At noon, the sun is getting warmer and warmer, Kanpū is leaning against the roots of the tree and sleep soundly, his mouth was slightly open, and his breath was soft. A squirrel sprang down from the tree, looked at Kanpū's slightly opened mouth, and his two small hands touched its bulging mouth. It then took out a pine nut from its cheek and put it into Kanpū's mouth.
At this moment, Kanpū opened his eyes abruptly, his sharp gaze frightened the squirrel, so he dropped the pine nut and ran up the tree immediately.
Kanpū ignored the little squirrel, put his hands on the ground, got up instantly and then turned his head to look behind.
There, a few figures rushed toward this side at a very fast speed. Kanpū squinted his eyes and saw that one of them was his team leader, Dove, and the other two Shinobi were wearing Kusagakure's forehead protectors.
'Kusagakure's Shinobi?'
'Don't tell me…'
Kanpū's suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Something went wrong!"
Dove rushed to the front with a solemn tone, "It's not a good thing! Kusagakure's Shinobi found a large number of Iwagakure's Shinobi in their country!"
'It really is Iwagakure!'
'Ōnoki finally sent thousands of Iwagakure's Shinobi to sneak attack the Land of Fire.'
"Team leader, what are your plans?" Kanpū asked.
Although he knew that Iwagakure's Shinobi would come this year, he didn't know the specific time. And he didn't expect that they would come soon after the beginning of spring.
Dove said solemnly: "We must confirm the specific movements of the Iwagakure's Shinobi and find out whether they want to enter the rear of the Land of Rain to sneak attack on the Konoha's main camp through Land of Grass, or are they planning to cross Land of Grass directly and invade our Land of Fire!"
At this time, the Kusagakure's Shinobi said: "You two, time is running out, we must act quickly!"
Kanpū nodded solemnly, but looking at Dove and two Kusagakure's Shinobi, Kanpū suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He thought of something and said: "Team leader Crow, we should divide into two groups. I will notify vice-leader Dove and other team members on the border. How about you go to the Land of Rain to investigate the movements of the Iwagakure's Shinobi's army?"
'Dove' nodded: "Okay, let's go with…"
Before he could finish speaking, Kanpū has already used Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of him, and punched his chest directly with extraordinary strength!
At such a close distance, 'Dove' was completely unprepared, and his eyes glared at Kanpū as he breathed his last.
"What?"
"What are you doing?!"
The Kusagakure's Shinobi turned pale. They took out kunai and stared at Kanpū in disbelief, with a deep alert in his eyes.
"I'm really sorry, I turned a blind eye to the performance that I was supposed to cooperate with you."
Kanpū said with a smile, "Because I'm really not in the mood."
The pupils of the two Kusagakure's Shinobi shrank. They look at each other with stunned expression, and after a few moments, they start to talk gloomily: "How did you… discover it?"
"Could it be… Crow?" A thought flashed through the Kusagakure's Shinobi's mind, and he looked at the dead 'Dove' who is lying on the ground.
"That's right, Crow, our team leader is not called Crow." Kanpū said with a chuckle.
"Damn it!"
"Kill him!"
The two Kusagakure's Shinobi became furious. Holding the kunai, they tried to attack Kanpū.
'Melee?'
Kanpū was overjoyed, but his face was still extremely solemn, as if he was saying that he was not good at close combat, so come over and finish me off, but when the two Kusagakure's Shinobi approached, Kanpū's hands moved, and after using Hardening Technique, he directly clenched his fists and punched the two's kunai.
Clang!
Clang!!
Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, Kanpū's fists hit the kunai directly, and in a dull sound, the two Kusagakure's Shinobi were directly sent to meet the Sage of Six Paths.
After they died, the Transformation Technique on the two Kusagakure's Shinobi disappeared instantly.
Kanpū stepped forward and saw that it was Iwagakure's Shinobi!
