Chapter 374: Yondaime Must Be Targeting Me!
Speaking of which, Kanp has a lot to do with Aburame Clan.
Kanp was classmates with Aburame Yui at the Academy, and became teammates after early graduation, and their Jonin Instructor is Aburame Clans strongest person, Aburame Shikuro.
It just so happens that Shikuro has a very close relationship with Aburame Shibi. And now that Shibis son is born, Shikuro will definitely come to congratulate him.
If Kanp goes to Aburame Clan in the name of visiting Shikuro, maybe he can get into Shibis house and meet the still baby Shino.
But forget it.
Kanp shook his head, and then asked: Brother Iwashi, when will Hokage-sama come back?
Not sure, but there will be a meeting at 3pm, and Hokage-sama will definitely be back before then. Iwashi said.
Kanp looked at the time, and it was still a little before 11 oclock, and theres still more than four hours before 3 oclock in the afternoon. It wont be a problem to not wait in the Hokage Tower, so he spoke to Iwashi, then left Hokage Tower, ready to go shopping nearby to pass the time, and solve the lunch problem along the way.
Kanp strolled slowly to Ichiraku Ramen. After eating a large bowl of miso ramen, Kanp continued to roam arpind.
After the war, Konohas economy recovered at an extremely fast speed. Various clothing shops, snack shops, flower shops, dessert shops, gambling halls, taverns, jewelry shops, toy stores, photo studios and other shops have sprung up on both sides of the street, and people are coming and going, which looked very lively.
Correspondingly, the size of the Ninja Tool shops gradually decreased with the end of the war.
Kanp walked and looked around, and suddenly found that there was some commotion in front of him. Dozens of pedestrians gathered in front of a shop and there were screams from the crowd from time to time.
Kanp immediately squeezed into the crowd relying on Extraordinary Strength.
When he arrived at the innermost part, Kanp saw that several fierce-looking thugs beating a thin young man violently, cursing and yelling at the same time, looking lawless and arrogant.
As for the young man, he squatted on the ground and covered his head to protect his vitals with experience, and howled miserably from time to time. Its probably not his first time.
Kanp didnt rush up to fight for the injustice, but looked at the shop behind the thugs.
Outside the shop, there is a big sign with the word Gambling.
Gambling halls?
Kanp suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen a lot of gambling houses along the way.
Why does so many gambling halls pop up in the village all of a sudden?
A thought flashed through Kanps mind, and he heads directly to the gambling hall.
When the thugs saw Kanp passing by, they immediately glared angrily, as if intimidating Kanp not to be nosy, but when they saw Kanp walked towards the gambling hall behind them, they immediately smiled flatteringly.
Shinobi-sama, this way please, this way please.
Shinobi-sama, just looking at you from a glance, I can see that you are very lucky in gambling today, and you will definitely win a lot of money!
Kanp squinted at them, secretly thought of something interesting.
Since they have recognized me as a Shinobi, why did they have a threatening expression just now?
Does this gambling hall have a Shinobi background?
Walking into the gambling hall, passing through a three-meter-long corridor, and then opening a sliding door, a burst of loud noises reached Kanps ears instantly, and then a wave of heat mixed with sweat rushed towards his face.
Although it was the cold winter season, the inside of the gambling hall is full of excitement, and all the gamblers were sweating profusely as they competed with each other with blushing faces.
There are quite a lot of people in here.
Kanp squinted his eyes and looked around. Inside this small gambling hall, there are nine gambling tables, and each gambling table is full of gamblers. After roughly counting, Kanp found that there are nearly a hundred people here!
And in several corners of the gambling hall, there are many vicious thugs standing, wearing the same uniform as the thugs outside.
Kanp circled inside and then walked out.
Then he walked back and visited several gambling halls he had passed by before, and unexpectedly found that these gambling houses had many similarities.
For example, the thugs all wear uniforms.
For example, there are no more than ten gambling tables.
Another example is exactly the same three-meter corridor.
If it werent for the different names of the gambling halls, Kanp would have thought these gambling halls were chain enterprises.
But even if the names are different, the boss behind the gambling hall may be the same person!
And judging from the fact that these thugs are not afraid of Shinobi, the boss behind this must have something to do with Shinobi.
Kanp suddenly remembered that when he was in Shikuros Team 2 many years ago, several of them went to watch the Chunin Exams together. At that time, the staff members of the chrysanthemum gambling hall were everywhere, and Kanp also went to place a bet.
Of course, this is not the point, but Shikuro told him at the time that Konohas biggest gambling hall, chrysanthemum gambling hall, have a high-level background!
High level?
How high is it?
Is it as high as Danzo?
Kanp put the blame on Danzo without any psychological obstacles.
Then why does Danzo open so many gambling halls?
Gathering intelligence?
"
"
Impossible.
Raising funds?
Kanp was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Minato has cut Anbu and Roots funding by half!
Now that the Roots funding is cut into half, how can someone like Danzo tolerated it?
But I havent seen him stir up trouble even after so many days. This is totally inconsistent with his personality!
The only explanation is that he is raising funds through these small gambling halls, and then develop with low-profile?
