...................................

As the group were walking in a pathway towards wave everybody was doing their own business. Sakura fawning over Sasuke, Sasuke was quiet as a mouse as usual and Kakashi was giggling while engrossed on his orange book.

"This is my protection" Tazuna suddenly sighed as he then looked at the black jacket wearing blonde who apparently looked alert even though he had headphones on.

"Is he listening to music" Sweat dropped the bridge builder as he looked at Naruto

Well Tazuna assumed wrong Naruto shut down his music the moment they left the gates.

The boy in question came up to Tazuna "Hey Ossan what's the land of waves like"

"Well I'm a well accomplished bridge builder for my countries" Naruto nodded at the proud man "So due to your accomplishments people want you dead"

Tazuna flinched "Naruto you baka! it's an escort mission not an assassination" Sakura scowled at the idiot for saying stupid things

"That's right Naruto we are just escorting Tazuna that is all" Kakashi then started to giggle while he was reading his orange book.

Sasuke was silent as he was in deep thought.

"The blonde is smart" Tazuna was impressed at the kid for putting two and two together.

"I hope they don't find out" sighed Tazuna as he hoped they will get to wave a lot faster

Naruto shrugged as he put on his headphones "Yo kid" Naruto looked up at Tazuna who looked secretive "come here" Naruto nodded as he went to Tazuna.

Kakashi looked at them with a calculative eye "What is it" Said Naruto in a hushed voice.

Tazuna smirked "You like to drink" Naruto raised his eyebrow "I'm not an alcoholic old man" Tazuna shrugged "Suite yourself I have the strongest drink with me" then old man brought out a medium sized bottle with a black, gold and white with a grain logo.

Naruto's eyes went considerably wide this was noticed by Tazuna as he smirked "Is is that" Naruto's voice quivered looking at the old man who nodded as he gave the boy a funny smile.

"But thats illegal" whispered Naruto closely to Tazuna while Kakashi looked to be going to the two.

"Nope not in wave it isn't" Naruto froze "What! Everclear is legal there I heard people die drinking that"

Tazuna suddenly laughed out loud "It depends how you drink it boy" "but that stuff is poison" protested Naruto

"Thought you don't drink" Naruto just ignored him making the old man smile widely. "You alright kid I like you"

"Maa who doesn't drink" Kakashi interrupted two making them both jump.

Tazuna quickly disposed the drink.

"Just establishing a client and employer relationship" Said Naruto, Tazuna furiously nodded his head in agreement

"Mmmmm" Kakashi looked at the two suspiciously as he then resumed reading.

Umm... Kakashi-sensei? Do they have shinobi in wave country?" Sakura asked.

"No, not in Nami no Kuni as their ways are different but hidden villages do exist and they also have ninjas." Kakashi looked at her lazily but was mentally sighing as to why he is doing a lecture and not reading his precious book.
