Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Inside Kakashi's house, Kakashi and Shisui are sitting in the courtyard, with a tea tray in front of them.

The kettle was puffing.

Kakashi picked the kettle up and poured the water into the teapot.

After a while, the tea was brewed, and Kakashi poured it into two cups and placed one of it in front of Shisui.

"Shisui, what are you going to do next? The Root won't be easy to handle."

Kakashi said, taking a sip of the hot tea.

"I can only try to find a few breakthroughs first. Although I have been in the Root for a while, but after so long, I don't know how the Root is today."

"Is that so? If you want to find some breakthroughs, I have a suggestion." Kakashi said with a smile.

"Huh? What is it?"

"There is a person with codename Sai in the Root. He is good at Painting Ninjutsu. His comprehensive ability is also excellent. Although he is also nurtured by the Root, he still has warmth in his heart. He was incorporated into my team before, so I also have some understanding of him. He also played a role in dealing with Danzo. He may be able to help you to take care of the Root."

When Shisui heard this, his eyes lit up and said: "Where is he now?"

"He is naturally in Konoha's prison. There were too many things happened before. The Pain's invasion immediately happened after Hiruko's matter, so there is no time to deal with the Root. Next, it depends on your methods. All these times, you have been taking care of the whole Ochagakure. Now that it is taking care of the small Root, there should be no problem, right?" Kakashi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shisui said helplessly: "You sure are making me work hard."

"It is good to work hard." Kakashi said with a smile.

"Forget it. What do you want to do with the Hatake Clan? After all, that is your clan, so it is better for you to arrange for it than me."

Kakashi pondered for a moment and said: "Are all of the Ochagakure's people on the way?"

"Well, Ryuga is leading them over and it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow."

"Well, I will take care of them entering Konoha tomorrow. By the way, the original Ochagakure's location should not be given up easily. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

"Of course, after all, my hard work for so many years, so how can I easily give it up. I left some people there, and the original Ochagakure's location will become a branch of Konoha."

"Well, in this way, Ochagakure's matters can be considered as arranged properly."

"The next step is to wait for the news from Itachi. After dealing with Hachibi's matter, he should be back. I really miss the days with Itachi in Konoha." Shisui said with a smile.

"If Itachi comes back, it is estimated that he can only be in Anbu for the time being. His identity is not suitable for appearing on the bright side right now."

"It's okay. Itachi and I don't care about these things."

"Well, that's good then. You should still deal with the Root as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shisui said helplessly: "You're really ruthless. You pushed me to work as soon as I came back."

Having said that, Shisui still drank the tea in the cup, then stood up and left.

Kakashi smiled upon seeing this: "Thank you, Shisui."

At the center of Konoha, the buildings that were originally destroyed by Pain are being renovated right now.

Some of them were completed by Yamato, who was proficient in Wood Release, and the rest was handed over to the craftsmen.

After all, Yamato is not omnipotent. Let's not talk about the problem of his Chakra consumption, as these buildings cannot be all made from wood.

Kakashi came from a distance and saw that Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were chatting with an old man and a young man.

This surprised Kakashi quite a bit.

After all, these two people don't seem to belong to Konoha.

But they looked a little familiar.

Both of them were dressed as carpenters, and they seemed to be the craftsmen Konoha had invited to rebuild the village.

'Just why do I feel them familiar?'

Curious, Kakashi walked over.

"Naruto-nii, I really wanted to thank you for the previous time. Otherwise, I might be already dead."

"Hahaha, no need to say that, I just do what is right."

Naruto and the young man talked familiarly, as if they had been friends for many years.

Kakashi in the distance finally recognized the two at this time.

It turned out to be Tazuna and Inari.

They are the clients from the Land of Waves which was the first time Team 7 go out of the village to perform a mission.

Kakashi was a little bit emotional when he saw this, as he felt that the years passed by really fast.

Sasuke and the others haven't found Kakashi yet. And Tazuna asked with some curiosity: "Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, why didn't I see Kakashi-san? Is there something going on in the village?"

"Kakashi-sensei? I don't know, I haven't seen him too today," Naruto scratched his head and said.

When Kakashi heard this, he suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, and said with a smile: "Is Tazuna-san looking for me?"

Everyone was shocked when they saw Kakashi suddenly appeared.

"Hah, Kakashi-sensei, why do you suddenly appear like that every time? It's really shocking." Naruto complained.

"Is that so? Sorry, sorry." Kakashi said with a smile.

Although Kakashi apologize, there was no sign of repentance in his tone.

It was obvious that Kakashi will still appear like this next time.

Because seeing the surprised expression of Team 7 has become a unique pleasure for Kakashi.

At this moment, Tazuna said: "Kakashi-san, long time no see."

"It's been a long time indeed, maybe three years. I heard that Tazuna-san is now a respected figure in the Land of Waves. I even heard that the Daimyō mansion was redesigned and built by Tazuna-san." Kakashi said with a smile.

A little proud appeared on Tazuna's face when he heard this, but he said modestly: "Don't praise me like that, Kakashi-san. I'm just a carpenter."

"Tazuna-san sure is humble. Is Tazuna-san personally responsible for Konoha's reconstruction this time?"

"Yeah, after receiving Konoha's invitation, I came over with Inari. I will definitely make Konoha better than before."

"Is that Inari?"

Kakashi said, looking at the young man.

He didn't expect the cowardly kid wearing the hat would grow up and become a confident teenager.

There was a sense of firmness in his eyes.

Sure enough, he is not comparable to before.

He has grown up.

Seeing the young face that has gradually matured, Kakashi suddenly felt old.

Before he knew it, he was already thirty years old.

And his thirty-first birthday would be just a few months later.

"Hello, Kakashi-san," Inari greeted respectfully.

Kakashi smiled and said: "Inari, you seem to have changed a lot."

Inari smiled and flexed his biceps, and then said, "Well! I will be the successor to my grandfather and become the best carpenter!"

"That's good Inari. As for I, I will become the greatest Hokage," Naruto said at this time.
