Nowhere…
Surrounded by trees open road…
After binding the seven ninjas Naruto came to talk with Kakashi who was integrating Tazuna.
"What do you think we should do sensei? " Naruto asked while taking out a banana from nowhere and biting then asked Kakashi.
"I think we will return back to the village. " Kakashi replied while still looking at Tazuna who is not willing to answer any of there questions.
"Naruto where did you get that banana. " Sasuke asked while approaching Naruto because he was also getting a little hungry.
Although Sasuke has chocolate-flavored food pills but still when he saw real food, he couldn't stop himself from asking.
"What you want some? " Naruto asked back.
"No, it's just... " Sasuke thanks to his pride couldn't say yes.
"Yeah, whatever here take this. " Naruto really doesn't want to talk about it. So he took out a banana from his ninja bag .which he is using as a storage scroll with the same kind of seal. After giving Sasuke a banana he saw Sakura also looking at him. So decided to give her one as well.
"Ok, I will take it if you insist like that. " Sasuke replied while taking
"Thanks " Sakura.
"So, what now. " Naruto asked Kakashi again and looked at Tazuna seriously.
"Last chance old man if you still don't talk we will be going back? " Kakashi said serious tone.
"Yes, you should come clean while you still have the chance old man and believe me he is not joking around. " Naruto told Tazuna.
After looking at the seriousness on their faces Tazuna started crying and thought he should come clean.
"Well, that changes everything. " Kakashi then looked at Naruto then added"From what he said it looks like the mission went to A rank difficulty from 'C-Rank'. What do you think of Naruto? "
"Yes you are right but if more shinobi attacks then we can't be sure for certain about it because from the previous attack the mission was already 'A-rank ' and if there are more shinobi attacks then it could even be an 'S-Rank' mission. "
"Sorry old man we can't do this mission as you have asked for 'C-Rank' mission but this is more difficult than that. So, we don't have any choice but to leave you here. " Kakashi told Tazuna strait on the face.
"No, you can't do that I have a grandson and a daughter…<You know the rest> " Tazuna said while nagging at them.
"Fine, fine we understand. " Naruto replied that gave a sigh "As we have accepted the mission to protect you we will see it to the end. "
"Naruto. " Kakashi tried to stop
"It's fine I also want to see what this Gato up to after all I am a businessman don't forget that. " Naruto replied to kakashi in a low voice that only he(K) could hear.
"Fine, I get it but are you going to pay for the mission. " Kakashi asked looking anyway.
"Did you forget those rogue shinobi have a bounty on each one of their head. " Naruto replied with a smile while pointing at the tied up shinobi.
"Now that you say it like that. You are right. I didn't think about it like that. Don't tell me you are thinking about what I am thinking? " Kakashi asked with an evil smile (For the musk you can't see through but his eyes and facial style is enough for you to know.)
"It seems you got it after all this time. You are right if some rouge Jonin attacks then we will be able to make even more money than 'S-Rank' missions just by capturing one kukukuku… " Naruto replied with his usual evil smile.
"Ok, then I will leave those guy to you. "
"Yes, I will use 'Hiraishin' to take them to the village with one of my shadow clones. "
"ok everyone we are moving on. "Kakashi said loud enough for his everyone to hear about it.
"What about those guys Sensei? " Sakura asked getting ready to start journey while pointing at the 7 tied up shinobi. Sasuke didn't ask about anything but from his face, it was proof enough to say he was also curious.
"Don't worry about them I have sent a message to the village as it's near they will come and capture them soon. " Kakashi replied while preparing to move as well.
After that, they started their journey towards the land of the waves.
=================
Afternoon…
Team 7 with Tazuna had arrived near the water and had no choice but to stop.
"How are we going forward Sensei. " Sakura asked stopping.
"I think there will be a boat coming to pick us up. " Kakashi replied looking at Tazuna.
"Yes, I will have to send a flame signal. " Tazuna replied while preparing to send the signal.
"what is this fog about. " Sakura asked while looking at the sudden fog.
"Its normal around here because of wind and wave it happens time to times. " Tazuna replied
"Move old man. " Kakashi asked while jumping on Tazuna when he was going to light up the signal.
When they fell on the ground a big sword flew from that spot.
"That was a close one. " Kakashi said while looking at his team "Prepare guys it's another enemy attack. "
"So, it's safe to say this fog is one of mist jutsu. " Naruto commented while taking out a kunai.
"Yes you are correct and from the sword, I think I know who might have attacked us. " Kakashi replied getting up.
"Fine. Wind style: wind wave Jutsu. " Naruto said which cleared the area from the fog.
"Well well if it isn't 'Kakashi of the sharingan'." A female voice with ridicule tuning came from the waterside and with it came a big b woman at the same age as Kakashi with the same sword that was thrown at them.
(How did she get that sword back again)
"Well well if it isn't Zabu executioner. " Kakashi replied with same reducing tone.
"Do you know this perverted old lady Sensei? " Sakura asked looking from behind.
Well, you can't blame her as Zabu was only wearing bandages covering her breasts with wearing a short pant and using bandages to covering her mouth like Kakashi.
"Whom do you think you are calling old you brat? " when Zabu heard that she asked angrily while pointing her executioner blade at Sakura.
"Everyone stand back this is a fight you can't join in. " Kakashi said while getting prepared for battle.
When Kakashi started walking toward water a needle-like a sword came from nowhere...
