Chapter 401 – Night Talk At The Rooftop
The night was cold, and Kakashi sat on the rooftop of the inn, looking at the moon in the sky.
'How many years have I looked this bright round moon?'
Kakashi can't remember.
He only knew that when he came into this world, he was looking at this bright round moon.
He looked it when he was refining the chakra, and he was looking it when he was training his swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, the moon in this world is not the moon from his previous life.
It has signs of life, and even the last boss in this world is there.
Kakashi sometimes thinks, if there is Master Roshi in this world, he will be able to destroy the moon with his Kamehameha, with that, he won't have to work so hard.
Unfortunately, there is no Master Roshi in this world.
Kakashi sighed and murmured: "I'm really tired."
At this time, a big hand was placed on Kakashi's shoulder.
Kakashi was taken aback for a moment as he didn't notice someone is coming this close to him. 'Am I too lax?'
"Kakashi, what are you thinking about?"
"Jiraiya-sama, why are you here? How is Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
Jiraiya sat next to Kakashi and said: "Naruto's injury has recovered almost with the help of Kyuubi's Chakra, and he should wake up tomorrow."
"Is that so? That's good then." Kakashi nodded.
Jiraiya then looked at Kakashi seriously.
"Kakashi, seeing you this time, I feels that you are a little different from before," Jiraiya said.
Hearing this, Kakashi lightly said with a smile: "Really? People will always change."
"No, this change is not in personality, but in…feeling."
Jiraiya said, looking at Kakashi's left eye that was covered by the forehead protector.
Kakashi was taken aback, 'Is it discovered by Jiraiya-sama?'
Jiraiya may seem stupid and idiotic, but in fact, he is smart.
Today, when facing the four-tailed Naruto, if Kakashi used Sharingan, it can be solved quickly.
But Kakashi didn't use it.
There are only two reasons for this. Either Kakashi doesn't think it is necessary, or Kakashi's Sharingan cannot be used.
Thinking about the reasons, Jiraiya is more inclined to the latter.
Because Jiraiya remembers that the reason why Kakashi disappeared for two years seemed to be to deal with the Sharingan's problems.
Now that Kakashi comes back early, it is unknown whether the Sharingan's problem is resolved or not.
Therefore, Jiraiya tried to look at Kakashi's left eye at this time.
"Jiraiya-sama, I'm sorry but I can't tell you about these things." Kakashi apologized.
"Sure enough, that is the case. Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. It's okay as long as your heart is still with Konoha." Jiraiya smiled heartily.
Kakashi smiled and didn't answer, but moved to another topic.
"Jiraiya-sama, how good do you think Naruto is right now?" Kakashi asked.
After hearing Kakashi's question, Jiraiya contemplate for a while, and then said, "Naruto? When it comes to strength, Naruto already has reached Jōnin-level, but when it comes to the mind of doing things, he is still far from Jōnin. After all, there won't many mission experiences when he followed me, so Naruto is far from enough to deal with some things."
"It's about the same as I thought." Kakashi nodded.
"Kakashi, Naruto's progress is very fast. I plan to teach him Sage Mode a year later. At that time, Naruto may be able to surpass me." Jiraiya said with a smile.
"Sage Mode? There are a lot of things Naruto has to do this year. Training his Chakra Attribute should also be on the agenda," Kakashi said.
"Well, I have already considered about that. After some time, Naruto will start training it."
"Since Jiraiya-sama already has plans, I will not say much," Kakashi said.
"Relax, I'm still very confident in teaching Naruto. The way you teach Naruto to train with the shadow clone is really good. If it weren't for this method, I'm afraid that Naruto's progress will not be this fast." Jiraiya praised.
"This method is very good, but it can only be used by Jinchūriki like Naruto. As for ordinary people, I am afraid that they will die if they used this method."
"That's right. By the way, Kakashi, I got some information. Akatsuki is probably going to act in one year at most. At that time, I will trouble you to look after Naruto."
Kakashi frowned upon hearing this and said: "Jiraiya-sama, are you planning to face the Akatsuki alone?"
Jiraiya smiled and said: "Of course not. I will just collect some information. After all, this organization is really dangerous."
"Jiraiya-sama, don't go head-to-head with the Akatsuki. According to my investigation, the people in it are all powerful missing-nin. Even if your strength is extraordinary, you are still outnumbered."
"Don't worry, I am the one of the Legendary Sannin, the Sage of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya-sama. I won't die so easily!"
Jiraiya laughed and immediately patted Kakashi's shoulder.
Hearing what Jiraiya said, Kakashi couldn't say anything more.
Suddenly, Jiraiya showed a wretched smile as he took a book with a red cover from his pocket and then, he handed it to Kakashi.
Kakashi was taken aback, and said, "Jiraiya-sama, this is…"
"This is the "Icha-Icha Innocence" that I spent two years writing. It is the sequel to "Icha-Icha Violence ".
Hearing this, Kakashi's expression changed when looking at the red small book.
"This, this…" Kakashi didn't know what to say for a while.
Jiraiya showed a confident smile and said: "This is my masterpiece. It will definitely satisfy you!"
"Thank you very much, Jiraiya-sama. By the way, I feel a little tired, so I will go back to sleep first. Let's continue our discussion tomorrow. Goodbye, Jiraiya-sama."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he immediately used Shunpo and disappeared from the rooftop.
Seeing this, Jiraiya smiled proudly.
"Sure enough, my Icha-Icha series is full of charm, even Kakashi can't stand the temptation. I believe as long as it is published, it will sell hotly again! Ha ha ha, I really am a genius writer!"
Jiraiya then also get back to his room to rest.
Right now, in Kakashi's room, there is a small table lamp that is on.
Kakashi was flipping through the small red book with the help of the small lamp. And his mask couldn't hide the wretched expression on his face.
From time to time, Kakashi made perverted laughter, which looked quite strange.
And in such an atmosphere, time passed by.
When Kakashi turned the last page of the book, the sky has already lit up.
"Ah, it's an amazing book. It's really a satisfying read.. It's already dawn without me knowing."

Chapter 402 – Dirty Deal
The sky is already bright, but Kakashi is not in a hurry to get up.
Kakashi felt a little tired as he didn't sleep all night.
It's still early, so he should be able to get one or two hour of sleep.
When he woke up again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Seeing this, Kakashi got up from the bed numbly and tidied his clothes.
Looking at the small red book on the bedside table, Kakashi puts it safely into his ninja bag.
'It's a collector's edition, I must keep it well.'
This inn gives the customer breakfast, so Kakashi went directly to the place where breakfast was served.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Jiraiya sitting in a corner having breakfast.
Seeing this, Kakashi walked over towards him.
"Jiraiya-sama."
"Oh, it's you Kakashi. You wake up a bit late today. Is it because you didn't sleep last night?"
Jilaiya said with a smile. His eyes seemed to be able to see through Kakashi.
Kakashi didn't care too much about Jiraiya's teasing. After all, he is the author of his favorite book. Even if he reads his novels all night, there's no need to feel shame.
After having breakfast together, they went to Naruto's room.
At this time, Naruto was lying quietly on the bed, and his skin has already returned to normal.
Kakashi couldn't help but sighed after seeing this, 'Kyuubi's regeneration is really amazing.'
'Such severe wound can be restored to this degree in just one night.'
"It seems that Naruto hasn't woken up yet. Jiraiya-sama, I have to go back first. I have just returned to Konoha so there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal in the Anbu. If I'm too late, I'm afraid that Tsunade-sama will get angry again. "
"Hahaha, Kakashi, seeing you like this make me remember why I don't want to stay in the village. It's too troublesome. Okay, you should go back quickly, otherwise you will get attacked by Tsunade's powerful punch." Jiraiya said with a smile.
"Thank you for your understanding, Jiraiya-sama."
Just as Kakashi wanted to use Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jiraiya asked.
"Jiraiya-sama, after Naruto wake up, please tell him that me, Sasuke, and Sakura are waiting for him in Konoha. One year later, I hope he can become much stronger. Also, tell him that Sasuke is almost ready to become a Jōnin." Kakashi said with a smile.
Jiraiya was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "You brat, you really are a good sensei. Don't worry, I will convey it to him."
Kakashi smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Jiraiya-sama, then, see you next time."
As soon as Kakashi's voice fell, Kakashi disappeared from there.
Seeing this, Jiraiya took a seat on the side, and it is unknown what he was thinking.
Not long after, Naruto woke up.
"Huh, why am I here?" Naruto said in daze.
"Naruto, are you finally awake?"
"Ero-Sennin? Why are you in my room? Are you peeking at me while I'm sleeping? Wah, what a pervert."
Naruto said, as he's holding up his quilt with a look of fear.
Hearing this, veins appeared on Jiraiya's forehead, and then he punched Naruto in the head.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Naruto screamed while clutching his head.
"Ahh! It hurts, Ero-Sennin, what are you doing!"
"Help you sober up so that you don't talk in sleep again." Jiraiya said naturally.
"Then you didn't need to punch that hard."
Naruto touched his head with a grudge on his face.
Jiraiya smiled when he saw this, 'Naruto is sometimes pretty cute.'
Suddenly, Naruto said, "That's right! Where's Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto said as he started to look around, but he didn't see the familiar figure.
"Stop searching, Kakashi has already left," Jiraiya said.
"Ah? Why did he leave so fast? We have just met again after a long time." Naruto said quite disappointedly.
"Well, he's already left, so it's useless to complain about it. Kakashi has left some message to you, do you want to hear it?"
Hearing this, Naruto suddenly turned energetic.
"Eh, what is it? I want to hear it!"
When Jiraiya saw this, he showed a wretched smile. Naruto has a bad feeling in his heart when he saw Jiraiya's smile.
'This perverted old man, did he want to…'
Sure enough, Jiraiya said wretchedly in the next second: "It's okay to tell you, but you have to become a beautiful woman. Only then will I tell you. Remember, it's beautiful woman with plump body."
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto's expression instantly became extremely helpless.
"Ero-Sennin, can't you ask something else?"
"Hey, Naruto, don't you want to know what Kakashi said?" Jiraiya smiled lecherously.
Hearing this, Naruto can only gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine, I'll do it!"
Both of his hands then formed hand seals!
"Oiroke no Jutsu!" (Sexy Technique)
Bang!
With a bang, a lot of smoke appeared, and immediately, a plump naked girl with yellow hair appeared in the room.
She showed an enchanting posture, and no normal adult male could resist it.
"Jiraiya-sama~ How is it~"
The girl said with a charming voice!
Her every move showed an intoxicating power!
Seeing this, Jiraiya's eyes lit up!
His saliva flowed down uncontrollably, and immediately, blood flowed out of his nostrils.
"100 points! No, it's 200 points!"
Jiraiya can't help but yelled.
"Jiraiya-sama ~What did Kakashi-sensei say~ Please tell me."
The yellow-haired girl put a finger on her mouth, and showed a sad expression.
"No…no problem! Kakashi said that he, Sasuke, and Sakura are waiting for Naruto in Konoha, and he hope that Naruto can become much stronger in a year, and that Sasuke and the others are almost ready to become a Jōnin."
The yellow-haired girl was taken aback when she heard this, and with a bang, the smoke appeared again.
"Nani! Sasuke and the others are about to become Jōnin? How come I am still Genin! No, I have to train harder, Ero-Sennin! Let's do the next training! I definitely can't lose to Sasuke!" Naruto yelled.
At this time, Jiraiya has not completely awake yet as his nosebleeds are still flowing, so Naruto's words fell into deaf ear.
"Ero-Sennin!" Naruto yelled again.
But Jiraiya still didn't respond.
"Damn! I can only do that technique!"
"Oiroke no Jutsu!" (Sexy Technique)
The yellow-haired girl appeared again, and Jiraiya directly reacted.
"Jiraiya-sama, please teach and train me again."
"Well, no problem. Beautiful lady, what do you want to learn?"
At this moment, the door of the room was opened.
"Hello, it's time for the room…"
The waiter hasn't finished speaking, and he couldn't speak anymore when he saw the scene in front of him.
"You…. what are you doing!"

Chapter 403 – Letter Of Challenge
The Land of Iron.
A handsome young man is wiping the sword in his hand.
The blade is silvery white and looked chilly.
At this time, a samurai came in and said respectfully to the young man: "Tetsuken-sama, the latest information about Konoha has arrived."
This young man is the Hokubu Tetsuken!
Hearing this, Tetsuken narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Speak."
Just one word made the samurai felt powerful pressure.
The samurai was shocked by this powerful aura and shook slightly.
"Tetsuken-sama, Konoha's Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi, has returned to Konoha a week ago."
Hearing this, Tetsuken's face showed a hint of excitement.
"Is the news reliable?"
"Yes, it's reliable!" answered the samurai.
"Good, you can go," Tetsuken said.
"Yes! Tetsuken-sama."
After samurai finished speaking, he got up and left.
In the courtyard, Tetsuken is alone again.
"Kakashi, you are finally back. Our six-year agreement has been overdue by two years now. It's time to end it." Tetsuken murmured.
Originally, Tetsuken went to Konoha to find Kakashi for a decisive battle two years ago, but unfortunately, Kakashi had just left Konoha at that time and went to Rōran.
Therefore, Tetsuken was unable to find him.
Originally, he wanted to go and find Kakashi, however, within the past two years, there was no news about Kakashi in the Shinobi World at all.
In desperation, Tetsuken had to give up searching and just waited for Kakashi's return in the Land of Iron.
It can be said that Tetsuken has become a very important person in the Land of Iron. Mifune also completely regards Tetsuken as the next leader of the Land of Iron, and spares no effort to teach Tetsuken.
In Mifune's view, Tetsuken right now has surpassed him.
Tetsuken also became the captain of the guards of the Land of Iron.
It should be known that this position is equivalent to Anbu Commander of Konoha.
Just when Tetsuken was excited, a person walked in.
"Tetsuken, why are you so happy?"
Tetsuken was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look. Seeing the person who came, he then respectfully said: "Mifune-sensei."
It was Mifune who came here.
Mifune has already accepted Tetsuken as his student, otherwise, how could he teach his own swordsmanship without reservation.
"Looking at your expression, it seems that Kakashi has returned to Konoha." said Mifune.
"Yes, Mifune-sensei, the agreement between me and Kakashi has been overdue for more than two years, so it is time to fulfill it."
Mifune sighed and said: "The sword has no eyes. Actually, I don't want you and Kakashi to have this kind of duel."
"Mifune-sensei, I have been waiting for this day for eight years. It has always occupied my mind. Either for me or my clan, this battle must be carried out." Tetsuken said seriously.
"Yeah, I knew it would be like this. Since you insist, I won't say anything anymore. But remember, you must come back alive. After all, I want you to become the next leader of the Land of Iron. I'm already old and can't hold this position for long anymore. "
At this time, Mifune is already 63 years old. He is no longer young, and his physical skills are gradually declining.
Tetsuken nodded solemnly and said: "Mifune-sensei, I won't let you down."
After Tetsuken finished speaking, his body released a terrifying sword intent.
Seeing this, Mifune couldn't help but shocked slightly.
'Tetsuken's talent is really terrifying. I didn't expect him to be this strong already. I wonder how strong Kakashi is right now.' Mifune have secretly thoughtin his heart.
Although he didn't know how strong Kakashi is, but if it is only about swordsmanship, Mifune believes that Tetsuken at this time is definitely not weaker than Kakashi.
A letter of challenge was sent from the Land of Iron to Konoha.
At this time, Kakashi didn't know that there was such a person thinking about him.
As for the so-called six-year agreement, Kakashi has actually forgotten about it.
After all, so many things have happened over the years, so Kakashi wasn't able to focus on this thing.
And originally, Kakashi does not want to fight against Tetsuken.
But what should come will come, some people will forget, some people will not.
Konoha, Uchiha Clan's residence.
Fugaku and Kakashi are sitting in the courtyard with a shogi board in front of them.
Kakashi moved his knight piece, forming a checkmate.
Fugaku smiled bitterly and said: "As expected of you Kakashi, I lost this round."
Kakashi smiled and said: "Fugaku-san, you have too many concerns, so you lose sight of some things."
"Haha, how could someone like me didn't have any concern?"
Hearing this, Kakashi picked up Fugaku's king piece, and said, "So, is Fugaku-san worried about his king?"
Fugaku's expression changed and turned rather serious, as he nodded and said: "Kakashi, I'm worried about Sasuke and Itachi."
"Are you worried about the future?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes, as you said, the enemy in the future is extremely terrifying. Then according to their personality, they will among the first to bear the brunt. As a father, I don't want to see this scene."
Kakashi put the king piece in the middle of the board and said: "Fugaku-san, there are some things that are beyond our control. Needless to say, Itachi has a personality that likes to carry everything on his own. Sasuke is not someone who will run easily. Their future will always go that way. That is inevitable. Moreover, even if they want to escape, others may not let them go."
Fugaku sighed and said: "I know. I have paid attention to the Akatsuki you mentioned in these past few years. They are very low-key, seemingly intentionally hiding themselves, so I can't get too much information about them. The twelve Uchiha Clan's members who have become the Twelve Guardian Shinobi also carry out full investigation about Akatsuki, but they did not find much clue. Instead, they lost two manpower."
Kakashi gently put on the two knight pieces at the corner and then said: "Fugaku-san, now is not the time to provoke the Akatsuki. Akatsuki's strength is really strong. If Konoha fight against it alone, the chance for us winning is only 50%, and even if we can win, I am afraid the losses will be too much. We should wait until the claws of the Akatsuki are exposed. At that time, we will able to unite the Five Great Shinobi Village."
"Is it really possible to unite the Five Great Shinobi Village?" Fugaku asked as he is skeptical about it.
The reason is very simple. After three Shinobi World War, there is too much hatred between the Five Great Shinobi Village.
How can this kind of hatred be so easy to eliminate.
If the hatred still remained, how can the Five Great Shinobi Village united together.
He felt that it is impossible.
How can it be so easy to explain things in the world. This is an opportunity and an opportunity. Perhaps, with this one enemy, the five great nations can be brought together. There are many things with the friendship of war. , It will become a lot easier
"Some things in this world are not easy to explain. This is a bad thing, but it is also an opportunity. Perhaps, with a common enemy, we can unite the Five Great Shinobi Village.. Maybe with this, it will become a lot easier for the hatred to disappear."

