Volume 2: Demon Beast Rampage Inuyasha + Naruto Chapter 74: Heading to the Land of Waves (Revised)

  The survival training has officially ended, and the Seventh Class is also formally established. After becoming a true lower ninja, it's only natural to carry out missions. To be honest, I never wanted to graduate in the first place because I hate missions the most. The tasks that God gave me are still not completed, and now I have to complete the tasks assigned by the Ninja Village, so being a renegade ninja is indeed better. From now on, all the tasks assigned to us are D-rank and C-rank, with no difficulty at all, which means they're just trivial chores. For example, helping take care of children, finding lost pets, tidying up pastures, picking up trash from rivers, and so on.

  "Next, the seventh group of Kakashi's next mission is... to help the four adults take care of their children. If not, then go to the neighboring village to buy things and also help with harvesting pumpkins..." The Third Hokage said slowly as he looked at the scroll.

  "No! Don't give us this mission! I want to do something more challenging! Give us a different mission." Naruto immediately stood up and vetoed it, from the recent situation, he was already fed up with this mission, what a short-tempered little fox.

  "Idiots! You're just inexperienced newcomers! Everyone starts with the simplest tasks and accumulates experience!" Iruka-sensei also immediately slammed his hand on the desk, calling out to Naruto. It seems he really cares about Naruto.

  "But, but...! We've been doing really boring missions lately." Naruto also yelled at Iruka-sensei, and then Kakashi gave Naruto a headbutt.

  "Long time no see, Third Hokage." I stepped forward to greet the Third Hokage. It had indeed been a long time since we last met, except for when I first woke up in this world and our few subsequent meetings, as well as the day after the Uchiha clan's destruction.

  "Ah, Avani, you've grown so big already, although still a child. How are you and Uchiha's kid doing? Do you need me to send someone over? This kid of yours is really something... I originally wanted to have you go to the Hyuga clan, but you refused." The Third Hokage smiled warmly, then his expression turned serious as he said this, worried about such a young child living alone and often sending Anbu to gather information about her and Uchiha's kid.

  "It's because being alone is freer than being with a big family. Ah, this is a gift for you, although I don't understand it, but all the adults seem to like it." She took out a book from the Blood-colored Sakura Ring and handed it over to him.

  “… Cough, cough! This is a pretty good gift.” The Third Hokage flipped through the pages quickly and closed it, using his cough to cover up the faint blush on his face. Meanwhile, Iruka, who was sitting next to him, curiously leaned over to take a peek at the book in the Hokage's hand, and then he completely froze. Because this book was an issue of "Beach Girls", Iruka's mind was filled with thoughts of "I'm sorry, teacher! My student has been corrupted!"

  Here is what four people are thinking in their hearts.

  Naruto looked at the Third Hokage's face with a curious expression, as well as Iruka's petrified expression. "Why does the Hokage have such a sly look on his face? What did Sakura give to the Hokage, and why is Iruka-sensei sitting there like a stone statue without moving?"

  "What book did Haruno Sakura give to the Third Hokage? It can't be our tattletale book, what's going on?!

  Sasuke stared at the book handed to him by Naruto, with countless black lines sliding across his forehead. 'This idiot, she wouldn't have bought that kind of book again, would she? Didn't I tell her not to buy it?'

  Kakashi, with his sharp eyes, looked at the book in Hiruzen's hand with a curved gaze. "I didn't expect that Akane would give such a good book to Hiruzen-sama. When will she ever give me that gold edition of 'Intimate Paradise'?"

  …………

  ………

  "Alright, I understand. Since you're so insistent, I'll give you a C-rank mission instead. You're going to protect someone." The Third Hokage said with a pipe in his mouth, looking like he had been bought off.

  "Really? Who is it? Is it Lord Daimyō or Princess?" Naruto heard and immediately turned around, saying with an excited face.

  "Don't be so impatient, I'll introduce him to you right now. Can you come in?" Along with the Third Hokage's words, a drunk middle-aged man stumbled in from outside the door.

  "What's all this nonsense?" he said, and then picked up the wine bottle in his hand and took a big swig.

  "Hey, that short and stupid guy over there, are you really a ninja?" The old man said with a look of disdain on his face, which was red from drinking too much wine, it's unclear whether he's drunk or not.

  "Haha, who's the shortest and most foolish guy?" Naruto said with his hands on his hips, then Sasuke and Haruno Sakura stood beside him in perfect sync, and the height difference became apparent. In fact, the shortest one was actually Naruto.

  "What's with that?! Akane is obviously shorter than me!" Naru shouted immediately.

  "Is the stupidest and shortest guy you're talking about me?" I looked pitifully at the drunk uncle, with a noticeable crossroads on his forehead, that damned Taro actually poked my sore spot.

