Konoha: The female ninja's life collapsed after the diary was exposed.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Sasuke Uchiha's face lit up with excitement.

at last,

Finally, I don't have to do those damn D-level missions every day anymore?

"Sasuke, don't get excited yet."

"A C-level mission is not the same as a D-level mission; you could die if you're not careful."

Kakashi Hatake offered a quiet reminder from the side.

"Humph!"

"Kakashi, don't underestimate me."

"I'm not the same person I used to be."

Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly.

He has already awakened the one-tomoe Sharingan.

Chakra also increased several times over.

He now,

It's also enough to maintain a shadow clone for a whole day to deal with those D-level missions.

Thinking of this,

Sasuke Uchiha secretly glanced at Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto,

Just watch.

This time I'll show you what I'm made of.

The powerful force within the Uchiha clan's bloodline!

"Look, what did I say?"

Seeing Sasuke's lips curl up again, Naruto shrugged at Sakura.

Sakura covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

She remembered Naruto's evaluation of Sasuke in his diary: Sunny Day!

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Sasuke felt like he was back to normal.

This phrase is a perfect description of Sasuke.

"Lord Third Generation, please tell us about the mission."

Kakashi Hatake asked.

"This mission is an escort mission."

"The client entrusted us, the Konoha ninja, to protect the bridge-building experts until the bridge is completed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Naruto Uzumaki's eyes lit up.

Could it be an escort mission to the Land of Waves?!

If he remembers correctly,

The country of waves,

It is a small island nation.

All the lines connecting the island to the outside world have been controlled by the merchant Kado.

In order to escape the oppression of Gato, the bridge-building master Tazuna plans to build a bridge spanning the land and sea with the people of the Land of Waves.

Therefore,

Tazna was being hunted down by Kado.

In order to save his life, Tazuna took the money collected by the villagers and came to Konoha, hoping to hire ninjas to protect him.

In the original work,

It was Kakashi and his Team 7 who helped Tazuna successfully build the bridge.

"This is like a pillow sent to someone who's just fallen asleep; I happen to be short of money."

Naruto Uzumaki thought to himself.

Gato is one of the wealthiest men in the ninja world. If we control him, he will never have to worry about money again.

As a time traveler,

Naruto Uzumaki doesn't share the same awareness as other ninjas who don't attack ordinary people.

He's determined to get Kado's money!

"A mission to escort them out of the village?"

"Third Generation Lord, are you sure the mission is Rank C?"

Kakashi Hatake asked.

The Land of Waves is quite far from Konoha, so it's best to ask around.

"The mission level is determined by the information provided by the client. You should ask the client for details."

After finishing speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi called out towards the door.

"Tazuna, come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man wearing glasses and reeking of alcohol walked in.

"Hello, we are the ninjas who will escort you this time."

"I'd like to confirm the mission details with you."

After Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, he briefly introduced Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno to Tazuna.

"what?"

"I've spent so much money, and this is the kind of kid Konoha is going to send to fob me off?"

"I disagree! Replace him!"

After hearing what Kakashi Hatake said, Tazuna immediately started shouting.

"Hey, who are you calling a brat?"

Sakura and Sasuke were annoyed.

Especially Sasuke,

He is the last genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, bearing the honor of the Uchiha clan alone. Now he has awakened the Sharingan. He is no kid!

"If you're not kids, then am I, this old man, a kid?"

Tazna snorted coldly.

“Mr. Tazuna, although the three of them are young, they are all excellent genin who graduated from the Ninja Academy.”

"It's just a C-level commission, which is more than enough for me."

Kakashi Hatake patiently explained.

"That's not OK."

"I don't trust these brats at all."

"What use would such a brat be if we encountered danger on the road?"

Dazner still shook his head and refused.

"Don't worry, I will be accompanying you on this escort mission as well."

"I am Kakashi Hatake, a Jonin from Konoha Village."

“Normally, the fee you paid wouldn’t be enough to hire a Jonin.”

“I see…”

Upon hearing Kakashi Hatake's words, Tazuna nodded thoughtfully.

Subsequently,

He waved his hand impatiently.

"so be it."

"But these kids don't need to come along, do they?"

"If something happens, will you protect me or them?"

Tazna muttered.

Upon hearing his words, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura all frowned.

I've already explained it so clearly, why are you still not satisfied?

This drunkard,

Is he having a drunken rampage here?

It's just a C-rank escort mission. With a Jonin accompanying us, what's there to worry about?

Just as Kakashi was about to continue explaining, Naruto Uzumaki walked up to Tazuna.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing, you blond brat?"

Tazna asked, somewhat annoyed.

"There's something I've always found strange: even C-level missions don't necessarily involve any danger."

"But you seem very certain that we'll run into some trouble."

"Even... making you feel that we, as genin, would distract Kakashi from protecting us amidst these troubles."

Naruto Uzumaki sized up Tazuna.

"Logically speaking, a C-level mission might at most involve encountering some bandits or something, which wouldn't pose any threat to us at all."

"But you keep worrying about safety."

Speaking of which,

Naruto Uzumaki squinted, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.

"Hey old man... you're not hiding something, are you?"

Chapter 29 Earning money to support the family is tough being a man!

"How...how is this possible?"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Tazuna broke out in a cold sweat.

When assigning tasks

He did indeed withhold some information.

In fact,

To prevent the bridge from being completed smoothly, Kado has been sending men to kill him.

Therefore,

That's why he came to Konoha to hire ninjas and seek refuge.

but,

All the wealth of the Land of Waves is controlled by Gato.

Even though the villagers pooled some money for him, it was only enough for the commission fee of a C-level mission.

If he tells the truth, Konoha will definitely not accept his request.

Therefore,

He would only choose to conceal these things if there were no other options.
