Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

"Shikaku-senpai, do you have any clues where those people are?" Kakashi asked.

Shikaku didn't talk, but instead took out a piece of cloth rags, and said, "We have fought against that group of people before. They are very strong. The four of us can only protect ourselves and can't make an effective counterattack, so I can only choose to retreat temporarily. I got this piece of cloth from their leader."

"Their leader? Is it a woman named Guren?"

"Yes, it's her. I recall that you have Ninja Dog, Kakashi. With this piece of cloth, you should be able to find their location." Shikaku said with a smile.

"Shikaku-senpai really understands me, this piece of cloth is really enough to find them."

Kakashi said, as he cut his right thumb with a kunai. Blood instantly ooze out, and then he formed hand seals.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" (Summoning Technique)

Bang!

Two Ninja Dogs instantly appeared in front of Kakashi. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

One of them is Pakkun, and the other one is a Hellhound.

Unlike the other Hellhounds, this hellhound is about the same size as Pakkun. It is black and white, with blue eyes. The most distinctive feature is that the brow is formed by two white hairs, which looks very cute.

Unlike other Hellhounds who have a strong body and attack power, Tetsuya is an auxiliary summoned beast.

"Yo, Kakashi, long time no see," Pakkun said.

"Kakashi-sama, what is your order." Tetsuya also said.

Kakashi smiled and said: "Pakkun, Tetsuya, this is the fragment of the enemy's clothes this time. I want you two to go and find the trace of this person. After you find it, report to me immediately."

After hearing this, Pakkun and Tetsuya move towards the cloth and sniffed it. Then Pakkun said: "Okay, Kakashi, no problem."

Tetsuya also nodded his head, and then the two Ninja Dogs set out.

"Well, Shikaku-senpai, now we just need to wait for news," Kakashi said.

"Okay, let's make a plan for the next step," Shikaku said.

"Well, this plan should naturally be handed over to Shikaku-senpai. After all, Shikaku-senpai is our Konoha's best strategist." Kakashi said with a smile.

"You brat, you're starting to shirk responsibility again. Okay, after all, this mission is my team's mission. It's already too much to ask for your help. I shall think of the plan myself." Shikaku smiled.

"As expected of Shikaku-senpai. You're really responsible" Kakashi said with a smile.

"You brat. Fine, let's talk about the plan." Shikaku's expression turned serious, and the seven Shinobi gathered together.

The plan has long been in Shikaku's mind. As Konoha's best strategist, Shikaku has already thought about all the steps.

"According to the intelligence, Orochimaru should not have arrived yet, so the first thing we have to do is to get the Kusanagi Sword. Although we don't know whether this Kusanagi Sword is true or not, we cannot allow it to fall into Orochimaru's hands."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

"Now, the Otogakure's Shinobi should have obtained the specific whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword, so they will definitely act immediately. When Kakashi's Ninja Dogs come back, we will follow after them. If the Otogakure's Shinobi has already got the Kusanagi Sword, we will immediately attack them and seize it. If they haven't got the Kusanagi Sword yet, we will have to wait. Compared to taking the lead, it is more efficient to let them take the lead."

"Shikaku-sensei, are you not afraid that after the Otogakure's Shinobi get the Kusanagi Sword, they will retreat immediately?" Karin asked.

Shikaku smiled and said: "Don't worry, Kakashi is here, so he won't let them run away. Isn't that right, Kakashi?"

Kakashi was a little helpless when he heard this, 'It seems that I will be the one responsible to take care of this matter.'

"Shikaku-senpai is right, I will definitely won't let them get away with the Kusanagi Sword."

"Well, from the information I got, except for the eight people killed by Kakashi's team, there are about seventeen Otogakure's Shinobi left, including Guren and the Sound Four which have Jōnin-level strength and above, so we need to be careful against them. At that time, I will hand over the Sound Four to Sakura, Karin, Jūgo and Houten. Sasuke will take care of Guren, and as for the others, me and Kakashi will take care of it.

Hearing this, Kakashi took a look at Shikaku strangely. After all, it stands for a reason that Guren who is the strongest should be left to Kakashi or Shikaku to deal with. But now, Shikaku asked Sasuke to deal with Guren, which make Kakashi confused.

As if seeing Kakashi's doubts, Shikaku smiled and said: "The Crystal Release used by Guren is very strong, and normal Ninjutsu can't deal with it. But, I found out that the Crystal Release has a weakness and this weakness makes Sasuke to be the most appropriate opponent for Guren."

Hearing this, Kakashi finally understood, 'Could it be that Shikaku-senpai's plan is…'

Unexpectedly, Sasuke said at this time: "Shikaku-sensei, I defeat the opponent with my own ability, so you don't need to tell me the opponent's weakness."

Shikaku was taken aback when he heard this, but he then smiled and said: "Okay, good luck."

Shikaku is a person who can understand someone's personality, so he naturally knows Sasuke's personality.

Sasuke is proud in nature, so naturally he won't let others tell him what his enemy's weakness is. He has enough confidence in himself.

Therefore, Sasuke will never accept Shikaku's information.

In his view, it is unfair and a question of his own strength.

"Sasuke-kun, this… is it okay?" Sakura said with some concern.

"Don't worry, Sakura, I won't lose," Sasuke said firmly.

"Well, it's decided then. You guys should be more careful, after all, the other party is not weakling. Jūgo, except for Guren, the Sound Four should have a Cursed Seal similar to yours. Be careful." Kakashi said.

Hearing this, Jūgo smiled and said: "Kakashi-nii, you can rest assured. It's just some fake, so I will never lose."

"That's good."

At this moment, Pakkun and Tetsuya finally get back.

"Kakashi, we have found the enemy, but they seem to be divided into two groups. Five of them left the camp, and the rest stayed in the camp. And these five people are not together, the four of them are in the front and one person is following from far behind. The aura of these five people is very strong," Pakkun said.

"Oh? Did Guren and the Sound Four leave the camp? Is there anything else?" Kakashi frowned.

"I'm not sure," Pakkun said.

Shikaku then said: "In that case, let's change our plan. I will go to the enemy camp with Houten and kill the rest of Otogakure's Shinobi. Kakashi, I want you to take Sasuke, Sakura, Karin and Jūgo and find out what Guren and the Sound Four are doing. If I didn't guess wrong, they should have gone to get the Kusanagi Sword."

Hearing this, Kakashi nodded and said: "Okay, then it is decided. Pakkun, take Shikaku-senpai and Houten to the enemy's camp. Tetsuya, I want you to take us to find those five people."

"Yes, Kakashi-sama!" Tetsuya responded.

"Then, Shikaku-san, come with me," Pakkun said.

"Sorry to trouble you, Pakkun," Shikaku said.

Pakkun then left with Shikaku and Houten, while Kakashi and the rest followed after Tetsuya!
