Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

However, swayed by the students' enthusiasm, he took the first step.

"Haha, Kakashi, I didn't expect you to have stooped so low as to take on C-rank missions. Our class has already completed an A-rank mission!"

Might Guy laughed heartily. After all these years, he had finally completely outshone Kakashi.

Rank A mission!

Naruto and Sasuke looked at Neji and the others in surprise.

"Old man, why can they take on A-rank missions?" Naruto asked, dissatisfied, but Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored him.

"An A-level mission... Why? Why are others always so fast? At this rate, when will I ever get my revenge, when will I ever kill that man...?"

Sasuke roared inwardly, unaware that his nails were digging into his flesh.

Kakashi looked at the three people behind him. Sakura was somewhat reliable, but the other two... sigh...

Then look at Kai's class...

I felt inexplicably sad.

However, before Matt Kai could be happy for long, a discordant voice rang out behind him.

"Kai-sensei, answer!" Neji suddenly called out.

This surprised Lee, Tenten, and Kai, as it was the first time Neji had expressed his opinion.

Matt Kai's face darkened; this slap in the face came too fast, catching him completely off guard.

“In that case, Kakashi, I guess I’ll have to take it from you. After all, my student is in the prime of his youth!” Might Guy said with a chuckle, scratching his head.

However, Kakashi was already immersed in his own sorrow and had no idea what he was saying.

"Both sides want to take on this mission, so..."

After glancing at the two of them briefly, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already made his decision.

"Then we'll leave it to Class 9."

"Why? We were here first!" Sasuke and Naruto said in unison.

In response to Sasuke and Naruto's questions, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly replied, "Team 9 graduated a year earlier than you, and they excelled in all aspects, even successfully completing an A-rank mission."

"If you had their strength, I would naturally assign you C-level missions. But for you now, C-level missions are still a bit too early."

Might Guy chuckled at Kakashi and then walked up to Tazuna: "Well then, Mr. Tazuna, let's go."

Since it's an escort mission, it can't be completed overnight.

Neji and the others returned home, prepared some things, and then headed towards the village entrance.

There, Dazner was still waiting anxiously.

"Why did it take you so long to get here? Do you know how long I waited for you..." Tazna kept complaining.

Neji was annoyed by what he heard and glared at him fiercely. What right did someone who lied about his mission level have to point fingers?

After being glared at by Neji, Tazuna immediately backed down and obediently stopped talking.

After leaving Konoha, Neji kept glancing at Tazuna, making Tazuna feel uneasy.

For some reason, Tazna felt as if this glaring boy could see right through him, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye.

This puzzled Might Guy and the others, but they simply attributed it to the eye roll.

After all, for ordinary people, rolling one's eyes is indeed very strange.

Neji glanced at Tazuna, who was already sweating profusely beside him, and sneered, "Pretend? Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"

"Haha, Mr. Tazuna, don't worry. We swear on our youth that we will protect your safety."

Might Guy patted Tazna on the shoulder, smiling confidently.

“Yes, yes…” Natsu said with a forced smile.

Around noon, Neji and the others finally arrived at the bridge.

Unsurprisingly, I also saw the puddle of water.

Neji looked around at the barren land, then at the scorching sun in the sky, and then turned his gaze back to the puddle.

"As expected, these are two idiots!" Neji said disdainfully.

Any ninja with a brain wouldn't choose this place to ambush.

Sure enough, the moment they saw the puddle, Matt Kai, Xiao Li, and Tian Tian all gathered around.

They weren't newbies like Class 7; they immediately noticed something was clearly wrong.

"Hmm, something feels off..." Matt Kai rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

"Want to take a few shots?" Tian Tian casually pulled out a few shuriken and prepared to shoot them from a distance.

Chapter 12 First Encounter with Zabuza

"Aren't you all stuffy standing here in the sun?" Neji asked, squatting down.

The Hidden Mist Village ninja below remained silent.

“They’ll have to use shuriken over there,” Neji continued.

The two Hidden Mist Village ninjas remained unmoved.

"Tenten, look at your aim now," Neji said helplessly.

"No problem." Tian Tian excitedly threw the two shuriken away immediately.

"What?! You're really coming?!"

The two Hidden Mist Village ninjas were shocked and immediately jumped up.

At this moment, everyone sneered.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms".

"Leaf Whirlwind".

"A barrage of hidden weapons."

A few minutes later, the two Hidden Mist Village ninjas died there, their faces bruised and swollen, like beehives.

“Hahaha, youth~” Might Guy laughed, then looked at Tazuna with a gloomy expression.

"Mr. Tazuna, these ninjas from Kirigakure are here to kill you, aren't they?"

"This kind of mission that requires fighting ninjas can already be ranked as B."

"Mr. Tazner, you have misrepresented the mission details. We have the right to terminate it. Do you have anything else to say?"

Matt Kai asked sharply.

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Tazuna had no choice but to tell the whole story about how Gato had hired Kirigakure ninjas to assassinate him, and that he had lied about the mission because he didn't have enough money.

However, after hearing the whole story, Might Guy and Lee decided to help Tazuna. As ordinary people themselves, they couldn't turn a blind eye to what was going on.

Besides, that's what makes a task challenging.

Neji was going, of course. He hadn't even seen Zabuza and Haku yet, how could he go back?

Tian Tian shrugged: "Since you've all made up your minds, then naturally I'll go too."

So the group continued on their journey.

After crossing a river, they arrived in the territory of the Land of Waves and walked through a forest.

Neji looked at the somewhat familiar terrain before him and was ready to fight.

"Be on guard, protect Mr. Tazna," Might Guy suddenly said, waving his hand.

The three immediately formed a swastika-shaped formation. They also sensed the powerful chakra and chilling killing intent nearby.

Neji activated his Byakugan and looked around warily.

He knew that Zabuza was about to come out.

"careful!"

call out!

A whooshing sound rang out, and a huge blade came slashing down at them.

The group immediately pressed Tazna down onto the ground.

The decapitation blade swept past the crowd and embedded itself in a large tree.

whoosh...

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure with bandages wrapped around its head flashed and stood on the large sword that was forked across the tree.

“This sword…” Might Guy’s pupils: “You are… the Demon—Momochi Zabuza.”

Might Guy might not be very familiar with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but he is extremely familiar with these seven swords.

After all, his father died by those seven ninja swords.

Zabuza exuded an incredibly strong killing intent, and his eyes were filled with icy coldness.

"Matt Kai?"

Zabuza jumped off the sword, casually pulled out the Executioner's Blade, and said to Might Guy:

“When I was still in the Mist Shadow Assassination Squad, there was a record of you in the manual I always carried with me. You are one of the people I need to be extremely careful of.”

“Oh ho, Zabuza the Demon, I also want to have a youthful showdown with you,” Might Guy said.

"Enough with the nonsense, the guy behind you is mine." Zabuza pointed his blade at Tazuna.

“That won’t do. I can’t tarnish my youth,” Matt Kai said with a laugh.

"You guys, protect Mr. Tazner."

In an instant, Zabuza and Might Guy unleashed a terrifying aura, which made Rock Lee and the others tremble with fear.

Is this what a duel between Jonin is like? Just this killing intent alone is enough to make them lose the will to fight.

However, Neji remained completely calm as he watched all this. If he were afraid of people at this level, he might as well not live. In the later stages, anyone would be much stronger than Zabuza.
