Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 354: Journey to the Land of Waves

Just when Sakura thought she would be sent back to the ninja school to retake classes, the knocked-down Naruto and Sasuke suddenly appeared behind Kakashi and snatched the bell from Kakashi's belt.

Kakashi, whose bell was snatched away, smiled helplessly and said to Naruto and Sasuke:

"You are the best among the Chunin since you can let me use your strength as a jonin. You have successfully passed this test."

"However, it is not a good thing for you to have such strength too early."

This sentence is what Kakashi really thinks. He has always been conflicted about the improvement of Naruto and Sasuke's strength.

Naruto and Sasuke have very special identities. They need to improve their strength quickly to deal with the crisis brought by their identities, but the improvement of their strength will further expose them to danger and lead to misfortune.

Once they encounter those super-standard ninjas, even they cannot completely protect them.

Sakura, who was playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, was a little confused. She didn't understand what happened. Why were Sasuke and Naruto, who were only slightly stronger than herself, so much stronger than herself now.

And just now, Kakashi said that Naruto and Sasuke have the strength of Chunin? Is it so exaggerated?

At this time, Kakashi also noticed Sakura who was in a daze, and walked over and said:

"Sakura, although your performance just now is not as good as Sasuke and Naruto, you have passed the test. As for why Sasuke and Naruto are so strong, I believe you can see that they have been my students for a long time."

Hearing this, Sakura patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that she was not working hard enough and not good enough, so she was left far behind by Sasuke and Naruto. As long as she accepted Kakashi's special training in the future, she could become as strong as them.

...

After the assessment, Kakashi prepared to report to the mission center and receive the mission commission.

On the way to the mission center, Sasuke kept staring at Kakashi. He just saw Kakashi's Sharingan, and many doubts emerged in his mind.

Why did Kakashi have Sharingan? Weren't all his clansmen slaughtered by Uchiha Itachi?

But on second thought, Kakashi was most likely the mysterious person who gave him the ninjutsu scroll. If he didn't have Sharingan, he couldn't tell him how to use Sharingan.

But Sasuke still wanted to know the origin of Kakashi's Sharingan.

Kakashi also noticed Sasuke's concerns, and then found an excuse to pull Sasuke out alone, and said straight to the point:

"Sasuke, are you wondering why I have the Sharingan?"

Sasuke nodded, and then said: "The Sharingan is the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, but you are obviously not from my clan. I want to ask you about the origin of this Sharingan."

When saying this, Sasuke's tone was full of doubt.

Kakashi sighed, and then said: "I am not Uchiha. This Sharingan was given to me by a dead friend. It is also the last gift he gave me."

"Why would he give you the Sharingan?" Sasuke didn't believe Kakashi's words.

Kakashi patted Sasuke on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to know these. You only need to know that your father, the chief of the Fugaku clan, also acquiesced to my possession of the Sharingan."

Sasuke was eager to know everything, and asked Kakashi, "Do you know my father? How much do you know about the night of genocide? How much do you know about Uchiha Itachi?"

"Uchiha Itachi was once my subordinate, and he is also someone I can't see through."

After a pause, Kakashi continued, "I know you are very anxious, but you are still far from defeating Uchiha Itachi? Uchiha Itachi was already a senior ninja at your age."

"I don't know why he let you go, but it is definitely not a wise choice for you to go to him. Unless you have strength beyond me, otherwise you are just going to die."

After speaking, Kakashi returned to the figures of Naruto and Sakura and walked towards the location of the mission center.

Sasuke also returned to the team, and Naruto immediately came over and said: "Sasuke, what did you talk about with Kakashi teacher just now? Is it about your brother?"

Sasuke nodded, and then said:

"Kakashi said that my strength is too weak, and I am not worthy of looking for Uchiha Itachi, unless I have the strength to surpass him..."

Hearing this, Naruto's expression was also a little depressed:

"My intelligence is similar. Kakashi and the third generation grandfather are unwilling to tell me my life experience. I don't even know who my enemy is."

