Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 340: Shisui's Genjutsu
In the early morning of the next day, Minato came to Kanpū’s house early in the morning and dragged Kanpū from the bed.
Because he took a long nap yesterday, last night, no, Kanpū didn’t go to bed until 4 o’clock this morning. After sleeping for less than three hours, he was woken up by Minato.
“Lord Minato, is there anything you need from me so that you find me so early?” Kanpū was washing up in the bathroom, feeling listless.
Minato showed a faint smile and said: “Do you still remember what my shadow clone discussed with you?”
Kanpū recalled and asked: “Was it the test of Uchiha’s Sharingan’s Genjutsu?”
“Yes, to be able to make your shadow clone fall into Genjutsu silently, the other party’s Genjutsu should not be underestimated. Through this test with Sharingan’s Genjutsu, we may be able to estimate the other party’s strength.”
Minato leaned against the wall outside the bathroom, his hands crossed near chest, and he said with a slight smile, “Currently, the title of the strongest Genjutsu user in the Uchiha Clan belongs to Shisui of the Body Flicker, I remember you used to be his teammate.”
Kanpū was brushing his teeth and said in a vague voice: “Yeah, I just met him when I entered the village yesterday, but just after saying a few words, I was interrupted by Uchiha Clan’s Clan Head. From what I seen from him, it seems that he doesn’t like Shisui chatting with outsiders like me.”
Kanpū immediately tattletale when he gets the chance.
Minato smiled and said nothing.
After coming out, Kanpū asked: “Minato-sama, have you had breakfast? If not, do you want a bowl of wide noodles too?”
“No, I’ve already eaten.” Minato said.
Since that’s the case, Kanpū went directly to Gekko Tavern to order a few onigiri, and then followed Minato to Shisui’s house while eating.
One hour later, the two arrived at Shisui’s house, but unfortunately, there was no one at home.
“It seems that he has gone on patrol.” Minato said.
“Patrol?”
Kanpū was taken aback. Like him, Shisui has just came back from the frontline yesterday, ‘I got three days-off in the Anbu, but Shisui… he’s already went on patrol this morning?’
‘Is the Military Police Force short of people or they’re really busy?’
As if seeing the doubt in Kanpū’s eyes, Minato explained with a smile: “Uchiha Clan’s Clan Head wanted to compete for the Yondaime Hokage’s position, so this period of time, Military Police Force will maintain efficient operation as it did during the war.”
Kanpū understood what’s going on immediately, ‘Uchiha Fugaku is showing great performance as a bargaining chip to win the election, but…’
Kanpū turned his head, and looked towards Minato and said: “Minato-sama, did you compete for the Yondaime Hokage’s position too?”
Minato nodded: “Well, that is my dream!”
“Minato-sama, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to realize your dream and become an excellent Hokage!” Kanpū said flatteringly.
Minato didn’t know whether to cry or laugh and said, “Let’s go, let’s find Shisui.”
Minato obviously knew Shisui’s patrol route, so he left the village with Kanpū directly, and waited for Shisui in a dense forest outside the village.
Along with Shisui, there are two Shinobi from the Military Police Force.
“Yellow Flash?”
“Why are you here?”
When the two Military Police Force’s Shinobi saw Namikaze Minato, they looked a little wary.
“He came to find me.”
Shisui took a step forward, and said with a smile, “Kanpū.”
Kanpū waved his hand: “Shisui, come here, I have something to trouble you.”
Shisui turned his head to let his two companions go first, and then his figure flickered, and appeared next to Kanpū in an instant. His speed was so fast that Kanpū could vaguely feel the same feeling as seeing Yellow Flash.
Kanpū turned his head and looked towards Minato, and sure enough, he also showed a solemn expression, apparently also amazed by Shisui’s Body Flicker Technique.
“As expected of Shisui of the Body Flicker!” Minato smiled and praised, and then he explained his intention of finding Shisui.
After hearing this, Shisui was a little confused: “You want me to use Genjutsu to attack Kanpū’s shadow clone? Why?”
Kanpū then said: “Because I encountered a strange thing when I’m in the Land of Grass’s battlefield. My shadow clone was hit the enemy’s Genjutsu during the mission, but there was no trace, and I didn’t find any memory of the Genjutsu until it was disbanded.”
Shisui asked strangely. “Do you suspect that your shadow clone has been hit by the Sharingan’s Genjutsu?”
“It’s hard to say, Shisui, I will have to trouble you.” Kanpū said seriously.
“Okay.”
Shisui sighed and asked, “What are you going to do?”
Kanpū said: “Let’s keep it simple. I will create a shadow clone and ordered him to pass by here, and Shisui, you will hide in the dark and use Genjutsu to make my shadow clone circling around without him noticing.”
“I understand.” Shisui nodded, and then the three people instant disappeared.
Soon, the shadow clone Kanpū created came from the distance with a cold expression, ‘It was ridiculous to let me be a test subject!’
He walked vigilantly, the surrounding terrain, trees, stones and other details from time to time to ensure that he was not running in circles. As he walked and walked, he became a little impatient, ‘Have Shisui used Genjutsu yet? Why didn’t I notice anything?’
‘Or, could it be that I have already been under the Genjutsu?’
A thought flashed through the shadow clone’s mind, and he immediately disrupted his Chakra Flow. It didn’t take long for the shadow clone to break free from the Genjutsu, only to realize that he was actually running in circle!
‘Bastard!’
The instant the shadow clone broke free from the Genjutsu, Minato, Shisui, and Kanpū’s real body appeared one after another, and then Kanpū disbanded the shadow clone.
