Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

After leaving Konoha, Kakashi who is wearing a short-sleeved white windbreaker, did not immediately go to Ochagakure, but went to the Land of Craftsmen.

Millennium Sword has been damaged for a while now. Kakashi has always wanted to recast it, he has no time.

This time he is going to Rōran, and there would be a lot of variables, so Kakashi must go in his best condition.

At this time, the Millennium Sword was seriously damaged, and recasting it was important.

The Land of Craftsmen, a country that specializes in building Shinobi tools and weapons.

Kakashi's Millennium Sword was created here.

After so many years, Kakashi finally come back here again.

The Land of Craftsmen is still the same as before. There are a lot of Shinobi tools shops along the way, and there are many blacksmith shops that can directly create specific Shinobi tool or weapon that you want.

There are merchants and Shinobi who come and go here.

Kakashi didn't pay much attention to these people, but went directly to the creator of the Millennium Sword, Kazama Tsukasa.

Following the route in his memory, Kakashi walked to a certain blacksmith shop.

This blacksmith shop is not big, only sixty or seventy square meters in size. There is an old blacksmith inside who continue to hammer iron again and again. It seems that there is a certain rhythm in each strike.

Kakashi then saw that the old blacksmith is Kazama Tsukasa.

Although Kazama Tsukasa has more wrinkles on his face than before, his hands are still strong and steady.

On the surface, he is just like an ordinary man, but his craftsmanship is one of the best in the Land of Craftsmen.

No one would have thought that the Millennium Sword, a famous sword in the Shinobi World, would be created by this person.

"Tsukasa-san," Kakashi called.

Hearing this, Tsukasa stopped his action and looked at Kakashi and then said, "Hello, what do you want to buy?"

"I have a sword that requires you to recast it."

"Recasting? Customer -san, it is very troublesome to recast a sword. With that effort, it is better to make another one directly. After all, it will cost more money to recast than creating a new one." Tsukasa said.

"I know, but this sword is very important to me. It can only be recast."

"Oh? It seems that customer-san is a person who loves swords. In that case, I agree." Tsukasa said with a smile.

As a sword maker, Tsukasa's love for swords is definitely exceeds many people's imagination.

It is a blessing for him to meet another person who loves swords like him.

Because he knew that such a person would make the sword he created happy.

Kakashi took out the Millennium Sword and handed it to Tsukasa.

Tsukasa stretched out his hand to take it, and take a closer look. His eyes then filled with surprise.

"This sword... seems to be built by me." Tsukasa said.

"As expected of Tsukasa-san, after more than ten years, you can still remember the sword you created." Kakashi said with a smile.

"Haha, of course, I have created countless swords in my whole life, but there are only a few that I can be satisfied with, and this one is one of them. I remember that when the sword was created at that time, I handed it over to a teenager with silver-white hair. Now it seems that you were the teenager at that time, right?" said Tsukasa.

"Yeah, it's me. I also want to thank Tsukasa-san for creating this sword."

Tsukasa nodded and said: "It seems that you have lived up to this sword that I gave you. The sword now has spirituality, and maybe it will become an artifact in the future."

Tsukasa stroked the Millennium Sword's blade with a satisfied expression.

"But I am very curious. With the hardness of this sword, how can it be damaged by the other weapons? What kind of artifact did your opponent use?" Tsukasa asked.

"The Sword of Kusanagi," Kakashi whispered.

Tsukasa's pupils shrank and then he exclaimed: "The Sword of Kusanagi? No wonder... If it is the Sword of Kusanagi, it would already a blessing that it wasn't broken completely."

Kakashi took out two sealed scrolls and unsealed them. Then two blades appeared, one of them is blue and the other is wide.

It is the broken blade of the Sword of the Thunder God and the broken blade of Kubikiribōchō.

"Tsukasa-san, I hope to fuse these two things into the Millennium Sword and to recast the Millennium Sword."

Tsukasa put the Millennium Sword aside, and then picked up the broken blade of the Sword of the Thunder God and looked at it for a moment. Then, he picked up the Kubikiribōchō's broken blade and looked at it for a long time.

After a while, Tsukasa said excitedly: "Where did you get these two things? They are both rare and excellent materials!"

"I got it by accidents. Can these two be fused with the Millennium Sword?"

Tsukasa touched his white beard as he thought for a moment, and then he said: "If it is someone else, it is absolutely impossible to do this, because these two things have certain spirituality and when they are not broken yet, they are strong sword that didn't lost to the Millennium Sword, maybe they is even stronger."

Kakashi nodded, 'Indeed, whether it is the Sword of the Thunder God or the Kubikiribōchō, strictly speaking, they are better than the Millennium Sword.'

"Even though they are broken, there is still spirituality left in them, so they can't be integrated with other sword, but when it meets me, this problem can be solved. I didn't expect that I, Tsukasa would be able to use thunderstone and rejuvenation stone during my lifetime. It's really a supreme honor to build a sword with these legendary irons."

Tsukasa's eyes were full of scorching heat, as if he had seen a handful of peerless treasures before his eyes.

"Tsukasa-san, how long will it take for you to finish it?"

"Seven days is enough. After seven days, I will give you a peerless sword!" Tsukasa said excitedly.

"Okay, then I shall trouble you, Tsukasa-san."

Tsukasa did not answer. He took the Millennium Sword, and the broken blade of the Sword of the Thunder God and the Kubikiribōchō and walked to the furnace and started to work.

Kakashi saw this and left the shop.

Using Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique), Kakashi returned to Ochagakure. Shisui was already waiting for Kakashi in the room.

"You have finally here." Shisui said with a smile.

"Yeah, I got something to do before. So, how about information about Rōran?" Kakashi asked.

"The investigation is almost done, Rōran is in the vast desert. The rumor said that it was once a very prosperous place, but no one knows why it became a ruin right now. But there seems to be a strange power inside."

"Do you have Rōran's map?" Kakashi asked.

Shishui took out a scroll, handed it to Kakashi, and said, "This is the map to Rōran, which was drawn at the sacrifices of several Shinobi."

Kakashi opened it to see, and sure enough, Rōran's location was recorded in detail inside.

"Thanks, Shisui."

Shisui shook his head and said, "It's okay, but I'm curious though. What are you going to do in Rōran? That place is a barren land now. Could it be that you are after the strange power hidden under Rōran?"

Kakashi took the map and said, "Yeah, my purpose is indeed that strange power."

"Do you need me to go with you?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "No need, I can go alone this time. It is not convenient if there are more people."

"It seems very dangerous this time, otherwise you won't refuse like that." Shisui said solemnly.

Kakashi stay silent and did not refute Shisui.

Seeing Kakashi's silent, Shisui understood.

'This time it seems that it is not simple.'

Shisui smiled and said: "With your personality, it seems that even if I forcefully want to follow you, it will not work. If that's the case, then I can only wish you good luck."

"Sorry, Shisui, during the time I'm away, I will trouble you to monitor the Akatsuki," Kakashi said.

"Don't worry, I understand. I promise that when you come back, it will be the same as it is now. No one will be in danger."

After Shisui finished speaking, the scarlet in his eyes flashed by.

Kakashi was surprised and said: "Shisui, your eyes..."

Shisui smiled and said: "I just put it back. It seems to be better than before."

"Seeing those pair of eyes, I feel more at ease," Kakashi said.

"Don't worry, no matter what kind of enemy appears in the future, I will use these pairs of eyes to defend you against those powerful enemies. Speaking of which, we haven't fought side by side for a long time."

Kakashi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will happen in the future, and it won't be too long from now."
