Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chiriku's eyes became a little erratic, as if he was reminiscing something.

"Thirty years ago, something happened. I wonder if Kakashi-san knew about it."

"What incident?" Kakashi asked.

"A teenager named Nawaki died on the battlefield."

"Nawaki? Tsunade-sama's younger brother?"

"Yes, it is him. He is hailed as a genius born in the Senju Clan every 50 years and he is the most promising person that may inherit the Shodaime Hokage's Wood Release. But such a young talent died on the battlefield. "

"I have slightly heard about it."

"At that time, Nawaki strayed into the enemy's trap and was wounded by the explosive tags. When he was found, all the internal organs in his body disappeared."

Hearing this, Kakashi was taken aback for a moment and said: "His internal organs disappeared? How could that be? If it is a large number of explosive tags, it can indeed blow the human body into pieces, but it is not realistic if only the internal organs disappeared. Did someone do something to Nawaki's body after he died?"

Chiriku shook his head and said: "I don't know about that as I was still just a little kid at that time. But it was because of this incident that the Senju Clan who still existed in Konoha immediately realized that someone wants to do something against the Senju Clan."

"So... Senju Clan decided to dividing themselves?" Kakashi speculated.

Chiriku nodded slightly and said: "The years of battles have made the Senju Clan who were strong in the past gradually fade. In every battle, the Senju Clan are always at the forefront, so even if their physique is powerful, they are the fastest to die."

Chiriku paused and then continued: "The death of Nawaki has sounded the final alarm of the Senju Clan. Therefore, the Clan Head of the Senju Clan at that time, apart from the clansmen who have already married to the other clans, the rest of the clansmen would disperse. Some have left Konoha Village, while some of the others live as commoners in Konoha Village. With this, the Senju Clan's inheritance is guaranteed."

"And the Haruno Clan was the Senju Clan's clansmen that turned into commoner. Back then, Haruno Kizashi, the father of Haruno Sakura, was once a famous genius of the Senju Clan. At that time, his growth was very amazing. If he continues to develop, it may not be impossible for him to become the Yondaime Hokage. It is just that for the sake of the clan, he gave up his original status and fake his death in a battle. Later, Tsunade-sama personally changed his face and he became Haruno Kizashi."

Kakashi was very shocked upon hearing this. He didn't expect that Sakura's father would be such a genius in the Shinobi World.

Chiriku sighed and continued: "And my family line is the one that moved out of Konoha. Although it is said that we moved out of Konoha, our relationship with Konoha is not really different. The Twelve Guardian Shinobi was founded by our people. While protecting the Daimyo, they also guarded Konoha. But I didn't expect that it was now ruined to the point that I was the only one left. "

Kakashi continued to digest the information and his heart was full of shock. He didn't expect that the once-powerful Senju Clan that didn't lose to the Uchiha Clan would end like this. Thinking of it, it was really sad.

"So it's like that. No wonder the Senju Clan disappeared in just a short period of time, and almost no one knew their whereabouts," Kakashi said.

"Except for the clansmen of the Senju Clan, only Sandaime Hokage knew about this. Because his wife, Sarutobi Biwako, was originally a member of my Senju Clan."

The reason Sandaime Hokage became the successor of the Nidaime Hokage is not only because of his outstanding ability, but also because he is the son-in-law of the Senju Clan.

With such relationship, it is no wonder the Sandaime Hokage become very successful.

Kakashi was a little speechless when he heard this. He didn't expect that after a long time, there's still shadow of the Senju Clan in Konoha.

The influence of the Senju Clan is really amazing.

"Kakashi, it is not without reason I tell you this. First, because you have already guessed the identity of Haruno Sakura, this secret can't be kept from you anymore. Second, as the future Rokudaime Hokage, you will know about this matter sooner or later. "

Kakashi just nodded when he heard this. He knew what this secret meant.

He also know that knowing this secret represents how much trust Tsunade and Senju Clan have in him.

Trust is something that can't be obtained easily.

"As for what you just said at the start, Raigō: Senjusatsu is indeed the secret technique of the Senju Clan. Back then, Hashirama-sama shook the whole Shinobi World with his Wood Release. However, Wood Release Shinobi has never appeared again in the Senju Clan. The ancestors were helpless and couldn't bear the loss of this Ninjutsu, so they chose to record it. One copy was left in Konoha, and one was taken away by our family line."

"After that, there was a genius of my Senju Clan that through studying Wood Release was able to create a similar Ninjutsu, which was Gift of the Hermit Group that was used in Raigō: Senjusatsu. And that ancestor finally chose to become a monk at the Fire Temple. From then on, the Fire Temple spread rumors that the monks in the temple would have Gift of the Hermit Group that can make them use a special technique. In fact, that is something created by the Senju Clan."

"When I was a child, I grew up in this Fire Temple and was able to learn this technique. I also took advantage of this technique to occupy get the position as one of the Twelve Guardian Shinobi. Later I met Asuma and learned that he is the son of Sandaime Hokage so I passed this technique to him. After all, there is no one else in my family line. If this technique is lost, it would be a shame."

"That's the case. Now, do you have any questions?"

Chiriku explained everything to Kakashi.

It also includes the so-called Gift of the Hermit Group which has been praised by the outside world for a long time.

In Kakashi's view, the so-called Gift of the Hermit Group does have a little Natural Energy blended into it.

The so-called Raigō: Senjusatsu, is an offensive technique driven by Natural Energy with one's own chakra.

However, because the Natural Energy has not been transformed into the Senjutsu Chakra, in terms of power, it is much worse than the Senjutsu.

But even so, compared to other Ninjutsu, it is already very powerful.

'No wonder Chiriku was able to burst out with such a formidable strength before.'

Kakashi shook and chuckled, feeling slightly helpless.

"This secret really caught me off guard. Knowing it may not be a good thing."

Chiriku smiled and said: "Kakashi-san, the so-called secrets have always come at a price."

Kakashi nodded when he heard this.

"The rest is up to you, Kakashi-san."

Kakashi felt his shoulder a little heavy as it seemed that he was entrusted with strange things somehow.

As his teacher, Kakashi naturally has the responsibility and obligation to protect Sakura.

It's just that now it has become a bit strange.
