Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

Sasuke said unhappily, "Wasn't this already decided? Let's not waste time."

When was this decision made?

Why don't I know?

Damn it, I'm a member of Class 7 too...

Once again, Sakura felt isolated.

.........

——The Country of Waves——

A certain military post.

"Did the Demon Brothers fail...?"

Zabuza's face darkened as he hadn't received any news for a long time. Although the Demon Brothers were useless, they were one of the few remaining forces he had after defecting from Kirigakure.

"It failed?!"

The short Kado complained, "I thought he was some kind of powerful ninja, but he failed. If I had known, I shouldn't have saved that little bit of money and just hired a ninja from a major ninja village..."

The ninjas from the Great Ninja Village have a good reputation and a high mission completion rate, so their prices are naturally high.

The smaller ninja villages are next, and the worst are rogue ninjas like Zabuza who have only been in the game for a few years. Their credibility is questionable, and who knows if they will kill their employers on the side.

The risk is high, but the price is low.

There are also opportunities to raise prices, which can be achieved by continuously taking on tasks and building a good reputation.

A prime example is Kakuzu, a nearly century-old figure whose appearance fee exceeds that of a Jonin from a major ninja village.

"Shut up!"

With the executioner's blade held against Kado's neck, Zabuza coldly said, "You said the target was just an ordinary person, but now your false intelligence has killed two of my men... Tell me, how do you want to die?"

I don't want to die!

You get what you pay for; good things aren't cheap. At this moment, Kado deeply regretted his greedy behavior.

"I...I have money, I can pay more."

"...How much more?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kado gestured a number. Zabuza's face darkened. "You value money over your life, huh?"

Kado quickly said, "Add more, add more..."

After receiving a substantial reward, Zabuza finally put down his executioner's blade.

"Don't worry, I'll help you complete the mission."

Under Gato's resentful gaze, Zabuza stepped out of the camp, and Haku, wearing a mask, appeared before him.

"Bai, have you found out who killed the Demon Brothers?"

Haku removed his mask, revealing a beautiful face. "It's Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja of Konoha..."

.........

In the hazy mist, the ship docked, and the seventh crew arrived in the Land of Waves. According to Dazna, they still had a long way to go to reach his home.

As I walked among the trees, a murderous intent suddenly arose.

"Be careful!"

Kakashi shouted urgently.

The next second, a giant sword spun wildly in the air, emitting a howling sound, and hurtled towards the group at high speed.

"Otama Rasengan!"

Naruto, who was prepared, leaped up and slammed a Rasengan the size of a basketball down on the blade of the Executioner's Blade.

boom!

With a loud crash, the decapitation sword broke in two and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Zabuza, who had intended to make a cool entrance, froze. That ninjutsu... he felt he couldn't block it.

So should we give up on the mission?

Zabuza hesitated.

"You coward, aren't you coming out?"

"Have we been discovered...?"

There's no point in hiding it then.

As Zabuza slowly emerged from the trees, Kakashi said in a deep voice, "So it's you... Zabuza Momochi, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure. Did Gato invite you here?"

However, Zabuza ignored Kakashi and turned his gaze to Naruto, saying solemnly, "Kid, who are you? You can't be nobody if you can break my Executioner's Blade."

Naruto said calmly, "Narrator Uzumaki, ever heard of him?"

"The Uzumaki clan?"

Zabuza frowned.

The Uzumaki clan shouldn't be this strong... Wait, the Uzumaki clan of Konoha...

"You're the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!"

Naruto was shocked. "Holy crap, how did you know? Konoha's secrecy is terrible."

"Hehe... Seeing your reaction, I guessed right, no wonder..."

Zabuza felt much better. Jinchuriki are all monsters, so it's not incomprehensible that they could forcibly break the Executioner's Blade.

"Kakashi-sensei, what is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Still shaken, Sakura asked Kakashi, and Sasuke looked over curiously as well.

"Well... it involves village secrets, so I can't disclose it."

Kakashi refused to answer, but seeing that the two were unwilling to give up, he added, "Don't get distracted. The important thing now is to deal with the enemy."

……

Naruto unbuckled his weights, rushed to Zabuza, and began to fight him.

"Don't use ninjutsu, fight with taijutsu. If you win, I'll spare your life."

Naruto kindly reminded him, then threw a punch that collided with Zabuza's, causing him to involuntarily take two steps back.

"Kid, you're too arrogant."

Zabuza felt insulted; veins bulged on his forehead, and a strong killing intent emanated from his body.

You haven't seen me at my most arrogant.

Naruto remained unaffected and continued fighting Zabuza.

Sakura, who was standing nearby, was caught in the crossfire and was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Sasuke's body trembled under the influence of the killing intent, and his three-tomoe Sharingan activated subconsciously. He quickly recovered.

He watched Naruto and Zabuza fight, gritted his teeth, and was about to rush in when...

Kakashi placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder: "Naruto's strength... I think you know it better than I do. He doesn't need your help. If you want to fight, I suggest you find that one."

Following Kakashi's gaze, Sasuke spotted a ninja hiding in the woods.

"You guys actually found out..."

Bai, wearing a mask, jumped down from the tree, her voice sounding somewhat surprised.

"You're too worried about Zabuza, and you've given away our whereabouts," Kakashi explained.

"So that's why..."

Haku suddenly realized what was happening and looked at the battle between Zabuza and Naruto with worried eyes.

It seems that Lord Zabuza is at a disadvantage...

"Your enemy is me!"

Sasuke opened his mouth and unleashed a powerful fireball, interrupting Haku's worries.

"I don't want to be your enemy."

Once the mission is completed, you can leave with Lord Zabuza.

Bai Wuyi fought, then used the Mist Instantaneous Body Technique to disappear from the spot, rushing towards Dazna and forming hand seals to launch countless water-formed senbon.

ding ding ding...

All the books missed their mark and hit the ground.

Completely caught off guard, Tazna was taken several meters away by Kakashi.

Kakashi said calmly to Haku, "With me here, you have no chance to kill Mr. Tatsuna. You should focus on fighting my student."

Sasuke caught up with him, wielding a kunai. Haku had no choice but to concentrate on fighting Sasuke.

After watching for a while and seeing that there was no problem, Kakashi looked at Sakura, who was slumped on the ground, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

Logically speaking, Sakura's reaction is what a normal rookie genin should do. However, in the abnormal Team 7, normal people are out of place.

We need to give Sakura something to do to keep her from overthinking.
