Discussion: How the Nine-Tails Lead the Naruto

Am I... holding me back?

The battlefield has been divided, and the enemy Kakashi faces is Mito, the most difficult enemy among them all.

Holding the Raikiri in his hand, powerful power continued to shine in his hand, but when Kakashi looked at the huge Susanoo erupting in the distance, he felt an inexplicable sense of decadence for a moment.

Black patterns spread out in the air, as if a seal was suppressing it, trying to suppress Kakashi below.

The Sharingan saw through the opponent's movements, but even so, Kakashi could not undo the sealing technique in a short time. The understanding of the sealing technique between the two parties was too different. Kakashi was like a primary school student seeing advanced mathematics. So helpless.

I recognize each character, but together they feel like reading a book from heaven.

He couldn't resist forcefully and could only choose to dodge.

The lightning flashed continuously, and Kakashi's speed continued to increase under the stimulation of Thunder Chakra, but he was unable to make any useful attacks. His Sharingan could see the defense set up by Master Mito around him. If he leaned over, he would be throwing himself into a trap.

Seeing that the sealing technique failed, Mito sighed and looked at the woods in the distance: "Your name is Kakashi, right?"

Hidden in the dense woods, Kakashi didn't answer, he was worried about giving away his position.

Mito probably understood what Kakashi was thinking, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry about being exposed. The perception abilities of our group are not weak. You can't escape our perception with your hiding methods."

It means stop hiding, I can see it.

Hearing this, Kakashi also sighed, with a bit of weakness in his tone: "Yes, Mito-sama, my name is Hatake Kakashi."

"Kakashi... the lonely scarecrow? This is not a good name." Mito slowly moved his body and said, "I remember that when I died, the Hatake clan was still quite powerful. At that time The person with the most talent seems to be named Hatake...Sakumo? Do you know him?"

"Hatake Sakumo is my father. (Note)" Kakashi hasn't heard anyone mention his father's name for a long time. It seems that most of them call his father 'Konoha White Fang' in his memory.

It's not that they have forgotten their father's name, but that most people only remember what their father has done, and the name seems to be less important.

"He seems to be a nice young man, but I don't know why he gave you such a name." Mito's smile was filled with nostalgia.

It's just a nostalgia, after all, it's been so many years.

Kakashi was silent.

Mito came to the front of the forest and looked in the direction where Kakashi was hiding: "I feel a sense of decadence from your chakra, but it's strange, and it seems to be full of energy all the time. You seem to be interested in everything." I don’t care, but I feel like you care about something.”

"Why? If you don't mind, tell me." Mito's smile was very contagious.

A kind old man, who speaks words of concern in a gentle tone, and whose smile always seems to be full of hope, is almost the complete opposite of Kakashi.

"Sorry, I just..." Kakashi didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't know what he should say. He could only sigh, "Maybe you are right."

The body moved to avoid Mito's attack range, and the kunai in his hand suddenly attacked with lightning.

Mito dodged the kunai with a simple movement, formed seals with both hands at the same time, and slapped him on the tree next to him.

Black patterns spread along the trees, and finally condensed into chains and waved towards Kakashi.

Mito looked at this scene helplessly: "Although these things are not in line with the atmosphere now, if young people sigh too much, they will grow old faster."

This Kakashi felt to her like an old man, who didn't fight for anything, seemed to have seen the world through, and looked like he didn't care about anything at all.

"I just...occasionally feel...that I, as a teacher, am a little incompetent." Kakashi landed on a branch, squatted down with his legs, and looked at Mito below with a calm expression, and his tone was really like An old man.

"Sigh, maybe I just don't know how to express my inner depression." Kakashi chuckled, "Please don't worry about it."

He is not weak, and is well-known in the ninja world. He has obtained special information from other countries, copied thousands of ninjutsu, and created his own powerful thunder release ninjutsu. He even has one of the strongest blood succession limits, Sharingan. The eye also evolved into the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But it seems that from a long time ago to now, his existence has become more and more dispensable. He is obviously the teacher of Naruto and Sasuke, but every time something happens, he has to rely on his disciples, so that now he can't even protect Konoha and fight the enemy. , all have to consider whether they will be impressed by Sasuke's performance.

"We are here to support... but I have a feeling that we are here to hold you back." Kakashi looked gloomy, "Without us, maybe Sasuke would have faced you with all his strength, and the battle would have ended more easily."

Compared to the current battle where he is afraid of affecting the onlookers, it would be more in line with Sasuke's idea to let go and attack with all his strength.

Kakashi...had to think so.

Mito just looked at Kakashi, and the movements of her hands suddenly stopped. She did not attack, but looked at Kakashi in a slightly trance.

After a few seconds like this, Mito suddenly laughed: "You look quite handsome when you smile."

"Huh?" Kakashi was stunned, not understanding what Master Mito meant by this.

"I mean, you look quite handsome when you smile, more handsome than Hashirama's piece of wood." A smile appeared on Mito's old face, the wrinkles were deeply squeezed together. It was not ugly, but rather very kind.

She looked at Kakashi with a smile, and spoke as briskly as a child: "Do you know, that idiot Hashirama, at the first Five Shadows gathering, he almost knelt down in front of the other Four Shadows, and even cried in embarrassment? Come out, if Tobirama hadn't stopped him, he might really have knelt on the ground and cried."

"Really, I don't care about the name Hokage at all. On the contrary, Tobirama is more like a Hokage than him."

Kakashi was a little confused, and then gave a wry smile: "Mito-sama, it's not good for you to tell the first-generation master's dark history like this, and I respect the first-generation master and the second-generation master very much."

"I am his wife, there is nothing I can't say, and you are also a companion of the village. Hashirama doesn't care about this." Mito waved his hand and said not to care, and then said with emotion, "In fact, Hashirama has always been I wanted Madara to be Hokage, but unfortunately...he refused."

Yes, Madara himself rejected the position of Hokage. At that time, if Madara really wanted to become Hokage, it would be useless no matter who stopped him, because Senju Hashirama supported it and even agreed with both hands and feet, but Madara still refused.

"Uchiha Madara...rejected?" Kakashi was stunned. He really didn't know this story.

"Yes, do you know why?" Mito said with a funny look, "Because Madara feels that his expression is too scary and is not suitable for someone like Hokage who needs to command the entire village. In order to avoid suspicion, he even Recommended Tobirama to be Hashirama’s assistant.”

"It's very interesting." Mito's smile was full of nostalgia, "Perhaps, Bambi is more suitable to sit in that position than Hashirama, let Hashirama become a mascot, and Madara takes charge, maybe this is the best Choice...but he still refused."

"For the village."

PS: Hatake Sakumo: Also known as Hatake Saun, or the other way around, both are Kakashi’s father’s names. It seems to be different due to early translation reasons, but the specific reason is unclear. The first one is chosen here. After all, this name is more widely known.

PS2: Eight colors of Konoha or six colors of Konoha?Rumor has it that they are White Fang (Hatake Sakumo), Golden Flash (Namikaze Minato), Red? ? (Yuhi Kurenai's father), the green beast (Matt Dai)... I forgot who else.

But I searched around and found no such statement. It was basically confirmed that it was a second design, and these guys are not in the same era.