Chapter 404 – Hyuga Taiga
After leaving Fugaku's house, Kakashi returned to Anbu Base.
The meeting with Fugaku today was just to confirm something.
Futake, Itachi, and Sasuke will surely become the main force on the battlefield in the future.
Kakashi didn't know whether he could defeat Madara and Kaguya in the end. Therefore, Kakashi must ensure that Naruto and Sasuke have the strength they should have.
Sasuke right now lacked the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is easy, but the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan…
Should Itachi give his eyes to Sasuke?
No, Kakashi doesn't want that.
Itachi definitely far surpasses Sasuke in using Sharingan. If Itachi give his eyes to Sasuke, Itachi's strength would drop by a lot.
This is what Kakashi doesn't want to see.
So what about the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?
Kakashi sighed and stopped thinking about it. After all, it is still too early.
He still needs to wait for Sasuke to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan.
In the courtyard, Fugaku looks at the shogi board in front of me with a thoughtful expression.
Kakashi's words brought a big impact on Fugaku.
This boy who was originally hated by the Uchiha Clan because of the Sharingan has now has grown to this point.
Strength, status, and even his vision seem to far surpass Fugaku.
Fugaku can't see through what Kakashi is going to do.
But what Fugaku is certain is that he can't see any slightest ambition for power in Kakashi.
"Hatake Kakashi, what kind of person are you?" Fugaku sighed and clean up the shogi board.
'What will happen in the future?'
At the Anbu Base, Kakashi looks at the fox mask in front of him.
This was something that his teacher, Minato gave to him when he first joined Anbu.
It's just that the things are still there, but the people are gone.
Gently putting it on his face, Kakashi started his job in Anbu.
"Commander!"
A man wearing a tiger mask walked into Kakashi's office and exclaimed respectfully.
"Oh, it's you Taiga. What's the matter?" Kakashi asked.
Hyuga Taiga then said: "Commander, the information just arrived. Recently, there are riots in Konoha's prison, and there have been many dead prisoners."
"Oh? Who did it?" Kakashi asked.
"It is Fūjin and Raijin."
"Those two? Are those two foodies not eating enough recently?" Kakashi said helplessly.
Fūjin and Raijin are brothers, and they are also Konoha's Shinobi.
However, these two civilian Shinobi once killed their companions because they had no food to eat during the mission.
After Tsunade knew about it, she immediately captured the two and sent them to Konoha's prison.
The strength of these two people is extremely powerful, and their strength is only below Tsunade can use Chakra Enhanced Strength.
Sakura and Karin right now are still not as strong as them.
These two are strong, but they have a fatal weakness. They are very dumb.
As long as there is food, they will be very quiet. In the original work, Mizuki lure them with food to help him escape from prison.
That's why these two are called Legendary Stupid Brothers.
But, once annoyed, their punches are very terrifying.
"No, their food is custom-made, so there is no worry of them not getting enough food. After all, the guards of the prison also know that the strength of these two is so strong that if they don't feed them enough, it will only take a few minutes for them to escape." Said Hyuga Taiga rather helplessly.
These two idiots can be said to be the most troublesome prisoner in Konoha's prison.
Although they can be dismissed as long as they are given food, once they are not given enough, these two will look like they are going to rebel.
"What's the problem then?" Kakashi wondered.
"We don't know. These two suddenly became very strange. In addition to some prisoners who were killed by them, some of the guard was also injured." Hyuga Taiga said.
"Oh? Let's go and see." Kakashi said as he is a little interested.
"Yes, commander." Hyuga Taiga said as he nodded slightly.
The two then walked towards Konoha's prison together.
On the way, Kakashi looked at the forehead protecter on Hyuga Taiga's forehead, and said, "Taiga, how is your Caged Bird Cursed Seal now?"
Hyuga Taiga was taken aback by Kakashi's question, and then said: "Thank you for worrying me, commander. The Caged Bird Cursed Seal is still the same, nothing has changes."
"Really? It seems that the previous method is not working. Don't worry, I will think of another ways," Kakashi said.
Hearing this, Hyuga Taiga was very moved, and respects Kakashi even more.
"Thank you, commander." Hyuga Taiga said.
Kakashi waved his hand and said, "This is what I promised you. So naturally, I will do it, and Hiashi-san has agreed to this."
"It's all thanks to commander. Otherwise, Clan Head will never agree about it."
The Caged Bird Cursed Seal is one of the important methods to protect the Byakugan.
The Hyuga Clan has a long history, and the formidable power of Byakugan has made a lot of people to remember it.
In order to prevent the Byakugan to fell into outsider, the Caged Bird Cursed Seal was created.
The Hyuga Clan is divided into two, becoming the main house and the branch house.
There are only a few people in the main house, and the rest are from the branch house. The branch house has the obligation to protect the main house's members. Once the branch house's members try to rebel, the main house's members will activate their Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
When a member from the branch house is dead, the Caged Bird Cursed Seal will disappear, and at the same time, the Byakugan will be destroyed.
At this time, the member of the main house is only Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hanabi, Hyuga Hinata and a few others.
It is precisely because of this method that there are not many Byakugan fell into outsider's hands. And for so many years, only Kirigakure's Ao was able to get one.
It's just that the appearance of this Caged Bird Cursed Seal also makes it very difficult for Kage-level expert to appear in the Hyuga Clan.
For the member of the branch house, it is difficult for them to achieve Kage-level strength.
Because the Caged Bird Cursed Seal will hinder their progress and they will get stuck on the bottleneck.
As for the member of the main house, not every one of them has the talent to reach Kage-level strength.
But the Hyuga Taiga is different. Hyuga Taiga's talent is very good. He was able to forcibly breakthrough the limit caused by the Caged Bird Cursed Seal and almost reached Kage-level strength!
Of course, this is also thanks to Kakashi's guidance.
However, in order to get stronger, Hyuga Taiga must remove the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, otherwise, it will be impossible for him to reach Kage-level strength.
At this time, the Hyuga Taiga is only twenty-two years old, and he has enough potential to reach Kage-level strength.
How strong is Byakugan that is called one of the Three Great Dōjutsu like Sharingan and Rinnegan?
Kakashi wants to see the answer in Hyuga Taiga.
At the same time, if Caged Bird Cursed Seal can be removed, Kakashi doesn't mind lifting Neji's seal.
After all, Neji's talent may be as good as Sasuke's.
Kakashi knew that Konoha's future will depends on the strength of these people.
Originally, Hyuga Hiashi disagreed with Kakashi to study Hyuga Taiga's Caged Bird Cursed Seal, however, after Kakashi said one thing, Hiashi agreed.
That is Fugaku has Mangekyō Sharingan.
As the Clan Head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi naturally knows how strong Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan is.
With the Uchiha Clan having such a character, and the Hyuga Clan didn't have any top-level expert, it makes Hyuga Hiashi feel a sense of crisis.
Therefore, Hyuga Hiashi allowed Kakashi to study Hyuga Taiga's Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
After all, there is no way to remove the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, even in the main house's record.
Of course, Hyuga Hiashi's real purpose is actually to remove Neji's Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
After all, compared to Hyuga Taiga, Hyuga Hiashi has deeper relationship with Neji.
Moreover, Hyuga Hiashi also believes that with Neji's talent, he can definitely surpass the ancestors of the Hyuga Clan.. At that time, the Hyuga Clan will be able to maintain the same status with the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 405 – Konoha's Prison
Konoha's prison is located below the Anbu Base and it is made of extremely strong material.
Konoha's Shinobi criminal are being held here and there are also some spies from another village who are mixed in here.
Everyone here is wearing heavy handcuffs and legcuffs.
Two years ago, there was a big riot in these. After it was suppressed, the supervision of these prisoners became stricter.
"Riot?" Kakashi said with a puzzled look.
Hyuga Taiga then said: "Yes, commander, speaking of it, this matter has something to do with you."
"Oh? It has something to do with me? Can you tell me about it?" Kakashi curiously asked.
"Yes, two years ago, shortly after you left, the Chunin teacher from the Academy, Mizuki who was sent to the Konoha's prison used food to instigate Fūjin and Raijin to launch a riot together. He wanted to escape from Konoha and follow Orochimaru. However, before he was able to leave Konoha's territory, he was stopped by Uzumaki Naruto and Umino Iruka. Tsunade-sama also personally took action and subdued Fūjin and Raijin herself."
"So it's like that. This Mizuki is still up to no good even after get into prison." Kakashi shook his head and said.
"Yes, that incident also let Tsunade-sama know about the shoddy management of Konoha's prison. Because of that, the supervision of Konoha's prison has been strengthened," said the Hyuga Taiga.
"Well, that is a good thing. Then Mizuki was caught again?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes, Mizuki seems to have taken a special performance enhancing drug and lost a lot of his vitality. Although Tsunade-sama took action, Mizuki is only able to hold his life now. His body has completely aged and he has turned into an old man."
"Oh? I didn't expect Mizuki to have the ability to make a special performance enhancing drug like that." Kakashi was surprised.
"No, commander, the formula of that drug seems to be a semi-finished product researched by Orochimaru. No one knows how it got into Mizuki's hands. And Mizuki seemed to only know that the potion can increase strength, and didn't know that it would consume his vitality."
"So it's like that. This Mizuki is an idiot." Kakashi chuckled lightly.
Kakashi's evaluation of someone like Mizuki is very low.
He has ambitions, but he didn't have the corresponding strength, not even the relative means and wisdom.
It would be a crazy if such a person can succeed.
Soon, the two arrived at Konoha's prison.
At this time, Fūjin and Raijin were confronting several Shinobi in the open space in the prison.
"It seems that we arrive at the right time. These two guys are starting to make trouble again," Kakashi said.
Kakashi then saw that in the open space in the prison, Fūjin and Raijin are roaring.
"We want to eat! Eat!"
An Anbu then yelled: "Didn't we already give you two foods before?"
"Not enough, not enough! We want to eat something more delicious!" shouted Raijin.
"Yes! There are obviously more delicious things in the prison, why don't you feed us those!" Fūjin growled.
"Damn it, what are the nerves of these two made of? How can they ask for more food in prison?" Anbu murmured.
" Hurry up and give it to us! Otherwise, we will hit someone!" Fūjin shouted.
"Yes, nii-san is right!" Raijin yelled.
"Damn it. If these two rampaged, it is going to be a big problem." Anbu whispered.
At this time, a hand was placed on the shoulder of the Anbu.
"You have worked hard. Leave the rest to me."
Hearing this, the Anbu was taken aback, 'This voice is…'
Looking back, he then saw the familiar figure and hair color.
"Commander!" the Anbu was shocked.
Kakashi nodded and looked at Fūjin and Raijin in front of him.
These two people are very tall. It seems that their heights are more than two meters, and with such a strong body, they look like a mountain.
Just by their appearance, people would know how powerful these two people are.
Unfortunately, the combined IQs of these two are not even reaching 80.
"Who are you? Can you give us that kind of food?" Fūjin shouted.
"That kind of food? What do you mean?" Kakashi asked.
"It's a very fragrant food. Just by smelling the smell, we know that it must be very delicious! Isn't that right, Raijin?" Fūjin asked.
"Nii-san is right." Raijin agreed in what his brother said.
Hearing this, Kakashi frowned slightly. After all, with what these two explained, no one would know what they are talking about.
"If you don't give it us, we will hit you!" Fūjin shouted.
"Kakashi-sama, stop talking with them. Please let me take action to subdue them." Hyuga Taiga said respectfully.
Kakashi nodded as he saw the emotions of the two idiots in front of him seemed a little unstable. He understands that instead of wasting time talking with them, it is better to subdue them first before asking again. Perhaps the effect will be better.
With Kakashi's permission, Hyuga Taiga naturally started taking action.
After taking a step forward, he looked at the two while showing a disdainful expression.
"Fūjin and Raijin, you two should be quite. This is not a place where you can make trouble." Hyuga Taiga said.
"Who are you! So noisy! Raijin, let's kill him." Fūjin said.
"Okay, nii-san, I just want to hit someone." Raijin answered.
"Then let's do it together, Raijin."
"Okay, nii-san."
After Fūjin and Raijin finished speaking, they run towards Hyuga Taiga while throwing punches towards Hyuga Taiga.
Hyuga Taiga didn't care about their punches and muttered softly: "You have entered my Eight Trigram Field."
After Hyuga Taiga finished speaking, an Eight Trigram Symbol with him as its center appeared and diverged into all directions.
Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, and secretly thought: 'After not seeing him for two years, Hyuga Taiga has become a lot stronger. However, this Caged Bird Cursed Seal is really restricting him. It seems that I must find a solution to it as soon as possible. With that, we would be able to gain another top-level expert."
Not knowing what Kakashi is thinking right now, Hyuga Taiga puts on a weird stance and said softly: "Hakke Hyaku Nijūhasshō!" (Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms)
In an instant, Hyuga Taiga turned into an afterimage, and moved freely within the Eight Trigrams Field.
Fūjin and Raijin only feel that their bodies were constantly being hit, but they couldn't see where the attacker is at all and only heard the voice kept echoing in their ears.
"Two palms, four palms, eight palms, sixteen palms, thirty two palms! Sixty four palms! One hundred twenty eight palms!"
Bang!
With the last words, the huge bodies of Fūjin and Raijin fell to the ground.
"Argh! It hurts, I completely lose my strength, Raijin." Fengshen screamed.
"Yeah, nii-san, me too." Raijin screamed similarly.
Hyuga Taiga then moved back.
The Anbu who is on the side was already stunned.
"Is that person, Hyuga Taiga? Such a powerful Gentle Fist. Even the Fūjin and Raijin were knocked down in an instant."
"I heard that the commander is the strongest. I originally thought that it was exaggerated, but seeing this now, it seems that it should be true."
"It's terrifying."
Hyuga Taiga turned a deaf ear to these comments and silently returned to Kakashi's side.
"Commander, I have completed the task."
"Good Work."
Kakashi said softly, and then stood in front of Fūjin and Raijin, and said: "Have you two calmed down? Now, can you tell me what exactly are you talking about?"
Fūjin and Raijin's Chakra were sealed by Hyuga Taiga, so their minds became clearer.
Fūjin said: "I don't know. I just smelled the delicious smell is coming from Mizuki-san's room."
"Mizuki?"
Chapter 406 – Mizuki's Secret?
Hearing this, Kakashi was taken aback for a moment. 'Why does this fellow Mizuki mentioned here? Didn't he already become an old man?'
'Is this Mizuki still hiding some secrets?'
Kakashi felt that something is a bit strange.
"I want you guys to send Fūjin and Raijin back to their cells. Hungry them for two days. If something similar happens again, make it for three days." Kakashi ordered.
"Yes!"
"You bastard! You actually want to reduce our food! We won't tolerate it!" Fūjin said angrily.
"Nii-san, let's kill him!" shouted Raijin.
Kakashi sneered, and his powerful aura exploded in an instant.
Like a terrifying tsunami, Kakashi's powerful aura directly pressured Fūjin and Raijin.
In just an instant, the pressure of powerful aura made the two almost breathless.
"Nii-san…this guy… is so strong." Raijin said with difficulty.
"Yeah…Raijin … he's more terrifying than Tsunade nee-san…." Fūjin was also under tremendous pressure.
Kakashi looked at them coldly, and said: "The criminal will get the criminal treatment! The next time this happen, it won't be that simple. If you still want to enjoy eating food, you two should stay obediently!"
Although Fūjin and Raijin have a great nerve, they still have a clear understanding of the word 'danger'.
They could feel that Kakashi was definitely not joking.
If they really provoke the man with the fox mask in front of them again, they knew that they will definitely end badly.
The Anbu present was also shocked by Kakashi's terrifying aura.
Fortunately, Kakashi didn't aim it at them, so they didn't receive the full brunt like Fūjin and Raijin.
Hyuga Taiga looked at Kakashi with a fanatical look.
'This is the strength of commander! As expected of the man who I am determined to follow for my life!'
Since Kakashi saved the Hyuga Taiga, Hyuga Taiga has vowed in his heart that he will become Kakashi's most loyal supporter.
Hyuga Taiga is someone from the branch house so he was actually not taken seriously in the Hyuga Clan.
His talent is indeed very good, but because he is from the branch house, he won't get good guidance. At best, he would only reach Jōnin-level strength.
Hyuga Taiga is not willing to only reach that far, so he joined Anbu.
And fortunately, he became Kakashi's subordinate.
Kakashi has never been stingy with his subordinates. As long as he can help and teach them, he would do it without any reservations.
However, this is the reason why Hyuga Taiga really grateful to Kakashi.
The real reason Hyuga Taiga really admired Kakashi is because of what happened in a mission.
It was a rainy night…
Hyuga Taiga clutched his chest, there was a stab wound with blood flowing!
Kakashi is standing beside the Hyuga Taiga.
"Captain, just go first, I won't make it. Don't let me drag you down," Hyuga Taiga said as he looked at Kakashi.
Instead of paying attention to Hyuga Taiga's words, Kakashi walked over to Hyuga Taiga and looked at Hyuga Taiga's injury. He then said: "The wound is very deep. It seems that you won't be able to use Chakra for the time being."
"Sorry, Captain, for dragging you down. This mission is very important. You should go as soon as possible, and wait for the enemy to come up," Hyuga Taiga said.
Kakashi did not speak, and directly carried Hyuga Taiga on his back.
Hyuga Taiga was shocked and quickly said, "Captain, what are you doing?"
Kakashi smiled and said: "Taiga, as long as I'm not dead, I will never give up my companion!"
Hearing this, Hyuga Taiga was taken aback and said: "Captain …"
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, I don't care about those people, they can't stop me. I will definitely save you and complete the mission!"
Kakashi said, a cold glint flashed in his eye, and then he looked behind.
In a few moments, dozens of Shinobi surrounded Kakashi.
"Konoha's Hatake Kakashi? I didn't expect it to be you. It is a big fish." The Shinobi who took the lead said excitedly.
"Unfortunately, this fish is not something you can eat."
"You sure are arrogant. With a seriously injured person on your back, you still want to escape? Ridiculous." Take the leading Shinobi mocked.
"No, you made a mistake." Kakashi said while chuckling slightly.
"What?"
"I don't need the word 'escape' to deal with people like you. When you all surround me, you have chosen death." Kakashi said coldly.
"Arrogant!" the leading Shinobi shouted coldly.
"In this World, there are always people who overestimate one's capabilities…" Kakashi said with complicated emotion.
In the next moment, Hyuga Taiga saw a scene that he will never forget.
In an instant, dozens of Shinobi who were surrounding them all died in Kakashi's hands.
Hyuga Taiga can't even see how Kakashi do it.
"Taiga, look, I already said that they can't stop us."
Kakashi smiled and said. In the rainy night, his smile was like the most brilliant sun to Hyuga Taiga.
Hyuga Taiga looks at Kakashi in a trance, forgetting the pain in his chest for a while.
At that moment, Hyuga Taiga not only realized the feeling of being valued by others, but was also conquered by Kakashi's charisma.
Therefore, Hyuga Taiga became Kakashi's most staunch supporter.
When Kakashi left Konoha two years ago, Hyuga Taiga had always suspected that Tsunade was the one who drive away Kakashi.
So that something unpleasant happened.
Fortunately, Kakashi came back, and Hyuga Taiga knew that it was his own misunderstanding, so he stopped.
The memory ended in Hyuga Taiga's mind. Looking at Kakashi's back in front of him, Hyuga Taiga strengthened his thoughts.
'Commander is already so strong, I must become stronger so that I can keep up with commander's pace and help him.'
Hyuga Taiga secretly thought in his heart.
"Taiga."
At this moment, Kakashi called out suddenly.
Hearing this, Hyuga Taiga immediately replied: "Yes, commander."
"Take me to Mizuki's cell. I want to see what the hell is this guy doing."
"Yes! Commander!" said Hyuga Taiga.
He then led Kakashi to another room.
Fūjin and Raijin were taken down by other Anbu.
Their accupoints have been closed by Hyuga Taiga, and they were also pressured Kakashi's powerful aura, so the two did not resist at all.
After walking for a while, Hyuga Taiga stopped. He then pointed at one of the cells and said: "Commander, Mizuki has lost a lot of his vitality. Although his life is saved, he can no longer become a Shinobi. He is judged to be the least threatening D-rank criminal, so he's locked here."
Hearing this, Kakashi looks at the cell.
Through the dark iron railings, Kakashi clearly saw a gray-haired man lying on the bed.
The man's face is full of wrinkles.
This person is Mizuki!
Chapter 407 – Tsubaki
"Open the door," Kakashi said.
"Yes, commander."
Hearing this, Hyuga Taiga inserted the prepared key into the cell's keyhole.
With a creaking sound, the iron cell door slowly opened.
The sound is not loud, but in the empty prison, it seemed very abrupt.
Hearing the sound, Mizuki, who seemed to be sleeping, raised his head and looked at the door.
Seeing Kakashi, Mizuki was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect to see this famous Shinobi here.
"Hey, Mizuki."
"Kakashi-sama? Why did you come here?" Mizuki said as tried to sit up from the bed.
Although he already had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, it did not affect his actions.
At least, there is no big problem to move like a normal person.
Mizuki and Kakashi have never met like this before, so Kakashi didn't know much about Mizuki.
Most of his impression of Mizuki comes from the original work, as well as the information on the Anbu.
But Mizuki has long heard of Kakashi.
After all, Kakashi is very famous and the reason Mizuki entered the prison is also because of Kakashi's student, Naruto Uzumaki.
"I'm just curious, so I come here and take a look. I didn't expect that you are also one of Orochimaru's abandoned subordinates. It is really interesting." Kakashi said with a smile.
Originally, Kakashi thought Mizuki was just a person who yearned for Orochimaru unilaterally.
But seeing the current situation, he knew Mizuki has met Orochimaru before, and he even got another alternative Cursed Seal from Orochimaru's hands.
Or, it is Orochimaru's most crude Cursed Seal.
Hearing Kakashi's words, Mizuki's expression turned ugly.
After all, being abandoned is not a glorious thing.
"Kakashi-sama, if you just come here to ridicule me, your reputation would go down." Mizuki sneered.
"Don't worry, I'm not that bored. I just come here to confirm something," Kakashi said.
"What?"
Mizuki was taken aback. Before Mizuki could react, Kakashi's hand was already pressed on Mizuki's body.
A huge force pressed on Mizuki's shoulder, making him unable to move, and even could not speak.
Hyuga Taiga didn't understand what is going on at this moment. 'What does commander want to do with this guy? Is there any value in this guy?'
However, Hyuga Taiga obviously will not ask these questions.
In his eyes, as long as it is done by Kakashi, it is right.
At this time, a young and beautiful woman arrived in Mizuki's cell.
The woman was carrying a rice box and it seemed she has come here to visit Mizuki.
Seeing that Mizuki was restrained by Kakashi, the woman was shocked.
"What are you doing!"
As she said that, the woman rushed over, trying to stop Kakashi.
But with the Hyuga Taiga here, how could this woman succeed.
Hyuga Taiga attacked one of the woman's tenkketsu points, making her drop down.
The lunch box in her hand also fell on the ground, and in a flash, a fragrance spread out.
"It is forbidden to obstruct Anbu's work." Hyuga Taiga said coldly.
"What!"
After hearing this, the woman finally realizes that Kakashi and Hyuga Taiga are indeed wearing Anbu's uniform, 'But why did they come for Mizuki?'
The woman's eyes were full of anxiety and she shouted: "What do you want to do with Mizuki? Mizuki is already an ordinary person."
The woman said with a hint of crying. If an average person sees such a scene, they would be already feeling bad at this moment.
Unfortunately, this woman met Hyuga Taiga.
This guy didn't pity this woman at all, so he doesn't feel bad at all.
But at this time, Kakashi retracted his Chakra.
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to Mizuki. I just wanted to confirm something. So, who are you? Why are you here?" Kakashi asked.
As soon as Kakashi retracted his Chakra, Mizuki regained his mobility.
Hyuga Taiga said: "Commander, this woman is Tsubaki, Mizuki's fiancée. She came here to look after Mizuki every day."
"Commander?" Hearing Hyuga Taiga's words, Tsubaki was shocked. She obviously did not think that the identity of the person in front of her is so high.
Hearing this, Kakashi looked at Tsubaki thoughtfully. He couldn't think that someone like Mizuki would have such a person who so infatuated with him, and was willing to come here and take care of him every day.
Sure enough, the power of love is really great.
Kakashi picked up the lunch box Tsubaki had dropped on the floor, and the the fragrance became more intense.
Kakashi looked inside, and saw that it was actually ramen from Ichiraku.
'So, is this the so-called delicacy that Fūjin and Raijin said?'
Kakashi smiled secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that ramen from Ichiraku would be so tempting now.
And this ramen seems to be the Seafood Catfish Noodles that was originally created by him.
'Such a taste is indeed tempting.'
These thoughts flashed through Kakashi's mind, and then, he handed the lunch box to Tsubaki, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Tsubaki, right? Sorry to make you drop your lunch box. Mizuki is fine, so don't worry. Taiga, let's go."
"Yes!" Hyuga Taiga replied.
The two left immediately, and then Tsubaki got up quickly.
Hyuga Taiga did not use much power in his attack, so Tsubaki was only temporarily paralyzed and it did not cause any damage to her body.
After all, this is Konoha. Those who come are all companions from the same village, so it is bad if he is ruthless.
Tsubaki hurriedly ran to Mizuki's side and whispered: "Mizuki, are you okay?"
Mizuki has already recovered at this time and said coldly: "I'm okay, but I don't know what Kakashi has done to me."
"It's fine as long as you're okay. Come on, let's eat, this is the ramen from Ichiraku I bought for you. Fortunately, although the soup was spilled a little, the ramen is still okay." Tsubaki said softly.
Seeing this, Mizuki felt his heart softened.
Mizuki felt he is really lucky to have such a fiancée.
Even if he did something bad to her before, she still didn't leave him.
"Tsubaki, my body will only be able to hold on up to five years. You don't have to wait for me anymore. Find a good man to marry. I think Iruka is good." Mizuki muttered. His white long hair blocked his face, making people unable to see his expression.
Hearing this, Tsubaki smiled and shook her head, and then, she said: "Mizuki, I have decided to be with you in this life. Even if you only have five years of life left, I will always guard you and will never change. As for Iruka, I only regard him as a friend. So don't say anything like that anymore. Come on, let's eat."
Mizuki's heart twitched fiercely. For a while, he didn't know what to say.
Looking at the steaming noodles in front of me, tears flowed silently.
Tsubaki didn't notice it because Mizuki's face is blocked by his long hair.
"Mizuki…" Seeing Mizuki did not move, Tsubaki could not help but call.
"I'm okay, Tsubaki, thank you."
Mizuki said as he took the bowl of ramen, and then, he ate it all in just a few bites.
People would only understand the goodness they once had when they are at the end of their lives.

Chapter 408 – Abandoned Research
After Kakashi walked out of Mizuki's cell, he called Anbu not far away and said: "After Fūjin and Raijin's punishment are over, you will add a bowl of ramen from Ichiraku to their menu every day, so that they should stop rampaging."
That Anbu is a little bit confused after hearing this, but if Kakashi said so, he naturally would not object.
"Yes! Commander."
"Good, you can go," Kakashi said.
Hearing this, the Anbu left silently.
Kakashi then said to Hyuga Taiga who is on his side: "Taiga, did you guys find Orochimaru's abandoned laboratory when you caught Mizuki?"
"Yes, we found one commander."
"Where is the laboratory's information?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes and asked.
If Kakashi asked someone else, maybe they wouldn't know about it.
But Hyuga Taiga was responsible for this matter at the beginning, so he must knew it very well.
"In the Anbu's archives."
"Is that so? Then, come with me," Kakashi said.
"Yes, commander."
Hyuga Taiga said as he followed behind Kakashi.
Anbu's archive contains a lot of information the Anbu got.
In addition to Hokage, only the Anbu Commander has the power to take a look at the archives arbitrarily.
Others, without permission, are not allowed to take a lot at it.
Even the elder councils can't do it.
The two walked for a while, and soon arrive at the front of a heavy door.
"Commander, the laboratory's information is inside."
Hyuga Tora said, turning his head to the other side to avoid suspicion.
Kakashi then looked at the heavy door. He formed hand seals with his hands and then his right hand on the talisman at the door.
This door is not opened with a key, but requires some secret Chakra movement to open.
With a click, the door opened.
"Commander, the laboratory's information was placed in the tenth bookshelf, in the seventh file on the third row." Hyuga Taiga said.
"Okay, I'll go in and take a look. I want you to stay here to guard," Kakashi said.
"Yes, commander!"
Hyuga Taiga stood at the door diligently, while Kakashi walked into the archives room.
"It's been a long time since I came here." Kakashi said with a smile.
The last time he came to this archives room, he was investigating the cause of his father's death.
'Mizuki does have the phenomenon of using vitality to increase strength, making him lost his vitality. In that case, Orochimaru may have studied how to extract vitality. Perhaps it was something he got when studying Hashirama's cells.'
Kakashi secretly thought in his heart. This is the reason why he had to confirm the situation in Mizuki's body before.
According to Kakashi's observation, the reason why Mizuki's vitality disappeared was because it was forcibly consumed by that drug.
It is precisely because of this that even Tsunade can't heal him and restore him back to his original state.
If it is about Medical Ninjutsu, Orochimaru is naturally unable to catch up with Tsunade.
But when it comes to experimenting, even ten Tsunade is not as good as Orochimaru.
After all, Orochimaru is the best scientist in Naruto World.
'The Cursed Seal on Mizuki's body is also very strange. It stands to reason that Mizuki's talent is so poor, and Orochimaru must have absolutely looks down on him, so how can he give him a Cursed Seal? Even if that is the most shabby Cursed Seal.'
Kakashi couldn't figure it out, that's why he came here to look at the laboratory's information.
With the location he got from Hyuga Taiga, Kakashi quickly got what he wanted.
There is a layer of dust on the file.
After all, it has been here for nearly two years, so it is normal for it to get dusty.
Sweeping away the dust on the surface, Kakashi took a look at the information inside.
Part of this information was originally obtained by Mizuki from Orochimaru's abandoned laboratory, and part of it was discovered by Anbu in that laboratory.
Another part is Tsunade's summary of Mizuki condition after taking the drug.
The more Kakashi looked at it, the tighter his brows frowned.
After a long time, Kakashi closed the file and fell into thought.
'Sure enough, Orochimaru has studied the issue of vitality potential.'
The file recorded that a note that Orochimaru had not had time to take away was found in the laboratory.
The note clearly records a failed experiment of Orochimaru.
After obtaining Hashirama's cells, Orochimaru discovered the enormous vitality Hashirama's cells possessed.
And it is this vitality that made Senju Hashirama possessed a Sage Body that is different from ordinary people.
After Orochimaru came to this conclusion, he was so excited that he even put aside experimenting Hashirama's cells and conducted research on vitality.
But it is a pity that after researching, Orochimaru found that vitality is extremely difficult to control.
The most intuitive display of vitality is Hashirama's cells.
Because no one has a greater vitality than Senju Hashirama.
In the course of this experiment, a failed experiment appeared, which was the Cursed Seal on Mizuki's body.
It was from this experiment that Orochimaru got the inspiration to create the Cursed Seal.
The Cursed Seal was originally created by Orochimaru to alleviate the problem of vitality consumption.
But after it was created, Orochimaru found that the Senjutsu Chakra possessed by the Cursed Seal could actually alleviate the vitality consumption, but if it wants to completely offset it, it is still not enough.
Senjutsu Chakra is the highest rank of energy that Orochimaru can master.
In Orochimaru's view, Natural Energy and vitality are two very similar things, and there is the possibility of them offsetting each other.
But the Senjutsu Chakra formed by Orochimaru's Natural Energy is still a little worse than the vitality.
So in desperation, Orochimaru gave up the idea.
However, Orochimaru's experiment was not entirely without gain, after all, he was able to create the Cursed Seal.
However, Kakashi was surprised when he saw this.
'Vitality?'
'Creating life?'
'Isn't that Yin–Yang Release?'
'It's no wonder that Orochimaru fail, after all, even if Senjutsu Chakra is a better than normal Chakra, it is still a little worse than the Yin–Yang Release.
"I didn't expect Orochimaru would once study Yin–Yang Release. As expected of a genius. "
Kakashi murmured, and then put the file back on the shelf.
But at this time, Kakashi suddenly thought of something.
"Yin–Yang Release? Senjutsu Chakra? That's right, I remember that Katsuyu-sama once said that the fusion of Three Great Senjutsu will produce create terrifying power, could it be…"
Kakashi then remembered his silver-white Senjutsu Chakra.
'No, no, the Yin–Yang Release is something that maximizes the Physical Energy and Spiritual Energy, and has nothing to do with Natural Energy.'
Kakashi counter argue himself.
"Then, what is the truth?"
Report chapter
Chapter 409 – Removing The Caged Bird Cursed Seal
Pain's black rod is something created with the Yin–Yang Release, and it is just a function the Rinnegan comes with. The Yin–Yang Release, the Yin and Yang attributes, and the Yin and Yang Powers are different.
The Yin and Yang attributes is similar to the five main attribute which are Wind, Earth, Fire, Water and Lightning. Although Yin and Yang attributes are somewhat special, they do not exceed this category.
The Yin and Yang attributes is not mysterious and many Shinobi have this attribute.
For example, almost all Genjutsu need Yin Chakra attribute to use. Uchiha Clan's Sharingan and Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique also use Yin Chakra attribute.
Another example is the Akimichi Clan's Multi-Size Technique which uses Yang Chakra attribute.
This is the Yin and Yang attributes.
The Ninjutsu that needed Yin and Yang attributes is the Yin Release and Yang Release.
Yin–Yang Release is different. Yin–Yang Release is a Ninjutsu that combines Yin Release and Yang Release.
The Yin–Yang Release is formed by combining the Yin Chakra attribute and the Yang Chakra attribute.
And the difficulty of combining these two attributes is even more difficult than creating Kekkei Genkai.
After all, Yin–Yang Release is Ninjutsu that can create life.
As for the Yin and Yang Powers, it was the ability that the Sage of Six Paths gave to Naruto and Sasuke to seal Otsutsuki Kaguya. After the seal was used, it completely disappeared and ceased to exist.
"Yin–Yang Release? I am afraid it is not so easy to practice as there is no specific method."
Kakashi muttered.
One of the Yin–Yang Release that appeared in the original work was derived from Madara's Rinnegan.
One was obtained by Naruto from the Sage of Six Paths.
The last one is to become Juubi's Jinchūriki. That way, the Yin–Yang Release is no longer a problem.
No matter which one it is, it can't be obtained by conventional means.
Therefore, it is almost impossible if Kakashi wants to get the Yin–Yang Release.
Yin–Yang Release was something Kakashi just remembered accidentally when he saw Orochimaru's research data. So he can only suppress it temporarily.
Kakashi already possesses all of the seven attributes including Yin and Yang Chakra attributes. Coupled with unlimited possibilities, Yin–Yang Release may be impossible for him now, but in the future, he may be able to get it.
"It seems that this research doesn't have much value. No wonder Orochimaru give it up in the end," Kakashi murmured.
Just as Kakashi was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
'Senjutsu Chakra? That's right! Maybe Senjutsu Chakra can come in handy!'
Kakashi secretly thought in his heart as he found an idea about Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
'Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird Cursed Seal use the Yin Chakra to block the entire brain, especially the optic nerve. Once an external force interferes, it will have a huge reaction. But if a higher-level Chakra intervenes, there may be different effects.'
Kakashi secretly thought about the new idea to remove the Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
Normal Senjutsu Chakra may not be able to suppress the Yin Attribute Chakra in the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, but Kakashi's Senjutsu Chakra may be able to do it.
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra is formed by the fusion of Three Great Senjutsu and Kakashi has not yet fully mastered it. But through the previous use, Kakashi knows that the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra is much stronger than the normal Senjutsu Chakra.
If the normal Senjutsu Chakra is one rank higher than the normal Chakra, then the silver-white Chakra is two ranks higher than the normal Chakra.
If he uses it, he might be able to suppress the Caged Bird Cursed Seal with absolute advantage.
Once the Yin Chakra in the Caged Bird Cursed Seal Bird is suppressed, it will become possible to remove the Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
"This method is worth a try, but the risk is not small, it requires careful operation."
Kakashi muttered to himself and walked out of the archives room.
"Commander."
Seeing Kakashi coming out, Hyuga Taiga said respectfully.
"Taiga, there is something I have to discuss with you," Kakashi said.
"Please say it, Commander," said Hyuga Taiga.
"I just got some inspiration from Orochimaru's experiment data, and thought of a way that may be able to remove the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, but there are some risks, would you like to try it?" Kakashi asked.
Hearing this, Hyuga Taiga didn't show emotional fluctuations. These days, Kakashi has already experimented many methods on Hyuga Taiga. Although there is no effect, but there is also no damage.
"I believe in you, Commander."
"Good, then let's go to the secret room," Kakashi said.
The two then went to a secret room in Anbu Base.
This secret room is actually used to confine Anbu's member who was punished. It is very quiet so there is no need to worry about being disturbed.
Sitting cross-legged, Hyuga Taiga released the forehead protector on his head, revealing the green Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
The Caged Bird Cursed Seal is a green cross in the middle of the forehead, with two green lines that are almost connected to the green cross, running through the entire forehead.
This is a shame for the branch house member, but it is also a means of self-protection by the Hyuga Clan.
The Hyuga Clan is not as strong as the Uchiha Clan. If they don't rely on the Caged Bird Cursed Seal to protect their Byakugan, the number of Hyuga Clan's members who died will probably increase exponentially.
Therefore, Caged Bird Cursed Seal are not that bad.
The reason why Hyuga Hiashi did not abolish the Caged Bird Cursed Seal is also because of this.
Once the Caged Bird Cursed Seal disappeared, the enemy may not be able to resist the temptation of getting Hyuga Clan's Byakugan.
At that time, the Hyuga Clan may not escape the fate of extinction.
After all, Byakugan is very tempting.
It should be known that Hinata was almost getting kidnapped by Kumogakure over and over again, which shows Byakugan's attraction to the people outside Konoha.
Some of branch house members recognize this point, and they just accept their fate, but some branch house members can't see this point clearly and hate the clan.
"Taiga, there may be a little pain later, so you need bear it. But rest assured, I will ensure your safety," Kakashi said.
"Commander, you can do whatever you want. I believe in my endurance." Hyuga Taiga muttered.
"Okay."
Kakashi stood behind Hyuga Taiga, and the Chakra inside his body moved.
The silver-white Cursed Seal on Kakashi's back was unsealed, causing silver-white Senjutsu Chakra to appear.
Kakashi's silver-white Cursed Seal has not fully integrated yet, so there are only a few silver-white Senjutsu Chakra that can be used at this time.
Fortunately, he didn't need too much silver-white Senjutsu Chakra, so he didn't need to worry about it.
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra gathered above Kakashi's right hand and then sank into Hyuga Taiga's head.
Hyuga Taiga groaned, but his body remained motionless.
Seeing this, Kakashi nodded, 'Taiga's will is indeed very firm.'
Kakashi manipulated his formidable Spiritual Energy to manipulate the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra to move towards Hyuga Taiga's Caged Bird Cursed Seal.

