Chapter 417 Lei Guang

The Land of Fire is not far from the Land of Waves. With the footsteps of a ninja, running at full speed, it only takes half a day to reach the port of the Land of Waves.

But if there is an extra Dazna who is just an ordinary person in the team, it is definitely impossible to use the ninja method to go to the country of Waves, and can only advance slowly step by step.

This process may take several days.

From the time the sun came out to the time the sun went down, Kakashi and the others were on their way.

Only when it gets dark, will there be a rest.

"It's so boring, why are there no enemies coming to attack along the way. Is this really a C-level mission?"

Starting from Konoha Village, Naruto finally started to complain when he was walking on the road in the forest until it was almost noon the next day.

Along the way, it can be said that the road was calm, not only the enemies, but even the beasts that could pose a threat to ordinary people have not seen a few.

"Fool."

Kakashi punched Naruto on the head without hesitation.

Naruto let out a cry of pain, hugged his head, started to jump on the spot, and stared at Kakashi with dissatisfied eyes.

Kakashi didn't realize it, but said in a light tone: "Didn't I say it earlier? Don't have too much expectation for C-level missions. And even if enemies appear, they exclude enemies other than ninjas. Just hurry on your way."

"But in this way, isn't it simply camping outside?"

Naruto asked back.

"This is a common thing in C-level missions. Even if someone wants to be unfavorable to Mr. Dazner, after finding out that we are ninjas, they will back down with self-knowledge."

Kakashi explained.

After that, he looked up at the sky. The sun's rays were partly blocked by the shade of the trees in the forest, but there was still strong light shining down, which made the environment in the forest clearer and less eerie.

"Okay, it's almost noon, let's solve the problem of eating on the spot, Mr. Dazner also needs to take a rest."

Kakashi glanced at Dazna who was already panting, the other party's physical strength was about to be exhausted.

"Grandpa, are you so weak?"

Naruto looked at Dazna with proud eyes.

After hearing Kakashi say that he could rest, Dazna sat down on the ground, and then said to Naruto: "I'm so rude, kid, I'm not your ninja, and my endurance is like a monster. I think my physical strength is relatively strong among ordinary people. You ninjas are too unreasonable in this regard."

Dazner's words are not wrong. Compared with a ninja, his physical fitness is indeed much worse. But among ordinary people, his physical fitness is at an excellent level.

Even in his old age, his strong muscles still make him look strong.

"Okay, Naruto, don't quarrel with the elders. You and Sakura are here to protect Mr. Dazna, and Sasuke and I will go around and find some firewood."

Kakashi stopped Naruto from playing around and ordered him and Sakura to stand by here to protect Dazna.

Neither Sasuke nor Sakura had any objections, and acted according to Kakashi's order.

In the open forest, the smell of wild beasts could occasionally be felt, but Kakashi and Sasuke didn't care about the wild beasts in the forest, and began to look for firewood for cooking.

"Hey, I said Kakashi."

While picking up firewood, Sasuke raised his head to look at Kakashi's back, and suddenly spoke.

"Ah, what's the matter, Sasuke?"

Kakashi slightly turned his head to look at Sasuke.

"That Dazna, who the **** is it?"

Sasuke asked.

"What's the meaning?"

Kakashi's face remained unchanged.

"I don't believe that you, as a jnin, didn't realize that there is something wrong with this Dazna. He said that he is an expert in bridge building, and he is about to build a secrossing bridge between the land of waves and the land of fire, which belongs to the two countries. This project should be very huge and important. This is not an ordinary bridge-building expert, and he is competent for the job."

In other words, there must be officials from the two countries participating in this project.

Moreover, the task level cannot be a C-level task.

When it comes to the national level, even if it is only a small country, it should be an level mission.

"Our task is to eliminate the ruffians and samurai who may come to make trouble. This is personally explained by Hokage-sama. As for that Dazna, his identity is indeed different from that of ordinary bridge builders. He is a member of the Land of Waves Agricultural and Industrial Corps, and he is here on behalf of the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire."

Kakashi revealed a little bit of information to prevent Sasuke from thinking wildly here.

"Agricultural and Industrial Corps?"

