Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 57

"Finally...finally, this isn't the boring job of catching cats and dogs anymore!"

Naruto excitedly clenched his fist, his face full of eager anticipation.

He had been holding back for a long time, and now he could finally show his skills in a real mission and let everyone see how powerful he was!

Before setting off, Naruto specifically tried extending his right palm and concentrating his energy.

The pale blue chakra quickly gathered in his palm, but it suddenly dissipated with a "poof" when he tried to spin it at high speed.

Naruto was slightly taken aback, but then gritted his teeth in defiance and gathered chakra once more.

After several unsuccessful attempts, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and recall the feeling of casting the Rasengan in his dream.

Naruto calmed himself down and raised his right hand again.

This time, the azure chakra steadily took shape in his palm, condensing into a perfectly spinning sphere!

"It's a success!!"

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the buzzing chakra orb in his hand, so excited he almost burst out laughing.

In dreams and out of dreams...

He finally mastered his father's secret technique!

Filled with a sense of accomplishment, Naruto hurried toward the gates of Konoha.

Chapter 64 The show is about to begin

When Naruto arrived at the meeting point at the village entrance, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura were already waiting there.

It's rare for Kakashi to arrive on time today; it seems he's quite punctual when it comes to formal commissions.

"Good morning, Naruto!" Sakura waved and greeted him.

Sasuke leaned against a tree with his arms crossed, glancing indifferently at Naruto: "Hmph, you're late."

"I'm sorry, something came up and I was held up." Naruto scratched his head and stuck out his tongue sheepishly.

Kakashi checked the time: "Thank goodness you didn't keep us waiting too long."

As soon as he finished speaking, a drunken old man staggered toward the group.

His face was flushed, and he reeked of alcohol. He was so drunk that he could barely walk, and he was still holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

Upon seeing the three students from Class 7 in the distance, he was first taken aback, then frowned in displeasure.

"Hey, what's this bunch of brats?" The old man hiccuped and grumbled, "I paid a hefty sum to have Konoha do this for me, and you send these greenhorn brats to fool me?"

As he spoke, his blurry eyes swept over the three members of Team 7 one by one, finally settling on Naruto, the shortest of them all.

"That shortest blond kid looks stupid, can he even be considered a ninja?" The old man pointed at Naruto, muttering with a look of disgust.

Upon hearing this, Naruto flew into a rage. Looking around, he realized that he was indeed the shortest person in the group.

"Damn it! That stinking, drunken old man—"

Naruto was furious and wanted to rush up and teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

However, Kakashi reacted quickly, grabbing Naruto by the back of his collar and pulling him back: "Calm down! That's our client, what do you think you're doing?"

Even though Naruto was being held in mid-air, he still glared angrily at the old man: "Damn it... how dare you look down on me!"

He thought bitterly, "In the dream, I was the one who was the highest!"

The old man, completely oblivious to his own limitations, continued muttering incessantly, "Hmph, is Konoha now short of manpower? Sending a child on a mission... Honestly, I think this trip is going to be very bad."

Kakashi awkwardly put Naruto down, coughed lightly, and said, "Mr. Tazuna, please introduce yourself."

Upon hearing this, the drunken old man finally stopped and cleared his throat.

"Ahem! I am the world-renowned bridge architect—Tazuna." He pulled out a letter of commission and waved it in front of them, saying arrogantly, "Until I return to the Land of Waves and complete the bridge, you brats are responsible for ensuring my absolute safety, you hear me?"

"Hmph!" Naruto snorted arrogantly, wiped his nose with his small hand, and raised his chin, saying, "Old drunkard, don't underestimate me! I've mastered a very powerful ninjutsu, not some ordinary genin! This mere C-rank mission is nothing, leave it to us!"

Sasuke scoffed dismissively upon hearing this, but a hint of confidence flashed in his dark eyes.

He gained just as much from his dream as Naruto, so he was naturally confident in facing the challenges ahead.

Seeing that the two kids were more arrogant than the other, Tazna somehow felt a little more at ease.

However, he still didn't hold back, pursing his lips and muttering, "Hmph, confidence is a good thing, I hope you won't hold me back."

After a brief handover, Team 7 officially embarked on their journey to escort Tazuna to the Land of Waves.

As Naruto stepped out of Konoha's tall, vermilion gates, he felt a surge of emotion in his chest.

He subconsciously glanced back at the gate behind him, which was engraved with the emblem of Konoha Village, feeling both a little nervous and endlessly expectant.

A new journey begins!

Naruto clenched his fists and mentally encouraged himself.

For Naruto, who grew up in the village, this was the first time he had stepped out of Konoha and into the outside world.