Chapter 410 – Mutated Byakugan
Hyuga Taiga only felt that a lot of snakes seemed to enter his mind, and circling and swimming continuously.
There is a slight pain, and there is also a cool feeling.
Kakashi closed his eyes and followed his silver-white Senjutsu Chakra. His Spiritual Energy is swimming in Hyuga Taiga's mind.
In the brain, a strange Chakra hovered in Hyuga Taiga's mind, connecting the optic nerve.
It is in a state of ready to be activated at any time, and once the connection is broken, it will activate immediately, destroying Hyuga Taiga's Byakugan in an instant.
Of course, if external forces try to interfere with it, it will also activate.
Seeing this, Kakashi secret thought in his heart: 'The Chakra sensitivity of this Caged Bird Cursed Seal is really scary.'
Kakashi didn't observe any more as he had already known these things before.
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra slowly invaded the Chakra of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal and turned into a chain, trying to restrain it firmly.
At this time, the Chakra in the Caged Bird Cursed Seal seemed to have turned into a fierce bird, constantly resisting the invasion of the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra.
But unfortunately, the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra's rank is much higher than it, and its resistance is completely futile.
Seeing this, Kakashi was overjoyed and secretly thought: 'Sure enough, my silver-white Senjutsu Chakra can completely suppress the activation of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal.'
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra turned into a chain, and the Chakra of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal is firmly bound and cannot move.
Kakashi nodded secretly and immediately looked at the location of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal that are connected to the optic nerve.
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra moves and cut the connection directly.
At this time, Hyuga Taiga only felt a pain in his mind, and then he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
It's like the pleasure of a girl wearing high heels for the first time and then taking off the high heels.
Hyuga Taiga couldn't help but moaned.
However, Kakashi's actions did not stop there.
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra completely wrapped the Caged Bird Cursed Seal, and then slowly removes it from Hyuga Taiga's mind.
Outside the body, Kakashi's right hand moved away from the top of Hyuga Taiga's head. A dark green Chakra was wrapped in a thin layer of silver-white Senjutsu Chakra and stayed in Kakashi's right hand.
Kakashi took out a scroll, directly slammed the dark green Chakra on it, and immediately formed hand seals with his hand!
The dark green Chakra was directly submerged in it as if it was absorbed by the scroll.
The words "Caged Bird" appears on the Scroll.
At the same time, the dark green Cursed Seal on Hyuga Taiga's forehead gradually faded, and then completely disappeared.
However, the Hyuga Taiga did not immediately open the eyes, but instead showed a painful expression.
Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, and then wondered: "What is going on?"
His Spiritual Energy once again entered Hyuga Taiga's mind, and Kakashi secretly shocked.
'Damn, because my control of the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra is not good enough, there is a trace left in Taiga's mind!'
Kakashi wanted to take back the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra, but at this moment, the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra actually entered Hyuga Taiga's Byakugan.
'This is bad!' Kakashi secretly thought.
Kakashi didn't know what would happen to Hyuga Taiga after his silver-white Senjutsu Chakra entered his Byakugan.
The expression on Hyuga Taiga became more painful, Kakashi had no choice but to stand in front of Hyuga Taiga and wait quietly.
At this point, Kakashi can't do anything. The rest depends on Hyuga Taiga himself.
At this moment, Hyuga Taiga only felt that a domineering Chakra has entered his eyes.
Originally, Hyuga Taiga thought that the Caged Bird Cursed Seal was activated, but pain did not come as expected, instead his eyes felt a cool feeling.
'What's going on?' Hyuga secretly thought.
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra wandered around in Hyuga Taiga's Byakugan, but soon, it stops.
Byakugan seemed to find this uninvited guest, and the Byakugan that had just been freed is in a state of excitement and then it directly absorbed by the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra!
The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra is not to be outdone and wanted to rise up to resist.
But it can't do anything, after all, it is in Byakugan's territory right now, so its resistance was futile.
Byakugan unceremoniously devoured this silver-white Senjutsu Chakra!
After a few moments, Hyuga Taiga felt that his Byakugan seemed to become more powerful.
Kakashi was looking at Hyuga Taiga worriedly when Hyuga Taiga suddenly opened his eyes!
The pure white eyes exuded a wave of pressure, and then, there was a faint golden light in the pure white eyes.
Seeing this, Kakashi was surprised, 'What is going on?'
"Taiga, how do you feel?" Kakashi asked.
"Commander, I feel better than ever!" Hyuga Taiga joyfully said.
"Can you try using your Byakugan?"
"Yes! Byakugan! "
In an instant, black and white images emerged in Hyuga Taiga's mind.
Originally, Hyuga Taiga's eyes had a blind spot, but now, this blind spot no longer exists!
An unprecedented clear vision appeared in Hyuga Taiga's mind.
Kakashi looked at Hyuga Taiga's eyes, and saw that the faint golden color became more obvious when Hyuga Taiga used his Byakugan.
"What is going on?" Kakashi was surprised.
Hyuga Taiga said in surprise: "Commander, my Caged Bird Cursed Seal has been removed! This feels so perfect!"
Kakashi nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, look at that."
Kakashi said, pointing to a mirror not far away.
Hyuga Taiga looked over, and sure enough, the Caged Bird Cursed Seal on his forehead has now disappeared without a trace.
But before Hyuga Taiga could be happy, he was taken aback by the golden light in his eyes.
"This is…" Hyuga Taiga said puzzledly.
"Taiga, when I was treating you, a trace of Senjutsu Chakra was absorbed by your Byakugan. Now it seems that it was merged by your Byakugan, so this strange change has occurred. Can you feel anything wrong with the Byakugan?" Kakashi asked.
Hyuga Taiga shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, it feels more powerful. I can feel that my Byakugan is stronger than before."
Hearing this, Kakashi secretly thought in his heart: 'Could it be that the silver-white Senjutsu Chakra caused some kind of mutation to the Byakugan?"
Seeing Kakashi is thinking of something, Hyuga Taiga kneeled in front of him and said: "Thank you very much commander. If not for commander, I am afraid that my Caged Bird Cursed Seal will never be lifted. And this Byakugan will definitely become stronger after fusing with commander's Chakra."
Kakashi was taken aback at Hyuga Taiga's action. He helped Hyuga Taiga stand up, and said, "Taiga, there is no need for thank you between us.. But I am worried about your eyes."

"Don't worry, Commander, I feel very good. There is no problem at all." Hyuga Taiga said.
"That's good then. If you feel any discomfort, you need to tell me as soon as possible," Kakashi said.
"Yes! Commander!"
"Well, don't tell others about this matter for the time being."
"I understand."
Although the Caged Bird Cursed Seal was removed, something strange seems to have happened to Hyuga Taiga's Byakugan, and this change was something Kakashi didn't expect.
'The silver-white Senjutsu Chakra seemed to have this strange effect on the Byakugan. Then, what about the Sharingan?'
Kakashi didn't know, but now is not the time to try.
After all, His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan hasn't completely merged yet.
Hyuga Taiga's white eyes look no different from ordinary Hyuga Clan's eyes.
But as long as Hyuga Taiga put Chakra into eyes and intends to activate his Byakugan, his white eyes will have a faint golden color.
At this time, Hyuga Taiga couldn't tell what that feeling was. But he can clearly feel that this change is very good.
The removal of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal greatly strengthened Hyuga Taiga's ability in using his Byakugan, and even the original blind spot when using his Byakugan has disappeared without a trace.
At this time, when he used his Byakugan, he feels that his field of vision has become bigger.
Hyuga Taiga felt very happy in his heart. He could feel that the door that blocked his way to reach Kage-level strength has disappeared.
As long as he worked a little harder, he would be able to break through the level that ordinary people would never be able to reach in their lifetime.
At this moment, Hyuga Taiga was extremely excited, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
As if seeing Hyuga Taiga's excitement, Kakashi smiled and said: "Well, don't get too excited. You should take a break in these two days and get used to your new Byakugan, so that nothing would go wrong when you perform a mission."
"Yes, Commander! I will definitely adapt to it as quickly as possible." Hyuga Taiga said.
"Good."
After leaving the secret room, Hyuga Taiga went back to his house and began to think about the change of his Byakugan.
And Kakashi was called to the Hokage Office.
"Tsunade-sama, are you looking for me?" Kakashi asked.
Tsunade didn't speak, but nodded, and handed a scroll to Kakashi.
Kakashi was a little confused as he took the scroll and read the content.
However, after just two glances, Kakashi's expression became a little dumbfounded.
"Tetsuken, this guy is still thinking about competing with me. That man sure is really dedicated." Kakashi said helplessly.
"That Hokubu Tetsuken came here two years ago, but you happened to have just left the village at that time, so he can only return reluctantly. Now, it seems that he got information about your return, so he immediately sent this letter of challenge," Tsunade said. .
"That man is really persistent."
"Kakashi, this is a problem you caused. So you should solve it yourself," Tsunade said.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama! I will handle it properly." Kakashi said seriously.
"Good, this Hokubu Tetsuken is said to be the next leader of the Land of Iron. I want you to be careful in your action. Although Konoha is not afraid of the Land of Iron, you should not cause unnecessary contradictions."
"Don't worry, Tsunade-sama. Tetsuken and I are friends so there should be no problem."
"That's good, when are you going to leave?" Tsunade asked.
"Maybe in these two days. The time for the fight is still seven days later, but it will take some time to get to the Land of Iron," Kakashi said.
"Well, since you are going to the Land of Iron, I will also leave this to you."
Tsunade said as she took out another scroll from her table and handed it to Kakashi.
Kakashi was taken aback. He then took the scroll and looked at the content.
But this time, Kakashi's expression turned a bit solemn.
"This is…"
"This is something that happened in a small country on the other side of the Land of Iron, the Land of Hot Water. It is said that the Shinobi Village in the Land of Hot Water, Yugakure was completely destroyed. I want you to go there to see the situation." Tsunade said.
Kakashi nodded slightly, and said, "Understood."
"Do you need manpower?" Tsunade asked.
"Not for the time being. It's convenient for me to move by myself."
"Okay, good, you should pay attention to your safety."
Kakashi left the Hokage Tower, looked at the scroll in his hand, and muttered: "Land of Hot Water, Yugakure? Is it him?"
Kakashi shook his head and remove the useless thought. He just has to go there to find the truth.
However, this matter must be temporarily suppressed, after all, he must first go to the Land of Iron to find Tetsuken for their fight.
He has promised Tetsuken to duel him before, but he has breached the agreement for two years now.
But it is because Kakashi really forgot about it. If it weren't for the letter of challenge, Kakashi would still not remember it now.
"It just happens that I want to go out for a walk. These days, I'm really tired after doing Anbu's duties."
Kakashi originally is a lazy person. So it is really difficult for him to do so much official duties.
Kakashi was walking on the way home, but suddenly saw a few familiar figures.
Green tight jumpsuits and Konoha vests, as well as the bushy eyebrows.
"Yo, Guy, long time no see." Kakashi said with a smile.
That is the Guy Team who have just finished their mission.
When Guy saw Kakashi, he was first stunned, and then excitedly said: "Kakashi! My eternal rival, you are finally back! Come on, let us compete after a long time! This is our 411th duel! Right now, we are tied with two hundred and five wins each. Whoever wins this competition will be in the lead!"
Since Kakashi used to practice with Guy before, the competition between the two became more frequent.
Kakashi was a little helpless when he heard this, 'It's our reunion after a long time, but you already want to compete?'
'Guy is indeed a very hyperactive creature.'
Neji and Tenten on the side have already put their hands on their foreheads. Having such a hyperactive teacher is really distressing for people with personality like Neji and Tenten.
As for Lee, he has already started taking notes.
"As expected of Guy-sensei! His youth is so dazzling all the time!"
Lee wrote quickly, and then showed moving tears.
"Guy, you have just finished your mission and come back. Let's talk about it later. You have to report your mission to Tsunade-sama first," Kakashi said.
Hearing this, Guy suddenly realized it and said, "Kakashi, you should wait for me here. I will report the mission and come back here immediately!"
After Guy finished speaking, he rushed towards Hokage Tower, leaving Kakashi, and his three students dumbfounded behind.
After a few moments, Neji bowed respectfully to Kakashi and said: "Kakashi-sensei, it's been a long time since we last met."
Tenten and Lee also greeted Kakashi when they saw this.
Kakashi smiled and said: "Long time no see, Neji. I heard that you are about to become a Jōnin."
"I still need to complete an A-Rank mission," Neji said calmly.
"Oh, that's very good." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Compared to Kakashi-sensei, I'm still far behind. After all, Kakashi-sensei became a Jōnin at the age of twelve."
"Well, it was during war period. It is very different from our situation right now. For you to be a Jōnin at this age, it is enough to show your talent. Hizashi- senpai sure has a good son."
"Thank you for the compliment, Kakashi-sensei." Neji respectfully said.
"Okay, I should go now. I still have things to do."
Kakashi just finished speaking when a green figure in the distance rushed towards his location!
"Kakashi! Let's have our showdown!"
Kakashi was taken aback, and looked at Guy who came back here, dumbfounded.
'You did say that you will come back here as soon as possible, but did you need to open the sixth gate to do that?'

Chapter 412 – Making Things Difficult
Seeing Guy's enthusiasm for a competition, Kakashi naturally couldn't refuse, and finally choose the fairest ramen competition.
Well, to put it simply, the winner is the one who finished eating a bowl of ramen from Ichiraku first.
Needless to say, Kakashi's instant ramen-eating skill makes him win easily with overwhelming advantage.
Guy regrets his defeat and announces that he will definitely defeat Kakashi next time.
Kakashi just smiled when he saw this.
It is really interesting to have such a good friend in life.
Kakashi went home and packed up his things, and then headed to the Land of Iron.
Three days later, Kakashi arrived in the territory of the Land of Iron.
It's already eight years since Kakashi came to the Land of Iron. At this time, the Land of Iron has undergone tremendous changes compared with the past.
Perhaps it is because the Land of Iron has made a lot of money in recent years. Kakashi also clearly feels that the gates of the Land of Iron looked more magnificent than before.
"It seems that the Land of Iron has developed well in the recent years."
At this time, Kakashi was dressed in a white windbreaker, and he did not wear his forehead protector, just like when he got to the Land of Iron back then.
"Young man, have you not been to the Land of Iron for a long time?"
When Kakashi was a little surprised, an old man walked over behind him and said. It seemed that he was also going to enter the Land of Iron.
"Sir, you are right. The last time I came here was eight years ago," Kakashi said.
"Eight years? It's no wonder that you feel suprised. A few years ago, the leader of the Land of Iron, Mifune-sama, accepted a student named Hokubu Tetsuken. This Hokubu Tetsuken is amazing, and he is also the heir of the Hokubu Clan. Because of the Hokubu Tetsuken, the Hokubu Clan has once again joined the Land of Iron. With the help of the Hokubu Clan, the development of the Land of Iron has accelerated a lot."
"Isn't the Hokubu Clan long gone?" Kakashi asked puzzledly.
"That is not true. The Hokubu Clan is said to have been forced to live in seclusion and develop their strength secretly." The old man said.
Kakashi pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Sir, you sure know so much."
"Haha, everyone in the Land of Iron know about it."
"Thank you for telling me this sir."
"You're welcome. Looking at your appearance, you should be a Samurai, right? Do you want to join the Land of Iron's guards?" The old man asked.
Kakashi his shook head with a smile and said, "I just came to see my old friend."
"So it's like that." The old man said.
"Then I will go first, goodbye sir."
Kakashi finished speaking and left.
After entering the Land of Iron, Kakashi slowly walked to the mansion of the leader of the Land of Iron following his memory.
It is also where Mifune lives.
"Stop, this is not a place where you can go in and out casually," The young samurai at the door said.
Kakashi smiled and said: "Please inform Mifune-san about me, just say Hatake Kakashi is here to meet him."
The young Samurai was taken aback when he heard Kakashi's words, and then said in a cold voice, "You said, your name is Hatake Kakashi?"
Kakashi frowned, feeling something is wrong, but still answered: "Yes, I am Hatake Kakashi."
"Sure enough, you really are the brat from Hatake Clan! Take this!"
The young Samurai pulled out the sword at his waist and slashed it towards Kakashi.
This sudden action made Kakashi stunned.
Looking at the young Samurai's sword, Kakashi saw that it was filled with killing intent.
The sword target is Kakashi's head.
Kakashi moved slightly and dodge the sword.
"If you have something to say, please just say it and don't just attack me randomly."
"Hmph! I have nothing to say to you! You are someone from the damned Hatake Clan!"
The young Samurai snorted coldly. He raised his sword again and swept it towards Kakashi.
Seeing this, Kakashi's expression changed. Although he was gentle, he wouldn't just let the young Samurai attack him again.
If something doesn't make sense, then just fight first.
Speaking of fighting, Kakashi didn't pay attention to the attacker in front of him, even if there were ten more, Kakashi could still win easily.
Just as the young Samurai's sword was about to hit Kakashi, he couldn't help but showed a look of joy.
'Haha, what Hatake Kakashi, he can't even dodge this attack, what a weakling!' The young Samurai secretly thought in his heart.
At this moment, Kakashi raised his right hand gently, and the two of his fingers clamped the young Samurai's sword, and then with a move, the sword that was clamped by his fingers was pressed against the young Samurai's neck.
All of this happened in just an instant. When the young Samurai reacted, the coolness on his neck had made his hair stand upright!
"What do you want to do! This is the residence of Mifune-sama. If you dare to attack me, you definitely won't be able to leave the Land of Iron!" The young Samurai said with some guilty conscience.
Kakashi shook his head and said, "I don't have any interest in you. I just want to meet Mifune-san."
Kakashi said as he released the sword in his fingers, and looked at the young Samurai coldly.
Kakashi's eye contains cold killing intent at this moment.
Seeing this, the young samurai was frightened and sweated!
At this moment, a middle-aged Samurai came out and said, "What happened? Why is it so noisy."
The young Samurai seemed to have found a backer, and immediately ran over, and said: "Osuke-sama, this person is causing trouble in front of the mansion!"
Hearing this, Kakashi is speechless. He didn't expect the young Samurai is such a wicked person to complain like that.
When Osuke heard this, he looked at Kakashi. At first he was a little confused, and then he suddenly said: "Are you… Hatake Kakashi?"
Hearing this, Kakashi was taken aback, and looked at Osuke, and finally remembered who this person is.
This person is Mifune's right-hand man, Osuke.
"Osuke-san, it turned out to be you."
"Kakashi, why are you here?"
"I come to visit Mifune-san," Kakashi said.
"So it's like that. Come with me."
"Thank you Osuke-san." Kakashi said with a smile.
Osuke looked at the young Samurai and said, "I know what you are thinking, but if this happen again, you will know the consequences."
The moment the young warrior saw Osuke recognized Kakashi, he knew that things were going to be bad. Sure enough, he guessed right.
The young Samurai couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he heard this, and scaredly said: "I understand, Osuke-sama."
Osuke ignored the young Samurai, and took Kakashi inside.
When the young Samurai watched Kakashi leave, he couldn't help but show a bitter expression.
"No, I have to tell the people in the clan."
The young Samurai murmured, and then left.
On the way, Kakashi looked at the Osuke in front of him and asked: "Osuke-san, why did that young Samurai at the door hate me so much?"
Osuke can only smiled helplessly and said: "Because he is from Hokubu Clan."
Report chapter
Chapter 413 – Meeting Tetsuken Again
Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, and said: "No wonder he is like that. So, the Hokubu Clan really returned to the Land of Iron?"
Osuke nodded and said: "Yeah. Few years ago, the Land of Iron's development has fallen into a bottleneck. Mifune-sama has been trying to break it, but the limited manpower made it impossible. Then Mifune-sama accepted the Tetsuken as his student, and Tetsuken proposed that the Hokubu Clan come back and join the Land of Iron. Hearing this, Mifune-sama happily agreed."
"So, it seems that the reason the Land of Iron has become so prosperous now has a lot to do with the Hokubu Clan," Kakashi said.
Osuke said: "Yeah, the comeback of the Hokubu Clan has not only brought more than a hundred strong Samurai, but also a lot of wealth. With these, the Land of Iron has reached today's prosperity. Right now, the Hokubu Clan can be considered to have completely integrated into the Land of Iron."
Kakashi did not show joy when he heard this, but frowned.
"Osuke-san, the Hokubu Clan has penetrated so deeply into the Land of Iron, are you not afraid…"
Osuke smiled and said: "It's okay. The Hokubu Clan has been reflecting on their mistakes in those years, and now, they have become very low-key. In the clan, there are a lot of upright people like Tetsuken, who will not cause any harm to the Land of Iron. Moreover, Mifune-sama is not fool. Although he trusts them, he still makes some precautions."
Kakashi was slightly relieved when he heard this. Since Mifune can understand about that, he must have a way to deal with it.
After all, Mifune is the leader of the Land of Iron. So Kakashi didn't need to worry about it.
"That's good, but that person just now…"
"The man is from the second elder lineage of the Hokubu Clan. You may not know this, but the person who had offended Konoha's White Fang and was suppressed by him back then is the son of the second elder. As for the rest, with your intelligence, I don't have to say anything more," said Osuke.
Hearing this, Kakashi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, 'I didn't expect to encounter an enemy when I just arrived here.'
"Most of the Hokubu Clan have now let go of their hatred of White Fang. Only the second elder lineage have never given up. By the way, Tetsuken is also from the second elder lineage."
"This…"
"Don't worry, Tetsuken is not someone the second elder can control. The reason you come here this time should be because of the letter of challenge from Tetsuken, right?" Osuke asked.
Kakashi nodded and said: "Yeah, I have an agreement with Tetsuken to duel in six years. I didn't expect that I have to leave Konoha at the promised time because of something. I never had time, so it has been delayed for two years."
"Haha, I know. I remember that when Tetsuken came back from Konoha, he was very unhappy for a while, saying that you are an untrustworthy person." Osuke said with a smile.
Kakashi was helpless when he heard this. But this matter is his fault, after all, he was the one who had forgotten about the agreement.
Kakashi originally made this agreement with Tetsuken to make Tetsuken feel at ease.
"Well, since you're here, the so-called battle should also be carried out. Mifune-sama is in that room, you can go in. I will leave now as I still have something to do." Osuke said as he pointed to the room not far away.
"Sorry to trouble you, Osuke-san."
Osuke nodded, then turned and left.
As Mifune's right-hand man, Osuke has many things to do.
When Kakashi saw that Osuke left, without wasting time, he went directly into the room.
He should have looked for Tetsuken, but Mifune was Sakumo's friend. That means, Mifune is his elder, and he is also the leader of the Land of Iron, so Kakashi choose to visit him first.
Kakashi knocked on the door lightly, and a deep voice came from the room.
"Who is it?"
"Mifune-san, it is me, Hatake Kakashi."
The person inside was obviously taken aback, and then Kakashi heard the sound of someone standing up. After a while, the door was opened.
After not meeting him for eight years, Kakashi saw that Mifune has become older.
His head is still wrapped in a bandage, and his beards have become more stylish.
Seeing that it was really Kakashi, a smile appeared on Mifune's face.
"Kakashi, you are finally here, that Tetsuken is always talking about your name day and night."
"Sorry, I missed the agreement." Kakashi apologized.
Mifune waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, as a Shinobi, it can't be helped. I also heard that it took you two years to complete the mission, showing how dangerous your mission is."
"Thank you for your understanding Mifune-san." Kakashi said.
"Haha. Since you are here, come with me to see Tetsuken at the Hokubu Mansion. That brat might be practicing his swordsmanship at this moment." Mifune smiled.
"Yeah, then sorry to trouble you, Mifune-san." Kakashi respectfully said.
Mifune touched his beard and smiled: "Haha, it's fine, I originally want to go there myself."
So, Mifune took Kakashi and walked towards Hokubu Mansion.
Hokubu Mansion is a one of Hokubu Clan's residence. Tetsuken is living at this place right now.
Most people is simply not qualified to go to Hokubu Mansion.
But everyone knows that there is a very powerful Samurai hidden inside.
Everyone also knows that this very powerful Samurai is someone who will become the number one Samurai in the Land of Iron in the future.
With Mifune beside him, Kakashi naturally entered the Hokubu Mansion unimpeded.
It's just that the people in Hokubu Mansion are very curious about his identity. After all, there are only few people that were qualified to be on Mifune's side.
And they also saw that Mifune was very polite to him.
In the Hokubu Mansion, Tetsuken held the sword named Lake Toya and waved it with him.
One by one move is done, all with powerful aura.
Sweep, chop, stab, slash, slice, cut, charge, cleave!
The eight moves in the swordsmanship are done one by one by Tetsuken.
This is the most basic sword move, but in Tetsuken's hands, it looked very powerful.
Kakashi and Mifune stood at the door, quietly watching Tetsuken training his swordsmanship in the courtyard.
Kakashi was secretly surprised when he saw this.
'What a terrifying swordsmanship!'
Kakashi could clearly feel that in the Tetsuken's swordsmanship right now is not weaker than his own.
And with his swordsmanship, even the basic move he is doing looked very powerful.
'He really got stronger!'
'And it's stronger than I imagined.'
The Millennium Sword that is straddled on Kakashi's waist, hummed slightly at this time, seeming to be extremely excited!
Kakashi gently pressed the handle of the knife to tell Millennium Sword to be quiet.
But, Millennium Sword's hum seems to attract Tetsuken who was practicing.
Tetsuken stared at Kakashi calmly, without the slightest surprise in his eyes, and then, he said softly: "You are here."

