The episode starts off with Team Seven trying to accomplish their first task. It looks like they are trying to capture something dangerous at first, but it turns out only to be a cat. Eventually, the team got fed up with Class D missions and Naruto sulked when he confronted with the Hokage to obtain their next mission. They were finally granted a C Class mission, to protect a person, Tazuna, a bridge builder from the Wave Country. Tazuna seemed displeased when he found out that his bodyguards are kids. Nevertheless, he eventually accepted them and they set off to the Wave Country. On their way there, they were attacked by a duo, The Demon Brothers. Naruto was injured as he was stunned on the spot when the duo tore Kakashi to shreds. Sasuke being the cool one was the only ninja able to confront the attackers. Kakashi appeared at the last battle scene and defeat the attackers as the thing they tore to shred earlier was just a replacement. Kakashi requested Tazuna about the attacker and Tazuna finally admitted that he's the prime target of Gatou, an evil person who's harassing the Wave Country into poverty. Tazuna is building a bridge that will bring hope to the country and drive Gatou away as he's a ship merchant. Upon Tazuna's explanation, it seems that the mission is more of a B Class than a C Class mission. Tazuna explained that the Wave Country is poor and is unable to pay the extras for a B Class mission. Though Kakashi wanted to return to Konoha to give Naruto treatment on his injuries, Naruto insisted to go ahead to Wave Country and complete the mission. Kakashi realized that Naruto has healed due to the power of the Nine Tailed Fox in him. So they continue their journey.
