A few days later, Chunin Exams' final individual battle officially began.
Taking advantage of this extremely rare opportunity, under Kanpū's instigation, Hoshino brazenly invited Hizashi to watch the match together. Of course, the little Neji followed suit.
Kanpū made the two adults talk, and followed behind Neji, who was sleeping soundly.
The little baby was drooling while sleeping, blinking from time to time. When Kanpū saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, he suspected that he was having a good dream, so he immediately threw the Collection Technique.
The green light cluster in his mind surged rapidly, and under Kanpū's eager gaze, a pale red light dot was finally ejected from the surging green light cluster, rushing into the group of light blue dots like a comet.
Kanpū was overjoyed, and hurriedly wrapped it with hiss consciousness.
Byakugan 1/6 (Kekkei Genkai, incomplete)!
Kanpū smiled with joy, and then frowned again in an instant.
'Wait…'
'1/6?'
'Aren't they all 3 before?'
'Transparent Release, Ice Release, and Explosion Release are all 3, how did Byakugan become 6?'
'Is it because Byakugan rank is relatively high?'
Kanpū thought about it for a second, and felt that it makes sense, after all, Byakugan is the Kekkei Genkai handed down from the Otsutsuki Clan, and it is not comparable to those weak Kekkei Genkai, and it is not wrong for it to be six!
Kanpū quickly accepted this setting.
Besides, the difference between 3 and 6 is not big, it is just the problem of collecting one more baby, so Kanpū doesn't panic at all.
'After collecting Neji, the next one to collect is Hinata from the neighbor's house.'
However, Hinata has not been born yet, so Kanpū is considering whether to send some 'medicine' to Hiashi.
It's just that it's not easy for him to come forward in this matter, so he has to ask Hoshino!
Just as he was thinking about this, Neji in his arms suddenly woke up, opened his huge white eyes, and looked Kanpū and blinking.
Kanpū quickly made faces to make him happy.
"Hehehe…'
Neji laughed stupidly after being teased, and his saliva splashed out everywhere. Kanpū didn't have time to wipe the saliva, and quickly threw down another Collection Technique.
The green light cluster in his mind surged rapidly, and within a short while, another pale red light dot was ejected.
Kanpū happily wiped Neji's saliva, who was giggling endlessly, and while continuing to make faces to make him happy, he secretly sighed, 'Neji, why are you so so easy to be deceived? The Hyuga Clan's guarded Byakugan is almost lost by you. When you grow up... let's have a snack.'
After saying that in his heart, Kanpū threw today's last Collection Technique.
When the group arrives at the competition venue, among the hundreds of light blue dots next to the green light cluster in Kanpū's mind, there are already three more pale red light dots. At this moment, they are revolving around each other, seemed to be fusing, but in the end, there is no fusion.
'Sure enough, it's not enough.'
"Since Yondaime-sama ordered the gambling halls to close down, there has been a lot of disputes in the village." Hizashi came outside the competition venue and couldn't help laughing when he didn't saw any staff wearing the uniform of the gambling hall.
"Although we couldn't see it on the surface, there must still be them in the dark."
Hoshino said with great experience, "It's hard to eradicate gambling."
"Hoshino-kun's words are really thought-provoking." Hizashi said with a smile.
"Where is it? It's just a random talk, hahaha." Hoshino said with a smile.
While these two were complimenting each other, Kanpū felt a bit chilly in his heart, as at this moment, Neji in his arms seemed to release dangerous substance!
After Kanpū noticed it, he quickly lifted him up to avoid harming himself!
Just as he was about to speak, an Anbu flickered over and said: "Gekko Kanpū, Hokage-sama ask for your presence!"
"Hokage-sama called me?"
Kanpū turned pale with fright, and hurriedly handed the urinating Neji to between Hoshino and Hizashi, and then said with a face full of self-blame, "Aiya, I finally managed to hold little brother Neji today, but I didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing, Tou-san, Uncle Hizashi, look…"
Hoshino glared at Kanpū angrily, then carefully took Neji, and Hizashi next to him had already taken out a sealing scroll, then took out the replacement underwear from it and smiled to tell Kanpū not to delay his business.
