In the barbecue restaurant, Kanpū and Mei are sitting by the window and grilling meat.
As a seasoned driver, Kanpū teased Mei by telling interesting brain teasers while grilling the meat. While strengthening the relationship between the two, his mind was not idle either.
'So close!'
'I almost ran into Taki just now.'
It must be known that the letter Minato wrote to Yagura clearly stated about Akatsuki's clothes. If he and Mei ran into Taki while being together, wouldn't Kanpū be in difficult situation?
After all, it's his own Shadow Clone, so he should protected it.
Of course, since it has been confirmed that Taki is here, what Kanpū has to do next is to confirm Taki and Orochimaru's purpose of coming to Kirigakure!
After eating the barbecue, Kanpū continued to chat and laugh with Mei while shopping… Well, he's actually searching for Orochimaru. Unfortunately, Orochimaru has already left Kirigakure with Taki one step ahead of time.
After parting ways that night, Kanpū returned to the small courtyard, and the other Hyuga Shinobi also came back one after another, so naturally they didn't find anything.
"This is not the way to go!"
Hizashi looked Kanpū and asked, "Kanpū, if Kirigakure does not allow us to use Byakugan, can't we find a way to get them to send more of their Shinobi to help us?"
"This…"
Kanpū looked embarrassed, "Although I am here on behalf of Hokage-sama, my purpose is only to deliver the letter, as other things…"
He's overstepping his authorities.
Furthermore, even if Kanpū is willing to act high and mighty due to the words of his superior, Yagura may still not agree.
'Should I ask Terumi Mei to help?'
But Mei is not related to him, so how could she help him?
Unless… Kanpū is willing to sacrifice himself!
However, although Kanpū is a 'selfless' man, how can he sacrifice himself for others?
'No way, absolutely not!'
Kanpū raised his head, but seeing the disappointed faces of the Hyuga Shinobi, he felt a sharp pain in his heart!
He secretly blamed himself. These people are his own companions, his own people, more importantly, they have the relationship between neighbors. Now that everyone is in a foreign land, if he doesn't help them, who else can help?
'For them, what's wrong with sacrificing myself?'
o(´^｀)o
Kanpū silently made up his mind.
Of course, although Kanpū is ready to do good things, he is a low-key person and does not intend to tell them about his decision, so as not to let them be happy too soon.
At night.
When Kanpū is in his room, he quietly formed hand seal in the bed to create a shadow clone, and punched him to death.
In an instant, Taki, who is outside Kirigakure, rece received the memory of the shadow clone.
Taki frowned: 'When I was in the Land of Hot Water, I clearly told Hyōketsu about the assassination of Yondaime Mizukage. Why didn't that guy tell the main body?'
Taki curled his lips, then turns on the power of Ryumyaku, then turned it off, doing it four times in a row.
In the small courtyard bedroom.
Kanpū huddled under the blanket and waited quietly for Taki's reply. Suddenly, he sensed that the purple-black nebula in his mind suddenly which connected to the distance, then broke, and then connected again, it repeated for four times!
'Four times?'
'Four…'
'Yondaime Mizukage?'
Kanpū quickly created another shadow clone and punched it to pieces.
It didn't take long for a small tributary to reappear on the power of Ryumyaku, and then it was disconnected.
'Once time means yes, and twice means no.'
'In other words, the target of Taki and Orochimaru is Yondaime Mizukage!'
Kanpū is overjoyed when he learned of this.
It must be known that his 'hidden mission' when he came here is to capture Biju!
If Orochimaru and Taki are allowed to kill Yagura, he can jump out to rob the Biju at the last moment…
Kanpū silently calculates the probability. As the night deeped, Kanpū's breathing gradually became steady and long.
In the next few days, when Kanpū searched Orochimaru with Mei, he kept creating topics and chatted with her more and more, so their relationship is obviously progressing a lot.
This morning, Kanpū was was about to continue his attack when a dozen Kirigakure's Anbu suddenly flickered from the distance and surrounded him and Mei.
"What's wrong?" Mei stepped forward and blocked in front of Kanpū.
Kanpū was moved when he saw this: 'Look, this is the result of my crazy licking the past few days. As long as there is plenty of time, I will definitely be able give my family the good news!'
