Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 424 - A Journey To Find The Meaning Of Life

In the Hokage Tower, Kakashi quickly rushed in with Tetsuken on his arms.

"Tsunade-sama!" Kakashi hurriedly called.

At this moment, Tsunade is busy with her paperwork, and Shizune is holding Tonton. Seeing the door open, they looked at the door at the same time.

They are all familiar with the person who came in. After all, he's the Konoha's Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi.

But his appearance at this moment is a bit strange to them.

A handsome face with a beauty mole on the corner of his mouth.

Tsunade was slightly astonished, and for a moment, she didn't even notice Tetsuken who is in Kakashi's arms.

Shizune was also surprised, and then two red blushed appeared on her cheeks.

"Kakashi?" Tsunade called tentatively.

Kakashi didn't pay attention to the reaction of the two women at this time, but said: "Tsunade-sama, this person is the leader of the Land of Iron, Mifune's student, Tetsuken. He is also the one who sent that letter of challenge. Because of a little accident, his lungs were stabbed. Please treat him, Tsunade-sama."

Kakashi said quickly, but his words were very clear, so Tsunade heard very clearly.

At this moment, she finally set her eyes on Tetsuken's body.

His back was bleeding, blood stained his clothes, and the depth of the wound was indeed not small.

"Okay, put him down and let me see." Tsunade said seriously.

At this time, her temperament is back to the Legendary Medical Shinobi.

When Kakashi heard this, he put down Tetsuken. Tsunade then examined him carefully.

Shizune's gaze is still on Kakashi's face, and the blushes on her face haven't faded yet.

Seeing Tsunade taking action, Kakashi was relieved. Kakashi knew that as long as the person is still alive and his organs are complete, there shouldn't be much problem for Tsunade to heal him.

So, with a relaxed mind, Kakashi finally felt the strange gaze looking at his face.

Kakashi turned his head in doubt, only to see Shizune, who was holding Tonton on the side, was looking at him.

Perhaps because she was discovered by Kakashi, Shizune looked a little embarrassed, but the blushes still remained on her face.

Kakashi touched his face subconsciously, and sure enough, he forgot to wear his mask.

Kakashi smiled helplessly, 'Well, anyway, there are already many people who have seen it, so I don't care about adding one more.'

Kakashi then took his mask out of his ninja bag and put it on again.

At this moment, Kakashi's appearance finally returned to his usual appearance as Konoha's Shinobi.

Shizune was a little disappointed when she saw this, but quickly calmed down and looked at Tetsuken who was being treated by Tsunade.

She saw that there is powerful green Chakra covering Tsunade's hands. That powerful green Chakra is the advanced Medical Ninjutsu, Shōsen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique) that only high-level Medical Shinobi can use.

It's just that when it's used by Tsunade, that Medical Ninjutsu is much stronger than when used by others.

When Tsunade's palm brushed Tetsuken's back, the wound that was still soaked with blood instantly covered with scab, and then, the scab fell off, revealing his white skin, as if he had never been injured.

A slight smile appeared on Kakashi's face when he saw this. He knew that Tetsuken is no longer in danger.

Tsunade stood up and said softly: "The sword has stabbed into the lungs, but it is still not too deep. I have used the Mystical Palm Technique to help him heal the wound, but because the wound is still very fragile, it will take him a few days to recuperate before he is completely healed."

"Sorry for the trouble, Tsunade-sama."

"It's fine, but it seems that a lot of things have happened to you in the Land of Iron."

Tsunade looked at Kakashi, especially the mask that was on his face.

"Things are like this …"

Kakashi explained about the matter of the Land of Iron for a little bit.

Tsunade and Shizune were slightly surprised when they heard this.

"I didn't expect the Land of Iron would have such trouble. But, after this, the Land of Iron should be able to become united," Tsunade said calmly.

"Yeah, Mifune-sama will take care of the rest."

"Okay, then take this Tetsuken to rest."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Kakashi left Hokage Tower with Tetsuken. But, instead of going to the Konoha Hospital, he brought Tetsuken back to the Hatake Residence.

After all, going to Konoha Hospital requires all kinds of formalities, and with Kakashi's lazy temperament, he felt that it is too troublesome, so he naturally won't do it.

After all, Tetsuken's injuries have been already treated by Tsunade.

Tetsuken only needed to rest now.

Putting Tetsuken on his bed, Kakashi created a shadow clone to take care of him, and then used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to return to the Iron Canyon.

The Iron Canyon at this moment was livelier than before.

The people Mifune arranged earlier have already arrived at this time.

Of course, for them to only arrive after the battle, they can only help clean the battlefield.

The sudden appearance of Kakashi made everyone surprised. The people around who didn't know Kakashi pulled out their swords and put on a defensive stance.

Kakashi ignored them and pulled out the Millennium Sword that has been stuck on the stone wall after stabbing the second elder to death, and put it back to its scabbard.

There is the mark Hiraishin no Jutsu, which is why Kakashi was able to come back.

"Who are you!"

A samurai shouted at this moment.

Kakashi didn't answer as he saw Mifune walked over.

"Step back, he is an ally."

Hearing Mifune's words, all of the Samurai put away their swords and stepped back to continue cleaning the battlefield.

"Kakashi, How is Tetsuken?"

"He's fine now, but he hasn't woken up yet, so I get him to rest temporarily in Konoha."

"That's good, I'll trouble you."

Kakashi shook his head and said, "It's fine. By the way, I'll leave the matter here to you, Mifune-san. I'm going back first.

"Okay."

…

One day later.

Tetsuken opened his eyes in confusion, and saw a familiar figure.

"Gintoki?"

Tetsuken said softly.

Kakashi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Are you finally awake?"

"It seems that I'm not dead yet…" Tetsuken said faintly.

"It's not that easy to want to die."

"Thank you, Gintoki."

"Thank me for what?"

"First, thank you for saving me. Second, thank you for letting me know the truth. And third, thank you for being my friend."

Hearing this, Kakashi smiled and said: "Since we're a friend, there's no need to thank me anymore."

Hearing this, Tetsuken's pale face showed a hint of a smile.

'It's really a happy thing to have such a friend in this world.'

…

Two days later.

Konoha Gate.

"Tetsuken, are you going to return to the Land of Iron?"

Kakashi said as he looked at the man in a black samurai costume.

Tetsuken shook his head and said: "I don't plan to go back for a while. This incident has given me a great shock. There are still a lot of things I don't understand yet. Therefore, I need to understand these things before I can go back." "

"Have you said anything to Mifune-san?"

Hearing this, Tetsuken took out a letter from his pocket and said: "This is a letter I wrote to sensei. Sensei will definitely understand after reading it. Gintoki, please give this letter to sensei. I know you have a way."

Kakashi took the letter after hearing this.

"Well, since you have already decided, I won't say anything. The world is very big, so go out and have a look."

Tetsuken showed a relaxed smile and said: "Yeah, maybe I can find the meaning of my life. I hope that when we meet again next time, I can finally understand it all."

"I will be with you at any time." Kakashi said with a smile.

Tetsuken smiled when he heard Kakashi's words, and then turned and left, leaving Kakashi with his lonely back.

"Perhaps when I see Tetsuken again, he will be a completely different guy."

Kakashi muttered to himself as he looked at Tetsuken's back.
