Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

Also, if you want to complete your revenge on Uchiha Itachi, you must first leave the village, and the current incident with Kimimaro is a good opportunity.

Besides, I still have a reward that I haven’t received yet.

"No."

However, Jiraiya shook his head and rejected Sasuke's proposal.

"Why?!"

"As a newly promoted chuunin, you are also a strength of Konoha Village. It is impossible to waste so long on Kimimaro."

Jiraiya replied.

While Sasuke was thinking, Naruto interjected:

“I also want to visit the Kingdom of Water.

"These days, doing genin tasks like finding dogs and weeding all day long is really boring!"

Naruto complained.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head and said to Jiraiya:

"What if I accept a mission related to going to the Kingdom of Water?"

This morning, after seeing Sasuke's transformation into Orochimaru, Kimimaro seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

In the subsequent conversation, Kimimaro said that maybe it was the humidity in the rain that made him feel inexplicably kind and familiar.

If you think about it carefully, it should be the taste of hometown.

It was also based on this opportunity that the demand for "returning to one's hometown" was discussed.

Speaking of which, Kimimaro just wanted to go back to that country to have a look, without a particularly clear purpose or direction.

Then doing a mission by the way will probably not have much impact.

After hearing Sasuke's suggestion, Jiraiya immediately thought it was an idea.

Not only did he complete the mission, but he didn't give up on Kimimaro, and at the same time, he also allowed Sasuke to go out and experience it again.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya made a prompt decision and agreed to Sasuke's request.

-

Compared to other big countries, there are far fewer tasks related to the Kingdom of Water.

The Water Kingdom has always been isolated overseas and has been subject to severe geographical isolation.

At the same time, starting from the Third Mizukage, the Kingdom of Water has further adopted a closed national strategy, and its interaction with the outside world has been increasingly reduced.

In recent years, there has only been information coming out from time to time. It was a place where civil war continued.

Jiraiya sent someone to sort out all the mission documents received recently, and there were only four related to the Kingdom of Water.

Among them, three were A-level and above war mercenary commissions, and only one B-level mission was more suitable for sending Sasuke to accept the commission.

"Find Zabuza's decapitating sword and escort it to Kirigakure Ninja Village."

This idiotic task has been pending for a year. All the major ninja villages must have received this request, but no one has taken over it.

The reason why I call it an idiot is because Kirigakure is only willing to provide a bounty of two hundred thousand taels according to the standards of B-level tasks.

Come on, travel expenses aren’t enough, okay? !

For ordinary people, if they can find a beheading sword and sell it on the black market, it will cost at least two million taels.

Although Kakashi and others knew exactly the whereabouts of the beheading sword, they never responded to this whimsical and idiotic mission out of respect for Zabuza and Haku, as well as disrespect for 200,000 ryo.

Could it be that this is another charity job?

Jiraiya said that he must not do this.

It is certainly painful to be unable to quickly recruit Kimimaro for one's own use, but it is even more unacceptable and painful to see that the neighboring country has increased its strength without doing anything!

After unanimous discussion among the staff, Jiraiya finally decided that he could go to the Kingdom of Water, but this mission still had to be done in a different form.

The final plan is to use the beheading sword as a gift to open the door to negotiations with Kirigakure Village.

The purpose of the negotiations is to strengthen trade and ninjutsu exchanges and strive to develop Kirigakure Village into a friendly ally.

A small but still important step towards the peace in the shinobi world that Jiraiya believed in.

Then, the nature of this task has risen from the initial lost and found to a diplomatic matter between countries.

After discussion, it was finally decided that the diplomatic team would be led by Shikaku Nara and include the following four members:

Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto and Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino.

The first two were recommended by the Hokage himself, while the latter two were selected by the team leader.

Among them, Kimimaro, as a non-staff member, accompanied him on the trip.

Before leaving, Hyuga Neji heard that his destination was the Kingdom of Water, and that he was working hard to practice water escape ninjutsu, and Sasuke was also participating.

So I personally found the Hokage-sama and asked for help.

Eventually, the same was incorporated into it.

A group of seven people set off from Konoha in a mighty manner.

Under the leadership of Naruto and Sasuke, they set off for the first stop of this journey - the Land of Waves.

What? What about the reward of two hundred thousand taels, you ask?

Forget it.

This is diplomacy and friendship.

Talking about money is too vulgar.

Besides, 200,000 taels is not worth the exit opened by Wuyin Village! ——

Compared with the vitality of summer, the seaside in winter seems deeper and more vigorous.

The biting sea breeze brought with it the damp and cold air, seemingly blowing through the entire person.

"Ming, man, bridge."

Nara Shikaku raised his head and muttered to himself.

"I didn't expect you to be quite capable."

He lowered his head and said to Naruto.

"Of course, in this place, I am a hero!"

"Then why not call it Kakashi Bridge, or Sasuke Bridge?"

Ino asked playfully.

Along the way, everyone has heard the story of Team 7's battle with Zabuza in the Land of Waves.

After the mission was over, Kakashi buried Zabuza and Hakuhe together, and inserted the decapitating sword in front of the grave.

Hearing Ino ask this, Naruto said proudly: "Of course it's because of me, uh, because, hey, everyone likes me better!"

He originally wanted to say that it was because he was the most powerful, but as he spoke, various images flashed through his mind.

At that time, Team 7 supported each other and the close cooperation in the battle was vivid in his mind. Naruto really couldn't say such big words, so he changed his words again.

Ino covered her mouth and snickered, moved to Sasuke's side, leaned very close and said:

"If you ask me, it would be better to call him Sasuke Ohashi."

Sasuke blushed and dodged backwards.

What's the point of this kind of thing?

"Come on, it's freezing"

Shikamaru muttered, taking a step ahead.

Everyone followed one after another, interrupting the previous conversation and saving Sasuke from his embarrassment.

Chapter 104 Beheading Sword

Probably because of the winter, Zabuza and Haku's Tomb looked very desolate.

The surrounding big trees are bare, their trunks standing bleakly, and the gloomy sky is like a huge gray curtain, making people feel like there is no way to escape, as if time has never passed.

The beheading sword is still standing there, and although the tombstone has been slightly weathered, it is still clean.

The offerings in front of the tomb also show that this place is not unattended.

Sasuke and his party came to get the sword, but Kimimaro was not interested and did not come with them.

Looking at the tombstone, Naruto couldn't help but recall that it was in this place a year ago that he initially established his own ninja way under the influence of Zabuza and Haku.

Ninjas are human beings and cannot and should not be tools without emotions.

Then he swore in front of the tomb, "I will take a path that I will never regret and move forward courageously."

Now, he is involved in protecting Konoha, has a deep bond with Sasuke and Jiraiya, and has also learned powerful ninjutsu like the Rasengan.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

But Bai, who was so young, stayed here forever his whole life.

"Who are you?! Don't touch that knife!"

A child's voice came, and everyone turned to look. It was Inari, the grandson of bridge-building expert Tatsuna, who regarded Naruto as a role model.

"Inari! Are you the one who's been cleaning Zabuza and Haku's graves?"

Naruto asked happily.

"Naruto-nii!"

After seeing the person clearly, Inari was also very happy, ran over quickly and threw herself into Naruto's arms.

"I have always abided by our agreement."

Inari raised a few snacks in his hand to show that he often came here to make offerings.
