Chapter 769: Even If You're the Hokage, You Can't Insult Me Like That
Kanpū happily stuffed the Sealing Scroll into his pocket.
This scroll was left to Kanpū when Konan left, and it contains five hundred thousand Explosive Tags.
Kanpū calculated, subtracting five hundred thousand from one hundred billion, Konan still owes him… 99,999,500,000 Explosive Tags.
‘With so many zeros and nines, Konan can’t renege on a debt, right?’
Compared with Nagato, Kanpū preferred to trust Konan a bit more. And if she dares to renege on the debt, Kanpū would encourage the Abyss to raid her base, making her restless day and night.
At this moment, Kanpū’s shadow clone left behind on Shisui’s side was destroyed, and the memory was passed back. Feeling this, Kanpū immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Shisui’s side.
On the side, Itachi, Tenzo, and the rest of the subordinates had already gathered.
“Kanpū, there’s no sign of Konan. She indeed did not die.” Shisui said with a serious expression.
Even such a terrifying explosion couldn't kill Konan, which made Shisui quite frustrated.
“It was Pain who rescued her.”Kanpū said righteously, “The reason why I was late just now was because Pain was dragging me! But don’t worry, I've driven him away!”
“Driven him away?”
Shisui knew that Kanpū is very strong, as he has both Flying Thunder God Technique and Sage Mode, but Pain has the Rinnegan.
He was skeptical, but Kanpū didn't explain further, and said: “Alright, since the matters here are settled, let’s quickly return to the village and report.”
Although the explosion just now is dangerous, but except for Shisui, who once again used the power of Mangekyo Sharingan and worsen his condition, everyone else was still vigorous and lively. Kanpū had Tenzo carry Shisui on his back, and the group quickly rushed back to Konoha.
“Leave the mission report to me. Everyone can disband and rest for two days.”
After setting the meeting time for three days later, Kanpū went to the Hokage Tower alone.
Regarding the mission in the Land of Grass, Kanpū has already reported it to Minato. So this time, he is going to report another matter.
Hokage Tower.
Outside the Hokage’s Office.
Kanpū was stopped by Genma as soon as he approached: “Hokage-sama is discussing matters with Advisor Fugaku. Kanpū, please wait here for now.”
“Advisor Fugaku?” Kanpū was taken aback, then realized Genma was talking about Uchiha Fugaku.
“What are they talking about?” Kanpū asked quietly, “If it's not convenient to reveal, then forget it.”
Genma shrugged, then said with a smile: “Nothing special, just the Military Police Force’s business.”
“Kakashi got into trouble again?” Kanpū asked with bright eyes.
“What do you mean by ‘again’…”
Genma said with a bitter smile, “Kakashi proposed to change the Military Police Force’s symbol, so now, Advisor Fugaku came to discuss this matter with Hokage-sama.”
The Military Police Force’s symbol consisted of shuriken and the Uchiha Clan’s emblem. Over the years, this symbol had almost merged into the entire Uchiha Clan's bloodline. And even Konoha’s ordinary villagers and Shinobi are used to it.
“Kakashi’s desire to change the Military Police Force’s symbol is bound to be difficult.”
Kanpū expressed his lack of confidence in Kakashi in a low voice.
“That is not necessarily true.”
Genma said with a smirk, “Kakashi and Guy have been quite active lately, almost replacing half of the Military Police Force’s members. Now, more than half of the Military Police Force’s members are commoner Shinobi, and the remaining Uchiha Clan’s Shinobi left by Kakashi are probably already accepting his leadership, so I think he can succeed.”
“Wanna bet?” Kanpū took out the Sealing Scroll with 500,000 Explosive Tags sealed inside, and said, “I’ll use this drop in the bucket to bet with you!”
Genma rolled his eyes, and said with a sigh: “Hokage Guard Platoon is prohibited from gambling.”
Kanpū felt very uncomfortable. According to the script, Genma should ask him what was inside the scroll, and then he will casually mention that there are only 500,000 Explosive Tags inside. After that, Genma should show a shocked expression and ask if that was just a drop in the bucket? Then, Kanpū could act all proud and arrogant!
