The prince, who should be able to bring water to the land with his powers, has left for another village, chasing fantastical dreams of the Sixth Hokage. Kakashi tracks the prince down, and while coaching the next generation once again, he discovers a deeper plot has long been in the works that join his mission with Redaku’s fate.”

But there is a lot more to Kakashi’s story that has been left untold, and this book will be a look into that. Kakashi has not had a major role in the Naruto sequel. But we can expect the previous Hokage might soon join the battle.
