Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

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. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

"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." 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"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!"
