Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Naruto frowned slightly.

I felt relieved in an instant.

What business is it of a major power what happens to the lives and deaths of ninjas and civilians in other countries?

Often, they are too busy taking care of themselves.

Besides, it's the daimyo who should be troubled by these matters.

But even a great name cannot achieve anything...

He shook his head, deciding not to think about such useless things.

Inside the arena.

The dignitaries who came to watch the final round of the Joint Chunin Exams all looked grim.

However, if Naruto with black frames really wanted to get rid of them, they really wouldn't have any way to do anything about it.

Moreover, Naruto with black-rimmed glasses also said so.

Ninjas are capable of being self-reliant.

There's absolutely no need to work yourself to the bone, constantly struggling to survive, just to earn that meager reward.

As a result, a group of fat, arrogant, and pleasure-seeking nobles were able to outdo them.

This is the world of ninjas.

Most of the time, strength speaks for itself.

The daimyo, along with a group of powerful figures, allocates funds to the ninja village every year...

Why bother?

You'd think ninjas were slaves of the powerful and wealthy.

If these powerful and wealthy individuals could contribute more...

Even Naruto with black frames wouldn't directly kill these people.

Of course, many ninjas were instilled with certain ideas from a young age.

Most of the time, they also feel that it is only natural for them to enjoy privileges.

What Naruto with the black-rimmed glasses will do next is to reshape the ninja world, which naturally means giving them a good slap in the face.

If you're not clear-headed, you'll be eliminated along with everyone else.

Many people have noticed this, but they haven't said it.

"Alright, Inari, go play."

Tazna rubbed his grandson's head helplessly.

He gave the three of them an apologetic smile.

[Tazuna isn't stupid when it comes to certain things.]

Thinking about it carefully, it all makes sense now.

[I'm afraid my existence was already exposed the moment I entered the village.]

[It was all just the kind-looking Hokage who stirred things up.]

Foreign ninjas have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of this country.

But if we're here to carry out a mission...

Tazuna shook his head and smiled. He was just a famous bridge-building master in the Land of Waves; he just needed to focus on building bridges.

These ninja masters are unlike any he has ever seen before.

No, it should be said that Naruto is unlike any other ninja he has ever met.

This made Class 7 special as a result.

Even Tazuna, if he's slow on the uptake, could tell who the leader of Team 7 was.

After lunch, Tazner hurriedly went to inform everyone that work would begin tomorrow.

[Tazuna still held considerable influence; after some persuasion, everyone agreed to begin work.]

I also believe Tazuna's words; there will be no danger.

The bridge construction continued on the second day.

Despite his reluctance, Sasuke diligently followed Naruto's instructions to complete the mission.

[During this time, the rogue ninjas under Gato's command indeed caused trouble.]

Sasuke, who had been holding back all morning, didn't waste any words.

[They're near the sea again, and they've even got Naruto's approval.]

[They showed no mercy.]

Most of these wandering ninjas were extremely vicious and ruthless.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Kado.

[After killing them, just throw them down to feed the fish.]

Sasuke's mindset is also gradually changing.

[There was a lot of bleeding.]

[He gradually came to understand Naruto's intentions.]

[He glanced at Sakura, whose face was deathly pale.]

Sasuke didn't waste any words, turned around to clean up the bloodstains, and continued working diligently.

Sakura's hand, gripping the hilt of the Executioner's Blade, was still trembling.

[He committed murder shortly after leaving the village.]

But killing so many people at once, even though they were all despicable criminals, still made it difficult for her to adjust.

Fortunately, despite her poor condition, she didn't hesitate or hold back at all when she struck.

For her, this was a special ninja baptism Naruto gave to her and Sasuke.

The next few days were much calmer.

Sakura and Sasuke live a very simple life, going back and forth between two points.

I've adapted to a lot too.

These past few days, Naruto has been busy researching with the giant fox.

Naruto, of course, continued to learn and master sealing techniques.

The giant fox stubbornly continued tinkering with its ninja techniques.

[Splash—]

Naruto raises his hand.

A large fish bursts out of the water.

Then it landed precisely in the bucket.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Inari's eyes lit up.

"They're almost full. The task of bringing them back is up to you. Can you do it?" Naruto's gentle voice came through.

Inari's face flushed red, and she nodded quickly, "Yes!"

[As he spoke, he quickly helped Naruto remove the fishhook, then dragged the fish basket, which contained several large fish, home.]

[After Inari left.]

[Whoosh—]

A sound of something cutting through the air was heard.

Haku appeared beside Naruto, kneeling on one knee.

Then she slowly removed the mask she was wearing.

Naruto paused for a moment.

[Makeup?]

[They've completely let go.]

[This girl's looks are just as good as any of the pretty girls Naruto has ever seen.]

"Naruto-sama."

"As you instructed, we have thoroughly investigated all of Kado's assets."

"Among the wandering ninjas, there are quite a few promising talents whose character meets the standards; we've already recruited most of them."

Upon hearing this, Naruto turned around and cast his fishing hook.

Then he nodded slightly. "Well done."

As for those wandering ninjas who didn't fit the description, they've probably already been eaten by the fish in the sea.

"Lord Naruto, Gato died last night."

"We also released some wandering ninjas."

"Many of them witnessed Gato being killed by Konoha's Anbu ninjas...and Root organization ninjas."

[As he spoke, Haku raised his head, looked at Naruto's handsome profile, and said:]

"They are few in number, and all of them are cowards."

"Under Zabuza-san's control, and with our spies following them... everything is ready."

"Alright, except for some special assets, we can slow down the recovery of the rest," Naruto nodded.

"Openly, they have someone impersonate Kado."

"Assets in other major countries are also being gradually dumped."

"Keeping it a secret for as long as possible."

"Of course, it's appropriate to release information about the Konoha Root organization."

"Draw everyone's attention over there."

Haku nodded respectfully and said, "Lord Naruto, there's one more thing."

【"explain."】

"The first exploration team is ready and can depart tonight."

"Okay." Naruto nodded, then caught another big fish.

Naruto's lips curled slightly.

Inside the sealed space, the giant fox curled its lip.

[I never expected that after just mentioning it briefly, Naruto would think about it for only one night and then immediately put it into practice successfully.]

Underwater perception capabilities have increased exponentially.

Even if Haku hides underwater again right now, Naruto can find him instantly.

If the distance isn't far, it can even be sensed faster than on land.

"The things that need to be done still need to be done, even if they are tedious and somewhat basic... but they are useful in the short term."

"The bridge construction is still too slow."

"Release the news that Kado is facing some difficulties, or that he has reformed."

"By reducing the concerns of bridge builders, the construction speed will increase significantly."

"Go ahead."

"Yes, Naruto-sama."