"An organization that has prospered in the Land of Waves in recent years. However, this has little to do with our tasks. When we arrive in the Land of Waves, we can complete our own tasks. As for the bridge building, that is something the daimyo should consider."

In other words, they just guarded the smooth progress of the bridge building project, and eliminated the enemies other than ninjas who came to make trouble.

Even if there is an unexpected situation, there is still him as a ninja, so there will be no major problems.

This is what Kakashi Qian wanted to tell Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded slightly. He thought that Dazna deliberately hid some information and did not reveal all of it, but now it seems that it is not the case.

Konoha is very aware of Dazna's plan, so they let the seventh team join this mission.

An ordinary enemy, he, Naruto and Sakura can easily deal with it.

If you encounter an invincible existence, Kakashi, the Minister of Anbu, will personally cover it.

Thinking of this, Sasuke finally let go of some worries.

He still trusts Kakashi's strength very much.

Even if there are jonin-level enemies coming to attack at that time, their seventh squad is also competent.

"Okay, the firewood is almost collected, now it's time to..."

Before Kakashi finished speaking, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he looked into the distance.

Naruto and Sakura are in that direction.

From that direction, there came the distinctive battle sound after weapons clashed.

Sasuke didn't even think about it, immediately put down the firewood in his hand, and quickly returned to the stronghold.

When he returned to the stronghold, he saw seven or eight people surrounding Naruto and Sakura and starting to attack.

Each of these people was wearing straw sandals and exotic travel clothes, holding a knife in his hand, exuding a fierce aura from his body.

Samurai!

Although this is the first time I have seen real samurai, the image of these people fits very well with the image of the samurai drawn in the textbook.

Different from ninjas who can use ninjutsu, samurai are also humans who can use chakra, but the chakra they use is used to strengthen physical fitness and sword skills.

As early as the end of the Warring States Period, the samurai had completely declined, and their glory no longer existed.

Therefore, the samurai can also be called a relic of the old days.

That being said, Sasuke didn't dare to be careless when facing the samurai.

These warriors all carry a fierce aura. Unlike the warriors who can only perform knife skills, these warriors are wandering warriors. They have not only seen blood, but also experienced real combat. They are not ostentatious warriors in behavior.

For Genin, he is a worthy opponent.

"Sasuke! Hurry up and help, these guys want to harm Grandpa Dazna!"

Naruto, who picked up Kunai to parry the blade slashed by the samurai, discovered the existence of Sasuke, and immediately showed surprise on his face.

Because these samurai attacked too suddenly, Naruto didn't use the shadow clone technique at the first time, and was cornered by the samurai with the sword technique.

Sakura also picked up Kunai to fight with the two samurai, protecting Dazna.

Although she is not very good at martial arts, thanks to the fact that the ninja's combat ability far exceeds that of the samurai, she has a slight upper hand in a one-on-two situation.

But if this continues, Naruto will definitely be the first to fail.

Judging that the situation was not good for his side, Sasuke did not hesitate, and quickly entered the battle situation, his hands quickly sealed.

"Art fire escape **** fireball!"

The flying fireball made the warriors who were fighting Naruto flustered and dodged to the side.

Naruto also got the opportunity to release ninjutsu and began to mobilize the chakra in his body.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, more than a dozen Naruto rushed out of the smoke, picked up the kunai for combat, and surrounded five or six samurai groups in the middle with the advantage of numbers.

"Now let you see how powerful Uzumaki Naruto is!"

After finishing speaking, Naruto's shadow avatar rushed forward, aggressively.

Kunai and the samurai sword kept colliding, making the sound of metal clashing continuously, and sparks splashed everywhere.

Seeing that Naruto, who had used the shadow clone technique, had suppressed the wandering samurai in turn, Sasuke nodded slightly, and then looked towards Sakura.

"Thunder EscapeEarth Walk!"

The ground was instantly covered with a net of lightning, and the two wandering samurai who were fighting with Sakura suddenly screamed, and the samurai sword fell from their hands, and then fell to the ground weakly, their bodies twitched and lost their fighting ability.

Seeing this scene, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Sasuke a look of gratitude and admiration.

"Are you all right?"

Unlike Naruto, Sakura's combat ability is very weak.

