Chapter 100: Labor Reform?In the end, Sasuke was tied to the wooden stake, looking utterly miserable, while Naruto and Robinsat beside him, enjoying their lunch for the day.Sasuke watched them eat, unable to help but swallow his saliva, but he refused to say anything to them, forced to endure it silently on his own."Sigh, what an indomitable Uchiha indeed!" Narutosighed, then handed his meal to Robin and said, "Why don't you go feed him some?""No need, I'm not hungry!" Sasuke's mouth remained stubborn, but unfortunately, his stomach betrayed him with a loud growl.However, Sasuke was overthinking things; Robin's method of feeding was quite different from anyone else's. Suddenly, a hand sprouted from the side of Sasuke's face.Robin walked over, held out the food in her hand, and then those two hands began feeding Sasuke. Sasuke felt somewhat uncomfortable with a hand growing out of his face.But he was too hungry at this point to care, so he started eating mouthful after mouthful.But before he could take many bites, the weather suddenly changed. The originally pleasant, sunny day turned ominous, looking as if the end of the world were arriving.Among those present, Naruto knew this was Kakashi's doing. Robin remained as calm as ever. Surprisingly, it was Sasuke who reacted the most, appearing as if he were facing a formidable enemy.Sure enough, accompanied by a clap of thunder, Kakashi reappeared with a ferocious expression. He pinched his throat, deliberately acting extremely angry, and asked viciously, "Didn't I tell you? Those who didn't get a bell don't get to eat. Why are you breaking the rules? Do you not want to become a Ninja?"Watching his display, Naruto couldn't help but retort, "Kakashi-sensei, just speak normally. There's no need to create such a terrifying atmosphere! Besides, how much Chakra does it take to stage such a grand scene? You should save your energy, given your small frame! Don't go overusing your Chakra and damaging your vitality."After hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi was taken aback. He then scratched his head with a thoughtful expression and muttered to himself, "You have a point!""However, there are some things I must say. First, congratulations on officially becoming Genin. From this moment on, you are members of Team 7, and I am your captain. In the future, we will go on missions together.""My rules are simple, and there are two points you must remember. First, when encountering danger, you must obey the orders of your captain and must not disobey.""Second, as a Ninja, you should always prioritize the mission. Anyone who lets a mission fail because of other matters is absolutely not a qualified Ninja.""However, anyone who would abandon their comrades in the name of the mission is not worthy of being a Ninja!"Thus, Team 7 was officially formed. Soon after, they received their first mission. It was not a high-ranking mission; it was a D-rank escort mission.In reality, however, Naruto knew it was actually a B-rank mission. The requester had lied and concealed some of the truth. During this mission, he would encounter Zabuza, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and Haku.Team 7's duty was to protect the bridge-building expert, Tazuna, until the bridge was completed.The moment they set out on the mission, a dark shadow flew out of the Village. Clearly, this indicated that their mission would not be simple.Naruto naturally noticed this, but he said nothing. He looked at Kakashi, who smiled at him. It was clear that Kakashi had also noticed.When passing by a puddle, the two noticed something unusual again. Both Naruto and Kakashiknew that a Ninja was hiding inside, but they both tacitly chose not to show any reaction.Clearly, Tazuna was being targeted. The mission he had requested was to protect himself from thieves or armed gangs like the mafia, but to save money, he had concealed the true danger of the mission.Now that Ninjas had appeared, this mission had become a typical B-rank mission. If one were to add Zabuza and Haku, who would appear later, the rank of this mission would be at least A-rank.Even so, such a mission was no problem for the current Team 7. Or rather, it wouldn't be difficult for them to execute even some S-rank missions right now.The reason Naruto still had Tsunade give them this mission was that he wanted to recruit Zabuza and Haku under his command.The reason Kakashi didn't strike first was that he wanted to determine who the enemy's target really was. He wanted to figure out whether these Ninjas were targeting Tazuna or Naruto and his team.Soon, the two Ninjas made their move. Judging by their forehead protectors, they were Ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village. They were clearly partners who had worked together for many years and had excellent coordination.Analyzing the ages of the group, they deduced that the guy wearing the mask was the strongest, so they both attacked Kakashi together.The two Hidden Mist Village Ninjas threw out two iron chains from their arm guards, but before Kakashi could react, Naruto struck first. He suddenly appeared behind the two and ended the fight with two punches.The two Hidden Mist Village Ninjas lay on the ground, incapacitated. Kakashi scratched his head, feeling that he lacked authority as a captain; his students were simply more fierce than the next.However, there were things he still had to say. Looking at Tazuna, he said softly, "It seems you didn't tell the whole truth about this mission! These two are Ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, and they are known for doing whatever it takes to complete a mission. If Ninjas are involved, this mission is at least B-rank or higher, and the commission fee would be quite different!"Tazuna seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty and stammered without speaking. Watching his anxious demeanor, Kakashicontinued, "But don't worry! Someone will discuss these matters with you later. Since we in Konohahave accepted this mission, we will definitely see it through to the end. As for these two Ninjas..."Kakashi stopped mid-sentence and looked toward Naruto. Naruto quickly said, "Right, before we left, Hokage-sama told me that if any enemies are subdued, they are to be sent to Huayin Village for labor reform. Leave these two to me! I'll take them there. Wait for me for a moment; I'll be right back!"