He was very excited throughout the journey.

At midday, under the blazing sun, the group found a shady spot to rest briefly.

Naruto had left in such a hurry that morning that he was starving and wolfed down the two rice balls.

Sasuke and Sakura also replenished their food and water.

Tazuna chewed a few bites of dry bread and then started drinking again, making Naruto frown.

After a short rest, the group set off again.

Naruto continued to look around, filled with curiosity about every new and interesting sight.

Looking out, one sees lush fields on both sides of the wide road, rolling green hills in the distance, and white clouds drifting leisurely across the azure sky.

The fresh air, carrying the scents of earth and grass, made Naruto, who was traveling far from home for the first time, feel refreshed and invigorated.

At the same time, he remained highly vigilant, occasionally pretending to be mature as he checked the surrounding bushes and grass, afraid of missing any trace of the enemy.

Walking in the group, he would sometimes push aside the bushes by the roadside to look around, and sometimes jump onto a rock to gaze into the distance, just like a curious little fox.

"Hey kid, look how excited you are! Never seen anything like this before, have you?" Tazna teased, shaking his gourd.

Naruto snorted, not annoyed at all: "Hmph, what do you know, you drunkard?"

Seeing this, Kakashi squinted and smiled, "Naruto, watch your step."

"Huh?!" Naruto was startled by the words and quickly looked down to see where he was going, which amused Sasuke, who shook his head and hummed softly. Sakura also covered her mouth and chuckled.

Seeing his student's tense appearance, Kakashi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly: "Relax, Naruto. We're still within the Land of Fire, so there shouldn't be any enemies. But it's good to stay vigilant, so keep it up."

"Yes!" Naruto straightened his back and patted his chest to assure him.

As the sun gradually set in the west, the first day's itinerary went very smoothly.

The group traveled safely within the Land of Fire, encountering no enemies with malicious intentions.

As dusk fell and darkness descended, the group, feeling somewhat weary, finally stopped.

Kakashi looked around and chose a clearing in the woods near a water source as his campsite.

After a brief division of labor, the group began to set up camp.

The night was deep, and the twinkling stars shone brightly on the clearing in the woods.

The campfire crackled and burned, dispelling the surrounding chill and illuminating several slightly tired faces.

A gentle night breeze rustled through the trees, carrying the occasional chirping of insects.

Tazna leaned against his luggage and gulped down a few more mouthfuls of wine. By then, his face was flushed and he had fallen asleep, snoring loudly.

Seeing this, Kakashi shook his head helplessly, leaned against the tree trunk, and squinted, seemingly lost in thought.

In fact, with Kakashi's alertness, he can sense the movement around him even with his eyes closed.

Sasuke and Sakura, separated by the fire, each organized their backpacks and soon lay down to rest.

Chapter 65 Hinata visits, Kushina assists.

As night quietly fell, Konoha Village gradually became immersed in an extraordinary tranquility.

The stars twinkled on the rooftops of the village, casting a hazy silver glow over the courtyards and paths.

After a busy day, the villagers rested, and the only sounds in the village were the occasional chirping of insects, with a cool evening breeze gently blowing across the village.

The Hyuga residence was equally eerily quiet.

The soft candlelight cast a warm glow on the paper door.

Hinata Hyuga had already tidied herself up. She gently lifted the bedding and lay down on her small tatami bed.

The bed was soft, but she couldn't sleep at all. Her bright eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, her hands nervously twisting the corner of the blanket. She couldn't help but recall the dream from a few days ago.

Thinking of what happened in her last dream, Hinata pursed her lips slightly, and a faint blush involuntarily rose on her cheeks.

Even though it was just a dream, the memory still makes her heart race.

In her dream last time, her father took her to the Namikaze family and said he wanted her to get engaged to Naruto!

She was so nervous at the time that she almost fainted, and even now, the mere thought of the word "engagement" makes her incredibly embarrassed.

After that, Hinata became even more embarrassed to see Naruto, always feeling that her mind was filled with the scene from that dream, and she couldn't face Naruto with a clear conscience.

Whenever she recalls the scenes from her dream, her heart races like a deer.

After waking up, Hinata felt both ashamed and embarrassed, even doubting that it was just a beautiful fantasy she had imagined, and dared not mention it to anyone again.

but……

Hinata quietly turned to the side, half-covering her feverish face with the blanket, and gently exhaled a breath of hot air, trying to calm herself down.

That strange dream only happened once, and it never happened again.

Maybe……

Maybe it was just my own wild imagination?

Hinata comforted herself in this way, trying to suppress the shyness and excitement in her heart.
