Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura gathered at the main gate of Konoha, waiting for a certain salted fish who, despite his heart being dead, was still flopping around in the pot.

Sakura, clinging to Sasuke's back with her arms around his neck, complained, "Sasuke, you don't know, just now, Sister Miko was harassed. She gave a patient a sound beating. I was just getting into it when Teacher Kakashi called me over..."

Naruto felt this scenario was familiar and couldn't help asking, "Who was beaten?"

"I don't know, there were too many people, I couldn't squeeze in. But I vaguely saw it was an old man with white hair."

"..."

"Don't choke me."

"Oh."

Naruto, having been poked by Ido once, felt increasingly sympathetic towards Sasuke.

If he could try the "facial cleanser" with Hinata after getting married in the future, then Sasuke could only play with a "flat tablet" with Sakura at home.

Konoha Flat Tablet, dual-core, dual-standby, powerful performance, durable, won't break for a hundred years, charge for three years, unlimited battery life. Even Nidaime would have to run.

"Yo, since everyone's here, let's go," Salted Fish Kakashi arrived.

Kakashi had gone to inquire about the specific situation. The mission client was hospitalized, and their condition was not optimistic. Kakashi couldn't ask much, only managing to get a general idea of the mission content before rushing over to assemble.

"Don't make that face. This mission involves combat; it's very suitable for you," Kakashi didn't want to go either, but Tsunade had specifically assigned him to lead the squad, so he had no choice.

"What mission?" asked Sasuke, released by Sakura.

Kakashi led the way, with the others following behind: "C-rank mission: drive away bandits."

"Tsunade... is she nuts?" Naruto was speechless. "Sending us on a C-rank mission this late at night?!"

"It has nothing to do with Lord Hokage; it was the client's request," Kakashi explained.

Kakashi was emotionally stable because he had no particular intuition about this mission, which reassured him greatly. He felt this mission was a sure thing.

Moreover, these past few months, their strength had improved rapidly. Even if they encountered a situation like Zabuza last time, his squad could handle it perfectly.

Wait... what did I just think!?

Kakashi was so angered by his own jumbled thoughts that he bit his hand.

"Stop." Kakashi waved his hand, halting the squad. "Summoning Jutsu!"

A small dog was summoned by Kakashi.

"Good evening, everyone," the puppy greeted them after appearing.

"Pakkun, go back to the Konoha main gate first, then follow the scent to find Team Guy. Ask Neji from their team if our mission client said anything on the way!"

"Alright." Pakkun received the order and ran off.

"This matter also involves Neji?" Naruto asked.

Could this be Big Brother-in-Law getting revenge for that brick I threw by specifically arranging this mission for me?

"Mm, this mission's client was found by the roadside when Team Guy had just started their mission. He was injured and on the verge of death. After learning he was coming to Konoha to issue a mission, Neji carried him back to Konoha," Kakashi said, looking at the retreating Pakkun, finally feeling a bit more at ease.

"Neji is screwing me over!" Naruto wailed.

I only broke two of your ribs, do you really need to screw me over like this?

Wait a minute... I just found a mission for Big Brother-in-Law in the ice-and-snow Land of Snow, and as soon as I get back to the village, Big Brother-in-Law arranges a mission for me that requires leaving the village in the middle of the night. Is this... karmic retribution?

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes: "It's you who screwed Neji over, okay? His team was training perfectly fine, and suddenly they were assigned to buy a piano in another country. Guess who that was because of."

After the piano was taken from her home, a certain wealthy loli living in a villa issued a request: buy a piano. The mission required speed and no damage during transportation.

When it came to speed and no damage, Team Guy was undoubtedly the first choice. TenTen could seal it in a scroll, perfectly solving the damage problem.

And under the allure of a huge mission commission fee, Tsunade decisively sold out Team Guy.

Ignoring the somewhat dazed Naruto, Kakashi gestured, and the group continued on their way.

"How is she so rich!" Naruto once again threw the blame onto Kurama Yakumo.

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

Kakashi explained as he walked: "The Kurama clan's Kekkei Genkai is quite special; only one person awakens it every few generations. So, most Kurama clan members don't choose to become ninja."

"Since Konoha's founding, the Kurama clan has established large and small retail stores throughout Konoha. After so many years of development, their scale has grown larger and larger. Now, throughout the Land of Fire, basically all the retail stores you can find belong to the Kurama clan."

Holy crap, are you talking about Kurama or Walmart?

"And because their Kekkei Genkai is special, once someone awakens it, they will inevitably become the next head of the Kurama clan. Yakumo had her own problems before, but now that she's better, so..."

So she's not Kurama Yakumo, she's "My Dad Jack Ma"?

They say raise sons poor and daughters rich, but this damn girl is too rich. She's basically the wealthiest person in Konoha.

I previously said I was losing so much money I was about to become Konoha's wealthiest, but it turns out that was just a drop in the ocean for Konoha's actual wealthiest.

So, after I blew up a well that day, it caused a flood disaster in Konoha, made Jiraiya and Kakashi take the blame, made Tsunade plug the well, got Sasuke tormented by Yakumo, got Ido sealed, barely touched a hair on Yakumo, sent Big Brother-in-Law to buy a piano, and in the end, even I fell into the pit?

And what was the cause of all this? Digging a well.

What I freaking blew up was a well, not a sinkhole! How did it trap so many people?

Wait, why did I dig a well? Because I learned the Rasengan.

This...

If I had known learning a Rasengan would cause so much trouble, I would have jumped off the Fourth Hokage's head and fallen to my death, died outside, rather than learn this Rasengan!

Naruto was extremely depressed and prepared to go torment the vixen to relieve his boredom.

Two terrible chess players playing chess, only getting worse. Since they were young, the boy and the fox had always been evenly matched, and it was still the same now.

And tonight, Naruto lost both games again.

"Skills inferior to a fox."

After that taunt, the Nine-Tails picked up its cola cup, blew on it, and took a sip.

If this were a girl, it would definitely be elegant and graceful, dignified and generous. But it was a fox ball, and all it had was eye-searing.

Naruto almost suffocated from holding his breath. He shouldn't have said that to the Nine-Tails last night.

————

After an unknown amount of time, Kakashi led the group to the front of a shop: "We're here. The mission location is nearby. We'll rest here for the night and gather intelligence tomorrow."

Naruto, who was still unresigned and continuing his battle with the vixen, looked up and froze.

Because he recognized this place: the Life Curry House. In the original story, it was where Kurosuki Raiga was located.

Kakashi, you really dare to say that? This can also be considered a C-rank mission? You can't just disregard Kurosuki Raiga, who wields the Lightning Blades, just because you know Raikiri!

Just as Naruto was frantically complaining in his mind.

An old woman carrying a swill bucket came out from the side door, wiped her hands on her apron a few times, and smiled: "Young lads, it's getting cold. Come inside and sit for a bit."

Sakura's face turned pale.

Inner Sakura frantically smashed a wall.

[Old woman, if your eyesight is bad, don't come out in the middle of the night!!]