Although the foundation of taijutsu is more solid than that of Naruto, when it comes to fighting, Sasuke believes that in the pure taijutsu competition, Naruto must win in the end.

Not to mention that Naruto also mastered the technique of shadow clone that can hit more and hit less.

Even if he falls into Naruto's crowd tactics, it is difficult to subdue Naruto.

"It doesn't matter, and Mr. Dazner is fine."

Sakura shook her head, and then glanced at Dazna who was protected by herself. The other party was only slightly startled and did not suffer any damage.

Sasuke nodded slightly, turned his head and swept towards the battlefield on Naruto's side.

The samurai has been completely defeated.

All the samurai were beaten black and blue by Naruto's shadow clone, **** with ropes, and ended up miserable.

"You came too late, Kakashi, the battle is over."

Sasuke looked at the direction he came from just now, Kakashi was late.

"Oh, I can't say that. For you, a group of warriors with little combat ability can just be used as training objects. After all, they are free trainers. It's not good to waste them."

Kakashi walked over without any guilt, and said to Sasuke.

"Really? But this level is far from being called training, and it's not even qualified for me to do warm-up exercises."

Sasuke put his hands in his trouser pockets, and with his dark pupils, he glanced at the samurai who were still twitching on the ground. The numbness caused by the lightning had not disappeared from them.

"Doesn't this prove that you are excellent? Ordinary ninjas can't deal with this group of desperadoes."

Kakashi said.

At this time, Naruto also ran over and smiled at Kakashi:

"How about it, Kakashi-sensei, I am very powerful, I will defeat these guys at once!"

Kakashi looked down at him, and said: "Starting today, strengthen the basic training of Taijutsu. If it weren't for Sasuke, you would have no chance to use the shadow clone technique."

Naruto is a ninja with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Anyone who has fought Naruto will quickly notice the weakness of the opponent's foundation.

On the contrary, Naruto is quite terrifying in terms of sustaining power.

Especially the huge chakra in the body, like a light bulb lit up in the dark, it's hard not to be noticed.

In the battle just now, if Sasuke hadn't used the fire escape technique to force the samurai back and let Naruto have a chance to breathe, the outcome would have been unpredictable in Kakashi's view.

"What, I've tried my best."

Naruto muttered slightly dissatisfied with Kakashi's behavior of belittling him instead of praising him.

"Mr. Kakashi, what should we do with these samurai who attacked us?"

Sakura asked at this time.

"Of course it's all resolved. Could it be that you want them to carry out a second attack? I don't care, but they will be better prepared next time... You may not be able to stop it."

Kakashi glanced at Sakura, and said casually.

As soon as these words came out, Naruto and Sakura suddenly trembled, and there seemed to be a trace of unbearable expression in their eyes. From Kakashi's words, the two of them felt the real murderous aura, and they were not joking.

Seemingly feeling that his goal had been achieved, Kakashi took out Kunai, and walked towards the samurai who had lost their fighting ability with cold eyes.

Sasuke watched all this silently, only feeling a little uncomfortable, then he let out a breath, looked at the sky, his eyes became more determined.

The atmosphere on the road suddenly became dull for some reason.

Perhaps because of seeing the cruel side of the ninja world, Naruto and Sakura can no longer talk carefree like before.

Especially Naruto, his depressed mood is obvious.

"Okay, don't worry about this kind of thing, Naruto, Sakura."

Kakashi came over and touched the heads of Naruto and Sakura, comforting them.

"Ms. Kakashi..."

"The warriors who attacked us were wandering warriors. Unlike the warriors belonging to the formal system of the country, they made a living by looting houses and houses. Each of them was carrying a lot of murder cases. Even if they were handed over to official agencies, their fate would be the same."

Kakashi explained.

"is that so?"

Naruto looked up at Kakashi.

"Ah, you are now real ninjas. There is no other way to do this kind of thing except adapt. However, I believe that you two will not give up lightly here."

Kakashi has confidence in these two.

"I understand, Mr. Kakashi."

Sakura took a deep breath and solemnly responded to Kakashi.

"That's good. Let's find a town to rest tonight. By the way, I will treat you to a big meal to change your mood."

When you feel depressed, eating can effectively reduce stress.

