Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 525: The Snake Arrives

This unknown lake suddenly became a very popular place.

Konoha, Kirigakure, Otogakure, and the Akatsuki, the four major forces in the Shinobi World cast their eyes on this place one after another.

Located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, this place is a remote area.

Therefore, even if there is a big disturbance in the past few days, it didn't have much impact to the outside world.

Kakashi and the others are not in a hurry to capture Sanbi, but wait for the arrival of the Kirigakure's team.

At the same time, they were also searching for Guren and the others' whereabouts.

However, they don't know why, but since that time, Guren and her team have never been seen again.

The situation turned into a deadlock.

However, the calmer the surface, the greater the waves that will be set off.

This may be the last silence before the great storm.

Kakashi felt the oppressive feeling as he waited at this time.

'I always feel that the matter this time is not that simple.' Kakashi thought as he looked at the heavy rain that started outside.

"Kakashi-senpai, I still haven't found any trace of Guren and the others."

Yamato ran in from outside and his clothes are a little wet because of the rain.

"It seems that they are hiding and don't want us to find them. This place is very big. If they intentionally hide themselves, it won't be easy to find them."

Kakashi said, turning his head and looked at Yamato whose hair was a little wet.

"Seeing the current situation, it should be the case." Yamato replied.

Kakashi took out the towel that placed on the side, threw it to Yamato, and said with a smile: "Wipe it, your hair is wet."

Yamato was taken aback, and then smiled: "It's just a little rain, it's nothing."

"As a Shinobi, you have to take care of your body. Not long from now, I'm afraid there will be a big trouble, so we have to be in our peak."

"What did you discover, Kakashi-senpai?" Yamato wondered.

Kakashi shook his head and said, "It's just a feeling. Are Hinata and the others still exploring outside?"

"Yeah, they are in groups of four. Now that it is raining, they should be back soon." Yamato said.

After Yamato finished speaking, the door opened, and several people came in.

It is Hinata, Kiba, Shino and Sai.

"Kakashi-sensei, we did not find any clues. This heavy rain also washed away the remaining smell." Kiba was the first one to speak.

And Akamaru shook his body and splashed the water on his fur around.

"Akamaru!" Kiba said reproachfully when he saw this.

Akamaru looked at him innocently.

"You guys have worked hard. You all should take a rest first. Let's slow down the search for now. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, so now we have fallen into a passive situation. What we can do now is to sit back and wait. Sanbi is still in the lake, so they will do something sooner or later," Kakashi said.

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

After arranging everyone to rest, Kakashi stood by the window and looked at the world outside. At this time, it was foggy and heavy rain was still pouring.

On the other side, in the wooden house somewhere in the forest, Guren was lying on the side of a bed, looking very tired, and she seemed to have entered a light sleep.

The person lying on the bed is Yūkimaru.

At this time, Yūkimaru had already woken up.

"Guren-nee..."

Yūkimaru whispered while looking at Guren who was on the side of his bed.

Hearing this, Guren opened her eyes immediately. Seeing Yūkimaru has woken up, Guren couldn't help but feel happy.

"Yūkimaru, you are awake. How are you feeling? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Seeing that Guren cares about himself so much, the corner of Yūkimaru's mouth showed a smile.

"I'm fine, Guren-nee." Yūkimaru said with a smile.

The gentle smile on that face made Guren felt guilty.

'He obviously suffered such a serious backlash before, and the state of his body has become very bad. But at this time, he is still thinking about comforting me.'

The guilt in Guren's heart became even heavier.

"Yūkimaru, I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me..."

"No..."

When Guren has just started talking, she was interrupted by Yūkimaru.

Yūkimaru shook his head and said, "No, I don't blame Guren-nee. What Guren-nee is going to do is important, right? Guren-nee cares too much about it, right? I'm happy that I can help Guren-nee. It's just that I'm too useless, I can't hold on for longer..."

When Yūkimaru said this, he was suddenly being hugged by Guren.

Yūkimaru was taken aback for a moment, and then a small smile appeared on his face.

"Guren-nee smells really good, like kaa-san..."

As if he was too tired, Yūkimaru fell into a deep sleep again as soon as he finished speaking.

Guren gently laid him on the bed. At this time, a crystal fell from Yūkimaru's body, and fell into the ground. There is a small crack on the crystal, and a whole camellia was sealed inside.

This is what Guren had given him.

Guren picked it up and muttered: "Have you always carried it with you all the time? Yūkimaru... If you know the truth of the matter, will you hate me?"

Guren sighed and then put her palms on the crystal. At this moment, the crack on the crystal disappeared, and then, she placed the crystal on the head of Yūkimaru's bed.

The memory that was once sealed by herself has become clearer in her mind at this time.

Guren looks at her own hands at this time. It was those hands that killed Yūkimaru's mother.

And Yūkimaru's mother was once her savior.

But because of Orochimaru's order, Guren did something against her will.

Guren felt very guilty for a while, 'Why did I do that at that time?'

'Is it wrong? Or is Orochimaru-sama wrong?'

Guren then chuckled lightly and left the room.

But Yūkimaru's face was always smiling, and he even began to talk in sleep.

"Kaa-san, I have found someone who cared for me, and I now have my own home."

In the empty room, calm was restored again.

Guren came to the outside of the room, and saw that Rinji and the other four were sitting in the lobby and resting.

"Rinji, how is the situation outside?"

"Guren-san, the rain outside is very heavy, and the smell we left before should have been washed away. Now, Konoha's people should not be able to find us for a while."

"Good, but don't take them lightly. Those people are not ordinary people."

"Understood, Guren-san."

"Haha, Guren, you are still as cautious as ever. It seems that leaving this matter to you is indeed the right choice."

An abrupt voice sounded, and everyone present was shocked.

They were so familiar with this voice.

Everyone looked at the door, and saw two people in raincoats slowly walk in.

The cold and gloomy feeling from the newcomer caused the temperature of the entire room to drop by a few degrees.

"Orochimaru-sama?" Guren exclaimed with some uncertainty.

The visitor slowly took off his hood, revealing his pale face and golden pupils.

"Guren, long time no see."
