Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

“Urgh~~”

“Orgh~~”

“Argh~~”

With the utterly tragic screams, three Sunagakure’s Shinobi, who were patrolling outside Sunagakure, were brutally cut and killed by Ice Release, and then buried on the spot.

Half an hour later, the Sunagakure’s patrol team found that the three members had not returned to take over the shift on time, and immediately sent a three-person team out to check. The result was of course what’s gone can never come back, won but never returned.

Hyōketsu uses this place as a stronghold to fight for aid, but all Sunagakure’s Shinobi who come here are killed!

Tenkū squatted far behind, quietly looking at him to perform.

Time passed, and in less than two hours, four three-person teams had died in Hyōketsu’s hands!

The patrol finally realized that the situation was not good, and immediately reported the matter to the Kazekage Building, and alarmed Rasa not long after.

At this time, Rasa is comforting his wife at home. Ever since Karura knew that Chiyo was going to make her unborn son a Jinchuriki, she was restless and anxious, and couldn’t sleep for many nights. Unknowingly, this will inevitably be detrimental to the fetus, so Rasa has been comforting her all the time.

Because of that, when Anbu found him, his face was very ugly.

“Rasa, the village matters are important.” Karura got up and pushed Rasa out of the bedroom.

“Karura, go to bed early, I will not let our child become the Jinchuriki!”

Rasa assured outside the door, then turned to look at the Anbu, and asked with a calm face, “What happened?”

“Kazekage-sama, there was news from the patrol team saying that an enemy was found outside the village!” Anbu reported in a low voice.

“Enemy’s attack? Is it Iwagakure?”

Rasa suppressed his anger, and immediately rushed to Kazekage Building.

At this time, the captain of the patrol team is already waiting there with a pale face. When he saw Rasa, he immediately speaking: “Kazekage-sama, as of now, four patrol teams have lost contact outside the village!”

“Have you confirmed the identity of the intruder?” Rasa asked coldly.

The captain of the patrol team shook his head innocently: “All the Shinobi sent out to check have not come back, so the identity of the other side cannot be confirmed.”

“You idiot! You can’t even do this little thing well!”

Rasa looked at him annoyedly and said, “I am so disappointed in you!”

“Sumimasen.” What can the captain of the patrol team do?

“Baki!” Rasa called out in a deep voice.

“Yes!” A young man whose face was half covered by a cloth flickered in front of Rasa.

“Take Anbu to kill the intruders outside the village immediately!” Rasa said coldly.

“I understand.”

Baki waved his hand, and immediately, more than a dozen Anbu followed him to the outside of Sunagakure.

The night is gloomy.

The strong wind blows the yellow sand outside Sunagakure. From the distance, it looks like a pale-yellow gauze draped in layers of silver fluttering in the wind.

Hyōketsu is dressed in a black robe, wearing a straw hat, and his face under the straw hat is covered by a ice crystal mask. At this time, he stands in the pale-yellow veil with his hands behind his back, letting the wind and sand blow his robe. Since he stays still, he looked very imposing.

Not far away, Tenkū squatted on the ground, hiding in shadow. His rough face was full of ‘I am not satisfied’!

Whoosh whoosh…

Amidst the sound of the wind, there were faint sounds of feet stepping on the yellow sand, hurried and concise. Hyōketsu raised his head, and through the ice crystal mask, his gaze fell on Baki’s face.

“Ice Release: Ice Crystal Dragon!”

Hyōketsu didn’t talk nonsense, and directly formed hand seals and attacked.

In the past, Kanpū could only use Ice Release to create ice senbon, but supported by the power of Ryumyaku, Hyōketsu can already use powerful Ice Release Ninjutsu.

The huge and ferocious Ice Dragon meandered in the sky, lettiung out a silent roar, and immediately crashed into Baki.

‘Ice Release?’

Baki’s complexion changed: “Kirigakure’s Shinobi?”

As everyone knows, Ice Release is the Kekkei Genkai of Kirigakure’s Yuki Clan. So when Baki saw Ice Release, the first thing that came to his mind was Kirigakure!

