[Naruto] Haruno Sakura Preface

"I, I don't understand what you mean." Danaz took a step back and looked away.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two are ninjas from Kirikage Village. Judging from their clothes, they are still Chunin from the village. Based on this alone, this trip has exceeded the mission level we accepted." Kakashi He walked to the corpse and squatted down, using his hand to lift the burned, shapeless forehead protector on the corpse's forehead and said calmly.

"" Danaz swallowed without making a sound.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Kakashi threw away the forehead protector in his hand and patted the dust on his hand.

"There is an extremely scary guy who wants my life." After some mental struggle, Danaz finally explained to several people in a trembling voice.

"Who is he?" Sakura stepped forward and asked, the mystery in her mind becoming clearer and clearer.

"You should also know the extremely rich tycoon, Kado." Danaz answered Sakura's question with a hint of decadence in his tone.

"Cado is the world's leading rich man, Cardo?" Kakashi clicked his tongue. The target of this mission was far more powerful than he expected.

"Yes." Danaz nodded heavily and continued.

"The Country of Waves is an extremely poor country, but the initiator of all this is the good deeds done by the heinous man Cardo." Danaz said in an angry tone, and clenched the hands hanging on his sides.

The four of them listened quietly to what happened to Danaz without interrupting.

"Just a few years ago, Cardo relied on his financial and material resources to control the entire transportation line of the Country of Waves. For a country, controlling transportation is undoubtedly controlling the wealth of that country. And because of this As a matter of fact, the lives of the people of the Country of Waves have been in dire straits in the past few years." Danaz lowered his eyes and slowly recounted.

"However, as long as the bridge I built can be completed, it will break through Cardo's clutches and make the country of Waves prosperous again." Danaz raised his eyes and looked directly at Kakashi, his eyes pleading.

But Kakashi's eyes were calm, and he was not disturbed by this story.

Seeing that his pleas were in vain, Danaz had no choice but to look at the three people standing aside. His eyes swept over Sasuke with a cold face, Sakura who was stroking her chin and lowering her head in thought, and finally settled on Naruto who was full of sympathy. Danaz also gritted his teeth and continued: "The Country of Waves is an extremely poor country. Even this C-level mission was carried out by spending many years of my own savings. You can't blame me if you don't help me. You guys, you don’t have to worry about me if I die. If I die, only my poor grandson who has just turned ten will cry to death, and my daughter will also have a heart full of resentment towards the Konoha ninjas. After a lifetime of misfortune - but I can’t blame you for this.” After saying that, Danaz turned around and pretended to wipe away tears.

"!" Sakura looked at the shameless operation of the old man in front of her and immediately thought of the memory she was searching for.

"Let's help the old man, they are so miserable." Naruto listened to Danaz's cry and walked to Kakashi's side and said.

"Two chunin appeared just halfway. If we arrive, I'm not sure whether there will be ninjas of the jounin level. We are taking a C-level mission, and the mission requires that no ninjas will appear. And Not only will two chunin appear on this trip, there may even be a jounin. This kind of mission level can already reach A level." Kakashi pondered for a moment and then said.

"But, but do we really not care?" Naruto looked at Danaz who was standing aside. Seeing that there was room for maneuver, Danaz cried louder. Seeing this, Naruto turned his attention to Kakashi.

"What about your decision?" Kakashi sighed when he saw Naruto's pleading eyes, and then turned his attention to the two people standing aside.

"I don't care." Sasuke said coolly as he stood aside, still looking forward to the powerful enemy he was about to fight next.

"Then continue." Sakura broke away from her memory and nodded at Kakashi's pleading gaze.

‘Oh yeah! ’ Danaz secretly rejoiced, but on the surface he was still pretending to wipe away tears behind his back.

"Okay. Let's continue the mission, but I want to make it clear that if we encounter a crisis that we cannot solve during the mission, we will not accompany you."

Kakashi couldn't refuse after seeing several people agreeing, but he still showed his decision.

"Thank you!" After hearing the agreement from several people, Danaz, who was wiping away tears, immediately smiled and thanked them.

"Hey." Seeing Danaz's change of expression, Naruto immediately realized that his sympathy had been taken advantage of.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!" Naruto jumped up and was about to rush towards Danaz angrily, but Sakura on the side grabbed the back of Destiny's neck again.

"Idiot, you were the one who just said you wanted to help him." Sakura said helplessly.

"Because people didn't expect him to be so cunning." Naruto said angrily, his lips flat, feeling unworthy of his pitiful sympathy.

"There is no other way, let's get on our way first." After the discussion, Kakashi reluctantly continued his journey to the Land of Waves.

The five people kept walking and entrusted the old man by the river to take them across the river and finally set foot on the land of the Country of Waves.

Just after taking a few steps, a cold light quickly slashed down on several people.

"Get down quickly!" Kakashi reacted quickly and pushed Danaz next to him to the ground. He also reminded several people to get down quickly.