Chapter 414 – Drinking
Kakashi smiled and said, "Yeah, I am here. Sorry, it looks like I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's never too late for a good opponent."
"It seems you are really looking forward to this battle." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Of course, I waited for six years, and then waited for another two years, in order to continue our unfinished battle at the Samurai Conference," Tetsuken said.
"So… should we start now?" Kakashi said, looking at Tetsuken.
The Lake Toya in Tetsuken's hand moved slightly, and his fighting intent instantly rose, but soon it disappeared.
Kakashi was a little puzzled when he saw this, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"Gintoki, you have just arrived in the Land of Iron, I know you must be tired right now, so it is unfair to you if we fight right now. You should rest for a night before we start our battle. I have been waiting for eight years, so it is okay to wait for one more day."
Hearing this, Kakashi was taken aback, 'He is still the same as before.'
"Well, since you said so, I will not refuse." Kakashi said with a smile.
Tetsuken then put the Lake Toya back into its scabbard. His movement was clean and neat.
With just this movement, swordsman would know that Tetsuken is a really strong swordsman.
After putting his sword back into its sheath, Tetsuken's face finally showed a smile.
"Gintoki, now that you are here, before the battle, it is better for us to have a drinking competition first!" Tetsuken said with a smile.
"Drinking?" Kakashi was a little confused, but soon thought that Tetsuken was originally an alcoholic person.
At this time, Mifune said: "Tetsuken, are you thinking of drinking again?"
"Ah, Mifune-sensei, I haven't drank for a long time. So how can I not drink with Gintoki when he is here? Mifune-sensei, can you let it go this time?"
Tetsuken looked at Mifune with expectant look, looking forward to Mifune's reply.
After becoming Mifune's student, Mifune has been preaching about drinking to him.
Drinking will make the sword dull, so Mifune prohibits Tetsuken from drinking.
But it is hard for Tetsuken to stop drinking.
After all, it is really uncomfortable for him to not drink alcohol.
Therefore, Tetsuken will always hide and secretly drink a little.
Every time he was discovered by Mifune, he will always have preached by Mifune.
So, when it comes to this, Tetsuken still had a lingering fear in the matter.
Mifune looked at Tetsuken's expectant expression, and his heart softened. After all, Mifune really like his student and favored him.
"Well, only this once, there is no next time. Within a month, if I found out that you were drinking, you will be punished." Mifune scolded with a smile. Tetsuken shrank his neck when he heard this, feeling a little frightened.
However, hearing Mifune has agreed, Tetsuken was naturally extremely happy.
Tetsuken then said: "Thank you Mifune-sensei!"
Then, Tetsuken grabbed Kakashi's neck and said, "Gintoki, let's go get some good drink!"
Kakashi was helpless, 'This guy is still the same.' Tetsuken's action makes Kakashi couldn't help but quite miss the time when he is in the Land of Iron eight years ago.
"Mifune-san, then I will leave first," Kakashi said.
Mifune nodded and said: "Go, and please help me look after Tetsuken and make him drink less."
Before Kakashi could answer, he was pulled out by Tetsuken.
Seeing this, Mifune shook his head, and murmured: "That Tetsuken sure is enthusiastic."
Iron House, the most famous restaurant in Land of Iron.
Tetsuken directly booked a private room inside, and then walked in with Kakashi.
The two sat down in the private room. Tetsuken looked at the man who is more mature than eight years ago, and for a moment, he felt a little nostalgic.
"Gintoki, long time no see." Tetsuken said again, but his tone is a little different from before.
Kakashi smiled when he heard this, and said, "What? Miss me a lot?"
"You are still the same as before, still likes making jokes. I am not as free as you now." Tetsuken said with emotion.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Hokubu Tetsuken would have such a day." Kakashi teased.
"I am really envious of my former days. Since the Hokubu Clan joined the Land of Iron, I have been dealing with both the clan and the Land of Iron. I am really tired."
"Why? Hasn't the Hokubu Clan been fully integrated into the Land of Iron?" Kakashi wondered.
"Accurately speaking, it's only most of them. There is still a small part of the clan that is still stubborn, always wanting to cause trouble." Tetsuken said helplessly.
"Second elder lineage?" Kakashi asked.
Tetsuken was taken aback, and said, "How did you know?"
"I heard Osuke-san say about it before. He also said that you are from that second elder lineage," Kakashi said.
Tetsuken sighed when he heard this and said: "Yes, the second elder is my Grandfather, but I really have nothing to do with him."
"What does he want to do?"
"It's nothing more than wanting the authority of the Land of Iron. Even with his old age, he is still so ambitious." Tetsuken said helplessly.
"Does Mifune-san know?" Kakashi asked.
"He knew, but he didn't care about it. He said that it is good for a clan to have ambitions as it also helps the Land of Iron," Tetsuken said.
Kakashi nodded. As a leader, he can't blindly suppress the forces underneath them, but had to balance them and let them develop, so that his country could become stronger.
Of course, if second elder's ambition swells to the point of overthrowing Mifune, then he would suppress it.
"You are really unlucky." Kakashi said sympathetically.
"Yeah, I can only help balance the both sides now, otherwise, conflict would be inevitable."
At this time, the door opened and the waiter put the sake on the table.
"Well, Gintoki, let's not talk about this, let's drink!"
Tetsuken said. He then picked up the sake and poured into his glass and drank it. After drinking it, he showed happy expression.
"Ah! It's a really good sake. I haven't drank it for a long time. What a lost." Tetsuken sighed again.
Kakashi smiled and also had a drink.
The two talked and laughed, and soon drank dozens of bottles of sake.
"It's really enjoyable!" Tetsuken said with a smile.
"Come on, give us more sake!" Tetsuken shouted.
The waiter said: "Tetsuken-sama, Mifune-sama has told me that these are all you can have, and I can't give you more."
Hearing this, Tetsuken was taken aback, "Mifune-sensei really orders you about this?"
"Yes, Tetsuken-sama."
Hearing this, Tetsuken's expression instantly turned into a disappointed expression.
Kakashi smiled when he saw this and said: "Well, It's not good for us to drink too much today. After all, we have to fight tomorrow, so let's continue next time."
"Well, we can only postpone it for now. When we finish our battle, we will have another drink!" orders said excitedly.
Kakashi smiled and said: "Well, only if you are able to convince Mifune-san to agree."
Tetsuken once again showed disappointed expression when he heard Kakashi's words.

Chapter 415 – Problem
Hokubu Mansion, a slightly drunk Tetsuken returned to his room.
Kakashi has already returned to the inn.
It was dark, and the moon was hanging high.
Tetsuken pushed open the door of his room, and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting on a chair, looking at him coldly.
Tetsuken was taken aback, and his drunkenness dissipated in an instant.
"Jii-san, why are you here?" Tetsuken asked.
This old man is none other than the second elder! Tetsuken's Grandfather!
"Hmph, why? You don't welcome this old man here?" asked the second elder.
Tetsuken smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said: "Of course not, it's just that it's so late, I didn't expect to see you here, Jii-san."
The second elder looked at Tetsuken, and then said: "Hatake Kakashi is here?"
Hearing this, Tetsuken's expression changed a little. He already knew that the Hokubu Clan would know that Kakashi is here sooner or later.
After all, it is impossible to hide this thing.
Moreover, the reason Tetsuken called Kakashi to come to the Land of Iron is also because he wanted to reconcile the relationship between Kakashi and Hokubu Clan.
After all, in Tetsuken's view, this was the grievance from the previous generation, and these previous generations have already passed away, so revenge in this generation is not needed at all.
Moreover, the original incident was originally his father's fault.
Furthermore, White Fang did not kill anyone in the Hokubu Clan.
He just embarrassed the Hokubu Clan.
The most important point is that the current Hokubu Clan can't beat Kakashi at all.
After all, Kakashi is Konoha's Anbu Commander. And Hokubu Clan is only a small Samurai clan. So, if they are trying to get revenge from Kakashi, they are just courting death.
"That't right, Jii-san."
"Hmph, why didn't you tell me about it? If it wasn't because one of our clan's members found out about this, are you going to hide it from me?" The second elder snorted coldly.
Tetsuken said helplessly: "Jii-san, I didn't mean that. I didn't tell you because I didn't know when Kakashi would come here."
"Then what did you do before?" asked the two elders.
"That's… Drinking at the Iron House." said Tetsuken embarrassedly.
"With Hatake Kakashi?" The second elder said angrily.
Tetsuken did not deny it and said: "Yes."
"Bastard! You already knew that your father died of depression because of this Kakashi's father, but you actually drank with him! What are you thinking!" The second elder yelled furiously.
"Jii-san, what happened back then was tou-san's fault, and White Fang also didn't kill tou-san. I knew that it was because tou-san's mind was not strong enough that he ended up died in depression. It has nothing to do with White Fang."
"Shut up! You beast! That's your father! You actually dared to say that! You should have a little awareness of being his son! How could I have a grandson like you!" The second elder roared.
Hearing this, Tetsuken closed his mouth and squeezed his fist fiercely, obviously restraining something.
The second elder then said at this time: "I order you now! In tomorrow's duel with Hatake Kakashi, kill him! This way, even Konoha will not be able to hold us accountable about his death. We can just say that Hatake Kakashi's skill is too weak!"
"No way! Kakashi is my friend, I will never kill him!"
"You bastard! Don't you remember your father's hatred?"
"Jii-san! I have already said that tou-san's death was not White Fang's fault, even if it is White Fang's fault, it has nothing to do with Kakashi!" Tetsuken argued.
"Absurd! Your father was killed by White Fang! Now that White Fang is dead, his son should be the one who pays his debts! This Hatake Kakashi must die in your hands!" said the second elder.
"Jii-san, you can't order me to do that!" Tetsuken felt a little helpless.
The second elder now insisted that Tetsuken's father was killed by White Fang, and then made Kakashi to be the object of revenge.
But the second elder knew how Tetsuken's father died in the first place better than anyone else.
However, he is still insisting like this, making Tetsuken felt helpless.
"What I said is right! You are my grandson, so you must listen to me! Otherwise, you are greatly unfilial! Your dead father and mother won't be peaceful in the underworld!" The two elders said evilly.
"Jii-san…you!" Tetsuken didn't know what to do at this time.
"Tetsuken, I don't care what friendship you have with that Kakashi, you must kill him tomorrow. I believe you can do it. Don't let this old man down!"
The second elder said as he patted Tetsuken's shoulders. Then he got up and left.
Tetsuken was left alone, standing in the room blankly.
The moonlight came in through the window and shone on Tetsuken's pale face.
For a long time, there was an expression of pain on Tetsuken's face.
"I really shouldn't have called Kakashi to come to the Land of Iron this time. I should have gone to Konoha by myself. Now this has become a mess."
Tetsuken didn't expect that his Grandfather's hatred of Kakashi was so strong.
These two people obviously have never met before.
Tetsuken couldn't figure it out why his grandfather was so stubbornly blame White Fang for his father's death.
After all, his father provoked White Fang first, and White Fang only responded to his father provocation. He even let his father and Hokubu Clan go.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is already a great tolerance.
But for the second elder, this is a great insult.
Not only an insult to his own son, but also an insult to himself, and an insult to the Hokubu Clan.
Therefore, the second elder have been thinking about revenge all the time for so many years.
He has conducted the most rigorous training on Tetsuken since he was a child.
Now that I have reached this point, it is obviously impossible for the second elder to give up.
People in the world are always like this, never looking for reasons in themselves, only to feel that the others are in the wrong.
The second elder was blinded by selfishness, completely unable to see the situation in front of him.
Apart from anything else, even if Tetsuken killed Kakashi, would Konoha really let it go? Kakashi has also been in Konoha for so long, so what about his comrades and students?
Konoha might look at the bigger picture and let the Hokubu Clan go, but these people definitely won't.
These people take revenge on him and the Hokubu Clan.
And assassination is precisely Shinobi's specialty.
Tetsuken is caught in a huge problem right now.
Of course, the problem is not how to kill Kakashi, but how to resolve the hatred in it.
"Damn it, with Jii-san's bad temper, this is really too difficult!" Tetsuken wailed.
"I can't do it. I can only take one step at a time tomorrow."
As the night darkened, Kakashi was already lying on the bed.
After three days of travelling, Kakashi felt quite tired.
At this time, he still didn't know that there was a group of people in this place who wanted his life.

Chapter 416 – The Decisive Battle
Iron Canyon.
Kakashi looked at this familiar place with emotion in his heart.
Eight years ago, he fought against Killer B and Yondaime Raikage here, but he retreat before finishing the fight.
In these eight years, there are some changes in this place.
The traces of the battle left by the fight against Killer B had a great impact on the Iron Canyon.
The years didn't completely erase these traces.
Kakashi and Tetsuken are now standing separately on the middle stone platform at the canyon.
"Gintoki, are you satisfied with our decisive battle's venue?" said Tetsuken with a smile.
Kakashi nodded and said: "Not bad, it reminds me of some things from before."
"Hmm? Have you been here before?" Tetsuken wondered.
"Eight years ago, after leaving the Samurai Conference, I was fighting Killer B here," Kakashi said.
"So that's the case. No wonder the rocks here were destroyed so much, it turned out you are the one who do it." Tetsuken was a little shocked.
"Why did you choose this place? I thought you would choose the Iron Arena." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Hmph, it's too much trouble to do that. Moreover, how can that little ring be enough for our battle? This place is more suitable." Tetsuken said with a smile.
"Yeah, this place is really good. I don't like being watched by so many people like monkeys," Kakashi said.
"Oh, me too." Tetsuken smiled.
"Oh? Really? When we participated in the Samurai Conference, it seemed you quite enjoying it."
"Don't mention that. If it weren't because my grandfather asked me to go to the Land of Iron to make a name for the Hokubu Clan to re-emerge in the Land of Iron, I wouldn't have bothered to do these things." Tetsuken said helplessly.
"It seems that living in a big clan is not always good." Kakashi said.
"There is no other way. After all, it is my responsibility."
Kakashi nodded when he heard this. After all, if someone lived in a group, they need to do things even if they didn't want to.
But, after listening to Tetsuken, Kakashi remembered one thing.
When Kakashi left the Hatake Clan at Warring State Period, he didn't know if it is still there.
'It seems that I have to take some time to look at it.'
At the very least, he must integrate the Hatake Clan into Ochagakure.
If Hatake Clan was integrated, maybe it will allow Ochagakure to become stronger.
Mifune stood not far from the two of them. Osuke was also here, next to Mifune.
Osuke looked at the two on the platform, and said to Mifune: "Mifune-sama, between Tetsuken and Kakashi, who do you think will win?"
Mifune pondered for a moment, and said: "If it is using their overall strength, it will be extremely difficult for Tetsuken to win against Kakashi. But if it is only using swordsmanship, I am afraid it is difficult to tell the winner."
Hearing this, Osuke was slightly shocked, and then said: "Mifune-sama, are you saying that even after Tetsuken's swordsmanship has reach that level, he still can't win against Kakashi?"
Mifune shook his head and said: "Kakashi is Shinobi. Swordsmanship is only part of his strength. And I don't know how strong he actually is. But I am sure that even I am not his opponent."
"What? How is that possible! Mifune-sama is so powerful. Even Hatake Kakashi is a genius, it's impossible to surpass you at such a young age." Osuke said in shock.
Mifune didn't answer Osuke's question, but instead said: "Osuke, do you know when I first met Kakashi?"
Osuke was taken aback, wondering why Mifune asked this suddenly.
"I don't know, Mifune-sama."
Mifune looked at the blue sky and lost into his memory. Mifune then said, "The first time I saw Kakashi was when he was fourteen years old. At that time, he was just like a sword that is still in its scabbard, hiding his sharpness. Although his swordsmanship wasn't as strong as now, it has already reached a high level. At least, I was twenty years old when I had reached that level."
Osuke was surprised again when he heard this.
Mifune continued: "The second time I saw Kakashi, it was at the Samurai Conference. At that time, he was already twenty years old. He was like a sword that was out of its sheath, and his sharpness was revealed! At that time, you also must have seen his swordsmanship. From what I saw, no one in the younger generation can compete with him. Even if it was Tetsuken back then, he wouldn't be able to hold ten moves against Kakashi."
Osuke nodded, agreeing with Mifune's statement.
He was also on the scene at that time and still remembers the match between Killer B and Kakashi.
Wonderful battle of speed and swordsmanship.
Against that kind of swordsmanship, Osuke did not have the confidence to resist.
"And when I saw Kakashi this time, he seemed to be a sheathed sword, and all his sharpness seemed to be reduced. But I can feel his terrifying strength and the powerful aura hidden in his Millennium Sword."
"What? Mifune-sama, you mean, Kakashi has comprehend the meaning of sword?" Osuke was surprised.
Mifune nodded and said: "Yeah, and his comprehension has reached a very high level. It has taken me a long time before I was able to reach that level."
"This… isn't it too terrifying? Kakashi's geniusness is indeed very famous, but I always thought it was in the talent of Shinobi. I didn't expect it to be also that terrifying in terms of swordsmanship. Tetsuken can be said to be born Samurai, and it was not until the age of twenty-five that he officially broke through and comprehend the meaning of sword. But Kakashi, even in the case of being distracted with learning Ninjutsu, can still reach this level. It is really terrifying!" Osuke was very shocked.
Mifune sighed and said, "Yeah, it's really terrifying talent. Should I say as expected of Hatake Sakumo's son? He is even more terrifying than his father."
"Konoha is really lucky to have such character." Osuke sighed.
"Yeah, maybe this Kakashi will change the way the Shinobi World move in the future." Mifune suddenly said.
Osuke was taken aback, and said: "Mifune-sama, you mean…"
Mifune shook his head and said: "This is just my guess. To reach that level, not only is strength necessary. I am afraid it will take some time before it happened."
"We can only wait and see it ourselves." Osuke said.
"Well, you should look carefully at the duel between these two, it will be good for you. Maybe you can also broke through and comprehend the meaning of sword with this."
"Yes, Mifune-sama."
After Osuke finished speaking, he looked at the two people in front of him intently.
In another part of the Iron Canyon, an old man with a white hair led a dozen Samurai in ambush here.
"Teichi, how is the matter going?" the second elder asked.
"It's done, Hatake Kakashi will definitely die with this."
Hearing this, the second elder's eyes lit up: "Very good! Hatake Kakashi, I will finally see your end!"

Chapter 417 – Swords Fight
The wind blew gently and blew the few strains of the hair on Kakashi's forehead.
Kakashi's gaze slowly moved upward, and finally fell on Tetsuken's eyes.
Tetsuken's gaze gradually became sharper as well, and an invisible aura collided between the two.
There's an illusion of sparks flying!
Tetsuken placed his hand on the hilt of Lake Toya and said softly: "Draw your sword."
Kakashi's Millennium Sword was placed on his waist, and then, Kakashi's right hand was also placed on its hilt.
Kakashi chuckled softly and said: "As you wish."
Stretching his right hand, Kakashi pulled out his sword out of its scabbard. He held it with one hand, and pointed it at Tetsuken.
But Tetsuken did not move at all. Holding the scabbard of the sword with his left hand and the hilt with his right hand, his legs bent slightly.
When Kakashi saw this, he smiled slightly, as he understood what Tetsuken wants to do.
Tetsuken narrowed his eyes, and then his feet jerked with a bang!
With a loud noise, a hole appeared in the stone platform under Tetsuken's foot, and Tetsuken shot towards Kakashi like an arrow from the string.
And his right hand still has not pulled out Lake Toya yet.
Seeing this, Kakashi moved his feet and rushed forward. The difference is that the stone platform under Kakashi's feet did not show any damage.
The distance between the two is getting closer!
"Take this, Gintoki!"
Tetsuken yelled softly, and the sword in his hand came out!
There was no other noise except the sound of the air breaking when the sword was pulled out!
In an instant, an invisible condensed fighting intent erupted from the sword!
Excitement!
Kakashi frowned after seeing this. The Millennium Sword in his hand hummed a little, and then, blue Chakra instantly wraps around it like a chain!
Lightning bursts!
Lake Toya was slashed horizontally!
Millennium Sword is blocking vertically!
The body of the two swordsmen has also become very close in a flash!
Kakashi can even see himself in Tetsuken's eyes!
Ding!
After the two swords collided, the two swordsmen fell back and fell into the water under the stone platform!
The sound of the water rang, and ripples started blooming!
The two retreated a few steps, and finally stopped. They stood on the surface of the water with a sword in their hand!
The first round of their confrontation is evenly matched!
Kakashi smiled and said: "Iaidō? Sure enough, you have a deep knowledge of that move, Tetsuken."
Tetsuken replied: "Iaidō is the most commonly used trick. Mifune-sensei has even made this move to the peak. As his student, I can't embarrass him."
Kakashi couldn't help but smiled after hearing this.
The technique of Iaidō is indeed very commonly used. When using Iaidō, he can pour his whole body's energy into the sword, and it often has the ability to determine the winner with one blow.
But similarly, there will be some trouble if Iaidō is not enough to defeat the enemy in one blow. After the slash, the user momentum tends to become weaker, and the enemy can use this chance to launch a counterattack.
Kakashi has also practiced Iaidō, but did not study it in depth.
The first reason is because Kakashi does not like to carry scabbards, and the Millennium Sword is usually stored in the seal on his wrist.
Iaidō can of course be used without a scabbard, but it needs to be trained to a very high level.
The second is that if he wants to master Iaidō, he needs not only talent, but also needs to swing his sword at least 10,000 times a day, so it takes too much time.
For Kakashi, this kind of practice is not worth the loss.
After all, even if he mastered the Iaidō to a very high level, its power is not necessarily stronger than the mastered Hatake Clan's Sword Technique.
Therefore, although Kakashi knew Iaidō is good move, he is still unwilling to spend a lot of effort and time to train it.
But Tetsuken is different. His Iaidō was taught to him by Mifune, and it was more advanced than other Iaidō.
Moreover, Mifune believes that Iaidō is conducive to temper the spirit of a Samurai, and it is very helpful to help them comprehend the meaning of sword.
And Iaidō is also Mifune's signature move.
As soon as Tetsuken ready his stance, Kakashi knew what kind of moves he was going to make.
It just seemed that Tetsuken didn't use its full strength in that strike, and Kakashi also didn't feel any powerful pressure from it.
In the Hokubu Mansion yesterday, Kakashi really felt the terrifying powerful pressure from Tetsuken's move.
That pressure is enough to make the Millennium Sword excited.
Tetsuken's right foot moved out slightly, and another ripples formed on the surface of the water.
"Gintoki, you are really strong. You were able to block my Iaidō easily."
Kakashi smiled and said: "I know that you didn't use your full strength in that strike. Come on, stop playing around. Show me how much you have grown in these eight years."
Tetsuken showed an excited smile and said, "I won't let you down!"
As he said that, the aura on Tetsuken's body changed, and powerful pressure come out of Lake Toya in an instant!
Kakashi's expression turned serious as he saw the powerful aura from Lake Toya.
"North Star Sword Technique: Star Crusher!"
Tetsuken is holding the sword with both of his hands. He put the hilt on his forehead, and the tip of his sword is pointed at Kakashi.
For an instant, the two of them seemed to be in the space, and it is very quiet!
Kakashi even felt that his perception seemed to be dulled under the influence of the sword.
The corner of Tetsuken's mouth was slightly raised, and then he sprinted with an extremely fast speed.
There're a lot of afterimages formed, but there was not a single ripple on the surface of the water under their feet!
The afterimages are moving closer and closer towards Kakashi!
The tip of the sword that revealed the cold light was also getting closer and closer to Kakashi's throat!
Kakashi didn't seem to react at all and he just stood there blankly!
At this moment, Tetsuken didn't hold back at all. After all, swords fight is a live and death duel, so he couldn't hold back, otherwise, he would lose!
Whoosh!
Tetsuken's sword has finally reached its target, Kakashi's throat!
On the side, Osuke couldn't help but feel nervous when he was this scene, looking forward to the outcome of their battle.
The second elder in the distance was extremely excited, and he can't wait to see Tetsuken stabs Kakashi to death.
Mifune just stood there and touched his beard lightly, looking indifferent.
Just as the sword was about to pierce Kakashi's throat, Kakashi moved!
The Millennium Sword appeared and blocked the tip of Lake Toya in an incredible angle!
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the sparks flew!
The Millennium Sword completely blocked Tetsuken's strike.
Immediately after, Kakashi pulled his right hand, making the Millennium Sword drew an arc in mid-air, and gently moved Lake Toya. Then Kakashi picked out Tetsuken with his sword and threw him into the air.
Tetsuken froze for a moment as all of this happened in just an instant, and Kakashi's speed was so fast that Tetsuken was unable to react at all.
Kakashi didn't stop there. He leaped and caught up with Tetsuken in an instant. With a wave of his right hand, the Millennium Sword slashed towards the Tetsuken!
Tetsuken was shocked, and quickly moved Lake Toya to his chest to block Kakashi's attack!
Ding!
The huge force directly smashed Tetsuken into the water!

