Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master!

Chapter 70 A Serendipitous Naruto-Sasuke Combination Attack

When did Sasuke become so strong?

He subdued the two ambushing ninjas without a sound, and he didn't even notice...

This huge contrast left Naruto feeling uneasy.

Naruto was getting a little anxious.

"Don't get too cocky! All you do is steal the spotlight... Hmph, I can easily handle these two small fry myself without you even lifting a finger!"

Sasuke glanced at him dismissively and scoffed, "Tch, stubborn loser."

Naruto was so angry that he jumped up and down again, but the other party's strength was undeniable, and he couldn't refute it for the time being. He could only stare at Sasuke with wide eyes.

Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, Tazna seemed to wake from a dream, recovering from his shock.

He glanced at the two subdued ninjas, then at Naruto and Sasuke who were still arguing, and couldn't help but swallow.

These young devils are surprisingly skilled; they took care of the enemy in no time.

Tazuna felt increasingly uneasy as he recalled how he had lied to Konoha about the mission's level before setting off.

At that moment, Kakashi quickly stepped forward and tied the two attackers tightly with ropes. After confirming that they were temporarily unable to move, he turned around, his expression unusually serious.

Kakashi stared at Tazuna, his voice low and demanding, "Mr. Tazuna, we need an explanation. According to the mission description, this escort should have been a C-rank mission, meaning we wouldn't have encountered any hostile ninjas. But just now, ninjas suddenly ambushed us—if encountering ninjas was possible during the mission, then it should at least fall into the B-rank category. Is there something you didn't truthfully disclose in the mission description?"

The oppressive aura emanating from Kakashi made Tazuna involuntarily shiver.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Sasuke snorted and crossed his arms, saying, "Lying isn't a good habit."

Sasuke's casual display of strength had already deeply shocked Tazuna, and now even a casual, cold remark from the other party sent chills down his spine.

Dazner looked embarrassed and regretful, knowing that he could no longer hide it.

He lowered his head and bowed deeply: "Red Bean Paste Secret Marseille! I deceived you."

"Actually... I concealed the true situation of the mission. The Land of Waves is currently controlled by a despicable merchant named Gato. He monopolizes all shipping and trade within the country, and our people are suffering terribly from his exploitation. The reason for building the bridge was to break free from Gato's control and allow everyone in the Land of Waves to live a normal life. However, Gato sent many assassins to obstruct me. The ninjas who attacked you this time were probably hired by him..."

At this point, Tazuna's eyes welled with tears, and his voice choked with emotion: "The Land of Waves is too poor; it simply can't afford high-ranking guards. I was desperate, which is why I resorted to issuing low-level requests by concealing information... My esteemed ninjas, I had no choice but to do this! Please forgive me this time, I beg you!"

He lowered his head in shame and bowed deeply.

Naruto scratched his head, looking at the old figure in front of him who was willing to put aside his dignity for the future of the country, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He glanced furtively at Kakashi, then at Sasuke and Sakura.

Sasuke calmly nodded, and Sakura sighed.

Kakashi remained silent for a moment after hearing this, before finally calming down.

The Chunin Exams in Konoha have already entered the preparation stage. If we abandon the mission and go back now, we may not be able to find a suitable C-rank mission. For now, we can only continue.

Anyway, Sasuke and Naruto are now more than capable of handling even B-rank missions.

"Alright, we understand." He shook his head helplessly. "Fortunately, we've already dealt with the enemy. Although the mission level has changed, Team 7 will continue to fulfill our duties as ninjas and safely escort you back to the Land of Waves."

"Thank you so much!" Tazuna exclaimed, both surprised and delighted, nodding and bowing repeatedly. "Thank you so much!"

"No need to be polite." Kakashi waved his hand, then glanced discreetly at the two assassins bound like dumplings on the ground. "However, we can't hide mission information anymore. If it weren't for Sasuke's alertness, we wouldn't have had it so easy this time. Please tell us the truth about how many enemies there are and their strength so we can make thorough preparations."

"Okay, okay, I understand! I will answer all your questions!" Tazna nodded repeatedly and agreed.

After a brief commotion, Team 7 regrouped and escorted Tazuna on his way to the Land of Waves.

After this battle, everyone became more cautious about the journey ahead.

In contrast, Naruto and Sasuke did not show much tension on their faces; instead, they exuded excitement and fighting spirit.

One of them mastered the Sharingan's eye techniques, and his strength increased dramatically.

One of them had learned his father's secret technique, the Rasengan, and was eager to try it out.

The two boys were full of high spirits and their self-confidence was inflated to an extreme.

Kakashi walked behind the two, and seeing that they showed no fear and even seemed to have a hint of expectation, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He lowered his head and turned the pages of the book again, thinking to himself.

Sasuke wasn't the only one who learned how to control the Sharingan's power from that dream...

Kakashi touched his left eye beneath the forehead shield, a look of confidence and certainty flashing in his eyes.

Throughout the journey, Naruto continued to look around from time to time.

He was burning with determination, wanting to prove to Sasuke that he was no less capable than him.

Therefore, whenever there is the slightest disturbance around him, Naruto immediately tenses up and becomes vigilant as if facing a formidable enemy.

On several occasions, it was just the rustling of small animals in the forest or the falling leaves in the wind, but Naruto would suddenly throw his shuriken, startling everyone.

"Hey! Don't make such a fuss." Sakura was annoyed by Naruto's nervous reaction and complained, patting her chest.

