Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 712: Gozu Tenno Is...

…

At midnight.

Under the torii of Naka Shrine, Danzo and Fugaku stood side by side, staring at each other.

On both sides of the climbing steps leading to the foot of the mountain under the torii gate, the dark tree shadows sway slightly in the night wind.

“Are you ready?” Danzo asked with hoarse voice.

Fugaku nodded: “You can start anytime.”

“Then…” Danzo waved his hand.

In the next instant, ten afterimages suddenly appeared in the dense forest on the left side of the climbing stairs. They disappeared under the moonlight and quickly penetrated into the dense forest on the right.

After a while, an extremely suppressed groan came from the dense forest on the right. The sound was full of pain, discomfort and frustration!

Danzo smiled and said nothing.

At this time, in the jungle on the right, ten Anbu’s Shinobi such as Shisui and the others, who disguised as Root’s Shinobi, are standing in a row, while the other ten Military Police Force’s elites wearing Uchiha’s attire had their backs to them and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Shisui stretched out his hand and pressed on the head of a clansman. He did nothing but heard the clansman humming incessantly, which makes the scene kind of strange.

After some time passed, Shisui and others stopped, and then turned into an afterimage and walked out of the dense forest, kneeling on one knee at the foot of the stairs.

“Hmph!” Fugaku snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Danzo glanced at him from the side and waved his ten ‘subordinates' away with satisfaction.

Fugaku finally couldn’t help it, and asked: “Danzo, what exactly does this mean?”

“Clan Head Fugaku only needs to provide Chakra. Don’t worry about the rest.”

As he said that, Danzo turned around and disappeared into the darkness, “Then, we’ll continue tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? How much more Chakra do you need?” Fugaku frowned.

“Of course the more the better…” Danzo’s figure finally disappeared into the darkness completely.

Fugaku walked into the jungle on the right side with a calm face. The ten subordinates were half lying on the ground weakly, but their eyes are shining when looking at Fugaku.

“Refine your Chakra for half an hour, and then go back.”

Fugaku said solemnly, “This matter must absolutely not be leaked!”

“Yes… “

The ten people agreed ‘weakly’.

……

At the same time.

In a cell under the Anbu’s Headquarters, the unconscious Yamano Ichiro was tied up with chains and hung in the air.

Beside him, an Anbu is doing an examination on his body.

As for the other nine Root’s Shinobi, they underwent the same examination in adjacent cells.

Minato, Eagle, Shikaku, Hiruzen, and Kanpū, who was called in the middle of the night, stood near the door and waited quietly.

As the examination progressed, Yamano Ichiro’s clothing became less and less, eventually revealing a complex pattern carved on his back!

‘Gozu Tenno?’

When Kanpū saw this pattern, his heart moved.

“Hokage-sama, Commander, Sandaime-sama, Shikaku-sama.”

After some time passed, the Anbu, who was in charge of the examination, turned around and reported, actively ignoring Kanpū, who is equal to him, and said, “Except for the pattern on his back, everything else is normal.”

At this time, the examination of the other nine cells has also been completed, and all the information presented is the same!

“Could it be that the secret of Gozu Tenno lies in this pattern?” Hiruzen took a few steps forward to observe Yamano Ichiro's bare back, and his cloudy pupils turned slightly solemn.

Minato then said: “Record this pattern first.”

“Yes!” The Anbu responded and immediately took out… camera and started taking pictures.

Kanpū’s face twitched when he saw this. He thought that the Anbu would take out a paper and pen to draw it down!

After taking some photos, the Anbu consciously withdrew from the cell, leaving the place to the four lords and Husky.

Shikaku stroked his chin as he looked at the complex pattern, and said thoughtfully: “Based on the information we have obtained before, if this pattern is the Gozu Tenno, how can Yamano Ichiro use a pattern to absorb Chakra?”

Even with IQ of 200+, Shikaku still can’t understand it.

Eagle walked over and pried open Yamano Ichiro's mouth, looked at the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal on his tongue, and shook his head slightly.

Kanpū glanced at it and thought to himself, ‘If I cut off his tongue, would it unlock the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal?’

‘At that time, even if he can’t speak, he can still write down the information by hand!’

Kanpū immediately asked Eagle, but Eagle shook his head and replied: “Although the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal is imprinted on the tongue, the power of the seal goes deep into the brain, so even if his tongue is cut off, the seal can’t be removed.”

“Is it some kind of technique formula?”

On the other side, the bold and careful Minato’s eyes lit up, and he began to try to use his own Chakra to communicate with the pattern on Yamano Ichiro's back. At the next moment, black and red Chakra tentacles full of evil aura suddenly drilled out of the pattern fiercely, and bit into Minato’s Chakra.

‘This is…’

Minato’s pupils shrank: ‘Yamano Ichiro’s Chakra has obviously been sealed, so why is the Chakra in his body still so active?’

‘No, this is not Yamano Ichiro’s Chakra!’

“I understand!”

Minato got enlightenment and suddenly realized something, then he excitedly said, “This is a kind of Summoning Technique!”

After thinking about it, Minato easily avoided the black and red Chakra tentacles.

“A kind of Summoning Technique?”

Kanpū cooperated very well with Minato, doing a ‘sudden realization’ gesture, and clapped his palms together excitedly, “So that’s how it is. This pattern communicates with a mysterious Summoned Beast that can absorb Chakra! Yamano Ichiro and the others use this Summoned Beast to absorb other people’s Chakra!”

At this time, the black red Chakra tentacles cannot bite Minato, so after hovering in midair for a while, it slowly retracted.

“Hokage-sama, if this is really Summoning Technique, can we communicate with the Summoned Beast behind it?” Eagle asked.

Shikaku frowned, and said: “I don’t recommend doing this! Everyone, the existence of Biju greatly affects the situation of Shinobi World. If this kind of Summoned Beast can continue to absorb other people’s Chakra, it will grow all the way to Biju-Level. Then, whether it is our Konoha’s Shinobi or other Shinobi Villages’ Shinobi, or even Rogue Shinobi, they will definitely sign a blood contract with this Summoned Beast, and then crazily absorb other people’s Chakra to grow their own Summoned Beast! If this happens, there will probably be countless more disputes in the Shinobi World!”

After all, not many Shinobi can resist the temptation of signing a summoning contract with a Biju-level existence!

As experienced and knowledgeable old man, Hiruzen is the first one to nod in agreement with Shikaku's words.

Although Kanpū didn’t care about it, since Shikaku and Hiruzen have both suggested this, he naturally will not refute them.

At any rate, this self-destruct type Summoned Beast like Nue is useless to him.

Minato thought about it carefully, and finally nodded in approval of Shikaku’s words, and said: “In this case, let’s seal the Gozu Tenno!”

“Yes!” Eagle silently sighed and nodded in agreement.
