Iron Canyon.

Kakashi looked at this rather familiar place with some emotion in his heart.

Eight years ago, it was here that he fought Kirabi and the four generations of Thunder Shadow, but before he finished the fight, he ran away.

Eight years, it's been too much.

The traces of the battle with Yao Kirabi had a great impact on Iron Canyon.

The years have not completely erased these traces.

Kakashi and Iron Sword stand on a stone platform in the middle of the canyon.

"Gintoki, I'm still satisfied with this decisive battle location." Iron Sword said with a smile.

Kakashi nodded and said, "It's not bad, it reminds me of something from before." ”

"Huh? Have you been here? Iron Sword wondered.

"Eight years ago, after leaving the Samurai Conference, it was here that I fought Kirabi." Kakashi said.

"I see, no wonder the rocks here were destroyed so much, it turned out to be a good thing you did." Iron Sword said suddenly.

"Why did you choose here, I thought you would put up a ring and come out." Kakashi laughed.

"Eh, the ring or something, it's too troublesome. Moreover, how can that little ring be enough for the two of us to perform? The place, and suitable. Iron Sword laughed.

"Also, this place is really good, and I don't like to be looked at as monkeys by so many people." Kakashi said.

"Hey, me too." Iron Sword laughed.

"Oh? Is it? When I first attended the samurai tournament, I seemed to enjoy seeing you. ”

"Don't mention it, if it weren't for my grandfather asking me to go to the Iron Country to make a name for myself and build momentum for the Beichen family to re-emerge in the Iron Country, I wouldn't have bothered to do these things." Tie Jian said helplessly.

"It seems that living in that big family, there are still a lot of things that can't help yourself." Kakashi sighed.

"There's no way around it, although you're the only one in your family, but it's the same in Konoha."

Kakashi nodded, living in a group, and a lot of things are sometimes involuntary.

But hearing Iron Sword say this, Kakashi remembered something.

Kakashi's back hand of the Hachiki clan left behind during the Warring States period, I don't know if it still exists at this time, and it seems that I need to take a time to take a look.

At the very least, let the Qimu clan and the Golden Ninja Village be combined first.

The fusion of the two forces may make the strength of the Golden Ninja Village even further.

Mifune stood not far from the two of them, next to him, standing in Okisuke.

Okisuke looked at the two people on the high platform and said to Mifune, "Mifune-sama, who do you think will win, Iron Sword or Kakashi?" ”

Mifune pondered for a moment and said, "If it's the overall strength, it will be difficult for the iron sword to defeat Kakashi, but if it's just a sword technique, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”

Okinosuke was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "Mifune-sama, the sword skills of the iron sword have reached that level, and you still can't beat Kakashi?" ”

Mifune shook his head and said, "Kakashi is a ninja in the first place, and sword skills are part of his strength, but not all. I don't know how much strength he has. But I am sure that I am no match for him. ”

"What? How is this possible! Mifune-sama is so powerful, even if Kakashi Hachiki is a genius, it is impossible for him to surpass you at a young age. Okisuke was shocked.

Instead of answering Okisuke's question, Mifune said, "Okisuke, do you know when I first met Kakashi?" ”

Okisuke was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Mifune suddenly said this.

"My subordinates don't know."

Mifune looked at the blue sky, lost in his memories, and said, "The first time I saw Kakashi was when he was fourteen years old, and at that time, he was like a treasure knife still in its scabbard, hidden but not revealed. Although the sword technique has not yet reached the level of sword intent, it has also reached a very high level. At least when I had that level, I was twenty years old. ”

Okisuke was surprised again when he heard this.

Mifune continued, "The second time I saw Kakashi, it was at the samurai convention, and he was twenty years old at the time. Like an unsheathed sword, the edge is revealed! You can also see his performance at that time, the younger generation, no one can compete with him, even if it is an iron sword, in his hands at that time, it can't last ten moves. ”

Okisuke nodded, agreeing with Mifune's statement.

He was also present at the time and still remembers the matchup between Kirabi and Kakashi at the age of eight.

Exciting battles of speed and swordplay.

That kind of knife technique, Osuke doesn't have half the confidence to resist.

And this time when I saw Kakashi, he seemed to be a sword unsheathed, and all the edges seemed to converge. But I can feel his terrifying strength, as well as the sword intent hidden in the thousand thunders. ”

"What? Mifune-sama, do you mean to say that Kakashi also comprehended the sword intent? Okisuke was surprised.

Mifune nodded and said, "Yes, and it is a very mature sword intent, and it has been a long time since I wanted to comprehend it." ”

"This, this, this...... Isn't that scary? Kakashi's genius name is indeed very loud, but I always thought it was in terms of ninja talent, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying in terms of swordsmanship. Iron Sword can be said to be a natural samurai, and it was not until he was twenty-five years old that he officially broke through to the level of sword intent. And this Kakashi, in the case of distracting ninjutsu, can still reach this level, it's terrifying! Okisuke was shocked.

Mifune sighed leisurely and said, "Yes, it's really a terrifying talent, should I say, is it worthy of being the son of Hachiki Shuoshige?" He was even more terrifying than his father. ”

"Konoha is really an amazing character." Okisuke sighed.

"yes, maybe this Kakashi will change the pattern of the ninja world in the future." Mifune said suddenly.

Okisuke was stunned for a moment and said, "Mifune-sama, what do you mean......"

Mifune shook his head and said, "This is just my guess. If you want to reach that level, you can't just be strong, I'm afraid you need some momentum. ”

"That's what Mifune-sama said." Okisuke said.

"Okay, let's see the duel between the two, it's good for you. Maybe you can also use this to break through to the level of sword intent, not necessarily. ”

"Yes, Mifune-sama."

After Okisuke finished speaking, he looked at the two people in front of him intently.

In another part of the Iron Canyon, an old man with white hair and beard led a dozen samurai to ambush here.

"Tieyi, how are things going?" The second elder said.

"It's done, Kakashi Hachiki has been hit."

The second elder's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Very good! Kakashi Hagi, this time, I'll see how you die! ”
