In the alley, Ino cornered Naruto.
Dense golden hair covered half of his cheeks, and his blue eyes stared at Naruto, saying "Hey!"
"Does Sasuke like girls?"
"What?" Naruto tilted his head and looked at Ino doubtfully, without any consciousness of being pressed.
"Hundan! You said this yourself!" Ino went a little crazy and grabbed Naruto's clothes, "Don't pretend to be dead! Naruto!"
"Then you have to ask Sasuke face to face." Naruto suddenly smiled, quite snake-skinned.
"Ahhh! Damn it!" Ino was going crazy, holding her head and shaking her head from side to side, "Does he like girls?"
"I have a way to verify it." Naruto said in a timely manner.
"What can I do?" Ino raised his head suddenly.
"Konoha ninjas have the opportunity to take a collective hot spring vacation once a year." Naruto said with a smile, "When the time comes, you can go directly to the men's bath while Sasuke is alone..."
"Go to hell!"
Ino didn't get an answer, so she took a long breath and gave up.
The Yamanaka Flower Shop was not far away, so Naruto sent it there and then returned to the apartment. In comparison, his relationship with the Pig, Deer, and Die trio is actually pretty good.
The next day, the two-day holiday ended.
Kakashi summoned Team 7 and told the three that the mission review had been passed, and he also gave them their first C-level mission.
"A bridge-building expert who protects the Land of Waves?" Sakura asked.
"Yes." Kakashi was not in a hurry, with his eyes drooping and his hands in his pockets, "Cheer up, this is your first C-level mission in your life."
"Although C-level missions generally do not encounter enemies, outside the village, anything can happen."
"Bandits, wandering ninjas, pirates, and ninjas from other ninja villages. All factors may trigger a battle and escalate the mission."
"I know, Kakashi-sensei, you are so long-winded." Naruto was not as depressed as he was on the rainy day yesterday and couldn't help complaining.
When he went out in the morning, he threw a bag of garbage on the faces of the gloomy-eyed people downstairs, so he was in a particularly happy mood.
Those villagers were just keyboard warriors. Seeing Naruto take out the ninja forehead protector, they immediately shrank back and did not dare to speak.
Kakashi didn't say anything, and directly hit Naruto with his hand.
"Class 7! Meet at the entrance of the village in half an hour and disperse!"
After saying that, Kakashi turned into a white smoke with a bang and disappeared instantly.
"I'm really looking forward to this mission!" Sakura said with a hint of longing, "I wonder what kind of person that bridge-building expert is."
"Anyway, it's just to protect the target." Sasuke said, "It doesn't matter who they are. Kakashi has said that there will be no fighting in C-level missions."
"It's boring, just finish it early, it's a waste of time."
Naruto glanced at Sasuke and saw that he had a blue wristband on his left wrist.
"Naruto, who do you think that bridge-building expert is?" Sakura turned to look at Naruto, who was yawning at the moment.
"I don't know. Since he is an expert, he must be an old man with a bad temper." Naruto scratched his face and said disapprovingly.
Half an hour later, at the gate of Konoha Village.
"Hey! Are you kidding? I paid for it! I sent three brats to protect me. What's going on with you Konoha?"
An unshaven old man carrying a wine bottle shouted at Kakashi.
"Is this the attitude of Konoha? How can you protect me? I'm an expert in building bridges!"
Sakura's face was covered with black lines as she stared at the tall, sloppy old man. She glanced back at Naruto, meaning that you really guessed it right.
Kakashi was explaining with a smile, but the old man didn't believe it and said excitedly.
"I am Tatsuna, a bridge-building expert from the Land of Waves!"
Naruto on the side became a little impatient and shouted towards the man.
"Shut up, old guy, there's nothing worth showing off about building a bridge!"
"You kid!" Dazuna looked a little excited, but was quickly persuaded by Kakashi, and finally agreed to set off.
Half a day later.
The group of people arrived at the junction of the Fire Country forest, and after walking for a while they would reach the ferry. Kakashi's eyes sharpened, and he glanced left and right.
Sasuke also noticed Kakashi's reaction and frowned slightly. Although his face still showed a calm expression, he was secretly alert.
Naruto had long known that someone was following him, and the tracking tactics used by the Kirigakure ninjas were really clumsy. He wasn't worried and kept humming and walking forward.
As they walked, even Sakura in the team felt a little nervous, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy listening to Naruto's unexplained humming.
Just when she was about to speak, something unexpected happened.
Two ninjas suddenly jumped out from the bushes on the side, holding two spiked chains in their hands, and cut directly at Kakashi in front.
At that moment, the sweltering wind stopped, and Naruto could feel the sweat clinging to his skin freezing for an instant.
This mysterious feeling is fleeting, and the black and white picture is instantly injected with color and becomes vivid. There was a ding, and the mechanical synthesized sound in his head sounded again.
At this time, the still picture suddenly moved. Kakashi was cut and attacked by a sneak attack, and the ground was immediately covered with blood.
Naruto knew this was Kakashi's Substitution Technique and ignored Sakura's screams. I saw the two ninjas thinking they had solved Kakashi, and they went straight towards Naruto who seemed to be defenseless.
"Naruto, get out of the way!" Sakura shouted in horror.
But Naruto remained unmoved, as if he was frozen in place. Sasuke, who was not far away, made a cut sound, gritted his teeth and threw three shurikens.
Three shurikens temporarily knocked back the two ninjas, and then Naruto finally moved. However, he did not retreat, but moved towards those two people.
"Naruto! Danger!"
Sasuke was also stunned. After he came to his senses, he didn't hesitate at all, grabbed the kunai and ran over there.
"Sakura, protect Mr. Tatsuna."
Sakura only heard the words left by Sasuke, and then she saw Naruto and Sasuke running towards the two ninjas.
Her heart was beating very fast, and she felt a little panicked and a little inferior at the same time. It was obviously their first mission, and the two of them didn't seem to be as afraid of confronting ninjas as they were.
Just when she was lost in thought, Naruto's voice also came from the front.
"Damn it! You are teasing me!"
"Option! Come out!"
Bang bang bang, the two Kirigakure ninjas fell to the ground with black noses and swollen eyes. Naruto was still muttering strange words while beating them.
Sasuke stopped halfway, also looking horrified. Kakashi, who was supposed to be dead, was standing aside intact, looking at Naruto and shaking his head.
