Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 818: I'm A Pro

The night is like a curtain, with a little starlight.

At the entrance of Konoha’s Forest of Death, Tenzo dashed forward like lightning, swinging his two arms.

“Big brother Kanpū, I am here.”

“Big brother Kanpū, where are you?”

“Big brother Kanpū, I saw you, don’t hide.”

“Big brother Kanpū?”

“Gekko Kanpū, you bastard, stood me up again!”

Outside the Forest of Death, Tenzo stood with his hands on his hips, looking disgruntled.

In today’s training camp, Kanpū suddenly told them to seal off the sixth training ground. After that, he mysteriously asked him to come alone at night, only to stand him up. How unforgivable!

Tenzo found a place to sit down, sulking alone.

After sulking for over half an hour, Tenzo finally heard faint sound of breaking through the air in the distance.

‘He’s finally here…’

Tenzo got up and looked around, and unexpectedly saw two figures in the distance.

“Big brother Kanpū… Shisui-senpai?” Tenzo looked at them in surprise.

“Tenzo, you’ve just arrived?” Kanpū smiled and patted his shoulder.

‘Brother, I have been waiting for more than half an hour…’ Tenzo smiled: “Yes, it hasn’t been long since I arrived.”

“Let’s go, we’ll talk inside the Forest of Death.” Kanpū waved his hand and swiftly dashed into the dark forest.

Tenzo quickly followed, his face expressionless as he asked: “Big brother Kanpū, Shisui-senpai, did you call me here tonight for something important?”

‘If not, then forgive me for not turning off the gas at home.’

“Let’s talk after we’re deeper.” Kanpū said mysteriously.

The three people entered the depths of the Forest of Death, then Kanpū turned and looked towards Shisui, and said: “Amu is with you, right?”

Shisui nodded, then stomped his foot and said: “Amu, come out.”

“What’s up?” White Zetsu’s clone, Amu, emerged from underground, revealing his white head.

“I need you to patrol nearby. If anyone approaches, inform us immediately.” Shisui said seriously, “Please.”

“Understood.” After acknowledging, Amu disappeared into the ground.

Seeing this, Tenzo knew he couldn’t escape tonight.

Sure enough…

Kanpū spoke up: “Tenzo, the village has entrusted you with a mission.”

Tenzo asked seriously: “What mission?”

Kanpū whispered: “To help Shizui in training Wood Release!”

Tenzo frowned: “Train what?”

“Train Wood Release.” Kanpū repeated.

“What Wood Release?” Tenzo asked.

“Train…” Kanpū’s gaze turned mysterious: ‘Boy, are you itching for a beating?’

“Cough.”

Shisui coughed lightly and voluntarily explained, “Tenzo, I transplanted a left arm with Shodaime-sama’s cells. So in a sense, I’m like you now.”

‘Transplanted a left arm with Shodaime-sama’s cells… that sounds too complicated.’

Tenzo furrowed his brow, and after a moment, he realized, and exclaimed in surprise: “Shisui-senpai, your left arm…”

Shisui nodded: “That’s why I’m counting on you.”

Tenzo looked towards Kanpū.

Kanpū said: “This is Hokage-sama’s order.”

“I understand.” Tian took a deep breath and said, “I will do my best to help you, Shisui-senpai!”

“Okay, let’s get started.”

Kanpū consciously turned around, waved his hand and walked away, “I have something to attend to. Be careful, don’t cause any casualties.”

Shisui and Tenzo exchanged glances blankly: ‘Just training Wood Release, how could it cause casualties?’

Tenzo shook his head at this. Sometimes, he really couldn’t keep up with Kanpū’s thoughts.

“Shisui-senpai, shall we begin?” Tenzo’s expression gradually became serious.

……

After leaving the Forest of Death, Kanpū went straight to the Anbu’s Headquarters.

The third floor.

Kanpū arrived outside a medical room, where the Anbu Commander, Eagle, was standing guard.

“Commander, is Konoha Saburo awake?” Kanpū asked.

“It should be about time.”

Eagle solemnly took out a scroll and gave it to Kanpū, and then said, “It’s up to you now.”

“Don’t worry, I’m a pro at deceiving people!” Kanpū patted his chest confidently, and then he heard movement coming from the medical room. Kanpū immediately took out his wolf mask and put it on.

At this moment, Konoha Saburo wakes up from the anesthesia.

‘Who am I?’

‘Where am I?

‘What am I doing?’

After being stunned for a while, he slowly ‘recalled’ some things: ‘My name is Konoha Saburo, and I am Konoha’s Shinobi. I used to work as a spy in Kirigakure. After I was discovered, my memory was erased by Kirigakure’s Shinobi…

He touched the bandages on his face and ‘remembered’ something else: ‘I underwent plastic surgery because the Kirigakure’s Shinobi are still chasing me, who is a spy…’

Although he had no memory, Konoha Saburo has no reason to doubt this ‘memory’.