Sakura, who had been hit by Tsunade's sudden iron fist in recent years, was the first to sense the danger and reflexively fell down, along with Naruto, who was closest to her, and fell to the ground.

Sasuke on the side also quickly leaned down.

"Pong!" Following the muffled sound of trees being chopped open with a sharp weapon, Sakura also raised her head and looked at the person.

At this time, there was a huge chopping knife on the tall tree in front of them, inserted straight into the tree trunk halfway, and a tall man was standing on the handle of the knife covered with white bandages.

Half of the man's face was wrapped in white bandages, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes. What they wore on their heads was the same forehead protector from Shadow Shadow Village as the two ghost brothers who fought before.

But the only difference is that there are three more old scratches on the fog shadow village logo on the forehead protector of the man in front of him.

"Are you a traitorous ninja?" Several people stood up, and Sakura stood in front of Danaz, holding a kunai in her hand to guard against the intruder.

"Your Excellency is a copy ninja - Hatake Kakashi." The man in front of him gave a weird laugh before the others could say anything, and then asked first. His gaze was directed at Hatake Kakashi among the others.

"Then you should also be Momochi Zabuza of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen." Kakashi did not directly answer the other party's question, but also raised a question.

"Since you also know, then I don't want the gains and losses of using swords and guns between us to be outweighed by the losses, and there is no conflict of interest between us." Seeing that Kakashi saw through his identity, Zabuza did not hide it anymore, but He said slowly.

"What do you want?" Kakashi looked coldly at Zabuza who was circling in front of him, unwilling to talk any more nonsense.

"As long as you are willing to hand over that rat, I will let you go. How about that?" Zabuza pointed at Danaz, who was sitting on the ground sweating. Although he sounded conciliatory, his words were completely conceited.

"Then allow me to ask you for your skills." Of course it was impossible for Kakashi to agree, but his body tensed up and the other eye that was covered by the forehead protector was exposed.

After seeing Kakashi's eyes, Sasuke standing aside did not calm down.

"I didn't expect to see the legendary Sharingan. It's such an honor." Zabuza showed no intention of flinching after seeing Kakashi reveal his three magatama. Instead, he said excitedly.

"You guys retreat. Use a swastika formation to protect Mr. Danaz. The opponent this time is not on the same level as the Ghost Brothers. You are not allowed to interfere. This is the time to test teamwork." Kakashi stopped Naruto, who was planning to show off, said in a solemn tone.

"Okay then. Let's end the chat here. Sorry, I have to deal with that old man quickly." After saying that, Zabuza quickly pulled out the zanblade from the tree trunk, and then jumped straight up not far away. On top of the river that has just been crossed.

"Standing on the water actually." Danaz murmured.

At this time, Zabuza was standing on the water, with a huge sword on his back and a seal in his hand, and huge streams of water surrounded him.

"Danaz is left to you!" Kakashi did not hesitate, took out the kunai and rushed towards Zabuza.

At some point, the river was filled with water mist that was thicker than before and was rushing towards them overwhelmingly. Kakashi's figure was soon submerged in the mist.

"Get ready to fight!" Sakura clenched the kunai in her hand, tensed her muscles and started to warn.

The formation of several people also quickly changed into a swastika shape, safely surrounding Danaz.

Unlike Sakura's calmness, the performance of Sasuke and Naruto on the side was not satisfactory. Along with the thick mist, Zabuza's terrifying murderous intention floated over.

This put a great deal of pressure on the two people who were unfamiliar with combat experience.

"Hold the kunai." Sakura felt Naruto tremble beside her and touched his hand soothingly.

Soon, the scratching sound of sharp instruments hitting each other came from the fog, and from time to time there was the muffled sound of two people fighting.

It seemed as if several people had been in the fog for centuries. The sound of fighting and the terrifying murderous intent coming from the fog were all flogging their nerves.

Sakura tried to sense the movement around her through chakra, but to no avail.

After thinking about it for a moment, I quickly discovered that this mist was mixed with water-based chakra that can block perception.

"The silent assassination technique of Kirikage Village is truly worthy of its reputation." Sakura squeezed the kunai in her hand. Her brain was a little tired due to long-term tension, but she still did not dare to neglect it at all.

Suddenly, a sound broke through the air. Sakura was not slow at all, and she went straight to meet it with the kunai in her hand.

"Ding!!" Sakura deliberately used force when waving her kunai. The moment the two came into contact, the opponent she attacked was thrown out with great force. The kunai in Sakura's hand was also declared useless.

"Three o'clock direction, Zabuza's water!" Hearing the sound of Zabuza's water hitting the floor after being thrown, Sakura hurriedly pointed out the direction to the two people beside her.

Sasuke was the first to react and immediately took out multiple kunai from his ninja bag and threw them quickly in the direction.

With a few clanging sounds, all the kunai that were thrust towards Zabuza were knocked to the ground. But in the dense fog where you can't see your fingers, the sound is undoubtedly an excellent indicator of direction.

