Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 846: Hachibi's Jinchuriki Disappearance

‘So strong!’

‘Captain is so strong!!’

Itachi, who was watching the battle from the shadows, stared closely at Kanpū’s figure. On his face, which had been expressionless for years, there was now a look of shock.

Seeing Kanpū was able to compete with Yondaime Raikage, who had activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, to such an extent, and even faintly gain the upper hand, Itachi's worldview was almost overturned by Kanpū.

“…Let’s talk.” Kanpū’s voice pulled Itachi’s mind back.

‘He wanted to negotiate…’ Itachi quickly hid himself even more secretly, afraid that if their negotiation didn't go well, they would end up fighting again. At that time, the now calm Yondaime Raikage might notice his presence!

Although Itachi couldn't assist Kanpū in this battle, he also didn't want to cause him trouble.

“At this point, what else do we have to talk about!”

Yondaime Raikage snorted coldly, with an unhappy expression on his face, but the lightning armor on his body slowly dissipated, leaving only a thin layer to cover his body.

‘Although you said don’t want it, your body is still very honest…’ Kanpū chuckled in his heart, but his face showed a hint of sincerity as he solemnly asked: “Of course, there is something to discuss! Yondaime Raikage-dono, please tell us the reason why you personally leading the Kumogakure’s army and appeared here!”

“Reason?”

Yondaime Raikage’s eyes glared at Kanpū and he said angrily with a snort, “Hmph, of course it’s because of the good deeds done by you Konoha!”

“Yondaime Raikage, which good deeds are you referring to?” Kanpū asked without shame.

“…” There was a rumble from Yondaime Raikage’s body, and the lightning armor suddenly surged again.

“Yondaime Raikage-dono, please calm down.” Kanpū said sincerely, “I really don’t know!”

“My brother, Killer B!” Yondaime Raikage roared angrily.

“Killer B?”

Kanpū asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with him?”

“He was kidnapped by your Konoha’s Shinobi!” Yondaime Raikage clenched his fists, and the lightning armor on his body crackled. At this moment, his momentum can be described in one word: Thick!

“Impossible!”

Kanpū firmly denied the accusation without hesitation.

But deep down, he was skeptical, because he knew that Minato had set a grand plan to capture all the nine Biju and unify the Shinobi World, bringing peace to everyone in this world. Moreover, this plan had already been implemented, and currently, Sanbi’s Jinchuriki and Yonbi’s Jinchuriki are already in Konoha!

So, the probability of Minato secretly captured Hachibi’s Jinchuriki, Killer B, is high!

Even so, Kanpū said with righteousness: “I swear on the honor of my clan, Konoha would never do such a thing!”

“I don’t believe in what you say!” Yondaime Raikage roared angrily, “Unless you Konoha open your door and let me investigate thoroughly!!”

“I can only refuse such unreasonable requests right now!” Kanpū said with a snort.

“Then, I will personally lead my army into Konoha!” Yondaime Raikage said with a malicious smile.

‘Just relying on you?’

Kanpū chuckled softly and said: “Yondaime Raikage-dono, are you dreaming? During the Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and your Kumogakure invaded our Konoha one after another, but what was the result? I don’t need to say more, right? Moreover, Sunagakure has allied with Konoha now, and Iwagakure has an old grudge against you. As for Kirigakure, last time we held the Joint Chunin Exams in Konoha, Kirigakure also sent their people to participate, do you know what that means?”

Yondaime Raikage trembled, and he said angrily: “So what? Would my Kumogakure be afraid?!”

‘I don't know if you're afraid, but I know that many people from your Kumogakure would die.’

Kanpū knew that there would be no results from further discussion, so he changed the subject and asked about the Konoha’s Shinobi who came here to negotiate a few days ago.

“They are dead.” Yondaime Raikage sneered and threw out a scroll, then said, “Go back and tell Yondaime Hokage not to let anyone who overestimate their capabilities appear in front of me, or they'll die!”

‘You are really arrogant!’

Kanpū took the scroll and showed killing-intent, but ultimately restrained himself.

“Itachi, let’s go.” Kanpū said.

“Yes.” Itachi, who had been hiding all this time, finally emerged and quickly arrived behind Kanpū.

Yondaime Raikage’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking about whether he could catch Itachi now.

But Kanpū didn’t give him a chance. He grabs Itachi’s wrist, and uses Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear directly.

…

Two or three seconds later, Kanpū had already returned with Itachi to the border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire.

“Captain, is Killer B important to Kumogakure?” Itachi asked after confirming that they are completely out of danger.

“Killer B is Kumogakure’s Hachibi’s Jinchuriki.” Kanpū explained as he pulled out his diary book, embellishing the process of this mission with great enthusiasm, emphasizing his solo adventure into dangerous territories and his great achievements in battling formidable foes!

That’s how a serious person should write a diary!

“Jinchuriki?”

Itachi’s face changed slightly, ‘No wonder Yondaime Raikage personally led his army to the Land of Fire.’

For all Great Shinobi Villages, Biju are strategic weapons akin to nuclear bombs, and they were of utmost importance!

With Hachibi’s Jinchuriki missing, it would be strange if Kumogakure isn’t anxious!

