Naruto Kakashi

The dawn of the next day was like the nightfall of yesterday, day and night completed the replacement in the blink of an eye.

Kakashi couldn't adapt to this way of breaking the dawn. He woke up at the break of dawn, then got up and took the White Fang sword to the courtyard of the shrine.

Last night, after learning that the Hero's Water had not yet taken shape, Kakashi temporarily gave up the idea of ​​snatching the Hero's Water.

As for the "companion" mentioned by the Great Tengu, Kakashi originally planned to follow him when he left to find out the identity of that person.

He originally wanted to, but the man didn't give Kakashi this chance and disappeared without a trace after leaving the secret room.

Unable to do so, Kakashi had no choice but to return to the shrine.

Thinking back to what happened last night, especially the drop of hero water, Kakashi still couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

Suddenly a breeze blew, and the cool morning breeze calmed Kakashi down.

He slowly closed his eyes, holding the hilt of the White Fang sword with his right hand, silently driving away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

After a long time, a white light suddenly flashed in the courtyard, and the White Fang sword tore apart the air in front of Kakashi like a white lightning.

home together.

Kakashi slowly sheathed the sword with an expressionless expression, seemingly dissatisfied with this move.

In fact, Kakashi's swordsmanship has improved a lot since leaving the Kingdom of Iron, but recently it seems to have reached a new bottleneck and cannot go any further.

This reminded him of what Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country, said.

If you want to make further progress in swordsmanship, you need to seek your true heart and confirm your own swordsmanship.

But what is his true intention?

Kakashi never had an answer to this question.

Hatred?revenge?

Kakashi does have hatred in his heart, hatred for Danzo, and hatred for the deliberate laissez-faire of Konoha's high-level officials, but he knows that he is not a revenge machine full of hatred.

If you are unable to fulfill your original intention, you will naturally be unable to confirm your own swordsmanship.

Suddenly there was a strange noise. Kakashi turned to the direction of the noise with his long sword in hand, only to find Fu walking out of the room.

Fu's face was full of tiredness, and she didn't seem to wake up.

Kakashi put away his sword, said hello to Fu, and prepared to return to the room.

But before he could lift his feet, he was stopped by Fu, and then he heard Fu say cautiously: "Brother, can you teach me ninjutsu? I want to become a powerful ninja."

"Oh why?"

"My mother-in-law usually likes to go for a walk outside the shrine, but she seems to be sick recently. The village chief said that no one is protecting my mother-in-law and won't let her go out." Fu started to tell her in a low voice, but her voice started to beat as she spoke: " I want to become stronger and become a ninja so that I can protect my mother-in-law."

"At your age, shouldn't you go out and play with friends more often?" Kakashi looked at the little girl in front of him and seemed to see his own shadow in her.

He was probably around the same age as he pestered his father to learn ninjutsu.

However, at the age of three, no village would train such a child to become a ninja except during times of war.

"I also want to go out, but since Grandma Die got sick, the village chief won't let me go out." Fu looked at the door with some longing, then flattened her mouth and said, "And I have no friends, and they don't follow me." I play."

Although the children in the village were alienated from her in the past, they still came to the shrine to play. However, I don’t know when, but no children were seen around the shrine anymore.

Occasionally, a ninja from the village came to stand guard at the shrine, but the look in his eyes made him very uncomfortable and made her afraid to approach.

Get ill?Kakashi thought about what he heard from the Takigakure ninja yesterday.

It's probably because of Nanao's rampage.

It's no wonder that Ito doesn't let Fu go out. After all, as the next Jinchuuriki, Fu's safety is very important.

"Brother, is that okay?" Fu asked hurriedly when Kakashi didn't answer.

"Fu, stop messing around." Before Kakashi could answer, Granny Die walked out of the room, walked to Fu, and touched Fu's head, "I'm very happy to hear you say that. I don’t need your protection, my mother-in-law just hopes that you can make more friends and be happy every day.”