Kakashi intends to use food to reduce the discomfort in the hearts of Naruto and Sakura.

Sure enough, upon hearing Kakashi's words, the expression on Naruto's face suddenly seemed to come alive, full of vitality.

"Mr. Kakashi."

"What?"

"I love you to death!"

Kakashi smiled wryly at Naruto's nonsense.

This kid really doesn't seem to need any consolation.

Also, think of Naruto's mother's nervous personality, and Naruto who also inherited this characteristic, it is estimated that he only needs to calm down for a while before he can transform himself.

However, since he decided to treat them to a big meal, Kakashi would naturally not miss the appointment.

"You really love these brats, Mr. Kakashi."

Dazna approached Kakashi, reeking of alcohol, and the two were at the rear of the team. Looking at the three Narutos in front, they slowly started to move forward. They didn't speed up their pace to the land of Nami because of the previous attack.

"After all, this is not the era of frequent wars in the past. It is understandable for young people to be a little bit delicate. However, I can guarantee that these children are very good."

Kakashi replied with a smile.

"Then I will wait and see. After all, after arriving in the Kingdom of Waves, the road may not be so easy to walk. Presumably you also know that the current situation in the Kingdom of Waves, war may come soon."

Dazner was drinking, and his drunken appearance was implying.

"Mr. Dazner, we are only responsible for C-level tasks. As for the rest, that is the work of the Lei Guang Group."

Kakashi said from the standpoint of Konoha ninja.

Dazner nodded knowingly.

It is really not that easy to get words out of Kakashi.

In front, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura walked side by side, but his mind was always on Kakashi and Dazna.

Lei Guang Group? Kakashi's voice was very weakly transmitted to his ears through the air, and Sasuke's mind became active.

Although he doesn't know who the Lightning Lightning Corps is, Kakashi seems to be hiding something for this C-level mission and hasn't revealed it to him.

interesting! The corners of Sasuke's mouth curled up slightly.

Compared to being told the answer directly, he felt that it would be more interesting to solve the puzzle himself.

I am looking forward to the next trip to the Kingdom of Waves, even if it is a C-level mission, I will not let myself feel bored.

On the coast extending from the country of waves to the country of fire, there is a large construction site for the cross-sea bridge.

You can see a large number of workers busy there, and the rumble of machinery can be heard from there from time to time.

On the railing on the coast, a small girl with a cute baby face was sitting there, staring blankly at the boundless sea.

She ignored the movement on the construction site. When the workers saw the girl in a daze around the construction site, they did not dissuade her from leaving. Instead, they respected the girl's existence.

While the girl was in a daze, footsteps came from behind.

"Is it Fengxin?"

The girl came back to her senses, but without turning her head, she accurately called out the identity of the person behind her who was close to her.

"It's me, what are you doing here?"

A young man named Feng Xin, with aqublue hair, stood behind the girl and asked her why she was sitting on the railing.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just occasionally want to be quiet and look at the sea."

The girl rubbed her drowsy eyes, and answered Feng Xin in this way, but the expression on her face was still dull, not energetic.

"After the daze is over, it's time to do something serious. The prey has been caught from abroad, and this time it has gone through a lot of circles."

Feng Xin said.

"Well, let's go and have a look. The work will be finished sooner, and I can go back to rest earlier."

The girl jumped down from the railing near the sea. She was not tall, but now she looked even petite and cute.

Feng Xin didn't respond, but just took the lead in front, leading the girl to a bed and breakfast base along the coast.

In this homestay, there are still five people.

Four of them stood aside, waiting for the girl and Fengxin to arrive.

As for the fifth person, his whole body was tied with ropes, and a purple waning moon was embroidered on his clothes.

He swept towards the girl and Feng Xin who had just walked into the room with a look of panic.

"You... who are you? Why did you arrest me? Did I offend you somewhere?"

The captured man asked in panic.

"Don't worry, we are the ninjas of the Lightning Lightning Regiment. We invite you here this time to ask you some questions. As long as you are honest, we will not harm your life."

One of the four people standing aside answered.

"Lei Guang Group!?"

The expression of the captured man suddenly changed, and he looked at everyone in shock.

