Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 43 Shadow Crocodile

at night.

In the dead of night.

In the room, the painting is about to move.

The branches spreading throughout the room began to gradually bloom cherry blossoms.

Almost overnight, all the branches were covered with cherry blossoms.

In his sleep, Kakashi only felt a sense of tiredness gradually coming up.

The white fox mask on the left wrist slowly dissipated, and finally disappeared.

in a dream.

"This is where……"

Kakashi was a little stunned, looking at the strange environment, he felt a little familiar.

It was a cherry tree.

When the wind blows, the cherry blossoms in the sky are scattered everywhere.

Landed on the curb, landed on the head.

It seems to be a sea of ​​flowers, and the beauty makes people a little enchanted.

The black shoes walked slowly on the cherry blossom road, as if they couldn't bear to step on these petals.

Kakashi looked around, but found nothing else.

"Dream?"

Kakashi murmured.

But soon, he shook his head.

That feeling seems to be a dream, but it is more real than a dream.

"It's a bit familiar here, as if I've seen it somewhere."

Whispered softly, but did not stop.

Out of curiosity, walk slowly.

It is still the endless ocean of cherry blossoms.

Suddenly, Kakashi stopped.

"here……"

The familiar scene emerged, and Kakashi suddenly remembered where this place was.

"This is... the scene in that painting?"

As soon as the words fell, the cherry blossoms that filled the entire world disappeared instantly.

What remains are the dry branches.

The original thriving color, only a depression.

It seems that it was a vibrant spring scene just now, but now it has become an autumn banquet where everything is decaying.

The transformation between life and death seems to be just a moment.

The cherry blossom scene is removed, and the remaining dead branches and broken trees are more in line with the previous scene.

Kakashi can already be sure that this is in the painting.

"Have you been dragged into the painting?"

Kakashi looked at his left wrist, where the original white fox mask had disappeared.

The pupils shrank, and there was a bad feeling.

At this time, a person suddenly ran over from a distance.

A young man in a kimono.

"Are you there, Mimi? Can you come out? I want to see you."

With a delicate face and a somewhat anxious tone.

Passed by Kakashi, but didn't seem to see this one person at all.

"Yasaka?"

Kakashi remembered the story that Mimi told, if he guessed correctly, this person is the Yasaka whom Mimi has been thinking about.

Memories of the past?

Or the story at the time?

Kakashi didn't know, he could only watch quietly.

He understood a little bit.

When he came here, it seemed that he could only be a spectator.

Yasaka stood under the dead tree.

There is no trace of Miya in the withered trees.

There is just an emptiness.

not there.

The person he wanted to see was not here.

Yasaka sat under the tree and sighed long.

It seemed to be a little cold, he tightened his clothes and shivered.

"Miya, do you know? I already knew you were a monster. It's just that I don't want to face me, so I don't want to expose it."

A gentle look appeared on Yasaka's face.

That feeling is like talking about the most beloved person.

"Mimi, do you know? In fact, I have liked you for a long time. It's just that I have never dared to tell you. I am afraid that you will escape, and I am also afraid that you will leave. It is also a very happy thing to see you once a year like this. .but……"

Yasaka lowered his head, with such regret in his eyes.

"But my body can't hold it anymore. Maybe in a few days, I will leave this world. I...I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the next flowering season. Mimi...you can come out and let me see the end One side?"

Yasaka's tone was pleading,

But he was bound to be disappointed, because Minami wasn't here at all.

When it is not the blooming season, Miya will not appear here.

Because she was afraid that meeting Yasaka would make her want to talk to him.

Then his identity will be exposed.

It's just that one wanted to hide it, but the other already knew it.

Her so-called worries are actually not important anymore.

Yasaka leaned against the tree trunk quietly, his breathing became even, and he seemed to be asleep.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he saw the person he wanted to see in his sleep.

"If Miya knew this, he would probably be very sad. Because of his own obsession, he missed the last chance for the two to meet."

Kakashi sighed, and at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from not far away.

"This is……"

Before Kakashi could see what it was, the black shadow had already attached to Yasaka's body.

Yasaka, who was still sleeping soundly, opened his eyes suddenly.