Chapter 418 – Secret Technique Collision!
The water splashed!
Tetsuken's body sank into the water in an instant.
"So fast, what a powerful strength! Kakashi's speed has become even faster than eight years ago, and I didn't he would also be this strong." Osuke exclaimed.
Mifune nodded when he heard this and said: "It is really terrifying. He still doesn't have Yondaime Raikage's physique, but his strength is not weaker than Yondaime Raikage. I don't know how Kakashi trained it."
If Kakashi heard what Mifune said, he will explain to Mifune that the reason he can have this powerful physique really has something to do with Yondaime Raikage.
From the beginning of his transmigration, Kakashi has already plans on how to strengthen his strength.
As for his shortcomings and lack of Chakra reserve, Kakashi has made two basic plans.
The first is to remove Sharingan's restrictions on himself. Until now Kakashi can only use the method of sealing to overcome this point.
The second is to strengthen his Physical Energy and Spiritual Energy.
Spiritual Energy is something mysterious and it is hard to increase it. Kakashi didn't know how to do it at the beginning. The fusion of the two souls made his Spiritual Energy soar, so Kakashi didn't have to worry about it after a period of time.
Later, he got Yuhi Clan's Spiritual Energy's training method. Since then, he trained with it, and it gives him remarkable results even now.
In terms of Physical Energy, originally Kakashi used the Eight Gates Technique to strengthen his physique.
After getting the Lightning Release Armor, he also used it to strengthen his physique.
In other words, Kakashi's body is now strengthened to the level of seventh gate of the Eight Gates Technique and the second stage of the Lightning Release Armor.
Even if he doesn't use this two secret technique anymore, his physique is still strong.
It is because of this physique and the advancement of Spiritual Energy that allows Kakashi to now support the use of the Three Great Senjutsu.
However, due to his Sharingan's evolution, only about half of his Chakra remained for the time being.
Kakashi's ability to develop his current physique depends on diligence.
Kakashi's geniusness is not reflected in his physique, but in his Ninjutsu's talent and high IQ.
In the distance, when the second elder saw this scene, he couldn't help but said coldly: "That waste, Tetsuken, was beaten like this by Kakashi. Hmph, forget it, after a while, Kakashi won't be that calm anymore!"
The battle continues!
After Tetsuken falls into the water, Kakashi is also falling from the sky!
Boom!
When his feet touch the water, terrifying waves emerged!
Kakashi's eye stared at the bottom of the water, being alert to Tetsuken's sudden attack.
Ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, one minute passed!
There was no movement at the bottom of the water.
Kakashi frowned, as he couldn't figure out Tetsuken's plan.
His attack just now, although powerful, didn't hit Tetsuken at all. Although the force was able to knock Tetsuken into the water, it was still not enough to hurt him.
'Then, why didn't Tetsuken come out?'
"Mifune-sama, why hasn't Tetsuken appeared yet?" Osuke doubted.
Mifune pondered for a moment, and then smiled as if thinking of something: "That brat Tetsuken is smart, he is gathering strength under the water."
"Gathering strength?" Osuke is somewhat puzzled.
"Don't worry, you will understand when you look at it," said Mifune.
When Osuke heard this, he stopped talking.
After Kakashi looked at the bottom of the water for a while, his face suddenly changed.
He noticed that a terrifying pressure was gathered at the bottom of the water, and now it was on the verge of exploding!
At this time, the originally calm water began to vibrate violently.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Kakashi jumped up and landed on the side of the stone wall, quietly watching a huge vortex appearing on the surface of the water!
The vortex on the surface of the water gradually become larger, and the entire surface of the water seemed to become a terrifying vortex.
The vortex is getting bigger and bigger, and the land at the bottom of the water is gradually becoming visible.
And on the bottom of the water, one person stood with a sword on his hand and his expression turned serious.
This person is Tetsuken!
Around Tetsuken, there is an endless stream of water, but it is separated by an invisible energy.
With Tetsuken as the center, the vortex around him unwound like this!
The underwater area occupied by Tetsuken became larger and larger, and the powerful pressure became stronger.
"What a terrifying pressure! Tetsuken concentrates all of his strength in one place!" Osuke was shocked.
Mifune also slightly frowned, and then said softly: "Is Tetsuken going to decide the battle with a single move? He actually gathered his strength to such an extent."
The second elder in the distance was even more surprised when he saw this.
"I didn't expect Tetsuken would have grown to this level. As expected of my grandson. The Hokubu Clan will surely be able to flourish in Tetsuken's hands, and this Hatake Kakashi will surely become a stepping stone for my Hokubu Clan to move forward!"
The second elder looked at the dignified Kakashi standing on the stone wall in the distance, as if he had seen Kakashi's death.
There was a hideous sly smile at the corner of his mouth.
Kakashi's heart moved, as if he felt it, but he didn't make any response.
He quietly looked at Tetsuken who is creating the vortex under the water, and his grip on the Millennium Sword became tighter!
"It's really getting more and more interesting. Then, show me how strong you are now, Tetsuken," Kakashi muttered.
Tetsuken who is at the bottom of the water suddenly raised his head and looked at Kakashi on the stone wall.
"Gintoki, you have to be careful of this next move, don't die."
Kakashi chuckled and said: "Do not worry, I never had any plan to die this young."
The veins in Tetsuken's hand became even more pronounced, showing that he has obviously used his greatest strength.
The green veins are like green dragons, constantly wriggling on the back of his hand.
Tetsuken then jumps up!
Boom!
The bottom of the water shattered instantly!
"North Star Secret Sword Technique: North Star Slash!"
In an instant, Lake Toya in Tetsuken's hand released a powerful light like a dazzling star!
Under the star's light, there seemed to be an aura of horror and silence, even Osuke and Mifune who were far away from it, felt their skin tighten.
"What a terrifying moves!" Mifune said in surprise.
At this moment, there seems to be only one sword between heaven and earth!
When Kakashi saw this, the Millennium Sword in his hand also released powerful pressure!
The sound of dragons' roars instantly swept across the entire Iron Canyon!
Powerful Thunder Dragon instantly wrapped around the Millennium Sword!
The sword has not moved yet, but terrifying pressure has already released!
"Thunder Dragon Dance!"
Before Mifune and the others' surprises from Tetsuken's move could disappear, they were enlarged again.
"This Hatake Kakashi definitely can't be let alive!" The second elder looked at Kakashi with eyes full of grievances!
North Star Slash strike from the bottom to top!
And Thunder Dragons fall from the sky!
Boom!
The collision of two kinds of secret sword technique!
The collision of two beliefs!
The collision of two swords!
Boom!
The terrifying air blast instantly blew all the water underneath!
For a while, rain seems to be pouring at that place!

Chapter 419 – Lighting Shunpo!
Boom boom boom!
The Thunder Dragon stopped abruptly!
The light from North Star Slash also turned dim!
For a while, the entire Iron Canyon was caught in a strange silence!
Tetsuken was like a cannonball, falling into the water, splashing countless splashes of water!
As for Kakashi, he was smashed into the stone wall, leaving a human-shaped pit.
The power of North Star Slash that Tetsuken used after gathering his strength is comparable to Kakashi's Thunder Dragon Dance!
Of course, this has something to do with Kakashi's current poor state.
But this is enough to show how far Tetsuken has grown.
With a move, Kakashi left the human-shaped pit on the stone wall and looked at the water below.
"Tetsuken is really good. Usually, when I used this move, most people would already defeated."
Kakashi secretly sighed. But there is no discomfort on his face, and he was a little relieved.
"Mifune-sama, those moves are too terrifying. I did not expect Tetsuken and Kakashi's strength would already reach that level." Osuke shocked.
Mifune touched his beard in one hand and touched his sword on his waist while lamenting, "Yeah, they are really terrifying. The time has moved forward. Now is the era for young people."
Originally, Mifune thought that his era had not passed yet.
But seeing the duel between Tetsuken and Kakashi at this time, Mifune knew that his era might have already ended.
Neither one of these two is weaker than him and they may even be stronger.
The same blow, the three ships are not sure to be able to take it intact.
With the attack just now, Mifune was not sure if he would be able to take it intact.
Although their attack seems to be fierce, Mifune can feel that the breath of these two is not chaotic. He knew that both of them still have strength left.
Kakashi stood on the stone wall, while Tetsuken floated up from the bottom of the water.
Kakashi then chuckled and said with a smile: "Tetsuken, after not seeing you for eight years, you really surprised me."
"Gintoki, I should be the one who said that. I didn't expect that you are still so bottomless now. My powerful move after gathering strength was actually crushed by your instant move." Tetsuken said solemnly.
"Well, enough talking, let's continue!"
Shunpo!
Kakashi's speed soared!
With such speed, Kakashi is leaving afterimages!
Tetsuken was startled, his eyes moved, and Lake Toya in his hand swung out!
Ding!
Lake Toya actually blocked Millennium Sword's attack!
Kakashi was slightly startled, and backed away.
'His reaction speed is so good. I didn't expect he can see through the trajectory of my attack so easily.' Kakashi secretly thought.
A smile appeared at the corner of Tetsuken's mouth, and said: "Shunpo? Gintoki, you are not the only one who can use it."
Kakashi was taken aback when he heard this. But, before he can react, Tetsuken's figure disappeared!
"Shunpo?"
Kakashi was shocked, and then, a silver-white sword slashed out from behind Kakashi!
At this moment, Kakashi seemed to have eyes growing behind his back. Millennium Sword moved towards his back, and then blocked the slash from Lake Toya!
Kakashi then quickly retreated and distanced himself from Tetsuken.
Seeing this, Mifune smiled and said: "Tetsuken's Shunpo is quite good."
Kakashi was surprised at first, and then he finally understands.
"I should have thought that since you were accepted as Mifune-san's student, you should also have learned Shunpo."
"Of course, but having said that, this footwork is really difficult." Tetsuken complainly said.
Kakashi just smiled when he heard this. After all, if Shunpo was so easy to learn, it would already be used by a lot of people.
Although Mifune taught Shunpo to Tetsuken, Kakashi didn't have any negative emotions.
Although Shunpo was first created by White Fang, since White Fang taught Mifune about this, Mifune was naturally qualified to teach it to others.
Moreover, Kakashi also learned Shunpo from Mifune.
Mifune is not the kind of people who would conceal secret skills. He was very willing to teach Kakashi and Tetsuken.
After all, one is the son of the deceased old friend, and the other is his own student.
"I was just surprised just now, that's why you almost got me. But now, I am afraid you will not have such good luck anymore. Although it is the same Shunpo, there is still a big difference when we used it." Kakashi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Tetsuken was a little surprised.
He also knew that Kakashi was caught off guard just now. When it comes to Shunpo's mastery, Tetsuken knew that even Mifune didn't dare to say that he is better than Kakashi.
After all, Kakashi has been practicing Shunpo for fifteen years.
During this period, apart from mastering the basics of Shunpo that he learned from Mifune, Kakashi also improved this footwork by a lot.
Shunpo is indeed a godly skill that uses the power of the flesh, but because it only uses the power of the flesh, it has an upper limit.
To break through this upper limit, one of the way is to make their physique stronger, and the other is to combine Chakra with this skill.
It is difficult to strengthen physique once it has reached a certain level.
Therefore, combining Chakra with Shunpo is the most feasible way to strengthen it.
Kakashi tried to combine Shunshin with Shunpo.
Speaking of Shunshin no Jutsu, the strongest users among the people Kakashi knew were Minato and Shisui.
It is a pity that Minato has already died. Therefore, Kakashi can only asked Shisui for this.
Given the relationship between Kakashi and Shisui, it is natural for them to help each other.
"Come on, show me how fast you are." Tetsuken shouted.
"As you wish!"
Kakashi said softly, and then moved his feet. As he was about to move his feet, Lightning Chakra Attributes instantly gathered on his feet!
Lightning Shunpo!
Boom!
The surface of the water burst and caused a splash of water as Kakashi's figure disappeared!
Tetsuken's pupils shrank and then he exclaimed: "How is it possible! I can't even see his silhouette at all!"
Not only Tetsuken, but even the Mifune, Osuke, and the second elder who watched the battle did not see Kakashi's silhouette at all.
"This… what is going on?"
Osuke murmured.
Unfortunately, no one answered his question.
After just a few moments, Kakashi suddenly appeared in front of Tetsuken.
Tetsuken was taken aback and couldn't response at all!
Kakashi just chuckled and disappeared again.
The lightning at his foot didn't make a sound at all!
"This…" Tetsuken said in surprise.
"Tetsuken, it's over."
Kakashi's voice came from behind Tetsuken. When Tetsuken reacted, he only felt a cold feeling in his neck, and the cold blade of Millennium Sword was already on his neck.
Tetsuken could even clearly feel that all of his own hairs were standing upright, and he also felt his scalp tingling.
'What a very terrifying speed! He's just like a ghost!'
Tetsuken didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to react to Kakashi's speed at all!

Chapter 420 – Sasori's Poison
The waves were rippling, and Tetsuken's face was pale.
Kakashi gently retracted the Millennium Sword and put it back into its scabbard.
This scabbard was used when Kakashi first came to the Land of Iron back then, and has been placed in the seal scroll ever since.
Until this time, he remembered about it and then used it when he entered the Land of Iron again.
Tetsuken smiled bitterly, and said: "I lost, with you having such speed, my swordsmanship was unable to defeat you. I didn't expect that after eight years of hard work, I would still be inferior to you."
Hearing this, Kakashi smiled and said: "You are making progress, so I naturally won't just stand still."
"Yeah, that's true, but I still can't see where your limit is." Tetsuken said helplessly.
"In your opinion, I may be already invicible, but in my opinion, it is still not enough." Kakashi looked at Tetsuken and said.
Tetsuken was taken aback for a moment and asked: "Kakashi, where is your goal?"
Kakashi looked at the sky and said, "Maybe it is on the other side of the sky."
Tetsuken was even more puzzled after hearing this.
"It seems that the outcome has been decided." Mifune said softly.
Osuke nodded and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect Tetsuken would lose. That Kakashi is outrageously strong."
Mifune laughed and said: "Yeah, he is outrageously strong. Just by relying on swordsmanship, he can already be equal to Tetsuken. After using that improved version of Shunpo, he can crush Tetsuken easily. I really wonder what it would be like if such a person use all of his strength."
"Mifune-sama, you mean… his strength has reached the pinnacle of this Shinobi World?" Osuke asked.
Mifune shook his head, and then nodded, making Osuke even more confused.
'It's shaking head, and then its nod, what is it mean?'
"Mifune-sama, what do you…"
"It is still too early to call him the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, but in the Shinobi World right now, I can't think of anyone who can defeat him in a one-on-one battle." said Mifune.
Osuke was taken aback. He understood what Mifune means is that even if Kakashi was not the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, he wouldn't be far off from it.
Of course, this is only in their opinion.
Kakashi has never thought so.
When the second elder who is in the distance saw Tetsuken was defeated, his expression became furious, and then he yelled angrily: "That waste!"
Immediately, the second elder rushed towards the battle location and leaped, landing in front of Tetsuken and Kakashi.
"Jii-san?" Tetsuken was taken aback when he saw this.
Kakashi is not surprised at all.
With his perception, he naturally knew there were people watching him here.
Not long after the second elder landed, dozens of Samurai also jumped into the sky and landed behind the second elder.
Tetsuken was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Jii-san, what are you doing?"
"Hmph, you waste. You actually lost to this person from Hatake Clan. Not only did you fail to get revenge for your father, but you also embarrassed the Hokubu Clan! I really disappointed teaching you for so many years!" The second elder said sharply.
"Jii-san, why are you still thinking about those useless reputations! Can the Hokubu Clan remain undefeated? Back then Konoha's White Fang, and now Konoha's strongest Shinobi, Hatake Kakashi. Do you know what kind of expert these two people are? Is it really unacceptable for the Hokubu Clan to lose to them?" Tetsuken shouted.
"No! No matter who is it! We should never allow them to defeat our Hokubu Clan!" said the second elder looked at Tetsuken viciously and said.
That expression didn't look like a grandfather look at his grandson, but a person looking at an enemy.
Tetsuken shook his head in disappointment and said: "Jii-san, Clan Head, the first elder and the third elder have already let go of this grudge. Why are you still so persistent?"
"Hmph, they are all traitors of the Hokubu Clan. They already forget the glory of the Hokubu Clan! They are all bastards! Tetsuken, you are my grandson, you should listen to me and kill all those traitors of the Hokubu Clan. By then, I will be able to lead the Hokubu Clan to a higher peak!"
"Jii-san…"
"Hmph, don't talk. I will only ask you a question, now, would you obey my order and kill this Hatake Kakashi?"
"Jii-san, even if I am willing to obey your order, I can't beat Gintoki. You have just seen it, right?" Tetsuken said helplessly.
The second elder looked at Kakashi upon hearing this, and sneered: "Hatake Kakashi, you are exactly the same as that White Fang back then, whether it is from the appearance or the swordsmanship."
"Thank you for the praise." Kakashi said with a smile.
"But even if you are strong, it is useless. It's almost the time. Do you feel some pain in your chest now?" The second elder said with a sneer.
Kakashi was shocked when he heard this. His chest is indeed aching right now.
"This… how do you know?" Kakashi asked in surprise.
"Haha, of course I know. Do you remember the cup of tea you drink this morning?"
Kakashi was surprised and said, "Did you…!"
"Yeah! I put a strong poison into that tea! This poison is something I spent a lot of effort to obtain from Sunagakure's missing-nin, Sasori of the Red Sand. You should feel proud to make me give this poison to you."
When Kakashi heard this, he coughed and a bit of blood was spurted out from his mouth. After that, he half-kneeled on the ground with a painful expression on his face.
"You… despicable!"
The second elder laughed at Kakashi's words and said: "Hahaha, only the winner has the power to say who is despicable, the loser is not qualified!"
Tetsuken was shocked when he saw this and quickly helped Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, are you okay?"
Kakashi can only shook his head, as it seemed it is too painful for him to say a word.
Seeing this, Tetsuken was anxious, and said to the second elder: "Jii-san, hurry up and hand over the antidote!"
The second elder sneered, and said: "Do you think that a character like Sasori of the Red Sand would prepare an antidote for his own poison? This is a poison without any cure! Kakashi will die here!"
"You! You are too much!" Tetsuken roared furiously. The anger that had originally accumulated against the second elder broke out at this moment!
"Hmph, what a useless grandson! You actually dare to talk to me like this! Sure enough, it is impossible to expect you to kill Kakashi. You brat is just like your father, just a waste! Actually speaking for the enemy!" The second elder said angrily.
Tetsuken was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Tou-san?"
"Hmph! That's right, your silly father! After losing to White Fang, not only he did not think about how to get revenge, but he also praised him very much, saying what great Shinobi White Fang is, it's ridiculous! He also prevented me from chasing White Fang down, and finally died at home. He is the greatest shame of my Hokubu Clan in a century!"
Tetsuken was shocked when he heard this and muttered: "Then… why did tou-san died in depression?"
"Died in depression? Hahaha, let me tell you, your father was imprisoned by me and starved to death! As a disobedient chess piece, there is no need for him to live anymore!"
"What? How could it be!" Tetsuken was so shocked that he can only stood there blankly, completely unable to believe what he had heard at this moment.
"Even tiger would never hurt his own child. How can you treat your son like that?" At this time, Kakashi muttered.
The second elder snorted coldly and said, "Who told you that he is my son? He's just a pawn that I took from my dead brother! What qualifications does he have to be my son? He's just a waste. Nothing!"

Chapter 421 – Ambush
"What!"
Hearing this, Tetsuken felt another heavy hammer hit his heart.
In an instant, his worldview was collapsing!
It turned out that this old man who was always so harsh on him was not his real grandfather.
No wonder Tetsuken never saw the slightest warmth in his eyes. There are only disdain and indifference when he looked at him.
No matter how well Tetsuken did something, his grandfather has never shown any slightest encouragement.
On the contrary, if Tetsuken did something wrong, he would be scolded. Even his grandfather would beat him severely some times.
Tetsuken can't remember how many times he has been beaten.
He only remembered that since he was alive, the days with injuries on his body were longer than the days without injuries.
At that time Tetsuken comforted himself that his grandfather was doing that for his own good, in order to avenge his father.
Therefore, he has to work hard so that he can defeat the name that is pressing on him like a mountain.
Hatake Sakumo, Konoha's White Fang.
But after hearing the news of the death of Konoha's White Fang, he originally thought that his grandfather would just let it go, but he didn't.
His life has not improved.
His life is still like hell.
Because his grandfather told himself that White Fang has a son, and his goal is to defeat him.
Therefore, Tetsuken continued to work hard until today.
However, Tetsuken didn't expect that the so-called revenge was just a conspiracy of this so-called grandfather.
His father did not die in depression at all, but died in the hands of this old guy.
It was simply because his father did not act according to his wishes after losing to White Fang.
"How can this be." Tetsuken muttered to himself while standing there blankly, as his worldview has collapsed at this moment.
"Look at you, you're a waste just like your father!" The second elder said coldly.
"You bastard!" Tetsuken burned in anger and slashed at the second elder.
The second elder snorted coldly and drew out his sword to block the Tetsuken's attack.
"Hmph, you must be tired after fighting against that Hatake Kakashi, right? Do you think you can beat me in that condition? Whimsical!"
"Damn! You bastard!" Tetsuken screamed exhaustedly, and then slashed his sword again.
"Hmph, idiot!"
The second elder said. He stretched out his right hand, directly grabbed the hilt of Lake Toya, and snatched it away.
Then, his left palm was directly slammed into Tetsuken's chest!
'Urgh!'
Tetsuken groaned and then cough a mouthful blood!
"Grab that Tetsuken for me!" The second elder shouted.
"Yes!"
Two people coming out of the group behind him, and then, these two hold the injured Tetsuken.
At this time, Mifune and Osuke has arrived at Kakashi's side, and looked at the second elder.
Mifune opened his mouth and said: "Tetsujin, those are old things, why are you still holding grudge? And, what do you want to do to my student?"
"Hahaha, old things? No matter how long it has been, I will never forget the humiliation left by that White Fang. Even if he is already dead, I want his son to make atonement for him! As for your student, rest assured, I will not hurt him. After all, he is your student, the future leader of the Land of Iron, and also my lovely grandson."
Mifune frowned upon hearing this, and said coldly: "Tetsujin, you should not go too far. I still have the final say in this Land of Iron!"
"Oh? Is that so? If you die here with Hatake Kakashi today, guess who will become the leader of the Land of Iron?" The second elder said with a sneer.
Mifune was taken aback, and said, "What do you want to do!"
"Well, you have just asked such a stupid question. Why do you think I come here? Did you think it's just for Hatake Kakashi? Of course not. I'm also here for you. As long as you die, Tetsuken will become the new leader of the Land of Iron. By then, I will be able to control the Tetsuken and with that, the entire Land of Iron!" The second elder said crazily.
"What a big tone! I wonder where you find the confidence to kill me!" Mifune said coldly.
"Do you think I came here without preparation?" The second elder said with a sneer.
"Huh?" Mifune was slightly startled, and felt something was wrong.
"Everyone, do it." The second elder muttered.
Immediately, in addition to the dozen or so Samurai behind the second elder, a large number of Samurai appeared around the Iron Canyon.
"This… how is it possible?" Mifune said in shock.
"These are the men I have secretly nurtured for so many years to kill you. You should feel honored to get this treatment."
The second elder said, holding Lake Toya in one hand, and take the seriously injured Tetsuken who were held by the two Samurai in the other, and then withdrew away.
Upon seeing this, Mifune shouted: "Do you think you can run!"
Mifune and Osuke then rushed forward, trying to catch the second elder.
It's just that they're too late.
The dozen or so Samurai behind the second elder drew out their swords one after another and then block Mifune and Osuke.
"Damn it!" Osuke snarled. The dozen or so Samurai in front of him were not weak. Even he and Mifune needed some time to break through them.
The second elder, who was holding Tetsuken, has already gotten far away.
Looking at Mifune and Osuke who were still fighting hard, and the half-dead Kakashi, there was a cruel smile formed on the corner of the second elder's mouth.
The second elder released Tetsuken who was in his left hand. He then raised his left hand high, and shouted: "Do it!"
With that one order, more than a hundred men around the Iron Canyon threw out a large number of kunai, and each kunai was wrapped with an explosion tag!
"Go to hell!" The two elders said joyfully.
Hundreds of kunai with the explosion tag rushed straight to the Kakashi and others who were on the surface of the water. Of course, the others also included a dozen or so Samurai brought by the second elder.
The second elder didn't care about the life and death of these Samurai, and used their lives to hold Mifune and Osuke!
Mifune and Osuke, who were swinging their sword, finally saw the kunai with the explosion tag that came all over the sky!
"It's bad!" Mifune said in surprise.
As soon as the voice fell, more than hundreds of kunai with the explosion tag has already fallen!
Boom boom boom!
The terrifying explosion sounded!
Hundreds of explosion tags are so powerful that they are almost as strong as Deidara's C2 bomb.
There were countless splashes on the water instantly, and likewise, countless flesh and blood splattered around!
The sound of screams resounded throughout the Iron Canyon!
Upon seeing this, Tetsuken roared: "No!"
However, it didn't have any effect.
The second elder laughing loudly and then said: "Hahaha, everything in the Land of Iron is mine! Mifune, Kakashi, you are all the stepping stones on my road to success! Hahaha!"
"Really? You sure are very confident."
An indifferent voice sounded from behind the second elder. Hearing this, the second elder couldn't help but surprised, and turned his head quickly. He then saw a scene that shocked him.
The silver-white hair, fluttering in the wind, looked extremely cold.
With a move of his right hand, Kakashi took back Lake Toya in second elder's hand in an instant, and then said coldly: "You don't deserve to touch it."

