I saw a man with a really cool sword

In a misty river, a small boat was floating across it containing a few people. Including the builder, Tendou and Team 7.

"We should see the bridge soon." the man who was rowing the boat said.

"The wave country is at the base of the bridge." the man continued.

Among the mist, a large bridge started to appear as the boat continued to approach it.

"Wow. It's huge." Naruto said.

"Hey. Be quiet. Why do you think we have to come from this route without using the engine." The man said to Naruto.

"We will be in trouble if Gatou's assassins find us." the man reminded everyone. Mainly Naruto.

The man named Gatou was a businessman who was trying to prevent the builder from building a bridge that he was assigned to because it was going to interfere with his business.

And he was willing to kill the builder if it could accomplish his goals.

This mission has now exceeded the C-rank mission and has become a B-rank mission.

Kakashi was planning to abandon the mission when he first found out but because of Naruto's persuadation, he wasn't able to.

Then they reached their destination. A port made of cheap materials.

"This is for me. Goodbye and good luck." The man said to the builder as he and team 7 got out of the boat.

"Yeah. Thank you so much." the builder replied.

The group continued their journey.

Hmm. Since Sakura-chan is here I should try to show off my good side to her.

Naruto thought while holding a shuriken in his hands.

"There." He said as he launched a shuriken into a nearby bush that moved a bit.

"...." but there was no reaction.

"Heh. Just a rat." Naruto said while scratching his head.

"Please stop using shuriken. It's dangerous." Kakashi said to Naruto.

"Don't scare me like that might." The builder also yelled at Naruto.

"You are not going to yell at him," Tendou said to Sakura.

"I think compared to you he is more tolerable," Sakura said to Tendou.

"I see, I wonder if I am more annoying than the guy with the big sword," Tendou said while smiling.

Sakura turned around to check on her surroundings because of Tendou's words.

Even though she finds him annoying she knows that he is very competent when it comes to this kind of thing.

"Oh. It was just my imagination." Tendou said as he saw Sakura might have noticed something.

And he didn't want her to find out about the swordsman until he made his official appearance.

After all to him the sword man getting noticed before he could show up is not as interesting as him making his appearance by doing something flashy like attacking someone from their group or trying to maintain his cover.

At first, Sakura was verbally abusive towards both him and Naruto but it seems like she is starting to understand Naruto a bit more.

After all a wolf may scare some people but if a tiger is present it doesn't look as intimidating as before.

"There," Naruto said as he threw a shuriken again.

"Naruto. I know you are stupid but can you stop doing those kinds of things?" Sakura said to Naruto.

"But Sakura-chan, I saw a shadow," Naruto said.

Kakashi slowly walked towards the place where Naruto shot his shuriken to check.

After all, checking something does not cost him anything since the distance between him and the place where Naruto shot his second shuriken is only a few steps away.

"Oh," Kakashi said as he looked at the place where Naruto's shuriken landed.

It was near a white rabbit who was too terrified to move.

"Oh, nice. Dinner." Tendou said as he walked near Kakashi and the rabbit.

"Hey, are you really thinking of using this cute little rabbit as food?" Sakura said to Tendou.

"Yeah. I am gonna cut his feet and make soup. Then fry the rest of the body." Tendou said while giving a terrifying smile to Sakura.

"Just kidding." He said as his expression changed back to his normal one.

"Oh. You are kidding. I thought I was going to have to show off my cooking skills." The builder said while looking serious.

"Bahahaha." The two laughed as they looked at each other.

Both of them are not really serious about eating the rabbit.

Sakura knew that since the builder was now in Tendou's joke she couldn't yell at the two anymore.

"I am sorry Rabbit," Naruto said as he caressed the rabbit.

And Kakashi was now on guard because he knew something was wrong around the place where they are at.

"Naruto. Look out." He said as he pushed Naruto away.

A big sword that was spinning like a shuriken grazed Kakashi's arm a bit.

But you could say it was lucky as if Kakashi hadn't pushed Naruto away Naruto's separated head would have fallen to the ground instead.
