I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Naruto looked at the three people in the group with a sense of dejection.

One of them is Kakashi, who was trained by Chiaki and calls Chiaki "older sister".

One is Sasuke, who is homeless and is being cared for by Chiaki.

One is Sakura, Chiaki's disciple, who completely protects Chiaki.

Even that outsider is a die-hard fan of Qianqiu, this is impossible to do.

In any case, no one can say a bad word about Qianqiu, otherwise the people around them will start a fight.

Please.

She's Naruto's godmother! I'm not even this excited, why are you all so excited...?

Kakashi and his friends showed no pity for Naruto.

This guy messed things up and was late, so he has to take the blame.

Fortunately, for the sake of training, everyone still had to carry their own backpacks; otherwise, Naruto's mistake alone would have made him carry everyone's backpacks.

The group talked about the various deeds of their godmother, which Naruto was already familiar with, as they walked along the official road.

The Land of Waves is a small country located south of the Land of Fire, almost entirely situated on the ocean. It doesn't have many special products; at most, it serves as a port in the south.

However, the largest maritime trading guild in the ninja world is located in the Land of Waves, profiting from selling Konoha's goods to the Land of Water.

Well.

While it remains to be seen whether the title of "largest in the ninja world" is truly valid, at least for now, the maritime trade association within the Land of Waves is indeed performing quite well.

Since the Land of Waves is situated at sea, traveling to and from Konoha is quite difficult. The Land of Waves' maritime trade association also serves as a conduit for cruise ships, charging fees to the already impoverished commoners of the Land of Waves for their travels.

Tazuna's purpose in this trip was actually to hire Konoha ninjas to protect him so that he could return to the Land of Waves safely.

His goal and ideal were simple: to build a bridge connecting the Land of Waves to the Ninja World, thus saving money on travel to and from Konoha and improving the lives of the people of the Land of Waves.

However, Tazuna's ideals are good and he is thinking about the people, but for those in power, isn't this cutting off people's livelihood like killing their parents?

Anyway, that's what the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, Cardo, thought: since you want to cut off my source of income, then I have no choice but to kill you.

This money may be ill-gotten, but it smells good to have!

Kakashi, walking along the road, yawned and glanced at a very obvious puddle on the official road.

He looked up at the clear blue sky, then looked back at the three oblivious little ones, smiled casually, and walked on.

Sasuke and Sakura were discussing an academic problem, while Naruto followed behind, rubbing his cheek, lost in thought.

Tazna remained silent the whole way, mainly because he was just an ordinary person and was obviously tired from walking such a long distance.

As Kakashi passed by the puddle, it suddenly burst open, and two ninjas wearing breathing apparatus appeared in front of him, raising their scythes high, their eyes revealing bloodthirsty killing intent.

"what?!"

The instant he transformed into a ninja in the puddle, Naruto immediately acted on his beast-like instincts, abruptly raising his head to look over.

Sasuke and Sakura followed closely behind, their eyes fixed on the two ninjas.

"First!"

The two assassins, A and B, whose names had been forgotten, excitedly swung their scythes at Kakashi, whose face was calm and even had a dead fish-like expression.

They were thrilled after the scythe struck the entity.

This feeling is like the feeling of killing someone!

"Ah, I'm dead."

Kakashi covered his neck in disbelief and, with terrible acting skills, leaned towards the two assassins.

Then, he was kicked and sent flying into the bushes, disappearing without a trace.

"Kill...kill someone!"

Tazuna snapped out of his daze and shouted in terror to Naruto and the others, "Konoha ninja! Your captain is dead!"

"I know, I know."

Naruto waved his hand speechlessly, while Sasuke and Sakura took out kunai from their pockets and looked at the two assassins.

They sensed a murderous aura emanating from the two assassins that they had never felt before.

Under the suppression of the murderous aura, Sasuke and Sakura felt a chill run down their spines.

Even though their strength was comparable to, or even greater than, that of the two assassins, they were suppressed in place by their killing intent.

"Hey, your captain's dead!"

Tazner looked nervously at the three of them, but they seemed completely unconcerned.

