The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Chapter 48 Easily defeated

"hateful!!"

The main gate is wide open!

The man with the pockmarked face pressed forward.

An arm raised high.

The kunai gleamed coldly under the bright sunlight.

at that moment.

It seemed to sway as if there was a slight hesitation.

But only a second later.

A sharp glint flashed in his pockmarked eyes.

It slammed down directly into the attacker's vital spot.

"!?"

This is a distance that is impossible to dodge.

The attacker gritted his teeth, turned his body to the side with all his might, and swung his right arm horizontally to block in front of him.

"Pfft!"

A powerful attack that barely managed to be blocked.

But the kunai still pierced the attacker's right arm with ease.

It ended with a dull thud as metal pierced through flesh.

"Slurp!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

The attackers couldn't help but groan in pain.

Just as the other arm, which had twisted back, was about to retaliate...

"Shh!"

Mianma had already raised his left leg a step ahead, and with a powerful kick, he struck the attacker hard in the abdomen.

The power that bursts forth.

"Wow!"

As he caused the attacker in front of him to vomit a large amount of blood, he also retreated rapidly backward like a cannonball.

With a loud "Bang!"

It crashed heavily onto the ground.

Under a double blow.

The attacker felt as if his body was about to fall apart, and before he could even recover, he was already in a state of disarray.

Mianma had already flashed to the air.

The knee strike landed heavily on the attacker's abdomen once more, rendering the attacker completely incapable of resistance.

With a flick of his eyelids, he immediately fainted.

And that was after Menma subdued the attacker.

The other side.

Sasuke also delivered a powerful chop to the neck of another attacker, knocking him unconscious.

"Aaaaaah! You two reacted way too fast!? Leave one for me!!!"

It was only after the fact that Naruto realized what was happening that he looked at Menma and Sasuke, who had each taken down an enemy, his face full of displeasure.

This is a rare opportunity for real combat after leaving the village!

We just missed out like that!!

Naruto was heartbroken and filled with regret!

"Hehe, then you'd better be quicker next time, Naruto!"

Menma took out a rope and tied both attackers to a nearby tree while looking at Naruto and speaking softly.

"Hmph, just you wait and see. Next time, I'll definitely be faster than both of you!"

Naruto wrinkled his nose and said.

"Is this the time to be discussing this?! Kakashi-sensei! Kakashi-sensei has been murdered!"

Sakura Haruno, who was not far away, seemed to have just come out of her daze. When she heard and saw that Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke were still very calm and composed, she stared at the three of them with wide eyes and subconsciously shouted out.

Sakura really couldn't understand it.

Does the death of their own Jonin instructor mean absolutely nothing to Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke?!

"Hey Sakura, take a closer look at where Kakashi was just now. Seriously, this is the second time already. Don't you have any idea how strong Kakashi is?"

Naruto heard Sakura's loud shouting.

He shook his head, pointed to where Kakashi had been sitting, and said with a slightly helpless tone.

Menma and Sasuke both maintained their calm expressions.

"what?"

Sakura was stunned when she heard Naruto's words. Then, she subconsciously followed Naruto's finger and saw that Kakashi's body had been broken into several pieces and the blood that had been splattered earlier had completely disappeared.

This is almost the same scene as it was a month ago, though not exactly the same.

This immediately caused a look of embarrassment to appear on Sakura's face.

"Ahaha, so it's a substitution jutsu..."

Sakura gave an awkward but polite smile, attempting to cover it up with a smile.

"Also, Kakashi-nii, shouldn't you come out now? Speaking of which, with your strength, you could easily defeat these two enemies, right? Why are you hiding?"

Naruto seemed somewhat dissatisfied and confused as he spoke.

"Haha, I still couldn't hide from your eyes. But I had a reason for hiding, Naruto. It was to determine who the attackers' real target was. After all, don't forget, our mission this time is only C-rank. Naruto, it's just Menma and Sasuke. You two acted too quickly. Now we can't even determine who they are!"

Kakashi stepped out from the shadow of a large tree on the right side of the road, a smile on his face after saying the first half of his sentence.

The second half of the sentence was also said while deliberately looking at Tazna.

At this moment, Tazuna finally lost his composure, and a hint of panic clearly appeared in his eyes.

"Huh? The real target? Kakashi-nii-san, what do you mean?"

Naruto is just simple-minded; he might occasionally be a little unwilling to think things through, but that doesn't mean he's an idiot.

Not to mention that Kakashi has already made it so clear!

It would be strange if Naruto still couldn't understand!

"Isn't it simple to find out who the target is? Kakashi-sensei, you must have many ways to get these two Mist Ninja to talk!"

Menma chuckled softly, glanced at the two demon brothers who were still unconscious, and then looked back at Kakashi to reply.

"That's true. You've heard what I said, haven't you, Daznasan? Don't you need to give us an explanation? Oh, of course, you can remain silent, but over there, there's bound to be someone willing to speak!"

Kakashi turned to look at Tazuna, at this moment there was no need for him to hide his feelings at all.

Menma, Sasuke, and even Naruto's gazes were fixed on Tazuna as Kakashi spoke.

Sakura, however, still had a dazed expression on her face.

He was turning his head left and right, still unable to grasp the current situation.

"Why...."

After the two Mist Ninja were subdued, Kakashi reappeared.

Tazner's expression was already tense.

As Kakashi finished speaking, Tazuna couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

He didn't mean to be ignorant.

Instead, they pretended not to understand.

He always secretly hoped that the ninjas he had hired from Konoha would come to protect him.

Those who wanted him dead would back down.

He can then enjoy a period of safety for free, until the bridge is completed.

But now all those illusions have been shattered.

"No need to ask, these people are coming towards me!"

Tazuna was quite straightforward and admitted it directly. The facts were already laid bare, and there was no point in continuing to pretend.

Tazner is an old man who has lived for decades, and he can still figure things out. He is still holding on to his last sliver of hope!

Of course, we must preserve this last bit of goodwill, which may or may not exist!

Chapter 49 A Completely Different Attitude

“Since you’ve already admitted it, you should know that missions involving ninjas are drastically different from those before. These two are ninjas from Kirigakure. In terms of mission rank, they should be at least B-rank, and considering the potential risks, setting them as A-rank missions wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Yet, the reward you gave to the village was only C-rank. You should be well aware of the difference, Tazuna-san, right? We have the right to abandon the mission directly!”

Kakashi, with a blatantly serious expression, looked at Tazuna and spoke.

Kakashi practically pointed out that Tazuna was deceiving Konoha and misrepresenting the mission level, which was an unforgivable mistake in the ninja world!

Because this would expose the ninjas on missions to unpredictable dangers. At the very least, the mission would fail, and in most cases, the entire team could be wiped out!

Therefore, Kakashi's words were by no means serious.

Dazner himself understands this.
