Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 744: A Brief Farewell

When they found Kanpū, the latter was in the sixth training ground. When he learned that Minato wanted to see him, he immediately handed over the heavy training stick to Shisui, and then left everyone behind, and rushed to the Hokage Tower at a flying speed.

“Hokage-sama.”

Kanpū greeted politely and meticulously as he entered the Hokage's Office

o(´^｀)o

He’s the Anbu’s team captain after all. His identity is different now, so he must pay attention to his words and deeds.

Minato was not polite to him, and told Kanpū about what happened in the Land of Wind’s border, and also told Kanpū all his own guesses.

After hearing this, Kanpū’s eyes flashed with surprise!

“So that’s how it is!”

‘No wonder Orochimaru knew about me joining Abyss, it turned out that he actually cooperated with Abyss!’

Moreover, one of them stole Hashirama’s cells from Root, and the other steals Impure World Reincarnation from Hokage Tower. They worked together in collusion and actually conspired to desecrate the soul of Shodaime Hokage!’

‘Unforgiveable!’

Kanpū is both surprised and angry, but thinking that if Minato knows the truth in the future, then no matter how realistic he acted at the moment, he would look like a clown in the future.

So he slowly put away his shock and sighed solemnly: “As expected of one of the Sannin. Orochimaru can actually find Abyss and cooperate with Abyss. He’s really not simple!”

“The organizational structure of Abyss is a one-line connection. For Orochimaru to be able to cooperate with Abyss, it should be because the leader of Abyss desperately wants to get Shodaime Hokage-sama’s Wood Release! But in any case, we must not let them desecrate the soul of Shodaime Hokage-sama!”

Minato asked solemnly, “Kanpū, can you find out who owns the Impure World Reincarnation of Shodaime Hokage-sama?!”

Kanpū hesitated: ‘Can I?’

‘It should be possible, right?’

“I’ll try my best!” Kanpū said solemnly.

Minato continued: “By the way, has there been any reply from Ryōshi Tenkū?”

‘Reply?’

‘What reply?’

Kanpū was a little confused, but his face is extremely steady. He recalled carefully, and finally remembered that Minato had mentioned to him about meeting the leader of Abyss.

After remembering it, he shook his head slightly and sighed: “Ryōshi Tenkū has not replied to me.”

Minato frowned slightly, but he also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so he had to suppress his unwillingness and said: “Notify me immediately if there is any news!”

“Yes!”

After coming down from Hokage Tower, Kanpū breathed a steady sigh of relief.

After using Nativity of a World of Trees to create the forest, Kanpū knew that the news could not be concealed, but fortunately, everything went as he expected, and the blame was thrown to Abyss.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, it’s enough as long as Minato believes it.

Kanpū looked at the sky and saw that it was almost lunch time, so he forgot about these trivial matters and his subordinates who were undergoing training, and turned around to find Mei to eat together.

Ichigo hot spring inn.

Since Danzo was imprisoned in Konoha Prison, the place has returned to its usual bustle. Although it's only noon, there are already many men and women coming to enjoy the hot spring.

Kanpū subconsciously avoided them and walked straight towards the back door.

In the small courtyard, Mei is writing a letter at the moment.

Elder Genji not only wrote a letter to Minato, but also wrote a letter to He first gave a simple greeting, and then urged her to work steadily and make Konoha admit to killing Yondaime Mizukage, and pay the compensation to Kirigakure for the loss, and finally asked about Sanbi’s whereabouts. (T/N: It seemed that I have mistranslate this elder name. In Naruto Wiki, his name is Genji, not Genki. Sorry about all the confusion before. I won’t fix his name in previous chapter, and use Genji as his name from now on.)

Mei took a pen and paper and carefully considered writing a reply. She told Genji that everything was fine in Konoha, but Yondaime Hokage was very cunning and only sent the Advisor, Sarutobi Hiruzen to negotiate with her. And Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed everything to Konoha’s Missing-nin, Hyuga Taki, determined that the matter had nothing to do with Konoha, and compensation was even more nonsense.