Chapter 422 – Life Is Like A Play
The second elder was horrified and exclaimed: "Why are you still fine? Impossible, once that poison entered your body, you shouldn't have any chance to survive!"
Kakashi chuckled lightly and said with a smile: "Why? It's very simple. I didn't drink that cup of tea at all."
"What! How is this possible!" The second elder's face was full of disbelief.
"As a Shinobi, and the Anbu Commander, it will be a huge joke if I was poisoned like that." Kakashi said with a sneer.
…
Back to the time in the morning.
Kakashi got up early and stretched his body.
"Ahh, what a comfortable sleep." Kakashi lazily scratched his silver hair and got up from the bed.
He habitually touched the mask on his face, but found out that he is a Samurai at this time, so he didn't wear the mask on his face.
After wearing it in Konoha for a long time, he felt a little weird after not wearing it.
Kakashi left his room and came to the inn's dining place.
"Boss, a bowl of rice, a grilled saury, and a cup of strong tea, thank you."
"Okay, please wait a moment sir."
Kakashi sat in the dining place and waited for the breakfast.
After a while, a waiter came over with the breakfast and said: "Sir, this is your breakfast."
"Thank you."
"No need, please take your time."
The waiter left after speaking.
Kakashi picked up the chopsticks and was preparing to enjoy his breakfast. But suddenly, his nose moved and he smelled an unusual scent.
"This scent…"
Kakashi was surprised in his heart. But on the surface, his expression didn't change. He picked up the teacup with his right hand and moved it in a gesture like he drank it. In fact, he just gets it near his nose and sniffed it lightly.
'This faint scent, it is poisonous.'
Kakashi secretly thought in his heart, but there is no change in his face.
'It seems that my visit this time is really not peaceful. Maybe my plan can go smoother.'
Kakashi thought of this in his heart, and drank the poisonous tea without any scruples. Of course, it didn't enter Kakashi's stomach at all.
…
"What? You discovered it? Damn, I really underestimate you." The second elder said angrily.
Kakashi chuckled and said nothing.
And Kakashi's behind is Mifune and Osuke.
Just when the exploding tag was about to explode, Kakashi grabbed Mifune, and Osuke and then used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique), to teleport to the mark he had put on Tetsuken, and fled from the explosion radius.
Osuke looked a little shocked, but Mifune didn't seem to have any shocked expressions at all.
"Kakashi, you really are good at waiting. You didn't do anything until the last second. I almost thought it was real." Mifune said with a smile.
Kakashi is also smiled and said: "Well, I need to act well. After all, if you want to fool your opponents, you must first fool your allies."
"Haha, good words." Mifune praised.
At this time, except for Kakashi and Mifune, the rest of the people were all confused.
'What are these two people talking about?'
Seeing that Kakashi and the others were all right, Tetsuken was first overjoyed, and then, after listening to the conversation between the two, he fell into even more doubt.
"What do you mean Gintoki?" asked Tetsuken.
Kakashi looked at Tetsuken then looked at the angry second elder again, and said, "It's very simple. All of what happened today is just to bring out the fox tail of the second elder."
"What?" The second elder was surprised again.
"To explain it, we should go back to eight years ago. After the Samurai Conference ended, Mifune-san told me the grudge between my father and the Hokubu Clan. At that time, I actually had a question in my heart. My father was not a soft-hearted person. If Tetsuken's father's character is really as what Mifune-san told me, then Tetsuken's father would definitely be killed by my father, and even the Hokubu Clan will surely suffer heavy casualties."
"But it turned out that my father let them go. Not only Hokubu Clan, as even Tetsuken's father escaped was spared by my father. This made me feel very confused. I thought that either Mifune-san lied to me, or there was something more about it. But when I talked to Tetsuken, what he told me is also the same as what Mifune-san told. So, I know that Mifune-san didn't lie to me, and there must something more about this thing."
"In the past few years, I have always sent people to investigate this matter. Perhaps it has been too long, and even I have forgotten a bit. But before I am about to leave this time, I asked again about the investigation of this matter. The person responsible for this matter finally found the truth and told me about it."
Kakashi said, looking at the second elder who was shocked, and then continued.
"That person told me that after the duel between my father and Tetsuken's father, their relationship was quite good and there was actually no contradiction between them. However, the second elder of Hokubu Clan was ashamed because of this loss and not only used Tetsuken's father to trap and kill my father, but also forced him to participate in his plan. However, Tetsuken's father refused, so their plan also failed. Instead, my father countered by going to the headquarters of the Hokubu Clan. In the end, Tetsuken's father was the one who pleaded my father to let the Hokubu Clan go. It's just that they have to stay secluded for twenty-five years."
"Later, Tetsuken's father was punished by the second elder of Hokubu Clan, and finally died with unknown reason. The second elder claimed that he died in depression, but the person I sent to investigate said that the person who handled his corpse at that time saw that the corpse was obviously yellowish and thin, with no flesh, and starved to death!"
Tetsuken's face became even bleaker when he heard Kakashi's explanation.
"Gintoki, why didn't you tell me about it?"
"I haven't figured out how to tell you, and, as soon as I came to the Land of Iron, I went to Mifune-san, and Mifune-san invited me to participate in a plan, so I can't tell you about it. After listening to Mifune-san's plan, I decided to tell you in this way, and maybe, I can make you believe it more."
Tetsuken frowned and asked: "What plan?"
"Let me explain." Mifune stepped forward and said: "These days, I found Hokubu Tetsujin, that is, your grandfather, the second elder in front of us, made small moves in the Land of Iron very frequently. According to my information, I know that he seems to have a plan and secretly nurtured some people. It seems that he was aiming at Kakashi."
"However, under my careful investigation, I found out that it is not that simple. Tetsujin was sending people to infiltrate all aspects of the Land of Iron. At that time, I knew how big the Tetsujin's ambition was. I knew that if Kakashi and I were to appear outside of the Land of Iron at the same time, Tetsujin will definitely be unable to hold back and went to kill me and Kakashi together. This will not only for revenge, but also to seize the Land of Iron. So, after I met Kakashi, I told him about it."
Kakashi then added: "Yeah, I also told Mifune-san about the information I got, so we both made this plan."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he looked at the second elder whose face was already extremely ugly, and smiled: "You must feel that something is very strange. Why did you say all of the secrets easily? It is because I have been using subtle Genjutsu to you all the time to make you confess about all of that matter."
"Damn guy! How dare you do that to me!" The second elder was furious. He was still wondering just now about why he suddenly said everything.
As for why Kakashi can use subtle Genjutsu without using Sharingan, this is all thanks to Shisui's teaching.
As the strongest Genjutsu user, he didn't only rely on Sharingan to use Genjutsu.
Tetsuken didn't say a word when he heard all of this, and stood still on the spot.
Kakashi patted Tetsuken's shoulder and said, "I know it's cruel to you, but when it's time to face it, you still have to face it."
"Gintoki…" Tetsuken muttered. For more than 20 years, he has never been as helpless as he is now.
At this moment, he felt that his original beliefs have collapsed in an instant.
The world has changed, becoming completely different from what he knew.
Seeing Tetsuken's expression, Kakashi knew that he has fallen into confusion.
Kakashi sighed and said softly: "Since you can't make a decision, let me help you. It doesn't matter even if you hate me later."
Kakashi said, pushing the iron sword aside and looked at the second elder.
"Now, the story is over.. Let's now settle the accounts between us."

Chapter 423 – Old Grudges Gone
Just as Kakashi's gaze was placed on the second elder, the second elder couldn't help but being startled, and quickly stepped back, and at the same time, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, attack!"
In an instant, all of the second elder's subordinates swarmed down!
They then landed between the second elder and Kakashi.
Seeing this, Kakashi sneered and said: "Naive, it seems that you still don't know anything about me."
Pulling the Millennium Sword out of its scabbard with his right hand, Kakashi coldly looked at the swarming the second elder and his subordinates.
"Kakashi, do you need help?" asked Mifune.
Kakashi shook his head and said, "Mifune-san, just take care of Tetsuken. It will just take a few seconds for me to finish all of them."
After Kakashi finished speaking, there was a sudden movement under his feet, and lightning suddenly appeared!
Lightning Shunpo!
The electric arc kept flashing under his feet, and Kakashi's figure turned into Lightning.
It was like a lightning rushing into the crowd of the second elder's subordinates, and then what came out were screams of pain!
"Argh!"
The blood splattered, dyeing the water scarlet.
With one cut, one life was reaped.
In just a few moments, more than a hundred of them were killed!
Mifune and the others were surprised when they saw this. After all, Kakashi's speed of reaping lives was really terrifying.
They once heard that it is rumored that Konoha's Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato can cut dozens of Shinobi's throat in just a blink of an eye, but they have never seen it.
But now, they have seen someone else who has the same ability.
They just don't know who between the two was faster.
Kakashi broke through the blockade of men, and once again saw the second elder.
There was no trace of blood on his snow-white windbreaker.
The second elder was extremely horrified.
At this moment, he finally felt the terrifying power of Kakashi that was famous in the Shinobi World.
That is not bragging, nor is it an exaggerated strength.
"This… How is this possible! Didn't the battle with Tetsuken deplete your strength? You obviously have used powerful moves in that battle." The second elder said in disbelief.
"Deplete? Of course my strength was depleted, but my remaining strength is enough to deal with you." Kakashi said lazily.
The enemy in front of him really made Kakashi unable to have any interest.
After facing a powerful enemy like Uchiha Madara, such a weak enemy can no longer make Kakashi feel any sense of crisis.
"Damn it, don't underestimate me. I am the second elder of the Hokubu Clan!"
The second elder yelled and drew out the sword with his hand. A weak amount of pressure is accumulating in his blade.
Kakashi was slightly surprised, but it's only slightly.
"North Star Secret Sword Technique: North Star Slash!"
The same move appeared in the hands of the second elder, but it seemed a lot weaker than the one Tetsuken used.
"Boring."
Kakashi muttered, and then the Millennium Sword moved and pierced the second elder's right shoulder!
"Argh!"
The second elder screamed in pain, and the sword that he was holding with his right hand dropped instantly.
The sword technique that had been used halfway came to an abrupt end.
The Millennium Sword moved again, and cut through the body of the second elder.
"Argh!"
The second elder screamed again, looking at Kakashi with gaze that was filled with half blame, and half fear.
"Hatake Kakashi!"
The second elder screamed angrily.
His years of painstaking efforts have been completely wasted in just one day. Now, even his life is in the others' hands. This feeling is completely unacceptable for the second elder of Hokubu Clan who has always been so haughty.
'What went wrong? Everything obviously went perfectly.'
At this time, Tetsuken seemed to finally snap back, and shouted: "Stop!"
Kakashi was taken aback after hearing that, and stopped the Millennium Sword that was cutting the second elder's body.
Tetsuken seemed to recover a little, and landed in front of Kakashi.
"Tetsuken, you…"
"Gintoki, although he did a lot of wrong things, he was the one who raised me after all, and I…can't do it." Tetsuken said in distress.
"As expected of my good grandson, this old man didn't raise you in vain." The second elder held back the pain in his chest and said happily.
Tetsuken looked at the second elder coldly, and said: "Jii-san, this is the last time I will call you that. From now on, you and I didn't have any relationship anymore. I will report your actions to the Clan Head. When the time comes, you will definitely be expelled from the Hokubu Clan!"
"What? You actually want to do that to me?" said the second elder.
"You asked for all this." Tetsuken sighed and said.
At this time, Kakashi said: "Tetsuken, you should know that you don't owe him anything."
"No, Gintoki, I owe him. After all, he's the one who raised me."
"Tetsuken, if someone kills your biological father and mother, will you take revenge?" Kakashi asked.
"Of course I will take revenge." Tetsuken without the slightest hesitation said.
"Well, if someone raises you up with the mentality of using you, will you repay him with your kindness?"
"This…" Tetsuken hesitated.
"You can't answer? If someone uses your parents, then kills your parents, and then raises you up to finally use you, would you still look at that person with gratitude? Or would it be hatred?" Kakashi finished speaking, and then looked straight at Tetsuken's eyes.
"This…"
Tetsuken was even more speechless at this time, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing Tetsuken seemed to be hesitant, the second elder who had been silent for a while suddenly moved and shouted angrily: "Go to hell!"
The sword in his right hand was stabbed towards Tetsuken's body!
Tetsuken groaned and looked back at the second elder in disbelief.
The second elder snorted coldly and said: "If I die, I will at least pull you with me!"
Hearing this, the hesitation in Tetsuken's eyes gradually faded, and replaced with a hint of relief.
'With this, maybe I don't have to worry about it anymore. It's just that tou-san's hatred…' Tetsuken secretly thought, but the consciousness has gradually blurred.
Kakashi, Mifune and Osuke never thought that such a situation would happen, and they were all horrified.
The second elder has probably already gone mad, so he would do such a thing.
"Go to hell! You old bastard!"
Kakashi yelled and slapped the Millennium Sword's hilt with his right hand. The Millennium Sword instantly flew like a meteor and penetrated the second elder's body.
The grudging expression on the second elder's face hadn't completely receded, and he has lost all the breath of life.
"Tetsuken !"
Kakashi held the weakening Tetsuken with his eyes full of anger.
He did not expect that the second elder could actually fight back to death.
Tetsuken looked at Kakashi and said with a smile: "Kakashi … you know … I felt that my whole life … is a failure … it turns out that everything … is just his conspiracy. It's ridiculous when I think about it. "
"Tetsuken, the past is over, you still have a future."
"Future? It's just that… I don't know what to do… to pursue it." Tetsuken murmured, before closing his eyes.
"Tetsuken!" Kakashi hurriedly called, but Tetsuken didn't respond at all.
'Damn, that sword seems to have injured his lungs. It must be treated quickly!'
Kakashi secretly thought in his heart. Then, while holding Tetsuken in his hands, Kakashi disappeared from that place.
Mifune and Osuke were both taken aback when they saw this, and Osuke asked: "Where is Kakashi going to? Is Tetsuken gonna be okay?"
Mifune pondered for a while, and said: "I think that he is bringing Tetsuken back to Konoha. After all, the injury caused by Tetsujin's sword is very serious. I am afraid that only Tsunade from Konoha can heal it."
"I hope Tetsuken is okay." Osuke sighed and said.
Looking at the body of the second elder, Mifune sighed tiredly: "Power is really harmful."

Chapter 424 – A Journey To Find The Meaning Of Life
In the Hokage Tower, Kakashi quickly rushed in with Tetsuken on his arms.
"Tsunade-sama!" Kakashi hurriedly called.
At this moment, Tsunade is busy with her paperwork, and Shizune is holding Tonton. Seeing the door open, they looked at the door at the same time.
They are all familiar with the person who came in. After all, he's the Konoha's Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi.
But his appearance at this moment is a bit strange to them.
A handsome face with a beauty mole on the corner of his mouth.
Tsunade was slightly astonished, and for a moment, she didn't even notice Tetsuken who is in Kakashi's arms.
Shizune was also surprised, and then two red blushed appeared on her cheeks.
"Kakashi?" Tsunade called tentatively.
Kakashi didn't pay attention to the reaction of the two women at this time, but said: "Tsunade-sama, this person is the leader of the Land of Iron, Mifune's student, Tetsuken. He is also the one who sent that letter of challenge. Because of a little accident, his lungs were stabbed. Please treat him, Tsunade-sama."
Kakashi said quickly, but his words were very clear, so Tsunade heard very clearly.
At this moment, she finally set her eyes on Tetsuken's body.
His back was bleeding, blood stained his clothes, and the depth of the wound was indeed not small.
"Okay, put him down and let me see." Tsunade said seriously.
At this time, her temperament is back to the Legendary Medical Shinobi.
When Kakashi heard this, he put down Tetsuken. Tsunade then examined him carefully.
Shizune's gaze is still on Kakashi's face, and the blushes on her face haven't faded yet.
Seeing Tsunade taking action, Kakashi was relieved. Kakashi knew that as long as the person is still alive and his organs are complete, there shouldn't be much problem for Tsunade to heal him.
So, with a relaxed mind, Kakashi finally felt the strange gaze looking at his face.
Kakashi turned his head in doubt, only to see Shizune, who was holding Tonton on the side, was looking at him.
Perhaps because she was discovered by Kakashi, Shizune looked a little embarrassed, but the blushes still remained on her face.
Kakashi touched his face subconsciously, and sure enough, he forgot to wear his mask.
Kakashi smiled helplessly, 'Well, anyway, there are already many people who have seen it, so I don't care about adding one more.'
Kakashi then took his mask out of his ninja bag and put it on again.
At this moment, Kakashi's appearance finally returned to his usual appearance as Konoha's Shinobi.
Shizune was a little disappointed when she saw this, but quickly calmed down and looked at Tetsuken who was being treated by Tsunade.
She saw that there is powerful green Chakra covering Tsunade's hands. That powerful green Chakra is the advanced Medical Ninjutsu, Shōsen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique) that only high-level Medical Shinobi can use.
It's just that when it's used by Tsunade, that Medical Ninjutsu is much stronger than when used by others.
When Tsunade's palm brushed Tetsuken's back, the wound that was still soaked with blood instantly covered with scab, and then, the scab fell off, revealing his white skin, as if he had never been injured.
A slight smile appeared on Kakashi's face when he saw this. He knew that Tetsuken is no longer in danger.
Tsunade stood up and said softly: "The sword has stabbed into the lungs, but it is still not too deep. I have used the Mystical Palm Technique to help him heal the wound, but because the wound is still very fragile, it will take him a few days to recuperate before he is completely healed."
"Sorry for the trouble, Tsunade-sama."
"It's fine, but it seems that a lot of things have happened to you in the Land of Iron."
Tsunade looked at Kakashi, especially the mask that was on his face.
"Things are like this …."
Kakashi explained about the matter of the Land of Iron for a little bit.
Tsunade and Shizune were slightly surprised when they heard this.
"I didn't expect the Land of Iron would have such trouble. But, after this, the Land of Iron should be able to become united," Tsunade said calmly.
"Yeah, Mifune-sama will take care of the rest."
"Okay, then take this Tetsuken to rest."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
Kakashi left Hokage Tower with Tetsuken. But, instead of going to the Konoha Hospital, he brought Tetsuken back to the Hatake Residence.
After all, going to Konoha Hospital requires all kinds of formalities, and with Kakashi's lazy temperament, he felt that it is too troublesome, so he naturally won't do it.
After all, Tetsuken's injuries have been already treated by Tsunade.
Tetsuken only needed to rest now.
Putting Tetsuken on his bed, Kakashi created a shadow clone to take care of him, and then used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to return to the Iron Canyon.
The Iron Canyon at this moment was livelier than before.
The people Mifune arranged earlier have already arrived at this time.
Of course, for them to only arrive after the battle, they can only help clean the battlefield.
The sudden appearance of Kakashi made everyone surprised. The people around who didn't know Kakashi pulled out their swords and put on a defensive stance.
Kakashi ignored them and pulled out the Millennium Sword that has been stuck on the stone wall after stabbing the second elder to death, and put it back to its scabbard.
There is the mark Hiraishin no Jutsu, which is why Kakashi was able to come back.
"Who are you!"
A samurai shouted at this moment.
Kakashi didn't answer as he saw Mifune walked over.
"Step back, he is an ally."
Hearing Mifune's words, all of the Samurai put away their swords and stepped back to continue cleaning the battlefield.
"Kakashi, How is Tetsuken?"
"He's fine now, but he hasn't woken up yet, so I get him to rest temporarily in Konoha."
"That's good, I'll trouble you."
Kakashi shook his head and said, "It's fine. By the way, I'll leave the matter here to you, Mifune-san. I'm going back first.
"Okay."
…
One day later.
Tetsuken opened his eyes in confusion, and saw a familiar figure.
"Gintoki?"
Tetsuken said softly.
Kakashi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Are you finally awake?"
"It seems that I'm not dead yet…" Tetsuken said faintly.
"It's not that easy to want to die."
"Thank you, Gintoki."
"Thank me for what?"
"First, thank you for saving me. Second, thank you for letting me know the truth. And third, thank you for being my friend."
Hearing this, Kakashi smiled and said: "Since we're a friend, there's no need to thank me anymore."
Hearing this, Tetsuken's pale face showed a hint of a smile.
'It's really a happy thing to have such a friend in this world.'
….
Two days later.
Konoha Gate.
"Tetsuken, are you going to return to the Land of Iron?"
Kakashi said as he looked at the man in a black samurai costume.
Tetsuken shook his head and said: "I don't plan to go back for a while. This incident has given me a great shock. There are still a lot of things I don't understand yet. Therefore, I need to understand these things before I can go back." "
"Have you said anything to Mifune-san?"
Hearing this, Tetsuken took out a letter from his pocket and said: "This is a letter I wrote to sensei. Sensei will definitely understand after reading it. Gintoki, please give this letter to sensei. I know you have a way."
Kakashi took the letter after hearing this.
"Well, since you have already decided, I won't say anything. The world is very big, so go out and have a look."
Tetsuken showed a relaxed smile and said: "Yeah, maybe I can find the meaning of my life. I hope that when we meet again next time, I can finally understand it all."
"I will be with you at any time." Kakashi said with a smile.
Tetsuken smiled when he heard Kakashi's words, and then turned and left, leaving Kakashi with his lonely back.
"Perhaps when I see Tetsuken again, he will be a completely different guy."
Kakashi muttered to himself as he looked at Tetsuken's back.

