Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

Chapter 705: Another Meritorious Deed

Chapter 705: Another Meritorious Deed

Half an hour later, Kanpū came out of the small courtyard and quietly rushed to the corner to call out the Anbu’s Shinobi nearby and asked them if Mei and her group had contact with outsiders in the past two days.

“Absolutely not!”

The Anbu’s Shinobi solemnly vowed, “According to Hokage-sama’s instructions, in order to avoid conflicts, even the meals are delivered by our people, so it is impossible for them to come into contact with any outsiders.”

“Then have you mentioned anything outside to them?” Kanpū continued to ask.

The Anbu’s Shinobi said: “You are also from Anbu, so you should know Anbu’s rules.”

Kanpū nodded subconsciously. Anbu uses hand gestures for general communication during the mission, and they can’t speak unless necessary, let alone communicate with outsiders.

‘In other words…’

Kanpū was furious: ‘Terumi Mei actually came into contact with a mysterious Shinobi behind my back.’

‘And this mysterious person…’

The first thing that came to Kanpū’s mind is someone from Gozu Tenno.

Then came Orochimaru.

Some time ago, Orochimaru sneaked into Minato’s house, trying to provoke the pure superior-subordinate relationship between him and Minato. Although he failed in the end, with Orochimaru's character, he would never leave in such a dejected manner, so he must still be hiding in the dark, making trouble everywhere!

Kanpū pondered for a while, and after leaving the hot spring inn, he rushed straight to Hokage Tower.

……

At the same time.

After Mei sent away Kanpū, she shut herself in the bedroom.

“Come out.” Mei sat on the tatami.

After a while, a small white snake emerged from the corner and sprayed out an Orochimaru covered in mucus.

“How was your talk with Gekko Kanpū?” Orochimaru asked with a half-smile as he licked the mucus off his face with his tongue.

“It’s not important!”

Mei stared at him coldly and asked, “I just want to know if the death of Mizukage-sama has anything to do with Akatsuki! “

“Hehehe…”

Orochimaru said with a smile, “Terumi Mei, compared to retrieving Sanbi, wouldn't it be too stupid to pursue the death of the Yondaime Mizukage?”

Mei stared at him without speaking.

Orochimaru was not shy at all when being stared at by such a beautiful woman, because he is also a girl at this time!

“Actually, if you want to know who killed the Yondaime Mizukage, it’s very simple. Just confirm that Sanbi is in Konoha, isn’t that enough?” Orochimaru smiled.

“How can you be sure that Sanbi is in Konoha?” Mei was still not convinced.

“I naturally have my source of information.”

Orochimaru’s expression is calm, but in fact, even he is not sure about it, but who cares?

Mei seems to be infected by Orochimaru’s self-confidence, and was a little moved.

Then, she remembered the unfavorable negotiations with Hiruzen after arriving in Konoha, as well as the two days she had been under house arrest by Konoha's Anbu and the sit-in demonstrations held by Konoha’s villagers.

“How is it?” Orochimaru asked gloomily.

Mei lowered her gaze and said, “You see, now that all of us are under house arrest by Konoha’s Anbu, even if we want to do something, we can’t do it.”

“I can help you.” Orochimaru smiled, “When the time is right, I will come to you!”

After saying that, Orochimaru dissipated into smoke.

……

Hokage Tower.

When Kanpū rushed to Minato’s office, he happened to see an Anbu leaving after reporting the information.

“Kanpū, you came just in time.”

Minato said with a solemn expression, “The number of patients in Konoha Hospital no longer increases in the past few days. I thought Danzo deliberately stopped for the sake of public opinion, but I didn’t expect…”

A thought flashed through Kanpū’s mind: “Did they start to absorb Shinobi’s Chakra?”

Minato nodded, and with an ugly expression, he said: “At present, six Genin’s Chakra have been inexplicably absorbed.”

Shinobi’s physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary villagers, so even if their Chakra is absorbed, they wouldn't be unconscious. They won’t go to the hospital to lie down, and instead choose to report the attack.

Kanpū frowned and said: “Hokage-sama, I also wanted to report something.”

Kanpū told Minato about his doubts towards Mei.

“Advisor Danzo, Orochimaru, Kirigakure, more and more people are involved.”

Minato’s head felt hurt, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, “It’s a pity that Shisui only brought back one Amu.”

Although White Zetsu’s clone, Amu, is a scum with 5 power level, his investigative and surveillance abilities are obvious to all.

Kanpū asked: “Are there any gains from Amu’s side?”

Minato shook his head.

Although White Zetsu’s clone keeps an eye on the fish shop, no suspicious clues have been found so far.

It seems that after Yamano Ichiro visited once, the contact of the Root has been completely interrupted.

Kanpū remembered going to the barbecue restaurant in the morning, his eyes lit up, and he said: “Hokage-sama, those ten Root’s Shinobi should be lurking in the village as ordinary people. And there are not many places that allow ordinary persons to come into contact with Genin.”

Minato nodded and said: “Shikaku has already mentioned it to me. I also have asked two advisors to check all the staff in the tavern, barbecue restaurant, hot spring and other places in the village. But I’m afraid there will be no results in a short time.”

Konoha has been developing faster and faster in recent years, and there are more and more shops like tavern and hot spring, and the number of staff there has naturally increased exponentially, which has made their investigation more difficult.

But Kanpū doesn’t think so.

“Hokage-sama, before, their goal were ordinary people, but now, it is Genin.” Kanpū reminded.

Minato pondered, and his eyes gradually glowed.

‘That’s right, their goal were ordinary people before. Take Ichiro Yamano as an example. He used to work as a cashier in a convenience store, so he can get in touch with an ordinary person and then screen the target.’

‘Now that you become Genin, he needs to go to the barbecue restaurant!’

‘He changes job!’

‘As long as they changed jobs in the past two days, they are most likely the Root’s Shinobi we are looking for!’

Minato was overjoyed.

Kanpū sighed: ‘I accidentally made another meritorious deed.’

‘If this continues, I can compete for the Godaime Hokage.’

……

The efficiency of Konoha's government affairs department is quite high. After Kanpū put forward the ‘priceless’ opinion, about three days later, the government affairs department found out that except for Ichiro Yamano, there are 37 people who changed from ordinary jobs to jobs that could contact Genin during those two days.

Minato looked at the list excitedly, and immediately ordered the Anbu to follow and monitor them in order to screen out the real Root’s Shinobi.

In order to prevent being discovered, the person responsible for tracking and monitoring this time must be Elite Jonin-Level!

Kanpū originally thought that he would be dispatched too, but unfortunately, Minato did not let him monitor those people.

This is not because Kanpū’s certificate is still Tokubetsu Jonin, but because Kanpū and Danzo have a feud!

With Danzo’s old fox personality, any Shinobi who has a feud with him will be studied in depth, so just in case, Kanpū was not selected.

Instead, Kanpū’s shadow clone, ‘Kanpū’ was selected.

Kanpū is not jealous, but he wants to see if Minato can find 37 Elite Jonin in Anbu!

After all, as far as he knows, the main force of Anbu today is Elite Chunin and Tokubetsu Jonin. Although there are many Jonin, Elite Jonin is not something that ordinary Jonin can compare to!

But to Kanpū’s surprise, in less than half a day, thirty-seven Elite Jonin took up the jobs.

‘Anbu actually hides so many elites?’

Kanpū was astonished. It wasn't until he saw Kakashi that he realized belatedly: ‘Minato actually called back the Anbu who were working outside!’
