Missão

The next day....

Deep in the forest

"Naruto at point A"

"Sasuke at point B"

"Sakura at point C"

"Shun at point D"

The group reported on the radio, hanging from his neck

" is 5 meters ahead, I will..." Shun reported as he deftly launched himself onto the cat and captured it

"I wasn't wrong, he has a red ribbon on his right ear. Shun reported.

The target was successfully retrieved. "Sasuke reported on the radio.

Later, in the mission office ...

Shun and the team arrive, while a chubby woman with the odd hairstyle runs to get her cat.

"Oh my beautiful Tora, I was so worried" the woman was of course Lady Shijimi, wife of the Daimyo of Fire Country.

Seeing the lady hugging her cat to death, Naruto commented "If I were that cat, I would probably do the same ..." while feeling sorry for the cat's life.

Sasuke , Sakura and Shun silently agreed.

On the table, the Hokage picked up a D-Rank scroll as he read, " This mission is to paint the gentleman's fence ..."

"Hey old man, how about we take a harder mission" Naruto said as he received a slap from Kakashi.

"Hmm..." You guys did well on all the missions, team seven is the one that got the most praise from the villagers for doing their missions well. So I don't see why should refuse naruto's request. And it just so happens that an escort mission has arrived and there are no teams in the village that want such a mission. So you take your team and get ready."

Toc toc toc..

" Come in " said the Hokage, then an old man in a hat and half drunk walked in.

" Whaaaattt " , they are just a bunch of brats " the old man spoke as his gaze landed on Naruto.

"He is the smallest and has the biggest idiot face, you want me to believe he is a ninja...." the old man continued and every now and then took a sip of his drink.

" old bastard " Naruto shouted back as Kakashi instantly stopped him from hurting the old man

"I am Tazuna, a super bridge builder. For the next few days, I will have you protecting me while I go back to my homeland and build a bridge!" The old man introduced himself as he left.

Naturally, Team 7 followed the old man as they left the village.

Tazuna kept looking at Naruto and said "I still don't feel safe with this boy."

"Do you have a problem with the future Hokage, old man?" Naruto asked.

"Hokage, aren't they the strongest ninja in the village? You sure don't look like you're going to be one" Tazuna said coldly.

"Hehe, old man, the day I become one, I will make you recognize me ...". Naruto commented

"Even if you are the Hokage of all nations I will not recognize you ..." Tazuna said as he took another sip.

"Hmmm... kakashi sensei, there are ninjas in the wave country? " Sakura asked.

- No, but... in other countries there are cultures and customs that may be different.

- But, there are secret villages that have ninjas too. Kakashi then explained how the villages and countries work.

- Hey, you doubt the Hokage-sama, don't you? - Kakashi asked.

No, no, no, no," Sakura and Naruto answered.

' A puddle of water? - It didn't rain yesterday and neither did it today - Shun thought to himself.'

Only Shun and kakashi noticed the strange puddle of water and stood alert against any attack.

A few steps after passing through the puddle, two masked ninjas put their heads out of the water.

They waited a bit while the group walked, then climbed to the ground and shot silently in the direction of the group.

Shun who was on alert quickly noticed the shadowy movements and smiled as he turned around and instantly appeared behind the shadowy duo.

*bang*

*bang*

He knocked out the two ninjas taking advantage of their distraction and carried one in each arm as he approached the group.

Kakashi was very surprised, he had seen Shun's ability and had expectations for him, while on the other hand Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto were open-mouthed.

Shun let go of the two ninjas as he walked towards the team.

" Kakashi sensei must have noticed them too, even before me." - Shun spoke.

Kakashi just nodded in response, since he really had noticed them long ago.

You failed!? I paid you a lot of money because you said you were elite ninjas," said a short man with dark glasses pointing at a bare-chested man holding a giant sword.

"Stop grumbling!" said the man with the sword pointing at the short man.

"This time I will go with Kubikiribocho myself, and kill them myself."

Are you sure?

" It seems that the builder has hired some skilled ninjas." Said the short man.

" Who do you think I am...?" - There's a reason they call me 'demon of the hidden mist', Momoshi Zabuza.