Kanpū complained again and quickly disappeared with the Anbu.
When he arrived at Hokage Tower, Kanpū suddenly noticed a problem. He hurriedly pulled the Anbu in front of him and asked strangely: "Now that there is the Chunin Exams' final individual battle, shouldn't Hokage-sama be there to host it as usual?"
Anbu replied concisely: "Shadow clone."
Kanpū understood immediately.
Outside Hokage's Office, Genma nodded at them and let them entered directly.
Pushing the door open, they entered the office, and the Anbu said: "Hokage-sama, Gekko Kanpū is here."
"Okay, you can leave first." Minato raised his head and said.
Kanpū took a look, and saw that besides Minato, there are two other people in the office. One is a fat man from the Akimichi Clan, the word "food" on his chest stands out against the backdrop of his belly, and the other one is from the Inuzuka Clan. The big yellow dog next to him bared its teeth, looking very delicious, cough, very fierce!
"Hokage-sama."
Kanpū walked to the desk, showing an expert demeanor.
"Let me introduce you."
Minato smiled and said, "Kanpū, these two are Akimichi Doto and Inuzuka Gaku. They are my former subordinates, and both of them are Jonin! Doto, Gaku, this is Gekko Kanpū, an Elite Chunin who is good at Five-Attributes Ninjutsu and Konoha-Style Kenjutsu."
Kanpū hurriedly greeted them respectfully.
Doto and Gaku also smiled and nodded.
Minato watched them greeted each other, then smiled and said: "Then, I will trouble you for this mission."
Kanpū was startled, 'Trouble us?'
'What mission did you trouble us?'
'Moreover, you wanted me to work two Jonin. It looked very difficult at first glance!'
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama, leave it to us." Doto patted his big belly, and his fat flesh trembled wildly at that moment, like ripples in the autumn water.
Minato nodded: "Go now!"
"Yes!"
Kanpū reluctantly agreed, and then followed Doto and Gaku to leave.
After getting off the Hokage Tower, Kanpū couldn't hold back anymore: "Doto-senpai, Gaku-senpai, what kind of mission does Hokage-sama want us to complete?"
"The mission is about investigating disappearance."
Doto said with a serious expression, "Because it happened in a neighboring country, we were sent out considering the possibility of encountering enemies."
"Neighboring country? Enemies?"
Kanpū was startled, "The Land of Grass?"
Land of Grass is close to the Land of Earth, and although Iwagakure has signed a surrender treaty with Konoha, such a treaty can't restrain Iwagakure's Shinobi.
"It's not the Land of Grass, it's Land of Hot Water."
Gaku added, "This mission is to investigate the disappearance was personally entrusted by the leader of Yugakure, Komatsu Chiharu to Hokage-sama."
Kanpū was stunned, 'The Land of Hot Water?'
'If it is the Land of Hot Water, then the enemy we may face is Kumogakure's Shinobi. Although Kumogakure's Shinobi withdraws from the Land of Fire, Kumogakure neither surrendered nor signed an alliance with Konoha. Once we encountered them, a battle will very likely to break out!'
'No wonder we have to send two Jonin.'
As for Komatsu Chiharu, the leader of Yugakure, Kanpū remembers this man, as he is looks kind of benevolent, just like Kanpū!
"Kanpū, do you have anything else to prepare?" Doto asked, "If not, we will set off now."
Kanpū immediately created a shadow clone to inform his family, and then left the village with the two Jonin.
Rushing all the way north, the three people are extremely fast.
Maybe it was out of temptation, or maybe the task was really urgent, in short, Doto and Gaku are moving non-stop, traveling day and night, and kept moving forward at high speed.