"Grandma, I don't want to make friends, I just want to be with my mother-in-law." Seeing Grandma Die, Fu immediately threw herself into Grandma Die's arms and said with some resistance.

"My mother-in-law is too old to be with you forever. You have to..."

"No, I don't want to."

Before Grandma Die finished speaking, Fu started to make a noise, with a hint of crying in her voice.

"Okay, no, mother-in-law will always be with Fu." Grandma Die patted Fu's back gently, calming Fu's mood, but her face looked a little lonely.

After receiving her mother-in-law's assurance, Fu became quiet after a while, and the sound of slow and steady breathing came from the arms of Grandma Die.

Fu actually fell asleep.

"This child has not been sleeping well recently because of me." Grandma Die continued to pat Fu on the back while saying to Kakashi.

Grandma Die walked towards the room holding the sleeping Fu, suddenly paused and turned to Kakashi and said: "There is one more thing I want to ask Mr. Kakashi, I hope you can agree."

"Please speak."

"No matter what happens during this period, I hope that your husband will give priority to protecting Fu's safety." Grandma Die seemed to have sensed some danger.

Kakashi looked at Fu in Grandma Die's arms, nodded and agreed, "This is my mission."

"Then I won't disturb you, sir." After saying that, Grandma Die walked into the room holding the sleeping Fu.

After saying goodbye to Granny Butterfly, Kakashi walked around the shrine and observed the surrounding situation.

While walking around, Kakashi could always feel someone following him.

Although he didn't see anyone, Kakashi could guess that it was someone from Takigakure Village. Obviously, they were not worried about Kakashi going somewhere other than the shrine.

Kakashi didn't want to attract more attention. After walking around the shrine, he went back honestly.

After that, the mission reached a lull period. For six days, nothing happened in Longyin Village. The Fengma clan that Longyin Village was worried about before did not show up.

And after tonight, Kakashi's mission assignment will be over.

As the time for the Jinchuuriki replacement approaches, the atmosphere in Takigakure Village becomes visibly depressing.

Grandma Butterfly's health is getting worse day by day. According to speculation, Kakashi is almost certain that after today, it will be the day when the Jinchūriki will be replaced.

These days, Kakashi goes to take a look at the Hero's Water every night. In addition to seeing some of its progress, another reason is to find the mysterious "peer" and solve this potential threat in advance.

But the competitor hiding in the shadows has never appeared since the first day.

Moreover, the Daitengu's estimate was off. The formation of the Heroic Water was later than he expected. It was estimated that it would be completed tonight.

This is excellent news for Kakashi. The hero's water and the mission commission can be obtained without delay.

During this period of time, Kakashi also sneaked into the database of Takigakure Village and searched for information about the Water of Heroes.

He has not forgotten what the Takigakure ninja said before about the elder Takigakure who died of the Heroic Water.

Obviously, Hero's Water is not a simple treasure that can enhance strength. It definitely has certain hidden dangers.

Sure enough, according to the records of Takigakure Village, Hero Water can temporarily double a person's chakra, but after the effect wears off, the mortality rate of the person who takes it is 100%.

This is why it is called the water of heroes.

Because only heroes who are not afraid of life and death dare to take this kind of thing.

After seeing that record, Kakashi couldn't help but question the intentions of the Daitengu.

However, the Daitengu repeatedly assured Kakashi that he could drink the hero's water without any side effects, and even made another contract, so Kakashi believed it.

In addition to the information about the Water of Heroes, Kakashi also discovered a piece of very interesting information in the database of Takigakure Village.

It was that information that allowed Kakashi to make some adjustments to the original plan.

In addition, in addition to spending some time practicing during the day, Kakashi also occasionally guides Fu in practicing.

Fu has long since learned how to extract chakra, and the amount of chakra in her body is greater than that of Kakashi at the same age.

However, apart from chakra extraction, Fu has not learned any ninjutsu.

This seems to be intentional by the village.

It was obvious that the village's disagreement over the jinchūriki had manifested itself in Fu.

However, Kakashi did not hide the matter of guiding Fu's practice. People in Takigakure Village should have known about it for a long time, but no one came to stop him.

