Naruto's strongest Kakashi

Chapter 173 Tombstone
Trotting all the way, soon, the ruins in front of him gradually receded, and Parker brought Kakashi to a small hillside.

"It's here."

Parker stopped and said in a low voice.

Kakashi also stopped, looked around, and found nothing strange.

"Parker, there's nothing here."

"Kakashi, look at that boulder." Parker said and pointed somewhere.

Kakashi heard the words and looked, it was indeed a big stone, and it looked very old, with some moss on it.

That is……

Kakashi suddenly stared and walked towards the stone.

I saw a stele-like thing engraved on the bottom of the stone.

Near the stone, weeds were overgrown, but the stone tablet looked very clean, but the words on it became a little unclear after being eroded by the years.

Kakashi squatted down and saw a small pit in front of the stele, with some remaining ashes on it, which should be the remains of other parts of the previous piece of paper.

"The piece of paper came from here, so someone came here to sacrifice. Is this stone tablet a tombstone?"

Out of curiosity, Kakashi gently brushed the stone tablet with his right hand, and in an instant, a familiar feeling filled his heart.

This handwriting is...

The original memory began to hit the brain, Kakashi patted his head, and suddenly remembered.

This is... Father's handwriting!

Kakashi suddenly woke up, the handwriting engraved on this stone was clearly written by Sakumo Hatake!
Is this carved by my father?

With a huge shock in his heart, Kakashi's right hand chakra surged, wiping away the dust on the stele, and also erasing the traces of years of erosion.

At this time, Kakashi finally saw the vague words on the stele!

"The grave of my beloved wife Hatake Ayako!"

Hatake?Ayako?
Could this be his mother's tomb?
For some reason, Kakashi suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if another force was driving him.

"How is this going?"

"Kakashi? Are you okay?" Parker asked quickly when he saw that something was wrong with Kakashi.

"No... nothing."

Kakashi quickly suppressed the discomfort in his heart and dispelled the inexplicable sadness.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here? Where is this?"

Seeing that Kakashi didn't want to say anything, Parker didn't ask any more questions, but asked another question.

"It's nothing, this is Uzumaki Hidden Village, I'm here to investigate some things."

"So that's it. If there's nothing else to do, I'll go first."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Parker."

With a bang, Parker disappeared again.

And Kakashi didn't care, and continued to look at the stone tablet.

In Kakashi's memory, Hatake Sakumo did not tell his mother's name.

But what Kakashi can be sure of is that there is no one named Hatake Ayako in the Hatake family.

So, who is Hatake Ayako engraved on this stele?
In this kind of place, there seems to be only one possibility, and that is his mother who has never met.

Just, why did mother die in such a place?

At that time, my father was probably already a shadow-level powerhouse, so why did he not return to the village?

According to his father's mission report at the time, it was said that he had encountered a strong enemy, so he was seriously injured.

Only after recovering from the injury can he return to the village.

During this period, he met a woman and Kakashi was born.

Just what kind of person would seriously injure even the famous Konoha Baiya?
Unbelievable.

Kakashi stroked the tombstone lightly, feeling a sense of intimacy spontaneously.

At this moment, Kakashi was somewhat certain that this might be his mother's tombstone.

The intuition of the strong has always been inexplicably accurate.

Kakashi has also developed a terrible intuition over the years.

This kind of thing is so unreasonable, but it really exists.

Kakashi touched the ashes in the pit and sniffed gently with the tip of his nose.

Of course, Kakashi didn't have such a good sense of smell as Parker, but in the ashes, Kakashi smelled a strange smell.

"This ashes should be the leftovers from the burning of the colorful boats. It's strange that there is a faint fragrance in the ashes."

Kakashi took out the piece of paper he saw just now, put it on his nose and sniffed it. It seemed that he also had the same smell, but it was much weaker.

Kakashi frowned slightly. For some reason, this smell felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

There are actually people offering sacrifices in this place, which means that the person offering sacrifices must have some kind of close relationship with the person whose name is engraved on the tombstone, otherwise, there is no need to do so.

Could it be the relatives of the mother?

That was the only explanation Kakashi could think of.

If it is a friend, it has been more than 20 years, and they can still come to sacrifice, in this cruel world, it is a little too warm.

What's more, it's still in such a place.

Whirlpool Hidden Village, even if it is now in ruins, is definitely not a good place.

And if you can come to pay homage, it must not be too far from here.

Judging from the condition of the tombstone here, people should come here often, and it doesn't look like it has been abandoned for 20 years.

Since there is such a person, Kakashi will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Perhaps what Kakashi wanted to know could only be known from that person's mouth.

After all, when investigating this kind of thing, any clues are not as accurate as a living person.

Kakashi touched his head, waiting for a rabbit?

Although the method is a bit stupid, but at present, it seems to be the only way.

There is nothing here except for these ashes. Even if someone came, the smell would have disappeared after so many days.

It was extremely difficult for Parker to find this place just now. If it weren't for the strong smell of the colored boat paper itself, it might not be successful.

It is really unrealistic to let it track a taste from a few days ago.

But if you sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, it seems that the time spent will not be short.

Generally speaking, once a year is enough for sacrifices. Does Kakashi have to wait here for a year?

This time span was too great for Kakashi to afford to waste.

"Damn it, isn't there a better way?"

Kakashi lamented, this trip was really not smooth from beginning to end.

Standing up, Kakashi touched his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Kakashi looked in one direction.

"Anyone here?"

Kakashi was slightly surprised that someone actually came to this kind of place, and it felt like this.

He is a ninja, and his strength is not weak.

This breath...

Kakashi's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "How could it be her? What is she doing here?"

Beyond the water flow in the whirlpool valley, a figure stood aside.

"Is this the ruins of the Uzumaki family in the legend? This defense mechanism is quite interesting."

A captivating smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and the girl made seals with her hands!
