Destiny (Revised)

On the ninth day of the trip, Kakashi was already much more familiar with the family, they got to know each other better.

Kakashi realized that they wanted him to join their family, the children, Gabriel and Cecília especially, became very attached to him.

Júlia treated him as if he were her older brother, Antoni, Anna and Ilona treated Kakashi as an adult, in the first days they felt strange talking to him.

However, over time, they realized his maturity, the three of them were unable to treat him as if he were a mere child.

His family shared a huge amount of gratitude with Kakashi, he saved them when no one else would, most people wouldn't risk their lives for people they didn't know.

But Kakashi did it, and it was thanks to his treatment that Antoni's arm was almost recovered.

During this trip, Kakashi decided that he would read those books himself, so it would be easier to obtain the information he wanted.

Using his clone he didn't get all the information and had to reread the book.

His clone in the tree branches, he was in charge of checking the surroundings.

During this trip some threats were encountered, on the third day of the trip, at dusk they encountered a small pack of five wolves, which were easily shot down by Kakashi.

Antoni skinned the wolves to sell, and they enjoyed the meat for a couple of days.

Yesterday Kakashi met a small group of Endregas, when he went hunting, Kakashi took the opportunity to study their physiology a little.

This day was passing without any apparent problems, nothing out of the ordinary happened, the trip was peaceful and the weather was ideal.

A little distracted by the book and occasional conversations, Kakashi continued on his way.

While they were on the path close to Kakashi's rest time, he heard a sound similar to a human scream of agony, which seemed relatively far away.

The moment Kakashi heard the scream he focused on the sounds around him to check if it was a trap, but he didn't hear anything or anyone.

Only the voice of a woman in agony was heard, Kakashi found it strange, but decided to investigate.

Turning to the family, Kakashi said, "Guys, let's take our break for a bit, I saw signs of an animal, so I'm going to go after it, you wait for me here."

Nodding to the family, he began to prepare the place for his short two-hour break, which was necessary as there were two very young children in the group.

Discreetly leaving a clone in his place, he decided to go investigate, while his clone stayed to protect them.

He couldn't risk losing that family, they were the only ones he knew in this world.

Kakashi then entered the forest, following the sound of the woman's voice, he didn't go carelessly, this world was very strange so he was cautious the entire way.

Approaching the place, Kakashi noticed that something was strange, the voice even though it was very similar to that of a human.

There was something about that voice that made him cautious, Kakashi didn't know what it was, but he wasn't sure if it was from a person in danger, or if it belonged to something else.

Nearby, Kakashi felt the Witcher's medallion begin to vibrate uncontrollably as he began to get closer to the source of the voice.

Arriving at the location, the medallion vibrated uncontrollably, Kakashi already knew the functions of a Witcher's medallion, a possible monster or place of magic was nearby.

Looking around the place Kakashi couldn't find anyone, but the sound of the woman's voice was still heard by him.

Confused by that, Kakashi and as he couldn't see anything, he removed the bandana from his Sharingan, Kakashi focused his gaze around the place.

So finally something appeared, a body composed of pure energy, was seen by him.

Apparition, that was Kakashi's bet, he had no other explanation for that being that was made of pure energy.

Kakashi felt something distorted in the place, he felt hatred and absurd anger emanating from the apparition's body, even though he couldn't see it, the feeling was palpable in the air.

Looking around looking for other creatures that were in the place, Kakashi noticed something strange, he found another type of energy, which was very similar to Naruto's nature chakra.

Seeing that, Kakashi immediately wanted to investigate the being that left that type of energy.

His instincts were informing him that he should follow those tracks, Kakashi couldn't explain it, but he felt that if he didn't find the being that left those tracks he would regret it.

Kakashi could feel traces of this energy spread throughout the place, however most of these traces were contaminated by other energies.

He could see that, the only one that was more dense and was not completely mixed with other energies, was the one that was close to the area of the apparition.

With a difficult decision to be made, Kakashi decides to follow his instincts, he would follow these tracks.

