Land of Fire.
Konoha, Root's Headquarters.
Kanpū wandered around his patrol area like a zombie, almost become moldy from boredom.
During this period, Kanpū and the other sixth team's members have turned this place upside down, let alone any confidential information, not even a mouse can be found!
Fortunately, both Minato and Kanpū have expected Danzo to transfer the Gozu Tenno Plan. Since it doesn't exist in Root's Headquarters, it must be in other hidden laboratories or research bases!
It's just that Konoha is so big, so where is Danzo's secret research base?
If they rely on a blanket search, even if they invest the entire Anbu to do so, it may not be enough, unless Kanpū goes out and use hundreds of Byakugan shadow clone to do so, but he obviously can't do that.
Apart from this, it is to let Danzo, or other Root's Shinobi lead the way.
There is no shortage of smart people in the sixth team, so someone has secretly followed the Root's Shinobi before, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
As for Danzo?
Don't forget that Kakashi and Tenzo follow him in turn 24 hours a day, and they didn't find anything either.
On the surface, Danzo and his Root are indeed doing nothing all day long, without a sense of threat. If the person in power is Hiruzen, he will directly believe in Danzo's 'innocence'!
Walking forward, turning around an underground corridor, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
'Shisui?!'
Kanpū was shocked, 'How could he appear here?'
'Didn't you go to Akatsuki as an undercover agent?'
'Did the mission end and you come back?'
Kanpū just wanted to ask, but he immediately noticed something was wrong!
'Although Shisui is an undercover agent, his public identity is a 'Missing-nin', so how could he appear in Root's Headquarters silently?'
'That means, this person is definitely not Shisui!'
'Then the question is, among so many people in the Root's Headquarters, who would be so bored that they would pretend to be Shisui and scare me?'
At this moment, Conan seemed to possess Kanpū's body, and with the familiar BGM sounds, he has found the only truth: 'Uchiha Itachi!'
'Transforming into Shisui, are you trying to trick me?'
Kanpū sneered in his heart, 'At a glance, I knew that you have not been beaten up by the society. Today, let me teach you on behalf of the moonlight!' (T/N: Moonlight means Gekko.)
While thinking about it, Kanpū's face became fierce: "Uchiha Shisui?! You traitor, how dare you come back?!"
Kanpū swung his iron fist and rushed forward.
Shisui…
No, Itachi, who saw Kanpū rushed towards him, panicked.
From long time ago, Itachi wanted to transform into Shisui and appeared in front of Kanpū, but during the first few days in Root's Headquarters, both Kanpū and the others kept the necessary vigilance. So if at that time,'Shisui' appeared, Kanpū will definitely notice the abnormality, but after so many days, everyone has turned this place upside down, and Root's Shinobi has neither obstructed nor hostile towards them, so everyone's vigilance has dropped. At this time, if 'Shisui' appeared, Kanpū will definitely show some flaw!
'But!'
'But why is this happening?!'
'Why did Kanpū directly attack when he saw Brother Shisui?'
'Did Brother Shisui really attack Yondaime Hokage and then defected?'
'Could it be that the truth I sought turned out to be just my imagination?'
Itachi was shocked, angry and puzzled, but since the matter has come to this point, he is not willing to give up, so he chooses to do it!
Sharingan!
The pitch-black pupils instantly turned into scarlet 3-Tomoe Sharingan, and then he directly pulled Kanpū's consciousness with Genjutsu into the illusion world he constructed.
The sky was spinning, and Kanpū looked around in a daze.
There is a shallow layer of water under his feet, a gray world around him, a bright scarlet moon above his head, and iron wedges nailing himself to a wooden stake.
'Shackling Stakes Technique?!'
'F**k!'
At this moment, Kanpū can't wait to open Sharingan directly, and then use a Mirror Heaven and Earth Change to return the Shackling Stakes Technique to Itachi!
'How dare you treat an old senior like this, you brat is just looking for trouble!'
'However, the current crisis must be resolved first.'
Shackling Stakes Technique can restrain people's mind and body, and it will also be accompanied by severe physical pain. Even in the Uchiha Clan, it is the top Genjutsu Ninjutsu, let alone it is Itachi who used it.
Fortunately, Kanpū also knows this Genjutsu, so he knows the key to cracking this Genjutsu, that's right, it is those wedges that nail him!
This is Itachi's illusion world. Everything here is fake and fictitious. Of course, these wedges are also fake!
The reason why this Genjutsu creates these wedges is to let the subject 'see' the scene of the wedge being inserted into their body, and then they will naturally believe it, so that the fake pain becomes real, so that the false bondage becomes the real bondage. To put it bluntly, it is like being blindfolded!
It's just that, even if Kanpū knows about this, it is still very difficult to get rid of these wedges.
