Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Chirp... Chirp...

Walking along the path that opens up through the woods, all you hear is the clear chirping of birds.

Footsteps sounded, and Kakashi, looking drowsy, walked in the middle of the group, next to bridge-building expert Tazuna, and on either side were Tetsuya, Naruto, and Sasuke.

Just as Tetsuya had guessed, seeing Kakashi arrive with the members of Team 7 to accept the mission, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally entrusted the task of protecting Tazuna back to the Land of Waves to Team 7.

coming!

In the middle of the dry, muddy road, a small puddle of water stood out conspicuously, leaving Che speechless.

Please, are Zabuza's men all idiots? The sun is blazing, and even though the forest blocks most of the sunlight, the temperature is still extremely hot. The past few days have also been sunny, so where did the water come from?

As Kakashi stepped over the puddle, he glanced down with his eyes, which were barely open.

Two Chunin are not a threat; rather, we can use them to test the students' combat performance.

After the group had all crossed the puddle, ripples spread silently. First, a man wearing a Mist Ninja headband and a mask covering his mouth and nose peeked out and looked at the backs of the group ahead. His eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent. Then, his entire body emerged, and with a forceful pull, he dragged another companion out of the puddle and threw him forcefully at the white-haired adult man in front of him.

Among this group, the old are old and the young are young. The only one who might pose a threat is Kakashi, who is wearing a Jonin vest. The two decided to strike first. As long as they successfully dealt with the strongest one, the other three teenagers and the target of the mission would be easy to capture.

Everything that followed was completely under the control of the Ghost Brothers.

The chains crossed and flew, swirling left and right, instantly binding the white-haired target tightly, completely eliminating any possibility of him forming hand seals to counterattack. Then, the Ghost Brothers simultaneously swung out the scythes at the other end of the chains, plunging them into the enemy's body from both sides, instantly cutting the target into several pieces, with blood spraying all over the ground.

Is this all the Jonin of Konoha are capable of? They're nowhere near as strong as Lord Zabuza!

The demon brothers grinned maliciously and swung their blood-dripping scythes without hesitation, instantly killing the three boys who were completely stunned and motionless, as well as their assassination target, Tazuna. The whole process was incredibly smooth.

Just as the demon brothers stood amidst pools of blood, laughing loudly, the chakra within their bodies suddenly stopped flowing, and the scene before them spun and shattered.

When the demon brothers regained consciousness, they were horrified to find that they were now firmly chained to a large tree. The Konoha Jonin, who should have been dead, was slowly withdrawing his hands, and the sealing runes on his fingertips could still be faintly seen.

Was everything just now... an illusion?

"Phew, as expected of a ninja from a great ninja village, even a young boy is this strong!"

In the distance, Tazuna let out a long sigh and looked at Tetsuya's retreating figure with a sigh.

When the two Mist Ninjas emerged from the puddle, Tazuna, who heard the commotion, was so startled that his heart almost stopped. To his surprise, Kakashi, the captain, didn't even need to intervene. The boy simply glanced back at the two Mist Ninjas, and they were completely unable to resist. They stood there motionless like wooden statues, and even when they were tied to a tree with the chains they brought, they were still unable to break free from the genjutsu.

It seems that protecting the Konoha-employed ninjas was indeed the right thing to do. However, if they find out that I concealed the mission's level, I'm afraid...

This thought caused sweat to trickle down Dazner's forehead again, and worry filled the depths of his eyes.

"Uncle looks very hot, is it because of the weather?"

Feeling a gaze lingering on him for a long time, Tetsuya turned his head and exchanged a glance with Tazuna before speaking.

Does this mean they already know?

"It's a bit hot, it's a bit hot..."

Dazner kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking somewhat disheveled.

His strength has improved again, how is that possible?

Compared to Naruto, who was completely bewildered and unaware of what had happened, Sasuke had already sensed the ambush by the Demon Brothers. He had originally planned to put on a big show, with his hands already in his ninja tool pouch, ready for battle. However, the intense battle he had anticipated did not materialize. With just a glance, Tetsuya had defeated the enemy.

If you were in their shoes, facing two opponents alone, even if Sasuke could take down the Demon Brothers, it would be far from easy.

"Tell me, why did you attack us?"

Kakashi walked up to the Demon Brothers, his deadpan gaze fixed on their Mist Ninja headbands. Despite not releasing any Jonin-level killing intent, the Demon Brothers felt immense pressure.

"Konoha's Jonin, do you really think there would be anyone from our Kirigakure who's afraid of death?"

Ye Tou's lips curled into a disdainful smile, showing absolutely no fear of death.

"As expected of a ninja from the Village of Bloody Mist, they will fight to the very end, no matter the cost..."

Kakashi sighed, slowly raised his hand to push up his headband, revealing his scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.

"It was you..."

The moment the Demon Brothers saw the Sharingan, they immediately remembered the name of the Konoha Technician. They tried to close their eyes, but it was too late.

The demon brothers' eyes gradually lost focus, already under the control of the illusion. In just a few words, Kakashi had clearly inquired about the demon brothers' origins and purpose, and turned around with a hint of caution.

"Mr. Tazuna, our original mission was to protect you from the Black List or thieves, but we didn't know that you had been targeted by ninjas, and not just any ninjas, but troublesome figures like Zabuza the Demon."

After being swept over by Kakashi's gaze, Tazuna, who was still sweating profusely, collapsed to the ground with his legs weak and blurted out the whole story of the Land of Waves.

"Keijin Zabuza?"

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, subconsciously searching his memory, and realized that the other party was not a ninja mentioned in the Ninja Academy.

"One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Village, well, we should add the word 'former'."

Tetsuya chimed in casually from the side, causing Sasuke to clench his fist involuntarily.

Not only is he incredibly strong, but he also has such extensive knowledge?

Wasn't he from a commoner background?

"...That's the situation. Should we continue with the mission? Let's hear your opinions."

If it were just Kakashi alone, he wouldn't have too many concerns. But Team 7 contains the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Uchiha orphan, and neither of them can be lost. Even though Kakashi knows that there are Anbu members following nearby, there is still a certain risk.

"They're definitely continuing the mission. The word 'give up' doesn't exist in Naruto's dictionary."

Naruto, standing nearby, spoke up first in a nonchalant manner, immediately drawing ridicule from Sasuke.

"When the enemy appeared just now, I don't know who was so scared that they stood there motionless."

Seeing that another argument was about to break out in the group, Kakashi immediately spoke up to stop it, separating the love-hate relationship between Indra and Ashura.

In the end, the group continued towards the Land of Waves, each on high alert. Naruto, in particular, was unusually eager to save face, running around frantically and becoming extremely suspicious.