“That…” Itachi hesitated and glanced at Kanpū, who is still busy writing in his diary. He didn't know if he should continue asking.

Kanpū guessed what he wanted to ask, but at this moment, he was writing…No, he wanted to know the answer himself.

Actually speaking, given Kanpū’s position in Konoha and Minato’s heart, if the latter really finds a chance to capture Hachibi’s Jinchuriki, he will be notified more or less, but in reality, he didn't receive any news.

‘Does he no longer love me?’

Kanpū’s heart sank, and he couldn't concentrate on writing his diary anymore!

After finishing writing in the diary, the two of them, burdened with heavy thoughts, headed towards the temporary camp. They hadn't gone far when they were surrounded by a large group of Kikaichu.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! ……

The insects, which blocked out the sky, quickly gathered in mid-air, revealing the figure of Shikuro.

“Kanpū, have you found out the cause of Kumogakure’s abnormal movement?” Shikuro asked directly.

“It has been found out. The reason for Kumogakure’s abnormal movement is the disappearance of the Hachibi’s Jinchuriki, Killer B. Yondaime Raikage suspected that it was done by our Konoha, so he personally led his army and prepared to invade Konoha to rescue Killer B.” Kanpū said.

“Yondaime Raikage is also in Yugakure?” Shikuro’s voice sank. He knew this is a very tough opponent!

Kanpū nodded heavily: “Yes, I even fought against him for a while. The other party is really strong, he almost caught up with me!”

Shikuro subconsciously nodded in agreement, but immediately after realizing what Kanpū said, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Unfortunately, others couldn't see it because he is wearing sunglasses.

Shikuro helplessly asked about another matter: “What about the people I sent to the Land of Hot Water earlier?”

“Sorry, they were already killed when I arrived.” Kanpū said, taking out a scroll containing the bodies of their comrades.

Shikuro sighed and said after taking the scroll: “I will send the information back to the village, Kanpū, thank you for your hard work.”

……

Yugakure’s administrative building, conference room.

After seeing Yondaime Raikage returned from the village’s entrance, several Kumogakure’s higher-ups could not help but say: “Yondaime-sama, I heard that there are Konoha’s Shinobi coming here again? And they killed many of our people?”

“Konoha’s Shinobi, who underestimate their own abilities, no matter how many come, they're just asking for death!”

“It's not necessarily the case.”

Yondaime Raikage looked deeply at the Kumogakure’s higher-up who spoke, suppressing his anger and asked, “Elder Iyun, tell me the information about Gekko Kanpū!”

“Gekko Kanpū?”

Elder Iyun pondered for a moment and said, “He is Gekko Clan’s Clan Head, also known as Gekko Nigeru. He is proficient in Five-Attributes Ninjutsu and Konoha-Style Kenjutsu. He has the Transparent Release Kekkei Genkai, which allows him to become invisible. He is a quite a troublesome Shinobi.”

“Quite troublesome? Is it just that?” Yondaime Raikage stared at him intensely, and his eyes seemed to exude a sense of oppression.

Elder Iyun felt immense pressure inexplicably. Cold dripped down his back, but he forced himself to remain calm, then he nodded slightly: “This is the information sent back from Konoha. What’s the matter? Was the person outside just now Gekko Kanpū?”

“Yes, it’s him!” Yondaime Raikage still stared at him.

“Then, he should have died in Yondaime-sama’s hands, right?” Another Kumogakure’s higher-up asked.

“No! I can’t kill him!” Yondaime Raikage shook his head gravely.

“How is it possible?” Elder Iyun was full of shock and wondered whether Yondaime Raikage had held back.

But immediately, he shook his head, ‘If Yondaime-sama let Gekko Kanpū escape because he held back, why would he ask for information about Gekko Kanpū from me?’

‘Obviously, it must be because Gekko Kanpū is so powerful that even Yondaime-sama can’t stop him, so…’

Thinking to this, Elder Iyun’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“It seems that you are not stupid.”

Seeing his reaction, Yondaime Raikage knew that he had guessed it, so he snorted angrily, “When I fought Gekko Kanpū, we’re fighting in close combat, and then he used Chakra Enhanced Strength, Flying Thunder God Technique, and he also possessed the Kusanagi Sword. His speed, his reflex, his strength, all of them were not inferior to Yellow Flash! Elder Iyun, why don’t you tell me what's going on? How did Konoha create a second Yellow Flash and nobody knew about it!!”

“Flying Thunder God Technique?”

“How is it possible? A second Shinobi that can use Flying Thunder God Technique actually appeared in Konoha?”

“Is this a joke?!”

Several Kumogakure’s higher-ups were surprised and angry. As for one Elder Iyun, he became even more depressed.

‘You ask me, then who should I ask?’

‘I'm just a middle-aged bald man sitting in the office responsible for organizing and sorting out intelligence. The specific intelligence gathering is done by the spies undercover in Konoha. Just ask them, why are you asking me?!

Elder Iyun felt a thousand grievances in his heart, but in the face of the furious Yondaime Raikage, he dared not say a word of retort, and apologized humbly: “Yondaime-sama, I’m sorry, it's my fault!”

Yondaime Raikage said coldly: “Then go quickly and collect all the information about Gekko Kanpū!!”

“Yes!”

Elder Iyun replied loudly.