  "Haha... Little girl, how could I possibly be talking about you? I was referring to that guy over there with the yellow hair and a foolish look on his face." Dazna took a glance at the child and thought to herself, "Wow! What a lovely girl! Seeing her suddenly reminds me of my grandson." I couldn't help but chuckle to myself, "Hmph, you deserved that, Mingren!"

  "I'm gonna kill you!!" Naruto immediately went ballistic, wanting to pounce on and bite the old man to death, but was restrained by Kakashi who grabbed his collar.

  "I am the world-renowned shipbuilding expert, Dazna. Before I return to my country and complete the bridge, please stake your lives on protecting my safety."

  …………

  In the middle of escorting Dazuna back to the Hidden Leaf Village, two people suddenly appeared and attacked Dazuna. They first used a serrated chain to bind Kakashi and then ripped it apart, although it was just a substitute body. However, the sight still startled everyone, and Haruno Sakura let out a terrified shriek, but she looked like she thought it was kind of fun and asked if she could try it next time. The two Mist ninjas then shifted their target to attack Naruto, who seemed to be paralyzed with fear. In desperation, Sasuke threw a shuriken to pin the serrated chain to a tree, and then threw another one to secure it further. The two Mist ninjas tried to pull out the chain but failed, so they gave up and retreated. One of them used his poisoned claw to scratch Naruto's hand, while the other attempted to attack Dazuna, but both were knocked unconscious by Kakashi, who suddenly appeared, and were tied to a tree.

  Then Kakashi analyzed it, this task has already exceeded C-level, if someone else comes to attack, it will become a B-level task. Then Naruto was seen as the weak one, with Sauske's kunai pierced into his own palm, saying he would no longer be afraid, and that he would use his hand to protect Tsunade. However, his blood smelled really good, a sunny flavor, which is what some clans yearn for, pure blood.

  Then it was the attack of Zabuza Momochi, who also brought out his Sharingan to fight. No wonder he's one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, Kakashi had to bring out his Sharingan to take him on. On the other hand, as soon as Sasuke heard the word "Sharingan", a strange expression appeared on his face, because in his knowledge, he thought that everyone who possessed the Sharingan and was from the Uchiha clan except for Itachi had been killed. And Sasuke felt infinite fear when Kakashi and Zabuza's killing intent collided, wanting to end it quickly with one slash of his sword, I had no choice but to give him a good punch to wake him up, if Sasuke had three long and two short, Itachi would definitely hit me.

  Next, Kakashi was trapped by the Water Prison Jutsu, and Zabuza's clone attacked me. First, Naruto was kicked flying, the forehead protector representing the ninja was trampled underfoot by Zabuza, and Naruto was also unable to move due to fear. Sasuke made a judgment in an instant and chose to help Kakashi escape, because without that Jonin, the team would be doomed. However, Sasuke was also kicked flying instantly because his movements were slower than Zabuza's, maybe he needs some speed training. And Naruto, reminded of his oath by the pain in his hand, stood up again and retrieved the forehead protector, although he was kicked several times by Zabuza.

  "Hahaha... you guys really haven't grown up at all. How long do you plan on playing ninja games?! At your age, my hands were already stained with blood." Zetsu slowly said, but Naruto and the others were extremely shocked, they probably couldn't imagine killing people at their age.

  "Oni... if you don't cut it down now."

  "Oh, it seems you've heard about it."

  "A long time ago, in a village of ninja called Kirigakure... there was one big obstacle to becoming a ninja."

  "Hmph! You even know about that graduation exam. Hmph, hmph, hmph... It's just a fight to the death between students who were originally comrades, eating from the same pot, paired up and killing each other until one of them dies. Before that, they were all helping each other, discussing their dreams together, competing with each other as friends." As he said this, it seemed like this matter had nothing to do with him, but Naruto and the others were there, shocked and unable to speak.

  "Ten years ago, the graduation exam of the Hidden Mist Ninja Village had to undergo a massive reform. This was due to an evil spirit that appeared the previous year and caused a change. A young boy who hadn't even obtained his ninja qualifications, without any hesitation or wavering... killed all over 100 examinees in one go."

  "That's really interesting." Kakashi said, and then his gaze pierced through Naruto and the others, they felt an unprecedented killing intent. Then in an instant, Sasuke was blown away.

  I was about to use my elbow to knock Sasuke's stomach, but I quickly moved over to help him block the attack. His stomach has important organs like his liver, and if he were to damage it, Uchiha-san would definitely scold me. "You can't hurt him, although you've reminded me of some fun times from my childhood." A smile crossed my face - yes, it was really fun. When I was six years old and had my memories sealed away as a human, there was that one battle to select the best assassins... if I recall correctly, over 100 children participated.

