On the vast sea, Kakashi rides a lone boat.
He has just completed an S-rank mission and is on his way back to Konoha.
"This time Tsunade-sama is asking too much from me, but fortunately, I finally finished all these missions." Kakashi muttered.
At this time, a crow flew out of the sky and landed on Kakashi's shoulder.
"Huh? Is there news from Shisui?"
Kakashi said as he took the letter from the crow's feet and unlocked the seal on it.
Kakashi looked at it and then said to himself: "Is Rōran already found? So it is time to leave Konoha."
As the crow flew away, Kakashi's eye showed an excited glint.
Suddenly a big ship appeared in the distance, with Konoha's flag hung on it.
"Huh? Who is it? Why did it appear here?"
When Kakashi saw the big ship, the people on the big ship also saw Kakashi's boat.
Kakashi saw a big man wearing a black windbreaker standing on the deck of the big ship, with two scars on his face, one of which extended directly from the corner of his eyes to his chin, looking very hideous.
He was holding a telescope in his hand, and he saw that inside the small boat was Kakashi alone.
"Kakashi-sama is in front of us, let's drive over to meet him."
The big ship gradually approached, and Kakashi finally saw the people on it.
"Ibiki? Why are you here?" Kakashi asked in surprise.
"Kakashi-sama, I happened to be nearby when I was on a mission, and I received a letter from Tsunade-sama asking me to go to the Land of Tea to pick up some injured Shinobi."
"The Land of Tea? Who was injured," Kakashi asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, the injured person has something to do with you, Kakashi-sama. It is your students, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto."
"Is it both of them? What happened?" Kakashi was surprised. He didn't expect that the injured Shinobi would be Naruto and Sasuke.
"Kakashi-sama, you'd better come up first. We can also go back together."
Kakashi nodded and said: "Alright."
Kakashi then jumped onto the big ship, and his boat was pulled up into the cabin by others and placed under the deck.
Under Ibiki's statement, Kakashi understood what was going on.
It turned out that had assigned a B-rank mission to the Team 7, and then they encounter Rokushō Aoi during the mission.
This Rokushō Aoi used to be a Chunin of Konoha. Back then, he stole the Sword of the Thunder God and fled from Konoha, and then became a Jōnin in the Amegakure.
Although Rokushō Aoi's strength was average, the Sword of the Thunder God was enough to defeat all normal Chunin.
After all, the Sword of the Thunder God was originally the sword of Nidaime Hokage. All materials are very rare and it also possesses powerful Lightning Attribute.
Sasuke and Naruto encountered this kind of enemy. Although they defeated their opponents in the end, they were also injured.
And the person they need to protect this time is the brother of Ibiki, who had also defected from Konoha back then.
In the first round of the test, he failed because he didn't answer Ibiki's tenth question. He was deceived by Rokushō Aoi, who was his teacher at the time, and stole the Sword of the Thunder God.
After that, Rokushō Aoi took Idate away from Konoha.
Then he was intercepted by Ibiki during his run, and although Idate was rescued, he did not dare to return to Konoha and then go to the Land of Tea, becoming a member of Wasabi Family.
Kakashi then said: "Ibiki, I I didn't expect there would be such a mess in your household."
Ibiki smiled bitterly and said: "Yeah, it is really unfortunate. I hope I find something when I see that brat. Since he doesn't want to become a Shinobi, I won't force him. After all, Shinobi is not a good profession."
"Well, everyone has their own ambitions. It doesn't matter if he doesn't return to Konoha, otherwise, with his faults in the past, he will be in prison. If he doesn't return, the village will just let him go."
"I know."
The big ship slowly approached the dock of the Land of Tea, and there were already people waiting on the shore.
Sasuke and Naruto with bandages on their bodies, and Sakura who is worried on the side. There is also a young man who is a little older than the Genin, he should be Ibiki's brother, Morino Idate.
When the ship gets into the dock, Kakashi walked down and said, "Oh, you're really beaten up."
Hearing the familiar voice, the three Genin were all taken aback. They looked over, and saw that it was Kakashi, and they were all surprised.
"Kakashi-sensei? Why are you here?" Sakura asked.
