Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 637: Making Up Reasons

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

In the northern coastal area of the Land of Water, a huge ripple cuts the waves away, shooting towards the coastline like an arrow from the string.

“Garaga, we’re here.”

Seeing the coastline in front of him, Kanpū planned to send Garaga back to Ryuchi Cave, lest Garaga’s huge snake body attract the attention of others.

Land of Water and Kirigakure closed their country after the Third Shinobi World War and did not welcome any outsiders. So if people find Garaga, it may cause a lot of trouble.

Kanpū hates trouble the most.

“Understood, then goodbye.” Garaga slowly stopped its huge body, its body curled slightly, and then he disappeared instantly with a huge puff of smoke.

Kanpū landed steadily on the sea, and then ran towards the coastline.

A few minutes later, rugged reef area appeared in front of Kanpū’s eyes. Such a sea territory is obviously not suitable for docking ships, so there should be no pier nearby.

Passing through the reef area, there is indeed a messy beach ahead, with various strange rocks piled up, and there is no human habitation.

After landing, Kanpū continued to ran deeper without stopping and found a small forest thirty kilometers away.

Only then did Kanpū slow down his pace, and then he formed a shadow clone that went to the forest to fight in the wild, while he himself lit a bonfire.

These few days, Kanpū either ran wildly in the sea or slept on Garaga’s head, and he can only eat food pills when he is hungry. Although he will not starve to death, his stomach is about to collapse from eating too much pills.

Now when he has reached the land, he naturally has to give his stomach some offerings.

Half an hour later, the aroma of barbecued pheasant gradually filled the air…

After eating two chickens fiercely and confirming that his stomach could no longer hold food, Kanpū and leaned against the tree root to rest while thinking about his next plan.

‘First of all, of course, confirm the current time and see how long I have been away.’

Kanpū thought for a while, formed hand seal, and disbanded the shadow clone he had left in the village.

In an instant, a stream of memories quickly flooded into his mind.

Kanpū closes his eyes, accepted these memories calmly, and then frowned slightly.

‘April, Konoha’s Year 56…’

‘I actually stayed on the Moon for more than a year.’

‘Furthermore, the meteors I created on the Moon has attracted the attention of Five Great Shinobi Countries. The Great Shinobi Villages have invested heavily in the establishment of astronomical telescopes to observe the meteors in the night sky every night, and even speculated that the meteor came from the Moon!’

Kanpū doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh when he learned of this.

Apart from this, there is another unfriendly message to Kanpū, that is Yonbi’s Jinchuriki, Roshi, was caught by Minato!

After Roshi was caught, he immediately revealed to Minato that Hyōketsu owned Senjutsu and threw him from the Land of Waterfall to the Land of Fire’s sea territory using Space-Time Ninjutsu.

And these seem to be related to Kanpū!

Finally, Kanpū thought about the more than a year of his sudden disappearance, ‘What reasonable reason should I use to explain it?’

‘There are a lot of trouble.’

Kanpū’s head hurts, but he still has to bite the bullet and make it up.

‘First of all, Senjutsu is because…’

Kanpū pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

‘Cursed Seal!’

‘Orochimaru developed Cursed Seal using Jugo’s DNA, which can allow people to gain power far beyond their own, so it makes sense for the Abyss to use their own blood to develop the ‘pseudo Sage Mode’… right?’

‘Whatever, I will just push all the blame to the Abyss!’

‘As for why Roshi is brought from the Land of Waterfall to Land of Fire’s sea territory.’

‘This is easy to explain, that is, to prevent the injured Roshi from being discovered by Iwagakure’s Shinobi, so he was sent away.’

‘Finally, where did I disappear to the past one year…’

‘Seclusion?’

‘Was caught by the people of the Abyss and sliced ​​​​for research?’

‘None of it are very suitable.’

‘How about… tell the truth?’

‘Confess directly that I went to the Moon?’

