Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

Chapter 751: This Is How Abyss And Akatsuki Should Be Like

Kanpū clapped its hands, and soon, Taki, ōmadara, and Hyōketsu surrounded him.

Tagorihime glanced at the three people, and with a smiling face, she handed a scroll sealed with five hundred crystals to Kanpū, and said: “Kanpū, don’t forget the reward.”

After saying that, Tagorihime dissipated into smoke with a ‘bang’.

‘Females, always about money, money, money.’

Kanpū put the sealing scroll into his arms angrily, but his eyes were fixed on the white snake.

After the white snake crawled out of Kimimaro’s mouth, it slowly opened its mouth and a wet Orochimaru crawled out.

“Orochimaru, you are really something else.” Kanpū couldn't help but smirk, he didn’t expect Orochimaru would be crawling into someone's belly.

Orochimaru looked at Kanpū expressionlessly, he was in a very bad mood this time!

To be honest, Orochimaru had considered that he would be discovered, such as by the mysterious leader of the Abyss, but he didn’t expect that he would be discovered before he even saw the Abyss’s base!

“Gekko Kanpū!”

Orochimaru stared coldly at Kanpū, Taki, ōmadara, and Hyōketsu. With one against four, he did not have the slightest odds of winning!

“You dare to play tricks in front of us, Orochimaru, you're done for, even God can’t save you, I guarantee it!” ōmadara stared with both eyes, and his pitch-black pupils suddenly transformed into the 3-Tomoe Sharingan.

Orochimaru reacted quickly, immediately squinted his eyes and not bothering to look at him.

“Everyone, I just want to meet the leader of Abyss. I have no intention of being an enemy of the Abyss.” Orochimaru said gloomily.

This body is disposable, and there's nothing to regret if he lost it. But if possible, Orochimaru still wanted to save himself.

As for Kimimaro…

If Kimimaro died due to his involvement, Orochimaru would not feel a pity, because Kimimaro already has terminal illness and was not far from death.

If Kimimaro is not dead, or even rescued by the leader of the Abyss, that would be even better. With Kimimaro’s loyalty to him, Orochimaru believes that he would surely come back for him!

As for whether Kimimaro would betray him, Orochimaru thought just to be safe, he decided to remove all the information Kimimaro knows about their bases, such as the base of the northern islands.

These thoughts flashed quickly through Orochimaru’s mind.

“Want to meet our leader?”

Kanpū said with a chuckle, “Even I am not qualified to meet him, and you think you do?”

Orochimaru’s pupils shrank when he heard this: ‘Gekko Kanpū is not qualified to see the leader of the Abyss?’

‘Was he lying?’

According to Orochimaru's earlier speculations, Kanpū, as a as a double agent, must have a significant position in both Konoha and the Abyss, otherwise, how could he manage to have influence on both sides?

Orochimaru even suspected that Kanpū might be utilizing resources from both Konoha and the Abyss for training, otherwise, how could his strength improve so fast?

Orochimaru looked at Kanpū suspiciously.

Seeing Orochimaru’s expression, Kanpū felt a wave of disgust, ‘I really didn’t like talking to this bastard. The more I said, the more mistakes I will make. Forget it, let’s just eliminate him first!’

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

Crackle!

A deep blue lightning suddenly burst, and Kanpū instantly turned into an afterimage, swiftly descending in front of Orochimaru carrying the lightning sword, and then swung his sword down.

As soon as Kanpū took action, the rest of them also acted decisively.

“Ice Release: Ice Crystal Dragon!”

Hyōketsu called out two huge ice dragons, entwining towards Orochimaru from the left and right.

Taki rushed forward with the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

ōmadara is standing still, but his Sharingan is bright and piercing. As long as he glimpsed an opportunity, he could implant a Genjutsu into Orochimaru’s eyes.

Facing the siege of four people, Orochimaru remained extremely calm, carefully assessing the situation. With his flexible and boneless movements, he dodged Kanpū’s Thunder Dance, used his palm to withstand Taki’s Gentle Fist, summoned a giant snake to entangle the ice dragons, and actively avoided eye contact with ōmadara.

Occasionally grazed by Kanpū’s Thunder Dance, Orochimaru can still use the Body Revival Technique to instantly recover. For a time, Orochimaru is one enemy four and embarks on the peak of life!

While fighting, Kanpū observed Taki, Hyōketsu and ōmadara. Said: “Hey, can’t you all be serious?!”