"I just passed by and met Ibiki on my way back. I heard that both Naruto and Sasuke were injured. You two sure are careless." Kakashi said with a smile.
" No, it's because that green-haired guy was using Sword of the Thunder God, otherwise, Sasuke and I would have beaten that guy easily!" Naruto said forcefully.
Although Sasuke didn't say anything, the expression on his face showed he thinks the same as Naruto.
"Well, it's fine that you win." Kakashi said with a smile.
Sakura took out a sword that was broken in half and said: "Kakashi-sensei, this is like Nidaime Hokage's Sword of the Thunder God. It should be okay if it becomes like this right?"
Kakashi took a look, and was a little frightened. 'This material actually contained a powerful Lighting Attribute Chakra, no wonder it was so powerful.'
"I don't know, I will take it back and show it to Tsunade-sama. But there should be no problem," Kakashi said.
The three Genin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, after all, this sword is one of Nidaime Hokage's relics, so the three Genin are a little scared after seeing it broken.
Although Sword of the Thunder God is powerful, its power in the hands of Rokushō Aoi and Nidaime Hokage is completely different.
Otherwise, Rokushō Aoi will not be defeated by Naruto and Sasuke.
"Okay, get on the ship, it's time to go back."
"Yes!"
Kakashi supported Naruto, and Sakura supported Sasuke, and the four got on the ship together.
When Idate saw Ibiki who was on the side, his heart was very nervous.
The big brother who he hadn't seen for many years suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't know what to say.
"Okay everyone, let's go back." Ibiki also didn't say anything to Idate, and just told Konoha's people to get on board and set sail.
Idate was stunned for a moment. He looked at Ibiki's leaving back, bowed deeply, and said: "Ibiki nii-san, I know what your tenth question means, and I will learn to trust others!"
Hearing this, Ibiki showed a smile, and said in his heart: 'It's good that you are enlightened.'
Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but mutter: "Ibiki is really a strange guy. He doesn't even show any expression when he saw his younger brother."
The big ship sailed and embarked on the way back to Konoha.
Hokage Tower, Hokage Office.
At this moment, there was a broken Sword of the Thunder God on Tsunade's desk.
"Things are like this," Kakashi said.
"Well, let's forget about the Sword of the Thunder God. Although it is one of Nidaime Hokage's relics, it is only a memorable item now, and there is no such way to use this as weapon anymore." Tsunade said with complicated emotion.
"Tsunade-sama, can you give this broken sword to me?" Kakashi said suddenly.
"Huh? What do you want this for?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"My Millennium Sword is damaged by Sword of Kusanagi when I fight against Orochimaru back then. There was no suitable material to repair it, so I intend to use this broken sword to fuse with the Millennium Sword and recast the Millennium Sword."
Tsunade thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will give it to you, it's useless anyway. In your hands, maybe it won't lose its reputation as the legendary Sword of the Thunder God ."
"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."
"You're welcome. you have worked hard these days, so you can go back and rest," Tsunade said.
Hearing this, Kakashi did not leave immediately, but stood in place.
"What's wrong? Kakashi, is there something else you want to talk about?" Tsunade asked.
"Tsunade-sama, I need to leave Konoha for a while to do something, so I hope you can approve me to leave the village."
Tsunade's expression changed, and she asked: "What's the matter?"
"It's about my Sharingan. Since my Mangekyō Sharingan has been opened, my vision has been declining. This may be the drawback of the Mangekyō Sharingan. The more I use it, the more my vision will be sealed. I have already found a solution that can change this problem. So I need to leave Konoha to get it."
"Is it that serious?"
Kakashi smiled and said: "I will lose my sight completely if I use it a few more times."
"Okay, I approved, but you have to come back soon. Anbu's affairs are still waiting for you."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama, I will arrange everything before leaving," Kakashi said.
"I know that you have your own measure about this. Although you are not willing to say where you will go to, it must be a dangerous place. Pay more attention to your safety," Tsunade said.
"I will, after all, I don't want to leave this world." Kakashi said with a smile.
'Yeah, when I come back, it will be the time to completely change the world!'
