Openly killing the mission client in the Hokage’s office, even if the other party was at fault, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not allow such a terrible incident to happen.
And Shimura Gengetsu’s suggestion of destroying the Land of Waves
That’s even more excessive, making them Konoha and the Yakuza organizations as vindictive as a grudge.
Under Sarutobi Hiruzen’s persuasion, Shimura Gengetsu’s knife was finally removed from Dazna’s neck.
Dazna cried and defended himself:
"I really didn’t mean to deceive Konoha, it’s just that the situation of Wave Country is too difficult!"
"Kado has monopolized all trade channels from the main continent to Wave Country. The residents of the entire Wave Country can only work for him. Only after the bridge is built can we get rid of his control."
"I can’t help it, Lord Hokage. This money is already the limit of Wave Country. If there is more, it will cost the life of Wave Country. Please have mercy and save us!"
Dazna’s acting skills are good. After he finished speaking, the Third Hokage’s expression also eased slightly. Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata looked at him with sympathy.
Only Shimura Gengetsu was unmoved, and even swung a knife to cut open the backpack on his back.
A lot of wine bottles rolled out.
"Tsk, is this what you mean by having no money? Most of the wine here is bought in Konoha, right?"
"Calculate the price, it’s more than enough to pay the commission for a B-rank mission."
Dazna’s throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn’t cry anymore, his old face flushed red.
The three little ones looked at Dazna in shock. They couldn’t believe that this old man who was crying so hard would actually use the country’s life-saving money to buy wine.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also lowered his head in embarrassment.
I’m really old. I actually felt sympathy for other villages’ affairs, and I was almost deceived by "Six Zero Zero".
The successor can’t be delayed any longer…
No one expected that Dazna’s performance would make the Third Hokage think more about retiring. He decided…
Three years, three years later, he would pass the position of Hokage to Jiraiya.
If Jiraiya doesn’t agree, then it must be Kakashi.
In any case, it can’t be Shimura Gengetsu. This kid’s character is too extreme. He can be a deputy, but if he leads Konoha, he will definitely attract hostility from all ninja villages.
Putting aside his thoughts, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to deal with the troubles in front of him: "Dazna, considering the situation of Wave Country, I will not pursue your behavior of deceiving Konoha, but we will not accept your mission."
"No!"
Dazna knelt down hurriedly and begged: "Hokage-sama, when we have money, we will definitely make up the remaining mission funds. Wave Country really needs Konoha’s help."
Seeing an old man kneeling in front of him, Naruto finally stood up and said: "Grandpa Hokage, please help him. No matter what level of mission it is, we will definitely complete it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak, but looked at Shimura Gengetsu.
"Gengetsu, what do you say?"
"You can take this mission, but the price is not the price of an ordinary mission."
The boy bared his fangs, "After the Wave Country Bridge is repaired, you will collect tolls. You keep 20% for yourselves and give me the remaining 80%."
"This… we don’t plan to collect tolls."
The Dazna people were dumbfounded. The original intention of building the bridge was just to revitalize the economy of the Wave Country, so that the special wood and aquatic products there could be sold to the main continent, and the tourism industry could be developed.
But if tolls were collected, the flow of people would definitely be greatly reduced, which would not be worth the loss.
"Then there’s nothing to talk about." Shimura Gengetsu shook his head, "You don’t have this sincerity, and you still want me to help you deal with Kado?"
"As a billionaire, it’s no surprise that he has a jonin protecting him. Can you afford the money for an S-level mission?"
In the end, Dazna humiliatingly agreed to Shimura Gengetsu’s conditions. Not only did he have to pay the mission fee according to the difficulty of the mission afterwards, but he also had to pay 70% of the tolls within ten years to Konoha as a fine for concealing information.
The reason why it was reduced by 10% was that the number was set by the Third Hokage, which was considered to save some vitality for the Land of Waves.
And using this part of the money as a fine was also to avoid destroying Konoha’s mission fee system.
Two hours later, at the gate of Konoha.
Dazna waited listlessly for Team 7, which was ready to go. It was the first time for Naruto to go out of the village for a mission. He was so excited that he wanted to move his family away. After being slapped by Shimura Gengetsu, his eyes became clearer, but he still brought more things than others.
After the members were assembled, Team 7 took Dazna away from Konoha. Behind them, there were three ninjas dressed in ANBU, keeping a distance and following them from a distance.
On the way, Shimura Gengetsu did not forget his identity as a teacher and used Dazna as an example to educate Naruto and Sasuke.
