"Ah, thank you for the compliment. However, Watergate is the most suitable ninja we have ever seen to be Naruto. Such a talented person may not appear again in the future. We don't want to be enemies with him.”Mito Flame exclaimed.
"Hahahaha, I didn't know you had such good taste, old man. Shui Men is my personal disciple, the savior of the world.”When Mito Hayato praised the water gate, his master, Selai, felt honored and laughed without restraint.
"In that case, you will bring the Wave of Feng Shui Sect here. Men Yan and I will arrange for the Dark Group. Do you have any objections, Tsunei?" After all, Okami was the fifth generation Naruto. Although he had already decided, Haru still had to ask for Okami's opinion.
"Hmph, personally arranging the Dark Group. As expected, you still don't trust me? Forget it. I don't want to worry about it anyway. I'll leave everything to you.”Okami picked up a document listlessly and replied casually.
"Then, farewell." Mito Kaimon and his new wife, Haruka Okatsuki, nodded slightly before turning around and leaving.
"Hmph, they are really two old and tough fellows. Where could that kid be? Well, it's just a few places. I'll make a trip myself.”Zilai also mumbled a few times before turning around and opening the window. He didn't even go through the main entrance and just went through the window.
" Ah, one or two of them are like this. What a headache." Okami scratched his head in frustration when he saw that the three of them were ignoring him.
"So, Kakashi, did Teacher Lai Lai Ye send you here?”
Kakashi looked at Watergate's calm face and chuckled." As expected, nothing can be hidden from Teacher.”
"…You didn't plan to hide anything, did you?" Watergate was silent for a moment before he said indifferently," That kind of straightforward questioning method is unlike you, Kakashi.”
"Well, I have to change it occasionally. However, it's not like you to hide the truth so that the people you care about don't worry, and instead make the people you care about worry more.”
" Heh, you've really grown up, Kakashi." Watergate smiled in relief." I'll tell you everything." However, before that, aren't you going to tell me your guess first? Kakashi."
"..." Kakashi stared straight at Shuimen." Is this considered a test for me?”
"Hehe, you can say that. After all, I am your teacher." Shuizun winked playfully.
"I see. "Then I won't decline." Kakashi closed his eyes and raised his chin slightly." Although I still don't have a clue as to what Teacher said I have to do, it's easy to think that the ultimate goal is to get rid of the Nine-tailed Chakra Body and return my soul to my own body to truly revive. However, his teacher had probably planned to fight Nine-tails directly in the form of a soul from the beginning.”
Shui Men's expression changed, and he looked at Kakashi in disbelief.""This really surprised me. How did you think of this, Kakashi?”
"Well, it's nothing. " Because I'm Teacher's student, I understand Teacher's personality. With some analysis, I came to this conclusion." Kakashi habitually scratched his head." In the medical school, Teacher once told me that he was forced to make an agreement with Nine-Tailed because he didn't expect that there would be a complicated spatial passageway between this world and the world sealed by Death. However, with his teacher's personality and the thirteen years he had spent with Nine-tails, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to get rid of Nine-tails 'entanglement in his soul state. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an unfavorable agreement with Nine-tails. However, when Kiraiya-sama asked, Sensei subconsciously didn't want to go into details. Moreover, Sensei didn't reveal her identity to Naruto during the two times she had interacted with him. Hehe, Naruto Uzumaki, this surname, coupled with the fact that Nine Tails was sealed, it was easy to guess that Naruto was actually Teacher's son, right?”
As if he was trying to confirm if what he said was accurate, Kakashi paused and looked at the water gate.
"Ah, that's it. Naruto is indeed my beloved son." At the mention of Naruto, his eyes revealed sadness and guilt, but it still confirmed Kakashi's guess.
" If I subconsciously hid it from Lord Yukiya, it can be understood as worrying about the relationship between Lord Yukiya and the higher-ups and being afraid of revealing my identity, thus being restrained by the higher-ups. Then there is no reason to hide it from my beloved son, Naruto. After all, such concerns are insignificant in the strong feelings of recognizing my beloved son. In other words, Sensei had a reason why he couldn't tell Naruto. That reason was probably because he was afraid that he might not be able to truly gain a new life and let Naruto suffer the pain of losing what he had gained.”