“You're not giving your full effort either.” Taki retorted.

Hyōketsu shrugged: “Didn't you see me entangling Orochimaru’s Summoned Beast?”

ōmadara said: “I've been trying to find an opportunity too.”

Kanpū became furious and looked at Orochimaru, only to find him showed enlightened look.

Kanpū was a little panicked: ‘What the hell does he know now?!’

At this moment, Orochimaru did make a significant discovery!

‘It turns out that the inside of the Abyss is not all united!’

Orochimaru was surprised. No wonder he, just a clone, could stand up against four opponents using only Taijutsu and summoning. It turns out these four guys are ‘distrusting’ each other and holding back!

Thinking about how he and Taki had never went all out during missions, Orochimaru smiled disdainfully: ‘This is how Abyss and Akatsuki should be like!’

‘As long as the Abyss is not completely united, he has a chance to exploit the divisions!’

‘Of course, this opportunity excludes the double agent, Gekko Kanpū!’

The more Orochimaru thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he fought, the more comfortable he felt.

However, after a while, he was ultimately overwhelmed by Kanpū’s attacks and taken down in a series of blows.

Although Orochimaru desperately wanted to use the Skin Molting and Body Revival Technique for another round, it was a pity that he was ‘frozen’ by Hyōketsu and turned cold.

“Just now…”

Kanpū sheathed the Kusanagi Sword and about to fiercely criticize them, but was interrupted by Hyōketsu who said, “We intentionally held back just now to create an illusion of internal discord, deceiving Orochimaru.”

‘Is that so?’

Kanpū looked skeptical: ‘Are you sure you weren't just slacking off?’

But since it was his own shadow clone, he didn't say anything about it.

Kanpū snorted and took out the scroll in his pocket, tossing it to Hyōketsu, indicating for him to return to the underground base under the frozen soil of Land of Iron, so that the shadow clone could recharge it.

“Well then, I'll head back first.” Taki didn't want to do the grunt work, and now that the Abyss’s matters are settled, he was ready to continue with Akatsuki's mission. He would join Orochimaru in guarding outside Konoha Village, waiting for Mei’s appearance.

‘It’s really interesting. Just a moment ago, we were fighting Orochimaru fiercely, and now, I am going to cooperate with him.’

Taki smirked mischievously as he left.

Now, only Kanpū, ōmadara, Hyōketsu and the unconscious Kimimaro remained on the hillside.

“What's the plan?” ōmadara asked.

Without Taki’s Byakugan monitoring the surroundings, Kanpū didn't dare to be careless. He pointed to the sky and said: “Let’s go to the sky first.”

Hyōketsu immediately activated Sage Mode and used Ice Release to create ice flows that lifted the four of them into the night sky.

Once they reached high altitude, Kanpū pondered and said: “I will go back to Yondaime and ask for Fuinjutsu. You guys watch over him… Wait, Kimimaro should know some secrets of Orochimaru. ōmadara, before erasing his memory, you can use Genjutsu to torture him first.”

“No problem.”

ōmadara decisively woke up Kimimaro, and then a Sharingan’s Genjutsu pulled him into the Genjutsu world.

Although Shikotsumyaku’s combat strength is very strong, but Kimimaro, whose chakra was sealed, is like a toothless tiger, completely at the mercy of ōmadara, who could act recklessly!

It’s a pity that Kimimaro’s willpower was exceptionally strong. No matter how ōmadara tortured him, he remained silent.

After that, ōmadara changed his strategy and prepared various scenes where Kimimaro and Orochimaru meet in the Genjutsu world. Unfortunately, Kimimaro, who had learned from his mistakes, became alert at the critical moments every time, infuriating ōmadara almost to the point of exploding on the spot.

“I can't do anything more.” ōmadara worked tirelessly for most of the night, and with dawn approaching, he decided to stop.

Kanpū has a lot of insights on torture, but when faced with someone like Kimimaro, who regards Orochimaru as his belief, he could only helplessly accept the situation.

“Keep an eye on him for now.”

Kanpū said, “Later, I'll consult the Yamanaka clan for guidance on Mind Reading Technique. Instead of interrogating, I'll directly extract information from his mind.”

As for whether Yamanaka Clan’s Mind Reading Technique will cause damage to Kimimaro’s brain, Kanpū doesn’t care. After all, he intended to erase Kimimaro’s memory, so a little damage wouldn't matter.