Fortunately, after being tempered by the Third Shinobi World War, Kanpū has become extremely tough in spirit and will. With the Uzumaki Clan's physique and the power of Ryumyaku, Kanpū didn't fall behind.
It was only after the three of them arrived at the border between the two countries that they rested here for the night.
In the early morning of the next day, the three people crossed the border and entered the Land of Hot Water's territory.
During this period, Kanpū also learned the details of the disappearance from Doto and Gaku.
In the past few years, people from Yugakure have disappeared from time to time, but no one paid attention to it, because at that time, it was during the Third Shinobi World War, so it was normal that a few people to disappear. Maybe they ran to Konoha, or maybe they were taken by Kumogakure's Shinobi, in short, this matter did not attract attention.
But seeing that even after the Third Shinobi World War ended, the disappearance did not stop, this incident finally attracted Chiharu's attention, and he sent Yugakure's Shinobi to investigate the matter, but after more than half a month, the investigation made no progress, so Chiharu had no choice but to entrust the mission to Konoha.
After learning the details of the disappearance, the first thing that popped up in Kanpū's mind was Jashinists!
There are Jashinists in Yugakure, who like to do human experiment, and Hidan is transformed by human experiment and got immortal body!
However, this is only Kanpū's guess, and the specific conclusion cannot be drawn until the investigation is completed.
After entering the Land of Hot Water, Kanpū's group of three traveled across the mountains and ridges, and it took them a day to arrive at Yugakure.
Then, the three people met Chiharu, who is holding a cane, in the office building of Yugakure.
Just like in Kanpū's impression, Chiharu's face is full of wrinkles and white hair, and he looks like he's in the seventies or eighties, just him standing there gives people a trembling feeling, as if he would fall down in the next second.
"You three, I will trouble you with the investigation of this disappearance."
After greetings, Chiharu went straight to the topic and asked Kanpū's group of three to investigate the matter immediately.
"Chiharu-sama, we will investigate this matter thoroughly!" Gaku patted the head of the big yellow dog next to him beside him with confidence.
"If you need anything, please let us know, our Yugakure will do our best to help you!" Chiharu said seriously, looking at Kanpū's group of three kindly with cloudy eyes.
After Chiharu left, he left a Yugakure's Shinobi to take care of their daily life. If there is anything they need, they can get this Yugakure's Shinobi to pass it to Chiharu.
Kanpū looked at this person's face carefully, remembering that this person was also his guide when he came to Yugakure last time, 'What's his name?'
Kanpū couldn't remember it.
'But he seemed to have introduced himself just now, what's his name?'
Kanpū fell into thought as he followed Doto and Gaku, and left the office building.
After that, following Gaku's request, the Yugakure's Shinobi guide brought the three people to the home of the last missing person.
"The missing person is called Ninoko Yaro. According to his neighbors, Ninoko Yaro hasn't appeared since he left home three days ago." The Yugakure's Shinobi guide took out a small notebook and reported the disappearance case very consciously.
It's just that Gaku didn't listen at all. He walked around the house, then picked up some underwear and put it under the big yellow dog's nose.
As for Kanpū and Doto, they also searched around the house, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
"Woof!"
After sniffing the underwear, the big yellow dog ran out immediately.
"Let's go!" Gaku cheered up, and quickly called Doto and Kanpū to follow.
The Yugakure's Shinobi also quickly put away the small notebook and chased after him.
The group of four chased the big yellow dog through the streets, gradually deviate from the village, and finally came to a cliff!
"Woo woo…" The big yellow dog whined while standing on the edge of the cliff.
"He fell off the cliff?" Gaku looked down at the cliff with a frown, and found that there was a big river under the cliff, and his brows could not help but frowned tightly.
"Let's go down and take a look." Doto said.
As he said that, he had already taken the lead, covering the soles of his feet with Chakra, and walked down the steep cliff.
Kanpū also followed enthusiastically.
Gaku asked the Yugakure's Shinobi guide to look after his Ninken and followed closely behind Doto.
