Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 762: Name Your Price

Countless paper pieces, like dandruff in the sunlight, fell from the towering trees, covering the ground with almost no place to step.

“Paper?” Tenzo frowned as he looked at the paper scattered all around. ‘Is this a prank or an attack?’

‘Why did they attack with paper?’

Tenzo was puzzled.

“Be on guard! The newcomer is not friendly!” Kanpū’s shadow clone coldly shouted.

When he saw these pieces of paper, the first thing that came to his mind was that purple-haired figure.

However…

‘This is Konoha’s 56th year, Naruto and the others haven’t graduated yet, so why would Konan come this close to Konoha?’

‘Is this Akatsuki planning to attack Konoha in advance, or…’

“Konan!”

At this moment, Shisui stepped forward, removed his mask straightforwardly, and said, “I know it’s you, come out!”

Rustle……

In an instant, the countless paper pieces in the air converged to form a delicate and pretty figure.

This person has beautiful purple hair, wore a red and black windbreaker with red cloud patterns, and behind her were a pair of massive paper wings. With a cold demeanor, she looked down on them like an angel.

“Brother Shisui, who is she?” Itachi quickly stepped forward and stood beside Shisui. With a guarded look, he has a kunai in his hand as he pointed to Konan in the sky.

The other extras also acted swiftly, quickly spreading out in a semi-circular formation around Konan.

“She’s Konan, who is good at Paper Ninjutsu, and is the partner of Akatsuki’s leader, Pain.” Shisui said condensedly.

‘While Konan's Paper Ninjutsu was mysterious, what was more frightening was her partner, Pain!’

‘That pair of Rinnegan…’

Shisui squinted his eyes and looked at Kanpū next to him, ‘With him here, we should be safe, right?’

“Akatsuki?” Itachi’s eyes flickered: ‘Could it be the Missing-nin organization that Brother Shisui went undercover?’

‘Then, this Konan came for Brother Shisui. She must be here for revenge!’

Thinking of this, Itachi held the kunai in his hand even tighter.

As for the rest of the team, there is not much reaction.

Although they are Anbu, Akatsuki’s existence is still confidential, and their authority is obviously not enough to know this.

“Extra words are unnecessary.”

Konan spoke, “Shisui, I have something to ask you. Come with me.”

As she spoke, her paper wings fluttered, and she shot towards the left like an arrow leaving the string. Wherever she passed, the branches and leaves of the trees were cut into pieces by the paper pieces on her body!

“It looks very sharp!” Tenzo was shocked, “Brother Kanpū, what should we do?”

Shisui, Itachi and the other extras are also looked at Kanpū’s shadow clone.

Kanpū’s shadow clone shrugged and said: “Act as if you didn't see anything and continue on the way.”

As he said that, he started galloping forward again.

The others looked at each other, but since their captain had given the order, they had no choice but to follow.

Shisui took a deep breath and, along with Itachi on one side and others on the other, continued to go to Konoha.

After flying forward for a minute, Konan sensed that something was wrong. It was too quiet behind her.

She turned back and found that… there was no one behind her?

‘Shisui didn’t even follow me?’

Konan’s calm face showed some dissatisfaction, then, with a flap of her wings, she quickly flew towards Kanpū’s group’s location.

A few minutes later, another paper rain blocked sixth team’s way again.

“Haven't you had enough, Konan!” Kanpū’s shadow clone coldly shouted.

“Who are you?” Konan’s figure emerged from the paper rain, still with that otherworldly appearance.

‘Did she forget?’

‘It seems that the main body really doesn’t have any sense of existence.’

Kanpū’s shadow clone snorted and said: “During the Third Shinobi World War, you and Yahiko once came to Konoha’s great camp to seek an audience with Orochimaru, naively hoping to achieve peace through dialogue. Have you forgotten it. Konan?”

While saying that, Kanpū’s shadow clone took off his imposing wolf mask!

“It’s you!”

Konan stared at Kanpū’s shadow clone closely, “Gekko Kanpū!”

The first time Konan and Yahiko met Kanpū, Kanpū was just a ‘corpse keeper’ guarding the remains of his companions in the Konoha’s great camp. Of course, at that time, they and Akatsuki were also just insignificant little characters on the battlefield.

After so many years, with Yahiko's death and Akatsuki changing its direction, Konan and Nagato continued to grow, and the guy in front of her also grew rapidly.

In the past few years, Konan has heard this man’s information from various sources such as Obito, Zetsu, Orochimaru, Sasori and the others. And without exception, every time he is mentioned, it is done with extreme caution!

Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, Five-Attributes Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, and even the Sage Mode from Ryuchi Cave have all been mastered by him. The terrifying power of Gekko Kanpū is definitely not inferior to the Yellow Flash!

‘I’m a bit reckless!’

Konan maintained her cold and aloof appearance, but her heart was already on high alert.

“I'm here for Shisui, it has nothing to do with you.” Konan said indifferently.

Although her tone remained the same, there was already a hint of softness.

“Nothing to do with me?”

Kanpū’s shadow clone chuckled softly and said, “During the mission, he was my subordinate, and outside the mission, he is my best friend from the same grade. Konan, I advise you to get out of the Land of Fire before I get angry!”

The art of language, this statement not only expressed the bond between him and Shisui, but forcefully maintained his authority. It can be said to be a textbook-level classic dialogue. At this point, his subordinates, who were standing nearby, were already looking at him with those big watery eyes.

‘Great!’

Itachi looked Kanpū, feeling joyful in his heart, ‘Akatsuki intends to retaliate against Brother Shisui. Fortunately, Captain Kanpū took the initiative to take on the responsibility, so Brother Shisui is safe now!’

(*￣︶￣)

In midair, Konan looked at Kanpū expressionlessly, but the vibration of the paper wings behind her became louder and louder.

Kanpū’s shadow clone is also on high alert. If anything went wrong, he would immediately disperse and notify the main body.

Since he’s done acting tough, he can let the main body carry the blame now.

‘Well, there will be no problem.’

At the crucial moment, Shisui stepped forward and said: “Kanpū, I want to hear what Konan wants to say.”

“Brother Shisui!”

Itachi became anxious and wanted to say something, but Shisui waved his hand to interrupt him, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Saying that, Shisui walked towards the side.

Konan glanced at Kanpū, and seeing that he had no extra movements, she slowly descended.

“Shisui.”

After Konan landed on the ground, she looked at Shisui with cold eyes, and asked, “I want to know information about Uchiha Obito.”

“Eh?” Shisui was stunned, “What do you mean?”

“Name your price.” Konan didn't want to waste time.

Although Konan’s wealth at this time was far from reaching the level in the later part of the original work, she could still easily defeat a thousand 1,000 Shisui.

“Sorry, information about Uchiha Obito is a village’s secret, I can’t disclose it.” Shisui refused immediately when he saw her being so overbearing.

Konan’s eyelids drooped slightly, and the paper wings behind her began to stir restlessly.

Shisui opened his eyes, and the black pupils had turned into the scarlet Sharingan.

“Konan, with just you alone, there is no chance of winning.” Shisui cautiously probed.

‘Is the leader, Pain, nearby or not?’
