Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Konoha.

Hokage Office.

Minato showed a solemn look.

"Minato-sensei, we didn't gain much from our mission just now, and that mysterious organization seems to have left." Obito reported.

"Okay, I understand. It seems that things have become more troublesome." Minato said.

"What happened?" Kakashi asked.

"After Nibi's, Sanbi, Yonbi, Gobi, Rokubi, and Nanabi's Jinchūriki were killed one after another, and all of their Bijū disappeared. I'm afraid this is an organization that is targeting the Bijū." Minato said.

"Doesn't that mean that they are likely to take target Kushina-nee?" Obito asked.

Minato's face became more solemn when he heard this, and then he said: "Yes. If that's the case, Kushina should probably also one of their targets. Currently, only Sunagakure's Ichibi, Kumogakure's Hachibi and Kushina left. "

"What do these guys want to do by collecting the Bijū?" Obito was confused.

"Are they going to use the Bijū to start a war?" Rin guessed.

"That is indeed possible, but the specific situation is hard to say. But now that it has reached this point, no matter what the other party's purpose is, the Five Great Shinobi Villages won't just let them go." Minato said.

"And how do they do that?" Obito asked.

"Originally, the union of five Kage was the best strategy. It's just that they are solving the problem about the Bijū's disappearance. Kakashi, Obito, Rin, I want you three to continue investigate this matter. I will also send others to investigate it. Be sure to resolve this issue as soon as possible."

"Yes, Minato-sensei!" Kakashi and his teammates responded.

"If you meet them, don't rush to fight. For them to be able to collect six Bijū in such a short period of time, their strength must be extremely terrifying. More strength will be needed to fight against them."

"Understood!"

"Good, Obito, Rin, you go and prepare. Kakashi, you stay, I have something to tell you."

After hearing this, Obito and Rin glanced at Kakashi, and then walked out.

Kakashi was a little puzzled about what Minato wanted to tell to him.

Outside.

"Rin, what do think Minato-sensei is going to say to Kakashi?"

"I don't know. But it should be something important."

"Hah, Minato-sensei isn't going to scold Kakashi, right?" Obito asked suspiciously.

Rin couldn't help but smile when she heard this and said: "You think too much, Minato-sensei is not such a person. Okay, let's prepare quickly, we need to set off as soon as possible."

"Okay!"

In the office.

Minato's gaze is focused on Kakashi.

It's a gaze full of scrutiny.

That gaze made Kakashi quite uncomfortable.

"You are not the familiar Kakashi, right?"

Minato's sudden words surprised Kakashi.

But in an instant, Kakashi calmed down.

But this instant is enough for Minato to know the answer.

"Sure enough, if I didn't guess wrong, you came here during Rōran's mission, right? What about the original Kakashi?" Minato asked.

"Rōran?" Kakashi wondered.

"Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are quite puzzled about this. But I also have a lot of doubts about you. At the beginning when you just came back from Rōran, although you're not much different the original, there are a lot more of hostility on your body than usual."

"That's not me." Kakasi said directly.

He doesn't know why, but after being seen through by Minato, Kakashi didn't have the thought to hide it.

He wanted to explain it clearly.

"Not you? It seems that the situation is more complicated than I thought." Minato frowned.

"Minato-sensei, do you know what's going on?"

"It's just my guess. There is the Ryūmyaku Vein in Rōran, which has the ability to travel through time. But many people don't know that in fact, the Ryūmyaku Vein sometimes change, causing the disorder in parallel time and space. I'm guessing that the Kakashi who came back from Rōran came from another parallel time and space. But I'm not sure."

After he said that halfway through, Minato looked at Kakashi and said: "As for you, it should be the same, right?"

"Parallel time and space? Perhaps it can be said like that."

"If we want to restore the stability of time and space, we must get rid of the unstable factors. The key to the problem now is who on earth disrupted time and space. Kakashi, do you know who is it?" Minato asked.

When Kakashi heard Minato's question, the masked Obito appeared in his mind.

'If nothing is wrong, he should be the one responsible for all these things.'

"From your expression, it seems that you have guesses. Then, are you willing to solve this problem and restore order?"

Kakashi looked at Minato's blue eyes and didn't know how to answer for a while.

'Give up everything in this perfect world and go back to reality?'

Kakashi has not thought of an answer for this question yet.

"Minato-sensei, which one will you choose, the cruel reality or the beautiful illusion?" Kakashi asked.

Minato was slightly surprised upon hearing Kakashi's question, but he then said with a smile: "Kakashi, no matter how cruel the reality is, isn't there something beautiful in it? There will always be something you can't give up, right?"

"The beauty in the cruel reality?"

After leaving Hokage Office, Kakashi felt something.

'Maybe I shouldn't run away.'

'Whether it is beautiful or not, there is always something I can't give up.'

Kakashi's heart moved after thinking about it. Then, Chakra burst out from the soles of his feet and he disappeared from Konoha.

In the office, Minato said in a low voice, "Have you found the answer?"

Kakashi ran all the way, rushing towards somewhere.

The scenery around him kept changing.

The Sage Mode's mark gradually emerged on Kakashi's face, and his perception exploded.

"There!"

Kakashi instantly sensed the silver-white haired man's trail, and his movement speed became even faster.

Somewhere outside the Land of Fire.

After the silver-white haired man finished absorbing Nanabi's Chakra, he showed a satisfied smile.

"It's almost done. With the power of the Bijū, I presumed that the Nine Beasts can also exert stronger combat power."

"Which should be my next target? Killer B's Hachibi, or Gaara's Ichibi."

"Next target? Maybe it has already come by itself." The masked Obito said.

The silver-white haired man's heart was filled with disgust at his moment. He knew that man has come again.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Kakashi appeared in front of the two.

"Obito, you really are here."

"Oh? You got here so quickly. Have you already made your choice?"

There was a bit of curiosity in the masked Obito's eyes as he said that.

"I don't know the answer. But I think this side is indispensable. Whether I will be staying or leaving. "

"Is that so?" The masked Obito said thoughtfully.

Kakashi looked at the silver-white haired man and said, "Come on, let's just end this and return to your own time and space. This place is not for you."

Hearing this, the silver-white haired man looked at Kakashi directly and said in a low voice, "As you wish."
