Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Kakashi didn't pay much attention to the unexpected encounter with Yūkimaru.

He just thought that this boy reminds him of a person he once met, Haku.

The boy who is as pure as snow.

It's just that in such a world, pure mind is sometimes not a good thing.

Yūkimaru is very similar to Haku. The most similar thing between them is probably that they both looked like girls.

But Kakashi doesn't know why, but he always has a familiar feeling when he looked at Yūkimaru, as if he had seen that face somewhere before.

'I'll talk to Mei for this mission. After all, she asked me to help investigate the whereabouts of Sanbi before.'

Kakashi suddenly thought of this matter, so he informed Mei using the special contact method between them.

...

Kirigakure, Mizukage Office.

Mei looked at the message in front of him with a trace of warmth appeared on her face.

The whereabouts of Sanbi is finally known, so Mei is thinking about whether to send someone to help.

After thinking for a while, Mei gave up on this idea.

She believed in Kakashi's ability.

If even Kakashi can't complete this mission, then the people she sent won't be able to help.

What's more, if Kirigakure's Shinobi appeared at this time, it would inevitably cause some misunderstandings.

After all, the source of this intelligence is Kakashi. If it leaks out, it will not be good for Kakashi.

Therefore, Mei chose to suppress this impulse, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Kakashi.

'I'll leave it to you.' Mei secretly thought in her heart.

Early the next morning, Kakashi woke up slowly, and saw that the sun was shining outside the window.

Yamato is doing the night watch for the second half of the night, giving Kakashi time to rest for a few hours.

Everyone supplemented their body's nutrition and set off again.

Under a big tree, Kakashi found a pool of blood.

"This should be the last trace of the Anbu who had previously sent the information. He should have died here," Kakashi said faintly.

When the members of Anbu clearly realized that they could not escape, in order to protect the information in their minds, they would destroy their bodies with a kind of Ninjutsu, leaving nothing but a pool of blood.

The people of Anbu always carry the darkness in their backs. As for what the purpose is, they may not even be able to tell it themselves.

Is it for loyalty? Or is it for their respective beliefs? Or is it for the Konoha who gave birth to them?

When Kakashi and Yamato, who are also from Anbu, looked at this pool of blood, they felt a little fluctuation in their hearts.

But they had been accustomed to seeing life and death, so they quickly suppressed this fluctuation.

This is also because there is still a part of human affection in their hearts, otherwise, even fluctuations like this will not occur.

"Kakashi-senpai, does that mean the clues end here?" Yamato said.

"Since this is where the Anbu was before he died, there must be some clues around here, and..."

Kakashi said as he put his hand into the pool of blood and then took out a diamond-shaped thing.

"This thing is also a valuable clue."

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw this. They didn't expect that there would be any hidden gadget in this pool of blood. If it wasn't because of Kakashi's careful observation, they won't know about it.

"What is that?"

Kakashi narrowed his eye and said, "It should be a crystal. It looks like a residue of Ninjutsu. Hinata, give me some water."

"Huh? Okay, Kakashi-sensei."

Suddenly being caleed, Hinata was taken aback, but soon she took out the water bottle she was carrying and handed it to Kakashi.

Kakashi took it, poured the water out, and cleaned the diamond-shaped thing.

In an instant, a pink diamond-shaped crystal appeared in front of everyone.

"This is... a pink crystal?" said Yamato.

"It's Crystal Release," Kakashi said faintly.

"Crystal Release?" Yamato was taken aback as he had never heard of this Kekkei Genkai before.

"It is a special kind of Kekkei Genkai. When executing a mission before, I had once fought with Orochimaru's subordinate, and that person was a Crystal Release's user," Kakashi explained.

"So it's like that. That means this Anbu has indeed fought against Orochimaru's subordinates. And it is very likely that he was seriously injured because of this, and finally chose to destroy his body."

"It should be so."

At this moment, Akamaru suddenly started barking.

"Woof Woof!"

Hearing this, Kakashi looked at Akamaru and said, "Kiba, what's the matter?"

Kiba said with a solemn expression: "Akamaru smelled a stinky smell, and I think that it should be a corpse scent. And for it to be this strong, the number of corpses should exceed a hundred."

"Can you determine where it is?"

"Well, it's not difficult as this smell is very heavy. It's almost three kilometers ahead."

"Okay, everyone set out, but pay attention and stay alert! Hinata, use your Byakugan to look at the surrounding."

"Okay!"

Everyone set off again towards the smell.

Sai is at the back of the team. Looking at Kakashi's back, many thoughts emerged in his mind.

Originally, Sai thought that with Kakashi's ability, many things should be arbitrary.

But to Sai's surprise, Kakashi seemed to pay special attention to teamwork.

Whether it is marching or investigating, it will use his and his teammates' abilities.

Of course Sai would not think that it was because Kakashi didn't have a corresponding solution.

He knew from the record in the Root, Kakashi's ability is almost omnipotent.

For example, right now, Kakashi let Kiba guide them to the smell's source.

It should be known that Kakashi's ninja dog also possesses the ability to find this smell, even more powerful than Kiba and Akamaru.

Another example is to let Hinata used her Byakugan to look at the surrounding, as Kakashi's perception ability should be able to do the same.

But Kakashi still let them both do it, which showed his trust on his team.

Therefore, this surprised Sai.

This is like the behavior of people who come from Anbu.

He has followed Kakashi and Team 7 before, but because Team 7 was the team Kakashi led, he knew that Kakashi already has a tacit understanding with them.

But now, with a completely unfamiliar combination of teammates, Kakashi can still do this kind of thing, which surprised Sai very much.

Just as Sai was thinking about Kakashi, everyone arrived at a cave's entrance.

"Kakashi-sensei, the source of the smell is inside." Kiba said confidently.

Kakashi sniffed lightly, and then frowned. 'The corpse scent here was indeed really strong.'

"Everyone, be careful, let's go in and take a look."

Everyone nodded and walked into the cave one after another.

Nothing happened along the way, and soon they reached the end of the cave.

The scene before them surprised everyone.

Corpse!

Corpses everywhere!

A mountain of corpses!

Seeing this kind of scene, even Kakashi, who was used to seeing such scenes, was a little surprised.

After all, this kind of scene usually can only be seen on the battlefield.

But obviously, this is not a battlefield.

'With this kind of wound and scene, these people seem to be killing each other.'