Especially Naruto, he didn’t believe that he couldn’t change this guy’s saintly heart back.
"Naruto, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if this guy concealed the difficulty of the mission?"
Naruto thought for a long time before answering: "Will there be…more powerful enemies?"
"Yes."
"Why did this guy specifically choose C-level missions? Because many C-level missions are carried out by jonin and genin teams, just to get a jonin combat power for free."
"But what if the mission is taken by a chunin team? Once they are careless because it is a C-level mission and are ambushed by the enemy, there is a high probability of casualties. Who do you think should be blamed in this situation?"
Not only Naruto, but Sasuke and Hinata also fell into thinking, and finally looked at the ashamed Dazna.
"Now that you have figured it out, don’t let your sympathy overflow in the future."
Shimura Gengetsu patted Naruto’s head: "Kindness is right, but your kindness only needs to be reserved for your own people and those who are honest with you. If Dazna confessed everything,If you are still able to help him, I won’t say anything."
"But your current strength is not enough to deal with enemies of this strength, and don’t let others pay for your kindness. This is called moral kidnapping."
"Don’t let your kindness harm your own people."
Having said this, Shimura Gengetsu stopped.
We haven’t encountered the enemy yet, so the educational significance of relying on assumptions alone is not great.
Only when the real enemy appears will their perception be profound.
Three days later, the sun was particularly dazzling that day. After the initial excitement, the three newbies who were on their first mission also calmed down.
The sun shone directly on the unobstructed path, and everyone was sweating from the heat.
"Come on, Hinata, give me your hand. ”
Hearing what Shimura Gengetsu said, Hinata obediently stretched out her little hand. After holding Gengetsu’s big hand, she immediately felt cool and looked at him with some surprise.
Gengetsu lowered his head and whispered something in her ear, and the girl nodded gently.
After walking for a while, a small puddle appeared on the road ahead, and Naruto and others walked over without any abnormality.
Until the last Gengetsu and Hinata passed by, two figures suddenly emerged from the puddle, waving chains and rushing over.
The sudden change caught Naruto and others off guard, and they watched the chains tied to Shimura Gengetsu.
Snap!
The two chains were accurately held by Shimura Gengetsu, and with a force, he pulled the sneak attacking ninja in front of him, and crushed the chain mechanism with a strong grip.
"I’ll leave these two to you to practice with. "
In the astonished eyes of the sneak attackers, Shimura Gengetsu kicked them in front of Sasuke and Naruto.
Sasuke had already reacted, threw a few shurikens and rushed forward.
"Naruto, what are you still looking at!"
Looking at Naruto who was still stunned, Shimura Gengetsu frowned and scolded: "This is how you protect the mission target, and do you still have teammates? ”
At this time, Naruto came to his senses and rushed forward with the Shadow Clone Technique in anger.
But he was not here to help, he was here to cause trouble. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The unsystematic Shadow Clone put Sasuke in danger several times, and even his Sharingan was opened.
Finally, Shimura Gengetsu couldn’t stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and pressed his hands on the enemy’s head and smashed it to the ground like smashing a watermelon, smashing his head and bleeding, and he lost his voice on the spot.
The stimulation of blood made Naruto fall into a state of stiffness again.
"Tsk."
Seeing that the enemy was killed, Sasuke put away the kunai in his hand and looked at Naruto unhappily: "Next time, just protect the mission target, don’t come to make trouble for me. ”
Just now he felt that Naruto was more dangerous than the two enemies. He could fight with ease before Naruto made a move, but Naruto made a move and made him feel constrained.
Looking at Naruto, Shimura GenYue began to praise Sasuke, "You did well just now, but your moves were too fancy. Your goal is to kill people, not to show off your skills."
"I’ll find you a good taijutsu teacher after we return to the village, and learn well from him."
"I know, Teacher Xuan Yue."
Sasuke’s mouth curled up slightly, and it was obvious that Xuan Yue’s praise was very useful to him.
"Ahhhhh!"
The stimulated Naruto pulled out a kunai and pierced his palm, shocking Hinata, Sasuke, and Dazna, not knowing what he was crazy about.
"I will never lose to you next time! Sasuke!"
"Next time, I will definitely stand in front of you!"
After saying this, Sasuke looked at Naruto with a complicated expression, and the contempt that had just risen was reduced a lot. Even Dazna’s impression of Naruto changed…..
Shimura Gengetsu waved his hand and continued on the road with Hinata, "Sasuke, bandage this stupid boy. If he continues to bleed, he will die."
