Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 766: Boiling The Frog in Warm Water

The earth was cracked and scorched black, and the forest fire raged. The air was filled with a scorching red heat, and looking around, countless paper cranes flapped their wings in the explosions, resembling a hellish scene.

“Leave it to me.”

Shisui took a deep breath. In the end, he has to bear all this!

“Brother Shisui!” Itachi removed his mask and said anxiously, “I'm coming with you!”

“Itachi, don’t worry, I'll be fine.” Shisui patted his shoulder, then turned to Tenzo and the others, and said, “You guys, be careful!”

“Vice-captain Shisui!”

“Vice-captain Shisui!”

“Why don't we retreat first? We're less than two hundred kilometers from the village, we…”

“It’s useless.” Shisui shook his head, “Konan can fly, so we can't outrun her. But don’t worry, I will defeat her!”

The forest fire continued to rage, and the scorching red heat was spreading madly. Countless paper cranes fell like wind with the red heat, surrounding Shisui.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Dozens of paper cranes that flew close suddenly exploded, and the surging shockwave instantly enveloped Shisui!

“Vice-captain?!”

“Shisui!”

Tenzo and the others are very anxious.

“Brother Shisui?!”

Itachi’s face changed drastically. Between life and death, intense emotions stimulated his brain like crazy. And in that instant, he felt like something in his mind was desperately trying to break free, and his black pupils unconsciously turned into the scarlet 3-Tomoe Sharingan.

However, the intense emotional stimulation was quickly cut off.

In the surging shockwave, a green flame rose up like a fire beacon, and turned into a huge green demon under everyone’s surprised, puzzled, and shocked eyes!

“What is that?”

Tenzo looked at this ‘monster’, which is more than 20 meters high, in horror.

“So big!”

“Look, vice-captain Shisui is inside!”

An extra suddenly pointed to the bottom of the demon.

Everyone looked at where he pointed at and indeed saw Shisui’s back.

“Let me end this.” Shisui looked at the red purgatory in front of him. The three-tomoes in his pupils has turned into a four-cornered pinwheel: Mangekyo Sharingan!

The huge green demon naturally shocked Konan in the distance.

‘Genjutsu?’

When Konan saw this scene, the first thought that came to her mind was Genjutsu.

However, she immediately shook her head slightly: ‘Whether it was a Genjutsu or not didn't matter.”

Under her money ability, any Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu will be useless!

Konan waved her sleeves and controlled the paper cranes in the air to fly towards Shisui.

The countless paper cranes in the sky were like dandelion seeds, falling abundantly and continuously onto the giant demon that is more than 20 meters tall. In the next moment, a terrifying explosion resounds through the sky!

A huge mushroom cloud rose with violent flames and dense smoke, soaring into the sky. The surging shockwave turned into a substantial wall of air, sweeping in all directions, lifting everything in its path, from trees, grass, soil, and even the ground!

Itachi, Tenzo and the others frantically retreated, but their eyes were fixed on the mushroom cloud.

“It’s useless!”

Shisui’s cold voice came from the mushroom cloud. He calmly watched the raging flames and surging waves outside the Susanoo, and his scarlet Sharingan were already filled with bloodshot veins. He took a deep breath, trying hard to endure the soreness and swelling in his eyes, and coldly shouted, “Susanoo: Tsukumo!”

The ribcage in front of Susanoo slowly opened in the flames, revealing a constantly rotating orange tomoe. Then, countless green chakra arrows were shot out!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Endless chakra arrows shot out from the flame-wrapped mushroom cloud like a green particle stream, obliterating the paper cranes blocking their way, exploding them on contact, and in an instant, they reached Konan!

“What?”

Konan's face changed slightly. And before she could react, she was turned into a sieve by the green particle stream.

However, the paper cranes in the air did not fall. Instead, they continued to fly towards the mushroom cloud where Shisui was, and then exploded!

Boom! Boom! Boom…

The terrifying shockwaves produced by the continuous explosion hit Susanoo one after another, but Shisui ignored it. He adjusted the direction of the green chakra arrows, and put everything in front of him within the attack range!

“It’s over…” Blood overflowed from Shisui’s eyes.

At this moment, the chakra arrows all over the sky are like a peacock spreading its tail, covering all the paper cranes in the air in an instant!

Boom!!!

With the deafening rumbling sound, almost all of the hundreds of thousands of paper cranes floating in the sky were simultaneously pierced and exploded by the chakra arrows!

A terrifying mushroom cloud silently rose, covering an area of several kilometers!

……

Twenty kilometers away.

Kanpū looked up at the dozens of missiles descending from the sky, shaking his head slightly: ‘The ability of the Six Paths of Pain seem mysterious and powerful, but once you understand them, it’s nothing.’

He designated five Sage Modes’s shadow clones to intercept the missiles with Konoha-Style -Slashing Wind. While the remaining twenty-five Sage Modes’s shadow clones continued to consume Deva Path Pain.

The Deva Path Pain at this time is extremely uncomfortable!

Because Sage Modes’s shadow clones’ 2.5-second interval were precisely timed for his techniques’ cooldown, causing a dilemma for him.

Deva Path Pain knows that he cannot fight a war of attrition and he needed to make a change, either by retreating, using a powerful move, or both!

But Konan is still fighting, so he must keep Kanpū here!

Then, should he use a powerful move?

Should he use a Super Shinra Tensei or Chibaku Tensei to wipe out Kanpū in one fell swoop?

Deva Path Pain shook his head. He felt that it was not worth it. Firstly, Kanpū has mastered the Space-Time Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, so these two moves might not kill him. Secondly, the cost of using these moves was too great. The vitality consumed by these moves is far more than Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten’in. Given his main body’s current physical condition, using them once might cost him several years of his life!

Of course, if Kanpū is a Jinchuriki, then Deva Path Pain would have definitely used them. But the key was, he wasn't!

Furthermore!

If Kanpū’s Sage Mode’s shadow clones were more aggressive, for example, if they reduced their attack interval to 1 second, then Deva Path Pain wouldn't be able to withstand such frequent assaults. And even if wanted to grit his teeth and use these two moves, fate had it that he got stuck at 2.5 seconds!

Instead of using Super Shinra Tensei or Chibaku Tensei, which would cost him several years of his life, he felt it’s better to continue dragging Kanpū like this until Konan received the information about Obito from Shisui.

Deva Path Pain floated in mid-air, repeatedly using Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten’in to destroy Kanpū’s Sage Mode’s shadow clones again and again, but for some reason, his heart became more and more irritable!

Kanpū couldn’t see anything from Deva Path Pain’s expression, but he knew that his little scheme had succeeded.

He knew that Nagato’s Rinnegan is actually Madara’s, so for Nagato, using the Rinnegan in battle would continuously drain his vitality. And only someone like him, a descendant of Uzumaki Clan, with a thick life bar, could withstand such consumption. If someone else were in his place, they would have been drained dry a long time ago!

Therefore, Kanpū instructed his Sage Mode’s shadow clones to maintain a 2.5-second attack interval, because, only at this frequency could they continuously pressure Deva Path Pain, forcing him to use Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten’in non-stop, so that his vitality will be continuously consumed without making Deva Path Pain feel desperate, preventing him from using great move.

That’s right, Kanpū seemed to be going easy, but in fact, he was actually boiling the frog in warm water, killing without a trace!