Even if it meant he would have to defeat this apparition, Kakashi knew a little about these beings, he knew it would be a difficult battle.

But this wouldn't be his first time facing a being that used techniques to become immune to attacks, Kakashi knew he could overcome this difficulty.

With his Sharingan activated Kakashi closed his right eye, he knew that as he could not see the being with his normal eye.

Keeping it open would only hinder him, since he would see two different images, his face could hinder him in this battle.

Taking the silver sword, which he stole from the Witcher's corpse, Kakashi descended to the place where the apparition was.

The creature was no longer within reach of Kakashi's eyes, it had disappeared.

As the creature was in its immaterial mode, there was no way for Kakashi to hit it.

Kakashi knew that in this fight, he couldn't use surprise attacks or take the initiative, he would have to be more defensive and wait for the first attack.

A medallion that vibrated constantly, announcing that the creature was close, Kakashi would use it to know when the apparition approached.

Concentrated and waiting for the first attack, Kakashi had his senses focused on the fight, he felt everything around him.

So when the apparition appeared near his feet, attacking him from below, Kakashi was already prepared.

He attacked the apparition before it could touch him, with a quick strike towards the creature's neck, Kakashi wanted to finish it off with one blow.

But unlike what he wanted, his attack barely managed to hurt the creature's body.

The moment his sword touched it, the creature disappeared with a great flash of light, accompanied by a stryonic scream.

Then she appeared a little distance from Kakash, showing herself, the being looked like a dry and burned body.

Dressed in old, torn rags, its hair was white as if the color had been lost, small rays of light were released throughout its body and the creature had feminine features.

Observing the creature, Kakashi had an idea of what he was facing, he was facing a daytime apparition.

A creature that was born when a young girl was brutally murdered or died with great grief.

This being had powerful illusory attacks, being able to suck the vitality of its victims in a ritual similar to a dance.

The daytime apparition was very powerful and difficult to face, with a great capacity to inflict damage, just by approaching its victims.

Kakashi was watching the creature, prepared to react to the being's next attack, which was moving in a strange way.

The creature appeared and disappeared at a great speed, it was almost as if it was teleporting.

She appeared behind Kakashi without showing any sign of this movement, sensing danger approaching, Kakashi moved.

Managing to dodge the apparition's attack even though he didn't see it clearly.

Just by trusting her instincts, Kakashi managed to dodge while attacking.

His sword passed through the apparition causing the least damage possible, the creature barely felt his attack.

Kakashi felt like he had hit something, but it was such a weak sensation that it felt like his sword had touched water.

Realizing that the attack didn't have much effect on the apparition, Kakashi began to think about the reasons for this fact.

From what Kakashi learned in that book, he already knew that this battle would be difficult, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to hurt the creature.

The book stated that the only ones who could face an apparition were the Witchers and Sorceresses, everyone else would have a very difficult time facing an apparition.

Knowing that they would not find an answer at that moment, Kakashi decided to enhance the power of his attacks using chakra.

Imbuing chakra into his sword, Kakashi returned to his defensive position, waiting for the creature's next move.

Attacking once again, the creature appeared on top of Kakashi, stretching out its hand to catch him.

And once again Kakashi attacks her, with his sword that was imbued with chakra.

But this time Kakashi feels his sword passing through something with a little more resistance.

A shrill scream sounded and the apparition disappeared again Kakashi saw something that appeared to be the creature's hand.

It was tangible and visible, with a strange liquid leaking from the creature's severed hand.

The realization of what happened came to Kakashi, he realized that using his chakra he could hurt the creature.

This fight, which previously seemed difficult, became much easier to win, the creature stayed away, it was also confused by what happened.

Kakashi wanted to see if his chakra could hurt the apparition even if it was intangible.

He then quickly advanced and arrived in less than 3 seconds in front of the apparition, attacking it with a sideways slash of his sword.

The creature did not allow itself to be hit, it became cautious after the damage it suffered from Kakashi's hand.

Backing away as best he could, the creature almost managed to escape Kakashi's attack, but the small chakra point passed through its abdomen.

