( THE LAND OF WAVES PART-8 )

seeing that kakashi has woke up the trio come to his side, seeing that kakashi was trying to get up sakura helped him, after sitting, he looked around, he was feeling really weak at this moment, after seeing the trio he sighed in relief and said.

kakashi: so, you guys are safe huh, that is good, anyway what happened after I lost my consciousness.

sakura: sensei after that mist hunter-nin took away Zabuza, you collapsed because of exhaustion, seeing that your condition was serious we asked tazuna-san to allow us to stay in his house to which he happily agreed.

hearing this kakashi sighed and just as he was about to say something, naruto step forward and hand him a small bottle which contains some pale blue liquid. seeing the bottle kakashi was confused, he look at naruto and ask.

kakashi: naruto what is this, is it some sort of medicine?

naruto nodded and said.

naruto: sensei this an A-rank physical health restoration medicine, during our last battle you used too much of your physical energy in order to use sharingan, so take this medicine it will help you in your recovery.

hearing that it is an A-rank healing medicine kakashi was a little shocked.

kakashi: what! an A-rank, but where did you get one if I am not wrong they are very costly.

naruto nodded and said.

naruto: as you know Nara clan supply medicine to the whole Konoha, so I asked Shikamaru Nara for some health and chakra restoration medicine in order to get some discount, haha at first he was kinda not willing to but after some pestering, he gave in and gave me 35% discount.

kakashi nodded, he open the bottle and drink the content without thinking any further, as the medicine went in, he felt a warm feeling inside his stomach which slowly spread to his entire body, he could feel that his body was healing at a speed much faster than before.

kakashi: thanks naruto, with the current healing rate I will be able to get in my peak state within three days.

naruto nodded and said.

naruto: that is good sensei but we have a problem.

sasuke, sakura and kakashi look at naruto and hearing that they have got another problem a tensed expression on tazuna's face who was sitting on a chair behind the table.

sasuke: what sort of problem.

naruto: after the fight between sensei and Zabuza was over and just as we were about to leave I sensed some presence nearby, so in order to check who it was, I sent a shadow clone in order to tail them. and at the end, I found that they were gatou's men, after tailing them for a long time they reached gatou's head-office so in order to get some info. I spied on them and found out that they are going to stop all the food shipments to the village starting from tomorrow.

tazuna: what! how can they do this, we will die like this.

tazuna's face became pale and a grieved expression appeared on his face.

kakashi: tazuna-san, why are you so worried, there should be some emergency food reservoir in the village.

tazuna: you are right, there is food reservoir in the village head house but it is already empty, the village is been suffering from food shortage for a long time and around five months ago village's emergency food storage was drained and from then we are completely on gatou's mercy.

hearing this sakura, sasuke and kakashi also began to worry about the village and as they were thinking about for a solution, naruto took out a white colour scroll from his clothing and said.

naruto: well for the time being, food is not a problem.

tazuna: what! naruto do you have a solution.

naruto: I do not have a solution but I do have food.

naruto raised his hand and show the scroll to everyone, seeing the scroll a frown appear on kakashi's face and he said.

kakashi: but naruto a storage scroll can atmost store the quantity of food which is sufficient enough for ten peoples to eat for one month and if my calculation is correct there are around 400 peoples in this village.

naruto smiled and said.

naruto: sensei I never said that this scroll contains food.

kakashi: than what it is.

naruto: let me show you.

after saying this, naruto crouched down, he put the scroll on the ground and open it. after which he put his hand on the inscription and insert a thread of his chakra.

'RELEASE'

just as naruto said this a white smoke filled the room and when the smoke disappeared everyone look at the place where the scroll was and were shocked, there was a large pile of scroll bundled in different groups each having a different colour.

kakashi: naruto are these.....

naruto: yes sensei, these scrolls contain food in them there are around 100 scrolls here. the red ones contain meat, the green ones contain vegetables and the white ones contain rice and wheat. if I am right this should be enough to feed 400 peoples for around two and a half month.

while naruto was saying this with a calm expression on his face, everyone was looking at him with their mouth wide open. sasuke and sakura were shocked, kakashi was in a daze and tazuna was on the ninth heaven.

sasuke: I must be dreaming.

sakura: what the hell!!

kakashi: say naruto, why did you bought this large amount of food by yourself.

hearing kakashi and said with a calm expression.

naruto: sensei, after we accepted the mission, I investigated a little about the condition of the land of waves from the Nara clan, since their information is very big.

just as naruto was about to explain further, tazuna interrupt him by holding hand hand, there were tears in his eyes.

tazuna: thank you naruto, if it were not for you, our village would have been doomed.

naruto: old man it is fine you do not need to be this sentimental.

tazuna nodded and forcefully calmed himself down and said

tazuna: oh! yes, we should go to the village's head house. in order to inform him about this matter.

seeing the excited expression on tazuna's face naruto could only nod. he look at kakashi who sighed and gave his permission.

after getting the permission naruto again sealed all the scrolls in the original white scroll, after doing this naruto look at sakura and sasuke, they nodded and followed tazuna to the house of village's head.

seeing the trio leave a light flashed in kakashi's eyes and he mumbled to himself.

seems like the distance between them has reduced to a great extent. ( kakashi mumbling)

..............

in one of the village's street.

the trio was following tazuna. since it was their first time in the village they were really curious and were continuously looking around, but soon enough their excitement turned into despair as they saw the conditions in which the villagers were living in.

there were many homeless children who were searching for food in garbage.

the adults, men or women were walking around with hopeless eyes.

seeing this a feeling of anger appear in Naruto's heart and a killing intent starts to leak out from his body and just as the killing intent starts to grow a hand gripped naruto's shoulder. it was sasuke.

sasuke: naruto you should calm down. this is not the right time.

naruto: sasuke how can I calm down, these peoples are suffering because of gatou's greed. I promise that when I meet him, I will shred him into pieces.

hearing this a frown appear on sasuke and Sakura's face, but they did not say anything else and continue walking.

.........

at the centre of the village in front of village head residence.

tazuna: kids we have reached, let us go inside.

to be continued.
