Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 379 Team Kakashi

Kakashi, who was half buried, suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Both Sasuke and Sakura were surprised when they saw this.

"Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu!" (Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)

'Crap!'

Sasuke secretly thought, but it was too late.

In the next second, Sasuke and Sakura's bodies sank down to the ground at the same time, leaving only leaving their heads above the ground.

Kakashi's figure quietly emerged and he stood in front of the two.

"Haha, is this considered karma?" Kakashi said with a smile.

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Just now, the two wanted to bury Kakashi in the ground, but they didn't expect Kakashi that not only Kakashi was able to escape, they were also buried instead.

The karma came a little too soon.

"Kakashi-sensei, when did you use the shadow clone?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"When? You should try to guess." Kakashi smiled wickedly.

Sasuke didn't feel annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he thought about it carefully. Suddenly, he thought of something and said: "Was it when I fell to the ground and saved by Sakura? There was a huge smoke rising up, so even if you used the shadow clone, we wouldn't notice it."

"Bingo, that's correct, but unfortunately, there is no reward." Kakashi said with a smile.

Both Sasuke and Sakura are secretly annoyed. They didn't expect that the plan the two of them thought about for a long time would fail like this.

"Well, the test ends here. How do I say, I am very happy to be your teacher." Kakashi said with a smile.

Sasuke and Sakura were taken aback when they heard this, and looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi then continued: "Although you two didn't get the bells, you have made great progress in terms of strength and combat plan. Sakura's Chakra Enhanced Strength is very powerful, but the speed is not enough and needs to be improved. As for Water Release, I didn't think that you would have the talent in this area, so it might be better to develop it. Don't stop training it."

Hearing this, Sakura said: "Yes! Kakashi-sensei!"

"As for Sasuke, your Lightning Release, Shunshin, Swordsmanship, they are all excellent. But Sasuke, do you want to be yourself or become the second me?" Kakashi looked at Sasuke and asked.

Hearing this, Sasuke can only stay silent. He then thought that his development path seems to be exactly the same as Kakashi.

"Sasuke, you are very similar to me, whether it is from Chakra Attributes or Sharingan, so it is inevitable that there will be overlapping development paths. However, when you reach a certain level, you must try to find a path that belongs to yourself. After all, my path is only for my own. And you, Sasuke Uchiha, have your own way to become stronger, do you understand?"

Sasuke nodded and said: "I understand, Kakashi-sensei."

"Very good. Now that the test is over, let's go eat together and celebrate!"

Kakashi said as he slammed his right foot to the ground hardly. And then, Sakura's and Sasuke's body instantly rise out of the ground.

"Yes! Kakashi-sensei!"

The teacher and the two students have not seen each other for two years, so this meal was naturally very pleasant.

Sakura and Sasuke talked to Kakashi about what happened in the past two years, and Kakashi gave advises about the training of the two.

As the night darkened, the three of them finally dispersed.

"Ah, it would be great if life could be like this forever."

Kakashi then touched his left eye. He knew that this kind of life would not last for long.

In the dark base underground, Obito is standing silently.

Zetsu come out of the ground and said with a hoarse voice: "Obito, Kakashi has returned to Konoha."

When Obito heard this, his body shook a little and he said: "Oh? After disappearing for two years, is he finally back? Do you know where he went for these past two years?"

Zetsu answered: "I don't know, Kakashi went out with Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) this time, so I couldn't track him at all."

"Hiraishin no Jutsu? It's a really troublesome Ninjutsu," Obito coldly said.

He still remembers the damage that Ninjutsu brought him.

That was the only time he was injured after becoming the fake Uchiha Madara.

"Then, is there any change in Kakashi?" Obito asked.

"The distance is too far for me to feel it. It seems that he is a little different, but I can't really tell."

"Forget it, leave him alone. He is just a loser. How about Akatsuki?"

"Everything is going smoothly. The fundraising is about to come to an end. After another year, we should be able to enter the final stage."

"Very good, I finally reached this point."

"Obito, what should I do next?"

"You should help Akatsuki. Continue to inquire the information about Bijuu and then when the time is right, the Akatsuki can start to collect it."

"Okay."

After Zetsu finished speaking, he sank into the ground again.

In the darkness, Obito's right eye is very scarlet, and the black tomoe is slowly spinning.

"Kakashi, we will meet again soon. I wonder what are you gonna do when we met."

The underground base once again fell into silence. The Gedō Mazō is standing there, seems to be waiting for something.

At the Hokage Tower, Tsunade frowned as she looked at the scroll in front of her.

"Shizune, go and call Kakashi."

"Eh? Oh, okay."

Shizune went to Anbu Base and summoned Kakashi to the Hokage Tower.

Kakashi felt that something is bit strange, but still go to the Hokage Tower.

"Tsunade-sama, what's the matter?" Kakashi asked.

Tsunade didn't answer, but threw a scroll to Kakashi.

"This is?"

"Look at it."

Kakashi opened the scroll in confusion. He then saw that this scroll is about someone asking for help.

Kakashi's pupils shrank after reading the content.

"Is Shikaku-senpai and his team in trouble?"

Kakashi asked in low voice.

"Yeah, maybe so. For someone like Shikaku to ask for help, it seems that they are in serious trouble."

"Didn't he go to the Land of Flowers?" Kakashi muttered.

"Look at this next." Tsunade handed another scroll to Kakashi.

Kakashi took a look. He instantly frowned, and said: "Orochimaru also went to the Land of Flowers?"

"Yes, Shikaku's troubles are very likely to be related to Orochimaru. The only one in the village who can fight against Orochimaru is you. Also, Karin and Jūgo who are on Shikaku's team are also your students. So, I will leave it to you!'

"Okay!" Kakashi answered.

"Right, for this mission, I want you to bring Sasuke and Sakura with you."

"I understand!"

"Good, you can go," Tsunade said.

Kakashi nodded and disappeared from the Hokage's office.

Shizune who is on the side then asked: "Tsunade-sama, what's Shukaku's mission this time? How can it attract Orochimaru to go there?"

"It is related to an artifact, so Orochimaru naturally would go there."

"What? Artifact?" Shizune said in surprise.