Making a small superficial cut, a strange liquid began to leak from the creature's belly and it moved away once again.

Kakashi went back to looking for the creature, and was unable to find it, the idea that the apparition had fled crossed his mind.

However Kakashi didn't let his guard down, he waited for an attack that could come from any direction.

His decision proved correct when a shrill scream sounded and fog began to appear in the area.

Followed by a very strong flash of light, which affected the entire place, stunning Kakashi.

Even in this situation he remained in his defensive position, focused on his surroundings waiting for the attack.

Several apparitions appeared at the location, and went towards Kakashi, the creature used his special move.

Kakashi had already recovered, he could see the creatures approaching, with each attack he made, Kakashi defeated an apparition.

While defeating the creatures, Kakashi was analyzing the search for the apparition's real body.

In the midst of the appearances, Kakashi saw one whose energy was particularly stronger and who was further away than the others.

Heading towards the real apparition, Kakashi destroyed all the false apparitions that came towards him.

As he approached the true apparition, he quickly advanced while launching an attack towards its neck.

The apparition's head hit the ground, with the defeat of the true apparition, the other apparitions began to disappear.

Disappearing, the creature left only its head and strange dust on the ground.

Kakashi approached and examined the powder that seemed to contain a strange type of energy, the smell of that powder was horrible.

Realizing that he wouldn't learn anything from that, Kakashi turned and returned his gaze to the place where the strange energy was.

Deciding to investigate the source of the energy, with the aim of finding the owner of that energy.

His medallion wouldn't help much in locating the energy trail, it would make it difficult to track the source of the energy.

Looking around for anything that could help him, Kakashi found some faint tracks.

Summoning Pakkun, Kakashi wanted to see if he could track down the owner of that energy.

"Kakashi, these tracks are complicated to track, a lot of smells are mixed in this place, I'll need a cleaner sample."

Nodding Kakashi decided he would have to do this manually, and when he found a right sample Pakkun would take care of the rest.

Concentrating, Kakashi begins to check the energies around him, wanting to isolate that special energy.

This was a difficult task for Kakashi, he was not a natural tracker, he only learned a little about this technique and he did not master it.

It was a very useful skill, but it was very rare, few ninja families had these techniques.

Focusing on that, Kakashi managed to separate the other energy, and focused only on that one, which was similar to natural chakra.

With his eyes closed Kakashi began to analyze the energy, it was an energy without much presence and difficult to perceive.

Unlike Naruto's energy, this energy was imbued with an element, it was something strange, but the similarities were greater than the differences.

Kakashi decided it would be good to investigate, so he and Pakku followed that energy.

As they were wandering through the forest, Kakashi felt that the elemental energy he was following was becoming scarcer.

What made it difficult for him to follow this energy, Kakashi was losing his trail little by little, and soon he would lose that trail.

Along the way, Kakashi began to find small human tracks marked on the forest floor, a person's footsteps marked the damp terrain of the place.

Crouching down to check the footsteps, Kakashi also focused on looking for traces of the energy he was following.

After confirming that that energy belonged to the owner of these little ones, Kakashi began looking for anything that Pakkun could use to track that person.

'From the size and shape of the foot, these steps must belong to an adult woman, what is that good smell? It seems to be a mixture of lilac and currant, a little peculiar, but undeniably a good mixture for a perfume.'

Turning to Pakkun, Kakashi asks, "Do you smell that different Pakkun?"

"There's no way I can't smell it Kakashi, this smell is different from all the other aromas in the place, it's definitely some perfume belonging to a rich person."

Kakashi agreed with that statement, based on what he discovered about this world with Júlia's family, Kakashi said it was a very precarious and backward world compared to his.

The noble and lineage systems were much stronger than in Konoha, even though it had noble families such as the Akimichi and Nara families.

These families had no real benefits provided by the government, apart from the financial resources they had accumulated over generations.

"Pakkun, can you locate the owner of these tracks?", Kakashi was feeling strange about it all.

He didn't know why, but his instincts told him that he had to find the person who owned that energy.

