After teasing Kimimaro, Kakashi left Otogakure.

After bringing Shisui here a month later, this matter can be regarded as a successful conclusion. ​​

"I don't know what Shisui is doing. It won't be easy to save the Uchiha Clan."

Kakashi was very curious about Shisui's plan, but Shisui did not tell anything about his plan to Kakashi.

It's not that Shisui doesn't trust Kakashi, but that Shisui knows that there is a big risk and doesn't want to involve Kakashi.

Shisui knows that Kakashi has nothing to do with this. Shisui has always been a very stubborn person. It is difficult to change the things he decides.

Therefore, Kakashi did not intend to interfere, and when Shishui needed him, he would appear.

At this moment, a crow appeared in front of Kakashi.

After tying a letter to the crow's feet, the crow disappeared.

This crow is used by Shisui and Kakashi to communicate. Using this crow, Kakashi passed some message to Shisui.

Somewhere in the Land of Fire, a crow suddenly appeared on the shoulder of a handsome boy.

"Hm? A letter from Kakashi?"

Shisui opened the letter, unlocked the seal, and took a closer look.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Shisui then murmured: "Orochimaru? I didn't expect Kakashi to find Orochimaru to get me a new left hand. Okay, it's better if I can have a new left hand."

The crow dissapeared again, Shisui got up, looked at a certain direction, and moved again.

In the territory of the Land of Fire, Merlin City.

Kakashi was sitting in a tavern, drinking sake and eating side dishes, feeling comfortable.

"Ahh, this is life."

Kakashi sighed with happy expression. After coming to this world for so long, it was only during this time of travel that Kakashi realized the beauty of the Naruto World.

Unlike previous fights and killings, Kakashi now knew what the life of ordinary people in this world should be like.

In this bloody world, people can also have an ordinary life.

"Perhaps it is this beautiful ordinary life that made Miko Baa-san to give up her identity as a Shinobi."

Kakashi drank the last sip of sake and was about to get up and leave, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure.

"That is… Asuma?"

He saw two people walked into the door of the tavern, one with short black spiky hair and the other with a bald head.

The two of them have solemn expression, and after they walked in, they glanced around, seeming to be looking for something.

"Chiriku, it seems those people are not here," Asuma whispered.

"Well, it seems that we are too late, and they already left."

"Damn it, we still didn't catch up."

"Don't worry, they should still be around here and won't run too far."

"I hope so." Asuma said with a sigh.

"We have not eaten for two days, so let's eat here first. It's not too late to find them after this."

Asuma nodded and agreed.

They looked around, but found that every table in the tavern was full of people at this time, and there was no empty seat at all.

Soon, the eyes of both of them gathered on Kakashi's table.

Kakashi was seating in this table alone, with three empty seats, and it was the only remaining empty seat left in the tavern.

"Friend, can we sit here?" Chiriku said.

Asuma did not speak, but looked at Kakashi's eyes with some doubts.

'Why does this guy look so familiar?'

Kakashi smiled, and without answering Chiriku's question, he looked at Asuma and said: "Asuma, long time no see."

Asuma was surprised and then said, "You are… Kakashi?"

"Who else could I be? Sit."

Chiriku looked at Asuma and said: "Do you know him?"

Asuma nodded and said: "Yeah, you should also have heard his name before. He is Hatake Kakashi."

Chiriku was also shocked when he heard this. The name of Hatake Kakashi became famous after his fight against Yondaime Raikage two years ago. So almost everyone in the Shinobi world knew this famous name.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Chiriku. I'm Asuma's companion."

"It's nice to meet you, please sit down."

Asuma and Chiriku did not refuse, and sat down directly.

"Kakashi, why are you here? Are you on a mission?"

"No, I took a leave from my Anbu's mission and go out to travel."

"Travel?" Asuma was confused.

"Yeah, travel. Oh yeah, I heard that you left Konoha to become one of Daimyo's Twelve Guardian Shinobi. So why you are here?"

Hearing this, Asuma stopped thinking about why Kakashi would travel, and then said: "It's a long story."

"Oh? Can you tell me?"

Asuma and Chiriku looked at each other, and then Asuma said: "Kakashi, actually, this mission can't be told to outsider. But right now, we have reached a critical moment, but there is no clue, so we need your help."

"What can I do?"

Asuma took out a waistcloth from his ninja bag. There is a kanji 'Fire' embroidered on it.

"Kakashi, I hope you can help me find the owner of this waistcloth."

"This is the waistcloth of the Twelve Guardian Shinobi. Are you looking for your own companion?" Kakashi was surprised.

Asuma nodded and said: "Yeah, his name is Kazuma, we don't know what he is doing right now. But his behavior is very weird, so I and Chiriku are trying to look for his trace."

"That's it. Then it won't be difficult. You two should eat first. We can find his trace after you two finishes."

"Okay."

Asuma and Chiriku quickly finished their food, and the three of them left the tavern together.

After finding a secluded place, Kakashi uses Summoning Technique.

Slamming his right hand on the ground, black circle formed immediately, and smoke appeared with a bang.

When the smoke dissipated, eight dogs with different sizes appeared in front of Kakashi and the others.

Eight Shinobi dogs!

"Hey, Kakashi, it's been a long time. What's the matter?"

Pakkun said as he sits on the top of the head of a relatively large dog.

"Pakkun, find the owner of this waistcloth."

"No problem."

Pakkun took the waistcloth, smelled it with his nose, and then handed it to the other seven Shinobi dogs.

"Okay?"

"Yeah."

"Well then! Scatter!"

With a command from Pakkun, the eight Shinobi dogs disappeared instantly.

Kakashi then said: "Asuma, let's wait here for a while. There should be some news soon."

"Okay, speaking of which, Kakashi, your summoned beast is really convenient." Asuma said with a smile.

Kakashi scratch his nose, and said with a smile: "It's alright. Asuma, maybe you should find Sandaime-sama and ask him to let you sign the summoning contract of Enma's clan. It should come in handy."

Asuma's expression become stern and then he said, "Hmph, I don't want that Old Man's Ninjutsu. I can do it by myself."

Hearing this, Kakashi shook his head, 'It seems that Asuma's rebellious period has not ended.'
