Naruto: My Cherry Blossom Forest

"Ah ha ha ha... Of course we will escort you home safely until you finish building the bridge." Kakashi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

It didn't matter if his students forgot the assignment, but he also forgot about it. What a dereliction of duty.

Dazuna and his party set off again and arrived at the Country of Waves without any hindrance.

That night, Naruto had a fight with Tatsuna's grandson Inari.

"Uncle Tatsuna, with all due respect, if everyone in the Land of Waves is a coward like Inari, your bridge will be built in vain." Sasuke put forward a sharp idea about the current situation of the Land of Waves.

If the people of Wave Country continue to be cowardly, even if the bridge is built, it will still be occupied by Cardo, and they will not be able to keep asking the ninja village for help.

After hearing what Sasuke said, Tatsuna remained silent. Why didn't he know it? But he couldn't change other people's thoughts. He couldn't even change his grandson's thoughts.

At night, Kakashi couldn't sleep and saw Inari sitting outside looking at the moon. He thought for a moment, sat next to Inari and sighed, "Inari, I apologize to you for what Naruto said."

"But I don't think Naruto is at fault. You know, Naruto has been ostracized by people in the village since he was a child, but he is not discouraged by others' ostracism. Instead, he works harder and wants to be recognized by others."

"Cowardice is not an excuse. I'm afraid people will use cowardice as an excuse."

Inali was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know if he understood it, but his expression was still quite shocking.

Early the next morning, Kakashi and the others escorted Tatsuna to build the bridge, leaving Naruto alone to sleep in, and no one called him.

At noon, something unexpected happened. Cardo brought a large group of wandering warriors to find trouble. He wanted to kill the rebellious people.

"Huh, damn old man, he actually dared to secretly build a bridge behind my back. I really don't want to live anymore. And that Zabuza, who called himself a Kirigakure ghost, really made me laugh to death. Didn't he get beaten away in the end?" Holding a cigar in his mouth, Duo stood in front of the wandering warrior and said arrogantly, "I have also sent people to arrest your daughter and nephew. If you don't want them to die, you'd better listen to me and destroy this bridge." Got it!"

When Tatsuna heard this, he looked excited. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Kakashi, "Mr. Tatsuna, have you forgotten that Naruto is still at your house?"

After listening to Kakashi's words, Tatsuna was still a little worried when he thought about Naruto sleeping soundly at home. He also thought about their heroic appearance in the previous battle, and then he was completely relieved.

On the other side, as soon as Naruto woke up, he ran into the ninjas sent by Cardo to capture the hostages. He was startled, and then he subconsciously shot a Rasengan in his hand, and the two ninjas were stunned.

Naruto: "..." What just happened?

He looked at the corpse on the ground and was stunned for nearly a minute. Then he jumped up from the chair and said, "Kakashi-sensei and the others really didn't wake me up!"

After regaining consciousness, Tsunami said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Kakashi said there is no need to wake you up, let you have a good rest."

"Ah? Is that so? Since there is no danger here with Aunt Tsunami, I will go to Kakashi-sensei first." Naruto scratched his head and said.

"Okay." Tsunami nodded.

By the time Naruto arrived, almost everyone on Cardo's side was dead, leaving only Cardo himself.
