Chapter 17: Drunkard Tazuna, the Ghost Brothers Attack  

The children were so young that they were all little brats.

"What the hell? Why are they all little brats?"

Tazuna muttered, then gulped down a big mouthful of wine.

He narrowed his eyes, staggered at the children in front of him, especially the shortest one, and continued with a look of disdain:

"Especially that little dwarf, he's super stupid when he does things. Hey, are you really a ninja?"

After saying that, he took another sip of wine, seeming very dissatisfied with his discovery.

Naruto heard this description and asked in confusion:

"Who are you talking about? The smallest and dumbest-looking one?"

Sasuke and Sakura walked silently to Naruto's side, and their height difference immediately became very obvious.

Naruto suddenly realized that the drunkard was laughing at him!

His anger was ignited instantly, and he shouted angrily:

"I'm going to kill you!"

Just when Naruto was about to rush forward, Kakashi quickly stopped him.

"Why are you going to kill the uncle we are about to protect, idiot!"

Kakashi scolded unhappily.

Naruto calmed down a little, but still glared at the man angrily.

At this time, Tazuna spoke.

He looked at Kakashi, nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"I am Tazuna, the super celebrity who built the bridge. During the time when I return to my country to build the bridge, you have to do your best to protect me."

Obviously, compared to the impulsive Naruto, Tazuna felt that Kakashi, the silver-haired man, looked more reliable.

"That's right, Mr. Tazuna, please get ready, we will set off in the afternoon."

Kakashi nodded.

After saying that, he left in an instant.

Sasuke, who was standing by, also raised his mouth slightly.

...

After a few people hurriedly finished lunch and packed their luggage, they arrived at the gate of Konoha Village and successfully met with Tazuna, who had been waiting for a long time.

Naruto looked around curiously, his face full of excitement.

"Okay, let's get ready to go!"

"Why are you so excited?"

Sakura looked at Naruto and asked in confusion.

"Hehehe... Because I have never left the village to go outside before~"

Kakashi glanced at Naruto and thought to himself:

'It seems that the Hokage doesn't want the Jinchuriki to make any mistakes...'

He knew very well that Naruto, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was extremely important to the village, and the Third Hokage acted so cautiously to prevent Naruto from falling into the hands of others.

However, for Naruto himself, this is equivalent to being imprisoned in the small village of Konoha.

Tazuna pointed at Naruto with a questioning look on his face and said:

"Hey, is it really okay to send just a kid like this?"

Kakashi replied with a smile:

"Haha, with me as a senior ninja following you, you don't have to worry too much."

Hearing the doubts about himself, Naruto immediately turned around and said:

"Hey, uncle, don't underestimate the profession of ninja, I'm very powerful!

I'm a super elite ninja who will become Hokage sooner or later. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. Remember it well!"

Sasuke looked at the sky outside. Although he was not as excited as Naruto, he was still a little excited in his heart.

This is the air of freedom.

After Naruto was excited, everyone continued on their way.

As they walked, Sakura suddenly asked curiously:

"Teacher Kakashi, Mr. Tazuna's country is the Land of Waves, right? Then, are there ninjas in that country?"

"No, there are no ninjas in the Land of Waves, but although most countries have different cultures and customs, they all have ninja villages and ninjas. On this continent, the existence of ninja villages can be said to be the military strength of a country, and the strongest are called the Five Great Countries..."

Kakashi patiently explained. He briefly introduced the Five Great Countries and their many small countries.

Sasuke looked at the sky outside, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He was not as excited as Naruto, but he was still a little excited deep in his heart.

After all, this is freedom!

After Naruto's excitement passed, everyone continued on their way.

As they walked, Sakura suddenly asked curiously:

"Teacher Kakashi, Mr. Tazuna's country is the Land of Waves, right? So, does that country have ninjas?"

Kakashi nodded and replied:

"Well, there are no ninjas in the Land of Waves. However, although the cultures and customs of each country are different, on this continent, most countries have ninja villages and ninjas to a greater or lesser extent. The existence of ninja villages is of great significance, and it can be said to be the core of a country's military power. Of course, the most powerful countries are collectively referred to as the 'Five Great Powers'..."

Kakashi began to explain patiently and carefully, and gave a general introduction to the situation of the five great powers and the many small countries around them.

"Forget it, don't worry, there will be no ninja duels in C-level missions. In this way, you don't have to worry about coming into contact with foreign ninjas."

Sakura said with a smile.

Tazuna, beside her, heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, revealing a guilty look.

...

Several people walked along the path.

When they passed a puddle on the way, Kakashi and Sasuke stared at the puddle at the same time, exchanged glances with each other, and continued on their way.

However, at this moment, something strange happened!

Two figures suddenly jumped out of the puddle, wearing masks and holding iron chains covered with spikes in their hands.

Then, the two of them quickly threw out the chain, tightly wrapping around Kakashi's body and strangling him hard.

"The first one!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at this scene.

He felt speechless.

"Come on, Teacher Kakashi, you are too perfunctory, aren't you? You actually use a trick like the substitution technique to get rid of your opponent?"

"Teacher Kakashi!"

Sakura and Naruto exclaimed in unison.

At this time, the ghost brothers also rushed towards Naruto like lightning.

"You are the second one!"

"Naruto, Sakura, don't be afraid, the other party is just a small role, you two quickly get rid of them!"

Sasuke shouted calmly to the panicked Naruto and Sakura.
