Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 482: Miko

"Eh? Why not Kakashi-sensei? And, why are Neji and Thick Eyebrows here?"

In the Hokage Tower, Naruto looked at Tsunade doubtfully and asked.

"Kakashi has other missions. Neji is a Jōnin, who is proficient in Gentle Fist, and Lee's Strong Fist Taijutsu can make up for your team shortcomings. And Naruto, you are the only Genin here, so you have no right to complain."

Naruto: "..."

"Tsunade baa-chan!"

When Naruto still wants to say something, Sakura punches Naruto's face and said angrily: "Listen to her and don't interrupt!"

"Hii~" Naruto was horrified.

"Well, stop playing around. This time, your mission is to protect the Miko of the Land of Demons and bring her to the sealed shrine in the Land of Swamps. She has the power to seal Mōryō and can re-seal Mōryō. Your mission is very important. Only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed."

"Yes!"

The five people responded in unison.

After leaving the Hokage Tower, Naruto said complainly: "Ahh, how can Kakashi-sensei left us to do other missions."

"Okay, Naruto, stop complaining. This mission is very important. Kakashi-sensei should have more important things to do. At the same time, he must have believed in our abilities, so don't mess around," Sasuke said.

"Yeah, I know."

The five people assembled, and they officially set out. Their destination, the Land of Demons!

On the other side, in the Sealed Land of the Land of Demons, Kakashi's figure quietly appeared.

"Is this the underground palace where Mōryō's soul was sealed before?" Kakashi murmured.

At this time, a puppy jumped on Kakashi's head.

And this puppy identity is Tetsuya.

"Kakashi-sama, this is where I can smell that unique smell."

"It seems that we are in correct place. After seeing this, it seems that this place have become a ruin."

"It should be caused by Mōryō after waking up."

"Will Rashōmon's core mentioned by Nanairo still be here?" Kakashi wondered.

"I don't know, but we can only get inside and take a look."

"Okay, let's go in and have a look."

Kakashi looked at the ruin, and feeling a little headache, 'Is there really anything left in this place?'

But now that he came here, he naturally can't just give up.

Kakashi then formed hand seals, and then shouted softly!

"Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu!" (Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique)

After that, Kakashi's body slowly sank into the soil.

Although it looks like a ruin on the outside, it retains its space inside due to its unique structure.

Kakashi quickly sneaked in and got out of the soil.

"Kakashi-sama, it's the stone gate in front!"

Hearing this, Kakashi looked at it. It is a dilapidated stone gate, which had been broken in the middle, and the hole was very neat.

He observed the surrounding and found nothing.

"It seems that there is nothing else here besides this stone gate." Kakashi muttered to himself and then walked over.

There were gravels beside the stone gate, which seemed to belong to the stone gate itself. After being broken, they fell here.

"Is this the sixth Rashōmon mentioned by Nanairo?" But it is completely different from the five Rashōmon."

Kakashi said puzzledly, and then, he reached out his right hand and fumbled on the stone gate a few times, but found nothing.

Looking at the hole in the middle, Kakashi wanted to reach out and touch it, but at this moment, Tetsuya immediately shouted: "Kakashi-sama, don't. The Miko from the past sealed Mōryō in the gap between the foreign world and this world. That is to say, beyond this stone gate, there may be a gap of the foreign world where was Mōryō sealed. If you go in, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out."

When Kakashi heard this, he quickly retracted his hand and said: "It's so dangerous."

"Yes, Mōryō is originally not something of this world. To be more precise, the Miko is not someone of this world either."

"What do you mean?"

"Miko and Mōryō are originally one body, just like human beings have both good and evil sides. The Miko represents the power of good, while Mōryō is the power of evil. But for unknown reason, the two are separated. The Miko reproduce from generation to generation through the inheritance of power, but Mōryō has been sealed because of its terrifying ambitions."

"It's really troublesome."

Kakashi looked at the stone gate again, feeling something is strange, then picked up a gravel from the ground and threw it towards the stone gate.

Only a soft bang was heard, and instead of entering the stone gate, the gravel was bounced back.

"This..."

Tetsuya was a little surprised when he saw this.

Kakashi frowned slightly and stretched out his hand again.

"Kakashi-sama!" Tetsuya exclaimed.

It's just that the scene that Tetsuya was worried about did not happen. Kakashi's hand did not go through the stone gate at all, and was blocked.

Behind the stone gate, there seemed to be a stone wall-like substance that Kakashi could not enter at all.

"What is going on?" Tetsuya came back to his senses, and said with some doubts.

"It seems that the seal in this stone gate was unsealed, the stone gate has lost its original strength. It is now just an ordinary stone gate."

Tetsuya was even more puzzled when he heard this and said: "How could this happen? Logically speaking, it is impossible for the sixth Rashōmon to have such a situation."

"That is to say, this stone gate is not the sixth Rashōmon. Didn't Nanairo say it before? The sixth Rashōmon is the core of Rashōmon, and not necessarily in the form of a gate."

"Kakashi-sama, you mean..."

Kakashi's right eye exudes a glimmer of light and says: "If I don't guess it wrong, this stone gate may be just a decoration. Otherwise, how can it be destroyed so easily? The real core of Rashōmon should have been taken away."

"It seems that this is the only explanation. But who has taken it?"

"The only one who possesses this ability should be the Miko who sealed Mōryō. I think what we are looking for may be in the possession of the current Miko, Shion."

"If that is the case, we have to hurry."

"Yeah, let's go."

As soon as Kakashi's voice fell, he disappeared from that place.

Somewhere in the Land of Demons, Sakura is carrying Shion while avoiding the enemy Shinobi's pursuit.

The rest of her teammates have already gone to fight the enemy one after another.

"I wonder if Sasuke-kun and the others are okay or not. The other party doesn't look weak."

Sakura muttered, but soon she quickly removes this thought from her head.

She believes that with Sasuke and the others' strengths, they will not lose against the enemy.

'Ah, someone is coming!'

Sakura suddenly felt something, and quickly looked back!

At this moment, a purple squirrel bites Sakura's neck!

'It's bad!'
