Chapter 72: First Showing of Hands
Sasuke flinched at the sight of Kakashi "dead" and turned to stare at the two ninjas with serious eyes.
The two ninjas really thought they had killed Kakashi and were turning to look at Sasuke, seeing that Sasuke was alone and was a little surprised to see that two ninjas were missing from a group of five.
Being too confused, one of the masked ninja asked Sasuke in a deep voice
" Boy, I ask you, where are the other 2 guys. "
Sasuke looked alert, he looked around and realized that he really didn't see Naruto and Sakura, he didn't know where they had gone.
He also doesn't want to know.
With a shuriken in hand, he wanted to rush over to them.
Suddenly, Naruto's voice was heard in the sky, saying
" Not want to die, get out of the way. "
Hearing that, Sasuke immediately understood that it was and himself who had said it. Not thinking twice, he stopped, jumped with his legs, and jumped straight backwards.
The two ninjas also heard the voice, and they could not understand why Sasuke had jumped.
As a matter of reflex, they looked to the sky behind them.
They saw Naruto's small body jumping several meters from a tree branch.
Naruto, who was in the air, pointed his shaping chakra at the two ninja in front of him and said
" Fire Release , Great Fireball Technique art. "
A fireball sprayed over, and this time Naruto exerted 50% of his strength.
The fireball slowly grew larger and larger to the point where it was 10 meters in diameter.
Looking at the huge fireball, the two Chunnin were stunned, flabbergasted, and immediately thought of running, but unfortunately the 10-meter coverage area was huge.
As soon as they lifted their feet.
The fireball smashed over.
"The 10-meter diameter fireball hit the ground and exploded, even exploded a mushroom cloud.
The two Chunnin were dead not even a scrap.
Kakashi appeared under the figure, looking shocked at the huge crater that had been blown out.
One ninjutsu killed 2 Chunnin, and although it worked as a surprise attack, the Great Fireball Technique was also terrifying.
It's more powerful than his Lightning Cutter.
Sasuke's face is also gloomy, and Naruto's terror is putting more and more pressure on him.
Sasuke squeezed his fist and remained silent as a huge crater was blown out of the soil in front of him.
Naruto swept a few glances at the charred soil and sighed in relief.
It's not fun that these two guys are so simple, it's not fun at all.
Turning his head to look at Sakura on top of the tree, he called out
" You can come down, all of them are already dead. "
Sakura flinched at Naruto, she was so shocked by what had just happened that the moment Naruto asked her not to move, she jumped over and skillfully launched a ninjutsu at the two ninjas.
The sneak attack was so successful.
Sakura was delighted with the success, happy that Naruto was so smart.
But now her body went limp, and the numbness from Naruto's ear was not yet overwhelming.
She couldn't even jump off, so she looked at Naruto and said, "I'm sorry.
" Naruto-kun~ I'm still a little soft in the legs. "
Naruto has no choice but to take Sakura on by himself, since he was the one who took Sakura up.
So he gathered his chakra and jumped towards Sakura's direction.
With that, Naruto's body made a perfect arc and jumped to Sakura's body, standing on the branch.
Crouching down, Naruto, also not thinking too much, reached out his hands and picked up Sakura's body.
Naruto found that it was really soft, like a marshmallow.
It was as soft as cotton candy, and not at all heavy.
When Naruto turned his head, he jumped to the top of the tree, not even shaking it once.
He gently set Sakura down.
Naruto couldn't help laughing at Sakura's swaying appearance, and said to her
" Do you not want me to help you? "
Sakura looked at Naruto with a shy expression and nodded her head.
As soon as Naruto touched her, her whole body felt as if an electric current had struck her, and she felt sweet and tingly inside.
Naruto had no choice but to reach Sakura's waist with one hand and help her up.
He walked over to Sasuke.
Sasuke looked at them without seeing them.
Kakashi took one look at their intimacy, and after Sakura's shouted confession last time, he was also surprised.
With a dry cough, he said in a calm voice
" Well, let's just take a break. "
After saying that, he looked around and walked over to a forest.
Naruto followed, holding Sakura's limp body.
They found a place and were about to sit down when Kakashi looked at Tazuna who was stunned by the fireball and said
" By the way, Mr. Tazuna, there's something I'd like to ask you about. "
Tazuna asks with a shocked, horrified expression
" What is it? "
Kakashi looked Tazuna squarely in the eyes and, looking a little cold, said
" Those two ninjas were obviously Chunnin of Mist Hidden Village, and your quest is just to protect you from being attacked by bandits or armed gangsters, am I not wrong? "
A cold sweat broke out behind Tazuna's back, not daring to look at Kakashi, lowering his head not speaking.
Kakashi was reasonable and not forgiving and continued to say
"Now that there are two Chunnin, the quest should be a B Rank quest or higher, why a C Rank quest? "
Tazuna gritted her teeth and sweated, not daring to say a word.
As Kakashi continued to ask questions, Naruto couldn't stop himself from interrupting.
" Kakashi-sensei, forget it, these ninjas are also like that anyway. For me, it's a practice that's better than nothing. "
Kakashi turned to look at Naruto, shook his head, and said resolutely
" Naruto , you're strong now but Sakura they're so bad , this quest even Chunnin out , it's going to be dangerous back there . "
Hearing this, Sasuke looked gloomy, stepped forward and said with great seriousness
" I'm not or anything, and this is just right and I meant to. "
Kakashi took a look at Sasuke and did not say anything more. Sasuke was determined to surpass Naruto, so he definitely did not say anything bad in front of Naruto.
And Sakura is not the same, Sakura is just a girl who is not there.
Turning his head to look at Sakura, whom Naruto was holding, Kakashi not said
" or not line, Sakura's strength in terms of this quest not fit. "
Naruto looked at Sakura's same, felt her limp body, and pondered for a moment.
He could not give up on this quest, Zabuza would do anything to compete.
So he bit his teeth, looked at Kakashi with a serious expression and said
" Sakura's safety is my responsibility. "
Kakashi nodded with a small smile and a smirk
" That's best not to pass up. "
Looking at Kakashi's smile, Naruto felt a little trapped for a moment. Obviously Kakashi must have been waiting for him to say this.
