Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

The day after the successful transaction, Kanpū began to collect the Ninjutsu on the scroll.

Great Fire Annihilation… Failed!

Great Fire Destruction… Failed!

‘F**k!’

Kanpū was furious and chose a simple D-Rank Fireball Technique!

The green light cluster in his mind surged, and finally a light blue dot was ejected.

‘Damn, what a scam, I succeeded only once in three times!’

Kanpū gnashed his teeth, ticked a check before the Fireball Technique, and then rolled up the scroll.

Feeling the weight of the scroll, Kanpū really feels that he still has a long way to go at this moment.

‘Why don’t I… collect those strong men on the sealing scroll first?’

‘No, if they are discovered by others, I may not be able to keep those corpses.’

‘Let’s just collect the scroll first.’

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Kanpū went to monitor Orochimaru as Anbu as usual.

Then, three days passed in a flash.

The fourth day.

Hokage Tower.

Danzō walked straight to Hiruzen’s Office.

“Hiruzen, I have something important to look for you!” Danzō said arrogantly.

“What’s the matter?” Hiruzen put down the document in his hand, looked up and asked.

“I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you are already getting older and older.” Danzō slowly approached, looking Hiruzen’s mottled temples with a complicated light in his one eye.

“Say your business.” Hiruzen said with a snort.

“It’s information about Orochimaru!”

Danzō restrained his emotions and said solemnly, “I think you will be interested.”

Hiruzen’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

Not long after the Battle of Kikyō Pass ended, Hiruzen suspected that Orochimaru and Danzō were jointly conducting those human experiments through the clues, so he dispatched Anbu to monitor Orochimaru. Although the results of recent surveillance showed that Orochimaru did not have any suspicious actions, but…

‘If nothing else, what Danzō wants to talk about must be related to this matter!’

Seeing that Hiruzen was silent, Danzō continued talking.

“Hiruzen, you… send Anbu to monitor Orochimaru!” Danzō said directly.

“So what?” Hiruzen said and thought in his heart: ‘Sure enough!’

“Then, do you know about your Anbu and Orochimaru’s transaction?” Danzō said condensedly.

“Transaction? What transaction?” Hiruzen’s expression changed slightly.

Seeing Hiruzen’s expression changed, Danzō couldn’t help but smile, and said: “I vaguely sensed the existence of the transaction. As for the object and content of the transaction, hehehe, Hiruzen, you would be able to find it out soon.”

Hiruzen’s expression sank, and he felt that Danzō is digging a hole for him again!

The purpose, of course, is to sow discord!

‘Among the wild team, only Kanpū is worthy of Danzō’s great effort. After all, it is not just a day or two for Danzō to pull Kanpū into the Root’

Hiruzen remains calm, and said with hesitation on his face: “Is it… Kanpū?”

“This requires you to investigate it yourself.”

Danzō smiled slightly, then changed the subject “But Hiruzen, your Anbu is now mixed with good and bad apples, plus you’re so busy now, so why not leave it to me, I will help you train Anbu, how about it?”

“No need.”

Hiruzen said with a snort, “You can just take care of your Root!”

“In that case, then I’ll take my leave first.” Danzō turned and left.

Hiruzen didn’t want to pay attention to Danzō’s words, so he immersed himself in processing documents, but Danzō’s words were like a thorn stuck in Hiruzen’s throat, he’s unable to spit out or swallow it, it is very annoying!

“Call Eagle!” Hiruzen raised his head.

“Yes!”

In the shadow, an Anbu responded respectfully, and then disappeared instantly.

About half an hour later, the Anbu Commander, an Anbu wearing an eagle mask suddenly appeared in the office.

“Hokage-sama, you call me.” Eagle knelt down.

Hiruzen waved his hand to signal him to get up, and then asked: “Mountain Pig’s team has been monitoring Orochimaru for some time now, right?”