Minato has serious expression on his face. After being tempered on the battlefield, Kanpū already has Elite Chunin-strength and even Tokubetsu Jonin’s strength. With that said, his shadow clone is naturally not bad, but under Shisui’s Genjutsu, Kanpū’s shadow clone couldn’t do anything, and he spent nearly ten minutes on the spot before breaking free from the Genjutsu!
Moreover, if it weren’t for Kanpū’s shadow clone already knew that he would be hit by Genjutsu, it might have been delayed for a longer time!
‘As expected of the Uchiha Clan’s strongest Genjutsu Shinobi!
Minato took a deep look at the 3-Tomoe Sharingan in Shisui’s eyes, then looked towards Kanpū and asked: “How is it?”
“When I was in the Land of Grass, my shadow clone also suspected that he was hit by Genjutsu, so he disrupted his Chakra Flow at different frequencies every five minutes, but in the end, everything went as usual, and there was no sign of the Genjutsu. And this time, my shadow clone successfully broke free from Genjutsu.”
Kanpū replied, then looked at Shisui with a little expectation in his eyes, “Shisui, is there a stronger Genjutsu?”
Shisui was startled. The Genjutsu he used just now is already the strongest Genjutsu he can display with 3-Tomoe Sharingan, and above it is Mangekyo Sharingan’s Genjutsu!
‘Could it be that Kanpū’s shadow clone was hit by Mangekyo Sharingan’s Genjutsu?’
As far as he knows, in the entire Uchiha Clan, he is the only one who has awakened Mangekyo Sharingan!
‘Or are there other people who have awakened Mangekyo Sharingan hidden in the clan?’
Shisui remembered that he awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan because of the death of his friend, Fukken, so he felt that the other clansmen should also be able to do it too.
‘If so… Wait, the Uchiha Clan has always been in the Kirigakure Battlefield, but Kanpū was in the Land of Grass…
Shisui showed a look of uncertainty.
“Shisui?” Kanpū patted Shisui’s shoulder.
When he came back to his senses, Shisui looked at Kanpū solemnly and said: “Kanpū, let’s do it again!”
“Okay!”
Then the three people disappeared again. After a while, another Kanpū with an indifferent expression came cautiously from the distance, ‘I know that Shisui will definitely use Genjutsu, so I will just disrupt my Chakra Flow every five minutes, no, every one minute!
The shadow clone thought cunningly.
At the same time, Shisui, who was hiding in the dark, closed his eyes, and then slowly opened his eyelids, revealing a tiny slit in his eyes. In the scarlet’s blood color pupils, the 3-Tomoe can be vaguely seen. Then, the black tomoe slowly spin and eventually evolved into the pattern of a four-cornered windmill.
The powerful pupil power of the Mangekyo slowly rippled. Shisui glanced at Kanpū’s shadow clone, and then silently threw a Mangekyo Sharingan’s Genjutsu at him. The shadow clone didn’t notice it, and he walked in circles, turning, turning, and keep turning.
The shadow clone showed indifferent expression on the surface, but was panicked in his heart. He feels that he has been hit by Genjutsu, but when he observed the surrounding, no matter the terrain, trees, grass or rocks, there is no abnormality. Moreover, he disrupted his Chakra Flow every one minute, but there is still no fluctuation on the surrounding!
‘So all of this is true?’
‘Shisui hasn’t used Genjutsu yet?’
The shadow clone stayed calm and collected, and continued walking.
Not far away, Minato’s expression was solemn. The moment Shisui activated his Mangekyo just now, he keenly noticed a trace of danger, and then, when he saw Kanpū’s shadow clone walking around around in circle, he immediately understood that the danger came from Shisui!
‘Shisui of the Body Flicker… he’s unexpectedly powerful!’
Minato was secretly vigilant.
At this moment, Kanpū suddenly flashed out, came to the side of the shadow clone, who was still spinning around, and observed his shadow clone closely.
The shadow clone fell into the Genjutsu, and didn’t even know that his main body was staring at him, he just continued walking and turning around.
Minato also flickered to Kanpū’s side, and said in a deep voice: “What a powerful Genjutsu.”
Shisui had already closed his Mangekyo at this time, and appeared beside them while rubbing his eyes gently.
“Shisui.” When Kanpū saw Shisui, he deduced that Shisui must have used Mangekyo Sharingan to cast the Genjutsu.
Shisui lowered his hand and bloodshot is faintly visible on the white of his eyes. He then asked: “How is it?”
Kanpū said: “Let’s wait for the shadow clone to disband itself.”
The three people waited, and about half an hour later, the Genjutsu that Shisui applied to the shadow clone finally broke of its own because of the pupil power was exhausted. The shadow clone was shocked, and saw three stinky men staring at him without blinking. He frowned, feeling like a clown, and felt very ashamed!
But before he could say anything, Kanpū disbanded him directly.
The memory entered the real body, and Kanpū carefully recalled the memory of the shadow clone. Although he disrupted his Chakra Flow every one minute, and has been carefully observing the surroundings, he didn’t find any sign of Genjutsu. He nodded slowly and said, “Minato-sama, this is the level of that Genjutsu!”
Shisui’s face changed slightly upon hearing this, ‘There really is another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan in the Uchiha Clan!’
Minato is now feeling certain in his heart, ‘It seems that Kanpū did not lie. At the Land of Grass’s underground back then, someone did use the powerful Genjutsu to confuse his shadow clone, and… the other party is very likely to be from the Uchiha Clan!’