It was the same feeling he had when he decided to let Obito go alone to rescue Rin, Kakashi felt that if he didn't find the owner of the steps, he would regret it for the life of him.

Even though he didn't understand his instincts, Kakashi knew that the best thing was to follow them.

"Of course I can, I'm Pakkun the best tracking dog there is", even if that statement seemed arrogant.

Kakashi trusted Pakkun's abilities, following Kakashi he began to think about the owner of the fragrance, traces and energy.

Something told him that he had to find this person, that she would make a big change in his life.

'Now that I have a little more information, I realize that these energy traces can only belong to a sorceress, in the book it said that sorceresses used the energy of the elements to perform their spells'.

When Kakashi analyzed a little more of that energy, we realized that this hypothesis made a lot of sense, since traces of elements such as fire, air, earth and water were present in the energy.

He didn't expect to meet a sorceress so early in his journey, in fact he knew it would be expensive to have an appointment with one.

So he had already come up with a plan, first he would earn money with some jobs, only then would he go after sorceresses looking for a way to return home.

However, finding the tracks in this way, Kakashi could not miss this opportunity to find her.

Following Pakku up a mountain, while thinking about how he would approach the sorceresses, Kakashi was brought out of his thoughts.

His instincts screamed danger and his necklace vibrated madly, Kakashi even without concentrating felt a huge concentration of elementar energy in the place.

Completely surprised by that, Kakashi realized that something was preventing this energy from spreading, the energy was restricted to a small gap in the mountain.

An opening that looked like a cave, Kakashi smelled the woman coming out of that opening.

Stuck in the difficult decision of whether or not to follow his instincts that sent him to a place that clearly had mortal dangers.

'What should I do, I feel that if I don't go in I will regret it, on the other hand I don't know what threats await me, this place could be my ruin'.

Debating internally, Kakashi decided to follow his instincts, they never made mistakes and it was because of them that he survived to this day.

"Pakkun, I want you to go back to my clone and order it to continue the journey, when I can I will catch up with them."

Nodding his small head, "Intended Kakashi, good luck with your decision", Pakkun ran as fast as he could in the direction of the family's scent.

With his silver sword in hand, Kakashi entered the cave fully prepared for a surprise attack, which never came.

Inside the cave was a whole new world, from the outside it seemed to be just an ordinary cave, but the moment he entered.

Kakashi found himself in another world, the place was totally different from the outside, he recognized the inside of the place.

It was a castle, all the walls were made of well-crafted stones, which seemed very resistant, with rustic furniture scattered around the place.

Fully entering the place, Kakashi noticed that his chakra efficiency was drastically reduced, he felt that the place was trying to dissipate his chakra.

Looking around in confusion, Kakashi found nothing, no being or tool that could be dissipating his chakra.

He also realized that the entrance he entered could no longer be seen, Kakashi was trapped in that location.

Knowing that it would be difficult for him to escape from that place, Kakashi alone decided to find the sorceress, so that together they could leave that place.

Focusing on the sorceress's natural energy, which he felt earlier, Kakashi was able to feel the sorceress's energy around the place.

This time the energy was stronger and clearer, and it was easier to follow after following the energy for a short time.

Kakashi found traces of blood on the floor, bending down he checked the viscosity and smell of the blood.

The blood looked fresh, from the trail it was leaving the person was running away from something and was injured.

Realizing that the blood probably belonged to the sorceress he was looking for, Kakashi hurried forward and continued following the energy.

Approaching a room at the end of a corridor, heavy knocks were heard by him.

It was the sound of heavy blows clashing against a hard floor and wall, destroying furniture in their path.

Kakashi hurried as much as he could, he opened the door in front of him quickly, when he entered he observed the place quickly.

A room with broken furniture scattered everywhere, it was a really large room, the size of a medium-sized house.

In the center of the room was a creature with its body that was a cluster of huge rocks.

With glowing emerald eyes, a green glow emanated from the creature's entire body.

The creature was destroying the room chasing and attacking a woman dressed in black, she was managing to escape the creature even with her injured leg.

