Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 758: Brainwashing

After bringing Karin home, Kanpū couldn’t wait to use Sage Mode and climbed along the network cable to the corner of the eastern coastal area of ​​the Land of Fire.

Kimimaro is placed here by him, and Ōmadara is responsible for guarding him!

Kanpū, navigating through twists and turns, finally arrived at a steep cliff facing the sea. Below the cliff, there were numerous rugged rocks covered with moss and lichen, with waves crashing against them.

Climbing down the cliff, Kanpū saw a cave near the bottom of the cliff. His figure swiftly entered the cave.

The cave is not big, only about five meters deep. At the end of the cave, Kimimaro is lying on a bed of hay, while Ōmadara is leaning against the cave wall, yawning while looking at him: “You're here, old buddy?”

“Who's your old buddy?” Kanpū kicked towards him.

Ōmadara quickly dodged to the side, giving him a strange smile.

Kanpū didn’t bother to pay attention to him, then squatted next to Kimimaro, and asked: “Is he asleep?”

“It was my Genjutsu.” Ōmadara said lightly.

In fact, apart from eating Food Pills and drinking water, Ōmadara has been using Genjutsu to control Kimimaro to prevent him from causing trouble.

Kanpū nodded, then instructed Ōmadara to lift Kimimaro’s eyelids, and then, he formed hand seals with both hands and said: “Secret Technique -Mind Reading Technique!”

Kanpū’s Spiritual Energy, supported by Chakra, quickly transformed into a strange wave and transmitted to Kimimaro’s lifeless eyes.

In the next instant, Kanpū seemed to see many chaotic images emerging in front of him, which seemed to be Kimimaro’s memory, but the images flashed too quickly, so Kanpū could not see clearly.

After all, this is the first time he used this technique.

Taking a deep breath, Kanpū continued!

“Secret Technique -Mind Reading Technique!”

‘Huh, failed again?’

‘No problem.’

“Secret Technique -Mind Reading Technique!”

“Secret Technique -Mind Reading Technique!”

……

Land of Rice Fields.

Orochimaru, wearing a kimono, with long straight black hair, golden vertical pupils, and fair skin, slowly walked out from a deep forest.

In this forest, there’s an underground base Orochimaru had established, but just now, Orochimaru had personally destroyed it. Moreover, he killed over ten subordinates who guarded the base.

Orochimaru looked toward the coastal area of the Land of Rice Fields, muttering to himself: “Only one left.”

The last base that Kimimaro knows about is the northern island’s base.

The people on that island, besides Jugo, who still had some value, would be killed by him too.

Orochimaru leaped lightly, flicking his hands as he swiftly headed towards the northern island’s base.

……

In the cave.

After countless attempts of using the Mind Reading Technique, Kanpū finally grasped the trick and successfully extracted the ‘images’ from Kimimaro’s mind.

These images could be roughly divided into two parts. One part depicted his childhood, when being trained as a weapon of war by the clan. And the other part showed him running around Shinobi World with Orochimaru.

Kimimaro’s clan was wiped out as early as when Yondaime Mizukage reign, so Kanpū didn’t look much at the first half of the picture, and the focus is on the latter.

‘Huh?’

Kanpū suddenly ‘sees’ a very familiar figure.

‘Libra Jugo?’

‘Interesting!’

Meanwhile, looking at Kimimaro who foamed at the mouth, Ōmadara sighed silently, feeling a bit remorseful.

After a while, Kanpū finally stopped.

“How is it? Are there any gains?” Ōmadara asked.

“I found many of Orochimaru's bases!”

While saying so, Kanpū creates a shadow clone, and then punched him, causing the memories about Orochimaru’s bases to be transmitted to all the clones instantly.

Ōmadara naturally received the memory as well, and couldn’t help but laugh: “Orochimaru is in trouble now.”

“The worse has yet to come.”

Kanpū took out a piece of paper and was about to spread it out to ‘brainwash’ Kimimaro, only to find that the cave was too small for this, so he turned to Ōmadara and said, “Bring Kimimaro out.”

As he said that, he flickered and disappeared.

Ōmadara immediately picked up Kimimaro, who was foaming at the mouth, and followed closely from behind.

The group of three then came to an open area on the cliff. Kanpū unfolded the paper in his hand, revealing several square meters of densely written Fuinjutsu’s runes.

“Place him in the middle.” Kanpū instructed solemnly.

“Understood.” Ōmadara carefully carried Kimimaro to the center and gently laid him down, fearing that he might damage the paper.

“Okay.”

Kanpū breathed a sigh of relief, then approached the paper, formed the ‘Ram’ seal with his hands, and activated the Fuinjutsu on the paper, “Seal!”

In the next moment, a hazy light emanated from the runes on the paper, gradually enveloping Kimimaro’s body.

As the light dissipated, Kimimaro lay silently on… ‘Uh, a blank paper?’

At this moment, Kanpū’s face turned green.

‘What the hell!!! Why did the Fuinjutsu’s runes disappear?’

‘Minato mentioned that the Chakra on the paper was only enough for a one-time Memory Seal Technique, but he didn't say the Fuinjutsu’s runes on it would disappear after use!’

Kanpū thought about brainwashing Kimimaro first, before slowly takes his time to collect the Fuinjutsu on the paper, but now…

‘What a waste!’

Kanpū is depressed.

“Kimimaro, Kimimaro.” Ōmadara, who didn’t have as many elaborate thoughts as Kanpū, walked over and patted Kimimaro’s face.

After a while, Kimimaro opened his eyes, his eyes are somewhat vacant and dull.

‘Who am I?’

‘Where am I?’

‘What am I doing?’

Kimimaro looked blankly at the azure sky for quite a while before slowly propping himself up on his arms. Then, he saw Kanpū and Ōmadara.

However, the current Kimimaro has completely lost the memories of these two people.

Of course, he also has no memory of Orochimaru, Kaguya Clan, or anything about his past.

Kimimaro was like the white paper under him, a blank slate.

“Kimimaro, what happened to you, Kimimaro!”

Ōmadara knew that the Fuinjutsu worked, so he immediately acted, pretending to be distraught. He grabbed Jiraiya's hands and, with teary eyes, said, “It’s me, your father… Uh, your big brother!!”

“Big brother?” Kimimaro tilted his head and looked at him, then shook his head, “I can't remember.”

“How could this happen? Why?!!!” Ōmadara trembled all over, showing a grief-stricken posture that couldn't accept this cruel reality.

Kimimaro looked at him in a daze, and because he has no memory and can’t remember anything, he doesn’t think it’s strange.

At this time, Kanpū, who was next to him, also picked up his mood and said: “Kimimaro, what made you look like this is the evil of Shinobi World, Orochimaru!”

Kanpū stared closely at Kimimaro’s facial expression.

“The evil of Shinobi World? Orochimaru?” Kimimaro looked stupidly at Kanpū, “Who is it?”

Kanpū and Uchiha Ōmadara glance at each other, each relaxed.

‘Then, it’s time to replenish your brain!’

At the same time.

In the underground base beneath the frozen soil of the Land of Iron, Kanpū’s shadow clone disguised themselves and set off one after another. Their target is the various Orochimaru’s bases in Kimimaro’s mind!

At the same time, on the sea of the Land of Iron, a large ship swiftly turned around, riding the wind and waves as it sails towards the Orochimaru's northern island base!
