Son of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha

"Kakashi-sensei, what is the mission this time?" Naruto looked at the scroll in Kakashi's hand and asked curiously.

Sasuke and Sakura also looked at Kakashi curiously. All three of them were very concerned about their first mission after becoming special jounin.

Kakashi had already read the mission content, handed the scroll to Naruto and said: "This time I am going to pick up an acquaintance and escort him back."

"An acquaintance?" Naruto took the scroll and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Zabuza?"

"Zabuza?" Sasuke and Sakura were equally surprised. They knew Haku's origins, but they had never seen Zabuza since he was brought back to Konoha.

"That's right, it's Zabuza." Kakashi confirmed, "He came to Konoha this time as the envoy of Kirigakure Village in the Country of Water. The purpose is to establish the connection between Konoha and Kirigakure. If everything goes well, it will probably

We will become allies."

"Why did he become the messenger of Kirigakure Village? What on earth did my dad talk to him about?" In fact, if he hadn't suddenly received this mission today, Naruto would have almost forgotten about Zabuza.

After all, the decapitating sword is not worth worrying about. If Samehada can be used as a power bank for Kakashi, the blood-sucking regeneration function of the decapitating sword is really useless.

In fact, Kakashi also thought this was quite magical. For a person who had assassinated the Mizukage, it would be good if he was not killed on the spot when he returned. Unexpectedly, not only was this guy fine, he also regained the Mizukage's trust and transformed into a new person.

I don’t know how to become an envoy.

"Minato-sensei provided him with some help and allowed him to successfully return to the Kingdom of Water. The specific situation will only be known after Zabuza comes.

In short, our mission is to wait at the coast, then escort Zabuza and his party back to Konoha, and then serve as escorts at the venue.

Of course, try to observe them on the way to see if they really want to establish contact or have ulterior motives."

"It feels so complicated." Sakura sighed. In the past, the execution of tasks was straightforward. It was clear where to go and what to do. However, unlike now, we have to consider changes in the beginning and the follow-up.

"This is a Jonin. In many cases, the difficulty of a task does not mean that the enemy is strong, but that the situation that needs to be dealt with is more complex, and you need to use your own judgment."

I don't know if it was because he forgot to bring the Kissing Heaven, but Kakashi was particularly like a teacher today. He kept explaining to Naruto and the others along the way, including his previous experience in executing missions, and what to do when the mission involves ninjas from other countries.

Things to pay attention to etc.

On the way, Master Yuka was still cooking, and another sheep accidentally fainted in front of Naruto. Naruto thought it might be suffering from heatstroke, so out of kindness, he took the sheep back and thought about how to help it cook.

Nucleic acid or something.

In the end, because Naruto's visual inspection showed that it was 'sheep' and not yin, the four of them could only cut it into small pieces with tears in their eyes, process it at high temperatures, and then break it down manually...

Naruto burped, feeling that he had made an outstanding contribution to maintaining the environment of the ninja world.

After a night's rest, the four of them arrived at the dock on the east coast of the Country of Fire the next morning.

Zabuza and the others expected to arrive at noon, but in fact the four of them waited until the afternoon to see a large ship sailing to the shore. There was still some uncertainty in sea navigation.

Naruto had already opened the mini map. In his perception, the person coming this time seemed not that simple. Naruto shouted in the sealed space as if to confirm: "Big fox?"

"It's Isofu, you can't be wrong." Kyuubi confirmed Naruto's guess, but at the same time he was still a little puzzled.

What's going on recently? These guys are all approaching this kid one by one. In the past, they might not be able to meet him even once in a hundred years.

"Everyone, please pay attention, the three-tailed Jinchuuriki is on the boat." Naruto reminded that the three Jinchuuriki should be the fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura, a middle-aged man less than 1.5 meters tall.

According to the original timeline, he should be controlled by Obito using the Mangekyō Sharingan, or he should have been killed. I don't know what the situation is when he appears here now.

"Another Jinchuriki?" Sasuke and Sakura were both a little numb. They had already seen the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, Seven-Tailed and Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki in a short period of time, and even witnessed the battle between the two giant beasts.

Now it's just a three-tailed one, a small scene.

"Why did the three-tailed Jinchuuriki appear here?" Kakashi frowned. How could anyone put mushroom eggs on the table before negotiating? Isn't this a provocation?

After thinking for a while, Kakashi asked: "How many people did they come?"

Naruto counted the people and said: "There are thirty-two people. According to chakra, only twelve of them look like ninjas. The others should be ordinary people like boatmen."

Looking at the ship getting closer and closer, Kakashi could only say: "Stay vigilant."

Naruto suddenly remembered something and reminded: "Sasuke, put your thunder knife away."

Although this is a trophy obtained from a traitorous ninja, and we use it with confidence, it is better not to let the owner of the suffering see it before we break up.

Sasuke reluctantly put the two swords on his back into the scroll. Although he felt it was unnecessary, he still wanted to give Naruto some face.

Finally, the big ship docked. It looked to be about the same size as the one they took when they went to the Snow Country last time.

Eight people got off the boat one after another, led by Zabuza, followed by a short man wearing a cloak and a hood.

"Welcome to the Land of Fire." Kakashi greeted him and spoke in a formal tone.

"It's you guys who are here to greet me. It's been a long time since I last saw Kakashi." Zabuza was still carrying the beheading sword on his back, and he didn't look as gloomy as before.

"Why are there still children?" Sakura quickly expressed the questions in Sasuke and Kakashi's minds.

Goji Yagura opened his hood, revealing gray hair and pink pupils, a vertical scar from under his left eye to his chin, and a black stick that was taller than him slung across his back.

He held his arms in his arms and put his face on his face, but he said in a very mature voice: "I am not a child!"

Yagura hated being treated as a child, so he corrected him seriously: "I am the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village!"

"Huh?" Sakura was stunned, and Kakashi and Sasuke also turned to look at Zabuza.

Zabuza nodded to show that what he said was true.

"I'm sorry!" Sakura apologized quickly, she didn't expect Mizukage to be so... distinctive.

Kakashi also immediately said: "I'm sorry, we don't mean to offend, but there is something I have to ask clearly."

Yagura didn't pursue it further and said, "Please speak."

Kakashi stared into his eyes and said seriously: "The communication sent by Kirigakure Village to Konoha stated that the envoy to Konoha was led by Zabuza. So, why did the Mizukage and the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki appear there?

What about here?"
