Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 333: Building Momentum

After Danzo left, Hiruzen ended the meeting and dispatched some Anbu to follow Danzo.

After that, Hiruzen wrote three letters, one to Sandaime Tsuchikage, Onoki, who is in Iwagakure, one to the Land of Rain’s frontline, and the last one to Minato who is stationed at the Kannabi Bridge.

Then, he asked people to promote the importance of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge and Minato’s contribution. And after some time, he gets his people to spread the information that Land of Earth’s Iwagakure is about to surrender.

Although there is no clear description of the relationship between the two, as long as everyone hear these two information, they will subconsciously think that it is the victory of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge that forced Iwagakure Village to surrender!

And the victory in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge is all due to the Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato!

The next day, Hiruzen let people spread the news again, saying that once Iwagakure surrenders, Kirigakure will also surrender, and Kumogakure will be unable to fight against Konoha alone and will withdraw from the Land of Fire!

Although the information still didn’t say anything clearly, the clever villagers instantly deduced through layers of reasoning and concluded that all of this is due to the Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato!

If it wasn’t for Minato destroying the Kannabi Bridge and win the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Iwagakure would not have surrendered. If Iwagakure didn’t surrender, Kirigakure would not surrender. If Kirigakure didn’t surrender, Kumogakure will not withdraw from the Land of Fire, and the war will not end!

Therefore, in the war that affected the Five Great Shinobi Countries this time, it was the Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato who “single-handedly” established Konoha’s victory!

As a result, Minato’s reputation is growing with each passing day, like the sun at high noon!

Orochimaru at the corner of the street, watching all this coldly.

During this period of time, Orochimaru used the opportunity of taking Anko out of the village to do missions, and built various secret bases in the Shinobi World, collecting materials for human experiments, and collecting available materials for his own use. He was so busy that he didn’t come back until now. And when he came back, he didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.

‘Hiruzen-sensei really spared no effort for Namikaze Minato. What hero who ended Shinobi World War? Hmph, if I was the one who go there, I can also destroy the Kannabi Bridge, I can also hold the strategic location, and I can also force Iwagakure to surrender!’

‘This is all due to the situation, and Namikaze Minato just happened to stand in the limelight!’

‘Besides, without all the efforts of Konoha’s Shinobi, Konoha would have already lost!’

‘Without the cost of weakening or even sacrificing all the Shinobi’s efforts, would Namikaze Minato be able to complete it?’

Orochimaru felt a little jealous, angry, and disappointed!

Right now, Hiruzen has apparently ‘abandoned’ his own disciple, Orochimaru and threw himself into the arms of his new favorite, Minato. Orochimaru knew that complaining is useless, and only through violence can it be possible to snatch Konoha’s power from Hiruzen’s hands!

But at this time, Danzo has actually left the village!

When Orochimaru was silent, Anko ran out from the nearby Ninja Tool shop and waved the kunai in her hand and said with a smile: “Orochimaru-sensei, I bought it!”

Orochimaru nodded slightly: “Then, let’s go to the mission hall to pick up a new mission.”

“Yes!”

…

Kannabi Bridge.

Kakashi lived up to his name as a genius. It only took him one day to learn Subterranean Voyage, and by the third day, he was already able to use it skillfully.

Because of that, he no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed to the place where Obito was buried alive again with Minato, but at the request of Minato, he finally created a shadow clone and let the shadow clone search.

Only after searching for a long time that he got an unexpected but expected information.

The underground space under the ground has been completely covered under the giant rock!

Kakashi was shocked and asked inexplicably: “How is it possible? If the underground space is buried, why isn’t the ground sunken at all?”

“Summoning Technique.”

Minato said solemnly, “The other side is not only good at Earth Release Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, but their Summoning Technique is also very powerful!”

“So they summon rocks from other places?”

Kakashi was very depressed, “Minato-sensei, if this is the case, can we not find any clues anymore? Obito… can we still find him?”

Minato nodded seriously and said: “As long as Obito is still alive, he will definitely show up again.”

On the other hand, after Kanpū got the Chidori scroll, he studied it while trying to collect it. After three days, all nine collections failed!

However, Kanpū did not give up. Kanpū remembered when he collected the B-Rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Furious Lightning Tiger and the scene of heavy thunderstorms. On the fourth day, he began to use the rest of Lightning Release Ninjutsu before the collection. From the most basic D-Rank Lightning Release, he used them one by one, it was only one hour later that he finished using all the Lightning Release Ninjutsu, and then he collected Chidori, which has the training difficulty of A-Rank!

The green light cluster in his mind surged quickly, but soon subsided.

‘It’s too difficult!’

Kanpū covered his head, then took a deep breath, and continued to use Lightning Release after refining Chakra, so that before each collection, he would use the Lightning Release Ninjutsu he has mastered, which can improve the success rate of collection. It can also improve his speed in using and control of the Lightning Release Ninjutsu, which means that he can do multiple things in one strike!

As for the rest of the time, Kanpū was not idle either. He kept training Fire Release, Earth Release, Water Release, and Wind Release. After a long time, Kanpū gradually calmed down and immersed himself in various Ninjutsu.

A few days later.

A letter was passed from Konoha to the Kannabi Bridge. It was the letter that Hiruzen wrote to Minato.

Minato has a very high reputation among the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces, so as soon as his letter arrived, some Shinobi ran to him immediately.

At this time, Minato is studying Kakashi’s Sharingan.

After Obito’s Sharingan was transplanted to Kakashi, because it could not be closed, Kakashi’s Chakra has been slowly consumed. Minato is good at Fūinjutsu, so Kakashi asked Minato for help.

After researching, Minato indeed found a way to seal the Sharingan, but…

“Kakashi, to avoid the Chakra consumption, the only way is to seal the Sharingan, but by sealing the Sharingan, you won’t be able to use its power.”

Minato looked at him solemnly, “In other words, your Chidori will also be ‘seal’!”

Without Sharingan’s dynamic vision, Kakashi’s Chidori will be reduced to a ‘useless’ Ninjutsu that can easily hurt himself!

Minato feels that Kakashi’s Chidori has great potential, so it would be a pity to give it up like this. As for the consumption of Sharingan, Kakashi is already a Jonin after all. If he works harder every day and spend more time to refine Chakra, this level of consumption would be completely bearable.

So Minato persuaded him.

Kakashi nodded, as he also felt that it’s not good to seal the Sharingan like this, after all, it was a legacy left by Obito for him.

‘No, Obito is not dead, so this Sharingan… anyway, it can’t be sealed.’

“I understand.” Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

Minato smiled slightly, but just as he was about to speak, a Shinobi suddenly appeared: “Minato-sama, there is a letter from you, it is from Hokage-sama.”