“Yes, Hokage-sama, it’s been almost half a month!” Eagle stood up and said.

“Half a month… is there nothing unusual?” Hiruzen asked.

Eagle was for a moment, and said: “Hokage-sama, Orochimaru did not do anything suspicious.”

Orochimaru is Konoha’s Sannin and also Hiruzen’s disciple. When ordinary person mentioned him, they have to add the word ‘sama’ at the back, but the Anbu Commander in front of him directly calls him Orochimaru, and Hiruzen was not surprised.

“What if… the monitoring person colluded with Orochimaru?” Hiruzen didn’t want to doubt Anbu, but Danzō’s words made him anxious, so he thought of preventing trouble, and decided to have a good chat with Eagle.

“Lord Hokage, do you doubt… how is it possible?” Eagle definitely didn’t believe it.

“It is impossible for Mountain Pig to betray us.”

Hiruzen said, “Among the remaining three people, Wild Boar, Wild Cat and Husky, if anyone colludes with Orochimaru, who do you think is the most suspicious?”

‘Husky, after all, he followed Orochimaru on the Sunagakure Battlefield before.’

‘But, doubting him just because of this?’

Eagle then said: “Hokage-sama, I will investigate secretly.”

“Give me a result as soon as possible.” Hiruzen nodded with a tired look on his face.

Since the outbreak of the war, he worked every day until late at night, and now after they have finally defeated Sunagakure, but Kumogakure and Iwagakure decided to declare war on them. As the situation in Konoha is getting more and more difficult, so Hiruzen works every day until the early hours of the morning. His white hair is increasing more and more, his wrinkles are getting deeper and deeper, his hairline is getting higher and higher, and his energy is getting worse and worse!

Some things that he didn’t need to care about at this time were also disturbing him, and make him unable to concentrate.

At this moment, Hiruzen can’t wait to unload the heavy responsibility of the Hokage and hand it over to the young people!

‘However, it is not the time yet!’

At this moment, an urgent information suddenly came.

“Hokage-sama, this is the information that just came from the front line of the battlefield.” An Anbu respectfully handed over a scroll to Hiruzen.

Hiruzen quickly restrained his thought, took the scroll, opened it, and he frowned slightly.

‘Kumogakure is actually making such a big move!’

‘They even sent A, the candidate for Yondaime Raikage’s position and Hachibi’s Jinchūriki, Killer B, to the frontline!’

‘With this, the frontline on Kumogakure Battlefield is in a really bad situation!’

Konoha was already short of high-level combat power, and now there are two “great persons” on the enemy side, Hiruzen instantly felt dizzy.

‘Does Konoha have a Shinobi who can fight against Hachibi’s Jinchūriki?’

Hiruzen pondered about it, and thought of Kushina.

But Konoha is not as good as Kumogakure. They can send Hachibi’s Jinchūriki to battlefield unscrupulously, but Konoha can’t. If Kyūbi is captured, Konoha will really be finished!

‘But besides Kyūbi’s Jinchūriki, who else can do it?’

‘Jiraiya?’

‘I don’t know where that super pervert ran to recently, and I couldn’t find him at all.’

‘Orochimaru?’

‘No way!’

‘Tsunade… Forget it.’

‘Danzō?’

‘If Danzō goes with the Root, maybe he can fight A and Killer B, but is Danzō willing?’

‘He is definitely not willing!’

‘There’s no I can go myself, right?’

""

Until the critical moment, Hiruzen must be in Konoha to stabilize the military’s heart of the three battlefields!

‘Then, except for them…’

‘Minato?’

‘Can Minato do it?’

Hiruzen immediately sent someone to find Minato.

But half an hour later, the reply he got was that Minato had already rushed to the Iwagakure Battlefield in the Land of Rain again half a month ago.

Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows. Recently, he was so busy that his memory has deteriorated a lot.

Hiruzen shook his head, and then ordered Minato to go to Kumogakure Battlefield!
