."

"Well, Grandpa, don't call me that. It sounds weird. Just call me by my name."

"...Then, I'll take the liberty of asking, Naruto-sama."

"Dad, I'm off! I'll be back in a few days." Naruto waved goodbye to Minato Namikaze behind his desk.

The latter smiled gently: "Be careful."

Zabuza: Shouldn't you be saying that to me?

Naruto, full of enthusiasm, took the lead, with Tazuna close behind.

Kakashi was about to follow when he noticed Sasuke standing there, looking at him with a strange expression.

He was a little confused: "Sasuke? What's wrong?"

Sasuke snapped out of his reverie: "Ah, it's nothing, I was just thinking about someone."

"Missing someone? Itachi?"

Kakashi asked directly. The reason he dared to ask this was because Sasuke no longer considered the name "Itachi" a taboo.

Over the course of their time together, whenever Itachi was mentioned, Sasuke no longer felt angry, but instead showed a sense of nostalgia.

"No, it's not Itachi."

"Alright, stop asking so many questions. You'll see him soon."

Sasuke gave a meaningful smile and quickened his pace to catch up.

.....................

"That guy Kado is a real scoundrel, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, his face filled with indignation.

He asked Tazuna out of curiosity why he wanted to build a bridge across the sea, since the Land of Waves had such developed maritime transportation that it seemed unnecessary.

But after hearing Tazuna's explanation, even the good-tempered Naruto couldn't hide his anger.

It turns out that Kado used violence and money to drive his men to control all maritime transport in the Land of Waves.

Even small fishing boats are not allowed to go out to sea.

All ships were requisitioned for smuggling, causing the people of the Land of Waves to become increasingly impoverished, while Kado grew richer and richer.

Tazna wanted to create a way out for the people of the Land of Waves by building a bridge.

But clearly, Kado wouldn't let this go easily; this was tantamount to cutting off his source of income, so he would definitely send someone to assassinate him.

"Don't worry, grandpa, even if there's no reward for this mission, I'll still help you," Naruto encouraged.

The conversations along the way made Tazuna feel Naruto's enthusiasm and kindness, and he was unwilling to deceive him.

So he confessed that there might be ninja attacks along the way, which was beyond the scope of a C-level mission and at least a B-level mission.

It could be very dangerous.

Even so, Naruto still decided to help.

"Naruto-sama, thank you so much..."

Dazner was deeply moved.

"Naruto."

Suddenly, Sasuke, who had been silent all the way, called out to Naruto.

"Hmm?" Naruto turned his head to look.

The two exchanged a glance, and Naruto immediately understood.

Something's up!

Naruto immediately became alert, and soon he noticed two suspicious puddles of water in the distance ahead.

It hasn't rained in Konoha for the past few days, and now the sky is clear and blue. Where did the water come from on the road?

There's definitely something fishy going on here.

"Sasuke, let's split up."

Naruto lowered his arm, and a small Tailed Beast Ball condensed in his palm.

"Mm," Sasuke nodded in response.

Seeing this, Kakashi continued to read with his head down. He was already used to this kind of scene, and it seemed that he could take a break along the way.

The group took a few steps forward and got a little closer when Naruto suddenly attacked!

"Mini Tailed Beast Ball!"

Naruto suddenly threw a small Tailed Beast Ball into a puddle of water.

On the other side, Sasuke's palm crackled with lightning as he raised his right hand and slashed down fiercely!

A bolt of lightning seemed to be held in his hand as he struck the water!

"Chidori Sharp Spear!"

The two Kirigakure chunin lurking in the water nearly popped their eyes out when they witnessed this scene.

They frantically surfaced, attempting to escape, but as soon as their heads emerged...

The attack had already begun.

"Your mom!"

The ninja from Kirigakure were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

Boom!!!

After a loud bang, nothing was left at the scene except for two large craters.
