Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Land of Water, Kirigakure.

In the Kirigakure’s office.

Elder Genji sat back on a soft sofa, while a female Kirigakure’s Shinobi was massaging his legs to promote blood circulation. (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.)

Knock knock knock!

A light knock came from outside the office, “Genji-sama, the messenger from Konoha is here.”

“Let them in.” Genji said with his eyes closed.

“Yes!”

Creak.

As the office door opened, a Shinobi wearing a Konoha’s forehead protector strode in: “Greetings, Genji-sama.”

“This is a letter from Hokage-sama.” The Konoha’s messenger said, pulling out a letter and handing it over.

Genji had the female Shinobi read it aloud softly. Then, after listening, he shook his head sadly and said: “I am old and have limited mobility. Please convey my gratitude to Yondaime Hokage for his kindness.”

“This… I understand.” The Konoha’s messenger nodded.

“Don’t worry, since Yondaime Hokage has extended such a gracious invitation, even if I cannot go, I will send my trusted aide, Gonbee, to represent me fully.” Genki said again.

“I understand!” The Konoha’s messenger acknowledged before turning to leave.

……

Land of Wind.

The wind howled and the sky is full of sand.

Yondaime Kazekage, Rasa, stood on the tall earthen walls at the outskirts of Sunagakure, calmly looking at the sandstorm covering the earth dozens of kilometers away.

The sandstorm, like a tidal wave, swept every grain of sand towards the deeper parts of the Land of Wind.

‘A single grain of sand is insignificant, but when the power of every grain is combined, it can form an unstoppable sandstorm that sweeps across the world…’ Rasa pondered life as he watched the storm. In that moment, he felt a surge of pride, as if the whole world was at his feet!

“Kazekage-sama, someone from Konoha has arrived.” Suddenly, a Sunagakure’s Anbu appeared from behind.

‘It’s finally here…’ A sharp gleam flashed in Rasa's eyes, and he said, “Bring them to me.”

“Yes!”

In no time, the Sunagakure’s Anbu brought in a Shinobi wearing a Konoha’s forehead protector.

“Greetings, Yondaime Kazekage-sama.”

The Konoha’s messenger is not long-winded. He wants to complete the mission quickly, so he took out a letter and got straight to the point, “This is a letter from Hokage-sama. Please have a look.” Ṟ

Rasa took the letter and smiled after reading it, “Go back and tell Yondaime Hokage that I will go to Konoha on time to watch the final matches of the Chunin Exams.”

“I understand!” The Konoha’s messenger said before immediately taking his leave.

“Kazekage-sama, how many people will you take to Konoha this time?” Sunagakure’s Anbu asked.

Rasa said with a smile: “A small team will suffice.”

‘After all, those who needed to go have already gone ahead. As for the rest, just wait for the show to begin!’

Meanwhile…

At the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.

Orochimaru and Obito quietly crossed the border and arrived at a rocky area. This is the only way from Sunagakure to the Land of Fire.

“Orochimaru, why are we here?” Obito asked in doubts.

“To ambush Yondaime Kazekage, Rasa.” Orochimaru said with a smile.

“Isn’t he our ally?” A dark glint flashed in Obito's eyes.

“Ally? Such things are meant to be betrayed.” Orochimaru chuckled, then took out the last vial of Hashirama’s cells and injected it directly into his heart. The surge of vitality instantly swept through his body, and a terrifying power erupted from within him.

‘Wood Release… I can feel it!’

Orochimaru's eyes shone with excitement, and his whole body trembled with exhilaration!

…

Time passed, and with only ten days left until the final matched of the Chūnin Exams, Rasa set off with a team of Anbu.

However, before they could leave the Land of Wind, they encountered an ‘unexpected event’!

In the rugged rocky terrain, Rasa and ten Sunagakure’s Anbu sprinted swiftly. Suddenly, an invisible spiral ripple emerged from the void.

