Kapitel 83: Chapter 83:- "We Won't Accept Any Excuses"
"Sorry for making you wait," Kakashi said to Mr. Taro, as it was not appropriate for Shinobi to make their clients wait while they took their time to train. Generally, in escort missions, Shinobi was required to give 100% of their time and attention to their clients. It was an unwritten rule that all Shinobi must escort their client to their destination as soon as possible since the outside world is full of dangers.
"It's alright. We are already ahead of our schedule. Originally, we had expected to reach Tanzaku Town tomorrow evening, but because your town now, we should reach Tanzaku Town by this evening." Mr. Taro wasn't dissatisfied. Rather, he enjoyed this change. Since all other Shinobi groups that were assigned to escort him did not interact that much with them, it was nice to see a change. It was nice to be with a team that was genuine and so vibrant.
"Would you like to have it?" Naruto was done roasting some fish over fire. But before eating it, he offered some of it to Mr. Taro and to his group. He felt this was the right thing to do. Eating without even asking if they wanted some was rude.
"No, thank you. We already had breakfast." Naruto nodded his head and started eating. Soon, the girls arrived and ate together.
Breakfast was over within 10 minutes. No one Kakashi did not tell them to hurry, but they all knew that they shouldn't make the client wait.
"Let's continue our journey."
As their journey began, this time, Naruto, Sakura, Hanabi, and Sarada all were walking at the back. Meanwhile, Kakashi was at the front. He was chatting with Mr. Taro. Their conversation was mostly about Mr. Taro's Business. Kakashi was a good listener, and they quickly got along.
"Sakura-chan, how was your training?" Naruto asked with a smile. He could see that she had worked really hard. The Sakura-chan of this world is really different in this world. This change wasn't a bad thing. He liked Sakura more than Sakura in his world.
"Exhausting....!!" Sakura was feeling exhausted. If not for their mission, then right now, she would be taking a rest under the shade of a tree or might have returned home to rest for a few hours.
After all, this was the first time she had trained this hard.
"Haha...!! Don't worry, if any bandit group dares to attack, then I will take care of everything." Naruto said while patting her head.
Sakura's cheeks slightly turned red because of his actions.
"I also kind of regret wasting my time up to this point." Hearing this, everyone looked at Sakura with surprised faces.
"I realized that if I had started seriously when I was around 10 to even 11, then I would have been way stronger." In fact, she felt that if she had taken her training seriously, then she would have been at least ten times stronger than her current self.
Sakura was happy being average in her class. But once she graduated, she realized that the real world is much more crueler. If she hadn't become strong, then she wouldn't be able to stand with someone as outstanding as Naruto.
"Don't worry too much. As long as you put your mind to it, you will eventually become strong enough." Sakura just nodded her head. But she knew that she did not have much time on her hands.
After all, there were many vixens around Naruto. Who knows who might attack first? She would rather attack first and fail than watch Naruto get taken away because she hesitated and let someone take the lead.
'Once I have won, then Naruto will be mine and mine alone.' Sakura blushed heavily as she imagined her married life with Naruto.
"Sakura, why are you blushing?" Hanabi asked with a grin.
"I wasn't blushing," Sakura said as her eyes looked at Naruto for a second.
"You say that... but you're still blushing," Hanabi said with a grin.
Sakura was about to defend herself when Hanabi leaned forward and whispered into her right ear.
"Listen, I am sorry to say this, but Naruto will belong to us, the Hyuga Princess. We won't let anyone take him away from us." By using the word 'We and 'Us,' Hanabi added herself to the competition. Before, she only supported her sister in this race, but now she was in the race.
Somewhere down the line, Hanabi developed feelings for Naruto. His sunny smile and his bright personality had captured her heart even before she realized it.
She cherished all the memories that they made together. Every single moment that she and he shared was special to her.
The days when she fed him on the roof of their Ninja Academy are memories that she treasures the most.
'There is no way I am letting you or any other girl win over Naruto.'
"By the way, how is Hina-chan doing these days?" Naruto asked. Hinata is the most special girl in his heart. She was the first one in both his lives.
"She has been doing well. Her team is still stuck in the village. They are mostly given D-rank missions."
Naruto suddenly slowed down. At the same time, Kakashi exchanges a glance with Naruto. Both of them knew what was going on. Both of them nodded their heads at the same time.
"Hana-chan, why don't you use your Byakugan to scan the surroundings." Hanabi forgot to regularly use her Byakugan. This gave the bandits the perfect chance to surround them. Now, they were closely following the group.
Once Hanabi activated her Byakugan, she was shocked. Close to 30 bandits had surrounded them. They were surrounded from all sides.
"Everyone, I am going into the bush for a second. Nature calls....!!"
Before leaving, Naruto leaned into her ear and whispered. "Don't look if you don't want to see me take their lives." Before Hanabi could say anything, Naruto had disappeared.
"Kill this Red-haired brat first." This way, they would have one less Shinobi to deal with. And this brat was the second strongest after the Jonin. So when Naruto left the group, all the rogue Shinobi went to face him.
"Hanabi, what did you see?" Sakura asked, seeing Hanabi's reaction and seeing the actions that Naruto had taken.
"Some Bandits! Don't worry, Naruto is dealing with them."
The team continued their journey without stopping. Naruto was only gone for about 5 minutes. After that, he returned.