Kakashi recognized the creature, the book talked about these constructs, the creature was a golem, a very powerful being that had few weaknesses.

A golem could only be defeated when its core was destroyed, the known weakness of golems is the electrical element.

Golem was a slow creature, a golem's strength came from its defense and enormous physical strength.

Even with the information about the golems, Kakashi would have to be careful, the golems were powerful, but Kakashi's instincts told him that this golem was different.

The creature appeared to have some degree of intelligence, and a relatively high speed for a being with its body type.

Realizing that the woman was getting tired of running away, she attacked the golem but the energy from her attack was dissipated before she could hit the creature.

This place was absorbing everyone's energy, it seems like this place was made to be a sorceress trap, that's what Kakashi believed.

Getting closer and closer to the person, the golem was ready to attack, Kakashi discovered his Sharingar and looked for the creature's core.

But something was preventing his vision from having the necessary penetration into his body, his vision was blurry as if something was affecting him.

The golem's body denied energy, its body was made of an energy resistant material, which only made the situation worse for Kakashi.

Facing a being he didn't know well, in a place where the strength of his jutsus was affected, and he was resistant to energy, made Kakashi cautious.

With his chakra draining quickly if left unchecked, Kakashi knew he couldn't leave a jutsu active for long.

His Raikiri would only hold for a few seconds and he would have to be precise in his attack, seeing the gap in the golem's neck.

Kakashi realized that if he used his silver sword as a catalyst, he could hit the creature's core, that was his plan of action.

Waiting for an opening to attack the golem, Kakashi positioned himself and prepared to advance.

But things didn't go as he expected, Kakashi was waiting for the chance to act, however before that chance appeared.

He saw a situation where he couldn't stay still, the woman lost her balance, the golem took this chance and tried to crush her.

Advancing quickly towards the golem, Kakashi attacked it with his sword imbued with his Raikiri, he aimed for the center of the golem's chest.

His attack, aided by the golem's lack of balance, caused the golem to fall to the ground, causing a loud bang.

Kakashi expected his attack to do more damage to the golem, but unfortunately his sword couldn't penetrate the golem's massive defense.

Raikiri dismissed himself the moment he touched the golem's body, only the tip of his sword managed to penetrate the rock body.

Without suffering any damage from this attack, the golem moved its arm with all its strength towards Kakashi.

That he removed his sword and managed to get away from the golem, with some ease.

Stopping near the woman, Kakashi helped the woman to her feet, she looked at him in a confused manner.

She was ready to escape from this place, when someone saved her and to her surprise it was a small boy, she didn't understand what happened.

Gaining some distance from the golem, he helped the woman lean on the furniture Kakashi stepped in front of her.

While facing the golem and observing its movements, Kakashi spoke to the sorceress.

"Do you have any idea how we can deal with this golem?" Slow, heavy footsteps approached them.

"Is there a spell you can use to give me an opening so I can defeat you?"

Kakashi questioned the woman, keeping an eye on all the golem's movements.

As it was a creature he didn't know well, Kakashi didn't know what abilities this golem possessed.

The sorceress watching the little boy's back, she shook off her confusion, she returned her concentration to the threat to his life.

"He is very resistant to magic, so even using his weakness it will be difficult for our attacks to have any effect on him."

Thinking about what he could do, Yennefer knows he has to buy some time, so he can gather an amount of energy that won't be dissipated when released.

"I need you to get the golem's attention, I have to concentrate and gather energy for my attack, so don't let him get close to me and try not to take my concentration."

Surprised by the woman's authoritarian tone, which treated him like a servant, Kakashi quickly pushed those thoughts out of his head.

Personality didn't matter to him, his priority was defeating the golem, so he had to do what the sorceress asked.

Then he quickly advances towards the golem, attacking it with the chakra-imbued sword towards the golem's legs.

In order to attract the golem's attention, Kakashi moved around the golem while attacking.

Even as he was dodging the golem's attacks easily, Kakashi watched what the woman was doing.

She was gathering energy around her body, Kakashi knew he was preparing some powerful spell.