  "Idiot, run!" Sasuke looked at the girl in front of him who had recklessly blocked the attack for him, and now his only thought was to get her to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

  "Heh, yeah, it's indeed very interesting. Looks like you've also done something similar to me, looks like not everyone in Kakashi's team is useless after all." Just as she was about to laugh, with just one hand, she could block his attack, and the emptiness and bloodthirst in her eyes showed that this young girl was of the same kind as him, but the clarity in her eyes made it somewhat contradictory.

  Across from him, Kakashi was trapped and could see the look on his face, an evil smile, his originally brown-red eyes seemed more like blood red, empty, bloodthirsty, emitting a murderous aura. Unlike her usual soft and gentle voice, this voice had a low undertone, with a bewitching feeling, just like a devil wearing an angel's mask, was this really his student...

  "Yeah, thinking back on it is quite pleasant and exciting. But those three weren't all useless, at least the one behind me wearing blue isn't - he's different from those good-for-nothings, he's a genius! So you can't hurt this unpolished gem, if you damage some important parts, someone will scold me." He stretched out his left hand and pointed with his thumb to Sasuke who was kicked flying by him. Remembering the scene of Itachi frowning, he couldn't help but pout.

  "Will someone scold? Hehe... You shouldn't be his bodyguard, but if you want me not to hurt him, you'll have to get past me first." Zai said with a sneer as he raised the large knife in his hand and swung it towards Ren Er.

  "No, he's a little raccoon I'm raising, but I'm not his master, I'm just helping to take care of him. Although it will change the plot a bit, the result is still the same." With the speed and agility of the Blood Clan, I dodged the big knife's attack and then took out the ninja sword that Raccoon Brother gave me from my ring and stabbed it into his belly, but because it was a water clone, after being attacked, it naturally turned into water. And Raccoon Brother is no longer in the Dark Department, so of course he gave me the ninja sword, anyway, he doesn't need it anymore.

  "Alright, the water clone issue is settled. Next, should we play a close combat game or a projectile one? Close combat will get our clothes wet, so let's go with projectiles instead. Let's see if Zabuza can dodge my thrown weapons. Loser dies, winner... unfortunately, there's no prize. Okay, here we go!" He took out his shuriken and kunai, swiftly throwing them at Zabuza. To be honest, I wanted to use a handgun, but this is the world of ninjas after all.

  Sasuke looked at the girl in the distance with some surprise. In his memory, this girl who had been with him day and night had average strength, neither high nor low, always mid-to-upper level. Although she was very clever, she also often made foolish mistakes. There was only one time that left a deep impression on him, and even now he couldn't help but turn pale when thinking about it - the time she had ruthlessly kicked that man of the same clan as him in a certain place, the scene was truly terrifying.

  Naruto's jaw dropped in shock. He had never thought that Akira was this strong, seemingly even stronger than Sasuke. What was going on?!

  Haruno Sakura was also staring at the girl with her back to them in surprise. In her impression, Aoi Sakura was a mid-performing student, but her extremely cute appearance made her especially popular among the boys, and she was walking very close to Sasuke, which made Haruno extremely jealous. She had always thought that the only thing she could surpass her in was grades, but now it seemed that reality wasn't like that...

  Due to the exertion of Mizu Rou no Jutsu, he can't dodge as nimbly as usual. Under the attack of numerous weapons, each one striking at his vital spots, he suffered some minor injuries. However, Mizu Rou no Jutsu was also released as his hands left.

  "Kakashi-sensei, it's all up to you from now on. This kind of high-difficulty task isn't something we genin should be doing, but I believe in you." He said with a wave of his hand to Kakashi.

  "Ah, Akane you're really heartless, but leave it to me from now on." Kakashi stood up and smiled at the person, then turned towards Zabuza, his Sharingan eyes fixed intently on him.

  "Hmm... my stomach was kicked twice, if I had been hit by his elbow, I would have vomited blood. Let's treat this first before talking." After a few seals were concluded, a green glow condensed in his hand, and the small wounds on Sasuke's body also disappeared.

  "...Akane, don't waste your chakra on this place." Sasuke opened Akane's hand, but her technique was already complete.

  "Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei will take care of him. You just watch from the side and enjoy the show. Do you want to eat your favorite tomato?" From the ring, a bright red tomato was pulled out and stuffed into Sasuke's hand, then jumped onto a higher tree, I don't want to be affected by Kakashi and Zabuza's ninjutsu.

  After that, Zabuza was defeated by Kakashi's Waterfall Jutsu, and then several thousand needles suddenly appeared and pierced Zabuza's neck. A masked youth with a misty face appeared, and after confirming Zabuza's death, the youth took away Zabuza's "corpse". Naruto was shocked and jumped up, while Kakashi collapsed due to overuse of chakra and Sharingan.
