Chapter 883: Sowing Discord
Seeing Ao here, Kanpū raised an eyebrow, ‘When did this guy arrive?’
‘Didn’t Mei say that he was training the 800,000 Forbidden Army in Kirigakure?’
‘That’s right, the Joint Chunin Exams is about to begin.’
“Gekko Kanpū?” When Ao saw the incoming person, he subconsciously thought of the Konoha Crush Plan, and he immediately felt somewhat guilty.
The two stared at each other for a long time, then both laughed with fake smiles.
“Hehehe, what’s wrong with your eyes?” Ao didn’t know what to say.
“Hehehe, I'm wearing colored contacts.” Kanpū said with a fake smile, “I'm here to see Terumi Mei.”
“Hehehe, she is taking a nap.” Ao also replied with a fake smile.
‘Konoha Crush Plan is about to begin, and soon, the relationship between Kirigakure and Konoha will drop to a freezing point. I can’t let have any more contact with Gekko Kanpū!’
But who knew that someone would be so shameless and said with a fake smile: “Hehehe, perfect, I'll sleep with her.”“Hehehe, that's not appropriate.” Aoi was furious, feeling like punching someone.
The two of them fake smiled outside for a while, and finally woke up Mei, who was taking a nap: “You two bastards, can't you let people sleep in peace?!”
“Ao, look at what you have done!” Kanpū decisively stood by Mei’s side and blamed Ao righteously.
“I…” Ao felt wronged, frustrated, and guilty, with a complex expression as he looked at Mei coming out of the bedroom. For a moment, he didn't know what to say while.
Kanpū took this opportunity to pass by Ao to come to Mei’s side, and said: “Let’s go in and talk.”
Bang!
Closing the bedroom door, the world quieted down.
“Where have you been for the past six months?” Mei crossed her arms near her chest, looking expressionlessly at Kanpū’s eyes, then asked, “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
“This…” Kanpū said in hesitation, ‘Should I tell the ‘truth’ or make up something?’
“Hmph, forget it if you don't want to say.” Mei huffed with anger and sat down on the side.
Before Kanpū disappeared, he used to come every night to drink and chat with Mei, even pretending to be drunk to test each other's feelings. If it weren't for Kanpū’s sudden disappearance, the child’s embryo might have been two months old by now!
“Sighed!”
Kanpū sighed for a long time, and said, “This was supposed to be a secret, I shouldn’t say…”
“If you shouldn't say it, then don't say it!” Mei’s temper flared up, then she pouted and turned her head away.
Kanpū quickly approached and continued: “But if it is you, I don’t want to hide it.”
Mei remained expressionless, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart, just a little bit.
“I was captured by someone and used as a live test subject on a bed for six months. My eyes became like this because of the experiment.” Kanpū said in a low voice.
“Are you making a joke?” Mei’s first reaction was disbelief.
There was no way, in her perception, Kanpū wouldn’t be so weak to be captured by someone!
But when she carefully observes Kanpū’s facial expression, she felt that he didn't seem like he was lying.
And his eyes are not just as simple as genetic mutations.
“Really captured?” Mei’s voice suddenly lowered, and the harmonious scene of Kanpū being pierced with needles and prodded with sticks on the bed appeared on her mind.
Then, she realized that she couldn’t ask any more, because that would hurt Kanpū's dignity as a man!
“It’s okay, it's all in the past now.” Kanpū waved his hand dejectedly, then decisively changed the subject, “By the way, when did Ao arrive?”
Mei said, “He came shortly after you disappeared.”
“He… wasn't he supposed to be helping Elder Genji with the elite training in Kirigakure? Why would he suddenly come to our village?” Kanpū said vaguely.
Mei sensed the hidden meaning in his words, then glared at him fiercely, and said: “It is said that the Joint Chunin Exams is about to start, so the village sent him to lead the way.”
Kanpū insinuated, “With you here, why would they still need to send someone specifically?”
‘Because they didn’t treat me as their own…’ Terumi shook her head to get rid of this desperate guess, and said: “I don’t know.”
“In fact… we've recently discovered some suspicious signs.” Kanpū quickly found out that Mei didn't know about the Konoha Crush Plan, so he quickly stirred up some trouble.
“What signs?” Mei also felt that something was amiss, such as Ao would show subconscious symptoms of guilty conscience whenever he faced her.
“Kirigakure and Sunagakure… are cooperating.” Kanpū said in a low voice, “They seem to be plotting something behind the scenes.”
Mei’s pupils shrank, and she instantly thought of the Joint Chunin Exams that is about to begin.
‘Are these two Shinobi Villages preparing for this Chunin Exams…’
Kanpū continued, “Don’t worry, it's just speculation for now. Hopefully, we're just overthinking it. But rest assured, you are you, and Kirigakure is Kirigakure. I will never let you be in a difficult situation!”
Mei didn’t speak, and just frowned and pondered.
‘If Kirigakure really teamed up with Sunagakure, then there would definitely be a big event in this Joint Chunin Exams.’
‘And Ao… After returning to the village a few years ago, he was appointed as the instructor for the three thousand elite Shinobi. Now that he suddenly came to Konoha, it was very likely that he brought those three thousand elite Shinobi with him!’
‘The village must have formulated some big plan with Sunagakure!’
Mei’s heart sank, ‘Ao obviously knows about this plan!’
‘But he didn’t tell me the plan, that’s why he had a guilty conscience when facing me!’
‘Why didn’t he tell me the plan?’
‘Does he know that if the plan fails, I might be taken by Konoha…’
‘No, it was Elder Genji who ordered him not to tell me…’ Mei suddenly felt cold, as if falling into the cold abyss.
“Mei, Mei?” Seeing that she did not respond, Kanpū quietly went over to give her a nudge.
Mei didn't get angry and said: “I want to be alone.”
“Okay, if you need anything, remember to find me. Oh, and…”
Kanpū suddenly took out a wooden bead bracelet and said, “This is for you.”
‘I bought it on the way here, two strings for one hundred Ryo, one for you and one for me, perfect!’
“Thank you.” Mei took the wooden bead bracelet and looked down at it blankly, thinking of Kanpū’s companionship over the years, thinking about the ostracism and vigilance in the village towards her, feeling a bit hopeless and moved as she put it on her right hand.
When she looked up, she realized that Kanpū had left.
Mei feels lost.
