Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

"Also, Brother Kakashi, you should come out too, right? With your strength, you can easily defeat these two enemies, right? Why are you still hiding?"

Naruto seemed a little dissatisfied and a little confused.

"Haha, I still can't hide it from your eyes. However, I hid for a reason, Naruto. This is to determine who the attacker's real target is. After all, don't forget that our mission this time is only C-rank. Naruto, it's just Menma and Sasuke. You two acted too quickly. Now there is no way to judge!"

Kakashi stepped out from the shadow of the big tree on the right side of the road with a smile on his face after saying the first half of the sentence.

The second half of the sentence was also said deliberately while looking at Dazna.

It was at this moment that Dazna finally lost his composure, and a hint of panic clearly appeared in his pupils.

"Eh? The real target? Brother Kakashi, what do you mean?"

Naruto is just simple, and sometimes he is unwilling to think, but that doesn't mean he is a fool.

Not to mention that Kakashi has already made it so clear!

It would be strange if Naruto still couldn't understand!

"Isn't it easy to find out who the target is? Teacher Kakashi, you should have many ways to pry open the mouths of these two Mist Ninjas!"

Menma smiled softly, glancing at the two still unconscious oni brothers before looking back at Kakashi and responding.

"That's right. You've heard what I said, Dazna-san. Do you need to give us an explanation? Oh, of course, you can also remain silent, but there must be someone over there who is willing to speak!"

Kakashi turned his head and looked at Dazna. At this moment, there was no need to hide anything.

Menma, Sasuke, and even Naruto's eyes had already been fixed on Dazna as Kakashi spoke.

Only Sakura still had a dazed look on her face.

I turned my head left and right, but still couldn't understand what the situation was.

"Hey...."

After the two Mist Ninjas were subdued, Kakashi reappeared.

Dazna's expression was already tense.

As Kakashi finished speaking, Dazna couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

He didn't mean to be ignorant.

But I always pretended not to understand.

Deep down, he always hoped that the ninjas he hired from the Hidden Leaf Village would come and protect him.

Those who want to take his life will retreat when they see difficulty.

He can enjoy a period of safety for free and hold out until the bridge is completed.

But now all the fantasies have been shattered.

"No need to ask, these people are coming towards me!"

Dazna was very frank and admitted it directly. The facts were already in front of him, and there was no point in continuing to pretend.

After all, Dazna is an old fellow who has lived for several decades, so he still understands this clearly. He still holds on to the last glimmer of hope!

Of course, we have to preserve this last bit of goodwill that may not exist, but may exist!

Chapter 49 Completely different attitudes

"Since you have already admitted it, you should know that the difficulty of the mission involving ninjas is completely different from before. These two are ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village. According to the mission level, the lowest one must be B-level. Even considering the possible risks in the future, it is not an exaggeration to set it as an A-level mission. The reward you gave to the village is only C-level. Dazna-san, you should understand the difference here, right? We have the right to give up the mission directly!"

Kakashi also looked at Dazna with a serious look on his face.

Kakashi was almost about to say that Dazna was deceiving the Hidden Leaf Village and lying about the level of the mission, which was an unforgivable mistake in the ninja world!

Because this will cause the ninjas on the mission to encounter unforeseen dangers. The lightest result is mission failure, and in most cases, the entire army may be wiped out!

Therefore, Kakashi's words were definitely not serious.

Dazna himself understood this.

"Of course I understand this, but, Master Ninja, I really don't have any other options. You are an experienced ninja and you should know that our Wave Country is a small country, and the poorest one among the small countries. Especially after being occupied by the big businessman Cardo, the economic lifeline of the entire Wave Country has fallen into Cardo's control. The rewards for these tasks are all collected by my fellow villagers. I really don't have more money. The reward amount required for B-level is already far beyond imagination, not to mention A-level, so I can only take this approach!"

Dazna said this with a very sad look on his face.

"It's only natural that you want to give up the mission, but I am holding on to the last glimmer of hope. I just want to build a bridge of courage for all the people of Wave Country. Master Ninja, I am not afraid of death. I am just worried about my country, my young daughter, and my very young grandson..."

There was even a slight tremor in the words.

Others don't say.

Sakura and Naruto were directly touched.

After all.

The new generation of ninjas trained by the Hidden Leaf Village in recent years cannot be considered qualified ninjas at all, because too many of them have unnecessary sympathy.

This is a real taboo for ninjas!

In many cases, it will not only harm yourself, but also your companions.

Menma really can't stand this kind of behavior. Just because you are pitiful, do you want others to pay for your lies at the cost of everything?

What Dazna did might indeed be for the entire Wave Country, and he might be a man with kindness, courage and righteousness.

But at least in the original book, in this life.

The lies he told to Team 7 were real. To put it bluntly, Dazna's behavior was equivalent to betting the lives of Team 7 on his dreams and the future of their Wave Country!

But since he couldn't even offer them a matching reward, he just planned to kidnap them by using emotion!

Therefore, Menma did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Since Dazna-san has already admitted it, then Kakashi-sensei, let's give up the mission. According to the mission execution regulations of the village, in this case, we don't need to bear any responsibility if we give up the mission!"

