Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 343: Heading To Sunagakure
Forest of Death.
Kanpū walked out of the forest alone. Looking back, the figures of Tabako and Kosuke in the forest gradually disappeared.
He stayed with Kosuke in the Forest of Death for two days, and successfully collected a Water Release Ninjutsu from Kosuke, the one called Water Severing Wave!
This technique is to spray a straight line of ultra-high-pressure water jets from the mouth. It has terrifying destructive power and perverted cutting ability. In the original work, when Nidaime use this technique, he managed to cut the God Tree!
But that is for Nidaime, as for when Kanpū uses it, he currently can only cut ordinary tree trunks.
The three days-off passed in a flash. The next day, Kanpū got up early and rushed to Hokage Tower. He saw Peppa and Wild Cat outside the locker room on the third floor, and they are waiting for Kanpū with their Anbu attires on hand.
“Kanpū, hurry up, we are going to gather at the base of our new reorganized team.” Wild Cat said.
“Is there a notice?” Kanpū asked as he entered the locker room and packed up his Anbu attire.
“Yes, we are all waiting for you.” Peppa said strangely.
“By the way, where’s Wild Dog?”
After Kanpū finished packing up, he came out and asked, “He went to the Kumogakure’s Battlefield before, and now that Kumogakure has retreated, he should have come back too, right?”
Hearing this, Wild Cat said in a low voice: “Wild Dog has died.”
Kanpū was taken aback and sighed slightly.
Then, the three people went straight to the base of the reorganized team. It was behind the mission hall, and it was a relatively spacious room, even if it’s just a dressing room. At this time, the other seven Anbu, including Dove and Crow, had already arrived.
When they went to the border of the Land of Grass, there were 20 people in the squad including Kanpū and the other two. But now, there are only half of them left, and the remaining half all died on the frontline.
“There are still a lot of lockers left, the three of you can choose whatever you want.” When Dove saw the three people appear, he pointed to a row of empty lockers.
“Understood.”
Kanpū three people chose the three lockers adjacent to each other, then changed their clothes and put on their masks.
“Leader, is there a mission?” Kanpū asked.
Dove nodded: “Mission number 099, escort the spies of the Land of Wind’s Sunagakure and the Land of Earth’s Iwagakure back to their village!”
A thought flashed through Kanpū’s mind, and he hurriedly raised his hand and said: “Squad leader, I want to escort the Sunagakure’s spies!”
Kanpū’s intention is very obvious, that is, he is going to the ancient kingdom of Roran deep in the desert of the Land of Wind.
Dove had no reason to refuse Kanpū’s request. There were only two villages in total, so it’s fine to agree to others’ request.
“Then, Sunagakure’s spies will be escorted by me, Husky, Wild Boar, Wild Cat, and Leaf.” (T/N: I don’t know why the author would name an Anbu Leaf, and not animal like usual.)
After he said that, Dove looked at the Vice-Leader Crow and the other four Anbu, and then said, “I will leave Iwagakure to you guys.”
“Don’t worry, now that the war is over, there will be no danger.” Crow said with a chuckle.
Dove nodded and said: “Then, let’s go to the prison first!”
…
Konoha Prison.
Even after few years has passed, the person in charge of this prison is still the Tokubetsu Jonin, Tanaka.
Kanpū remembers that when he first joined the Anbu and came here to perform the prison guard mission, a Kumogakure’s prisoner broke through the Chakra seal violently wounded people. He didn’t expect that Tanaka, who is the person in charge, didn’t do anything.
“The prisoners from Sunagakure and Iwagakure have been prepared for you.”
Tanaka stretched out his hand to call in his subordinates and asked them to bring the more than 30 people who were digging mines on the left side of the hillside here. Seven or eight of them had disheveled hair, all with idiotic faces.
“Everyone is here.” Tanaka pointed at them.
Dove and Crow glance at each other, each took out a stack of lists and began to verify their identities.
“Anbu is still as rigorous as ever.” Tanaka said with a smile.
After a while, Dove and Crow divided these prisoners into two groups, but…
“The number is wrong!”
Dove frowned, “There are three people missing from Sunagakure.”
“Iwagakure has seven people missing.” Crow said.
Tanaka stretched out his hand and pointed at the prisoner who was mining on the hillside, and said helplessly, “It can’t be helped. They have to work hard every other day, so many prisoners can’t hold this kind of life and chose to commit suicide.”
Dove snorted softly, and he didn’t bother to care whether what he said was true or not, they’re all spies after all. So since there are a few less, they can’t do anything about it.
“Let’s go.” Dove waved his hand, and the group immediately led the thirty or so prisoners out of Konoha Prison.
“Is the war over?”
Leaving Konoha Prison, a spy from Sunagakure standing behind Dove and the others asked in a hoarse and tired voice, “Who won?”
“It must be our Iwagakure!”
“That’s right, Tsuchikage-sama will definitely lead our village to victory!”
The spy behind Crow also exclaimed, but from their voices, one and two seems to be squeezed by Konoha Prison.
“What a pity, whether it is Sunagakure or Iwagakure, all of them have surrendered to us Konoha!” Peppa said with a snort.
“That’s right, and now, the Shinobi of your two villages are fighting against each other in the Land of Rain.” Wild Cat said with a smile.
“What?”
“What stupid things are you talking about?”
“Are you kidding me?”
In addition to the idiotic ones, the spy of the two villages were full of shock and anger, and their faces were full of disbelief. They were digging to death and living with difficulty in the prison all this time. Their only motivation to survive was to expect their respective villages to defeat Konoha and welcome them back to glory, but they didn’t expect that now…
“No matter how unwilling you are to accept it, this is a fact that cannot be changed.”
Dove turned and looked at them, “Now, we will escort you back. I hope you can cooperate during this period!”
“Cooperate? Will you remove the seal on us?” One of the Iwagakure’s spies asked.
“Of course… not.” The crowd smiled coldly, “The war is over for us, but for spies like you, it may have just begun, so until we reach your village, we will not remove the seal on you.”
“Hmoh.” The spies snorted coldly when they heard this.
After everyone left the village, Dove and Crow led their people to separate to the two sides.
Originally, they could go all the way to the Land of Rain, and then, from the Land of Rain to the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth respectively, but now that the war in Land of Rain intensified, it would be inappropriate for Konoha, who had just regained peace, to go there at this time as it might cause misunderstandings, so they had to change the route.
The route of Dove’s group is to go to the Land of Rivers first, then across the country to reach the Land of Wind, while Crow’s group will go across the Land of Grass to the Land of Earth.
After separating, Dove and Kanpū’s group have a total of five Anbu and 13 Sunagakure’s spies. Five of them have been turned into idiots. Because these spies’ Chakra have been sealed, and then added to the live they experienced in Konoha Prison, the traveling speed of the group was not fast, and after five days, they only traveled a few hundred miles.
Kanpū proposed to hire some carriages, and when Dove heard this, he felt that it made sense. So he immediately dispatched Kanpū to go to nearby villages to hire three carriages. The 13 Sunagakure’s spies were fed up with walking, so of course they would not refuse to sit in a carriage.
Afterwards, Kanpū and his group escorted the three carriages on the road again.
When the carriage was far away, a figure walked out of the small village, and surprisingly, it was Kanpū.