Chapter 425 – Yugakure
The Land of Hot Water, Yugakure, is famous for its numerous hot springs.
This is a rich Shinobi Village, and also a peace-loving Shinobi Village.
People in this village love peace so much that this village is called "the village that forgets war."
With the end of the Third Shinobi World War, Yugakure's combat power dropped sharply, and everyone in the village lived a peaceful life.
Rumor has it that the origin of Yugakure comes from a couple.
They accidentally got a secret scroll and learned a unique kind of Ninjutsu based on this, and established Yugakure with this.
But now, this village has been destroyed.
Hundreds of villagers, whether old or young, women and children, and weak or strong, all died.
No one knows who did it, only that when someone arrived there, there was already a mountain of corpses.
The Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water was shocked when he learned about it. After all, it was the Shinobi Village in his own country that has actually destroyed overnight. It is impossible to say that he is not afraid.
After comparing the registered population list of the village, they came to a conclusion that Yugakure was completely destroyed!
However, there is a registered Shinobi who no one sees his body yet.
The Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water felt that this Shinobi, in all likelihood, is the culprit.
But, so what if he knows it?
Now that the Land of Hot Water has lost their Shinobi Village, the first thing the Daimyo needed to do is to rebuild the village, not to investigate who the murderer is.
Even if the Daimyo knew who the murderer was, he couldn't get revenge by relying on the power of the Land of Hot Water.
Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water can only give up on it temporarily.
But soon, the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water regained his interest.
Because that Shinobi is still doing evil in the Land of Hot Water.
Also because he heard about an organization.
Akatsuki!
Only few people knew about this organization, but, it is said that they are extremely powerful.
They can do very well in what they were entrusted with, and they will not leak any news.
It was decided that he would hired this organization!
The Daimyo sent someone to contact the Akatsuki in a special way, and Akatsuki's representative is also quick to arrive at the Mansion of the Land of Hot Water's Daimyo.
The representative a woman.
And it's also a beauty.
She wears a black robe with red clouds printed on it, a light blue-purple hair, orange pupils, and a paper flower on the right side of her head.
She looks extremely beautiful.
It's just that her cold face would make people stop thinking about doing anything bad to her.
Her ice-cold's eyes tell them that she is definitely not a woman who they can offend.
"Daimyo-sama, I heard that you have a mission to entrust us, Akatsuki?"
Her ice-cold voice made the Daimyo shiver involuntarily.
The Daimyo dares to say that he has never seen such a terrifying woman in his life.
"Yes… I have a mission for your organization."
"Oh? What is it?" Konan said lightly, as if nothing could arouse her interest.
"It is like this. The Shinobi Village in the Land of Hot Water, Yugakure was destroyed. I suspect that it was done by a missing-nin from Yugakure called Hidan. I hope you can eliminate him. At the very least, I want him to never appear again in the Land of Hot Water."
After Konan heard this, she glanced at the Land of Hot Water's Daimyo, and said faintly: "Okay, it will be thirty million ryō."
"What? So expensive!" The Daimyo was shocked.
"It's absolutely worth the price as that Shinobi has destroyed a small Shinobi Village by himself," Konan said coldly.
The Daimyo gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, no problem."
"Then, happy cooperation."
When Konan finished speaking, pieces of papers suddenly appeared on her face, and her whole body turned into countless papers and disappeared from the Daimyo Mansion.
The Daimyo was shocked and he muttered to himself: "What a weird Ninjutsu, she really is a terrifying woman. Akatsuki? What kind of organization is this?"
The reason why the Land of Hot Water's Daimyo was looking for Akatsuki instead of looking for the help of the Five Great Shinobi Village, is in fact because he's afraid that the Five Great Shinobi Village will take the opportunity to invade and occupy the territory of the Land of Hot Water.
After all, the Land of Hot Water has just lost their Shinobi Village at this time. So their combat power has greatly reduced.
If the Five Great Shinobi Village really had that kind of mindset, he is afraid that the Land of Hot Water would have no way to resist.
Therefore, employing help from this kind of organization to do this is the best choice.
It is a pity that what the Land of Hot Water's Daimyo does not know is that the Five Great Shinobi Village simply look down on such a small country like the Land of Hot Water.
For the Five Great Shinobi Village, a small country like the Land of Hot Water is like a chicken rib. It is worthless to occupy and it is better to let it go. So when it is time to war, they can be used as a battlefield.
In this way, the impact on their own country can be reduced.
The Land of Rain, the tallest building.
"Pain, the Land of Hot Water's Daimyo has submitted a mission."
Konan looked at the cold man who looked exactly like Yahiko in front of her, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh? What mission." Pain said faintly, without any trace of emotion.
"He asked us to hunt down a Shinobi named Hidan. After I looked into it, I found that this Shinobi is very interesting. It seems that he has an ability to make his body immortal."
"Oh? Interesting ability. It happened that we are having a shortage of manpower again. That Kakuzu always kills his partner at every turn. Take Kakuzu with you. If that Hidan is a usable person, let him join Akatsuki."
"Yes, Pain, I'll contact Kakuzu." Konan said.
As Konan was just about to leave, Pain suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Konan asked in confusion.
"Call Itachi to go too. It happened that he has nothing to do during this time."
"Itachi?" Konan was even more puzzled. She didn't believe that she and Kakuzu can't take care of that Shinobi called Hidan. So she didn't understand why Pain asked to get Itachi too.
"Well, just take him with you. Itachi's ability and observation will help you finish that mission quickly," Pain explained.
Konan then said, "I understand, I will leave now."
Konan's body once again turned into countless of papers, and then flew away from that place.
Payne looked outside and saw that the sky became gloomy again, and the rain was dropping.
"What a disgusting rain, always reminding me of a lot of unpleasant things," Tendō Pain murmured.
The Land of Hot Water, Yugakure.
At this moment, a silver-white haired Konoha's Shinobi was looking at something.
This Shinobi is Kakashi who came here after handing Tetsuken's letter to Mifune.
Before going to duel Tetsuken, Tsunade handed over the task of investigating the destruction of Yugakure to Kakashi.
Now that the duel is over, Kakashi naturally came to complete his mission.
As for Mifune, after reading the letter, he just sighed and said nothing.
Kakashi frowned when he looked at the village in front of him that looked like a cemetery.
The corpses here have long been cleaned up by the people of the Land of Hot Water, and now there are only very few useful clues left.
"Let's go and see the corpse of the deceased, otherwise, I won't find anything."

Chapter 426 – Hidan
Kakashi turned into a streaming light and disappeared from that place.
However, a while after Kakashi disappeared, Yugakure ushered in three uninvited guests.
The newcomers wear same black robe with red cloud print, and the same cold face.
Two men and one woman. It seemed as if an invisible aura spread out from them.
Konan start to talk and said: "This is Yugakure."
"What a quiet village. Haha, I like this bloody smell."
With red sclera and green irides, the person who said this is Akatsuki's Treasurer, Kakuzu.
The last person looked very young, and it seems that he is only about twenty years old. There are two deep lines on his face, it not only didn't make him look weird, but it also increased his charm.
Konoha's forehead protector was worn on his forehead, but a horizontal line was craved on it.
If someone looked closely, they will see that the forehead protector on his head is very neat and tidy.
This person is naturally Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi looked at the destroyed Yugakure, and his eyes looked calm and composed.
"It seems that there is no one alive left, and even the corpses have been cleaned up." Itachi said faintly.
Konan looked at all around and said softly: "It should be the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water who order his people to clean it up. After all, if a large number of corpses weren't cleaned up for a while, it is easy for them to cause plague."
"Then it is meaningless for us to come here," Kakuzu said with a cold snort.
"Don't worry, I already have some information. After destroying Yugakure, that Hidan has been seen wandering around the Land of Hot Water, seemingly preaching a religion. If we pay more attention, we would be able to find this person soon." Said Konan.
"So it's like that. Then, let's get out of here," Kakuzu said.
"Wait a minute. Konan said that Hidan seems to have an immortal body, we should check this village first, and maybe we can find something here." Itachi said, and without waiting for the two to answer, he walked into the village first.
"Hmph, this guy really likes to take the initiative." Kakuzu said quite uncomfortably.
"Kakuzu, this time we came out here to find a suitable partner for you, so don't complain. You should also hold back a little. Within just a few years, four partners have died in your hands." Konan said as she looked at Kakuzu, and there is no trace of emotion in her eyes.
"I blame them for getting in the way. I hope this guy can let me play longer. Immortal body, hehe, it's really interesting."
After Kakuzu finished speaking, he also walked into the village.
Konan didn't care too much. Akatsuki right now only cares about people with ability and strength. As for those who died in vain, they are disposable.
Thinking of this, Konan's mood could not help but be a bit heavy.
'Akatsuki has changed now. Yahiko, is it really right for Nagato to do this? As for that guy who claims to be Uchiha Madara, I always think that he has a problem. But Nagato trusted him quite a bit. Yahiko, if you are still here, maybe things will not go to this point.'
These thoughts flowed through Konan's mind. Looking at the clear sky that was different from the Land of Rain, Konan suppressed the sudden flood of emotions and also walked into Yugakure.
At this moment, Kakashi has found the place where the corpses of the villagers in Yugakure are placed.
This is a funeral home, which has been filled with the corpses of nearly a thousand Shinobi and civilians of Yugakure.
Kakashi disguised himself as an employee of the funeral home and sneaked into it smoothly.
At this time, these corpses are being arranged for cremation one by one.
These are all unclaimed corpses, so the funeral home won't let it stay there for long. After all, if the corpses are left for a long time, various problems will occur. Even the stenches are enough to make people uncomfortable.
Kakashi sneaked into the morgue where the corpses were placed and examined it carefully.
When Kakashi looked at the corpse in front of him, he frowned slightly.
"This corpse has only one wound on his shoulder, which should have been chopped by a large weapon, but his fatal wound was a stabbed heart. Seeing the angle of the wound, it seems that this corpse is not stabbed from behind. He's stabbed from the front, and it seems to be stabbed diagonally from the right hand side. No, the more likely reason is that his own right hand was stabbing his own body with a weapon. Suicide? How could it be possible?"
"This corpse is not so complicated, he was only hacked to death by a large weapon. The blood on this body doesn't seem to be his own, and the dried blood on the clothes is also not his blood. Is it the murderer's?" "
Kakashi looked at the corpses of several Shinobi. Most of them were hacked to death by large weapons, and some of them were stabbed in the heart by sharp weapons.
"This way of killing people should be done by Hidan in all likelihood. Has this guy joined Akatsuki yet?"
Kakashi murmured and looked at the abnormal blood on the corpse.
Kakashi bit his thumb, and formed hand seals with both hands!
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" (Summoning Technique)
Bang!
In an instant, two ninja dogs appeared in front of Kakashi, it was Pakkun and Tetsuya.
"Yo, Kakashi," Pakkun exclaimed casually.
And Tetsuya respectfully exclaimed: "Kakashi-sama."
"Pakkun, Tetsuya, can smell the blood on this corpse to see if it's his own." Kakashi said, pointing at the corpse.
Hearing this, Pakkun said quite uncomfortably: "Kakashi, you, why did you want us to smell the blood on this corpse."
Kakashi smiled and said: "Sorry, sorry, I will give you large bones next time as compensation."
Hearing this, Pakkun's eyes lit up and he said: "Good."
Pakkun and Tetsuya then stepped forward to smell the blood, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Kakashi-sama, this blood is not the smell of the deceased." Tetsuya said first.
"Yeah, it's not, it is very different, so it is not difficult to identify." Pakkun added.
"Sure enough. Can you find the owner of this blood based on this smell?" Kakashi asked.
"No problem," Pakkun said confidently.
Tetsuya also nodded in the same way.
"Good, then let's go." Kakashi said with a smile.
The two dogs left the funeral home and rushed away after looking at a certain direction.
Somewhere in the Land of Hot Water, Hidan, who is wearing a furry hood and leather jacket, is walking boredly on the road.
Holding a huge triple-bladed scythe in his hand, he put it on his shoulder.
"Hah, it's really boring. No one understands the greatness of Jashin-sama like me. How can I spread the Jashinism like this? It's really distressing."
Hidan said, showing a tangled expression.
Hidan stopped, sighed, and then said, "Ah, what a trouble. Jashin-sama, I will continue to work hard!"
At this time, there was a figure appeared in front of Hidan, which was Kakashi who is wearing his Anbu Uniform.
"Huh? Who are you brat? You actually dare to stand in front of me, courting death!" Hidan yelled.
Kakashi looked at Hidan coldly and said.
"Yugakure's missing-nin, Hidan?"
Chapter 427 – Immortal
"Hmm? You know me? I don't know you, who is wearing a fox mask. Who are you?" Hidan said impatiently.
Kakashi did not answer Hidan's question, but instead asked: "Are you the one who destroyed Yugakure?"
"Hmm? You said Yugakure? That's me. Is there a problem? That kind of peaceful village is really annoying, Jashin-sama will not like it. Brat, I think you're pretty good, so why not join Jashinism like me and believe in Jashin-sama with me. Jashin-sama is the greatest god."
Hidan seems to have taken a fancy to Kakashi, and determined to invite him to join his religion.
After all, from Hidan's point of view, it was obviously not enough that he alone is serving Jashin.
And after travelling to so many places, Hidan did not find any suitable candidate, but now, he feels that Kakashi is quite suitable.
Hearing Hidan's invitation, Kakashi will naturally reject it.
However, Kakashi was still somewhat interested in Jashin that Hidan said.
Hidan's immortal body is said to be a successful experiment of the Jashinism's secret techniques, which is like a curse.
And this immortal body combined with Death Controlling Possessed Blood is very dangerous to his opponent.
As long as someone didn't know about Hidan's ability, they will be caught off guard.
After all, immortal body combined with Death Controlling Possessed Blood has completely transcended normal human's understanding.
Just imagine, as long as Hidan get his opponent's blood, he can kill him. This ability is simply a bug.
After all, no Shinobi dares to say that they never bleed.
However, since Kakashi knew about this ability, he naturally will not give Hidan the chance to get his blood.
"Sorry, I have no interest in your Jashinism."
"What? You dare to refuse my invitation! This is a great disrespect to Jashin-sama! I will sacrifice you to Jashin-sama so you can get enlightenment!"
Hearing Kakashi's rejection, Hidan was furious. Waving his triple-bladed scythe, he rushed towards Kakashi.
His huge triple-bladed scythe is to make it easier for him to obtain his opponent's blood.
Hidan's Taijutsu is not bad, but it is obviously not enough against Kakashi.
The Millennium Sword instantly appeared on his right hand, blocking Hidan's triple-bladed scythe.
Ding!
With a clashing sound, Hidan's triple-bladed scythe couldn't get near Kakashi's skin.
The force from Hidan's triple-bladed scythe was quite strong, but it was still within Kakashi's range.
Kakashi used force to push Hidan's triple-bladed scythe out, and Hidan also blown away.
Hidan landed and shouted: "Hmm? I didn't expect that your strength is quite good, to actually able to blow me away. But, it is still not enough!"
Hidan said, holding the metal cable that connected the triple-bladed scythe, and threw his weapon towards Kakashi.
When Kakashi saw this, he moved his sword to block it, but then, he saw that Hidan's triple-bladed scythe had turned in mid-air and attacked Kakashi's back.
Seeing this, Hidan was overjoyed, and secretly thought: "Success!"
Kakashi didn't look back at all. No one knows when, but he already finished forming hand seals.
"Hari Jizō!" (Needle Jizō)
Kakashi's silver-white hair stretched out instantly and turned extremely hard.
Hidan's triple-bladed scythe hit the hair, and it made a sound like clashing steel.
Ding!
Hidan's triple-bladed scythe bounced away again.
But this is not over yet.
Kakashi grabbed the Millennium Sword with his right hand, and Wind Chakra Attribute covered the blade, and then, he instantly cut the metal cable that was connected to the triple-bladed scythe.
With the sharpness brought by the Wind Chakra Attribute, the Millennium Sword easily cuts the metal cable.
"What!"
Hidan was shocked. He didn't expect Kakashi to instantly cut off the metal cable on his weapon.
It should be known that the metal cable is made of some kind of rare material and has great toughness.
It is not easy to cut it off.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Hidan became more furious. He put down the metal cable that was useless now, and took out another weapon of his.
A black spear that is about twenty centimeters in length.
With a light flick from Hidan, the spear's length instantly multiplied by more than six times.
"Damn fellow, I will definitely sacrifice you to Jashin-sama!"
Hidan said and then rushed towards Kakashi again.
At this moment, Kakashi suddenly frowned, and looked away at the distance.
'Someone's there!'
'It seems that there are strange people who are monitoring us right now. There are three people. Their presence is not weak. It seems that they are Akatsuki's member. One of them feels very familiar. Is it Itachi?'
These thoughts flashed in Kakashi's mind for a moment, and then, Hidan's attack has finally arrived.
Kakashi no longer hesitated, and used Shunpo. His figure disappeared instantly.
"Hmm? Where is that guy?"
Hidan looked at the empty field in front of him with a dazed expression, wondering where Kakashi has suddenly gone to.
In the next second, a sharp blade has penetrated Hidan's body!
"Argh!"
Hidan screamed, and saw a sword pierced from behind him and come out from his front.
Not far away, the three Akatsuki's members quietly looked at the scene.
"Hmph, this guy doesn't seem so good. His heart is so easily pierced by that Konoha's Anbu." Kakuzu said coldly.
"No, I am afraid that the matter is not over yet. Hidan is claimed to have an immortal body. That Anbu's strength is not weak. We can use him to see the extent of Hidan's so-called immortal body." Konan said coldly.
"Did he not die after being pierced in the heart? That becomes more interesting." Kakuzu said with a sneer.
When Itachi looked at Kakashi's figure, he frowned slightly, and thought in his heart: 'That Anbu's technique, and Ninjutsu. He should be Kakashi-senpai. But why is he here?'
However, Itachi knew that this is not the time to think about this, and it is better to watch quietly.
"You bastard! How dare you do this to me!"
Hidan roared, and the black spear in his hand pierced towards Kakashi's back.
Kakashi didn't stay there. He pulled out his sword and retreat.
There was another sharp pain with Kakashi pulling his sword, so Hidan roared again.
"Bastard! The damage you gave me, I will give it back to you double!"
Kakashi looks at Hidan, who is still alive and kicking, and can't help but wonder: 'This guy is really resistant. Although I already knew that he has an undead body, I didn't expect that he would be still okay after all that attack.'
Hidan looks at Kakashi in front of him and was quite distressed, 'This guy's Taijutsu is really good, and his speed is also very fast. How can I get his blood?'
Hidan's IQ is not high, so he couldn't find the answer.
However, Hidan chose to rely on his immortal body and rushed over again.
"Take this!"
The spear pierced towards Kakashi fiercely!

Chapter 428 – Death Controlling Possessed Blood
Ding!
The Millennium Sword blocked the black spear and slashed towards Hidan's arm!
Splat!
The blade cut through Hidan's flesh and his bone could be seen!
Hidan quickly backed away to save his arm.
"Bastard!!"
Hidan yelled, looking at Kakashi viciously, but he did not continue to act for a while.
Not far away, Kakuzu said coldly: "This guy named Hidan is a little too weak. He couldn't even fight back against an Anbu from Konoha. Can such a person join Akatsuki?"
"Kakuzu, it's not that Hidan is too weak, but that Konoha's Anbu is very strong. With silver-white hair, and such a neat swordsmanship, that person should be Konoha's Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi. Isn't that right, Itachi?" Konan said, looking at Itachi with a grim face.
Hearing this, Itachi said softly: "It should be him. In the Anbu, no one except him has such a feature."
"Oh? The legendary Anbu Commander? Interesting, I wonder how he is compared to Senju Hashirama."
Hearing this, Kakuzu looked at Kakashi curiously.
Long ago, Kakuzu had once fought against the Shodaime Hokage. Although he was defeated, he was able to escape with his life.
So Kakuzu now became more interested in Kakashi, as Kakashi is called the greatest genius in Konoha.
"Kakuzu, I advise you not to provoke that person. He is an existence you can't afford to provoke." Itachi said coldly.
"Oh? For him to get you make such an evaluation, I am becoming more and more curious about this guy." Kakuzu said quite disdainfully.
For him to escape with his life after fighting the Shodaime Hokage, Kakuzu naturally has extraordinary strength and skills.
Coupled with the fact that there are only few strong Shinobi left in this world, the only defeat he got after his fight with the Shodaime Hokage is probably when he lost against Pain.
This is the reason why Kakuzu is so confidence.
Although Kakashi is famous, in Kakuzu's opinion, Kakashi is not that great.
Konan said at this time: "Well, now is not the time to discuss this. After seeing this, we now know that Hidan's immortal body should be real. His Taijutsu is also not bad, and he was able to destroy a small village by himself. There should be more, we should wait and see."
Itachi said indifferently: "I am afraid we have been discovered already."
"That's right. You three, it's not a good habit to peek at me like that."
A cold voice sounded from the behind of the three. Both Konan and Kakuzu were shocked, but Itachi didn't look shocked at all.
When the three looked behind them at the same time, what caught their eyes were the Anbu's fox mask and the silver-white hair.
The three of them scattered instantly!
And then they landed not far away.
At this time, Kakashi, who was confronting Hidan, turned into smoke.
"Shadow clone?" Hidan murmured.
Konan looked at Kakashi who was on the tree, and said when frowning: "When did he? I even didn't perceive his presence until he talked."
"It seems that when he disappeared, he actually created a shadow clone to pierce Hidan and then hide his real body," Itachi said.
'For him to create a shadow clone and disappeared without us knowing, he is amazing.' Konan was secretly surprised.
"Hey, who are you three? Wearing the same robes, are you guys a band? That gloomy green-eyed big man should be the bassist. The blue-haired woman is the lead singer and keyboardist? No, the red-eyed guy looked more like a lead singer than the woman. Weird, how come I always meet strange people today."
Hidan pointed to the three Akatsuki's members who were not far away and complained.
"Hmph, this guy is so noisy. I really want to kill him." Kakuzu looked at Hidan and said coldly.
"Kakuzu, our enemy right now is not that Hidan, but this guy in front of us," Konan said.
"Hmph, to deal with him, do you want the three of us to work together?" Kakuzu said coldly.
"Kakuzu, whether you want it or not, the situation right now need us to do that." Itachi said rather solemnly.
Before Kakuzu can speak, Hidan already started talking first: "Hey, why are you guys always talking between yourself? Why did you suddenly intervene in someone else's fight? This is a matter between me and that brat. If you have any problem, you need to wait until I finish playing with this brat. Of course, it is absolutely impossible for this brat to survive under my hands!"
Kakuzu coldly looked at Hidan and said, "I said, you are very noisy!"
Kakuzu said, his right fist suddenly flew out, and black tentacles are connected to the fist.
"Tentacle punch!"
Whoosh!
The flying fist punches Hidan's chest directly!
"Argh!"
Hidan cried out painfully.
"Hmph, you're really weak, you even can't dodge that," Kakuzu said disdainfully.
"Bastard! How dare you use a sneak attack like that! I will definitely offer you to Jashin-sama as a sacrifice!"
Hidan said, and then, the black spear in his right hand was stabbed towards Kakuzu's fist that hasn't returned yet.
Stab!
The fist was pierced in an instant, and bright red blood dripped.
Kakuzu frowned and retracted his right fist.
Hidan did not chase after it, but instead put his feet to the blood that had just flowed out, and drew a circle on the ground, and then drew a triangle in the middle of that circle.
Hidan licked Kakuzu's blood from his black spear, and then, his skin turned black and white stripes appeared on his body!
"Haha, now the ritual begins!"
Hidan said, showing a mad smile.
His smile showed that his victory is in sight.
Kakashi is standing on the tree at this moment, watching the battle between Hidan and Kakuzu.
He is not in a hurry, and his mission this time is not to capture Hidan, so what happens in the end has no effect on Kakashi.
Also, he felt that this is a good chance to look at Hidan's ability.
Seeing that Kakashi didn't move, Itachi and Konan naturally did not move either.
As for Kakuzu, his interest now has changed to Hidan.
"Oh? What is that strange Ninjutsu?" Kakuzu murmured.
"Everything is ready! Now, die you bastard!"
Hidan said, waving the black spear in his hand. Kakuzu was stunned, thinking that Hidan was going to attack him, but the next scene makes everyone present except Kakashi stunned!
Stab!
They saw that Hidan actually directly stabbed his black spear through his own heart!
Blood splattered out instantly!
"Haha, the feeling of stabbing through my own heart is so exhilarating! May Jashin-sama be glorious forever! Hahaha."
Hidan said and laughed wildly.
At this moment, Kakuzu directly knelt on the ground, grabbing his own Heart, and looked at Hidan with gaze full of confusion and rage!
"You…"
Just as Kakuzu was about to say something, a black object with a white mask sprang out from behind him, and then, that black object was destroyed and dropped to the ground lifelessly.
"To actually dare destroy one of my hearts, your sure are courageous."
Kakuzu said as he stood up.

