Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 413 Meeting Tetsuken Again

Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, and said: "No wonder he is like that. So, the Hokubu Clan really returned to the Land of Iron?"

Osuke nodded and said: "Yeah. Few years ago, the Land of Iron's development has fallen into a bottleneck. Mifune-sama has been trying to break it, but the limited manpower made it impossible. Then Mifune-sama accepted the Tetsuken as his student, and Tetsuken proposed that the Hokubu Clan come back and join the Land of Iron. Hearing this, Mifune-sama happily agreed."

"So, it seems that the reason the Land of Iron has become so prosperous now has a lot to do with the Hokubu Clan," Kakashi said.

Osuke said: "Yeah, the comeback of the Hokubu Clan has not only brought more than a hundred strong Samurai, but also a lot of wealth. With these, the Land of Iron has reached today's prosperity. Right now, the Hokubu Clan can be considered to have completely integrated into the Land of Iron."

Kakashi did not show joy when he heard this, but frowned.

"Osuke-san, the Hokubu Clan has penetrated so deeply into the Land of Iron, are you not afraid…"

Osuke smiled and said: "It's okay. The Hokubu Clan has been reflecting on their mistakes in those years, and now, they have become very low-key. In the clan, there are a lot of upright people like Tetsuken, who will not cause any harm to the Land of Iron. Moreover, Mifune-sama is not fool. Although he trusts them, he still makes some precautions."

Kakashi was slightly relieved when he heard this. Since Mifune can understand about that, he must have a way to deal with it.

After all, Mifune is the leader of the Land of Iron. So Kakashi didn't need to worry about it.

"That's good, but that person just now…"

"The man is from the second elder lineage of the Hokubu Clan. You may not know this, but the person who had offended Konoha's White Fang and was suppressed by him back then is the son of the second elder. As for the rest, with your intelligence, I don't have to say anything more," said Osuke.

Hearing this, Kakashi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, 'I didn't expect to encounter an enemy when I just arrived here.'

"Most of the Hokubu Clan have now let go of their hatred of White Fang. Only the second elder lineage have never given up. By the way, Tetsuken is also from the second elder lineage."

"This…"

"Don't worry, Tetsuken is not someone the second elder can control. The reason you come here this time should be because of the letter of challenge from Tetsuken, right?" Osuke asked.

Kakashi nodded and said: "Yeah, I have an agreement with Tetsuken to duel in six years. I didn't expect that I have to leave Konoha at the promised time because of something. I never had time, so it has been delayed for two years."

"Haha, I know. I remember that when Tetsuken came back from Konoha, he was very unhappy for a while, saying that you are an untrustworthy person." Osuke said with a smile.

Kakashi was helpless when he heard this. But this matter is his fault, after all, he was the one who had forgotten about the agreement.

Kakashi originally made this agreement with Tetsuken to make Tetsuken feel at ease.

"Well, since you're here, the so-called battle should also be carried out. Mifune-sama is in that room, you can go in. I will leave now as I still have something to do." Osuke said as he pointed to the room not far away.

"Sorry to trouble you, Osuke-san."

Osuke nodded, then turned and left.

As Mifune's right-hand man, Osuke has many things to do.

When Kakashi saw that Osuke left, without wasting time, he went directly into the room.

He should have looked for Tetsuken, but Mifune was Sakumo's friend. That means, Mifune is his elder, and he is also the leader of the Land of Iron, so Kakashi choose to visit him first.

Kakashi knocked on the door lightly, and a deep voice came from the room.

"Who is it?"

"Mifune-san, it is me, Hatake Kakashi."

The person inside was obviously taken aback, and then Kakashi heard the sound of someone standing up. After a while, the door was opened.

After not meeting him for eight years, Kakashi saw that Mifune has become older.

His head is still wrapped in a bandage, and his beards have become more stylish.

Seeing that it was really Kakashi, a smile appeared on Mifune's face.

"Kakashi, you are finally here, that Tetsuken is always talking about your name day and night."

"Sorry, I missed the agreement." Kakashi apologized.

Mifune waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, as a Shinobi, it can't be helped. I also heard that it took you two years to complete the mission, showing how dangerous your mission is."

"Thank you for your understanding Mifune-san." Kakashi said.

"Haha. Since you are here, come with me to see Tetsuken at the Hokubu Mansion. That brat might be practicing his swordsmanship at this moment." Mifune smiled.

"Yeah, then sorry to trouble you, Mifune-san." Kakashi respectfully said.

Mifune touched his beard and smiled: "Haha, it's fine, I originally want to go there myself."

So, Mifune took Kakashi and walked towards Hokubu Mansion.

Hokubu Mansion is a one of Hokubu Clan's residence. Tetsuken is living at this place right now.

Most people is simply not qualified to go to Hokubu Mansion.

But everyone knows that there is a very powerful Samurai hidden inside.

Everyone also knows that this very powerful Samurai is someone who will become the number one Samurai in the Land of Iron in the future.

With Mifune beside him, Kakashi naturally entered the Hokubu Mansion unimpeded.

It's just that the people in Hokubu Mansion are very curious about his identity. After all, there are only few people that were qualified to be on Mifune's side.

And they also saw that Mifune was very polite to him.

In the Hokubu Mansion, Tetsuken held the sword named Lake Toya and waved it with him.

One by one move is done, all with powerful aura.

Sweep, chop, stab, slash, slice, cut, charge, cleave!

The eight moves in the swordsmanship are done one by one by Tetsuken.

This is the most basic sword move, but in Tetsuken's hands, it looked very powerful.

Kakashi and Mifune stood at the door, quietly watching Tetsuken training his swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Kakashi was secretly surprised when he saw this.

'What a terrifying swordsmanship!'

Kakashi could clearly feel that in the Tetsuken's swordsmanship right now is not weaker than his own.

And with his swordsmanship, even the basic move he is doing looked very powerful.

'He really got stronger!'

'And it's stronger than I imagined.'

The Millennium Sword that is straddled on Kakashi's waist, hummed slightly at this time, seeming to be extremely excited!

Kakashi gently pressed the handle of the knife to tell Millennium Sword to be quiet.

But, Millennium Sword's hum seems to attract Tetsuken who was practicing.

Tetsuken stared at Kakashi calmly, without the slightest surprise in his eyes, and then, he said softly: "You are here."