Naruto then noticed that his palms were stained with blood, and his face turned pale:
"Ahhh! So much blood!"
"Save me! Sas!"
"Idiot."
It turned out that if Sasuke bandaged a little slower, Naruto’s wound would heal automatically.
After that, Naruto was much quieter, and from time to time he split a few shadow clones to explore the way, which was a bit like a scouting ninja.
But this guy definitely didn’t listen carefully in school. Didn’t he see the lady with the white eyes next to him? Your shadow clone ran for a long time but couldn’t see as far as the white eyes.
Shimura Gengetsu and Sasuke tacitly didn’t say it out loud. They just liked to watch the silly boy toss.
Two days later, everyone came to the border coast of the Land of Fire.
With the help of the morning mist, several people quietly boarded the fishing boat, crossed the coastline and came to the territory of the Land of Waves. Out of fear of Cardo, after sending people to the shore, the fishing boat fled in a hurry.
And Dazna’s expression became visibly nervous.
Amidst the fog, the shadow of a magnificent bridge vaguely appeared in the field of vision. Naruto exclaimed when he saw the bridge extending far away:
"Uncle Dazna, is this the bridge you built? It’s amazing."[]
"This is the hard work of all the residents of Wave Country, not just my credit."
Dazna looked at Shimura Gengetsu with a complicated look, expectant and entangled.
Finding that the other party was in deep thought, he asked cautiously: "Mr. Gengetsu, what are you doing?"
Dazna also hoped that the tragic situation of Wave Country would make the young man feel compassionate, not to say that he would not want tolls, but at least leave more for Wave Country.
In the end, the other party didn’t care about his performance just now.
"Hmm…"
Shimura Gengetsu was in deep thought: "I was just thinking, for such a long bridge, should there be a toll booth in the middle of the road? Otherwise, if I only collect money once, I always feel like I’m losing out."
Plop!
Naruto andDazna fell to the ground at the same time, "Brother Xuanyue! You are too devilish, aren’t you? How can a bridge charge tolls twice!"
"Alas, who made you have so many sisters-in-law? How can I support them if I don’t make more money?"
"Naruto, Sasuke, you must work hard in the future. Only if you make more money can my living standard improve."
Faced with Shimura Xuanyue’s earnest teachings, Naruto and Sasuke had no choice but to nod their heads.
Fortunately, they are not the type to value money. Even Sasuke is still thinking, since Xuanyue is so short of money, if he takes out some of the Uchiha family’s inheritance and gives it to Xuanyue, can he learn more powerful ninjutsu?
Just as Sasuke was thinking about how much money to send, Hinata’s Byakugan had already detected the enemy’s traces:
"Gengetsu-kun! One kilometer away, there are two huge chakras and a weaker one."
2.5 "There are enemies?!"
After experiencing the attack of the ghost brothers, Naruto and Sasuke finally made progress. They immediately picked up kunai and shuriken, surrounded Dazna cautiously, and looked at Shimura Gengetsu, waiting for his next order.
"No need to take a detour, just go straight over, sooner or later we will have this battle."
With Gengetsu’s order, the stagnant team continued to move forward.
Entering the ambush circle, seeing the nervous expressions of Naruto and Sasuke, and the obvious Byakugan, the ambushers also knew that they were exposed and took the initiative to jump out.
"Zabuza Momochi, a demon from the Kirigakure Anbu who defected after failing to assassinate the Mizukage."
Shimura Gengetsu revealed his identity, which also made Sasuke and Naruto more nervous.
Assassinate the Kage?
He must be a very strong ninja to dare to do such a bold thing, right?
Zabuza Momochi held a beheading sword, his eyes narrowed into a long and narrow slit, looking at Shimura Gengetsu’s young face, "I really didn’t expect that a mere old man who built a bridge could be protected by the famous Konoha Death God."
"That’s good, my beheading sword can absorb the blood of another strong man."
To be honest, there are not many people in the ninja world who have the courage to jump out and block the way after knowing the name of Shimura Gengetsu.
Zabuza Momochi in front of him is one of them.
After all, he dared to assassinate the Mizukage, and successfully escaped from the village after failing.
Perhaps this behavior gave him inexplicable self-confidence, thinking that he could go to the entire ninja world.
Shimura Gengetsu was not surprised by his appearance.
He looked at another big tree, where there was a ninja holding two swords standing on the tree, looking down at them.
"The three auspicious treasures, Black Hoe Raiga.".
