Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

The kunai easily pierced through the chest of the Mist Ninja, the sharp blade sinking into it.

The dull sound of falling.

Accompanied by the blood splattering everywhere.

The Mist Ninja, who still had a dazed look on his face, showed a hint of pain because of his body's instinct. His body twitched slightly, and his life was quickly fading away. In less than a few seconds, the Mist Ninja's head tilted, and he died unconsciously from Menma's kunai.

Menma ended the life of this Mist Ninja.

Sasuke, who was standing nearby, also struck a fatal blow, killing another of the demon brothers on the spot.

Some of the blood on their bodies.

Subconsciously looking into each other's eyes.

It seems to have an extra layer of special meaning.

Kakashi, who was sitting at the back, nodded secretly when he saw Menma and Sasuke completing their first killing missions.

As a formal ninja, this kind of experience will happen eventually.

The current Konoha is very different from the previous periods. As far as Kakashi knows, the mentality of the Genin trained in recent years is worse than the other, and their overall level is far from comparable to that of Kakashi and his own era.

There are many examples of people who died in battle or had a mental breakdown not long after graduation due to various problems, and were unable to continue working as a ninja after returning.

to be frank.

At the beginning, Kakashi also had this concern about Team 7, which he led.

After all, Konoha has been peaceful for too long.

It has been so long that the new generation that has grown up has almost no sense of crisis and safety. But now it seems that at least Menma and Sasuke don’t have to worry about anything in this regard, even if they were a little hesitant and timid at the beginning.

But this is also human nature. If the first time killing someone could be done easily and without any disturbances,

Kakashi was actually worried about the mental state of the two.

"Well, good, let's go back."

Kakashi said softly.

"Yes!"

Menma and Sasuke both nodded slightly and responded in sync.

Before the group of three stepped out.

Kakashi also made hand seals with both hands.

"Fire escape."

He released a lowest level fire escape technique, controlling and wrapping around the bodies of the two ghost brothers, burning them to ashes that were blown away by the wind.

It went very quickly.

Came back quickly too.

It took less than a few minutes for Kakashi to torture the two men using illusion.

Menma and Sasuke did not hesitate at all, so naturally not much time was wasted. Sakura and Naruto, who stayed above, saw the two people returning.

Especially after getting close.

When I could faintly smell the blood on Menma and Sasuke.

The expressions of both of them also became a little unnatural.

Although it seemed that nothing had changed, at this moment, Sakura and Naruto had a feeling that Menma and Sasuke were very different from before.

Dazna also looked at Menma and Sasuke with a special look.

I did know a lot about it before.

But after this close and personal contact, Dazna finally truly understood what a ninja is!

"You're only 12 years old..."

Dazna thought silently in his heart.

"Okay, let's go."

Kakashi could naturally sense the slight change in the atmosphere within the team, but this seemed very normal to him!

With a wave of his right hand.

The group of six set out on their journey again, following the planned route and heading towards the Land of Waves.

All the way.

Different from the joy when I just left the village.

The atmosphere in the team became a little bit solemn.

Naruto, who has always been a lively person, has become a little silent.

The same goes for Sakura.

Only Menma and Sasuke remained calm as ever. The differences between them were gradually revealed at this moment.

They were not originally on the same path.

Menma glanced at Naruto on his right. Although his face looked calm, his heart was already cold.

From this moment on.

Menma has completely abandoned the last bit of unrealistic expectations that remained in his past.

"As expected, I can only rely on myself!"

Menma thought silently in his heart.

Chapter 54 Momochi Zabuza

The ghost brothers are just an introduction.

Although judging purely from the most basic standards, these two can already be considered to be at the level of Chunin, they are still just ordinary Chunins, and it is very likely that they are evenly matched with Mizuki, and they really cannot be considered strong opponents.

Without mentioning Menma, it is clear that the next one is Zabuza Momochi, an elite jonin who is one of the top seven members of the Hidden Mist Village and has the ability to rival Kakashi at this stage (who has not yet realized that he has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan).

Even if it was just some of the information Kakashi learned from the ghost brothers.

This is enough to make everyone in Class 7 be on their toes.

Especially Sakura.

All my nerves were completely tense along the way.

The two ghost brothers who suddenly attacked her were no longer someone she could easily deal with at her current age, let alone an enemy stronger than the ghost brothers.

That nervous look.

Kakashi couldn't help but frown.

If a ninja has such a mentality, it is easy for him to collapse. However, Kakashi did not say anything to comfort him. First of all, Kakashi is not a moderate "educator".

Secondly, Kakashi feels that such a psychological problem needs to be overcome by the person involved himself. If he cannot overcome it, then he will just sink into depravity.

Kakashi will fulfill his responsibilities as a guide, but he will not be responsible for all aspects of the problem.

not to mention.

In class seven.

Haruno Sakura's position is really not that important.

It is enough for Kakashi to be fully responsible for the other three.

If Haruno Sakura is worthy of guidance, Kakashi will not hide her incompetence on purpose, but if she is really a rotten tree that cannot be carved, Kakashi will simply let her fend for herself.

It was in such a somewhat discordant and peaceful environment that Team 7 escorted Dazna to the southeasternmost area of ​​the Land of Fire.

It was already dusk.

The sky was gradually getting darker.

The climate was getting colder.

When Menma shook his body subconsciously, a sense of danger suddenly emerged in his heart!

next second!

Within Menma's perception range.

A huge chakra aura was approaching rapidly.

"boom!"

It only took a few seconds.

In the sky.

A violent sound of breaking through the air was heard.

"Whoosh!"

An extremely sharp cold light burst out and quickly attacked Menma and his group who were moving forward below.

"Get down!"

In the front position.

It took Kakashi much later than Menma to sense another chakra approaching.

The on-the-spot reaction was incredibly quick.

It was almost at that moment when that sharp cold light appeared.

Kakashi then took out a kunai.

While shouting loudly.

While suddenly leaping forward.

"Keng!"

In the blink of an eye, he stood in front of the cold light.

Cold front contact.

Sparks flew.

This incomparable pressure made Kakashi's face change slightly at that moment, and he forcibly deflected the attack.

"Shh!"

Fly to the other side where there is a cold light.

"Peng!"

It easily penetrated the trunk of a big tree, and a huge sword appeared in front of the eyes.

next second.

"whoosh"

At the same time, a slender figure appeared at a rapid speed, stepped on the big knife, stood sideways, and a cold aura spread out.

It is enough to prove the powerful strength of the person who came.

Menma's pupils shrank slightly the moment he saw this figure.

"Demon—Momochi Zabuza!"

The person's name also appeared in my mind.

"Wow, it turns out to be the famous Sharingan Kakashi. No wonder the two ghost brothers failed. Tsk tsk, this mission is really not worth it. After returning, I have to ask that old guy for more rewards, otherwise it will be a big loss. So, excuse me, Hatake Kakashi, can you leave the old man behind you to me!?"

Zabuza squinted his eyes and looked at Kakashi in a threatening manner, and spoke slowly.

His whole body was filled with a murderous aura, and a huge amount of pressure was deliberately released.

It was so cold and terrifying at this moment.

Not to mention Menma, who already knew everything, Sasuke and Naruto also turned very serious at this moment.
