After entering winter, the temperature in the Land of Fire dropped sharply, and there was heavy snow everywhere. Snowy mountains and snowfields can be seen everywhere, draped in silver.
Kanpū, who has turned into Taki, is wearing the Akatsuki's robe and big sunglasses. He runs like a wild dog in the snowy field formed by a mountain depression, splashing snow dust all over the sky!
After parting with Orochimaru, Kanpū went all the way to the east, and it snowed within a few days, and without end, the snow under his feet was getting thicker every day, and the road he chose was an inaccessible place, either mountain valley road or jungle grassland, so the road is very difficult!
As for the snowfield in the mountain depression that he just crossed, the snow is two meters deep, and ordinary people can't walk there at all.
Fortunately, Kanpū is a Shinobi.
However, he didn't cover the soles of his feet with Chakra in a regular way, but instead ran Chakra frantically and used Gentle Fist, crushing away in the two-meter-deep snowfield!
His way of wasting Chakra is beyond the comprehension of a Shinobi with small Chakra Reserve!
After walking out of the snowy field formed by this mountain depression, Kanpū found that his understanding of Gentle Fist has been deepened by several points!
He looked back at the 'road' that he had forcibly created with Gentle Fist, and there was no hint of pride in his Byakugan.
When he walked far away, the split body of White Zetsu's clone came out from the ground. He looked at the 'road' in the snowfield, and secretly sighed: 'He didn't even forget the train Gentle Fist, no wonder he was recognized by Orochimaru.'
He was about to burrow into the ground to continue monitoring, when suddenly, another split body of White Zetsu's clone emerged from the ground, which was the half where he split out to monitor Kakuzu.
The two split bodies immediately merged into one, and then silently sneaked into the ground and continued to track and monitor Kanpū.
It is close to the coastline of the Land of Fire's eastern sea. Since it was affected by the sea breeze, even though the temperature here is still cold, there is not much snow.
Taking out the map given by Orochimaru, Kanpū confirmed the direction a little bit, and then rushed to a dock dozens of kilometers away, then hired ships and sailors, and prepared to go out to sea to find the island.
Although the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, the island is still there. And although the name has been changed now, when Kanpū took out the map and pointed at the circle drawn by Orochimaru, the sailors immediately knew their destination and gave promise that they would reach there in three days.
After going out to the sea, Kanpū stayed quietly in the cabin to rest.
There were storms during this period, but it was not a big problem.
Three days passed by, and when Kanpū walked out of the cabin, there was a palm-length black horizon in the sea ahead.
'That is the Land of Whirlpools?'
Kanpū stands quietly on the deck, maintaining his unruly Missing-nin persona.
When the ship slowly approached, Kanpū jumped off the ship, stepping on the sea water and rushing towards the island.
The island's size is small, only three or four times of Konoha. With good eyesight, the coastline at both ends can even be seen.
Although the Land of Whirlpools is called a country, its citizens are only members of the Uzumaki Clan clansman, and its scale can't even be called a village!
It is as if Kanpū took the Gekko Clan to find an island at random, and then named himself a Daimyo and founded the Land of Moonlight.
Kanpū couldn't understand what the Uzumaki Clan's Clan Head was thinking back then.
They and Senju Clan are obviously distant relatives, and even if they don't join Konoha, there's no need to go to such a remote island to create a country, right?
'Avoiding the world?'
'Living in seclusion?'
'What a joke, this is the Shinobi World. For Shinobi, is the sea dangerous?'
'If they really want to hide from the world and live in seclusion, just go as far away as possible, it's much better than this place!'
'The most important thing is, it actually caused me to travel across the sea to dig you up…'
Kanpū kept complaining in his heart.
After reaching the island, Kanpū immediately activated Byakugan and looked around as he walked.
He discovered there are simple piers and stone houses on the coastline of the island. He guessed that it was built by the maritime merchants for temporary stop and rest.
Kanpū glanced at it, and then looked towards other directions.
Soon, his sight was attracted by a small hill in the west. His figure flickered, and Kanpū galloped away.
This small hill is very small, about more than ten meters high. There are many rough stone tablets on the hillside. The stone tablets are exposed to the sun and rain, and are covered with cracks and moss. But he can see the traces of being taken care of from nearby stone tablets.
Kanpū remembered Naruto's mother, Kushina came here to pay respect, and he knew it clearly.
'This should be the burial place of the Uzumaki Clan!'
'It's just… is it so easy to find?'
Kanpū thought for a while, and said: "Zetsu."
After half a minute, there was only sea wind whistling around.
"Zetsu, come out, I know you're down there." Kanpū said.
White Zetsu's clone got out of the ground unwillingly: "What's the matter?"
"Are there any bones down there? Look for it." Kanpū said.
"Hyuga Taki, won't you do it yourself!"
White Zetsu's clone refused directly, 'You even wanted to ask me to dig a grave? Do you think you are Black Zetsu… ptui, Uchiha Madara!'
Kanpū lowered his head and sighed: "I treat you as a friend, but you actually… hmph, don't come to me for anything in the future."
White Zetsu's clone then thought about it, 'Although Hyuga Taki is not Madara-sama's direct subordinate, he is still a full-fledged member of Akatsuki. It's not a bad to win him over, and maybe I can get information about Impure World Reincarnation or Abyss from him.'
'Besides, isn't it just digging graves?'
'This kind of thing is easy!'
White Zetsu's clone immediately said: "I'm just kidding, of course I will help you find it."
Seeing White Zetsu's clone drilling into the ground, Kanpū immediately activated Byakugan again, then he focused his vision to enable the perspective ability.