“Fūton: Kaze no Yaiba!” (Wind Release: Blade of Wind)

Without time to think about it, Baki immediately formed hand seals, gathered Chakra in his hand, condensed wind as a sword, and slashed at the ice dragon fiercely!

Chung!!

With the ear-piercing sound of friction, the wind blade is like an invisible sword, cutting the Ice Dragon madly. With the ice shards splashed all over the place, half of the head of the ice dragon was neatly cut off, but it still swept towards Baki at a terrifying speed.

Baki’s complexion changed slightly, and he immediately flickered back with Body Flicker Technique.

Boom!

The yellow sand splashed everywhere, and the half-headed ice dragon slammed into the yellow sand, followed by winding up again in an S-shaped position, and with the continuous influx of Hyōketsu’s Chakra, the severed half of the ice dragon’s head quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye!

“Why did the Shinobi from Kirigakure appear here!” Baki asked coldly.

But Hyōketsu ignored him. He continued controlling the ice dragon in the sky to take a B-shaped position, and swooped down again. The huge winding dragon body carried terrifying speed and power, forcing Baki to back away tens of meters again.

“Attack!” Baki said as he backed away.

As soon as the words fell, those Sunagakure’s Anbu, who had been following him, immediately attacked, and various Wind Release Ninjutsu either attacked the ice dragon in the air, or attacked Hyōketsu.

Hyōketsu raised his hand calmly, but didn’t form any hand seals at all. Countless pieces of ice crystal snowflakes gathered and compressed in his palm, turning into an oval ice crystal shield, and on the surface of the ice crystal shield, a pattern of flamboyant demon god appeared.

Boom!

Several violent hurricanes attacked and hit the ice crystal shield heavily!

Hyōketsu was instantly forced to take half a step back as if being given a slap in the face.

The demon god’s pattern on the surface of the ice crystals shield was also blown apart by the hurricane in an instant, turning into ice chips invisible to the naked eye and dissipating with the wind.

The hurricane is getting stronger and stronger, Hyōketsu felt like he was being pushed by an invisible giant hand, and his whole body couldn’t help but slid backwards, leaving two palm-wide drag marks on the sand with both feet, stretching for tens of meters!

‘Sunagakure’s Anbu is also quite strong.’

Hyōketsu thought, then turned his head, and saw Tenkū, who should have been squatting here, had escaped into the ground at some point.

Hyōketsu is not surprised by this. He puts down the ice crystal shield a little, and looked up at the ice dragon in the air.

At this time, the ice dragon was caught by several air currents invisible to the naked eye, and it still couldn’t get rid of it as it swam in mid-air. Eventually, it was cut off by Baki’s wind blade, and there was a hurricane blowing in the next moment, cutting the ice dragon into pieces.

Hyōketsu did not make any more moves, but started speaking: “If you want to have a decisive battle with Iwagakure in a stable manner, then show your sincerity to us!”

Without waiting for Baki to react, Hyōketsu leaped back silently like a ghost, and the black robed figure quickly disappeared into the night.

“Baki, what should we do?”

“Do you want to chase after him?”

One of the Anbu asked in a low voice.

Baki shook his head and said: “Go find the remains of our dead companions, I will go back and report this to Kazekage-sama!”

“Yes!” The Anbu responded.

After ten minutes.

Baki rushed to the Kazekage Building in a hurry.

In the office, Rasa sits quietly in his exclusive seat, staring at the night scene outside the window with focused eyes. As for the captain of the patrol team, he has been dismissed by him and left.

“Baki, how is it?”

As soon as Baki appeared, Rasa asked.

“Kazekage-sama, the other side is Kirigakure’s Shinobi!” Baki knelt down on one knee, and solemnly told the battle that just happened outside the village and the words left by Hyōketsu.

‘Ice Release Kekkei Genkai…’

‘Kirigakure’s Yuki Clan…’

‘Sincerity…’

Rasa’s expression looked calm and wise, but his heart is full of anger, ‘Those Kirigakure’s bastards want to profit from our misfortune, damn it!!’