After several such incidents, the team's progress was severely hampered, and they had to stop and check every few steps.

Sasuke finally couldn't stand it anymore, frowning as he snapped at Naruto in a low voice, "That's enough, Naruto!"

However, Naruto was still unwilling to give up and stared wide-eyed around, afraid of missing any movement.

"Ouch—! Be quiet!" Sakura, unable to bear it any longer, gave Naruto a hard flick on the head.

With a muffled thud, Naruto clutched his head and crouched down, wincing in pain. "Ouch! Ouch! Sakura, why do you keep hitting me?!"

Sakura, hands on her hips, glared at him angrily: "Look at yourself! How much time have you wasted? From just now until now, where have we seen any enemies? Are we even going to continue our journey?!"

Naruto shrank back in disapproval, not daring to argue back. He could only stand up sheepishly, rubbing his head and muttering, "Strange, how did the enemies disappear all of a sudden... I should have left one for me to deal with earlier."

Just as Naruto was feeling dejected and talking to himself, something unexpected happened!

A sharp, whistling sound came from the depths of the distant forest, buzzing as it approached.

Kakashi's pupils contracted, and he abruptly looked up, shouting, "Watch out!"

The next second, a giant blade whistled and spun as it flew towards them with terrifying force!

"That's—!" Kakashi recognized the sword at a glance, and his face immediately darkened.

However, before he could warn them, the blade was already right in front of him!

Naruto felt a strong gust of wind beside his ears, and instinctively jolted, rolling away on the spot without thinking!

call--

The massive blade flew past his scalp, narrowly severing a few strands of his golden hair, before finally embedding itself deeply into the trunk of a thick tree by the roadside behind him with a loud thud!

The powerful force shook the tree trunk, causing leaves to fall in a flurry.

"That was close..."

Naruto broke out in a cold sweat. But when he looked up, still shaken, he discovered that a person was standing steadily on the back of the massive blade!

The newcomer was tall and wore a gray-black sleeveless vest. His face was wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

The man looked down at Naruto and the others, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Hmph, brats, scared out of your wits, aren't you?"

"A mere genin dares to escort an old man building a bridge?"

At this point, his gaze suddenly swept across the crowd and landed on Kakashi, who stood solemnly at the very back of the group.

Zabuza was taken aback at first, then chuckled softly: "Oh? I didn't expect Konoha to be so clever, actually sending the Copy Ninja Kakashi along for protection."

"No wonder the Demon Brothers failed, but well—you're unlucky to have run into me, Zabuza, today!"

A strong wind blew, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Sakura and Tazuna looked terrified and instinctively moved closer to Kakashi.

Naruto had just gotten up from the ground when he saw the powerful enemy who had suddenly appeared in front of him. Instead of being afraid, he felt excited.

I've finally met a worthy opponent! This time, I absolutely cannot let Sasuke get there first!

Naruto's fighting spirit surged instantly.

He simply extended his right hand, and chakra began to gather wildly.

Zabuza's arrogant voice rang out: "Hand over that old man obediently, lest..."

Before Zabuza could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of a strange red light out of the corner of his eye!

The black-haired boy standing in the center of the line below had raised his head at some point, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils.

The two tomoe in those eyes spun wildly, and the instant their gazes met, Zabuza's heart skipped a beat: Sharingan?!

He was terrified and, without thinking, tried to close his eyes and back away.

But it was too late—

Zabuza felt the scene before him suddenly change, and the world was instantly replaced by a crimson expanse!

His figure was uncontrollably pulled into a strange, blood-red space!

"This is—an illusion space?!"

Zabuza sensed something was wrong and was about to forcefully break free when he suddenly felt a tightness all over his body.

Looking down, he saw several thick black nail pillars appear out of thin air, piercing his limbs and torso, pinning him to the spot!

In reality, Zabuza's tall figure stopped moving as if in a daze.

Sasuke stared intently at the enemy, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

It turned out that he had judged Zabuza to be far superior to the previous fodder the moment he appeared.

The chilling killing intent emanating from the opponent was something that no ordinary ninja could possess.

Sasuke was not careless at all and immediately used the strongest genjutsu he learned from Itachi: the Illusionary Genjutsu: Shackles Technique!

This advanced eye technique can instantly drag the enemy's mind into an illusion, using illusionary pillars to firmly bind their actions.

However, Sasuke clearly underestimated the strength of the rogue ninja from Kirigakure before him.

Zabuza was, after all, a well-established S-rank rogue ninja with rich experience and unwavering will.

In just a few seconds, his chakra surged, and he began to break free from the shackles of the genjutsu little by little!

Sasuke gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to activate the Sharingan's power, feeling his chakra being consumed at an alarming rate.

In less than five seconds, he had lost nearly half of his chakra!

Cold sweat poured down my forehead, and my vision blurred and I felt dizzy.

"Damn it... I was too overconfident!"

Sasuke cursed inwardly, realizing just how much chakra it would take to completely control such a powerful opponent.

I'm afraid I can't hold on for long!

Just then, Naruto shouted angrily, "Sass, you bastard! I spotted this enemy first!"

Sasuke was taken aback, and forced himself to look to the side, only to see that Naruto had somehow gotten around to the tree where Zabuza was!

Naruto, his face full of fighting spirit, leaped high into the air and charged toward Zabuza, who remained motionless. In his right palm, he held a rapidly spinning blue chakra ball, its dazzling light blinding and brilliant.

"Rasengan!!"