Even though Menma knew very well that the enemy behind them was Zabuza + Haku.

With the addition of him to their Team 7, as long as Kakashi is not careless, they will have a high probability of defeating the combination of Zabuza + Haku even more easily than in the original story.

If we really want to continue the mission, Menma doesn't care.

But why would they do this?!

Menma couldn't think of any reason to support himself in doing so.

This will be more than one chance to leave the village!

Menma has no intention of being a saint. Even though he can help some people within his ability, he will never help someone who has morally blackmailed and deceived them.

"Well, indeed, giving up the mission is the most appropriate decision!"

Kakashi also nodded slightly and said.

The team he leads is not a team composed of ordinary people.

There is Uchiha Sasuke, the only orphan left in the village from the former wealthy Uchiha clan, there is Namikaze Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage who died in battle, and there is Uzumaki Menma, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. These are important beings and no accident can happen to any of them!

When the task goes beyond expectations, you really need to give up decisively.

Sasuke on the side didn't say anything, but his face showed a hint of approval. Sasuke really felt that there was no need to continue with such a mission.

When Dazna heard what Menma and Kakashi said one after another, there was an obvious panic in his pupils.

Even though he didn't have much hope.

But what if there was no protection from Team 7 led by Kakashi?

He will definitely die!

Of course, let me be honest.

Dazna was indeed not afraid of death. If his death could lead to the successful completion of the bridge and allow the people of Wave Country to break away from Cardo's control, Dazna would naturally accept it. But if he died now, it would be meaningless!

And there is also the need to consider his young daughter and young grandchildren at home.

Dazna's heart was visibly tightened at this moment.

"Ah? Are you giving up just like that? I don't think it's appropriate. Brother Kakashi, this old man is so pitiful. I think we can definitely help him, right?"

Naruto, however, clearly and stably displayed his 'Madonna attribute'!

In the original work, Naruto could even forgive Nagato and Obito!

It is natural to sympathize with Dazna and be willing to help Dazna.

When Menma heard Naruto's words, his brows subconsciously frowned slightly.

To be honest, Menma really hoped that Naruto in this life would be different, but now it seems that the attitude of his 'cheap younger brother' in this life is exactly the same as in the original work?

Such a thought made Menma very uncomfortable.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei, I think that Kado is too abominable. Let's help Dazna-san and protect him until the bridge is built. I think it's totally possible!"

Sakura Haruno, who was standing aside and had no idea of ​​her own weight but was overflowing with sympathy, echoed Naruto's words at this moment, looked up at Kakashi and said with a hint of hope.

The words spoken by the two.

To Dazna, it sounded like the sound of nature.

This made Dazna's heart, which had completely sunk, regain hope, and his eyes were fixed on Kakashi.

He is very clear.

Do you want to continue the mission?

The decision-making power lies with Kakashi alone!

Chapter 50 So-called Innocence and Passion

This is a direct focus of vision.

"I still think we should give up the mission, Kakashi-sensei. This is not only due to the rules that ninjas should abide by, but also more responsible for ourselves. We don't know what dangers are waiting for us ahead. There are already two Mist Ninjas here. Since that one Kado is able to control the economy of a country, it is not impossible to pay a little more and hire a Jonin from the Hidden Mist Village. Maybe you can handle one person, Kakashi-sensei, but what if the number exceeds this? We can't gamble the safety of our entire team on that uncertain unknown, Kakashi-sensei."

Before Kakashi could speak.

Menma once again said with a very serious look.

Originally, for Menma, the initial words were merely a judgment based on personal attitude. No matter whether he really gave up in the end or continued to carry out the mission, Menma didn't care. Anyway, Kakashi was there. Fighting Zabuza and Haku was also a kind of experience for himself. But now after hearing what Naruto and Sakura said.

Menma completely changed his opinion.

He couldn't stand this kind of "saintly" and confused behavior.

Therefore, he had to stop Kakashi from agreeing to continue the mission.

Menma wasn't sure whether Kakashi in the original work was just overwhelmed with compassion, or felt that he could handle everything, and boldly treated this mission as a special test for Naruto, Sasuke and others, or whether he really just lost his mind at that moment.

Just take Team 7 to continue the mission.

But in this life.

Menma believed that as long as he laid everything out in the open, there was a high chance that he could persuade Kakashi to stop.

In the conversation just now, Menma hinted to Kakashi implicitly that he was not carrying out the mission alone, but was leading a group of rookies, and these rookies had very special identities!

A jounin.

You, Kakashi, can handle it, and you can suppress or even kill most of the jonin, but what about two? Three! ?

Can you still handle it with ease?!

Can they still protect the four rookies from Class 7?!

It doesn't matter that Haruno Sakura is dead.

But as for the other three, why don’t we try to kill one of them?

as predicted.

Menma's words caused Dazna's expression to change drastically.

Kakashi's expression also became serious. No matter what happened in the original book, Menma had already laid the matter out in front of them.

Kakashi must take all these factors into consideration.

As a person trusted by the Third Hokage and able to lead Team 7, the burden on him is much heavier than it appears.

Kakashi fell into silence again.
