Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

'At this time, Hashirama is only ten years old, but he has already awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. His future is boundless.'

At least, that's what Senju Yamabuki thought.

You know, the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai from the Senju Clan is more difficult to awaken than the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

Even the people of the Senju Clan thought this was just a legend.

But what Senju Yamabuki didn't expect was that it would appear in a ten-year-old child.

This make Senju Yamabuki feel that he was dreaming.

There was a smile on Hashirama's face, but he was thinking about another question in his heart.

Originally, Hashirama felt that there was something in his body about to break out, but it wouldn't come out. It seemed that there was a need of opportunity for it to break out.

After training his Spiritual Force with Kakashi, this feeling became clearer.

Until the day before yesterday, the last layer of the shell was suddenly broken, and he awakened the Wood Release.

Kakashi, who was watching from the side, was also shocked at this time.

Wood Release! The only Kekkei Genkai who can compete with Sharingan.

Kakashi didn't expect that Hashirama would have been awakened it at this time, 'He really deserved to be the God of the Shinobi in the future.'

"Great, Hashirama, with your awakened Kekkei Genkai, the possibility that you can get the approval of Shikkotsu Forest's Katsuyu-sama is greater." Senju Yamabuki said with excitement.

Hearing this, Kakashi was a little shocked, 'Shikkotsu Forest?'

'The two actually mentioned to Shikkotsu Forest?'

"Yeah, Yamabuki jii-san, I am confident that I will be able to get the approval of Katsuyu-sama, and then our clan will prosper."

"It's not too late, let's set off quickly!" Senju Yamabuki said.

"Okay!" said Hashirama as he nodded.

Then the two went towards a certain direction.

A smile appeared at the corner of Kakashi's mouth, and then he said: "Interesting. Shikkotsu Forest? I have been searching for it for a long time."

Kakashi said, moving his feet as he followed behind them.

With Kakashi's skill, the two couldn't find they are being followed at all.

As for the reason why Hashirama would come to the Shikkotsu Forest with Senju Yamabuki, this all start with the battle between Kakashi and Senju Butsuma, and Uchiha Tajima.

The Ryūchi Cave's Senjutsu used by Kakashi gave Senju Butsuma a familiar feeling.

After returning home, Senju Butsuma thought about it for several days, and finally knew where this familiar feeling came from.

Shikkotsu Forest!

Senju Butsuma once accidentally entered the territory of the Shikkotsu Forest and met Katsuyu, but he did not get Katsuyu's approval.

The feeling that Senju Butsuma felt on Kakashi was somewhat similar to that of Katsuyu.

After this incident, Senju Butsuma remembered Katsuyu again, so he called out Hashirama who was still facing the punishment, and told him to go to the Shikkotsu Forest with Senju Yamabuki to find Katsuyu.

A powerful summoned beast, and the strange Ninjutsu, Senju Butsuma hopes Hashirama can get them.

As for the reason why he chose Hashirama and Senju Yamabuki is simple.

Senju Yamabuki once went with Senju Butsuma so he knows the way to the Shikkotsu Forest, and Hashirama is the most outstanding genius in his clan at this time.

Senju Butsuma believes that Hashirama will get Katsuyu's approval.

Therefore, this scene is now happening.

But the two people who went to the Shikkotsu Forest eagerly did not expect that behind them, there would be someone following them.

As the night darkened, Hashirama and Senju Yamabuki finally stopped.

"Yamabuki jii-san, why did you stop? Is it here?" asked Hashirama in confusion. He then looked around, but didn't see anything. There is just a valley, and nothing else.

Senju Yamabuki then laughed and said: "Hashirama, Katsuyu-sama is a summoned beast. It has its own unique territory called Shikkotsu Forest. Although this place borders the space here, it is also blocked by a seal. Without a contract, it is very troublesome if we want to go in."

"You mean, this is the entrance? It's just that we can't see it, right?"

"Yeah."

"What should we do then?"

"Haha, don't worry, I have come here with Clan Head before, so I know how get inside the Shikkotsu Forest."

Senju Yamabuki then formed hand seals with his hands, and uttered softly: "Kai!"

An invisible ripple scattered, and then a door the size of a person appeared in front of the two of them.

"Is this the entrance to the Shikkotsu Forest? It's really hidden." exclaimed Hashirama.

"Hashirama, get in quickly." Senju Yamabuki said.

"Huh? Yamabuki jii-san won't go in with me?" Hashirama asked doubtedly.

"No, there are still some things in the clan that need me to deal with. I can't leave for too long, and whether you succeed or fail, Katsuyu-sama will send you directly to the Senju Clan's residence at that time, so you don't need to worry."

"So it's like that. Then thank you for escorting me here, Yamabuki jii-san."

"You're welcome. Hashirama, remember, you must succeed. This may be related to the future of the Senju Clan."

Hashirama nodded seriously, and then he walked towards the entrance.

The door faded slowly, and finally disappeared.

Senju Yamabuki sighed and said: "Hashirama the pillars, you must succeed."

Senju Yamabuki did not continue to stay, and left the place directly, returning to the Senju Clan's residence.

However, what he didn't know was that he had a pair of eyes watching his every move.

Behind a big tree, Kakashi has already revealed the scarlet Sharingan, and then he secretly thought: 'Interesting, I didn't expect that the Shikkotsu Forest at this time has not been contracted with the Senju Clan yet.'

Kakashi made up his mind and decided to go to the Shikkotsu Forest.

Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu is now the only Senjutsu Kakashi lacks. If he can get it, he can officially try to fuse the Senjutsu.

Thinking of this, Kakashi walked to the position where the two just stood.

His hands formed hand seals, and if Senju Yamabuki is here, he will find that the hand seals Kakashi formed are exactly the same as his just now!

Kakashi said softly: "Kai!"

Immediately, the same door appeared in front of Kakashi.

"Natural Energy is coming out from the door. It looks like it is correct."

Kakashi whispered softly, and then stepped in.

After a while, Kakashi appeared in a dark and humid place.

Looking around, Kakashi found unconscious Hashirama not far away.

"He must have not been able to endure the dizziness of the spatial transformation, so he just passed out."

Kakashi chuckled and then looked around.

It looks like a dark and humid valley, the temperature is not high, maybe only just 16 degree Celsius.

The light is severely insufficient and the visibility is not high.

There are pillars resembling white bones everywhere, with a sticky liquid on them.

"Is this Shikkotsu Forest? It really seems to fit the name." (Shikkotsu Forest = Wet Bone Forest)

Kakashi looked around and decided to wake Hashirama first.

He lifted Hashirama up and patted him lightly.

"Ow, it hurts, who is it!"

After releasing a scream, Hashirama immediately woke up.

What caught his eyes was a familiar face.

The irritated expression on Hashirama's face instantly turned into an extremely happy expression.

"Gintoki-sensei? Why are you here?"

"I should be the one asking you this question, why did you come to the Shikkotsu Forest?" Kakashi asked, pretending to be in disbelief.

"Gintoki-sensei also knows the Shikkotsu Forest?" asked Hashirama in surprise.

"Of course I know, if I don't know, how can I appear here?" Kakashi said with a smile.