As for 'Dove''s corpse, who was lying on the ground…
Kanpū kicked off his mask, and saw that his face was very unfamiliar and his skin was extremely rough. At first glance, Kanpū knew that he lived in the Land of Earth.
'This is really bad luck.'
Although it is still uncertain whether the thousand Iwagakure's Shinobi will pass by the border guarded by Kanpū, but since Iwagakure's Shinobi has sent someone to plot against him, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
Furthermore, these Iwagakure's Shinobi can transform into Dove's Anbu attire. So they obviously have already seen Dove, but don't know what the real Dove looked like.
Kanpū couldn't sit still at this moment. He first packs the three Iwagakure's Shinobi's corpses, then creates a shadow clone, and asks Shadow Clone to go to the Land of Grass to investigate Iwagakure's Shinobi's movements, while he rushed south along the border.
Speeding all the way, Kanpū found the traces of battle fifteen kilometers away!
Looking at the broken earth wall, Earth Flow Spears, rock pillar, and messy scattered blood, Kanpū's heart sank.
'Team leader Dove is under siege!'
He searched around and finally found a hidden mark, which is a unique mark of Konoha's Anbu, it is adding some very shallow scratches on the bark texture of the tree trunk, and when other people saw it, they would only think that it was a scratch left behind by wild beast.
Kanpū followed the marks all the way carefully, and finally found Dove in a tree hole ten kilometers away.
Dove was unconscious in the tree hole, his mask fell to the side, there were hideous scars on his abdomen and arms, his skin and flesh were messed, and the blood accumulated in the wound, like a pool of blood.
Spices unique to Konoha are sprinkled outside the tree hole, and it is these spices that cover up the blood smell on Dove.
Kanpū walked into the tree hole, checked his injury a little, and was slightly relieved in his heart.
Dove's injuries are all superficial wounds, but because the bleeding was not stopped in time, Kanpū is not sure whether Dove can hold on!
Kanpū created a shadow clone, ordered the shadow clone cast Healing Technique to stabilize Dove's condition, while he deals with his wounds.
Kanpū first cut the clothes around Dove's three wounds, then disinfected, applied medicine, and then sutured the wounds with his perfect level surgery. This series of actions took less than ten minutes to complete. When it was done, Kanpū then used perfect level bandage technique to bandage Dove's wounds.
At this time, Dove finally opened his eyes in a daze, and his pupils were a little dilated, as if he couldn't focus.
"Team leader?" Kanpū and the shadow clone lifted him out of the tree hole and let him bathe in the sun.
Being stabbed by the sunlight, Dove became a lot more sober.
"Husky, it's you..."
Dove frowned when he saw Kanpū, "Why are you here?"
Kanpū said: "There are three Iwagakure's Shinobis turned into you and Kusagakure's Shinobi, and came to me, but I saw the flaws in their act. After that, I was worried about you, so I came all the way."
Dove frowned slightly, and said with struggle: "This is not good!"
"What's wrong?" Kanpū was startled.
"There are more than 20 Iwagakure's Shinobi I encountered, and at least two of them are Jōnin. They…" Before Dove could finish speaking, there was a sudden violent vibration coming from the ground.
Kanpū's pupils shrank slightly, and he realized in an instant.
'The three Iwagakure's Shinobi I met were nothing but "pebbles" to ask for directions. The real Iwagakure's Shinobi has been lurking in the ground to follow me!'
'No wonder those three Iwagakure's Shinobis were killed so easily, they are probably all Genin!'
'Damn it!'
Kanpū regretted a little, but then he thought about it. If he didn't come over, Dove might have bleed to his death!
"Hurry up and send the information back to the village!" Dove gritted his teeth, "Don't worry about me, this is an order!"
Disregarding the order, Kanpū picked him up, turned around and ran.
"Be sure to stop them!" Kanpū said to the shadow clone without looking back.
"It's really difficult."
The shadow clone frowned, looking at a Iwagakure's Shinobi drilling out of the ground, his hands started dancing quickly, and a trace of blue lightning overflowed from his body…