Chapter 429 - Three Against One
"Hmm, why are you still alive? You also still have the strength to talk? This is not scientific!" Hidan yelled.
"You bastard! I will kill you!" Kakuzu shouted.
"Try it! You absolutely won't be able to do it!" Hidan said arrogantly.
Konan who was on the side shouted: "Kakuzu, stop it."
"Why?"
"I'll say it again, our opponent is that guy." Konan pointed to Kakashi and said.
Kakuzu looked over and saw Kakashi standing on the tree, looking at the four people calmly.
Kakashi then said coldly: "Interesting ability. One of them can connect the damage he got to others, and it seems that the other one have a lot of hearts. As expected, Akatsuki is full of weird and strange people. Itachi, it seems that you joined a really interesting organization."
"Kakashi-senpai sure is exaggerating." Itachi responded indifferently.
"Oh? Itachi, I didn't expect you to be familiar with this guy," Kakuzu said.
Itachi didn't answer Kakuzu's question, and Kakuzu was not interested to ask again.
"Hey, don't you guys dare to ignore me!" Hidan yelled.
Itachi looked back at Hidan, and the three black tomoe in his eyes spin slightly.
Genjutsu!
Hidan felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and then he fainted.
"The noisy guy has finally become quiet." Itachi muttered.
When Konan saw this, she secretly thought: "Itachi's strength is terrifying. Even without using Mangekyō's Genjutsu, he defeats Hidan easily."
"As expected of Uchiha Itachi, I am afraid that only a few people in the entire Shinobi World can compare to you in the use of Genjutsu," Kakashi praised.
"Kakashi-senpai overpraised me. I know that senpai's Genjutsu is definitely not under me," he said.
Konan felt her heart shuddered slightly when she heard Kakashi's words.
'Kakashi's Genjutsu is not under Itachi's?'
'How is this possible.'
Although Konan doesn't know much about Itachi, she still knows what level of Itachi's Genjutsu has reached.
It can be said that Konan has never seen a person who can use Genjutsu to a level like Itachi.
'Could it be that this silver-white haired man really has the same skill in Genjutsu as Itachi?'
In fact, although Kakashi's Genjutsu is good, it is still a lot worse compared to Itachi's.
After all, Itachi's left eye's special skill is Tsukuyomi that was in Genjutsu department. As for Kakashi's eye's special skill, it is Kamui which is in Space department.
So it can't be compared to Tsukuyomi at all.
The reason Itachi said this right now is just to highlight Kakashi's strength in front of Konan and Kakuzu.
Moreover, Itachi never use his full strength in the Akatsuki, and has always hidden his true strength.
As an undercover spy, how can he show all of his cards?
"Kakashi of the Sharingan? I wonder how strong you are compared to Senju Hashirama." Kakuzu looked at Kakashi and said coldly.
"Oh? Judging by your tone, it seems that you have once fight against Shodaime-sama." Kakashi said.
"Haha, the first Konoha's Shinobi who fought against me was the Shodaime Hokage." Kakuzu said lightly, but in that tone, there seemed to be a hint of pride hidden.
Indeed, those who can fight with the Shodaime Hokage and stay alive to live the tale can be prideful about it.
After all, this matter is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
"Then you must really have a long life." Kakashi said lightly.
Kakuzu was quite speechless when he heard that. 'Isn't your focus too strange?'
'Shouldn't you say that I am very powerful?'
'At least you should have showed a surprised expression, right?'
'No, he's wearing a mask, so I can't see his expression.'
'At least you should have said it with a surprised tone, right?'
'Why are you so calm about it, you bastard!'
"Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi, your mission target this time should not be this guy, right? Then, you don't mind if we take him away, right?" Konan looked at Kakashi and said.
"What if I say I mind?" Kakashi said flatly.
Upon hearing this, the three Akatsuki's members immediately assumed an alert stance.
"Itachi, since we met here, then as Konoha's missing-nin, shouldn't you go back to the village with me to accept your punishments?" Kakashi looked at Itachi and said with a smile.
"Kakashi-senpai, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request." Itachi said lightly.
It seems that we still have to play one more game." Kakashi said while looking at the three people in front of him.
"You arrogant brat! I will make you regret it!"
Kakuzu said, and his right fist flew out again!
"Tentacle punch!"
Kakashi stay calm, and formed hand seals with both hands!
"Doton: Doryūheki!" (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)
A high wall rises from the ground, but it can't stop Kakuzu's fist!
Boom!
Kakuzu's fist has penetrated the earth wall and continued to move towards Kakashi.
Seeing Kakashi frowned, and secretly thought: 'That fist sure is powerful. I am afraid that it is not far from Tsunade-sama 's Chakra Enhanced Strength.'
These thoughts moved in Kakashi's mind, however, Kakashi's movements did not stop.
Using Shunpo, he dodged the fist easily and moved away.
"Kami Shigure!" (Paper Drizzle)
Behind Konan, white wings appeared. If someone looked closely, they will saw that the white wings are made of paper.
At this time, with Konan's soft shout, countless pieces of paper flew out of the wings, flying towards Kakashi.
When Kakashi saw this, the Millennium Sword in his hand was constantly dancing, shredding the pieces of papers flying towards him.
These pieces of papers are filled with Chakra, so they are not weaker than kunai.
When colliding with Kakashi's Millennium Sword, not only the sound of steel clashing rang, but there's also sparks in their collision!
At this moment, Itachi also move!
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)
A huge fireball ejected from Itachi's mouth. With the help of the paper drizzle, the fireball became fiercer!
Kakashi raised his eyebrows upon seeing this. Holding the Millennium Sword with his right hand, he instantly covered it with Chakra.
"White Moon Slash!"
A white crescent moon wave flew out of the blade, directly cutting the huge fireball in half!
"Katon: Zukokku!" (Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work)
"Fūton: Atsugai" (Wind Release: Pressure Damage)
In a blink of an eye, Kakuzu has summoned a black monster with a white mask.
The two use Ninjutsu together, causing the Ninjutsu to become stronger!
In an instant, the Wind Release and the Fire Release merged with each other, forming a tsunami of flames!
The Millennium Sword in Kakashi's hands started revolving, forming a defense around Kakashi's body.
"Hatake Clan Sword Technique: Return to the Moon!"
The white sword fully protects Kakashi's body, without revealing any gaps.
And that mighty tsunami of flames was completely unable to get close to Kakashi's body.
After the flame dissipated, Kakashi started to look around, and then, he couldn't help but frown.
The surroundings were empty and there was no one there.
Even Hidan is gone.
"They run?" Kakashi murmured.
On the other side, Itachi is carrying the unconscious Hidan, and behind him are Konan and Kakuzu.
"Why do we need to run?" Kakuzu said dissatisfied.
"Now is not the time to confront Konoha, and Kakashi also can use Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique), so we won't be able to corner him. If we continued, we will just wasting our time. And he will also analyze our ability." Konan said lightly.
"Hmph."
Kakuzu coldly snorted and stopped speaking. He also knows that what Konan said is right. Although they only fight for a moment, Kakuzu already knows that Kakashi's strength is by no means under him.
Report chapter
Chapter 430 - Godaime Kazekage
Kakashi stood there, pondering for a while, and then left.
His mission this time is to investigate the truth of the destruction of Yugakure, but not to catch the real culprit, so chasing after them is unnecessary.
What's more, Kakashi has no chance of winning as he is alone against three opponents.
If he is at his full strength, it is possible, but right now, it is impossible.
In addition, Itachi is also among them, there is no need to make a big conflict for now.
"However, since Hidan has been taken away, he will definitely become a member of Akatsuki. That means, the last member of Akatsuki in the original book has finally joined." Kakashi muttered.
On the other hand, after Hidan woke up, Konan talked with him for a while and let Hidan join Akatsuki.
Akatsuki, who is engaged in terrorist actions, is obviously very appetizing to Hidan, and Akatsuki also would not forbid Hidan to promote his so-called Jashinism.
So the two sides agreed, and then Pain handed over the ownerless ring 'Three' to Hidan.
At this moment, all members of the legendary Akatsuki in the original work have finally completed.
The prelude to horror is also about to be opened.
Konoha, Hokage Towe.
"Oh? Yugakure was destroyed by one of its villagers? That person is Jashin's believer?" Tsunade murmured.
"Yes, does Tsunade-sama know about Jashin?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"Jashin?" Tsunade showed a thoughtful look. Kakashi was a little surprised when he saw this as he didn't expect Tsunade to really know something.
"When I was young, I seemed to have heard my grandfather say something about it, but my memory is a little fuzzy," Tsunade murmured.
Kakashi listened carefully.
"The so-called Jashin is actually a Shinobi, but he studies all forbidden techniques, which is somewhat similar to Orochimaru right now. He seems to have caused a lot of troubles at that time, but he was suppressed by my grandfather. I do not know about the specific situation as the data about those matters apparently have been destroyed."
"Destroyed?"
"Well, I recall that it seems that my grandfather didn't want this thing to spread out, so all of the records were destroyed at that time. But I was young and hid from my grandfather when I overheard about this," Tsunade recalled.
"So Jashin was actually a Shinobi. For him to make Shodaime-sama attach so much importance to him, he must be a terrifying figure." Kakashi said softly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that a believer of that Jashin actually appeared now. According to your statement, that person has an immortal body, and a kind of inexplicable curse Ninjutsu. It seems that he will be very troublesome." Tsunade muttered.
"Well, that person's strength is only ordinary Jōnin-level. It's just that the curse and his undead body make him troublesome. If we fight against him, there are only two ways, one is not to fight in close combat and use long-range attacks. The second is to suppress his Taijutsu completely," Kakashi said.
"You are right. Akatsuki's movements are also really getting more and more recently."
"I guess they are about to do something."
"They're really a troublesome organization. I can't even find out where his leader is now."
"It will be hard. Their leader is very low-key, and… It's not the time to provoke them. Let's see what happens for now. Once they start to act, we can finally start suppressing them."
"Yeah, we can only do that now. By the way, although I know that you have just returned from the mission, there is still something I need you to do."
Kakashi was taken aback, and said, "What's the matter?"
Tsunade took out a scroll and handed it to Kakashi.
Seeing this, Kakashi took the scroll. 'This scroll seems to be from Sunagakure. Could it be that there was a problem in Sunagakure?'
Kakashi was puzzled and opened the scroll.
"This is… Gaara wants to inherit the position of Godaime Kazekage?" Kakashi was surprised.
"Yes, since the death of the Yondaime Kazekage last time, Sunagakure has been in a state of not having a leader. It is under the management of that old woman Chiyo, Ebizō and Baki. Recently, the election of Godaime Kazekage was put on the agenda. Baki recommended Gaara to be the new Kazekage. Although many people opposed it, with the support of Baki and the tacit approval of Chiyo and Ebizō, Gaara was successfully elected. And now, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind also agreed. So, it is already a matter of fact that Gaara has become the Godaime Kazekage."
"If that's the case, Gaara has become the youngest Kage in history," Kakashi said with emotion.
Originally, the youngest Kage is the Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato. But now, this record has been broken. After all, Gaara is only fifteen years old at this time.
"Yeah, it is a major event for a new Kazekage to take the office. As Sunagakure's ally, we need to send someone to congratulate him. As Hokage, it is inconvenient for me to leave Konoha. And the Old Man is really old now, so it's not good to send him there."
"So I'm the only one left?" Kakashi said helplessly.
"Yes, regardless of status or strength, you are the most suitable one. And I heard that you and Gaara also have some relationship."
"Well, it can't be help. There is no way I can refuse this."
"That's true. You should leave tomorrow. This time it's in the form of a mission, so you need to bring a small team of Anbu with you. You can decide on your own choice. Then you can give me the list of the entourages." Tsunade ordered.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
After finished discussing this matter, Kakashi left the Hokage Tower.
He didn't expect that he would get another mission just after finishing one. Fortunately, the mission this time shouldn't be too troublesome.
It's just that it is going a long travel, and some troubles may occur on the way.
'Hah, I really miss the day when I was leading Team 7, and live so leisurely.' Kakashi sighed in his heart.
But that time has passed, so he can only complain in his heart.
When Kakashi returned home, he has just changed his Anbu's uniform when he saw a black crow with scarlet eyes is standing by the window.
"Hmm?"
Kakashi frowned slightly, and then disappeared from his home.
Ochagakure, laboratory.
"Shisui, why did you call me here?"
In the laboratory, the scarlet-eyed Shisui smiled while holding a bottle of green solution: "Kakashi, look, this is Hashirama's cells solution that was extracted by me and the other researchers."
"It's successful?" Kakashi was overjoyed.
Shisui nodded and said: "Yeah, we're successful, but in the course of the experiment, I discovered that Hashirama's cell is very domineering. I don't think it will be easy to integrate it to someone's body. I don't know what method was used when Orochimaru transplanted my left hand."
"Can you find it out?" Kakashi asked.
"Not a big problem, just takes a little time. After all, we can research my body for that."
"That's good. I have seen Itachi just a few days ago. His situation is getting worse and worse, so we should hurry up and finish this research as I don't think he can hold it for long."
"Yeah, I understand." Shisui nodded solemnly when he heard this.

Chapter 431 Gaara and Shukaku
The news that Sunagakure's Godaime Kazekage took office was spread everywhere, and almost the entire Shinobi World has received this news.
However, except Konoha who has a good relationship with Sunagakure and sent messengers to congratulate the new Kazekage, the other three Great Shinobi Villages did not move at all.
The appointment of a new Kage was originally an internal matter of the village, and the other Shinobi Villages naturally did not need to send someone to congratulate the new Kage.
Although Kirigakure has established a good relationship with Konoha, its relationship with Sunagakure is very ordinary.
Sunagakure, Kazekage Building.
Gaara is wearing a Kazekage robe, looking at the constant wind and sand outside the window. It is unknown what he was thinking.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Gaara recovered and answered softly.
There was no longer the indifference of the past in his voice, and there was also a hint of tenderness.
If someone who once knew Gaara saw this scene, he would probably be very surprised.
After all, Gaara seems to have become a different person.
The original bloodthirsty madman would actually speak in this tone.
The door opened, and a middle-aged Shinobi came in. A long white cloth blocked the left eye and his face is firm.
This person is one of top Shinobi in Sunagakure, and also Gaara's former teacher, Baki.
"Kazekage-sama." Baki shouted respectfully.
"Baki-sensei, you don't have to be so polite. Even if I have become Kazekage, you are still my teacher."
Baki couldn't help but felt a little emotional when he saw Gaara's appearance now.
Who could have imagined that the cold-blooded Gaara would show such a warm expression now.
This may be the only gain that Sunagakure has gained in participating in the Konoha Crush Plan.
If it wasn't for Gaara becoming what he is right now, Baki would never recommend Gaara, and support him to become the Godaime Kazekage.
Of course, the change in personality is only one of the reasons. Gaara's rapid advancement in strength makes Baki very optimistic about him.
In two years, Gaara has completely surpassed Baki and has reached Kage-level strength.
Now in Sunagakure, apart from Chiyo and Ebizō who were living in seclusion, no one is Gaara's opponent.
"Kazekage-sama, the courtesy can't be abandoned."
Seeing Baki's insistence, Gaara didn't know what to say and can only give up.
"Well, Baki-sensei, do you know what's going on?"
"Well, Konoha has congratulated you on your appointment as the Godaime Kazekage and sent the current Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi, to congratulate you in person. What do you think should be done?" said Baki.
Gaara was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said: "Hatake Kakashi? I didn't expect him to come. Since Konoha's envoys are coming, they naturally must be treated with the highest standards. I will hand over this matter to you, Baki-sensei."
"Kazekage-sama, I am worried that Konoha will take the opportunity to investigate the situation of our village." Baki said worriedly.
Gaara was silent for a moment, and then thought of the silver-white haired man who was talking to him under the moonlight.
Touching his stomach, Gaara said: "Don't worry, Konoha's Hokage has always loved peace and will not cause trouble for no reason. And if Hatake Kakashi really comes here to investigate our village's situation, I am afraid we won't be able to prevent it. So it's better to believe in them and treat them well."
"This…" Baki still hesitated.
"Baki-sensei, rest assured, I'm here. If Konoha really wants to attack Sunagakure, they must pass through me first!"
Gaara said decisively, and the firmness in his tone did not allow any doubt.
Maki was slightly moved when he heard this, and when he looked at Gaara's young face, he felt relieved.
Although Gaara was young at this time, he gave Baki the feeling that he was more reliable than the late Yondaime Kazekage.
In time, Gaara will surely become the greatest Kazekage.
Baki believes so firmly.
"Yes, Kazekage-sama." Baki nodded.
"Sorry to trouble you, Baki-sensei." Gaara said, showing a slight smile.
"It's fine. It is my work after all."
After Baki left Kazekage office, Gaara sat in his chair and closed his eyes.
Gaara then appeared in the darkness.
In front of him is a giant beast with golden pupils and dark blue marks on his body.
The giant beast opened his mouth and said, "Gaara, why are you here?"
"Shukaku, Baki said that Hatake Kakashi is coming to Sunagakure."
"Oh? Really? That interesting brat," Shukaku said, revealing a hint of meaningful smile.
"Shukaku, was he the one who asked you to communicate with me?" Gaara asked curiously.
"You can say that, and I also just want to try it, but I didn't expect that you brat would be so interesting." Shukaku chuckled lightly, and looked at Gaara with satisfaction.
Back then, Kakashi entered the sealing space with the power of Mangekyō Sharingan and communicated with Shukaku.
Of course, Kakashi couldn't order him anything, and it was impossible to make Shukaku accept Gaara directly.
It's just that Kakashi's words have successfully aroused Shukaku's interest in Gaara, and make him tried to communicate with Gaara.
During that time, Gaara's temperament has changed drastically under the influence of Naruto.
There was no rejection of Shukaku who suddenly spoke to him.
Under such circumstance, the relationship between the two is pretty good now.
Although it did not reach the tacit understanding like the Hachibi and Killer B, it is much better than the other Jinchūriki.
"Really? He really is an interesting person." Gaara once again remembered that lazy smile.
Hidden under the mask, no one knows his true reasons.
It's just that Gaara knew that Hatake Kakashi really helped him.
Although he doesn't know why.
"Gaara, you should be friendly to him." Shukaku said.
"I know, thank you, Shukaku." Gaara looks at the huge sand beast.
One person and one beast seemed to have reached an unexpected harmony.
'Hatake Kakashi, you are right. Gaara did not disappoint me. He is different from ordinary Shinobi. He reminds me of the time I used to get along with Monk Bunpuku.' Shukaku looks at Gaara and secretly thought in his heart.
Kakashi didn't know that what he has done unintentionally at that time would cause a great harmony between Gaara and Shukaku.
If he knows about, he would be very surprised.
At this time, Kakashi is in Anbu Base and has chosen the people who will go with him.
The ten people in front of him are the good Anbu's members selected by Kakashi.
"This time, we have only one purpose for going to Sunagakure. That is to congratulate them for getting new Kazekage. No unauthorized action is allowed. Do you understand?" Kakashi coldly shouted.
"We understand, Commander!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Very good, let's go!"
Chapter 432 Chiyo and Ebizō
Kakashi and ten people from Anbu, a total of eleven people, formed a team and went to Sunagakure.
The succession ceremony of the Godaime Kazekage is three days for now, so everyone has to move faster.
Fortunately, the weakest member here has the strength of a Jōnin, so there is no need to worry they would be late.
"Commander, will a fight break out when we go to Sunagakure this time?" Hyuga Taiga whispered as he followed Kakashi from behind.
"Don't worry, Sunagakure doesn't have the guts to do that. Sunagakure right now can be said to be short in talents. A fifteen-year-old boy, no matter how good he is, will never be able to sit in Kazekage's position. But now this happened, the only possibility is that they don't have a better choice. It can be seen how weak Sunagakure is now. Therefore, the alliance with Konoha is very important to them. They will not be that stupid to do that. However, if they are really so irrational, I will make them regret it."
At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of killing intent in Kakashi's tone.
Hearing this, Hyuga Taiga nodded.
Kakashi's words were indeed enough to convince him.
"Taiga, how is your eyes?" Kakashi suddenly asked.
"Thanks to your help, the Caged Bird Cursed Seal has been completely removed, and I also have broken through that barrier." Hyuga Taiga said calmly.
It's as if it wasn't him who broke through.
"That's good. By the way, does the mutation of your Byakugan still exist?"
Hyuga Taiga directly used his Byakugan when he heard this, and Kakashi saw that the faint golden light still existed.
"It seems that this change is not something that can be eliminated by time. Taiga, do you feel any discomfort?"
Hyuga Taiga shook his head and said, "No, I even feel that it's better than before."
"Is that so? If you feel any discomfort, you need to tell me as soon as possible."
"Yes, commander!"
Kakashi has always been very concerned about Hyuga Taiga's Byakugan mutation. He faintly felt that there might be something hidden in it.
It only took two days for Kakashi and the others to enter the territory of the Land of Wind.
Now, they only need to get to Sunagakure.
However, at this time, at the border of the Land of Wind, there is a small group of Sunagakure's Shinobi waiting for Kakashi and the others.
Kakashi suddenly stopped at the border and shouted: "Stop!"
With his order, the ten Anbu stopped in an instant.
The timing is perfect as they're just like one person.
The Sunagakure's Shinobi not far away were all taken aback when they saw this.
Although this scene is not much to say, but the Sunagakure's Shinobi can feel that the aura of these eleven people is very powerful. If there is really a battle, with the fighting power of these eleven people, it is absolutely terrifying.
'Is this the strength of Konoha's Anbu?'
'Sure enough, it is terrifying.'
Most of these people have not participated in the Konoha Crush Plan two years ago, so they don't know much about Konoha.
This is also an arrangement from Gaara. After all, Sunagakure's Shinobi who participated in Konoha Crush Plan back then will inevitably have some hatred with Konoha's Shinobi.
When a conflict breaks out, it will be troublesome.
That's why Gaara sent these Sunagakure's Shinobi.
And the person who took the lead was also a Shinobi Kakashi knew.
Kankuro!
"Kakashi-dono, Welcome to the Land of Wind." Kankuro greeted him.
Kakashi smiled when he saw it: "It turned out to be you, Kankuro. I didn't expect you would come here to pick us up. We are troubling you."
"Kakashi-dono is too polite. Please come with me from Konoha's envoys, we will lead you to Sunagakure."
"Sure."
Kakashi did not refuse, and then set off with Kankuro and the rest Sunagakure's Shinobi.
Somewhere in Sunagakure, above the high mountain, in a hut.
"Nee-san, the succession ceremony of the Godaime Kazekage is tomorrow. Is it okay for us to not go there?" Ebizō said softly.
Chiyo closed her eyes as she is still fishing. Without opening her eyes, she said: "It's okay, we are old now. We have worked for Sunagakure for our whole life. So now, we should have good rest and just leave Sunagakure to the next generation."
"Nee-san's thought sure is different." Ebizō said with a smile.
"Huh, when I am at this age, there is almost nothing I want. If there is one, I probably want to see that Sasori brat again. After leaving the village for so many years, I don't know where that brat is right now." Chiyo opened her eyes and sighed.
"Sasori? Don't worry, with that kid's ability, he won't get die easily." Ebizō said.
"Yeah, Sasori is a genius. With his skill in Puppet Technique, he will definitely exert unprecedented power. Unfortunately, I don't know if I have a chance to see it." Chiyo sighed.
"Well, nee-san, it will be fate whether it will happen or not."
"Yeah." Chiyo said, closing her eyes again, and fishing with peace of mind.
"By the way, nee-san, I heard that Konoha also sent someone to congratulate the new Kazekage." Ebizō suddenly said.
"Really? That hypocritical village sent someone over? That old woman who played with slugs would not come here in person, right?" Chiyo said quite uncomfortably.
Obviously, she was very upset with the so-called slug-playing woman in her own words.
However, it is no wonder that Chiyo hated her, after all, she lost in Tsunade's hands during the Shinobi World War.
The Puppet Technique and poison that Chiyo is proud of is a joke in front of Tsunade.
It is no wonder that Chiyo hated her very much.
"Haha, it seems that nee-san is still so obsessed with Tsunade." Ebizō said with a smile.
"Well, that woman is too annoying. Let's just talk about who is the one coming this time." Chiyo said softly.
Ebizō opened his squinted eyes, and gently said a name that made Chiyo's expression changed wildly.
"Hatake…Kakashi."
"What!" Chiyo suddenly opened her eyes, and unconsciously used force in her hand and destroyed the fishing rod in her hand.
"Nee-san, calm down." Ebizō seemed to have expected Chiyo's reaction a long time ago, so he's not surprised.
"You mean, White Fang's son?"
"Yeah, it's him. Sister, calm down, White Fang is dead."
"I know! But this Hatake Kakashi…"
Chiyo said, there is a hint of unclear light in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Ebizō said: "Nee-san, Hatake Kakashi has a very important position in Konoha now. You shouldn't mess around. I tell you this to put you in peace, not to make you take revenge."
"Haha, don't worry, I know."
Chiyo laughed twice, and fell into the silence while fishing again.
It's just that her slightly trembling hands showed that she is not at peace at this time.

Chapter 433 Kakashi and Gaara
Kazekage Building, Gaara looked at the silver-white haired young man in front of him, when seeing him, he felt as if he was returning to the time when he was in Konoha's prison two years ago.
Konoha Crush Plan!
Gaara who was rampaging was stopped by Naruto, and was seriously injured.
He felt Naruto's feelings for his companions, and became a little soft.
But it is naturally unavoidable to settle accounts after the end of a war.
Gaara was knocked down by Naruto, and then was rescued by Kankuro and Temari who came there.
However, they did not escape in time. Karin and Jugo who came afterwards arrested the three of them who were already injured and tired.
Afterwards, they were thrown into Konoha's prison.
It is precisely because of Gaara, who was Jinchūriki, was caught that the negotiations between Konoha and Sunagakure would go exceptionally smooth.
But few people know that when Gaara was locked up in Konoha's prison, Kakashi had come to see him.
At this time, look at the lazy expression on Kakashi's face, Gaara remembered what he had talked to Kakashi back then.
…
In the gloomy Konoha's prison, Gaara was kept alone in a special cell.
There are many seals attached to his body.
This kind of preferential treatment is indispensable for Jinchūriki.
After all, normal seal cannot stop the Chakra of the Bijū.
Once the Chakra of the Bijū burst out, this little Konoha's prison wouldn't be able to withstand that terrifying power at all.
At that time, Konoha's prison will be destroyed.
For Konoha, it will be a disaster.
Gaara sat quietly on the bed in the cell without saying a word.
The killing intent that was originally in his eyes has disappeared at this time.
Instead, he showed thoughtful expression and his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Is everything I do right? Or is it wrong? What is the meaning of my existence?" Gaara muttered to himself, but didn't know the answer.
He seemed to be at lost all of a sudden.
Originally, the way of proving his existence with killing seems to be stopped by a guy named Uzumaki Naruto.
He doesn't know why, but Gaara is strangely envious of Naruto.
The yellow-haired boy has a fate that was completely different from his own.
And the starting point of their life is so similar.
'Yashamaru, why did you hate me? It is clear that we used to get along so well.'
Gaara thought of the gentle man.
It was the death of this gentle man that pushed Gaara into the end of the abyss.
Just when Gaara was in thought, the door of the cell opened.
The one who came in is a young man wearing a Konoha's Jōnin uniform.
Gaara looked up, and saw the dark blue mask and silver-white hair.
For some reason, Gaara could feel the lazy smile on that young man's face even though he is wearing a mask.
That crescent-like eye made Gaara feel a gentleness that seemed familiar.
'Yashamaru…'
Gaara felt a little lost for a while.
"It seems that you are thinking about something," Kakashi opened his mouth and said.
"It's you…" Gaara reacted at this time.
He remembered that this person is Uzumaki Naruto's teacher, who also suppressed Shukaku in his body before.
He is a very powerful Shinobi.
And being able to enter here at will, Gaara presumed that his position in Konoha is not low.
In just an instant, Gaara analyzed the general situation of the person in front of him.
Although he reached the conclusion that this person in front of him is powerful, Gaara did not have much fear of Kakashi.
Right now, he is already a prisoner of Konoha, so whether it is a strong person or an ordinary person, he can't win.
Therefore, fear is a useless emotion, and Gaara will never show it.
"It seems that you still remember me." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Of course, no matter who you are, I will never forget a person like you once I have seen it," Gaara said faintly.
Kakashi seemed quite surprised when he heard Gaara's words, but soon, he smiled and said: "Oh? I didn't expect that you would have such ability. I didn't notice it before."
Without paying attention to Kakashi's wrangling, Gaara went straight to the point and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"You're really direct. I originally want to talk about something else first. It's really distressing for you to be like this." Kakashi said quite helplessly.
Gaara looked at Kakashi and didn't speak.
Kakashi didn't care about Gaara's reaction. Sitting on the chair next to him, he said: "Sunagakure has lost and now is negotiating with Konoha, but you can rest assured that we will return you to Sunagakure."
"I have never worried about that. There is not much difference between living and dying for people like me." Gaara said with a calm expression.
After becoming a madman who only loves to cause chaos, Gaara will not feel his sense of existence at all except during when he felt the pleasure of killing.
Gaara is tired of such days.
"It seems that you don't like your life now." Kakashi said with a smile.
Gaara didn't answer, and just lowered his head.
"I have a student, and I knew you have seen him. His name is Uzumaki Naruto."
Kakashi suddenly said.
When Gaara heard this name, he raised his head and looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi knew that Gaara is interested with the yellow-haired boy who defeated him.
"Surely you also aware that inside his body, there is a monster like yours."
Gaara's body moved slightly after hearing this.
Although he already has some speculations in his mind, he was still surprised after it was confirmed.
'Is that person really the same as me?
'Then, why does he have so many friends and the courage to give his life for others?'
'Why is our life trajectory completely different?'
"You should be curious, why Naruto, who had the same starting point as you, is now in a completely different situation from yours?" Kakashi said with a smile.
Gaara looked at Kakashi, and what was inside his eyes right now is the desire for knowledge.
"Because Naruto is different from you. He is a guy who will never give up. No matter how much wronged or criticized he was, he will survive. He will cry, get angry, and will even resent. But no matter what, when he wakes up the next day, he will forget all these and regain his yearning for life."
When Gaara heard this, his throat felt a little dry, and he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he slowly said: "Can anyone really do that?"
"Of course, what you see is a living example." Kakashi said with a smile.
Gaara lowered his head again, and it is unknown what he was thinking.
Kakashi then continued: "I have heard about your situation. Some things may not be known to you. Would you like to hear it? For example, about Yashamaru."
Hearing that familiar name, Gaara suddenly raised his head and looked at the smiling Kakashi.
