team 7 strength

During the journey, Tazuna began to explain about himself, his job, and why he requested an escort mission. However, the reaction he received was so normal that he wondered if the ninjas truly lacked fear.

"Hmmm, so our enemy this time is Gato, huh? Satsuki, do you have any suggestions for defeating Gato?"

"Huh? Easy, just burn him with 'Gokakyu' and done, it's that simple, you don't know that, hmph!"

Satsuki, reverting to her tsundere mode, turned away after giving a rather horrifying suggestion.

"Well, I know that, but wouldn't it be uncool if the enemy were defeated so quickly?"

"In that case, use dad's method, employ 'Gouka Mekkyaku,' then let Sakura smash with 'Shannaro,' and you finish it with 'Cho Oodama Rasengan,' cool enough, right?"

"Hooooo, good idea, and that could be our combination jutsu. Then what about Mama Anko? If mom uses 'Jormungand,' we might end up getting swallowed too."

"Why are you all so relaxed? Gato is a terrifying person, he has many strong and dangerous subordinates."

Tazuna, unaware of the children's strength, continued to warn them about the dangers of Gato.

Meanwhile, Sakura, focusing ahead, noticed something strange. She saw Anko smiling slightly, indicating she wanted to test them.

Quickly, Sakura alerted Anko to stop and reminded her teammates of the enemy's presence.

"Sensei, please stop, and you two, we have enemies coming, let's go out and get ready to fight."

Naruko and Satsuki, hearing Sakura's warning, quickly stood up, ready for battle.

They went out, surveyed the surroundings, and finally spotted where the enemies were hiding.

"Sakura, it's your turn now, force them out."

Sakura quickly advanced, dashing at high speed, and suddenly stood in front of a puddle.

"Shannaro!!!"

*BOOMMMMM

Sakura unleashed a punch that shattered the ground around her in a radius of tens of meters.

And sure enough, one of their enemies immediately emerged from hiding, with an expression of confusion, anxiety, and fear.

"How is this possible?"

"Idiot, today is the peak of summer, and there hasn't been rain for the last few days. A puddle in the middle of the road would be very strange, you know, such basic knowledge and you don't understand that, and you try to be an assassin, did your mother never teach you how to hide, hey uncle, answer, or is it actually your mother who is hiding because you are too stupid, so she's ashamed to acknowledge you as her child huh? You know, explanations about hiding techniques are taught in ninja academy since the first semester, have you never gone to school? Never learned? And you arrogantly want to become an assassin? A job that requires precision? You probably can't even count from one to ten, very sad.!!"

If words could kill someone, then Sakura would have killed her enemy multiple times over with nothing left.

Hearing Sakura's harsh comments made him very despondent. Who else had the chance to learn in school? From a young age, they only learned how to kill, nothing more, and until now, their tricks had always worked.

The assassin called his brother to come out and face Sakura together, knowing that Sakura was very strong, not just physically but her mental attacks were also potent.

After both emerged, they quickly attacked Sakura, but unfortunately for them, Naruko and Satsuki were faster.

They appeared behind the two assassins and launched their respective jutsus.

"Chidori!!!"

"Rasengan!!!"

Both jutsus hit their targets precisely, and as a result, the two hunters had to concede their lives to the grim reaper.

"Arghhhhh, it's unfair, didn't you say it was my turn to act, Satsuki-chan!"

Satsuki, questioned by Sakura, simply replied.

"I said it was your turn to make them come out!"

"Grrrrrr!!"

Sakura couldn't say anything because Satsuki's response was indeed correct; she only said it was Sakura's turn to make the enemy come out, she never said to let Sakura defeat the enemy.

Seeing the action of her three students, Anko couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha, what do you think, Tazuna-san? They are very reliable, right?"

She looked toward Tazuna, who seemed to have recognized the capabilities of the three mischievous girls.

With that minor obstacle out of the way, they continued their journey until a few days later, they arrived at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves.

"We should get off and use a boat from here, can this vehicle be converted back into a capsule?"

"Don't worry, old man Tazuna, this vehicle can run on water, so no need to get off and change vehicles."

Before Tazuna could comment, Anko pressed the gas pedal and plunged into the water.

Tazuna, initially panicked, calmed down when he saw that they weren't sinking.

"Told you!"

Their journey then continued until they truly entered the Land of Waves.

Upon arrival, they were confronted by the notorious bounty hunter known as the demon of the hidden mist, Zabuza Momochi.

Naruko and Satsuki were eager to fight, but Anko intervened, deciding it was her turn to show off.

A highly one-sided battle ensued, with Anko playing with Zabuza like a child, until he was eventually defeated and had to be rescued by his companion.

However, before they could escape, Anko said something that made Zabuza and Haku stop.

"Zabuza Momochi, and Haku Yuki, according to the latest reform rules from the fifth Mizukage Ao, all missing nin from Kirigakure who left due to the implementation of the bloody mist program by the fourth Mizukage Yagura are welcomed back home, and all their bounties have been cleared."

Hearing this, Zabuza would be lying if he said he didn't miss his homeland, proven by his moment of silence before eventually leaving.

Now, Anko just hoped that they wouldn't have to fight someone on Zabuza's level again. While Zabuza might not be strong in terms of power, his tricks could be dangerous for those unprepared, because Zabuza and Haku's combat abilities were designed for killing.
