“From the scene, it appears that after Kanpū was brought here, then he fought against the mysterious Wood Release Shinobi. He used Five-Attributes Ninjutsu, Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, and even Flying Thunder God Technique, and here, these should be Garaga’s snake scales. Kanpū even summoned Ryuchi Cave’s snake for this battle, but unfortunately, he was ultimately defeated by Wood Release and forcibly taken away.”
According to the traces on the scene, Kakashi made a reasonable analysis.
“So, who exactly brought Kanpū here?”
Guy urgently asked, “And who is this mysterious Wood Release Shinobi? Kakashi, you must know, right?!”
“This is confidential information, Guy, stop asking.” Kakashi said sternly.
Guy exclaimed: “Kakashi, Kanpū might be in danger right now, don't use classified information to fool me!”
Kakashi sighed bitterly: “I do know a little about it, but…”
“But?” Guy glared at Kakashi angrily.
Kakashi relented, and said helplessly: “But I don’t know either.”
“Kakashi, what are you talking about?” Guy looked incredulous.“Guy, I'm not lying to you. I only found out ten days ago that Kanpū was working undercover in an organization called Abyss. This Abyss is very mysterious, and only Shinobi with Kekkei Genkai are recruited. As for where the Abyss’s Headquarters is, who the leader is, how many members there are, or who has this Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, I don't know any of that.” Kakashi said with bitter expression.
‘Abyss?’
‘Never heard of it.’
Guy blinked his eyes and asked, “Kakashi, since we know that it's Abyss that captured Kanpū, can't we just find this organization and save Kanpū?”
Kakashi smiled bitterly, shaking his head: “If it’s that simple, Minato-sensei doesn’t need to send us here.”
Itachi interjected with a question: “Since Captain Kanpū was undercover in Abyss, didn't he gather any useful intelligence?”
“I don’t know.” Kakashi replied.
“I don’t care!”
Guy clenched his fists in agitation and asked, “Kakashi, tell me where to go to save Kanpū?”
“Guy, Calm down!”
Kakashi grabbed Guy's arm and said heavily, “The trail ends here, and we have no way to continue tracking him.”
“But… Damn it!!”
Guy suddenly went into a rage, punching the ground and creating a huge crater.
Itachi furrowed his brows in contemplation, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. But with such scarce information, even he felt powerless.
Kakashi's gaze lowered as he said, “Let’s go back.”
It might seem like he wasn't affected, but having experienced his father's suicide, Obito's betrayal, Rin's death, and countless separations during the Third Great Ninja War, Kakashi had learned to conceal many emotions in his heart.
“I refuse to accept this!!” Guy roared loudly, then suddenly dashed towards the beach.
“Guy!”
Kakashi and Itachi hurriedly followed after him. When they reached the shore, they saw Guy biting his thumb and summoned a large turtle with red shell!
“Ningame, if it's you, you can definitely find clues!”
Guy pushed the turtle into the sea eagerly and urgently shouted, “Kanpū was captured a few days ago, so please look for the traces left by the enemy when they left.”
“It's rare for me to come out, yet you asked such crazy things from me.”
Ningame grumbled, “Guy, the sea is constantly in motion, even the scent left a minute ago will disappear the next second, let alone a few days ago!”
“How do you know if you don't try it?” Guy shouted.
Ningame still wanted to argue, but seeing Guy’s fierce expression, he reluctantly agreed: “Then, I will try.”
After Ningame went underwater and circled around the island of Land of Whirlpools, he naturally found nothing.
“That's enough, Guy, let's go back.”
Kakashi patted Guy’s shoulder, and said, “Maybe Minato-sensei has another way.”
After Guy dismissed Ningame, he bowed his head and followed with a somewhat dejected expression.
Itachi's face also carried some sadness; after all, Kanpū was his Captain.
…
Ten days later, Kakashi's team returned to Konoha and reported the mission process to Minato in Hokage’s Office.
After listening to Kakashi’s report, Minato fell silent. After a while, he said: “For the time being… define Kanpū as missing. Kakashi, Guy, Itachi, thank you for your hard work.”
“Hokage-sama, are we just going to give up like this? That abyss, can’t we just find its headquarters?” Ten days had passed, but Guy was still unwilling to give up
Minato glanced at Kakashi, then said: “Kanpū has been staying undercover in Abyss for many years, and he has indeed gathered a lot of secret intelligence, but very little of it is related to Abyss.”
“Hokage-sama.”
Itachi suddenly thought of something and said, “Since Abyss is so cautious, then how did Captain Kanpū communicate with abyss?”
“Ryōshi Tenkū, a Shinobi with Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai.” Minato said.
‘Ryōshi Tenkū?’
‘Such a strange name.’
Itachi then said: “Hokage-sama, as long as we capture this Ryōshi Tenkū, I can extract information about Abyss from him!”
Minato shook his head slightly. He knew that all Abyss’s members are in single-line contact, so even if they find Tenkū, it is impossible…
‘Huh?’
‘That’s right, Ryōshi Tenkū is Kanpū’s upline, then, who is Ryōshi Tenkū’s upline?’
‘And who is Ryōshi Tenkū’s upline’s upline?’
‘As long as we capture Ryōshi Tenkū, we can follow this line of inquiry. And ultimately, at the end of this line, it must be the leader of Abyss!’
‘And it’s not just Ryōshi Tenkū. As long as we find Hyuga Taki or Yuki Hyōketsu, we can also dig out Abyss’s leader in this way!’
At this moment, Minato’s mind suddenly became clear.
‘It’s just that… Itachi’s method is indeed feasible, but can Kanpū hold on until then?’
Minato shook his head and said: “Ryōshi Tenkū, Yuki Hyōketsu, and Hyuga Taki, these three people are all members of Abyss. I will immediately issue a high reward bounty for them! Itachi, thank you for your reminder!”
Itachi smiled slightly: ‘I thought Abyss was so mysterious, but it turns out there are so many members.’
Kakashi and Guy are also visibly relaxed at this moment.
Since they have found a way to save Kanpū, it now depends on whether Kanpū can hold on until then!
……
“No more, I can’t hold on anymore!!”
In the underground base below the Land of Iron's frozen soil, Kanpū lay on a wooden bed, with two stunning beauties massaging his back.
The appearance of these two beauties is exactly the same as two famous stars surnamed Liu in Kanpū's previous life. Of course, it's not that the two famous female stars have crossed over to this world too, but rather… they are Kanpū's shadow clones transformed. (T/N: The Author is talking about Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi. You guys can check their name on google if you want to know what they looked like.)
“Gently… be gentle.”
“Ah, a bit more~~~”
“Enough!”
Bang bang~!
With the light smoke, the two star-like beauties returned to Kanpū's appearance and angrily said: “I've seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as you!”
“To think you wouldn't even spare your own shadow clones, I'm ashamed to be associated with you!”
After they spoke, the two shadow clones exploded in shame right where they stood.
“I didn’t do anything.”
Kanpū felt frustrated, “I'm just feeling a little sore … Sigh, these shadow clones, day by day, I have no idea what they're thinking, their mindset is completely unhealthy!”
After saying this, he turned his head to look at the shadow clones who were generating electricity by hands, and gently asked, “You…”
Bang bang bang!
The lights went out, and the underground space instantly plunged into darkness.
