Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Finally Here, Let's Go To The Country Of Waves
Under the blue sky, beside the mountains and rivers, and beneath the shade of lush green trees that block out the sun, ridges of sunlight filtered through the foliage, casting spots on the wet ground.
"Sako, we have arrived at point B..."
Sako hid behind a large tree. Through the gaps in the branches, the scarlet Two Tomoe Sharingan glowed as he stared directly at the target in front of him, whispering softly.
This posture, combined with his outfit, certainly made people think a lot. Sako was wearing a blue dress similar to Sakura's.
"Little Sakura, we've reached point C..."
The little cat, resembling Sakura, stood sideways behind the big tree, nervously shouting into the headset.
"Naruto, we've arrived at point A..."
Naruto carelessly came to a bush, opened his eyes wide, and lazily stared at the target.
"Too slow, Naruto...
Team 7, the target has started to move. Hurry up..."
Kakashi's voice came through the headset, issuing the order.
The three quickly moved their bodies, closing in on the target simultaneously.
Of course, Naruto had already closed his eyes in anticipation.
"Very good, let's do it..."
Kakashi, watching secretly, wore a stern expression and ordered in a solemn voice.
Chakra erupted beneath the feet of the three, propelling them swiftly toward the target.
"(≧^.^≦) Meow~~~"
With the sound of heart-wrenching howls, Naruto captured the target in one swift motion.
"I said, aren't we taking this a little too seriously?
It's just a kitten!"
Naruto held the cat in one hand, squinting at little Sakura and Sako with a helpless sigh.
Knowing the cat was mischievous, he released a hint of Nine Tails Chakra from his hand.
The arrogant cat trembled in Naruto's grip, looking like a ghost...
"It has a red ribbon on its right ear. Are you sure this is the target cat?"
Kakashi's voice echoed in the headsets of the three.
"It's confirmed as the mission target."
Sako looked down at the cat in Naruto's hand, confirming it with black lines of exasperation across his forehead.
"Very good. The task of capturing the lost pet is complete.
Let's gather and report back!"
Kakashi concluded, standing at the edge of the woods with satisfaction.
"Ms. Kakashi...
Isn't there a more exciting mission?
We've been stuck doing low-level tasks for days!"
Little Sakura's dissatisfied voice transmitted through the headset to Kakashi's ears, almost making them ring.
*Is Little Sakura stealing my lines?
I mean, it should be the mission in the Land of Waves next.
Bai, let me see if you are a man or a woman...*
Naruto stared thoughtfully at the irritated little Sakura, pondering to himself.
Sako, beside him, was no stranger to this!
Hokage Office
After submitting the mission and encountering the terrifying client, everyone exchanged knowing glances at the runaway cat, Xiaohu, who often brought income to Konoha.
"Let me see...
So, the next mission for Team Kakashi is...
Ah, it's a C-level mission to protect a bridge builder.
Come out..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the document in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and, after an unhurried introduction, turned his head and shouted to the next room.
After the last C-level mission, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved about Kakashi's team.
*Finally...
It's no longer just those boring low-level tasks.
Good job, old man!*
Hiding behind her good-girl image, little Sakura cheered excitedly.
Sako, on the side, appeared calm, but he was actually eager to go.
"What the hell...
Why are they all some incompetent ninjas?
Especially that shortest guy—he looks the dumbest. Can he really be a ninja?"
Dazna, carrying a bottle of wine, reached to adjust his glasses that were slipping off his face, complaining drunkenly.
Among the three, only Naruto was half a head shorter than Sako and Sakura due to long-term malnutrition.
The implication was clear!
"This client...
As the lead Jōnin this time, I must remind you."
Kakashi, usually laid-back, suddenly turned serious. He stared coldly at Dazna with indifferent eyes and warned him.
"The shortest and dumbest guy you mentioned is actually the most powerful ninja among us.
If you offend him, even I may not be able to protect you!"
Kakashi wanted to avoid any misunderstandings...
"Gulp..."
Dazna swallowed nervously, his eyes now playfully gazing at Naruto, his heart racing.
He lied about this mission, thinking that the stronger the ninja guardian, the safer he would be.
Dazna understood this fact.
"Hahaha...
Sorry, I'm a bit drunk!
I'm counting on everyone for my safety..."
Dazna found an excuse to laugh it off, chuckling nervously.
"Ahem...
Kakashi, this task is entrusted to you."
Seeing the situation between the two parties soften, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly and made his request.
"Um..."
Kakashi immediately shifted to his more casual demeanor, nodding with a relaxed face as he gestured for them to leave.
"Now go back, pack your things, and gather at the gate of Konoha in ten minutes.
Mr. Dazna, you can go over now and wait.
Scatter..."
As Kakashi walked out of the Hokage's office, he instructed the others before disappearing instantly.
"Well, then I'm leaving too!"
Naruto waved goodbye to Sakura and activated the Body Flicker Technique to leave quickly.
"That brat...
He really is a scary guy!"
Dazna stared at the spot where Naruto had vanished, cold sweat breaking out on his back as he spoke in horror.
Sako and little Sakura exchanged glances, then quickly followed suit, jumping away with chakra.
