Did you notice?

Kakashi's lips curled slightly.

It seems I was overthinking it.

Kakashi shook his head and smiled, but didn't think much of it.

Regardless of the circumstances, at this moment, Naruto was indeed a child in Kakashi's eyes.

[Although this child is frighteningly powerful.]

Naruto frowned slightly.

[I sensed two waves of malice approaching as soon as I left the village.]

[Is the target Tazuna?]

[“Ninjas are involved...this is no longer a C-rank mission.”]

Then, Naruto looked at Kakashi.

Their eyes met.

[Kakashi noticed it too, but he didn't end the mission. It wasn't that simple after all.]

【"The Land of Waves...a poor country."】

["The Country of Waves..."]

After a moment's thought, I found the relevant information.

【'Kado?'】

[“He runs a shipping company...one of the world's richest men, and in reality, he uses the mafia and wandering ninjas to smuggle drugs and contraband...He controls all maritime traffic in the Land of Waves.”]

[“Don’t interfere in other countries’ internal affairs…” (A joke.)]

"The ninjas rely on the daimyo's funding... Heh, looks like everyone's not that simple after all."

[“Otherwise, a guy who isn’t a ninja and doesn’t even have the connections of Gato couldn’t have lived that long… Could it be that the major ninja villages are laundering money and controlling their subordinates…”]

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly; his intuition told him that Naruto had already sensed something was wrong.

"Controlling the lifeline of maritime traffic... means that Cado has already controlled the country's wealth, politics, and people..."

[So, the old man is planning to double-cross us?]

"Heh heh, I'm really not going to let you have your way."

【Perfect.】

【Controlling maritime transport?】

"Then the probability of finding the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools is very high."

【Thank you for the wonderful gift, old man.】

"Taking over Gato's company, the money... the shipping... this will inevitably attract attention. If other ninja villages find out that Konoha didn't take it, they'll definitely want a share... so we still need to pin the blame on Konoha."

【call--】

Take a deep breath.

Naruto already had a rough plan in mind.

Tobirama Senju: "The ninja world is not simply black and white."

Nara Shikaku: "Very good, you've grown a lot."

Orochimaru: "Naruto with the black-rimmed glasses really sees far."

Yamanaka Ino: "Let the old monkey take the blame, pfft~"

Azabui: "Kado Company?"

Mabu-i: "As far as I know, quite a few villages have indeed had contact with him."

Azabu-i: "Indeed, as Naruto with black frames said, they are the white gloves for money laundering in various ninja villages."

Mei Terumi: "I think our Hidden Mist Village is probably the most severely affected."

Mei Terumi: "Money can move people's hearts, and coupled with the inaction of the higher-ups in the Blood Mist Village, it has indeed given Gato many opportunities."

Mei Terumi: "It's not like everyone doesn't have the thought of fattening them up before slaughtering them."

Kurotsuchi: "Hmph! Everything depends on the powerful and wealthy. The status of ninjas seems a bit low. It still has to be Naruto with black frames. I'm looking forward to seeing how he will change this ninja world."

Naruto seemed to be deep in thought.

The self within the black-framed world seems to be preparing to pull off something big.

This reminds me of my trip to the Land of Waves.

Naruto remained silent for a long time, then shook his head. Naruto Bridge?

Uncle Tazna values ​​himself quite a bit.

It's just a name. You might not see anything about it now, but what about the future?

Naruto was quite confident about this.

[Whoosh—]

Just then.

The two sources of malice moved, accelerating and surpassing Class 7's pace, before stopping ahead.

Naruto glanced at Sakura and Sasuke without saying a word.

Neither of them has noticed yet.

【Let them see blood.】

Having made up his mind, Naruto ignored the two men.

I believe Sasuke and Sakura can handle this.

If they can't even handle these two, Naruto will send them back.

This escort mission to the Land of Waves has truly presented me with a springboard; I must seize it.

Kakashi slowed his pace slightly, but noticing Naruto's change, he resumed his previous pace.

【soon.】

A puddle appeared on the road under sunny skies.

[It's very abrupt.]

But it seems somewhat reasonable.

Kakashi walked in front, avoiding the puddle.

[Sasuke and Sakura noticed the puddle almost the instant it appeared.]

Something's not right.

Sakura narrowed her eyes slightly, glancing at Naruto, who seemed lost in thought, as if pondering something.

She moved closer silently, then put on her gloves.

Sasuke still had his hands in his pockets.

Seeing Sakura move closer to Naruto, he moved closer to Tazuna.

【"snort!"】

【A superficial disguise.】

[He kept an eye on Naruto out of the corner of his eye.]

【Didn't you notice?】

[No, very likely... Naruto already noticed, but his reaction... suggests he's planning to watch our performance.]

Sasuke's lips curled slightly, and a confident glint shone in his eyes.

[The rain has stopped and the sky has cleared!]

No unusual activity was observed.

[After Team 7 escorted Tazuna across the puddle.]

A figure slowly emerged from the puddle.

A figure slowly emerged from the nearby tree.

The two exchanged a glance.

[Konoha Ninja...]

[Attack!]

The demon brothers worked in perfect unison, striking simultaneously.

【Click click click—】

The iron chains clanged with a piercing sound.

The two have worked together for many years and have long since developed a tacit understanding.

The initial target wasn't Tazuna, but rather the three Konoha genin protecting him.

The other person, while his brother was dealing with the three Konoha genin, eliminated the target first before coming to help his brother.

[One in front, one behind, with a clear division of labor.]

[If an ordinary genin squad were to face them, they probably wouldn't stand a chance.]

Unfortunately, they were unlucky and ran into the strongest genin team in Konoha's history.

[The Demon Brothers make their move.]

However, Sasuke and Sakura were prepared.

[The target is a distracted, blond-haired young man.]

[One person's target is Tazna.]

Sasuke sneered.

Sakura clenched her fist and channeled her chakra.

[As the opponent lunged at her, Sakura whirled around.]

Seeing this, the ghost brothers didn't seem to care.

[Pull the iron chain in your hand, and you'll obtain a sickle.]

Those skinny arms and legs, no need to worry about them, just cut them in two with one stroke.

Having lay in ambush for so long, the Ghost Brothers naturally chose to trade blows, killing the two men in the first instance.

Unfortunately, he will have to pay the price for his choices.

The moment that small fist, which he had looked down upon, was pressed against his chest, he knew he was wrong.

[Eyes widened, pupils contracted rapidly.]

【boom--! ! ! 】

The demon brothers' bodies froze in mid-air before flying backward at an incredible speed.

His face was filled with disbelief.

[Instinctively, he looked at his brother.]

The pupil contracted again.

Sasuke has already trampled his brother underfoot.

[He was looking at me with a face full of disdain.]

【Bang--】

[His body slammed into a tree trunk.]

[Like a doll... its limbs were twisted to an eerie degree.]

【Pawn! 】