"That's right, we are the famous Lei Guang Group, and I am the leader Qian Nao!"

The girl put her hands on her hips and introduced herself to the man with a proud face.

The captured man looked intently at the girl, as if to make sure of something.

"I have indeed heard that the leader of the Lei Guang Regiment is a short man less than 1.5 meters tall..."

Before he finished his sentence, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped violently, and a terrifying aura erupted from the girl's body, which was bitingly cold, interrupting his next words.

The man muttered and swallowed, and looked at the girl Chino in horror, as if he had accidentally stepped on her pain point.

"What did you just say, that I am less than 1.5 meters tall? I heard it clearly."

Chino's lavender pupils were instantly dyed black, with a 'one' shape in the middle, and the whites of her eyes turned blood red.

The timbre also became eerie and strange, with dark eyes fixed on the man's face.

"No, no... I was just talking nonsense!"

The man quickly denied it, with cold sweat running down his face.

If he nodded and admitted, he was sure that his head would move directly in the next moment.

Lei Guangtuan is one of the best bounty hunter teams in the underground black market. To be able to lead such a powerful team, even a seemingly harmless girl is definitely not a kind person.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Lei Guang Group to make such a famous name in the underground black market.

Even if the opponent is less than 1.5 meters tall.

"Okay, stop teasing him, Qian Nao." Feng Xin pressed Qian Nao who was about to get mad, walked up to the man, and asked, "We came here to ask you a question. You are a member of the Ziyue people. I want to ask you clearly whether you Ziyue people have received a reward task and are plotting something in the country of waves?"

"Reward mission? Land of Waves?"

The man looked at Feng Xin in astonishment.

Feng Xin and the others did not respond, but silently watched the other party's reaction.

The man quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know why you have such a misunderstanding. The fact that the Leiguang Group took over the Kingdom of Waves is well known in the underground black market. We, who have been reduced to third-rate mercenaries, can no longer accept any reward missions about the Kingdom of Waves."

Chino took the other party's words and said: "However, recently we discovered that the ninjas and samurai belonging to the Purple Moon Group have begun to operate in the country of Waves."

"It's probably someone pretending to be. You don't know, in fact, we Ziyue people have recently started to wash our hands in a golden basin, and we are going to find a place to spend the rest of our lives in peace and stability. We don't want to live the life of licking blood on the edge of a knife again."

Bounty hunters sound very beautiful, but only those who have done this line of work can understand that bounty hunters are more dangerous professions than ordinary ninjas.

When to die and when to live, you cannot freely decide.

In addition to being suppressed by the military of the Ghost Kingdom a few years ago, the Ziyue people were even more devastated. All the core members were killed, and only three or two big cats and kittens were left.

Qian Nao and Feng Xin exchanged glances with each other.

"If you don't believe me, I can't help it. I'm telling the truth. There are not only your Lightning Squad here, but also people from the Kingdom of Ghosts. It's too late for us Ziyue people to hide, and it's impossible to do reward tasks here. As for the Ziyue people who are active in the country of Waves... Speaking of which, a month ago, someone paid a lot of money to invite us Ziyue people to come to the country of Waves to do something. It seems that they want us to come here to steal the manufacturing blueprints of some factories."

The man seems to have remembered something.

"Who is the client?"

Chino asked.

The man smiled helplessly and said: "I don't know, because we rejected the commission, the client didn't talk to us further. However, if you want to know the identity of the client, there should be some clues on the trading platform of the underground black market. As for what the platform said, I don't know. With the reputation of your Leiguang group, it should not be difficult to dig some useful information from the platform."

"We will consider what you say. In short, before the matter is resolved, please live here for a while. After confirming that you are not from Ziyue, we will let you go."

Chino looked directly into the man's eyes and said.

"That's the only way to go."

The man sighed on his face, and he also knew that the members of the Lei Guang Group would not let him go until the truth came to light.

"Leave two people to watch him, and the rest continue to search. Remember, even if there is a mouse on the other side of the bridge, don't put it in."

Chino's doll's face was covered with frost, and she spoke word by word.

(PS: It's New Year's Eve, and it ended up being spent in code words... Afterwards, red envelopes will be distributed in the group. Those who want to grab red envelopes can join the group.)