The reason why Kanpū asked the White Zetsu's clone to dig the bones was that Kanpū was worried that the matter would be exposed in the future and would be hated by the Kushina's couple, and secondly, he also wanted to try if he can see White Zetsu's clone underground using Byakugan.
Under the gray vision, there seems to be only an outline left on the soil of the stone tablet on the hillside, and Kanpū can clearly see the image behind the outline.
There is soil under the stone tablet, and under the soil, a vague outline resembling a human skeleton appeared. Kanpū's vision quickly stopped and stared closely at the skeleton. At the next moment, a gray-white shadow was like a ghost, flickering in the ground, and then, Kanpū discovered that a certain part of the skeleton had disappeared.
Closing his Byakugan, Kanpū pondered in his heart: 'Although I can see White Zetsu, his movement speed is too fast. Unless he stands still, my perspective vision cannot keep up with his movement speed.'
'But this is enough!'
Kanpū showed a weird smile.
Half a minute later, White Zetsu's clone drilled out of the ground, holding a large pile of black skeletons with a smile, and said: "Taki, I have visited every grave, it's interesting enough. If I have something to do in the future, you can help me."
Kanpū has recovered his 'Hyuga Taki' expression, and praised: "As expected of Zetsu. Rest assured, as long as I can do it, I won't say anything else. If you don't believe me, I will swear an oath in the name of Hyuga Clan's ancestors!"
Kanpū puts out an empty oath while cleaning up the bones, and didn't care whether the Hyuga Clan's ancestors would chase after him if they knew it.
"Of course I believe you."
When White Zetsu's clone saw 'Hyuga Taki' saying such an oath, he immediately reciprocated, "Taki, I have an information here, you will definitely be interested in it."
"What information? Does it have anything to do with me?" Kanpū sealed all the bones on the ground into a scroll, then turned and looked towards White Zetsu's clone.
"That's right."
White Zetsu's clone smiled and said, "Shisui of the Body Flicker has entered Akatsuki."
Kanpū secretly sighed, but there was an expression of dissatisfaction on his face: "Shisui of the Body Flicker is still coming? By the way, since the newcomer has joined, why are we not having a meeting?"
"Well, he may be spy after all, so I have to observe him for a while before deciding whether to call everyone." White Zetsu's clone explained with a smile.
'Is that so?'
Kanpū thought to himself that in the original book, Itachi joined Akatsuki after killing the Uchiha Clan, so Pain, or Nagato, didn't think he was a spy from the beginning to the end, so they generously meet him.
But Shisui in this life just failed to attack the Hokage. To a certain extent, Shisui's defection did not at all bring any loss to Konoha, so the possibility of him being a spy is naturally countless times greater than Itachi's.
If it wasn't for the Uchiha Clan and Konoha's higher-ups that have always been at odds, and Mizusawa taking the blame and Fugaku concealing the blame, it is estimated that not many people would believe that Shisui has defected.
While thinking about it, Kanpū snorted decisively: "Maybe? I know that Shisui of the Body Flicker is definitely spy, Pain will definitely regret it!"
"Taki, let's not talk about it anymore. Even the souls of the dead can be summoned back to the present world , what's so strange about Shisui of the Body Flicker defecting?" White Zetsu's clone looked at 'Hyuga Taki' with a smile on his face, hinting of a crack in the wall.
A thought flashed through Kanpū's mind, and he deliberately asked tentatively: "Are you interested in Impure World Reincarnation?"
White Zetsu's clone shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, I really want to see my dead parents, so…"
'Your parents?'
'Why don't you talk about your grandma?'
Kanpū sneered in his heart, but he interrupted him plausibly, and said: "What is this? Zetsu, bring your parents' bones, and I will ask Orochimaru to summon it together with Impure World Reincarnation! Oh, by the way, if you can't dig their graves, I can do it for you!"
White Zetsu's clone face twitched, 'Why does it feel that 'Hyuga Taki' is scolding me?'
"No, I didn't mean that."
White Zetsu's clone coughed dryly and said with a forced smile, "I want to reincarnate my parents myself."
Kanpū frowned, and said hesitantly: "Impure World Reincarnation is Forbidden Technique, which was sealed in the Hokage Tower by the Hokage. In the entire Shinobi World, no one knows the training method of this technique except Orochimaru."
"Aren't you cooperating with Orochimaru? Can't you get Impure World Reincarnation from him?" White Zetsu's clone finally revealed his evil intention.
Kanpū shook his head: "Orochimaru is very cautious. Wanting to get the training method of Impure World Reincarnation from him… Unless you pay a large enough price, there is no hope."
White Zetsu's clone thought about it, and sighed regretfully.
'Summoning Madara-sama with Impure World Reincarnation is of great importance and cannot be handed over to Orochimaru in any case. If the training method of Impure World Reincarnation is not available…'
White Zetsu's clone sighed silently, 'Now, I can only hope that those clones who monitor Orochimaru can do it.'
Seeing White Zetsu's clone was distracted, Kanpū didn't bother him. He activated his Byakugan again and looked all around the ground, hoping to find some 'treasure' left by the Uzumaki Clan.
Unfortunately, after the fall of the Uzumaki Clan, valuable things had already been robbed. Even if there are good things buried in the ground, they will definitely be taken by Konoha, so how can Kanpū take advantage of it?
Kanpū looked around and confirmed that there is nothing of value here.
"We should go."
Kanpū turned his head, and there was a vast ocean behind him. Seeing this, his body shook, "Where's the ship?!"
