A Dangerous Mission! Journey to the Land of Waves!

Bored with weeding gardens and rescuing cats, Naruto demands a real mission — and Team 7 draws a C-rank escort: walk Tazuna, a perpetually drunk bridge builder, home to the Land of Waves. The catch reveals itself in a roadside puddle that shouldn't exist on a dry day: the Demon Brothers, chunin-level missing-nin, are hunting their client. Kakashi plays dead to expose the target, Sasuke performs, Naruto freezes — and then carves a vow into his own hand with a kunai: never again.