Just like you know that oxygen and hydrogen can be obtained by electrolyzing water, but when it comes to actual operation, it means one word: Troublesome!
When Kanpū was working hard, Shisui appeared at this time.
"Kanpū, I thought you knew the truth."
'Shisui' looked Kanpū with a wry smile and said, "Didn't Hokage-sama tell you?"
"Tell me what? Tell me the details of how you attacked Hokage-sama?" Kanpū deliberately glared at him fiercely.
'Shisui' looked sad and sighed, and then said: "Kanpū, you know my character, how could I do these things?"
"You didn't?"
Kanpū's anger suddenly subsided a little. He blinked his big eyes and looked puzzled. "What do you mean? Since you didn't attack Hokage-sama, why did Hokage-sama announced you as a Missing-nin?"
"I can't tell you."
'Shisui' hesitated and continued, "But if you want to know the truth, you can go to Hokage-sama. He will definitely tell you."
"The truth?" Kanpū showed thoughtful look.
'Shisui', no, Itachi, is very satisfied when he saw Kanpū's expression.
In Itachi's view, if Kanpū knew the truth, he should have shown his flaws when the two met just now. Unfortunately, he didn't show anything. In this case, there are only two possibilities left. One, Kanpū is the same as him, and was kept in the dark by Minato. And two… there is no truth!
Itachi certainly believed in the first possibility, so he deliberately used ambiguous words to create an atmosphere, and then tempts Kanpū to ask Minato on his own initiative.
In this way, Itachi can find the truth through Kanpū!
'You forced me to do this!'
Itachi was quite happy in his heart, and then he was dumbfounded.
The wedges on Kanpū's body suddenly began to melt, turning into dense molten iron and falling on the water surface.
"I haven't seen you for a while, but you have become tender, Shisui!" Kanpū sneered again and again.
He didn't expose Itachi's identity, so as not to make it difficult to start when he started beating him later.
"You?!" Itachi's pupils shrank, and Sharingan's pupil power gushes out in an instant, turning into huge wedges and pierced into Kanpū.
But Kanpū managed to break free from the shackles of the wedge, how could he let Itachi do what he wanted?
He broke his 'body' with one punch, and the scattered consciousness was not restrained by the wedge, and instantly poured out of this illusion world.
Opening his eyes again, Kanpū relied on Minato's nerve reflexes to appear on the right side of 'Shisui' with a flicker, and then punched out.
Bang!
Although Kanpū did not activate the Extraordinary Strength talent, his physical fitness alone still blows 'Shisui' on the wall.
'Shisui' groaned in pain, and when he turned his head, the scarlet light shone like a firefly.
He wants to use Genjutsu again to trap Kanpū.
But it's too late.
At this time, Kanpū is ready. With Minato's nerve reflexes, how could he be caught up by Itachi's eyes?
Throwing a handful of Flying Thunder God Kunai, Kanpū's figure started flickering.
During the flickering frenzy, Kanpū approached Itachi time and time again to give Itachi the beatings from society, and then quickly flickered and disappeared under Itachi's sight.
In less than two seconds, Kanpū has already punched him eight times!
All this is all thanks to Minato!
At this time, Itachi finally reacted. With a bruised nose and swollen face, he looked at the Flying Thunder God Kunai scattered all over the ground, and immediately formed hand seals to blow the Flying Thunder God Kunai away with a strong wind.
But just as Wind Attribute Chakra gathered his throat and turned into a violent wind, Kanpū had hit his throat.
"Urgh!! Pffffft~~"
Itachi was in pain, and the Chakra in his throat instantly scattered, making a fart-like sound.
"Cough cough…"
During the series of coughs, Itachi finally couldn't maintain the appearance of 'Shisui' anymore.
"Huh? Itachi, why is it you?!" Kanpū looked at him in surprise, and retracted the fist that hit his abdomen naturally.
"Cough cough…" Itachi couldn't speak at all. At this moment, his throat was sore, painful and uncomfortable after being hit by Kanpū, so he could only keep coughing!
Kanpū said earnestly: "I was wondering why Shisui appeared here, it turned out to be you, you are… still looking for the truth, haah."
"Cough cough …" Itachi still coughed.
"Since you are so stubborn, I can't stop you, haah." Kanpū sighed.
"Cough cough…" Itachi still can't speak.
"Don't worry, although you just attacked me, I don't blame you, and I won't be angry with you. Let's pretend that nothing happened." Kanpū said generously.
"Cough cough…" Itachi only coughed.
"Don't keep coughing, say something." Kanpū was dissatisfied.
"Cough cough…" Itachi squinted at Kanpū, his eyes looked ashamed and annoyed.
He vaguely felt that Kanpū had seen through his identity early on, but unfortunately, he had no evidence, "Cough cough…"
'So hateful!!'
