Forced to sell misery

-

at that time.

The land of fire, Konoha.

Naruto rolled on the ground and won the mission to escort Mr. Tazuna to the Land of Waves.

After paying the price of their own death to teach Naruto and the others how ninjas fight, the ghost brothers died with hatred in their hearts.

After dealing with the ghost brothers, Kakashi also realized that something was wrong with this mission...

Inexplicably, he remembered someone's strange words that "the first mission will definitely go wrong"... Suddenly he had a bad feeling...

Moreover, with Naruto's personality... he is always making trouble even when there is nothing to do!

Kakashi covered his face tiredly.

Meanwhile, Naruto looked at Sasuke's arrogant face with dissatisfaction and clenched his fist in dissatisfaction.

I will definitely not let this guy steal the spotlight this time!

Sasuke faced the powerful enemy with ease and without fear, and also protected Sakura and... himself.

But he was so frightened that he stood there motionless...

Although he didn't want to admit it, Sasuke was indeed more of a qualified ninja than he acted...

No!

Since he has sworn by the pain in his left hand, Uzumaki Naruto will never back down!

With this thought in mind, Naruto rushed to the front and stood guard in a serious manner.

Kakashi couldn't help but hold back his laughter when seeing this scene, but he just let him go.

"Ah! There—"

Naruto cried out in surprise, and the kunai in his hand fell out of his hand.

Sakura was frightened by Naruto's sudden movement and punched him on the head.

"Don't throw dangerous things like kunai around!"

"and many more!"

Kakashi walked forward, parted the bushes, and saw a rabbit that was trembling in fear even though it was pretending to be dead after being thrown by Naruto.

"Naruto, what have you done?!"

Sakura glanced at it and angrily spoke up for the poor rabbit.

"White Rabbit?"

Naruto ran over and hugged the frightened little white rabbit in his arms, rubbing against it, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Trapped in Naruto's arms, the poor little white rabbit is almost dying... Even if she's not scared to death, she'll be strangled to death, okay? !

Kakashi turned his eyes away reluctantly... In fact, he had already thought of a hundred ways to cook rabbit meat...

"It turned out to be a rabbit..."

The sigh of relief from the mission protector Tazuna brought Kakashi back to his senses.

No, that should be a snow rabbit, right?

Kakashi retracted his overly erratic train of thought and stared at the innocent little white rabbit with snow-white fur, and became serious.

No matter how you look at it...this fur color doesn't seem normal, right?

It's not winter, how could a white rabbit appear in a place like this by coincidence? !

So... this is a snow rabbit that was raised and thrown out specifically to be used as a substitute, right?

At this moment, a pair of sinister eyes looked at them through the bushes.

As expected, according to the inevitable law that “the first mission is bound to go wrong”, they encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the Hidden Mist rebel ninja - Zabuza.

The thick fog obstructed the vision. The only one in the team who could compete with Zabuza was Kakashi, not to mention the dangerous target who could only be protected by humans, Mr. Tazuna.

I don't know why, but Kakashi always has an uneasy feeling...

Why on earth?

However, at the moment when Kakashi was distracted, he was accidentally trapped in a water prison designed by Zabuza.

In Zabuza's opinion, after trapping Kakashi, killing Tazuna would be a matter of just one cut - the remaining three looked like newly graduated Genin, and he had no interest in fighting.

After his rebirth, Sasuke was naturally indifferent to Zabuza's terrifying murderous aura, but Sasuke just chose to wait and see.

For Sakura and Naruto who knew nothing, these were things they had to experience and get used to as ninjas...

However, seeing Zabuza arrogantly stepping on Naruto's forehead protector, Sasuke still felt a subtle displeasure...

Naruto recalled the oath he made in pain that he would never escape easily again, so he cheered up and worked together with Sasuke to help Kakashi break Zabuza's water prison.

Since the students are working so hard, as a teacher, I naturally cannot fall behind.

With the help of the power of the Sharingan, Kakashi used the Great Cascade Technique to take Zabuza away in one wave.

Afterwards, a man who called himself "Mist Ninja" suddenly appeared and pierced Zabuza's neck with a Senbon sword, killing him and took away Zabuza's "corpse" on the pretext of recovering the body.

In fact, Kakashi had vaguely sensed something was wrong at that time - but he still chose to let it go.

Not only for the safety of the three children and the target Mr. Tazuna, but also for Kakashi himself...

The power of the Sharingan... He still couldn't master it well.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

As for Sasuke… he just wanted to watch the show.

-

On the other side, a masked boy who claimed to be from the Kirigakure Ninja Hunting Force took Zabuza's "corpse" to the depths of the forest.

"First, cut this cloth over the mouth so that the blood can be spit out," Shiro muttered to himself as he brought the scissors closer to Zabuza's bandage mask.

Bai was startled when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"No, I'll do it myself."

"Corpse" Zabuza suddenly opened his eyes and spoke. He took off his mask, revealing a mouthful of sharp shark teeth.

"really,"

At this moment, a voice said jokingly, "You guys from Kirigakure all have sharp shark teeth!"

"Who?!"

Bai stood up alertly and stood in front of Zabuza in a fighting posture.

"Don't compare me to that guy."

Another more hoarse voice said dissatisfiedly, the bushes were parted, and a tall figure carrying a big knife walked out.

"They're just shark teeth anyway!"

Muttering something in dissatisfaction, the young man, who was wearing the same black robe with red clouds and fire clouds as the tall man, sat on a tree branch and pinched the soft long ears of the little white rabbit in his arms.

Bai clenched the Senbon in his hand tightly while staring warily at the two people who suddenly appeared and were obviously up to no good.

——The thousand swords that pierced Mr. Zabuza's neck were filled with a poison that could put a person into a state of suspended animation. If an ordinary person was infected, their entire body would be numb and they would be unable to move for about a week... and although Mr. Zabuza had an extraordinary physique, he would still be unable to fight for a short period of time.

"A rebellious ninja from Kirigakure?"

Bai was a little surprised when his eyes swept across the forehead guard that Kisame was wearing, which had an obvious scratch on it.

There's also a traitor ninja from Konoha...Should he ask Obito for a Konoha forehead protector to wear?

Sitting on the branch, Jing Ye stroked the fur of the well-behaved little white rabbit in his arms from time to time, his mind wandering to all sorts of random things.

"Stand off, Shiro."

The bloody Senbon was casually pulled out and thrown on the ground, and Zabuza slowly sat up.

"Please don't be too rough when you pull it out, or you will really die."

Glancing at Zabuza, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face, Jing Ye said with a smile.

"..."

Shiro gave Zabuza a worried look.

"you……"

Selectively ignoring these words and Bai's worried look, Zabuza stared at Jing Ye, his cold eyes hiding murderous intent, "Who are you?"

"Passers-by?"

Jing Ye spoke uncertainly and actually found himself laughing.