As for Sanbi’s whereabouts, she is also at a loss.

Finally, Mei wrote that there was a rebellion in Konoha and Advisor Danzo rebelled. Unfortunately, he failed in the end and did not bring substantial losses to Konoha, which was very regrettable.

After she finished writing, Mei folded the letter and put it in an envelope, and then called Ao to send it away.

When Ao walked out of the small courtyard, he happened to encounter Kanpū coming in from the back door.

“Gekko Kanpū, you are here…”

Aosubconsciously opened his mouth to ask what he was here for, and then realized, ‘What else could this smelly brat do here?’

He immediately changed his tune and said enthusiastically, “Hahaha, it’s getting late. Gekko Kanpū, do you want to have a meal together?”

Kanpū couldn’t be polite with Ao, so he immediately showed disgusted expression and said: “No way!”

“Don’t be like this!”

Ao walked over and hooked up with him, and then said, “Don’t we know each other? You should give me some face!”

Kanpū is so angry when he heard this, ‘This bastard has no good heart. I came here to find Mei to eat together. Now you jumped out and caused trouble. Do you think I’m scared of you!’

Kanpū pushed him away and said: “Ao, I have a business that I need to see Terumi Mei, please don’t hinder me!”

“Business?”

Ao said, “As the deputy leader Kirigakur’s envoys, I am absolutely qualified…”

Before he could finish his words, Kanpū had already abandoned him and ran into the small courtyard.

Ao’s face twitched slightly when he saw this. As the deputy leader, he also wants face, so he immediately turned around and followed him: “Hey, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Mei was in a normal mood today, and Kanpū finally took her to Ramen Ichiraku for a fragrant meal after talking it to her. During the period, Kanpū planned to use his silver tongue to pour a few bowls of chicken soup for the soul to Mei, warm her heart, and tell a few jokes to bring the two of them closer. Unfortunately, Ao followed behind them like a dog skin plaster. In order to prevent others from stealing his special skills, Kanpū had no choice but to behave himself.

After the meal, Kanpū sent Mei to Hokage Tower to negotiate, and then returned to the sixth training ground to take over.

……

Land of Iron’s coastal pier.

The Uchiha shadow clone, Ōmadara, who is responsible for searching the deserted islands on the sea, is currently hiring sailors.

Because he had no money on him (shadow clone has no money), Ōmadara had no choice but to go to the Land of Iron’s black market and complete a few missions before arriving here.

After renting a ship, hiring people, buying fresh vegetables, loading food and storing water, everything was finally ready after a long time!

Ōmadara stood on the railing at the tip of the ship. Facing wind and waves, he raised his hands to the side and shouted: “I am the man who will become the Pirate King! Boys, let’s go!!”

…

At the same time.

In a cave deep in a deserted island at Land of Rice Fields’s sea territory, two shadows are slowly walking out of the cave. It is Orochimaru and Kimimaro!

“Orochimaru-sama!”

When the guarding Shinobi hiding near the cave saw Orochimaru’s figure, they quickly jumped out and knelt down on one knee to greet him.

Orochimaru nodded to them coldly, and took Kimimaro to walk away with no emotion.

“Kimimaro!”

At this moment, Jugo ran out of the cave, “Kimimaro, where are you going? I’ll go with you!”

Orochimaru glanced sideways at Jugo, and smiled without saying a word.

Kimimaro turned around and shook his head: “Jugo, you can stay here for treatment with peace of mind. I will be back soon!”

“But…” Jugo stepped forward agitatedly. The reason why he came here for treatment is all because of Kimimaro. If Kimimaro is gone, what is the point of him staying here?

“Jugo, believe me, I am your prison, how can I ignore you?” Kimimaro looked at him with bright eyes, as if conveying something.

“Okay.”

Jugo nodded slightly.

Kimimaro smiled, then turned around and followed Orochimaru.

The sea breeze blew, ruffling Kimimaro’s shoulder-length white hair.

For some reason, Jugo had a strange feeling that he would be able to see Kimimaro again soon.

‘This is just a brief parting.’
