According to the information that Kanpū and the others currently have, there are two to four people missing in Yugakure every month. Therefore, although they could only wait idly for opportunities passively, there should be gains by half a month at the latest!
However, what is surprising is that after full month has passed, there have been no missing incidents in Yugakure!
Obviously, the other side already knows about the existence of the Kanpū's group of three, and responded to their wait-and-see by standing still.
Furthermore, according to the current trend, unless Kanpū's group of three leave, the other side might never do anything!
Kanpū is not in a hurry, as he carries Flying Thunder God Technique's scrolls with him. He can collect them every day, so it's not a problem to be dragged all the time.
'However, if the other side doesn't make a move for a year, would we have to wait here for another year?' Kanpū wondered.
Doto gnawed on chicken legs and cursed these rats hiding in the gutter for being so cunning!
Gaku, who is next to him, sighed and said: "I've searched all the way up and down the big river below the cliff these days, but I haven't found anything, and there's also no one missing in the village. Without new clues, we can't do anything."
"If we don't leave, they won't make any more moves."
Kanpū said lazily, and then, a thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly whispered "Should we pretend to leave and lure them out?"
Gaku's eyes lit up and he said: "Good idea! Let's contact Yugakure's Shinobi immediately and let them cooperate with us!"
"Wait a minute!"
Kanpū quickly stopped him and said, "With so many people knowing, the information might be leaked, and this plan will be ruined."
"Then, we won't tell anyone, and we will come back quietly after we are far away!" Gaku said.
Doto quickly put down the chicken legs, shook his head and said: "No! This is Yugakure in the end. As a Shinobi from another village, we cannot act unscrupulously."
"What should we do then?" Gaku asked with his shoulders drooping.
"Why don't you go say it to the leader of Yugakure?" Kanpū asked.
Gaku patted the big yellow dog on the head and agreed: "Let's just do that!"
After the plan has been decided, the three people immediately met the leader of Yugakure, Chiharu, through the Yugakure's Shinobi guide, and revealed their plan in the office where there were only four of them.
Though Chiharu is getting older, he is still decisive in doing things. He agreed to Kanpū's plan on the spot and said that he would keep it a secret!
At noon that day, Kanpū's group of three left Yugakure.
It's just that not long after they left, Gaku's big yellow dog started whining in a low voice.
"Someone is following us!" Gaku whispered to remind Doto and Kanpū.
"Is it..."
Kanpū was ready to move, "Should we catch them and torture the information from them directly?"
"Let's go a little further away." Doto said softly, "Perhaps they just happened to be passing by."
The three people agreed and continued to move forward calmly, and the people following them hung tightly behind them.
Half an hour later, Doto whispered: "It seems that they are indeed coming at us."
The three glanced at each other, and they flickered backward in a tacit understanding.
Those, who were following from behind, didn't to expect that they would be discovered, and were caught off guard and defeated easily!
"This is... Yugakure's Anbu? What's going on?" Gaku's brow furrowed violently.
The Shinobi, who was blocked by Kanpū and the others, is dressed in Anbu's clothes!
'Could it be that Chiharu…'
Kanpū was also taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized that this must be a disguise of the Jashinists!
Otherwise, how stupid would Chiharu be to send Anbu to follow them?
"Humph."
The man snorted coldly, and then formed hand seals with his hands.
Boom!
After the smoke dispersed, the person has disappeared.
"Shadow clone?"
Doto nodded, "Why does Yugakure's Anbu use shadow Clone to follow us? What is going on?"
"It's a disguise."
Kanpū said immediately, "By disguising as Yugakure's Anbu, they can not only hide their identity, but also distract our attention."
Doto thought that it might indeed be the case. Just now, when he saw the 'Yugakure's Anbu', the first thought that popped up in his mind was that Chiharu, the leader of Yugakure, has deceived them.
"But we finally have a new clue."
Gaku confidently stroked the big yellow dog's head, "We already remember his smell!"
"Woof!" The big yellow dog barked, and then ran directly in the direction of Yugakure.
Kanpū's group of three followed closely from behind.
Soon, the group entered Yugakure again.
The big yellow dog kept barking all the way, passed through the streets and alleys conspicuously, and finally stopped in a one-story house.
Gaku sniffed slightly, and his expression suddenly changed: "Not good, it's the smell of blood!"
After he said that, he kicked open the door immediately.
The three looked in, and saw a man lying on the ground with his limbs spread out, a kunai stuck in his chest, and he had already lost his life.
Moreover, there are some heart-palpitating patterns painted with blood around the corpse.
'Sure enough, it is the Jashinists.'
Kanpū's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this time, because of Kanpū and the others' loud movement, some Yugakure's Shinobi were also attracted.
"What's the matter?"
"It is Taro Anjo, he was killed!"
Seeing the corpse in the house, the Yugakure's Shinobi subconsciously looked towards Kanpū's group of three with suspicious gaze
"Haven't you already left? Why did you suddenly appear here!"
"Could it be you that you killed Taro Anjo?"
"Hey, we just arrived, we didn't kill him." Gaku said dissatisfiedly.
"As a Shinobi, you shouldn't accuse someone as the murderer is without checking the corpse first. You guys are really stupid!" Kanpū looked unhappy.