‘When I will talk about Otsutsuki Clan’s affairs, Minato will definitely be shocked. Then, will he be in the mood to investigate other things?’

The highest realm of lies is indeed nine truths and one falsehood!

Kanpū’s eyes glow: ‘Let’s just do that!’

After compiling the reasons, Kanpū felt relaxed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Sleeping in a daze until the next morning, Kanpū went to the nearby river to wash up. He then left the small forest to find a pier to see if he could rent a ship directly back to the Land of Fire.

By noon, Kanpū has run for several dozen kilometers and finally found a wharf, but unfortunately, this is only a fishing wharf, and there was no business going to other countries. The fishing boats are also just medium-sized ships and there are no long-distance sailors, so Kanpū couldn’t go back to the Land of Fire from this place.

“Youngster, do you want to go to the sea?” When a middle-aged man with dark skin saw Kanpū inquiring everywhere, he stepped forward to interject with a smile.

Kanpū smiled shyly and said: “Yes, I want to go to other countries while I am still young.”

The middle-aged man sighed and said: “Then you have to go to Kirigakure.”

“Kirigakure?” Kanpū was startled. As far as he knows, Kirigakure is in the deep mountains, so he is confused why this man told him to go to Kirigakure.

Seeing his reaction, the middle-aged man smiled and said: “There is a river that leads to the sea near Kirigakure. All of our country’s big ships are gathered there.”

Land of Water is spread across lakes and rivers, and the waterways extend in all directions. Although Kirigakure is located in the deep mountains, there are large lakes nearby, which connects to various waterways and can directly reach the open sea!

After understanding this, Kanpū hurriedly asked the specific location of Kirigakure, then thanked the middle-aged man again and again, and moved towards Kirigakure.

After rushing all the way, three days later, Kanpū smoothly arrived at Kirigakure, which is surrounded by deep mountains.

“Is this the village of bloody mist?”

Kanpū stood on a high place. Looking down at the village wrapped in fresh water vapor, his eyes turned solemn.

Under the governance of Yondaime Mizukage, Kirigakure became extremely bloody and brutal. Even Shinobi from the same village kill each other, let alone foreign Shinobi.

“Let’s keep a low profile.”

Kanpū forms hand seals and uses Transformation Technique to change his appearance. He then lit up the kind eyes and benevolent eyebrows, and buried the Flying Thunder God Kunai in this place. After that, he turned into an afterimage and disappeared.

When approaching the entrance of Kirigakure, Kanpū slowed down, and quietly mixed into the crowd and entered Kirigakure without any trouble.

There is a lot of water vapor in Kirigakure, and walking in it is like being in a fairyland, but the pedestrians passing by are all in a hurry, which somewhat destroys this fairyland’s atmosphere.

Kanpū moved forward all the way. Relying on his kind eyes and benevolent eyebrows, he nodded to those who made eye contact with him from time to time, and then went up to have talk with them for a while. After chatting with four or five people, Kanpū got the information related to going to the sea.

Under Yondaime Mizukage’s closed-door policy, whether it’s a Kirigakure’s Shinobi or an ordinary commoner, anyone who wants to go to other countries by sea must apply half a month in advance, and even if the application is approved, they may not be able to board the ship, because there is only one ship going to sea each month!

Fortunately, Kanpū is a Shinobi with no emotions. As long as he confirms the time when the ship goes out to sea, he can just enter the ship silently.

After asking where he needs to apply to go to sea, Kanpū walked silently.

Walking down a few streets, Kanpū also saw many Shinobi with Kirigakure’s headbands, all of them were either fierce or sneered, with a cold stance ready to hack you to death.

Kanpū even saw a child cry because of a Kirigakure’s Shinobi, who has no eyebrows!

‘Wait!’

‘No eyebrows?’

Kanpū turned his head suddenly and looked towards the thin, eyebrowless Kirigakure’s Shinobi.

‘Zabuza?’