Seeing Sasuke and Naruto whispering to each other, Sakura felt a little out of place for the first time.

Soon, several people came to the Konoha Mission Center. After entering the hall, Kakashi showed his identity as the leader of the team and took several people to receive several low-level tasks.

The content of these low-level tasks is very simple, nothing more than finding lost pets and physical work.

During the period, you will not encounter any ninjas from hostile forces. The main role is to help the ninjas familiarize themselves with the task process and provide those ten thousand years of ninjas with a reward to support their families.

After all, there is no such thing as salary in the ninja world. If you want money, you must accept missions.

The first mission accepted by Team 7 was to find the lost cat of the daimyo's wife, and the second mission was to help farmers clear the weeds in the field.

At the beginning, Naruto and the other two were full of energy, but after performing low-level missions for half a month, the three felt that low-level missions were too boring.

With their strength, how can they improve their strength by performing such low-level missions all day?

After the mission, Naruto and Sasuke couldn't help complaining to Kakashi: "Kakashi-sensei, should we perform a higher-level mission?"

Kakashi glanced at Naruto and Sasuke and passed the blame to the Third Hokage:

"I will also take you on high-level missions, but as genin, you can only carry out D-level missions at most, and the missions are all assigned by the Third Hokage."

"If you want to carry out high-level missions, you should either go and talk to the Third Generation in person, or you should become a chuunin first."

Hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke frowned, and even Sakura frowned. They could feel that Kakashi was perfunctory.

In fact, Kakashi was indeed perfunctory with Naruto and others.

With his authority, it was no problem to lead a group of genin on A-level missions, but he didn't want these people to be exposed to danger prematurely, nor did he want them to leave the village prematurely.

Of course, the Third Hokage would never let Naruto and Sasuke leave the village.

Naruto's identity is the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. Once a problem occurs outside the village, who will bear the responsibility?

A few hours later, Kakashi still led Team 7 to the Hokage Building.

After arriving at the Hokage Building, Naruto and Sasuke walked directly into the Hokage's office and expressed their thoughts to the Third Hokage.

They don’t want to continue wasting time on low-level tasks and want to perform high-level tasks.

In front of most ninjas, the Third Hokage always showed an amiable appearance. He first said that Naruto and Sasuke were not strong enough, and wanted to use this excuse to reject Team 7.

Hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke hurriedly said: "Sandaime Grandpa (adult), Kakashi-sensei said that we already have chuunin strength. We are no longer children and have the strength to stand on our own."

The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, do Naruto and Sasuke really have the strength of a chunin? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

For the Third Hokage, it was very simple for him to know information about Naruto and Sasuke.

He had long known that Naruto and Sasuke were stronger than the average genin, but he was dissatisfied that Kakashi did not report this to him and helped the two hide their strength.

Kakashi's face changed slightly, and then he said: "They have reached the chuunin level in terms of combat effectiveness, but their theory and experience have not kept up. I plan to let them stay at the genin stage longer to accumulate experience."

After hearing this, the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction, then searched through the mission manual, took out the file and said:

"Since you have chunin, there really is a mission suitable for you to perform recently."

"What mission?" Sasuke and Naruto were very excited.

The Third Hokage said calmly: "It is a C-level escort mission. Dazuna, a bridge expert from the Kingdom of Waves, wants to return to the Kingdom of Waves to build a bridge, so he deliberately issued an escort mission?"

Hearing that the mission level was C-level, the members of Team 7 were a little disappointed and not satisfied with the mission.

Although C-level missions can leave the village, they will not encounter too dangerous enemies during the escort. At most, they will encounter some wild beasts on the road, which will not achieve the effect of experience at all.

But if they don't accept this task, they can only continue to accept low-level tasks in the village.

In desperation, several people could only say to the Third Hokage: "Grandpa Third, we have accepted this escort mission, but can we accept a more challenging mission next time?"

"Then it depends on your performance..."

