Konoha's gate.
"We're finally back!"
After Iwagakure's Shinobi's attack, Kanpū's group of five rushed back to the village, and finally returned to the village another seven days' travel!
After reporting at the gate of the village, the group of five went straight to the Hokage Tower's mission hall.
The five people walked through the streets, and saw that everything in the village was as usual, with people moving around, but the atmosphere seemed to be getting more and more solemn.
At this moment, a Shinobi wearing Uchiha's attire passed by in front of them. Shisui around and glanced at the clan emblem behind the person's back, and his brows furrowed sharply: "Something's wrong!"
"What's the matter?" Kanpū stopped, turned to look at Shisui, then looked at the Uchiha who was walking away, and asked with confusion, "Is that person not your Uchiha Clan?"
"Not that." Shisui shook his head with a grim face.
"The number of patrols has decreased!"
Shikuro suddenly said, "During the war, the number of Military Police Force patrols must be at least a three-person group!"
Kanpū was a little puzzled: "How do you know that he is from the Military Police Force? Maybe he's just an ordinary Uchiha clansman passing by."
"Look carefully at the Uchiha Clan's emblem behind him." Shikuro said.
Kanpū squinted his eyes and didn't feel that anything was wrong, but when he looked towards the Uchiha Clan's emblem on Shisui's back, and compared them, he immediately found the difference between the two!
The Uchiha Clan's emblem on Shisui's back is a simple 'Poke Ball', and the 'Poke Ball' on that Uchiha's back has a dark shuriken pattern!
"That's an emblem that only the official members of the Military Police Force have." Shikuro said.
Kanpū nodded, but his scalp tightened immediately.
'The reduction in the number of Military Police Force patrols can only show one thing, that is, they are understaffed. But, what is the cause that Military Police Force to be understaffed?'
'Don't tell me… Kirigakure's Shinobi invaded?'
A thought flashed through Kanpū's mind, then he turned his head and looked towards Shisui.
Shisui's expression looked very complicated, nervous, worried, scared, anxious…
Kanpū patted his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, old thief Fukken… "
'What will happen to him?'
'He will definitely die.'
Kanpū didn't know what to say for a while.
"Anyway, let's first go to the mission hall to hand in the mission. Maybe things are not as bad as we thought." Kanpū said.
Shisui nodded.
Kikuchi next to them was a little excited. After all, if Kirigakure's Shinobi does invade, the price of the Ninja Tools in the village will increase again… Although thinking this way is a bit bad for the village.
When they arrived at the mission hall, Kikuchi took the initiative to raise the Mission Rank to B-Rank, and after paying the B-Rank commission, he hurriedly said goodbye to Kanpū and the others.
Then, Shikuro handed over the mission scroll, mission log, and the scroll in Kanpū's hand that sealed two Iwagakure's Shinobi's corpses, and then they divided the commission money and part ways.
"Then, we will take a day off. And gather here at seven o'clock the day after tomorrow! Shisui, if something happens, remember to contact me."
Shikuro said, "Okay, Disband!"
When the words fell, Shisui couldn't wait to use Body Flicker Technique and disappeared.
But Kanpū stayed in place.
Shikuro then looked at Kanpū.
Although Shikuro didn't speak, although Kanpū could not see his expression, although Kanpū could not understand his eyes, Kanpū still understood what he meant: Why are you still not leaving?
"Shikuro-sensei, that…" Kanpū rubbed his hands together.
Shikuro was confused.
Seeing that he had forgotten, Kanpū reminded him shyly: "Sensor Ninjutsu…"
"Oh… I almost forgot."
Shikuro nodded slightly, and said, "At night, I will get my shadow clone come to you."
"Thank you, Shikuro-sensei!"
Kanpū breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered something.
He had made an agreement with Kikuchi before, that when they returned to the village, he would buy a sealing scroll with a larger storage capacity from him, but now that Kikuchi had already left, and Kanpū didn't know where to go to look for him, so in the end, he ultimately have to depend on his Shikuro-sensei for this matter.
"Shikuro-sensei, please sell me one of your sealing scrolls, the bigger one!" Kanpū said.
Shikuro quickly took a palm-length scroll out of his pocket, and threw it to Kanpū while saying: "One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred… Hehehehe, I'll pay it later…"
Kanpū hurriedly put the scroll away, and as if feeling sick, he turned around and ran away.
After returning home, Kanpū washed his face first. As it's still early, Keiko is still working in the hospital, and his younger brother is also studying, so Kanpū went over the wall and went to find the two old men, who were the only remaining powerful clansmen of Gekkō Clan in the village.
At this time, Inoue is playing shogi at Matsushita's house. It can be said that they are facing same level opponent. If you take a step, I take a step. It's a long time to win in this match.
When Kanpū came in, the two old men seemed to be tired of this endless shogi game and simply stopped, making it a draw.
"Kanpū! You're back from the mission." When Matsushita saw Kanpū, he said, "Are you coming here to inquire about your father's information?"
Kanpū coughed dryly and said:" Uh… hahaha, As expected of Uncle Matsushita, you discovered it!"
"You should be able to see him soon."
Matsushita sighed.
"My father is coming back? Did something happen?" Kanpū's eyelids jumped.
"Haah!" Matsushita released a long sigh again, but didn't speak.
What Kanpū hates the most is the person who says half of his words and deliberately stopped with a sigh in the middle.
"Your father met Pakura as he wished!"
Fortunately, there is also Inoue here, and he is not as annoying as Matsushita, so he kept the long story short, "The two fought for half an hour, but your father lost and was seriously injured. After returning to the village this time, he may not be able to go to the frontline anymore."
'Seriously injured?'
'Can't go to battlefield anymore?'
'Is he disabled?'
Kanpū's heart felt tight, but then he was relieved.
'It's good as long as he didn't die!'
'Disabled? That's not a problem!'
"When will father come back?" Kanpū asked.
"The information just came the day before yesterday. According to their speed, it will take at least four to five days." Inoue said.
'Four to five days?'
Kanpū frowned slightly when he heard this. The day after tomorrow, he estimated that he will have another mission. When he came back, he was afraid that more than half a month would have passed.
'However, I can leave a shadow clone…'
'No way, no way, in case the shadow clone pissed off the cheap father…'
Kanpū took a deep breath, shook his head to get rid of these messy thoughts, and then asked about the business.
"Two uncles, does our Gekkō Clan have a specific contract for Summoned Beast?"
Matsushita shook his head and said: "No, no, our Gekkō Clan's Shinobi are mostly focusing on Konoha-Style Kenjutsu. There is no time to find or nurture Summoned Beast, but why do you suddenly ask this?"
"It's nothing." Kanpū felt a little regretful, and then asked, "Then, do the two uncles know about the Kusanagi Sword?"
Inoue and Matsushita glance at each other, and nodded in unison.
"In fact, our Gekkō Clan has been tracking down the whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword until now. Unfortunately, even after so many years, we still found nothing." Matsushita said regretfully.
Kanpū scratched his head: 'Gekkō Clan, how come that the more I look at it, the more it is like a useless clan, what to do…'
'Hmph, it's time to come up with real technology!'
Kanpū then took out the sealing scroll with a solemn expression.