When ordinary villagers are missing, these Yugakure's Shinobis have no clue at all.
And when a Yugakure's Shinobi died, it happened that he and the others were present. As a result, these people rushed from all directions as if teleporting.
"Hmph, you don't need to tell us about this kind of thing!"
Several Yugakure's Shinobi glared at Kanpū, then stepped forward for an autopsy. They quickly calculated that Taro Anjo had been dead for about 20 minutes, but they chased Kanpū's group of three and came here within five minutes at most.
And most importantly, Taro Anjo seems to have… suicided.
Seeing that they had calmed down, Doto saw explained: "We left Hidden Yugakure just to lure that kidnapper group into action. We didn't expect to be followed by this person's shadow clone as soon as we left. We followed his smell all the way to find him, and finally reached this place."
The Yugakure's Shinobi look at each other in shock when they heard this.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you suspect that the villagers' disappearance is related to Taro Anjo?"
"What a joke, he is an elite from Anbu!"
"You're just talking nonsense!"
Yugakure's Shinobi looked at Kanpū and the others with righteous indignation.
Kanpū frowned upon hearing this. He had guessed that this person is Jashinists pretending to be Yugakure's Anbu, but he didn't expect this person to be a real Anbu!
'Could it be that the hands of the Jashinists have penetrated deep into Yugakure's Anbu?'
'How could this group of idiotic Shinobi who only knows about ceremony and killing entered Anbu?!'
Hearing the shouts of Yugakure's Shinobi, Kanpū was a little annoyed, so he pushed aside the crowd violently, pointed to the weird bloody pattern under Taro Anjo's body, and said: "Then tell us, what is this? Is it your special pattern when an elite from Anbu committed suicide?"
All the Yugakure's Shinobi's faces turned pale, but soon after, they shouted with dissatisfaction.
"Anyway, I don't believe Taro Anjo would do this kind of thing!"
"Anjo Taro is very gentle, it is impossible for him to do such a thing as kidnapping the villagers!"
"Anjo Taro is an elite of Anbu and will never betray the village!"
In the end, the Yugakure's Shinobi still chose to trust their companions.
At this moment, Kanpū actually felt a little fortunate, glad that he did not kill Hidan…
'Just wait until Hidan grow up, let's see what he can do to you!'
Doto and Gaku, who are next to each other, looked at each other and felt a little helpless.
"Take us to meet your leader." Doto said.
Now that the matter has developed to this step, it is difficult for them to investigate further. Firstly, it is because of the existence of these brainless Yugakure's Shinobi. Secondly, this matter has already involved Yugakure's Anbu, so it was not appropriate for them to intervene!
Twenty minutes later, Kanpū's group of three met Chiharu at the Yugakure's office building. The old man sat on the sofa and seemed to have heard about Anjo Taro's matter, and there was a bit of reluctance in his cloudy eyes.
"Chiharu-dono, the matter involves the Anbu in your village, so we have no way to investigate further." Doto said straight to the point.
Chiharu also understands this truth, nodded and said: "You have worked hard during this time."
After a few simple greetings from both sides, Kanpū's group of three people left Yugakure.
"What a pity!"
After leaving Yugakure, Gaku is still a little unwilling, "We obviously found such an important clue."
Although Taro Anjo is dead, using him as a breakthrough point, they can definitely dig out more new clues!
"In fact, I thought before that Chiharu-dono would allow us to investigate his village's Anbu."
Doto touched his belly and chuckled, "Sure enough, I'm too naive."
Kanpū also chuckled and said: "Any village in Anbu has many secrets. How could they let outsiders like us intervene."
"That's right. I hope they can find out the truth."
Gaku felt a little emotional, then shrugged the shoulders, and said with a laugh, "But Yugakure didn't have any alliance with us after all, so let them do this kind of thing themselves, hahaha."
After putting down Yugakure's matter, Kanpū's group of three rushed to the border of the two countries, but only halfway of their course, they unexpectedly found the trail left by the Kumogakure's Shinobi troops!
"Danger!"
Gaku lowered his body, sniffed slightly, and did a human-dog relationship with the big yellow dog next to him.
Kanpū crouched on the side while trembling in fear, looking back and forth between Doto and Gaku back and forth.
'Who?'
'Who inherited the physique of the unlucky star this time?'
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Seeing Kanpū's current state, Doto patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "With Gaku here, we won't meet Kumogakure's Shinobi."
"I hope so." Kanpū's nodded solemnly, not daring to relax at all.
After a while, Gaku showed a confident smile, and said, "This way!"
As he said that, he took the lead and rushed towards certain direction, and Kanpū and Doto followed closely.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
After a while, there was a violent explosion in that direction, and blossoming flaming mushrooms rose into the sky!
Kanpū, Doto, and Gaku escaped from the Explosive Tags minefield in panic.
After that, nearly a hundred Kumogakure's Shinobi emerged from the nearby jungle, and roared 'Kill them' while rushing towards them.
'If Pikachu don't show their power, do you think they're mouse?!'
Kanpū pulled out his Kusanagi Sword, and wanted to rush up and fight with them vigorously, but unfortunately, Doto and Gaku, the pair of pig and dog friends, dragged him and fled straight to the border of the Land of Fire.