But he really didn’t expect… didn’t expect that Genma would be such a coward and didn’t follow the script.
Just at this moment, the office door opened, and Fugaku walked out calmly.
“Advisor Fugaku.” Kanpū bowed his head slightly in greeting.
“Clan Head Kanpū.” Fugaku did not dare to underestimate this Anbu’s team captain, after all, he was a werewolf who blocked his Susanoo’s blow with a single sword stroke!
After a brief chat, Fugaku left.
Kanpū talked to Genma and walked into the office. He saw Minato standing by the window, leaving him with a cool back draped in Hokage robe.
“Hokage-sama.”
Kanpū walked to the front of the desk and said, “Shisui, Tenzo, and the others are back.”
Minato turned around with a smile, and said: “Did everything go smoothly?”
Kanpū shook his head: “About two hundred kilometers from the village, they were attacked by Akatsuki.”
Minato’s expression turned serious, but he immediately relaxed. If Shisui and the others had an accident, Kanpū would never have this expression, so the attack and so on is mostly alarming, but not dangerous.
“Is it Orochimaru?” Minato guessed.
Kanpū shook his head, his expression gradually becoming serious, and he said: “It was Nagato and Konan, the leaders of Akatsuki.”
“What?!” Minato's pupils shrank, “Nagato?”
‘So that’s how it is!’
Minato suddenly remembered the information he received from Jiraiya a few days ago, saying that it was Nagato and Konan who left Amegakure.
‘It turned out they had come to target Shisui…’
‘Huh??’
‘Targeting Shisui?’
“Is Shisui all right?” Minato asked nervously.
In Minato’s Biju Plan, Shisui’s Mangekyo Sharingan, or rather, his Dojutsu, Kotoamatsukami, is a very important part, so Shisui must not be harmed!
“He is fine, but during the battle with Konan, he used Mangekyo Sharingan, and his eyesight has deteriorated significantly again.” Kanpū said.
Minato said: “This is not good.”
If they let Shisui continued like this, he might go blind before he could use Kotoamatsukami on the Nine Biju.
No, he must find a solution, either finding a way to replenish the Mangekyo’s pupil power, or find a way to stop Shisui from participating in the high-intensity battle.
Kanpū didn’t know what Minato was thinking, so he recounted what happened before, emphasizing his brave actions in delaying Six Paths of Pain.
Of course, he briefly mentioned the reasons why Nagato and Konan attacked Shisui at the end.
“Nagato and Konan want Uchiha Obito’s information?” Minato’s attention was quickly diverted when he heard this.
Kanpū said: “Yes, I suspect they want to take action against Obito. As the saying goes, the enemy of our enemy is our friend, so I took the initiative to exchange information about Obito’s Space-Time Ninjutsu. Please forgive me, Hokage-sama.”
Minato looked strangely at Kanpū, and said: “How much did you charge?”
“Hokage-sama, even if you are the Hokage, you can’t insult me like this. Everyone knows that I always treat money like dirt. I won't even look at money or anything like that…”
Before Kanpū’s could finish describing his character, Minato interrupted him with an expressionless face and a deep gaze, “Just get to the point.”
‘Do you think I still don’t know your character yet?’
Minato felt both angry and amused.
Kanpū forced a laugh and said: “Wasn’t Shisui an undercover in Akatsuki before? I am worried that Nagato might seek revenge against him in the future, so I exchanged Obito’s information with him, and asked Akatsuki to cancel their pursuit of Shisui and, also gets 100 billion Explosive Tags along the way.”
Minato breathed a sigh of relief, ‘Although information about Obito is confidential, if it can be exchanged for Shisui’s safety…’
‘Eh…’
‘Wait!’
‘How many Explosive Tags?’
Minato stared at Kanpū in disbelief: “One hundred… billion?”
Kanpū nodded: “Yes, one hundred billion Explosive Tags.”
‘Hokage-sama, as the leader of the strongest Shinobi Village in the Shinobi World, you have to be confident.’