He got up from the hospital bed and saw an Anbu wearing a fierce wolf mask walking in and said, “Konoha Saburo-dono, please follow me to complete your induction procedures.”

“Induction procedures?” Konoha Saburo looked at him in confusion.

“You have been a spy in Kirigakure for many years. Although you have not returned with valuable information, Hokage-sama still values ​​you very much, so he specifically allows you to join the Anbu!” Kanpū said in a tone full of pride.

“Anbu… I understand, I’ll join Anbu.” Konoha Saburo nodded muddleheadedly, and then followed Kanpū to start the process.

They returned to the ward after more than an hour.

“The team you are in is called Zero. It is an Anbu among Anbu. You’ll only follow Hokage-sama’s orders, understand?” Kanpū asked.

Konoha Saburo opened the Anbu certificate in his hand, and the team number on it was indeed written with a zero.

He curiously asked: “Then what missions do I usually do? By the way, where is my home? Where is my family?”

“You… are an orphan.”

Kanpū took out a brand new scroll and said, “This is your proof of identity.”

At the same time, he explained, “When you went undercover in Kirigakure many years ago, your traces in Konoha were erased because there were also spies from Kirigakure in the village. This was done to ensure your safety to the fullest extent possible, but unfortunately, you were eventually exposed. Saburo-dono, after you came back, Hokage-sama immediately restored your identity. Just looked at the scroll, how fresh it is!”

Konoha Saburo blankly took the freshly made scroll. As he read through it, it detailed his life from being an orphan to enrolling in the Academy, graduating, receiving his Shinobi Certificate, going undercover in Kirigakure. Everything is there.

Konoha Saburo instantly felt at ease.

‘This is my home.’

But soon after, another thought came to his mind, and he didn’t hesitate and asked directly: “Then, how did I come back?”

‘My identity as a spy was exposed in Kirigakure, but why didn’t Kirigakure’s Shinobi just kill me directly? Instead, they chose to erase my memory?’

‘How did I end up here again?’

The puzzled Konoha Saburo looked at Anbu in front of him, earnestly seeking answers.

‘I’ve already prepared for your question long ago…’ Kanpū took a deep breath and said: “Actually, the Kirigakure’s Shinobi sent you back.”

“What?” Countless question marks appeared on Konoha Saburo’s bandaged face.

Kanpū sighed and said: “Up until now, I can only tell you the cruel truth. Saburo-dono, inside your body, a Biju is sealed. And its name is Isobu! “

“Isobu…” Konoha Saburo looked at him bewildered.

With his memories erased, he had no idea what Isobu was.

“Isobu is a powerful and righteous majestic creature! Its strength is enough to flatten Konoha!”

As Kanpū said so, he could faintly hear the roar of a turtle in his ear.

‘Is he enjoying this flattery?’

Kanpū continued: “Kirigakure erases your memory, sealed Isobu into your body, and then sends you back to Konoha. They… are using your special identity to bring Isobu into our village!”

‘This tactic was inspired by Uchiha Madara. Madara-sama, in dirty tactics, I would like to call you the strongest!’

“Kirigakure used me to bring Isobu into the village…” Konoha Saburo was startled, then following Kanpū’s thoughts, he realized what’s going on, “They plan to let Isobu destroy Konoha?”

‘Good, you’ve answered correctly…’ Kanpū nodded with satisfaction and said solemnly: “Actually, I can understand Kirigakure’s desire to destroy Konoha, but by sealing Isobu inside your body, they’re trying to deceive us, to make us fight each other and ultimately bring about vengeance among us! It’s so despicable!”

Konoha Saburo was outraged by this revelation, and gnashed his teeth in anger: ‘Kirigakure is so despicable?!’

“Fortunately, their plan failed!”

Kanpū said with a smile, “Perhaps in the eyes of Kirigakure, our Konoha is full of evil, but the truth proves that our Konoha is a partner of justice! Because Isobu, who has always been always powerful, dignified, and righteous, did not attack Konoha! This is ironclad proof!”

Roar~

Another loud roar echoed in his ears.

“So that’s how it is!” Konoha Saburo had no more doubts after hearing this.

Outside the door, Eagle, who had been eavesdropping, was also moved: ‘This set of explanation can not only reassure Konoha Saburo’s heart, but also make him misunderstand Kirigakure. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!’

‘Of course, the most important thing is that this explanation seems applicable to other Jinchuriki as well.’

‘That guy Kanpū is indeed a professional!’