It doesn't matter to Kakashi whether anyone stops him or not. It is boring for him to guide Fu to practice.

Although it was a boring move, since he decided to give guidance, Kakashi would naturally take it seriously.

Although Kakashi has never taught students, he graduated from a serious ninja school, so he has some experience.

After a little consideration, Kakashi decided to teach Fu the most basic three-body technique as a ninja, namely the transformation technique, the substitute technique and the clone technique.

Although Fu's chakra amount is large, it is still compared to her peers.

The amount of chakra could not support his long-term practice of the Three Body Technique, so Kakashi taught him how to use kunai while instructing the Three Body Technique.

"Kunai is the most common weapon used by ninjas. The first thing you have to do is to shoot at a fixed target. This requires a long period of practice." Kakashi taught Fu while setting up a simple wooden target.

Kakashi stepped aside and faced Fu who was three meters away and said, "Okay, you give it a try."

"Yes." Fu held the kunai nervously, took a deep breath, calmed down her nervousness, aimed at the wooden target, quickly waved her arm, and threw the kunai out of her hand.

But the kunai did not hit the wooden target as she expected, but missed the target and stuck on the ground in the distance.

"Didn't you sleep well?" Kakashi asked Fu while instructing Parker to pick up the kunai.

These days, Fu's face has always been tired. I heard from her that she has been suffering from insomnia recently, and she will dream of some terrible things when she barely sleeps.

"Well, I dreamed about a particularly huge, um, butterfly last night?" Fu said apologetically.

Giant butterfly?Kakashi's heart moved, could it be related to Nanao?

Kakashi didn't know much about the specific process of jinchuriki replacement.

But one thing is certain, the new jinchūriki needs to establish contact with the tailed beast first.

And this work seems to have been going on for some time.

Moreover, the sealing master Ze has not been seen recently, and he is obviously making preparations for the replacement of the jinchuriki.

Seeing Fu take the kunai from Parker's mouth, Kakashi continued to explain to her the key points of throwing kunai: "Pay attention to your eyes, hands and the target to be in a straight line, and use force on your wrists, arms, and waist."

Fu took the kunai, held her breath and thought about the essentials of the action Kakashi said. After a long while, she shook it hard.

The kunai flew out and stuck straight into the center of the wooden target.

"Yeah." Seeing the kunai hitting the bull's-eye, Fu jumped up happily.

This is the first time she has hit the bullseye, or the first time she has hit the target, after practicing for so long.

Seeing Fu so happy, the corners of Kakashi's mouth couldn't help but raise a little. Of course, these were blocked by the mask and others couldn't see it at all.

"Okay, let's continue practicing." Kakashi pulled the kunai out of the wooden target.

"Yes."

Obviously hitting the bullseye gave Fu a lot of confidence. Although she still missed the target occasionally in subsequent exercises, her hit rate had improved a lot.

It suddenly became dark, and Granny Butterfly's voice immediately came from the shrine.

"It's time to eat, Fu."

Hearing Granny Butterfly's voice, Fu reluctantly put away her kunai, picked up Parker and entered the shrine with Kakashi.

Tomorrow is the day that Takigakure Village estimates that the Jinchūriki will be replaced.

But Granny Die was in much better spirits tonight than before, and even her body was much more flexible.

"Grandma, why did you cook so many delicious foods today? Is it because you are cured of your illness?" Fu also noticed that Grandma Die's health seemed to be improving.

"Come over and eat, these are your favorite foods." Grandma Die did not answer Fu's question, but just invited Fu to come over for dinner.

Fu sat next to Granny Butterfly and put Parker aside. While stuffing food into her own mouth, she also stuffed a lot of food into Parker's mouth.

"Oh, by the way, mother-in-law, I hit the bull's-eye today." Fu showed off today's practice results to her mother-in-law while chewing the food in her mouth.

"Well, Fu is great." Grandma Die praised Fu while picking up food for Fu.

"After a while, I will be able to protect you." Fu said confidently.