“Kazekage-sama, what should we do?” Baki asked uneasily.

The decisive battle between Sunagakure and Iwagakure is imminent. And if Kirigakure intervenes at this time, Sunagakure will be over!

Rasa clenched his teeth and said: “Go ask Chiyo, Ebizo, and… huh?”

When Rasa said this, he suddenly thought of something, and then he turned his head and looked towards Baki: “Baki, does that Ice Release Shinobi wear an ice crystal mask on his face?”

Baki was startled, and nodded hastily: “Yes, he does wear… Uh, how did Kazekage-sama know?”

Rasa’s eyes narrowed slightly: “It really is him.”

“Kazekage-sama, who do you mean?” Baki was puzzled.

Rasa did not explain, but fell into memory.

‘When Sunagakure is invading the Land of Fire, and fought against Konoha’s Shinobi army, this Shinobi wearing an ice crystal mask had appeared before, and had an unclear relationship with that Pakura. And now, this Ice Release Shinobi has appeared again!’

‘Did he come to profiting from our misfortune on behalf of Kirigakure, or did he just come for Pakura?’

“Baki, repeat the last sentence of that Ice Release Shinobi!” Rasa said.

“He said: If you want to have a decisive battle with Iwagakure in a stable manner, then show your sincerity to us.” Baki recalled.

‘It is show sincerity to us, not to our village…’

‘So that’s how it is!’

A smile appeared on the corner of Rasa’s mouth, and he said softly: “Baki, go and invite Pakura, the hero of our village, here.”

“Yes!”

Although Baki didn’t know what happened, since Rasa didn’t explain, he could only suppress his curiosity.

Soon, the tall and slender Pakura stepped into Kazekage’s Office with valiant and formidable appearance.

“Kazekage-sama, are you looking for me?” Pakura a knelt on one knee and asked softly.

Rasa nodded: “There is indeed a very important confidential mission that I wanted to entrust to you. I believed that only the hero of Sunagakure can complete this mission!”

Pakura raised her head and asked: “What mission?”

“The decisive battle between our Sunagakure and Iwagakure is imminent, but…”

Speaking of this, Rasa then looked towards Baki.

Baki immediately said: “Pakura-sama, just now, there was a Kirigakure’s Shinobi outside the village and attacked us. He used…”

Rasa waved his hand, signaling Baki to stop talking.

“Kirigakure’s Shinobi is attacking?”

Pakura frowned slightly, “Does Kirigakure want to profit from our misfortune?”

Rasa got up, walked slowly to Pakura’s side, and said solemnly: “You guessed right, Pakura. Kirigakure is profiting from our misfortune! Now that the decisive battle is imminent, we don’t have the time and energy to deal with Kirigakure, so the only thing we can do is to form an alliance with Kirigakure! For the sake of the village, Pakura, you have to complete this mission!”

Although Pakura felt that it is strange, she still nodded in the end: “I understand, I will definitely solve the worries of the village!”

Rasa showed a gratified smile, then took out a scroll and handed it to her, and then said: “This is the scroll for our alliance. Be sure to hand it over to the Yondaime Mizukage!”

“Yes!” Pakura took the scroll solemnly.

“This is a confidential mission, so please leave tonight.” Rasa said again.

“I understand!” After Pakura put the scroll away, she flickered away immediately.

“Kazekage-sama…” Baki that his worldview was about to be shattered, ‘What kind of operation is this?’

‘Isn’t there still Kirigakure’s Shinobi outside?!’

“Don’t worry, this matter has been resolved without accident. From now on, we just have to deal with Iwagakure. However, this confidential mission cannot be announced to the public, understand?” Rasa said seriously.

“I… I understand.” Baki lowered his head.

Rasa walked over to patted Baki on the shoulder and then said: “Baki, I am very optimistic about you, you will become an outstanding Shinobi!”

“Yes!”