So he did everything he could to not make any noise, he made the golem get lost trying to attack it, taking advantage of its low mobility.

Kakashi was making him confused, and always attacking the air and not hitting anything, while looking for an opening.

Noticing the movements of the golem, which had little motor coordination, Kakashi found a chance to attack, an opening in that stone body.

Expecting the golem's attack, Kakashi dodged at the last moment and climbed onto his arm, getting close to the golem's head and trying to penetrate the lightning-imbued sword into the opening in its neck.

But the moment he attacked that opening, the golem lowered its head and covered the opening.

Making Kakashi's attack futile, he was unable to penetrate the golem's body.

Discovering that a normal attack would have no effect on him, Kakashi decides to wait for the movement of the woman he saved.

Kakashi then continued dodging the golem's attacks with as few movements as possible.

With the golem's attack speed and limited movement, its strikes posed no danger to Kakashi.

Even though it was very resistant and strong, the golem was unable to use its advantages effectively, it lacked speed.

After 10 minutes of Kakashi distracting the golem, the woman had already gathered enough energy for her attack.

"Bring him closer, my spell is ready, I can't cast it from this distance, it will be more effective at a short distance."

Hearing the woman, Kakashi lured the golem closer to her, at an ideal distance, to be able to save her if necessary.

Uttering some words that Kakashi didn't understand, she launches beams of natural energy at the golem.

It was a powerful attack, which would kill any human, but it was not enough to defeat the golem.

These attacks only stunned him and made him kneel in front of them.

Kakashi didn't miss the opportunity, he once again used Raikiri on his blade and headed towards the golem.

Taking advantage of the opening presented to him, Kakashi attacked him at his core, destroying him in the process.

The stone colossus prostrates itself in front of them, its body crumbling into some smaller stones.

Removing his sword with some difficulty, Kakashi wipes the dirt off his clothes, and puts away his sword.

Covering his Sharingan, Kakashi turned to the woman, and noted that she was not in a good state, panting as she leaned heavily on the bed.

Approaching the woman who was having trouble getting up, Kakashi helps her sit on the bed.

Noticing the wound on her leg, Kakashi stands up and takes a closer look at the situation of the wound.

The sorceress was not happy with this action and protested, he was wary of Kakashi who had just appeared.

Raising his hands, Kakashi speaks to her calmly, he wanted to gain the sorceress's sympathy, and the more he helped her the better their relationship would be.

"I'm not going to do anything weird, I'm just trying to help you take care of that wound, I'm not going to hurt you,"

Carefully removing the boot the woman was wearing, he checked her injuries.

He saw it was just a small scratch and a sprained ankle, so he gave her a little massage to relax the stiff muscles and tendons.

Using the Mystic Palm technique, which is the basic level of medical ninjutsu and the only one he has managed to use.

With a light green light emanating from his hand, Kakashi began to slowly heal the wound on the woman's leg and began to recover her muscles and ease the pain and sprain in her ankle.

Kakashi noticed that it was now easier to use his chakra, it seemed that the environment was no longer dispersing as much energy as before.

Noticing that her wound was visibly healing, the woman was surprised by the treatment, she didn't understand how the technique Kakashi used worked.

Unlike Sorceresses and Witcher, Kakashi did not gather energy from his surroundings, he used a strange internal energy that he did not know.

Wanting to know how he did it, the sorceress was very curious, but her pride prevented her from asking the question.

Looking at the woman, Kakashi appreciates her beauty, even though he was used to beautiful women, the one in front of her was a level above.

She was a very attractive woman, she didn't look more than 20 years old, she had long black curls that went down to her waist.

Her skin was clear and perfect, she looked like porcelain, her eyes were a unique color and had a beautiful violet tone.

Wearing a beautiful necklace with a pentagram print, which added to her charm.

In a set of clothes in black and white, with high quality fabric, those colors stood out, the white of her skin with the black of her hair.

After admiring her beauty for a while, Kakashi reached out to her, and spoke to her.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi, I would like us to get together so we can escape this place, what do you say, shall we form a temporary alliance?"
