Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

Chapter 741: New Member of The Abyss?

Outside Konoha, deep in the jungle.

Orochimaru was very excited about his discovery, as if he had solved the biggest unsolved case in the history of the Shinobi World, and he could not wait to confront Kanpū and Minato directly, and then expose Kanpū’s identity as a ‘double agent’.

That's right, in Orochimaru’s view, Kanpū is a double agent. He is sandwiched between Konoha and Abyss, and while using the resources on both sides for training, he also transmits unimportant information to each other to maintain balance. And for taboo information like Impure World Reincarnation, he secretly conceals it.

‘Hmph, what a clever little brat!’

Minato should soon know the information about Wood Release, but with his trust in Kanpū, Orochimaru believed that he basically has no possibility of sowing discord.

Orochimaru pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Taki, his golden vertical pupil overflowing with light, and h said: “Taki, I want to see the leader of Abyss.”

Taki’s face changed slightly when he heard this, ‘You want to see my boss?’

‘We were just talking about Wood Release, why would he suddenly want to see him now…’

‘Did Orochimaru have guessed that Wood Release is in Abyss?’

‘As expected of one of the Sannin!’

Taki took a breath, then scolded with a straight face, “Orochimaru, who do you think you are? Is the leader of our organization someone you can see if you want to?”

Orochimaru’s face darkened: “What did you say?”

“You are not qualified to see my leader.” Taki raised his head slightly, leaving Orochimaru with a profile of his face at an angle of 40 to 50 degrees.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, and there was a flash of murderous intent deep in his eyes.

He knows that Taki in front of him is also a shadow clone, so using force could not solve any problems.

‘In that case…’

“Abyss seems to be recruiting Shinobi who owns Kekkei Genkai as new members.”

Orochimaru grinned and pulled out a sharp touch, “Right?”

Taki looked at him sideways: “So what?”

“I plan to recommend someone to Abyss. He is the only one possessing this Kekkei Genkai in the Shinobi World: Shikotsumyaku!”

Orochimaru said with a sneer, “So, am I now qualified to meet the leader of Abyss now?”

Taki can’t help but laughed when he heard this: “Orochimaru, your sense of self-superiority is too good. You want to meet our leader just after recommending a new member to our organization? Are you dreaming?”

Orochimaru’s mouth slowly dropped, and the cold murderous intention was accompanied by a powerful aura slowly enveloped Taki.

Taki still wanted to be sarcastic, but thinking of Shikotsumyaku, ‘Well, let’s give him some face.’

He then said with a snort: “For the sake of us being teammates for so many years, I will reluctantly tell you that the leader of our organization will not meet any outsiders, do you understand?!”

“Outsider?”

Orochimaru understood the hint instantly. Taki is implying that if he sent Kimimaro to Abyss, he can then communicate with the leader of Abyss through Kimimaro.

‘However, if I can’t see the leader of the abyss directly, won’t I be losing the bait and the fish?’

Although Taki and Hyōketsu have been working for Akatsuki for several years and seemingly free, Orochimaru has not forgotten that they are only shadow clones running around. In that case, what if their true bodies are controlled by the leader of Abyss?

Orochimaru has to be cautious, after all, Kimimaro is his important reincarnation container!

But after thinking about it, although Kimimaro’s Kekkei Genkai is strong, but his Kekkei Genkai disease is also getting more and more serious, and he may not live for a few years.

‘In that case…’

Orochimaru looked at Taki with meaningful look and said: “I will bring him to you.”

Taki smiled implicitly: “I will be good friends with him.”

Orochimaru also smiled.

But White Zetsu’s clone, who only showed half of his body, next to him, was extremely shocked!

‘Orochimaru, this cunning guy, actually has such a deep background!’

‘Through Impure World Reincarnation, he got Uzumaki Clan’s Clan Head, Uzumaki Ashina and Shodaime Hokage, Senju Hashirama. If there’s no accident, Nidaime Hokage, Senju Tobirama is probably also obtained by him.’

‘Now, there is actually the owner of Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai among his subordinates!’

‘And most importantly, he wanted to send that Shikotsumyaku Shinobi to Abyss!’

‘Has he already noticed that Obito and Nagato are about to drive him out of Akatsuki, so he prepared a retreat path in advance and planned to cooperate with Abyss?’

‘He’s indeed rebelling!’

White Zetsu’s clone was so angry that he was shaking, but there was nothing he could do!

Because he knows that Orochimaru in front of him might also be a clone.

‘Thinking about it this way, Orochimaru and Abyss indeed fit in well.’

White Zetsu’s clone became more and more tired as he thought about it, and then he dived into the ground and passed the information here to the main body.

……

At this time, Zetsu is in the forest at the Land of Wind’s border. After some sensing, he indeed noticed the aura of Wood Release!

Decades ago, he had observed the battle between Madara and Hashirama at close range, so he is very sensitive to Wood Release’s aura!

“There’s no mistake, this is definitely Senju Hashirama’s Wood Release!” Black Zetsu’s voice was filled with indescribable coldness.

‘Uchiha Madara has not been resurrected yet, but his rival Senju Hashirama has returned from the Pure Land first. It's really disturbing!’

Then, the information from White Zetsu’s clone came.

White Zetsu said: “Black Zetsu, Orochimaru wants to cooperate with Abyss.”

Black Zetsu’s face turned darker: ‘That’s right, there is also that Abyss. This organization appeared inexplicably was also something outside of my plan!’

‘No, we have to figure out what the hell that Abyss is!’

‘The best way is to imitate Orochimaru and send Kekkei Genkai Shinobi into Abyss!’

‘But on our side, the only Shinobi who owns Kekkei Genkai is only Obito!’

‘But Obito is the executor of the plan, in case there is an accident in Abyss…’

‘How about I encourage Nagato to send someone to Abyss?’

‘However, the only Shinobi who owns Kekkei Genkai in Akatsuki are Hyuga Taki and Yuki Hyōketsu, and both of them are from Abyss!’

‘There’s no way I can let Nagato join the Abyss himself, right?’

‘This guy’s Rinnegan can’t be lost.’

Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes and asked: “White Zetsu, is there any Missing-nin with Kekkei Genkai recently?”

White Zetsu said: “I will send a clone to black market to have a look.”

Black Zetsu nodded and continued to observe the surrounding dense forest. After waiting for a while, the news came back.

“You're lucky, there really is one.” White Zetsu said with a chuckle.

“Who?” Black Zetsu solemnly asked.

“Iwagakure’s Missing-nin, Explosion Release Shinobi, Deidara.”

White Zetsu said with a laugh, “I heard that he is the disciple of Sandaime Tsuchikage, and his talent is very good.”

“Very good, send a clone to tell Pain about Orochimaru and Deidara’s information. He will know what to do.” Black Zetsu said.

“Understood!” White Zetsu responded.

……

Amegakure.

In a hut eight hundred meters away from the central steel tower, Jiraiya broke out of the sealed box that was about to be out of oxygen. He then looked around, and after confirming that he was safe, he immediately came to the window and looked at the steel tower not far away.

“Sure enough, there is no way.”

Jiraiya's expression is solemn. Although there are many houses in between from here to the central tower, most of the places have no eaves, making it difficult to shelter from the rain, especially the 100-meter open space at the edge of the central tower, there is no obstruction at all!

‘In that case, the only option is to try the underground sewer.’
