Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 172 Piece Of Paper

"It seems that this water current is the protection mechanism of Uzushiogakure back then. I didn't expect that after so many years, it would still have such power."

Kakashi sighed with emotions.

Whirlpools appear from time to time in this current, and if he runs out directly in this current, he will inevitably get caught by the whirlpools.

Kakashi looked around and selected a thick tree.

He stepped forward and patted the tree, and then he shows a satisfied smile. The Millennium Sword then appears on his right hand.

The Millennium Sword, that is extremely sharp, is a good weapon when cutting down trees.

It didn't take long for him to make a canoe from the tree.

Kakashi didn't stop there, but took the remaining wood out and cut it to make a dozen of planks and then he placed it on the canoe.

After doing all this, Kakashi slowly pushed the canoe into the water.

Chakra surging under Kakashi's feet, and without paddling, the canoe moves forward.

Ripples being formed as the canoe moves on the current, and the water seems calm.

But Kakashi did not show a relaxed expression, as he frowned slightly.

Under the current, Kakashi feels that there is chakra's movement, more precisely, it is a technique!

"Is this the cause of the whirlpool?"

Just as Kakashi muttered this, a huge whirlpool formed under the canoe and starts to spread.

Under the canoe, it instantly became a void.

'It's bad!'

Kakashi didn't expect this whirlpool to appear directly under his canoe, and there was also no warning at all.

At this moment, the idea of ??relying on canoe to escape is no longer realistic.

Kakashi picked up the planks he had prepared before and flicked it casually.

In an instant, more than a dozen planks flew out and become a ladder in the air.

Kakashi's gaze condensed, and then without hesitation, with the help of the last buoyancy of the canoe, Kakashi jumped out.

And in the next second, the canoe was swallowed by the whirlpool.

The planks did not fly high, and soon fell on the water.

Kakashi in midair was not idle, but stepped on the planks that are on the water one by one.

But it was strange that after Kakashi lands on the wooden plank, waves start surging, and then a whirlpool was formed at the plank location.

Every time Kakashi stepped on the plank, the plank was instantly swallowed by the whirlpool.

After jumping over more than a dozen planks, Kakashi still has a short distance from the shore.

Another whirlpool formed under him. According to Kakashi's estimation, if he was swallowed by this whirlpool, it would be very troublesome.

After all, he is not Hoshigaki Kisame, not suitable for living in the water.

All of the planks is gone now, so Kakashi can't jump anymore. But at this time, Kakashi does not panic, and directly forms a hand seal!

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

The exact same figure as Kakashi appeared on his side, Kakashi was not polite at all and stepped on his clone's back, and then he jumps again. After this, he finally land on the shore.

And then that shadow clone turned into a cloud of smoke.

"Hah, it's really dangerous. I don't expect that even after all this time, the Uzumaki Clan's defense still has this much power. How strong it is in their heyday?"

Kakashi was a little curious.

At the same time, he also wondered what kind of force that is able to destroy the village with this kind of defense.

Kakashi puts down these thoughts for the time being as he doesn't think it's worth thinking right now. After all, the most important thing right now is to get inside Uzushiogakure and look around.

Kakashi didn't pay attention to the water current anymore, and walked towards Uzushiogakure.

Uzushiogakure has been destroyed for a long time, and anything that has any value has already been taken away.

Here, in addition to the ruins, there is nothing else.

Rubble is all over the ground, and after 20 years, it looks really tranquil.

It's not big here, and it's much smaller than Konoha, so Kakashi only needed to walk for about one hour to finish looking around.

Kakashi felt disappointed, 'There seemed to be nothing here.'

In fact, Kakashi already expected this kind of scenario. After all, it has been a long time since this place was destroyed.

Twenty years was enough to change many things.

"It seems that I won't be able to gain anything here."

After the demise of the Uzumaki Clan, Konoha sent peoples over, and the leader at that time was Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo.

N one knows what happened at that time, but in order to cover his teammates, Hatake Sakumo was being left behind. And then, he disappeared for a year.

Sakumo's teammates returned to Konoha with many strange masks of the Uzumaki Clan.

At that time, Sandaime built an Uzumaki Clan's temple for these masks and enshrined them inside.

And one of these masks is a mask that hides the secrets of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

No one knows what Sakumo is doing when he disappeared for a year.

Even when he later reports about the mission, Sakumo did not mention anything about it.

The next year, Sakumo returned with the newly born Kakashi.

These are all the information that Kakashi could assemble during his time at Anbu.

After all, he manages to reach a very high rank when he works at Anbu all that time.

However, the specific content about Sakumo's whereabouts at that time is not described in detail.

This is also one of the reasons why Kakashi wants to go to Uzushigakure.

Perhaps he would be able to find something about his birth and mother.

But now, it seems that there is nothing but a ruin here.

Just when Kakashi thought he had come in vain, suddenly, something caught Kakashi's attention.

A piece of paper!

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, and he instantly appeared next to the piece of paper and grabs it.

"This is… the joss paper used for offering?"

The piece of paper in Kakashi's hand was obviously burnt, and the material and the type of the paper was a material used for the offering of the dead.

"Someone is offering joss paper here? Is it the orphan of Uzushiogakure?"

Kakashi touched his chin. 'The burnt marks on this piece of paper are not new. It seems that it has been around for a few days now.'

From this point of view, it is not easy to find where this piece of paper is coming from.

But looking for something is exactly Kakashi's strong point.

Kakashi starts forming hand seals!

Summoning Technique!

Bang!

The ninken in Shinobi's clothes appeared, and it was Pakkun.

"Oh, Kakashi, it's been a long time since I saw you, what's the matter?"

"Pakkun, help me find out where did this piece of paper come from."

Kakashi handed the piece of paper to Pakkun. After receiving it, Pakkun smelled the paper and said, "This piece of paper looks like it has been around for a few days. It's not easy to find its origin."

"Try your best. There has been no rain these days, so there should be some traces left."

"Okay, let me try."

Pakkun said, and then the chakra inside his body was concentrated in his nose. In an instant, his sense of smell was multiplied by several times.

"Huh?"

Pakkun was excited as he seemed to have discovered something.

"How is it?"

"I found it! Come with me!"

As Pakkun said that, his four short legs start to move as he runs, leaving trail of dust behind.

Kakashi was shocked and immediately followed after Pakkun.
