Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 842: You Didn't Ask My Name

Kanpū brought Itachi to find Shikuro. After bidding farewell, they set off for the border.

After crossing a small hill, they saw a vast expanse of green grassland ahead, with rolling mountains further in the distance.

The border between Land of Hot Water and Land of Fire runs through the middle of this grassland.

‘After many years, this grassland is still green as ever!’

Kanpū sighed silently.

Many years ago, when Kanpū was still in Team 2, he once went to Yugakure to deliver a letter. On the way back, they were chased by Kumogakure’s Shinobi until this point. In the end, thanks to Konoha’s Shinobi who were stationed at the border, they managed to escape.

Kanpū couldn’t confirm whether the border Shinobi who had saved him were still stationed in the border or not, because… did not remember the names or appearances of those border Shinobi.

Kanpū bashfully lowered his head, and as a light breeze blew, it felt like the shyness of a water lily unable to withstand the cool wind.

“Captain?” Seeing Kanpū stop, Itachi couldn’t help but look towards him strangely.

“Cough, let’s go.” Kanpū’s expression returned to normal, and his figure flickered into an afterimage, rushing towards the grassland.

Itachi quickly followed, and the two galloped on the grassland one after the other, like two white waves breaking through the green sea, swiftly passing through the border.

“Captain, there's an ambush ahead!” Itachi suddenly reminded.

“Where?” Kanpū’s Sensor Ninjutsu isn’t good, so he didn’t find anything.

“Right in front… under your feet, Captain, be careful!”

As the two were talking, they had advanced another kilometer and had entered the ambush of Kumogakure’s Shinobi.

Boom!

Thunder exploded, and countless azure thunders burst out from the ground like earthworms, enveloping Kanpū and Itachi in an instant.

Itachi leaped lightly, quickly forming hand signs.

Boom!

Light smoke exploded, then dozens of crows cawed and flew away, carrying Itachi into the air.

Meanwhile, Kanpū uses Body Flicker Technique to move a hundred meters away, instantly rushing out of the ‘sea of thunder’.

“Good reflex!” An indifferent voice came from not far away, “But it ends here.”

As the voice, numerous figures jumped out from all directions, completely surrounding Kanpū and Itachi.

Kanpū felt very uncomfortable upon seeing this: ‘A bunch of small fries dared to stop me. Hmph, it’s fine if you don't know Itachi, but you don’t even know me?’

‘Absolutely audacious!’

“Captain, what should we do?” Itachi, riding on the crows, flew to Kanpū’s side and slowly descended.

“Itachi, what is our purpose for coming here?” Kanpū asked.

“Enter Yugakure, negotiate with Kumogakure’s Shinobi, find out the cause of Kumogakure’s abnormal movement, and rescue our companions detained by Kumogakure’s Shinobi.” Itachi said concisely.

Kanpū nodded in approval: “So…”

“So?” Itachi looked at Kanpū a little nervously, because the surrounding Kumogakure’s Shinobi are getting closer and closer!

“So, let's not talk, but take action if we can!”

Although I'm Naruto's teacher and you're Sasuke's brother, I really don’t know how to use Talk-no-Jutsu and you don’t know how to be arrogant like Sasuke!

Kanpū drew out the Kusanagi Sword: “Konoha-Style -Thunder Dance!”

Boom!

Lightning Attribute Chakra pours into the talk like a spring, igniting a dazzling lightning. Kanpū instantly turned into an afterimage and began to harvest wildly.

The densely distributed, fine lightning of the Kusanagi Sword cut through the bodies of the Kumogakure’s Shinobi, flesh and lightning friction produced a harsh and piercing sound.

“Bastard!”

“Kill them!!”

The Kumogakure’s Shinobi are furious and attacked with full power!

“Cloud-Style – Flame Slash!”

“Cloud-Style – Water Storm Slash!”

“Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!”

“Lightning-Style: Dynamic Lightwave!”

Biubiubiu…

Kanpū, who had turned into an afterimage, was stunned, as if by an electric shock, and he stumbled for a moment and almost fell flat on the ground!