"What!"

He looked terrified, but he couldn't move.

"Hey, I didn't expect to see humans here, you look very delicious."

"you……"

Yasaka struggled violently, but how could the sick body break free from the monster.

Kakashi also saw the true face of Sombra at this time, it was a strange fish.

It looks like a combination of a fathead fish and a crocodile.

A row of teeth, extremely sharp.

Strangely, the monster didn't devour Yasaka's body, but opened its bloody mouth wide and swallowed Yasaka's shadow in one gulp.

Kakashi was slightly taken aback.

"Can shadows eat too?"

After the monster swallowed the shadow, he left contentedly.

Yasaka collapsed to the ground, and the breath of life gradually disappeared.

"Are you going to die? I didn't expect it to be so soon. Forget it... that's enough."

Yasaka lay quietly on the trunk, looked up at the branches.

It seems that the cherry blossoms are already in full bloom there.

And among the cherry blossoms, stretched out a pure white arm.

"Mimi..."

This is the last character in Yasaka's life.

Kakashi sighed leisurely, and there was only emotion about this.

The scene changes.

At the other end of the cherry blossom forest, a person is painting.

Kakashi appeared behind him.

In the painting, the cherry blossom forest is gradually taking shape.

It was this direction that the strange fish left.

The painter has a calm expression on his face, and the brush in his hand is still sketching without haste.

The strange fish was shocked when he saw the painter.

"It's you!"

The painter chuckled.

"Shadow Crocodile, we meet again."

The face of the strange fish was very ugly.

"what you up to?"

"I said that you are not allowed to eat human shadows. It seems that you have forgotten this matter."

"Don't go too far! Do you think I'm really afraid of you!"

"Oh? It seems that I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become a lot more courageous. Well, it was originally the last chance, and now you have no chance."

The strange fish's expression changed drastically, and he quickly backed away.

"Did you think you could run away?"

The painter snorted coldly, and with a light tap of his left hand, the strange fish was immobilized.

"You let me go!"

The cry of the strange fish did not make the painter let go.

With a flick of the paintbrush in his hand, black ink dots flew out and landed on the forehead of the strange fish.

The strange fish stopped moving for an instant.

The painter walked slowly to the side of the strange fish and patted its forehead lightly.

In an instant, a black shadow flew out from the mouth of the strange fish.

It was the shadow of Yasaka before.

The shadow gradually shrunk and fell into the painter's hand.

"Human beings, I'm really sorry, because of my relationship, you were implicated innocently. To express my apology, I will put your shadow into the painting. One day, you will meet the person you want to see."

The painter lightly threw the shadow into the painting.

So, in that painting, there is an extra shadow behind the cherry blossom tree.

With a wave of the artist's right hand, the strange fish disappeared without a trace.

Kakashi looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

The strength of this painter is actually stronger than any monster he has ever seen.

"Could this be the legendary monster that stepped into the realm of the gods?"

Kakashi couldn't help but make such a guess.

But all this is not important anymore.

Kakashi already understood.

It turns out that the group photo in the painting really belongs to Mr. Yasaka.

And that painter should be the famous monster painter mentioned earlier.

Unexpectedly, the strength of this monster painter is also extraordinary.

But why did all this appear in my dreams?

Kakashi felt a little strange.

Especially when he found that the fox mask on his left wrist had disappeared.

If this is true, then the problem may become a bit troublesome.

While Kakashi was thinking, everything around him disappeared like a mirror image.

When I opened my eyes again, the sun had already filled the room.

"Is it just a dream?"

Kakashi got up, and Tanuki who was sleeping on the futon moved his body, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Kakashi looked at his left wrist, his pupils shrank.

"It's gone..."

The white fox mask disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Xuan He Cui exclaimed.

"ah!"

Kakashi was startled, threw off the quilt and ran towards the courtyard.

"What's wrong?"

Xuan and Cui pointed to somewhere.

Kakashi looked at it suspiciously.

But it also showed a look of surprise.

It was a huge cherry blossom tree.

The cherry tree is full of pink cherry blossoms.

"What... what's going on?"