Sakura used her foot strength to easily dodge Zabuza's slash, then raised her hand in the air, spun around and kicked in the direction.

"Poof" With the wet touch on his hand, Zabuza's water also burst.

"You're quite capable, kid." Before Sakura could take action, the movements of Kakashi and Zabuza in the distance suddenly stopped, and Zabuza's voice rang in Sakura's ears again.

Sakura felt goosebumps exploding in her ears. Faced with the sudden sword attack, Sakura quickly kicked the ground and dodged once again.

"Fire Release---The Great Fireball Technique!" Just as Zabuza was about to continue slashing at Sakura, a calm male voice came from the side.

Then, scorching fire suddenly spurted out and shot straight at him.

"Water Release - Water Wall Technique!" Zabuza showed no fear in the face of the incoming fire, but easily made seals in his hands.

Then huge streams of water instantly surrounded Zabuza, easily blocking the firelight and evaporating large amounts of water vapor.

"Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet!" Facing several people, Zabuza didn't want to delay any longer, but continued to form seals. A water dragon formed quickly behind him and rushed towards the location of several people.

"Earth Release - Earthflow Wall." At the critical moment, Kakashi's voice sounded in time, and an earth wall broke through the earth to block the water dragon bullet. Seeing Kakashi coming, Zabuza clicked his tongue and then disappeared into the mist again.

"Wind Release--Big Breakthrough!!" Just as a few people were in a stalemate, Naruto's voice sounded from the fog. What followed was a huge wind that instantly blew away the thick fog on the field.

Although the thick fog quickly gathered, several people successfully determined Zabuza's position in just a few seconds.

"You should protect Mr. Danaz." After Kakashi spoke, he rushed into the mist again and fought with Zabuza. Sakura was silent for a few seconds, then jumped up the tree according to the direction.

A heart-wrenching crash sounded again in the fog.

When Zabuza saw Kakashi rushing towards him, he swung the sword in his hand towards Kakashi decisively and swiftly.

Kakashi, who had expected it, also staggered and dodged cunningly, and the sword was inserted into the ground inertly due to the huge force.

"Raikiri!" As the strong current in his hand covered him, Kakashi did not hesitate to take advantage of the gap between Zabuza's sword and stab it straight into his abdomen.

Unexpectedly, Zabuza did not draw the sword in a hurry, but instead used the sword to bypass his hand and kicked Kakashi in the abdomen. He kicked Kakashi five meters away.

With a sharp pain in his abdomen, facing the flying chopper, Kakashi swallowed the fishy smell in his mouth and quickly formed seals in his hands.

‘Water substitute! ’ Just when Zabuza thought he was going to chop Kakashi off his horse, unexpectedly, the figure he chopped apart instantly turned into a ball of water and fell.

And with a slight movement on his body, Zabuza was kicked out by Kakashi.

"Go ahead and kill him." Kakashi's hand was covered with Raikiri and he was about to stab Zabuza directly.

"You're too naive." Zabuza, who was kicked to the ground, looked at Kakashi who was holding a Raikiri, with a sneer on his lips.

The next second, Kakashi found that he could not move his limbs.

"Water Release--Water Prison Technique!" Zabuza coughed up blood and stood up. One hand grabbed Kakashi directly.

Kakashi's surroundings instantly turned into a water ball, trapping Kakashi inside and unable to move.

"Is it the water underneath?" Kakashi felt regretful in his heart when he felt the water stains from when he was kicked away.

"Although your apprentice is quite talented, this is the end of the matter." Before Zabuza could finish his words, suddenly, several tree stumps came towards him through the air.

Zabuza couldn't dodge, so he had to stop the water prison technique and dodge.

"Damn it!" Before Zabuza could stabilize himself, Kakashi, who had been freed from the water prison technique, appeared in front of him.

The lightning in his hand quickly struck at him.

At this moment, two Senbons rushed to insert into Zabuza's neck.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change, and Zabuza opened his eyes wide and looked ahead in disbelief.

"Who is your Excellency?" Kakashi withdrew Raikiri and looked at the visitor carefully.

The person who came was slender and slender, with several thin and sharp senbons clamped between his cold white fingers.

"I am the pursuit force of Kirikage Village, hunting down the S-class rebel ninja Momochi Zabuza." The visitor nodded respectfully to him and took back the Senbon in his hand.

Kakashi looked at him distrustfully, and then put his hand on Zabuza's neck. He calmed down after finding that there was no pulse.

"In that case, I will leave first. There are still many secrets about our Kirikage Village on the body of Zabuza Momochi. Please forgive me for not accompanying everyone in Konoha."

The person who came nodded to them, and then disappeared with Zabuza's figure.

"" Sakura looked at the acupuncture points and techniques used by the visitor to insert Qianben, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

"Then let's go, we still have to escort Mr. Danaz home." Kakashi pulled on his forehead protector and waved the others forward.

Suddenly, Kakashi paused on the spot. His limbs fell limply to the ground.

The only thought before fainting was: "The Sharingan has been used for too long."
