Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

"Well, Grandpa, please don't call me that. It sounds awkward. 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.

Tazuna wanted to build a bridge to open up a path to survival for the people of the Land of Waves.

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.

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.

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!

"Thousand Birds 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.

The Hidden Mist Chunin were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

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

Chapter 105 I even threw away the man and his knife.

"It failed!"

"I heard that you were once top-notch ninjas, which is why I spared no expense to invite you here."

Kado stormed in, fuming, having expected that the expert he had hired at a high price would be someone of great skill.

The result was such a worthless bastard?

"Stop nagging, it's so annoying."

Sitting on the sofa opposite Kado was a man whose face was wrapped in bandages. He stared at Kado expressionlessly with cold eyes.

He held his massive cleaver horizontally, the tip pointing directly at Cado's throat.

He said calmly, "This time, I will use this knife to finish him off."

Kado was skeptical: "Are you sure there's no problem?"

"It seems that the other side has also hired some very capable ninjas."

"Given the failure of the last operation, they will definitely be more vigilant."

Zabuza narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.

Are you underestimating me?

"I am Momochi Zabuza, known as the Demon of the Hidden Mist!"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare," Kado said nervously, waving his hands repeatedly.

“Of course I trust you,” Kado said, rubbing his hands greedily. “Then, after you’ve dealt with that old bastard, bring back the brats from their group for me.”

"I heard that kid is the Hokage's son. If we capture him and demand a ransom from Konoha, we can make a fortune."

Upon hearing this, Zabuza looked at Gato as if he were scrutinizing an ignorant fool.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

However, Zabuza did not try to persuade him. This guy had obviously been corrupted by money and could not think of anything else.

He's trying to kidnap the Hokage's son? What a ridiculous idea!

That's the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!

For him, massacring the nation of Bo would be a matter of half a day, and no one could stop him.

With Gato looking completely bewildered, Zabuza left those words behind, then vanished without a trace in a flash.

………………

"Almost there, almost there."

Dazner seemed somewhat excited as a river came into view not far ahead.

He pointed to the river: "Naruto, keep going along this river, and you'll soon reach the Land of Waves."

Tazner didn't hear a response and turned around.

Naruto stood still, his gaze fixed on a spot hidden by leaves in the distant canopy.

"Grandpa, come behind me, there are enemies over there." Naruto raised his hand seriously.

His senses told him that someone harbored ill intentions towards them was lurking there.

Tazuna was startled and quickly hid behind Naruto.

At the same time, he glanced at Kakashi beside him and saw that he was leisurely reading a book, showing no intention of making a move, which aroused his suspicion:

"Sir ninja, you must be a Jonin?"

"Aren't you going to help Naruto?"

Kakashi reluctantly looked up from his book and gazed at Tazuna:

"Don't worry, those guys are more formidable than you think."

Is...is that so?

"Sakura, go to Kakashi's place first."

After giving Naruto some quiet instructions, Sasuke walked over to his side.

His right hand rested lightly on the Kusanagi sword, the blade of which faintly shimmered with lightning.

"Oh? Were you noticed?"

Zabuza, who was hiding in the tree, realized that his whereabouts had been exposed when he saw that the other party had stopped moving.

He decided to stop hiding and swung his sword forcefully, sending the decapitation blade whistling through the air.
