Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

The next day, Kakashi and Tetsuken come to the Iron Plaza.

"Gintoki, did you see that? That is the arena of the Iron Plaza. Only those who win the preliminary rounds are eligible to fight in the arena. That is the greatest honor for the samurai."

The arena of Iron Plaza, which basically occupies one-third of the Iron Plaza, is reserved for two people for a decisive battle. And it is indeed looks imposing.

The ring is made of the strongest black stone, which has high hardness.

The battle between the samurai is very destructive. If the arena is made of ordinary stones, then the arena will be destroyed after a single battle.

In that case, it would be too much trouble.

Suddenly, Tetsuken pointed at the high platform in the distance and said: "Gintoki, you see that, the person that is on that high platform is the Land of Iron's Leader, Mifune-sama!"

Hearing this, Kakashi looked at the high platform, and sure enough, there is a thin figure on top of the high platform.

Looking at his face, Kakashi knows that it was Mifune who had taught him Shunpo six years ago.

It's just that compared to his appearance at that time, Mifune at this time was already a bit old.

Time is not forgiving. Even if it is someone as strong as Uchiha Madara, he still can't resist the erosion of time.

It is no wonder that Orochimaru has such a great obsession with immortality.

It's really hard to accept the once young and powerful body, became weak and old body.

"Mifune-sama is a true samurai with absolute strength! He is my goal, and one day, I will surpass him!"

Tetsuken's confident words sounded in Kakashi's ear.

Kakashi just chuckled at this.

Although he has not known Tetsuken for a long time, Kakashi can feel the powerful strength in Tetsuken's body.

In time, surpassing Mifune is not an unattainable dream for Tetsuken.

Tetsuken's voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear it, but no one showed Tetsuken contempt.

Because, most people here are also had this goal.

They are all young samurai, and it is the time when they are full of passion.

They are full of passion, and they think they have the ability and talent to do this.

Although the reality will slowly wake them up, it does not prevent them from thinking about all kinds of fantasies at this time.

Not long after, the Iron Plaza is already full of people.

Seeing that it is almost time, Osuke stands on the central high platform of Iron Plaza and starts his speech.

"Young samurai, welcome everyone to the Samurai Conference!"

Osuke's voice was very loud, and with the help of Chakra, it easily reached the ears of everyone present.

The originally noisy Iron Plaza instantly became quiet.

"First of all, I would like to welcome everyone here. The Samurai Conference happens once every three years, and today is the new Samurai Conference!"

"Next, the preliminary round of the Samurai Conference will be held. I believe everyone is already understands about the rules. There are a total of twenty-six divisions, and they are on the twenty-six arenas over there. Only those who win on each of those twenty-six arenas will get into the finals."

Osuke's sharp eyes swept in front of everyone, and then he said: "Now, let the competition begins!"

Following Osuke's order, Samurai jumped to those twenty-six arenas. Those Samurai are the referees for the preliminary round.

"Okay, everyone have one minute to return to their ring. After one minute, the referee will start reading the participant numbers."

"Silver, I will go to the C group first. Good luck!"

Tetsuken finished speaking and starts running. Kakashi didn't care, and walked to the Z group on his own.

Kakashi's number is six, which is relatively early.

According to the 1v1 mode, he should be the third pair to fight.

One minute passed quickly.

Kakashi looked around, and saw that there were a total of twelve people in the Z group, that is to say, there should be more than 300 people who participate in this competition.

Compared with Shinobi, Samurai's number is indeed a lot less.

Kakashi's thought did not last long. Soon, the referee in the Z group announced the start of the competition.

"Z Group, No. 1 Inoue Ryu versus No. 2 Matsushita Godo."

As soon as the voice fell, two young Samurai jumped onto the ring.

The Samurai Conference has restrictions on age and the participant age cannot exceed 30. Therefore, all the Samurai who come here are the younger generation of Samurai.

Inoue and Matsushita bowed at each other, and then put their right hand on the handle of their sword, and their left hand supported the scabbard.

Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that these two men both practiced sword drawing technique.

Sword drawing technique, or usually called Iaidō.

The user put their sword in the scabbard and observes their enemy's movement. When the sword is drawn out of the scabbard, it needs to be like a flash, so that it will kill their enemy with one blow.

It has a very high destructive power.

But there are also major flaws in Iaidō.

If the attack misses, then the user is likely to fall into a very passive situation.

All the people present have obviously discovered this.

Iaidō is also a high level technique in swordsmanship. It is very easy to get started, but if they want to master it, only few people do it.

After all, drawing a sword day after day is monotonous and tasteless.

If the user didn't achieve certain mastery in Iaidō, then it won't have much power.

Most people will choose to give up this kind of sword technique as it does not necessarily yield gains.

However, it is clear that the two people at the arena right now have already achieved certain mastery in Iaidō.

Samurai is someone who pays attention to their beliefs.

So the duel between Samurai is often a collision between beliefs.

Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the strength of these two is similar.

Otherwise, no matter how firm your belief is, it's useless.

Tigers won't be killed by sheep just because they lose their teeth.

Inoue and Matsushita are looking at each other were with eyes full of solemnity.

Since they were all samurai using Iaidō, the duel will end in an instant.

One slash, either lose or win!

The two faced each other for about a minute, but the observers were not impatient at all.

Kakashi nodded slightly and thought, 'The basic skills of the two people are indeed very solid. Although their strength is average, if they can continue to persevere, they may be able to achieve success in the future.'

A breeze blew, and Inoue's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Kakashi's eyes lit up, 'There's flaw! It's now!

Matsushita also noticed this, and whispered: "Iaidō Slash!"

The white light of the sword instantly bloomed from Matsushita's scabbard, like a crescent moon.

Inoue was shocked and attack at the same time, but unfortunately, it was obviously a step too late.

With the same crescent moon, Inoue's sword was blown by Matsushita and fell into the arena.

Inoue only felt that his right hand was numb, and he lost all of his strength for a while.

Upon seeing this, the referee immediately said: "The winner is Matsushita Godo!"

Hearing this, Inoue's expression was extremely bitter, and he retired sadly from the arena.

And Matsushita showed a hint of joy.

The strength of these two is actually similar. If it weren't for that breeze, the outcome would be unpredictable.

But luck is also part of the Strength.

The next two Samurai apparently did not have the level of Inoue and Matsushita. Amidst the sound of fighting, the two struggled to decide the winner.

Kakashi looked dull and didn't have any interest in this fight.

The previous matchup between Inoue and Matsushita was still a bit interesting, but the level of these two are not good at all.

Kakashi took a quick look at C group and found that Tetsuken had come down from the arena.

Seeing his relaxed look, it was obvious that his opponent did not cause him much trouble.

But it's as expected, after all, with Tetsuken's strength, as long as his luck is not too bad, it is certainly no problem for him to be the winner of C group.

"Next, Sakata Gintoki versus Aso Fukigi."