The more Kanp thinks about it, the more likely he felt it is!
He looked at the time, and it was almost two oclock, so he immediately rushed to Hokage Tower.
Outside Hokages Office, Iwashi saw Kanp coming, and said with a smile: Hokage-sama has come back. He knows that you are looking for him, so you can go straight in.
Thank you.
Kanp thanked him, then opened the door directly.
Hokage-sama.
When he saw Minato, who was working on documents at his desk, Kanp started to speak with grief and indignation, Theres something bad!
Whats wrong? Minato raised his head, and his expression became slightly solemn.
Hokage-sama, I found that there are many small gambling halls in the village suddenly, like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain! Kanp vividly described.
Small gambling halls?
Minato was a little puzzled, Whats wrong with these small gambling halls?
Kanp immediately added fuel to the harm of gambling, telling that it makes people lose their minds, damages their physical and mental health, causes people to go bankrupt, embarks on the road of crime, steals and robs at that time, and endangers the harmonious development of Konoha
Hearing this, Minato scalp felt a little numb.
Isnt it scaremongering?
Minato is not stupid. After careful consideration, although Kanp said something extreme, but if there are too many gambling halls in the village, this extreme situation is bound to occur!
His face gradually became severe!
I didnt expect the existence of the gambling halls would cause such terrible consequences!
Minato said solemnly, I didnt even notice this before!
Kanp continued: Hokage-sama, and I suspect that these small gambling halls are not paying taxes!
Kanp doesnt know much about Konohas tax system, but he can be sure that if Danzo is really using these small gambling halls to raise funds, it is absolutely impossible for him to pay taxes!
Minato nodded solemnly, and then called: Kakashi!
Yes!
A figure suddenly appeared in the room.
Kanp turned his head and looked. The person who came was wearing a mask, only his trademark silver-white hair could identify him.
You heard what Kanp just said? Minato said slowly.
Kakashi nodded.
Investigate these little gambling halls immediately!
Minato said solemnly, Be careful!
Understood. Kakashi responded and instantly disappeared.
Then Minato turned his head to look at Kanp, and said with a smile: Kanp, thank you for your information!
As the Shinobi of Konoha, this is what I should do!
Kanp smiled shyly, and then talked about business, Hokage-sama, actually, theres another matter that Ive come to see you this time.
Whats wrong? Minato asked.
That
Kanp said tactfully, I found out that Genma and the others seem to be unable to keep up with my training progress. We cant exchange and learn from each other.
Minato nodded: Actually, I have also noticed that Genma and the others training have not made any progress after more than a month, so I plan to split the Flying Thunder God Technique into three parts.
Kanp is overjoyed, I dont need to guide it at all!
On the surface, Kanp showed a puzzled expression: What do you mean, Hokage-sama?
Minato smiled and said: After splitting it into three parts, Genma and the others will learn one part each. In this way they can exchange with each other, learn from each other, so as to speed up the learning progress!
As expected of Hokage-sama, only you can think of such a good solution! Kanp exaggeratedly praised.
Minato smiled and shook his head: Im not the one who has thought of this.
Kanp was startled: Its not Minato? Dont tell me he can see through my thoughts?
Kushina thought of it. Minato smiled happily.
Kanp breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gave a thumbs up: As expected of Hokage-samas wife, only she can think of such a good solution!
Wait, didnt I already say this sentence just now?
Well, I dont care.
After the matter was resolved, Kanp said his goodbye and left.
In the evening.
In a forest of Konoha.
A Roots Shinobi galloped at high speed in the forest. As the giant tree in the forest gradually becomes thinner, everything suddenly becomes clear in front of him, and a secret training ground hidden in the forest appears in front of him.
Danzo-sama! Seeing a person in the training ground, the Roots Shinobi immediately flickered in front of him and knelt down on one knee.
Whats the matter?
Danzo stood in front of him, his arms crossed on his chest.
In the training ground not far away, a youngster with the code name Kinoe is training!
Mokuton: Mokujheki! (Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall)
Kinoe formed hand seals with both hands and uses Chakra to activate Wood Release, but on the grass in front of him, only two gray logs with a length of several tens of centimeters grew.
Kinoe looked up towards Danzo with a guilty conscience, and found that Danzo was talking with other people, and he couldnt help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Danzo-sama, Anbu is investigating the small gambling halls. The Roots Shinobi reported in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Danzo immediately frowned: Anbu? Is it Yondaimes order?
Yes, the Anbu in charge of the investigation is Yondaimes disciple, Hatake Kakashi. Roots Shinobi answered.
Danzo lowered his eye, and it is unknown what he is thinking.
Danzo-sama, how should we respond? The Roots Shinobi asked.
Danzo snorted and said: Yondaimes goal is not these small gambling halls! He is here for me! From the beginning of cutting the Roots funding, he is targeting me! Humph, let him investigate! I really want to know what Yondaime wants to do to me with these gambling halls!!!
I understand! The Roots Shinobi immediately disappeared after responding. Then Danzo turned his head to look at Kinoe with a sullen face, and said: Thats all for today, lets go back, Kinoe.
Yes, Danzo-sama! Kinoe replied loudly.