‘Who?’

‘Who is using the Dynamic Lightwave!!’ (T/N: Kanpu is talking about this song: /watch?v=Ew2i1hkBX68)

Kanpū, as if facing a great enemy, lightly leaped over the thunder beams, which were as fast as bullets, and glanced to the side, only to see a middle-aged man around forty madly forming hand seals. The brilliant blue lightning, like lasers, shot out from his palm.

‘How dare an old man like you used Dynamic Lightwave?’

‘Go!’

Kanpū used Body Flicker Technique to appear behind him, and the Kusanagi Sword dragged out a blue lightning curtain in the air, taking away the middle-aged Kumogakure’s Shinobi in one strike.

On the other end, Itachi also took action boldly. His flashy kunai throwing technique rained down like snowflakes among the torrential thunderstorm, hitting and killing three Kumogakure’s Shinobi who couldn't dodge in time by a miraculous chance.

“Damn it, it’s Uchiha Clan’s kunai throwing technique!” An experienced Kumogakure’s Shinobi recognized Itachi's origin at a glance, and roared angrily, “Watch out for his Sharingan!”

Itachi, whose identity had just been exposed, was unperturbed, solely focusing on throwing kunai. At the same time, black crows were cawing and flying everywhere. Some unfortunate ones being hit by the lightning, their black feathers falling like drifting snowflakes.

The black feathers lightly fluttered down, one, two, three, four …

The Kumogakure’s Shinobi, who were fighting fiercely and focusedly, suddenly drawn to these feathers as if by some magical force. Just like how a beautiful girl passing by on the street would unconsciously make them turn their heads.

Then…

Pfft pfftt pfftt!

Another three kunai claimed the lives of three Kumogakure’s Shinobi, spattering blood and dyed the grassland red.

“Not good, this is Genjutsu!”

A Kumogakure’s Shinobi, who has rich experience, jumped out and shouted, “These feathers are the tools he's using for his Genjutsu. Don't look at the feathers on the ground!!!”

“Then where should you look?” Itachi’s voice drifted lightly.

The Kumogakure’s Shinobi looked towards the sound, and saw a pair of 3-Tomoe Sharingan, emitting a bright red light that grew larger and larger, gradually occupying his entire field of vision!

At the next moment, the world became quiet.

He stood there blankly, as if immersed in an ethereal world, thoughtless and detached, his companions' angry roars wash over him. A kunai glided past his throat, and then the world fell into darkness.

“What the hell is going on with this guy?!”

“Why can’t I dodge the kunai he throws?”

“Damn it!”

“Stop looking at the feathers on the ground!!”

“Close your eyes quickly!”

The Kumogakure’s Shinobi were in a panic, screaming and shouting. To avoid the feathers from attracting their attention, many Kumogakure’s Shinobi closed their eyes and chose to deduce Itachi’s attacks by their hearing.

But the kunai thrown by Itachi collided wildly in midair, in twos or even in threes, producing a continuous, crisp clanging sound, which completely disrupted their hearing!

Unable to bear the pressure, some of the Kumogakure’s Shinobi screamed and used their Lightning Release Ninjutsu with closed eyes. But they had completely lost their accuracy, so many Lightning Release Ninjutsu directly hit their own comrades!

Amidst the piercing wails, Itachi easily reaped the lives of the Kumogakure’s Shinobi as if he is a Shinigami.

Kanpū, who was harvesting Kumogakure’s Shinobi on the other side, turned around and was taken aback, ‘Good Lord, Itachi's speed in killing people is no less than mine!’

‘The combination of Sharingan’s Genjutsu and Uchiha Clan’s kunai throwing technique is nothing short of a harvester against the small fries!’

“Stop, stop!!”

The Kumogakure’s Shinobi who had spoken earlier saw the situation was not good and quickly shouted, “Damned Konoha’s Shinobi, enough! Tell us your purpose!!!”

“No way!”

Kanpū flatly refused his request, “Because… you didn’t ask my name just now!”
