Naruto of Naruto

The next morning, Team [-] gathered in front of the gate of Konoha, and together with Tatsuna, who loved drinking, set out on the road to the Land of Waves.

"Yo Xi, let's go!"

Naruto opened his arms full of energy at the door, making a "praising the sun" gesture.

"Why are you so excited?"

Sakura stood next to him and complained weakly.

"Military food pills, ninja tools, a change of clothes... have you brought all of these?"

"Uh……."

Naruto looked stunned, then scratched his head.

"I was so excited last night that I forgot about it. Hehe."

"You're still giggling!" Sakura couldn't bear it anymore and hit Naruto on the head with her fist.

"Didn't I use the talking flower to warn you last night? It's true, just like a child before a spring outing."

Sakura took out a scroll from the backpack behind her and handed it to Naruto.

"Here, this is the backup I left for myself. It has food and tools."

"Sakura-chan (Sakura)......"

"Hurry and take it!" Sakura put the scroll directly into the backpack on Naruto's back.

"What do you have in your backpack? Comic books? "The Principles of Chakra Operation of Ninjutsu"?..."

The other three people silently watched the interaction between Naruto and Sakura, and looked at each other to confirm the same thoughts in each other's hearts.

The two of them look like mother and son...

"Remember to take a shower every day, and then use fire escape to dry your clothes..."

Sakura, who was rambling on, suddenly felt something was wrong with the atmosphere around her. Then she seemed to be aware of other people's gazes, stood up instantly, and coughed twice.

During the six years in the ninja school, Sakura often found opportunities to feed Naruto.

Either give him a bento that he doesn't want to eat today, or ask Naruto to help him with his homework and then give him money.

Before she knew it, she had become accustomed to taking care of Naruto.

Sakura didn't know if she was faithfully following her mother's order to "have a good relationship with the Jinchuuriki", or if she was feeling sympathy for Naruto, or if she was feeling emotions that she was unaware of.

After everyone agreed on the route, they began to rush towards the destination on the first day.

Naruto possesses the Kyuubi's malicious perception and is at the forefront as a sentient ninja.

Tazuna walked in the middle, while Kakashi and Sakura Sasuke walked at the back.

It takes a week to travel from Konoha to the Land of Waves.

Nothing happened on the first day, and Team [-] performed its escort mission responsibly.

It is worth mentioning that as the logistical support of the entire team, Sakura not only carries cooking tools and ingredients, but can also use [Wood Release: Lianzhu Family Jutsu] to provide a place for everyone at night. Under these conditions Very luxurious residence.

However, starting from the next morning, Naruto had a strange feeling.

He always felt depressed.

Although after asking the Nine Lamas in his mind, he was convinced that there were no malicious enemies nearby, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

In the afternoon, everyone was very tired after a long journey, and Naruto felt slightly tired.

And Uncle Dazna, who loved to drink, became drowsy and began to walk erratically.

"Stop!"

"There is a situation!"

Sakura and Kakashi warned at the same time.

Kakashi immediately ordered: "Switch to defensive formation!"

Except for Kakashi, the remaining three people immediately surrounded Dazuna back to back.

Kakashi judged that everyone's state was wrong through experience. It should be that the enemy used some kind of ninjutsu.

"Sakura, what's the reason for your warning?" he asked Sakura.

"We are poisoned!" Sakura concentrated chakra in her palms very seriously. A seed sprouted and bloomed in her hands, and the white flowers swayed in Sakura's hands.

After a while, a trace of the white petals spread from the edge, eventually turning the entire flower into purple.

"Purple is a neurotoxin! Starting from the outer edge of the petals, it means there is colorless poisonous gas in the nearby air!"

Sakura immediately took out a seed from her pocket and used Wooden Chakra to generate a white foamy thing.

"Put these into your nose. They should filter out the toxins in the air. Come to me every half hour to replace them."

Seeing that they all wore toxin-filtering plugs, Sakura let out a sigh of relief.

"Sakura-chan, don't you need to bring this?" Naruto asked her curiously.

"No, Mudun's chakra will help me automatically decompose the toxins that enter my body. It's just that I was cultivating the seeds of poisonous plants recently, and I happened to have a plant that detects toxins with me, so I became aware of it."

"We don't know yet what the enemy's attack method is. Be more careful."

Kakashi turned his questioning gaze to Naruto.

"There is no hostility detected within 50 meters. This is the limit of my perception."

Naruto opened his eyes and told Kakashi the news.

"It's still unclear whether this is a natural phenomenon or a secret enemy attack..."

Kakashi's eyes met Tazuna's and he saw the dodge in his eyes.

"Let's go some distance further first. Maybe we'll be out of the range of the toxin."

Sasuke offered in a rare move.

"Okay, if we walk another 5000 meters and are still not out of the poison range, we will treat it as an enemy attack. This has exceeded the standard for a C-level mission. We will immediately abandon the mission and return to the village."

Naruto took off the weight, sealed it in the scroll, and then took the initiative to carry Tazuna on his back.

Ten minutes later, Naruto put Uncle Tazuna down, and he immediately started vomiting while leaning on the tree trunk.

For an ordinary person like him, being carried by a ninja and jumping between branches is indeed not a friendly experience.

"Kakashi-sensei, there is still toxin." Sakura reported immediately after completing the test.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

"Then there's a high probability that it's the enemy's toxin attack. If that's the case, the enemy has either poisoned us within a 5000-meter radius, or they've positioned the toxin at our location in some way."

"It should be the latter. While I was on the road, I saw that the animals around me did not appear to be poisoned. If poisoning occurs on a large scale, animals will also be affected."

Sasuke shared his analysis.

Kakashi turned his attention to Tatsuna.

"Hey, you've hidden the true content of the mission, right?"

Dazuna was startled, then showed a gloomy expression.

“You are entrusted with protecting you from thieves and armed gangs like the mafia.

In this situation, it is obvious that the enemy ninja launched an unknown ninjutsu attack.

This is already considered a B-level or above mission.

Our job is to protect you until the bridge is built, if the enemy is a ninja.

It will definitely be classified as a high-priced B-level mission. I know you have something to hide, but if you don't tell the truth, we will be very troubled.

It is now beyond the scope of our mission. "

"Are we going back?"

Naruto raised his hand and asked.

"This is our first mission. If we go back to the village because the mission is too difficult, maybe the Hokage will not let us go out until we become chuunin."

Naruto's words instantly shook Sasuke and Sakura's desire to return home.

"Let's deal with the enemy in front of us first."

Kakashi turned his attention to Tatsuna.

"Now, please tell us the information about the enemy, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed."

At this time, 100 meters ahead, two guys covered in black cloaks and wearing pointed helmets used both hands to maintain the 200-meter-diameter [Super Water Prison Technique]. They saw the [Water Mirror] in front of them. scene in.

"Tch, I didn't expect that there are ninjas in their team who are specialized in dealing with toxins. This is going to be very difficult."

Ghost Brother B said.

"It doesn't matter. Zabuza-sama just asked us to slow down their advance and get as much information about them as possible."

Ghost Brother A responded calmly.
