Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 859: Bounty of One Billion

It’s very easy for a person’s life to be lonely and empty, especially spending all day underground, unable to see the sun. That oppressive feeling can drive people to the brink of collapse!

Fortunately, Kanpū's shadow clones are good-looking, pleasant to talk to, seductive in figure, and sexy in clothing. Unfortunately, they have some misunderstanding about Transformation Technique, always treating it as gender transformation, which Kanpū doesn't mind too much, but… “Sigh!”

‘So tired!’

As the days went by, the red stardust, the representation of the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai in Kanpū's mind, increased day by day.

Finally, on the last day of the 59th year of Konoha, Kanpū gathered forty-nine pieces of Byakugan Kekkei Genkai red stardust.

Under Kanpū's nervous gaze, the forty-nine red stardust slowly began to rotate and entwine with each other, like a group of red fireflies attracting each other.

‘Has it started to merge?’

Kanpū carefully sensed it and indeed found that these red stardust were approaching and merging with each other, but the process was a bit slow.

Kanpū had no choice but to lie on the wooden bed and wait quietly.

Land of Fire.

Konoha.

Gekko Mansion.

Keiko, Hoshino, Hayate, and Karin are having New Year’s Eve dinner. Without Kanpū, the family of four… ate exceptionally well!

In less than half an hour, they finished all the sumptuous dishes prepared by Keiko this afternoon.

“I'm going to play with Hinata.” Karin wiped her mouth clean and directly climbed over the wall to play next door.

“I'm going for a walk.” Hayate burped, wrapped himself in his padded coat, and went out to find Yugao.

Keiko shook her head and sighed, cleaning up while gently looking at Hoshino: “These children… in the end, only the two of us are left.”

“Uh… I have an appointment with Tabako-chan’s grandfather to play chess tonight, haha, Keiko…” Hoshino stood up reservedly.

“…” Keiko choked silently.

Outside the mansion.

After Hayate and Yugao met up, they walked aimlessly along the snow-covered road.

“Yugao, is there any news about Big brother from Anbu?” Hayate asked softly.

Yugao shook her head slightly: “No, but…”

“But what?” Hayate’s expression tightened.

When he first heard that his big brother was missing, Hayate was not nervous at all. But now, it's New Year's Eve. Not only did his big brother not return, but there was also no news at all, so he couldn't help but worry.

Yugao took out a small notebook from her pocket and handed it to Hayate.

Hayate took a look and found that it was a list of Shinobi World’s Missing-nin’s wanted bounty. His face changed instantly: ‘Could it be that Big brother has defected?’

‘Sigh, Big brother was unruly when he was young, bullying me every day, it's no wonder he turned bad when he grew up… I should have thought of it earlier.’

Hayate thought as he flipped through it, but he couldn't find Kanpū's face from start to finish.

“Isn't Big brother here?” Hayate looked towards Yugao in surprise.

“What are you talking about? I asked you to look at the first three people.” Yugao pouted.

“Oh oh.”

Hayate flipped back to the beginning again, and the first wanted bounty Missing-nin is Hyuga Taki.

‘Hyuga Clan?’

‘Probably defected because of the Caged Bird.’

Flipping to the second, it was Yuki Hyōketsu.

‘A member of Kirigakure’s Yuki Clan.’

The third one is called Ryōshi Tenkū, Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai Shinobi.

‘This kind of Kekkei Genkai belongs to Iwagakure.’

‘Yugao asked me to look at these three, but what does these people have to do with Big brother?’

Hayate looked towards girlfriend with puzzled expression.

“Their bounties.” Yugao reminded.

‘Bounties?’

Hayate lowered his head and looked again, his pupils immediately shrank: ‘Ryōshi Tenkū’s bounty… One billion?’

As he flipped back to the front, he found that both Hyōketsu and Taki’s bounties are one billion!

‘These bounties are too exaggerated, aren't they?’

Yugao said: “Every half month, Hokage-sama increases the bounties on these three individuals, and they are simultaneously posted on every black market. If I guess right, Big brother Kanpū's disappearance must be related to them.”

“That means, as long as we find them, we can find out about Big brother's disappearance?” Hayate showed thoughtful look and asked, “Yugao, do you have any information on their whereabouts?”

Yugao said: “There have been Rogue Shinobi in the black market who discovered the whereabouts of Yuki Hyōketsu. Unfortunately, when the Anbu rushed over, nothing was found.”

“I see.” Hayate frowned tightly.

“Hayate, if there's any news, I'll inform you immediately.” Yugao said, holding his hand.

“Thank you.”

……

As the two of them left, a figure emerged from behind a nearby telephone pole. It was none other than Hoshino.

Under the dim moonlight, Hoshino’s expression seemed somewhat melancholic, but it is not surprising. After all, he is an old Shinobi, and he can guess one or two things from Hayate’s expression when Kanpū was mentioned.

But even if he guessed, so what?

He could only pretend to know nothing.

‘Sigh.’

Hoshino shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

……

Early the next morning.

On the first day of Konoha’s 60th year, Naruto, Keiko’s grandson, knocked on the gate early in the morning: “Grandma Keiko, has Kanpū-sensei come back?”

“Not yet.”

Keiko let Naruto in and kindly asked, “Naruto, have you eaten?”

“This… I've eaten.” Naruto lied with his azure-blue eyes wide open, then dared not look directly at Keiko’s kind eyes. He quickly ran inside, shouting, “I’m going to find Karin!”

Finding Karin, Naruto went to the next door and called Hinata out as well. After the three of them gathered, they went to have breakfast nearby and then headed to the southern river for training!

On the way, the sly fox inside Naruto couldn't help but speak up: “Naruto, you obviously like Sakura so much, but you can only train with Karin and Hinata. It’s so sad!”

“It's none of your business, stinky fox!” Naruto muttered in his heart.

“In fact, what Gekko Kanpū said was not wrong. As long as you reach the peak of the Shinobi World, you can easily get Sakura.”

Kurama said persuasively, “As long as you accept me, you can easily obtain power surpassing that of the Kage! By then, are you still afraid that Sakura won't like you?”

“I will stand on the top of the Shinobi World with my own strength!”

Naruto said firmly, “I absolutely won't use any power that doesn't belong to me!”

“Don't be so stubborn.” Kurama grumbled dissatisfiedly, “Naruto, for you, rather than borrowing the power of others, losing Sakura should be the most unacceptable thing, right?”

‘Losing Sakura…’ Naruto couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he thought of Sakura and Sasuke's constant flirting.

‘It's too painful.’

‘Too suffocating.’

‘I, Namikaze-child of Hokage -Naruto can’t stand this grievance!’

Kurama immediately sensed the negative emotions in Naruto's heart and became excited: “Naruto, don't hesitate anymore. We have been closely connected since the day you were born, are you still afraid that I will harm you?”

“Afraid!” Naruto said straightforwardly.

‘You bastard…’ Kurama took a deep breath, continuing to bewitch: “But don't forget, you still have your parents. If I show any signs of misbehavior, they will surely find out about it and stop me in time, so you really have nothing to worry about!”

“I need to think about it some more.” Naruto frowned, refusing to give in.

More than an hour later, the three of them arrived at the gentle section of the river.

As soon as they approached, Naruto felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

On the river in the distance, Sasuke and Sakura are standing on it hand in hand.
