Chapter 6, Task

Moreover, the darkness within Kakashi's heart gradually grew, especially after the death of White Fang

The arrangement of the Fourth Hokage was for Kakashi to secretly protect the pregnant Kushina, in order for Kakashi to witness the birth of a new life, thereby changing the darkness within his heart

The Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed, saying: "Alas, Kakashi, the death of the Fourth Hokage has indeed affected you."

Kakashi picked up the nearly broken short blade of White Fang, which was almost reduced to just the hilt, and continuously waved it under the moonlight

Kakashi's mindset has always been a significant issue

In the following week, Kakashi followed Guy during the day for physical training, practiced swordsmanship at night, and studied the Four Symbols Seal, leading to a very fulfilling life

However, although Kakashi could not understand this, he was also relieved

"Kakashi Hatake, the Hokage has summoned you." The person said coldly while wearing an animal mask

Alright, I understand, you may go down now

Kakashi watched Guy's distant figure as he left, a faint smile appearing on his face. The friendship between men sometimes indeed does not require many words

The esteemed Hokage has given an order, and I dare not be negligent

Understood

Kakashi, who was practicing his swordsmanship at the old Hatake residence, was still unaware of the Third Hokage's thoughts about him

Yes, Lord Hokage

Looking at the empty courtyard, Kakashi felt a moment of desolation; the taste of solitude was indeed somewhat helpless

After all, this is his first mission upon arriving in this world, and he still harbors a certain degree of anticipation in his heart

It must be said that Kakashi's talent for ninjutsu is truly remarkable

Damn

Currently, Kakashi is naturally making the most of his time to enhance his own strength

It was only now that the Third Hokage came to find him, which surprised Kakashi somewhat

The original Kakashi was overwhelmed with too many missions, which resulted in a lack of time for training. Although his experiences were diverse and colorful, his strength did not see significant progress

Konoha experienced the Nine-Tails' turmoil, resulting in the death of the Fourth Hokage and numerous ninjas, with countless others injured

Oh, it's Kakashi, you arrived quite quickly

Upon hearing the words, the figure vanished from the spot in an instant

"Lord Hokage, you speak too heavily; this is indeed the duty of a ninja. May I ask what the mission is?" Kakashi inquired with a hint of curiosity.

"Kakashi, although I know you have been busy training recently, the village is truly short on manpower. Therefore, I must trouble you to take on some missions," the Third Hokage said with a hint of apology.

On this day, Kakashi, as usual, was about to go out, but at the moment he opened the door, an unexpected guest arrived

The Third sighed: "Kakashi, please do not let me down."

This is indeed the golden age for physical growth; the more time dedicated to training, the greater the strength gained

In another part of Konoha, under dim lighting, the Third Hokage, dressed in the Hokage robe, was listening to the report from the Anbu.

The death of White Fang led Kakashi to become indifferent towards his teammates. Later, due to Obito's influence, this issue was resolved. However, the subsequent deaths of Obito and Rin caused Kakashi to fall into a state of deep despondency.

Unaware of how many times he had swung, Kakashi had become numb, with only the instinctive motion of wielding his blade remaining

Oh? Kakashi fainted today due to excessive training with Guy

The art of swordsmanship primarily focuses on hacking and chopping, with other fundamental techniques including lifting, thrusting, intercepting, blocking, crashing, slashing, wiping, binding, and wrapping.

Therefore, there are numerous tasks that have accumulated

According to reason, I should have been dispatched to carry out a mission the day after the funeral, but unexpectedly, it was delayed for a whole week

Kakashi sighed, knowing that there would probably be no opportunity for training today

If I had been dispatched to carry out the mission at that time, I would have likely encountered considerable trouble

With Kai's assistance, Kakashi has now mastered all the abilities of his original form, and there should be no significant issues in executing tasks

The bright moonlight illuminated the white short blade, its cold gleam flickering, as Kakashi seemed to wield it tirelessly

Moments later, Kakashi appeared in the office of the Third Hokage

In this dangerous world, where should one go from here

It seems that the matter of sealing the Sharingan must be addressed promptly Kakashi exhaled and, after the pain in his left eye subsided, he stood up, sheathed the White Fang short sword, and returned to the room

I apologize, Kai, but just now Lord Hokage assigned me a mission, so I won't be able to train together for a while

Not enough! Still not enough! Kakashi roared inwardly

Kakashi did not expect that the Sharingan would also react during training

This has always been a thorn in Kakashi's heart

"Yes." After Kakashi finished speaking, he took the scroll and went down

Kakashi sat quietly on the bed, continuously studying the sealing technique of the Four Symbols in his mind. The complex and profound technique gradually unveiled its mysterious veil under Kakashi's research.

The Third Hokage handed a scroll to Kakashi and said, "This is an A-rank mission, and all the details are written on the scroll. Prepare yourself; we will depart today."

Not only has he fully adapted to his body, but he has also made considerable progress in swordsmanship. More importantly, he has nearly completed his research on the Four Symbols Seal

The Third Hokage held high hopes for Kakashi. Among Kakashi's generation, only he possessed the mindset and capacity to support Konoha. Initially, the Third was not in a hurry and did not need to worry about these matters. However, the death of the Fourth Hokage forced the elderly leader to once again shoulder the heavy burden, and he had no choice but to begin searching for a new candidate for Hokage.

The third generation gazed out the window, feeling an overwhelming increase in the pressure on their shoulders.

"Lord Hokage," Kakashi said respectfully

The silver-haired youth had one red eye and one black eye, with a particularly fierce scar on the left eye. He wore a black mask over his face, and beneath that mask, he was panting heavily.

Nevertheless, Kai passionately exclaimed, "Ah, truly worthy of Kakashi, the task personally assigned to you by Lord Hokage must be a challenging one. I must also strive harder, ah, first I will run a hundred laps around Konoha"

In retrospect, the death of the fourth generation has declared this matter a failure

The practice during these days has gradually made Kakashi enamored with the feeling of increasing power, especially the sensation of personal growth that he can feel every day, which is truly captivating

Kakashi, holding the scroll, did not return home immediately but instead went to Guy's house. At that moment, Guy was still at the door. Upon seeing Kakashi, he greeted him warmly, saying: "Kakashi, you are late today; one must not be negligent in youth"

No matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, it cannot be separated from these fundamental techniques

At night, Kakashi, who had dinner with Kai, returned alone to the Hatake residence.

Kai felt somewhat disappointed, as training with Kakashi over the past few days was far more enjoyable than training alone. Not only was the progress in their training better, but there was also significantly more motivation when two people trained together than when one trained alone

The three generations watched Kakashi's departing figure, unsure of what he was thinking.

Kakashi is exceptionally gifted, being a disciple of the Fourth Hokage. In terms of strength, wisdom, and temperament, he is among the very best. In the younger generation, no one can surpass him

Kakashi today is driven only by a sense of urgency and strength. In this world, lacking strength is not an option

Suddenly, a wave of heat surged through his left eye, and Kakashi let out a cry of pain, kneeling on the ground.

As for the third generation finding themselves, Kakashi was not surprised at all; it seems that Guy's training time is also coming to an end

Upon hearing this, the figure in the shadows swiftly vanished from sight
