Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Kannabi Bridge.

When Iwagakure’s Shinobi army retreated towards the Land of Rain, the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces not only did not relax their vigilance, but increased their vigilance, for fear that the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army was doing this to relax their vigilance and make a surprise attack at night.

After a few days passed, the allied forces finally breathed a sigh of relief when it was confirmed that the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army had really given up on Kannabi Bridge.

Today.

“Kanpū.” Minato suddenly came up to Kanpū while bringing Kakashi and Rin.

“Minato-sama, Kakashi-senpai, Rin…senpai.” Kanpū looked at the three people, and felt something strange at first glance, but he couldn’t put it into words.

Minato said solemnly: “Kanpū, I came to you this time to trouble you with something.”

‘So solemn?’

Kanpū panicked a little when he saw this, ‘I can’t promise, I can’t promise, I can’t promise …’

“What’s the matter?”

Kanpū shouted in his heart not to promise, but his body was still very honest.

Minato said: “It’s about Obito…”

After Obito was buried alive, Minato’s group of three simply erected a wooden tomb there. At this time, now that Iwagakure’s Shinobi army had retreated, and there would be no battle in the Land of Grass for the time being, Minato wanted to ‘salvage’ Obito’s remains.

That’s why he went to find Kanpū.

“Kanpū, I’m sorry to trouble you.” Rin put her hands on her chest, and she looked pitifully at Kanpū with her big watery eyes.

Among the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces, there are very few who are good at Earth Release, and Kanpū is the only one who can go into the ground to find someone.

Although Kakashi stood on the side and didn’t speak, his eye was also asking the same thing.

Kanpū’s heart faintly collapsed: ‘You bastards are forcing me!’

‘What if the one I dug out is Uchiha Madara?’

‘It’s so f***ing infiltrating!’

Kanpū wants to refuse, but he couldn’t find any reason.

How can he refuse to dig up the remains of Shinobi from their own village as there’s ‘no danger’?

‘If I refused, will I still be able to become Yondaime Hokage’s Hokage Guard Platoon in the future? I haven’t even collected Kakashi’s Chidori?’

Kanpū gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead were completely shown, and he finally nodded and said: “Okay!!!”

Kakashi’s brows were raised when he saw this, ‘Why does this guy seem to be gritting his teeth?’

Minato and Rin also feel that Kanpū is weird.

The group of four people set off immediately.

After a long time, they came to the place where Obito was buried alive.

Minato, Kakashi and Rin came to the wooden tomb, mourned sadly for a minute, and then they simultaneously turned their heads and looked at Kanpū.

Kanpū gritted his teeth, came to the wooden tomb silently, and said in his heart, ‘Uchiha Madara-sama, please don’t wait stupidly at the same place. If I were you, after picking up the corpse, I would definitely wipe out the traces. If you leave any traces, then you are just a stupid old man!’

Kanpū cursed fiercely, then formed hand seal to cast Shadow Clone Technique.

Bang!

After the smoke disappeared, Kanpū’s shadow clone appeared.

He coughed dryly, and said, “It’s faster to find it this way.”

“Then why don’t you use Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?” Kakashi interrupted in a timely manner.

Kanpū’s scalp instantly felt numb, ‘That’s right, I have already learned Shadow Clone Technique, so why don’t I learn Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?

‘…Because my Chakra is only at Chunin-level, so it is not enough.’

Kanpū complained angrily in his heart.

After that, he ignored Kakashi, and formed hand seals together with his shadow clone to use Subterranean Voyage and dive into the ground.

Kanpū only circled within three meters underground, and it is the shadow clone who bravely rushed below three meters to find Obito’s remains.

After entering the ground, the soil around Kanpū turned into pale-yellow liquid under the influence of Chakra. Because of that, he could only touch the hard soil around the light-yellow liquid with his hands to check the underground situation.

After Kanpū groping around for a while, he confirmed that within three meters, there is no Obito’s body, nor did he touch any secrets passages, Madara, or Zetsu.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but instead of coming up, he waited for his shadow clone.

His shadow clone kept turning in circles below three meters, but also didn’t feel anything abnormal.

Then the shadow clone began to expand his range, and after a while, he finally found an abnormality.

‘The soil here is a bit abnormal!’

The shadow clone groped carefully and thought about it, ‘Obito was buried alive because Iwagakure’s Shinobi used Rock Lodging Destruction, but the formidable power of Rock Lodging Destruction shouldn’t penetrate to ten meters underground.’

The shadow clone touched the surrounding and found that the abnormal soil is just right enough to form a slightly deformed rectangle, ‘This is… an underground passage!’

The shadow clone immediately formed a hand seal to disband himself.

After Kanpū received the memory of the shadow clone, he went up without saying a word.

“How is it?” Minato immediately asked when he saw Kanpū coming out.

Kanpū shook his head solemnly and said: “Sorry, I didn’t find the body of Obito-senpai.”

“How could it be?” Rin looked at Kanpū in disbelief.

Kanpū hinted: “Perhaps, Obito-senpai was not dead, and was rescued instead.”

“Not dead?” Minato turned his head and looked at Kakashi and Rin.

Kakashi said solemnly: “Rin and I watched Obito buried under the ground by countless huge rocks!”

Rin kept nodding: “Yes, in such situation, Obito, he… it is impossible for him to survive!”

‘Yes, it stands to reason that Obito is dead, but Uchiha Madara has the cells of the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama.’

“Maybe someone was lurking underground at that time and saved Obito-senpai who was dying.” Kanpū continued to hint frantically.

Kakashi and Rin looked at him suspiciously.

“Hey, are you seriously looking for it?” Kakashi crossed his hands near chest, and was very dissatisfied.

“I…” Kanpū was about to defend himself, but was interrupted by Minato.

“Kanpū, did you find something underground?” Minato asked solemnly.

Kanpū hesitated, and then shook his head violently.

“No, you hesitated just now!” Minato has strong nerve reflexes, so he can also notice details that others can’t perceive.

Kanpū was entangled when he heard this, ‘What should I do?’

“Kanpū, tell me!” Minato said seriously, “It didn’t matter what you found below!”

Kanpū frowned, and for some reason, the image of Minato and Madara colliding appeared in his mind.

‘Although Uchiha Madara is old and his Rinnegan was also already transplanted to Nagato, he still has Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, and a pair of Sharingan. With his pupil power, he might be able to use Mangekyo for a few seconds, and he also has the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and a wealth of abnormal combat experience. Minato only has Flying Thunder God Technique, primary stage Rasengan, and imperfect Sage Mode, so he is probably not the opponent of Uchiha Madara.’

‘But Uchiha Madara should not be able to kill Minato who owns Flying Thunder God Technique.’

‘If that’s the case, having them ‘meet’ doesn’t seem to matter either.’

Thinking of this, Kanpū nodded: “I did find something abnormal underground!”

Minato, Kakashi, and Rin were shocked when they heard this.

“Is Obito really not dead? Was he really rescued?” Rin was overjoyed, and her eyes were full of tears.

“What did you find?” Kakashi asked nervously.

As for Minato, he looked Kanpū solemnly.
