Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 420 - Sasori's Poison

The waves were rippling, and Tetsuken's face was pale.

Kakashi gently retracted the Millennium Sword and put it back into its scabbard.

This scabbard was used when Kakashi first came to the Land of Iron back then, and has been placed in the seal scroll ever since.

Until this time, he remembered about it and then used it when he entered the Land of Iron again.

Tetsuken smiled bitterly, and said: "I lost, with you having such speed, my swordsmanship was unable to defeat you. I didn't expect that after eight years of hard work, I would still be inferior to you."

Hearing this, Kakashi smiled and said: "You are making progress, so I naturally won't just stand still."

"Yeah, that's true, but I still can't see where your limit is." Tetsuken said helplessly.

"In your opinion, I may be already invicible, but in my opinion, it is still not enough." Kakashi looked at Tetsuken and said.

Tetsuken was taken aback for a moment and asked: "Kakashi, where is your goal?"

Kakashi looked at the sky and said, "Maybe it is on the other side of the sky."

Tetsuken was even more puzzled after hearing this.

"It seems that the outcome has been decided." Mifune said softly.

Osuke nodded and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect Tetsuken would lose. That Kakashi is outrageously strong."

Mifune laughed and said: "Yeah, he is outrageously strong. Just by relying on swordsmanship, he can already be equal to Tetsuken. After using that improved version of Shunpo, he can crush Tetsuken easily. I really wonder what it would be like if such a person use all of his strength."

"Mifune-sama, you mean… his strength has reached the pinnacle of this Shinobi World?" Osuke asked.

Mifune shook his head, and then nodded, making Osuke even more confused.

'It's shaking head, and then its nod, what is it mean?'

"Mifune-sama, what do you…"

"It is still too early to call him the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, but in the Shinobi World right now, I can't think of anyone who can defeat him in a one-on-one battle." said Mifune.

Osuke was taken aback. He understood what Mifune means is that even if Kakashi was not the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, he wouldn't be far off from it.

Of course, this is only in their opinion.

Kakashi has never thought so.

When the second elder who is in the distance saw Tetsuken was defeated, his expression became furious, and then he yelled angrily: "That waste!"

Immediately, the second elder rushed towards the battle location and leaped, landing in front of Tetsuken and Kakashi.

"Jii-san?" Tetsuken was taken aback when he saw this.

Kakashi is not surprised at all.

With his perception, he naturally knew there were people watching him here.

Not long after the second elder landed, dozens of Samurai also jumped into the sky and landed behind the second elder.

Tetsuken was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Jii-san, what are you doing?"

"Hmph, you waste. You actually lost to this person from Hatake Clan. Not only did you fail to get revenge for your father, but you also embarrassed the Hokubu Clan! I really disappointed teaching you for so many years!" The second elder said sharply.

"Jii-san, why are you still thinking about those useless reputations! Can the Hokubu Clan remain undefeated? Back then Konoha's White Fang, and now Konoha's strongest Shinobi, Hatake Kakashi. Do you know what kind of expert these two people are? Is it really unacceptable for the Hokubu Clan to lose to them?" Tetsuken shouted.

"No! No matter who is it! We should never allow them to defeat our Hokubu Clan!" said the second elder looked at Tetsuken viciously and said.

That expression didn't look like a grandfather look at his grandson, but a person looking at an enemy.

Tetsuken shook his head in disappointment and said: "Jii-san, Clan Head, the first elder and the third elder have already let go of this grudge. Why are you still so persistent?"

"Hmph, they are all traitors of the Hokubu Clan. They already forget the glory of the Hokubu Clan! They are all bastards! Tetsuken, you are my grandson, you should listen to me and kill all those traitors of the Hokubu Clan. By then, I will be able to lead the Hokubu Clan to a higher peak!"

"Jii-san…"

"Hmph, don't talk. I will only ask you a question, now, would you obey my order and kill this Hatake Kakashi?"

"Jii-san, even if I am willing to obey your order, I can't beat Gintoki. You have just seen it, right?" Tetsuken said helplessly.

The second elder looked at Kakashi upon hearing this, and sneered: "Hatake Kakashi, you are exactly the same as that White Fang back then, whether it is from the appearance or the swordsmanship."

"Thank you for the praise." Kakashi said with a smile.

"But even if you are strong, it is useless. It's almost the time. Do you feel some pain in your chest now?" The second elder said with a sneer.

Kakashi was shocked when he heard this. His chest is indeed aching right now.

"This… how do you know?" Kakashi asked in surprise.

"Haha, of course I know. Do you remember the cup of tea you drink this morning?"

Kakashi was surprised and said, "Did you…!"

"Yeah! I put a strong poison into that tea! This poison is something I spent a lot of effort to obtain from Sunagakure's missing-nin, Sasori of the Red Sand. You should feel proud to make me give this poison to you."

When Kakashi heard this, he coughed and a bit of blood was spurted out from his mouth. After that, he half-kneeled on the ground with a painful expression on his face.

"You… despicable!"

The second elder laughed at Kakashi's words and said: "Hahaha, only the winner has the power to say who is despicable, the loser is not qualified!"

Tetsuken was shocked when he saw this and quickly helped Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, are you okay?"

Kakashi can only shook his head, as it seemed it is too painful for him to say a word.

Seeing this, Tetsuken was anxious, and said to the second elder: "Jii-san, hurry up and hand over the antidote!"

The second elder sneered, and said: "Do you think that a character like Sasori of the Red Sand would prepare an antidote for his own poison? This is a poison without any cure! Kakashi will die here!"

"You! You are too much!" Tetsuken roared furiously. The anger that had originally accumulated against the second elder broke out at this moment!

"Hmph, what a useless grandson! You actually dare to talk to me like this! Sure enough, it is impossible to expect you to kill Kakashi. You brat is just like your father, just a waste! Actually speaking for the enemy!" The second elder said angrily.

Tetsuken was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Tou-san?"

"Hmph! That's right, your silly father! After losing to White Fang, not only he did not think about how to get revenge, but he also praised him very much, saying what great Shinobi White Fang is, it's ridiculous! He also prevented me from chasing White Fang down, and finally died at home. He is the greatest shame of my Hokubu Clan in a century!"

Tetsuken was shocked when he heard this and muttered: "Then… why did tou-san died in depression?"

"Died in depression? Hahaha, let me tell you, your father was imprisoned by me and starved to death! As a disobedient chess piece, there is no need for him to live anymore!"

"What? How could it be!" Tetsuken was so shocked that he can only stood there blankly, completely unable to believe what he had heard at this moment.

"Even tiger would never hurt his own child. How can you treat your son like that?" At this time, Kakashi muttered.

The second elder snorted coldly and said, "Who told you that he is my son? He's just a pawn that I took from my dead brother! What qualifications does he have to be my son? He's just a waste. Nothing!"