"I could have easily gotten rid of Nine-Tails, but I still had to bear the risk of dying. Then, where did the danger come from?”Kakashi extended two fingers." There are two dangers. Firstly, his teacher had no intention of getting rid of the Nine-tailed creature from the start. Instead, he chose to fight against the Nine-tailed creature directly and control it. This would naturally put him in greater danger. Secondly, even if his teacher got rid of the Nine-Tails, there was no guarantee that everything would be fine. The soul of a dead person returning to the physical body and being reborn was something that had never happened before. How long would it take for the soul to be reborn after attaching itself to the body? Would it be able to control the body's movements immediately after being reborn? Would it be able to produce chakras immediately after controlling the body or would it be able to produce enough chakras to perform ninjutsu? These were all unknown. If there was even a single mistake in all of this, he would be doomed in the battle against Nine-tails. After all, the opponent was Nine-Tails. Even if they found more people to help, they would not be able to protect a person without any combat strength. Of the two risks, one is known and the other is unknown. If I had to choose, I would choose the former. After all, the unknown always gave people an uneasy feeling.”
"Pa, pa, pa." Shui Men clapped his hands in approval and sighed."What a brilliant analysis, Kakashi. It was amazing that he had guessed almost everything correctly. As expected of the famous ninja clone. It was no wonder that the information from the intelligence department wrote," A man with a comprehensive foundation of ninjutsu, excellent physical skills, powerful attack techniques, calm analytical skills, and more than a thousand copies of ninjutsu. He is the number one master of Koba and the best successor of the fifth generation Naruto." If Master Tsunete hadn't returned to the village, Kakashi, you might have already become the fifth generation Naruto.”
"Well, I'm not suitable for Naruto.”Even Kakashi felt embarrassed to be praised by Watergate.
"In that case, Kakashi, what I want to add is something that you are unable to analyze due to your limited intelligence. I originally wanted to tell you and Teacher Ziraiya after it was done, but since you want to know so much, I'll tell you first. " About that thing that even you don't have a clue about," a mysterious smile appeared on Watergate's face." I'll tell you.”
"Hehe, I'm listening, Teacher.”A rare look of interest appeared on Kakashi's face.
"Actually, Kakashi, your analysis is almost completely correct. The only thing that isn't accurate is that the risk of me fighting Nine-tails head-on in my soul form isn't too great. As long as I can find that seal, I'll have enough confidence in dealing with Nine-tails.”
"That seal?" Kakashi was slightly startled.
"Ah, that supreme seal of the Whirlpool Race, the Six Paths Seal!”Shui Men's eyes were filled with respect.
"…" Kakashi was stunned for a moment before asking in disbelief," Six seals? Was it related to the legendary Immortal of the Six Paths? I don't think I've heard of it before."
"I don't know if it's related to the Six Paths Immortal, but this seal has existed since the establishment of the Swirl Race. It's an extremely important seal for the Swirl Race. Its ability is to completely suppress the tail beast!”，Water Gate sighed." The Swirl Clan is feared by people because of their powerful sealing techniques and their natural physique. And the six seals were the ones that could help Ren Zhu Li reach an extremely high level of control over the tail beasts! As long as he had the six seals, he would be able to possess terrifying combat strength. Mu Ye and the Whirlpool Country had been on good terms because of this consideration. The thing I said I needed to do was to find the six seals.”
"Teacher, do you have any clues regarding the six seals?”Kakashi asked anxiously.
"Ah, I'm not sure. In fact, the Six Paths Seal should be in the hands of Teacher Kuraiya. I prepared it for Naruto so that he could control the Nine-tailed Sword. "That seal was brought to Kiba by Lord Uzumaki Mito when Kiba established diplomatic relations with the Whirlpool Nation. Kiba and the Whirlpool Nation agreed that only the Nine-Tailed Pillars of the Whirlpool Race could keep and use this seal, so the seal of the Six Paths was later passed down to Kushina by Lord Uzumaki Mito and later left to Naruto," Watergate explained.
"Since we already know where the six seals are, why do we still need to search for them? Even if there was an agreement with the Whirlpool Country, the Whirlpool Country had already been destroyed during the Third Ninja World War. The Whirlpool Race had almost gone extinct as well. That agreement was no longer binding, right? "And there shouldn't be a second seal that has existed since the beginning of history, right?" Kakashi asked.
" Indeed, there was originally only one Six Paths Seal. However, considering how powerful the Six Paths Seal is and how important it is to the Whirlpool Race, the Whirlpool Country spent several generations and exhausted the power of the entire country. After failing countless times, they were lucky enough to successfully replicate a new, almost perfect Six Paths Seal. Therefore, there was still another Six Paths Seal.”Watergate sighed.
"A replicated sealing technique? " A seal of that level is really not simple," Kakashi sighed." Does that mean Sensei wants to leave the six seals in the hands of Lord Kuaiya for Naruto to use and find another one himself? However, since he had a ready-made seal in his hands, why not use it directly? Wouldn't it be better to wait for his teacher to successfully be reborn before looking for another seal?”Kakashi asked in confusion.
" Didn't I just say that the new Six Paths Seal is a near-perfect replica? That means that this seal still has flaws." Shui Men sighed softly." To the Vortex Country, this is a perfect imitation.”
