Chapter 395 Kakashi's Mistake

The four followed after Kakashi, and then Sakura asked with some doubts: "Kakashi-sensei, what's the matter?"

"Since Orochimaru was here, it means that he has arrived early. If he arrives, where will he go to?" Kakashi said.

The four of them were startled when they heard this, and Sakura said: "The Otogakure's camp!"

"Yes, Shikaku-senpai and Houten are the Otogakure's camp after separating from us. If Orochimaru were there, I am afraid..." Kakashi said, feeling anxious.

He didn't expect that the information provided by the Otogakure's Shinobi who they caught back then was wrong.

It should be that Orochimaru is moving faster than expected, or there's something else happened, so that he arrived here so quickly.

Sasuke suddenly said at this moment: "Kakashi-sensei, Shikaku-senpai should be fine."

"Huh? Sasuke, how do you know?" Kakashi asked curiously.

"We just had a fight with Guren and the Sound Four. It took about ten minutes for Orochimaru to come there. If Orochimaru rushed over from the camp after Shikaku- sensei arrives, he wouldn't be able to come so fast as the camp and our location is far away. That means he is already not in the camp when Shikaku-sensei arrived. If Orochimaru met Shikaku-sensei, he won't be able to come to our location that fast as with Shikaku-sensei's strength, it is impossible for Orochimaru to finish the fight quickly."

Hearing Sasuke's deduction, Kakashi was stunned, and he thought that it really did make sense.

However, Kakashi's speed did not slow down.

"Sasuke, you may be right, but at this moment, Orochimaru is also very likely to go back to the the Otogakure's camp, so we still have to go there quickly, just in case, as we didn't know if Shikaku-senpai has finished attacking the camp."

Sasuke nodded and said: "Yes!"

Kakashi can't use Sage Mode at this time, so he didn't know how Shikaku is.

'Pakkun hasn't returned yet. So he should be still with Shikaku-senpai. That means there should be no major problem.' Kakashi secretly thought.

The five Konoha's Shinobi's speed is extremely fast as they run towards the Otogakure's camp.

However, Kakashi still feels that they are a bit slow, so he plans use his full speed and go first.

Sasuke and Sakura have Kakashi's Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) kunai. If something goes wrong, he can rush over as soon as possible, so there should be no problem.

Just as Kakashi was about to accelerate, Karin suddenly said: "Kakashi-nii, I can feel Shikaku-sensei and Houten's Chakra. They are running towards us."

As soon as he heard this, Kakashi immediately cancel his plan.

He almost forgot that Karin's perception ability is not weaker than when he is using Sage Mode.

"How far are they?" Kakashi asked.

"If we move forward with this speed, we will meet them in three minutes."

"Really? That's good." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief as it seemed that there shouldn't be any problem.

Three minutes later, Kakashi's group met Shikaku's group.

"Shikaku-senpai, what is the situation?" Kakashi asked.

"Successfully solved, there were only a few people left at Otogakure's camp. Houten and I were able to resolve the battle very quickly. Originally, we planned to clean the battlefield, but Pakkun suddenly said that your smell was approaching quickly, and I thought it might be an accident. So I rushed over quickly. Did you solve the problem on your side?" Shikaku said.

"Well, the matter was resolved smoothly. We got the Kusanagi Sword and we also met the Orochimaru."

Shikaku was surprised and said: "So Orochimaru is really here? No wonder there are not many people on Otogakure's camp left. I guess that the rest of the people are called back by Orochimaru. Did you fight Orochimaru?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "We have constraints on each other and didn't do anything, but I feel that Orochimaru seems a little weird."

"Weird? Why did you say so?"

"It's like he turned into someone else. It's possible that Orochimaru has used Fushi Tensei (Living Corpse Reincarnation) again." Kakashi thought for a moment and gave his answer.

"Is that so? According to the intelligence, Orochimaru's last body fits perfectly last time, and he was able to display almost all of his strength. For him to use Fushi Tensei with such a good body, could it be that he has found a better body?" Shikaku guessed.

Hearing Shikaku's guess, Kakashi suddenly realized something.

'Is it... Kimimaro!'

Originally Orochimaru is extremely satisfied with Kimimaro's body. As Kimimaro has Bloodline Disease, he tried to get Sasuke's body.

But now that Kimimaro's Bloodline Disease has been healed with Kakashi's help, it is not impossible for Orochimaru to take Kimimaro's body.

Sound Four and Guren appeared, but Kimimaro who was the strongest didn't appear...

Kakashi felt a little scared, as Orochimaru seemed to have found a new path.

'Could it be that Orochimaru will do something to the Hyuga Clan?' Kakashi's secretly thought as he really felt that it is a possibility.

"It seems that I have created a big problem for myself."

Kakashi's mind flooded with many thoughts, but they were all vague.

But what is certain is that Orochimaru at this time may be difficult to deal with.

Seeing Kakashi's expression changed a little, Shikaku asked: "Kakashi, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just think that Orochimaru's strength has become stronger and may affect Konoha," Kakashi explained casually.

"Maybe, but now is not the time to think about that, Orochimaru's trace is not easy to find, so we should report the mission's situation to Godaime-sama." Shikaku said.

"Yeah, we should just let Tsunade-sama to worry about it." Kakashi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Sakura mourned for Tsunade.

She felt that these two people are really good at throwing responsibility.

After discussing for a while, the seven Konoha's Shinobi returned to the Daimyo Mansion in the Land of Flowers.

Shikaku reported to the Daimyo about the mission, and asked the Daimyo to send someone to Otogakure's camp to clean the battlefield.

At this time, Orochimaru should have already left, so there is no danger for these people to go.

After the Daimyo knew that the group of unknown Shinobi has been dealt with, he was very happy. He originally wants to have a big celebration, but considering Kakashi and his group were busy all night and must be tired, he decided to postponed it until tomorrow.

As for the issue of the Kusanagi Sword, the Daimyo did not mention anything.

For the Land of Flowers, the Kusanagi Sword is useless. With the Land of Flowers' strength, no matter whether this Kusanagi Sword is real or fake, they can't keep it.

The Daimyo has a very clear understanding about the so-called politic.

Therefore, instead of asking for the sword back and offend Konoha, it is better to give it to Konoha for favor.

Perhaps with this, they can establish a more friendly diplomacy with Konoha, and this benefit is far more valuable to the Land of Flowers than the Kusanagi Sword itself.

Both sides have such a tacit understanding, so the Kusanagi Sword naturally fell into Konoha's hands.