Kakashi was puzzled, but felt that the cherry tree looked very familiar.

It seems that I have just seen it in the last second.

Xuan and Cui shook their heads.

"When we woke up in the morning, we found that there was an extra cherry blossom tree in the courtyard. The cherry blossom tree was so big that it covered the house."

Indeed, the huge cherry blossom tree is more than ten meters high.

The house is only two floors, and the tree is a little taller than the house.

The end result is to completely cover the roof of the house.

If you look at it from the outside, maybe you can only see a big cherry tree.

"The cherry blossoms seem to be filled with astonishing monster power."

After Kakashi carefully sensed it, he quickly discovered the problem.

Minami came out of the room with a look of panic on his face.

"Master Kakashi, no more, the painting is gone."

Kakashi pointed to the huge cherry blossom tree.

"I think it's probably there."

Minya was taken aback, looking at the huge cherry blossom tree in surprise.

"this……"

"If I didn't guess wrong, I don't know what happened to that painting last night. It actually greatly increased the speed of absorbing the demon power. The demon power in my body was actually absorbed nine out of ten."

Kakashi smiled helplessly, never expecting things to turn into the current situation.

The dream last night was probably also the resonance produced by the painting when it absorbed its demon power.

"How could this be? Then, Kakashi-sama, aren't you..."

Hearing this, Minami felt a little guilty.

She thought that nothing would happen before, but she didn't expect that Kakashi's demon power was sucked up at this time.

Kakashi shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem for me. The only trouble is that the fox mask with my demonic power has disappeared. This also means that I will be out of control again. My magic power is gone."

"What will happen then?"

Mimi's expression looked guilty and nervous.

"It's okay, but sometimes humans will suddenly lose sight of me."

Minami breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, this doesn't seem to be serious.

Li Zhui didn't know when he came out of the room.

"In this case, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to school."

Kakashi showed a helpless expression.

"It seems so. It seems that I will go back to the Forest of the Mountain God and practice again."

"The school job?"

Kakashi looked at Tanuki, showing a sly smile.

Li Zhui's hair instantly stood on end.

"what you up to?"

"Hey, Lizhui, don't you know how to transform? Help me go to school for a few days."

"I knew it was not a good thing. But if you go to the forest of mountain gods to practice, can it be done in a few days?"

Li Zhui's gaze was full of suspicion.

"Well, it shouldn't be too long, a month at most."

"Okay, but it's okay, when I come back, I want to eat the pastry you made. One month, no, two months."

"Okay, deal."

The deal of one person and one cat was reached in this way.

At this time, a group photo suddenly jumped from the cherry blossom tree.

Everyone was shocked.

The black shadow did not move, but leaned against the tree.

"What... what's going on?"

Li Zhui looked inexplicable, a little confused about the situation.

Mimi, on the other hand, felt a little familiar.

This posture, and this black shadow.

"That should be Mr. Yasaka's shadow."

Kakashi recalled the scene he saw in the previous painting, and expressed his speculation.

"Mr. Yasaka?"

Minami looked at Kakashi in disbelief.

"Well, I had a dream last night, and I already understood that the black shadow in that painting is Mr. Yasaka's shadow. Now that painting has absorbed my demonic power, and it has become like this, presumably Mr. Yasaka's shadow has followed Out."

"But... why is Yasaka-san's shadow in the painting?"

Mimi was puzzled.

"What I saw in my dream was that a monster named Shadow Crocodile devoured Mr. Yasaka's shadow, so it became like this."

"Shadow crocodile?"

Minya murmured the name, and soon understood.

That kind of monster that specializes in devouring human shadows.

As long as the shadow is swallowed by him, human beings will undoubtedly die.

"Could it be... Could it be that the cause of Mr. Yasaka's death..."

Kakashi nodded, confirming Miya's conjecture.

"Mr. Yasaka..."

Mimi looked at the shadow with distressed eyes, and slowly leaned on it.

Immediately thought of something, jumped onto the cherry blossom tree.

On the tree full of cherry blossoms, Miya stretched out her arm.

Black Shadow raised his head slowly.

Everything seems to be back to the way it was before.