“Watch out, Kazekage-sama!” An Anbu flickered to in front of Rasa.

The other Anbu immediately took action, forming a protective circle around Rasa and watching the spiral ripple warily.

In the next second, two twisted black shadows suddenly emerged from the spiral ripple.

‘Space-Time Ninjutsu?’

‘Two people?’

Rasa frowned, ‘Could it be Yellow Flash and Gekko Kanpū?’

‘No!’

‘Flying Thunder God Technique relies on space-time coordinates for teleportation, but how could there be a Flying Thunder God’s coordinate in the air?’

Rasa focused his gaze and saw the two black shadows float down like leaves after they appeared. Their black cloaks fluttered, revealing Orochimaru and a mysterious figure wearing an orange mask!

“Orochimaru?”

Rasa faintly noticed that something was amiss, “Why are you here?”

He looked at the masked man and noticed his right eye was scarlet!

‘Konoha’s Kekkei Genkai, Sharingan?’

‘How can Orochimaru have a relationship with the Uchiha Clan?’

Immediately after, a thought flashed through Rasa’s mind, ‘Is he Konoha’s S-Rank Missing-nin, Uchiha Obito?’

“Kazekage-dono, we have both put in our utmost efforts for this Konoha Crush Plan, but… we still need one more thing.” Orochimaru said with a sinister smile.

Rasa looked at Orochimaru, “What is it?”

“We need your face.”

Orochimaru grinned, licking his lips excitedly, and said, “I need to disguise myself as you to get close to the Yellow Flash, and at the same time, I also need to borrow your Kekkei Genkai. Kazekage-dono, you wouldn't refuse, would you?”

Rasa’s expression grew darker, “Orochimaru, you are courting death!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sunagakure’s Anbu flickered towards Orochimaru, attacking him from all directions.

Orochimaru clenched his right fist, and a layer of steel-like blue-black color spread over his body

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Amidst the crisp sounds of metal clashing, Orochimaru walked towards Rasa step by step, withstanding the barrage of attacks. Kunai slashed at his throat, senbon pierced his chest, shuriken grazed his body, and even Explosive Tags exploded around him, engulfing him in flames!

“Uchiha Madara, I’ll leave these guys to you.” Orochimaru said with a smile.

“They're already dead.” Obito said sensibly, and the three tomoe in his eye spun rapidly, turning into a scythe-like pattern.

Mangekyo Sharingan!

The scarlet glow flashed, and one by one, the Mangekyo’s illusions imprinted into the minds of the Sunagakure’s Anbu.

In the Mangekyo Genjutsu, the Sunagakure Anbu couldn't help but turn on each other, and within moments, they all died in a bloody frenzy!

“Orochimaru, do you really think you can kill me with just the two of you?”

Rasa quickly closed his eyes to avoid Obito's genjutsu, and at the same time, he unleashed his Magnet Release, Immediately, gold dust poured out from beneath him, rising like a fountain and engulfing him in a flash.

“This is not good.” Obito said with a smile and closed Mangekyo, watching Orochimaru’s performance.

Orochimaru’s smile never faded as he said, “Kazekage-dono, your Kekkei Genkai will only reach its full potential in my hands!”

“Is that so? Then try it.” Rasa’s voice came from within the golden sand.

Immediately, the golden sandstorm swept towards Orochimaru.

“It’s useless.”

Orochimaru smiled slightly, then formed hand seals and slammed his hands onto the ground, “Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!!!”

Rasa, hidden in the gold dust, almost laughed out loud when he heard Orochimaru’s words.

‘Wood Release?’

‘Also Nativity of a World of Trees?’

‘Do you think you are Shodaime Hokage? If you want Nativity of a World of Trees, then Nativity of a World of Trees will appear?’

Boom…

With a tremendous roar, the rocky ground cracked open, revealing countless massive, menacing tree roots that surged out like dragons rising from the earth.
