Chapter 403 - Letter Of Challenge
Chapter 403 – Letter Of Challenge
The Land of Iron.
A handsome young man is wiping the sword in his hand.
The blade is silvery white and looked chilly.
At this time, a samurai came in and said respectfully to the young man: "Tetsuken-sama, the latest information about Konoha has arrived."
This young man is the Hokubu Tetsuken!
Hearing this, Tetsuken narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Speak."
Just one word made the samurai felt powerful pressure.
The samurai was shocked by this powerful aura and shook slightly.
"Tetsuken-sama, Konoha's Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi, has returned to Konoha a week ago."
Hearing this, Tetsuken's face showed a hint of excitement.
"Is the news reliable?"
"Yes, it's reliable!" answered the samurai.
"Good, you can go," Tetsuken said.
"Yes! Tetsuken-sama."
After samurai finished speaking, he got up and left.
In the courtyard, Tetsuken is alone again.
"Kakashi, you are finally back. Our six-year agreement has been overdue by two years now. It's time to end it." Tetsuken murmured.
Originally, Tetsuken went to Konoha to find Kakashi for a decisive battle two years ago, but unfortunately, Kakashi had just left Konoha at that time and went to Rōran.
Therefore, Tetsuken was unable to find him.
Originally, he wanted to go and find Kakashi, however, within the past two years, there was no news about Kakashi in the Shinobi World at all.
In desperation, Tetsuken had to give up searching and just waited for Kakashi's return in the Land of Iron.
It can be said that Tetsuken has become a very important person in the Land of Iron. Mifune also completely regards Tetsuken as the next leader of the Land of Iron, and spares no effort to teach Tetsuken.
In Mifune's view, Tetsuken right now has surpassed him.
Tetsuken also became the captain of the guards of the Land of Iron.
It should be known that this position is equivalent to Anbu Commander of Konoha.
Just when Tetsuken was excited, a person walked in.
"Tetsuken, why are you so happy?"
Tetsuken was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look. Seeing the person who came, he then respectfully said: "Mifune-sensei."
It was Mifune who came here.
Mifune has already accepted Tetsuken as his student, otherwise, how could he teach his own swordsmanship without reservation.
"Looking at your expression, it seems that Kakashi has returned to Konoha." said Mifune.
"Yes, Mifune-sensei, the agreement between me and Kakashi has been overdue for more than two years, so it is time to fulfill it."
Mifune sighed and said: "The sword has no eyes. Actually, I don't want you and Kakashi to have this kind of duel."
"Mifune-sensei, I have been waiting for this day for eight years. It has always occupied my mind. Either for me or my clan, this battle must be carried out." Tetsuken said seriously.
"Yeah, I knew it would be like this. Since you insist, I won't say anything anymore. But remember, you must come back alive. After all, I want you to become the next leader of the Land of Iron. I'm already old and can't hold this position for long anymore. "
At this time, Mifune is already 63 years old. He is no longer young, and his physical skills are gradually declining.
Tetsuken nodded solemnly and said: "Mifune-sensei, I won't let you down."
After Tetsuken finished speaking, his body released a terrifying sword intent.
Seeing this, Mifune couldn't help but shocked slightly.
'Tetsuken's talent is really terrifying. I didn't expect him to be this strong already. I wonder how strong Kakashi is right now.' Mifune have secretly thoughtin his heart.
Although he didn't know how strong Kakashi is, but if it is only about swordsmanship, Mifune believes that Tetsuken at this time is definitely not weaker than Kakashi.
A letter of challenge was sent from the Land of Iron to Konoha.
At this time, Kakashi didn't know that there was such a person thinking about him.
As for the so-called six-year agreement, Kakashi has actually forgotten about it.
After all, so many things have happened over the years, so Kakashi wasn't able to focus on this thing.
And originally, Kakashi does not want to fight against Tetsuken.
But what should come will come, some people will forget, some people will not.
Konoha, Uchiha Clan's residence.
Fugaku and Kakashi are sitting in the courtyard with a shogi board in front of them.
Kakashi moved his knight piece, forming a checkmate.
Fugaku smiled bitterly and said: "As expected of you Kakashi, I lost this round."
Kakashi smiled and said: "Fugaku-san, you have too many concerns, so you lose sight of some things."
"Haha, how could someone like me didn't have any concern?"
Hearing this, Kakashi picked up Fugaku's king piece, and said, "So, is Fugaku-san worried about his king?"
Fugaku's expression changed and turned rather serious, as he nodded and said: "Kakashi, I'm worried about Sasuke and Itachi."
"Are you worried about the future?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes, as you said, the enemy in the future is extremely terrifying. Then according to their personality, they will among the first to bear the brunt. As a father, I don't want to see this scene."
Kakashi put the king piece in the middle of the board and said: "Fugaku-san, there are some things that are beyond our control. Needless to say, Itachi has a personality that likes to carry everything on his own. Sasuke is not someone who will run easily. Their future will always go that way. That is inevitable. Moreover, even if they want to escape, others may not let them go."
Fugaku sighed and said: "I know. I have paid attention to the Akatsuki you mentioned in these past few years. They are very low-key, seemingly intentionally hiding themselves, so I can't get too much information about them. The twelve Uchiha Clan's members who have become the Twelve Guardian Shinobi also carry out full investigation about Akatsuki, but they did not find much clue. Instead, they lost two manpower."
Kakashi gently put on the two knight pieces at the corner and then said: "Fugaku-san, now is not the time to provoke the Akatsuki. Akatsuki's strength is really strong. If Konoha fight against it alone, the chance for us winning is only 50%, and even if we can win, I am afraid the losses will be too much. We should wait until the claws of the Akatsuki are exposed. At that time, we will able to unite the Five Great Shinobi Village."
"Is it really possible to unite the Five Great Shinobi Village?" Fugaku asked as he is skeptical about it.
The reason is very simple. After three Shinobi World War, there is too much hatred between the Five Great Shinobi Village.
How can this kind of hatred be so easy to eliminate.
If the hatred still remained, how can the Five Great Shinobi Village united together.
He felt that it is impossible.
How can it be so easy to explain things in the world. This is an opportunity and an opportunity. Perhaps, with this one enemy, the five great nations can be brought together. There are many things with the friendship of war. , It will become a lot easier
"Some things in this world are not easy to explain. This is a bad thing, but it is also an opportunity. Perhaps, with a common enemy, we can unite the Five Great Shinobi Village.. Maybe with this, it will become a lot easier for the hatred to disappear."