The Third Hokage smiled and immediately took Team 7 to meet the client this time.

The client's name was Dazna, a skinny old man who looked more like a farmer than a bridge engineer.

When he saw that the ninjas escorting him were just a few young boys, he couldn't help but frown:

"Lord Hokage, I have invested a lot of money this time. You will send a few young boys to escort me. After you confirm that you are really in danger, won't I protect them?"

Tatsuna's words instantly angered Sasuke and Sakura, who looked at the former with a cold face.

Naruto raised his head and looked at Dazuna and said: "Mr. Client, if you feel that we are not strong enough, you can give up the commission. The ninjas of Konoha Ninja Village do not allow outsiders to question."

After hearing this, Dazuna was stunned, and then turned to the Third Hokage with a red face and said:

"Hokage-sama, is this the service attitude of the ninjas of your village? I just said a few words casually and asked me to give up the publishing commission. Is there anyone who chases away customers like this?"

"Naruto!"

The Third Hokage first stopped Naruto from speaking, and then explained to Tazuna:

"Mr. Tatsuna, even though Naruto and the others are young, they are very strong. Their captain Kakashi is a famous jounin. Don't worry about this escort mission."

After being comforted, Dazna was relieved a lot, and reluctantly agreed to let Team 7 escort him, and agreed to meet at the entrance of the village in half an hour to set off for the Country of Waves.

After asking Naruto and others to go back and prepare for their long journey, Kakashi asked the Third Hokage:

"Sandaime-sama, is it too dangerous for Naruto and Sasuke to leave the village now? Naruto is the son of Teacher Minato or the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki of the village. What if the news is leaked and something goes wrong?"

The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi and then said:

"I know that Naruto may encounter danger when he goes out, but Naruto's identity is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. He cannot stay in the village forever. I have let him stay in the ninja school for two more years. Isn't this enough? ?”

"At present, although the situation in the ninja world seems calm, it is actually undercurrents and full of murderous intentions. If Naruto cannot become a qualified Jinchūriki as soon as possible, the village will only become more passive."

"As for Naruto's safety, you can rest assured."

"I will secretly send an Anbu team to follow you. If you really encounter an enemy that you can't deal with, you only need to retreat with Team 7. The Anbu team will cover you."

After listening to the arrangements of the Third Hokage, Kakashi knew that he could no longer refuse this mission.

However, he still had a doubt in his heart that needed the Third Hokage to answer.

"Sir, that Dazna looks very abnormal. It's just a C-rank escort mission, but he is very picky about the escort mission. Is there something wrong with him?"

The Third Hokage nodded, and then said: "I have investigated Dazna. Dazna has a big problem. The mission to escort him is definitely not as simple as a C-rank mission. He must have encountered ninjas..."

"Meet ninjas? Didn't Dazna conceal the difficulty of the mission? According to the regulations, we can cancel the mission and confiscate his commission money...?"

Speaking of this, Kakashi seemed to remember something and looked at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage knew that Dazna was hiding something, but he didn't expose Dazna. He must have a plan in this matter, and the target of the plan must be the Land of Waves.

"Sir, your target is the Land of Waves and the wealthy Kado?"

This time, the Third Hokage did not answer Kakashi, but just gave Kakashi a look, and then said: "Kakashi, do your task well, don't worry too much about other things."

Hearing this, Kakashi had no choice but to leave the office and go to the entrance of Konoha Village to gather.

As a member of the Anbu, he was no stranger to such tasks of seeking small countries and money from wealthy businessmen, but he did not expect that the first official mission of Team 7 would be such a task.

Soon, after the gathering, Team 7 escorted Dazna out of Konoha Village.

However, what Kakashi and others did not notice was that when they left Konoha Village, a black shadow quietly followed them.

After leaving Konoha, the figure split into two halves, one half continued to follow, and the other half rushed to an unknown small country somewhere in the ninja world.

The news that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki left Konoha has been leaked.