"You're back already.....!!" Sakura was surprised to see him back this soon. She thought he was going to be away for a little longer.
"What can I say? These bandits were very weak." Rather, they were too weak in front of Naruto. Even their Jonin leader stood no chance against the Crimson Uzumaki Progenitor.
Around 4 in the evening, they finally arrived at Tanzaku Town. At the entrance of the town, Mr. Taro and the team decided to separate their paths.
"Thank you for bringing us here." Mr. Taro and his men bowed to team 7.
"It was our job."
"We had fun traveling with you. We look forward to seeing you again."
With that, Mr Taro and his men entered the town in his carriage.
"Now, what should we do next?" Kakashi asked his team.
Kakashi has already been to this town many times in the past. This town is known for gambling and having fine women. In the future, he has come here to deliver important messages to Jiraiya. This town was one of his favorite places.
"We can start our journey to return back to the village. But if we start now then we won't be able to return back to the village before sunset, this means that we will need to stay in the wild for one more night. But on the other hand, you all can use this chance to explore the town and enjoy its specialties, and tomorrow morning, we will start our journey to return back to the village."
"It shouldn't take us more than six hours to return to the village if we maintain a steady speed."
Sarada had no objection. She wasn't interested in sightseeing, but if Naruto is willing, then staying here for one more night wouldn't hurt. So she silently looked at Naruto as if asking his opinion on this matter.
"Kakashi-sensei, let's stay here for the night. I don't want to spend another night out in the wild. There are still a few hours before sunset. We can use that time to explore the town and buy souvenirs for our friends and families." Sakura wanted to go shopping. She has saved a handsome amount from completing two missions. Their mission to the Land of Wave paid them especially well since it was a B-rank mission.
"I agree with Sakura."
Kakashi looked at Naruto and nodded. "Then, it has been decided. But first, let's book ourselves a place to stay. Then each of us will head in our individual way or go together, your choice."
Kakashi knew a nice, reputable hotel. Since he was an acquaintance with the manager, they were able to stay the night at a 25% discount. At first, Kakashi wanted to book two rooms. One for the girls and one for them. But Naruto wanted his separate room. Money was never an issue for Naruto. He, in fact, paid for everyone's rooms.
"Kakashi-sensei, where are you going?" Kakashi was the first one to head out.
"I am going to buy some novels which aren't available back in the village." Kakashi couldn't tell his students that he was going to buy novels similar to Icha Icha. After all, the books that Jiraiya published were only a very few. Kakashi had already finished reading all of them. Now, he wanted to read more novels written by other authors.
Novels are very popular in Naruto. Since Television is still a new thing in this world, literature is still the most popular form of entertainment.
"Hanabi and Sarada, let's go shopping!" Sakura looked very excited. When it came to shopping, she didn't look exhausted. It was as if all the exhaustion that she accumulated during the whole day had vanished into thin air the moment she thought about shopping.
"Alright, let's go." Hanabi wanted to buy a lot of things. Money was never an issue for her either. She was the Hyuga Prince. She would be the last person in the hidden leaf village to have financial problems.
"Since Naruto has storage scrolls, we can buy as many things as we want." Hearing this, Naruto's mouth twitched.
This meant that he would need to come along.
Even the cold and quiet Sarada also looked interested.
'I guess girls cannot resist this.'
Since there wasn't anything for him to do, he went along with the girls.
While walking on the street, Naruto noticed that almost every woman on the street was wearing a revealing and bold outfit. Some women wore very short skirts. Their skirts were so short that their lower cheeks could be seen.
Some wore almost transparent white outfits. Naruto was having a very hard time not glazing at these women.
While walking, they walked past a wearing a short adult Kimono. It was a Kimono-style dress that was very short and V-shaped, revealing their cleavage. This woman was wearing a pink kimono. It was very difficult not to gaze at her huge breasts that rivaled even Tsunade's big breasts.
Her cleavage was very deep, almost like a bottomless abyss. A little bit more, perhaps her pink mini mountain would have been exposed to the whole world.
"Stop....!! You're not allowed to look." Sakura made Naruto look at her by pulling his chin.
"I wasn't looking...!!" Naruto immediately defended himself.
But the girls did not buy his excuse. In fact, they were beginning to regret their decision to stay in this town. They should have left. Even Sarada, who did not understand her feelings for Naruto, also felt the same way. This isn't a place for them.
A few seconds later, another woman who was almost naked walked past them. This time, Sarada, Hanabi, and Sakura all covered his eyes.
"What are you girls doing?" Naruto asked them in a helpless tone.
He wondered how they would react if they knew that he had done and seen more things.
After a few seconds, they removed their hands from his face.
"You're not allowed to look at any women here." Hanabi folded her arms and made her stance clear. She wasn't going. She was very serious about this.
"You shouldn't lift your gaze. Lower your gaze. Look at the ground." Sakura united with Hanabi in this.
"Close your eyes!!" Sarada ordered Naruto in a very cold tone. Her tone was so cold that Naruto almost shivered in fear. He had never seen her looking this serious before.
"Come on, how am I supposed to walk if I cannot look up?" Naruto asked in a helpless tone.
"We won't accept any excuses." The girls put their hands on their hips and glared at Naruto.
"Yes, Ma'am.....!!" Naruto could only helplessly accept it.