Naruto even crossed his arms, looking disgusted.

"Sasuke, Sakura, I've already told you Kakashi is a weakling. Look at his performance now."

"Shut up, you idiot."

Sasuke spoke coldly, tightening his grip on the kunai in his hand, forcibly suppressing the trembling in his heart.

"Naruto, this is a test for us. Let's deal with those two first."

Sakura said solemnly, "This may be the first time we've killed someone."

"kill?"

Naruto was stunned. Before he could even process what this meant, the two assassins had already charged at him, brandishing their scythes.

He has always been a flower in a greenhouse, and usually just plays around with Otohime. He has never actually killed anyone.

This time, the direct, real-life battle was indeed something Naruto found difficult to handle.

Sensing that Naruto was not in a good state, Sakura had no choice but to take action first.

She picked up a kunai and called out to Sasuke beside her, "Sasuke, let's go first!"

To everyone's surprise, Sasuke's reaction was also a beat slow. He only realized what was happening after Sakura had already rushed forward.

Ding dong!

Sakura's kunai was knocked away by an assassin, and she was startled when another assassin kicked her.

"Sakura-chan!"

Seeing Sakura being kicked away by the assassin, Naruto finally came to his senses and angrily rushed forward.

"Sasuke! Don't just stand there!"

Naruto darted past Sasuke, who was still in a daze, and pounced on one of the assassins.

Sasuke gripped the kunai tightly, feeling extremely frustrated.

How could he be intimidated by two nameless assassins?

Naruto beat him to it?

Damn!

Chapter 578 I Need More Money

I won't go into the specific details of the fight scenes.

Anyway, they were just two assassins whose names I've forgotten, whose strength wasn't even that of a Chunin. They were a piece of cake in front of Naruto and Sasuke, who were fired up.

In addition, their strength far exceeded that of the original work, and with the assistance of Sakura, who had been trained by Chiaki and possessed comprehensive support abilities, the two assassins easily fell to Naruto and Sasuke's kunai.

To be precise, he fell to Sasuke's kunai alone. Naruto still felt a little sorry for him, but he also knew that being a ninja was a profession that didn't allow him to be soft-hearted.

clap clap.

Kakashi clapped and yawned as he emerged from the bushes, lazily saying, "Not bad, just a little slow."

"I told you you're bad, Kakashi."

Naruto, hands on his hips, berated Kakashi, "Your acting is terrible! Please pay more attention next time!"

"Snack? What snack?"

Kakashi picked at his ear. For ninjas, achieving any goal by any means necessary is their core principle. Being kicked by two weaklings is nothing to them.

When it comes to acting, as long as the meaning is conveyed, that's enough.

"Hmph, what about these two corpses?"

Sasuke's face was somewhat pale, but he managed to suppress the discomfort he felt after killing someone, thanks to his Uchiha pride, and asked Kakashi a question.

"Oh, I'll leave it to Sakura."

Kakashi nonchalantly gestured with his chin at Sakura, "Chiaki-neechan must have taught her some techniques."

"Our master said to use this method as little as possible; let's just bury people if they should."

Sakura rolled her eyes at Kakashi. Chiaki had indeed taught her some techniques, using medical ninjutsu to make someone disappear from the world completely, but this was disrespectful to the dead, so Chiaki didn't implement it in practice.

"Let's dig a hole. Even though we're assassins, we should respect the dead."

Naruto said with some reluctance, when Tazuna, who was standing aside staring blankly at Kakashi, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"what!"

"You're not dead!"

"?"

Kakashi glanced at him, then turned to Sasuke and Naruto and said, "Digging a hole is too much trouble. How about cremation? That would be fine too."

"You know Fire Release, Sasuke, right? Give me a fireball."

"You can do it too?! Why am I doing it?!"

Sasuke was about to explode. What was the Uchiha clan's Fire Release used for?

You are insulting the Uchiha clan!

"Hurry up, we're on our way."

Kakashi shoved Sasuke, who resentfully walked over to the two assassins to deal with the bodies. Tazuna, finally snapping out of his daze, asked, "Were you faking it?"
