"You did a great job, Naruto." Kakashi stood on the thick branch of a big tree and watched the whole process.
Kakashi was very satisfied with Naruto's performance.
From using transformation skills to approach the enemy, to kicking weapons away, and controlling the enemy with your hands, it is extremely efficient.
This is the norm for ninjas to perform C-level missions.
It is a small probability event that you encounter a powerful rebel ninja during the execution of a mission.
There was only one person left on the field. But after seeing Naruto easily knocking out Brother Harada, that person timidly raised his hands and surrendered.
In this way, all three people were caught.
"Is this the end?" Sakura asked, standing next to Kakashi. It felt so unreal!
"This is the end." Kakashi was very calm.
Isn't this how ninjas should perform tasks? Kill opponents quickly and efficiently, complete the task, and then collect rewards.
Sakura and Sasuke, who had followed Kakashi throughout the whole process, were responsible for tying up the three of them. The mission requirement was to capture the three escaped 'prisoners', and there was no mention of killing them.
By the time Kakashi and the three members of Team 7 returned to Aomori Town with their mission goals, it was already late at night.
Just because ninjas can run on tall trees as if they were walking on flat ground doesn't mean that ordinary people can do the same.
The town was already dark, and only in the areas where wealthy families lived, there were lights, and the light was not weak.
The officials, mayors, wealthy gentry and landowners I saw during the day were gathering in a large house to drink and have fun.
"Everyone! The ninja masters of Konoha are back!" When Kakashi and others entered the house, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly reached its climax.
Although Naruto and others still look like teenagers, these old guys who are several rounds older than them have smiles on their faces like blooming chrysanthemums, and they look like 'ninja masters'.
Kakashi didn't like such a banquet, and he didn't want the three members of Team 7 to be tempted by this feeling.
"Since the mission has been completed, we will leave directly." Kakashi's attitude was firm.
These people did not dare to show off in front of Kakashi, so they immediately said: "Then I will make arrangements for you immediately."
Originally, at night, the town gate would definitely be closed.
But since the ninja-sama is leaving, it's not a big deal to make an exception once in a while.
"Kakashi-sensei, are we leaving like this?" Sakura asked aloud, "We can spend the night in the town."
"This kind of place is not suitable for you." Kakashi replied: "Sakura, you have to remember that the status of a ninja comes from his own strength, which is invincible wherever he goes.
) truth.”
Naruto's steps slowed down a few steps. He heard the people behind him whispering quietly.
"Finally got these guys back!"
"Hmph! How dare you take the lead in resisting. I have to give them a good look this time!
"That's right! Early tomorrow morning, gather the townspeople together and chop off their heads in front of everyone!"
"The gentlemen are merciful and put them in jail. I didn't expect that not only did these guys not appreciate it, they also..."
The voice gradually became smaller and smaller, but Naruto's heart became heavier and heavier.
Is it right or wrong to perform tasks purely for money?
The education in the ninja school told him that this was right. Ninjas only want to complete their tasks and have no other aspirations.
But the soul from another world in Naruto's body told him that this was wrong. People should have their own morals and bottom lines, otherwise they would be just like beasts, no different.
"A ninja has nothing else to do for his mission. To clarify, shouldn't a ninja have nothing else to do for the village?" Naruto chewed on this sentence carefully with the energy he used to do reading comprehension in his previous life, and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
Is this the truth about [The Will of Fire]? The village has always admired the Will of Fire. For the Will of Fire and the village, there is nothing that ninjas cannot sacrifice.
Under the 'brainwashing' of this kind of thinking, Itachi would destroy the entire Uchiha clan for the sake of 'Konoha'.
The more Naruto analyzed, the colder his heart became.
The truth about [The Will of Fire] is really too confusing. If he hadn't come from another world and received a higher level of education, he might have been brainwashed by the Will of Fire.
Isn't that what Naruto in the original novel is like?
When leaving this 'Aomori Town', Naruto made up his mind and decided to do something.
"Kakashi-sensei, I have to go to the toilet." Naruto excused himself to pee and ducked into the alley next to him.
The power of the Tiger Talisman was activated, and in the blink of an eye, one Naruto became two.
There are two Narutos, one has a kind face, a sunny personality, and the liveliness of a young man; the other has a bit of a gloomy and gloomy feel, exuding a "keep away from strangers" temperament.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto? No, I am not." Although they have all the memories of the original Naruto, neither of them is the real Naruto.
"I am not Uzumaki Naruto." The gloomy Naruto said: "I am... Uzumaki Menma!"
"I already know everything about what to do next. You go back to Konoha with Kakashi, and I will stay here." After Uzumaki Menma said this, he left the alley through another intersection.
Late at night, Shintaro Harada woke up from a coma.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar wall again.
"Prison...I still have to come back here." Harada Shintaro had a self-deprecating smile on his face.
As a samurai, according to the education he received, he should have decided to die. But he was really unwilling to do so, so he escaped from the No. 1 prison in the Land of Fire.
Unfortunately, not long after he escaped, he was captured by the ninjas.
He is dead this time! Those gentlemen will definitely show his head to the public.
But he felt something very strange. Why didn't any jailer come in to torture him?
Could it be that these people suddenly became kind-hearted? Shintaro Harada did not believe that this would be the case.
He suddenly realized that a new variable had arisen.
Aomori Town, outside the prison.
Menma Uzumaki was wearing a coat and a fox mask drawn with abstract lines on his face, and Shi Shiran walked into the prison.
The jailers had no time to react and were knocked to the ground one by one.
When Menma arrived at the last floor of the prison, he met 'Harada Shintaro' there.
"You are the ronin warrior who led the townspeople to resist."
"I'm curious, why are you resisting a group of people you can't deal with at all?"
Shintaro Harada looked at the strange man wearing a mask in front of him. He knew that his chance to escape was at this moment.
However, he was unwilling to lie in order to survive.
So he answered straightforwardly: "Those masters forced the people to pay taxes, separated their wives and children, and sold their children and daughters! As a local, of course I have to resist for them!"