"Gekko Kanpū, Mizukage-sama is asking for your presence! Please come with us." The leading Kirigakure's Anbu started to talk, his tone is cold and without any emotion.
This voice reminded Kanpū of when the blood mist is still shrouding Kirigakure.
He frowned slightly, feeling that trouble was coming to him.
Mei glanced at Kanpū and did not leave. Instead, she followed them all the way to the Mizukage Building.
In the large conference hall in the Mizukage Building, there is a long table, and the thirteen Hyuga Clan's Elite Jonin, including Hizashi, are sitting on both sides of the table, and the one sitting at the top Yagura and Elder Genki!
On both sides of the conference hall, there are two rows of Kirigakure's Anbu standing straightly!
"Kanpū!" Seeing Kanpū coming in, Hizashi hurriedly got up and kept winking at him.
Kanpū had never been interested in a man's eyes, so after taking a quick look, his eyes fell on Yagura.
"Mizukage-dono." Kanpū bowed slightly to greet him.
Yagura nodded coldly. He then glanced at Mei, who followed Kanpū in, and said straight to the point: "The reason why you were summoned so urgently is related to an attack that happened outside the village last night."
"What attack?" Kanpū asked as he walked to the empty seat next to Hizashi and sat down.
And Mei walked behind Elder Genki.
Yagura did not speak, but gestured at a Kirigakure's Anbu next to him.
Then the Anbu immediately went out, and soon walked in with a Shinobi on his back.
This Shinobi's body is covered in bandages, and the bandages were faintly oozing with blood, making him look extremely miserable.
"I ask for the Hyuga Clan's Shinobi to check it." Elder Genki said.
Hizashi waved his hand, and immediately two Hyuga Shinobi got up and walked over to check.
After a while, the expressions of the two Hyuga Shinobi changed.
"What's wrong? What did you find?" Hizashi frowned, and asked nervously.
The two Hyuga Shinobi looked at each other solemnly and intended to lie, but since Yondaime Mizukage has called them so openly, it was obvious that lying is useless.
"Hizashi, his injury was caused by Gentle Fist."
"What?!"
Hizashi turn pale with shock, "How is it possible?"
The face of the rest of Hyuga Clan's Shinobi also changed slightly. They look at each other and went up to check it themselves, but the conclusion is indeed Gentle Fist!
Moreover, the person who attacked this Shinobi has great mastery in Gentle Fist, and even if they want to imitate it, they can't do it!
Yagura raised his eyelids and said coldly: "There's a total of six Kirigakure's Shinobi who were attacked last night, and this is just one of them. Gekko Kanpū, do you have anything to say?"
Kanpū sat there calmly and said: "This matter has nothing to do with us!"
It really has nothing to do, because Kanpū has guessed the identity of the attacker, as it must be Taki!
As for Taki's purpose of doing this, it should be to attract Yagura to leave the village so that they can attack him!
It's just that by doing so, he seemed to have made his group shoulder the blame.
"It has nothing to do…"
Elder Genki knocked on the snake-shaped wooden staff in his hand, and said with a snort, "The attacker used Gentle Fist. Do you want to quibble about that?"
Kanpū knew that by entangling with them on Gentle Fist would definitely make them on the passive, so he decisively issued a soul torture, and said coldly: "One, the motive of committing the crime! If our people attacked these people, what is our purpose of doing this?"
Hearing this, Yagura and Genki frowned. This is also their doubt, otherwise, they would have already captured Kanpū without calling them here.
"Second, all of us were resting in the small courtyard last night. Mizukage-dono should have arrange your Shinobi to monitor us. If any of us leave, he will definitely know about it."
Seeing they didn't respond, Kanpū continued, "Three, after we arrived at Kirigakure, Mizukage-dono arranged Kirigakure's Shinobi as surveillance around each of us. Those who can be sent out by Mizukage-dono must be Anbu's elites. If we do anything, we must not be able to hide it from them."
Kanpū said all the reasons calmly.
Yagura and Yuanshi subconsciously nodded when they heard this.
But…
"Gentle Fist is Hyuga Clan's Taijutsu. Even if the attacker is not among those present, they must be inseparable from the Hyuga Clan!"
Genki squinted his muddy eyes, his gaze swept across Kanpū, and he said, "And Hyuga Clan is the Noble Clan of Konoha. As the representative of the Hokage, Gekko Kanpū, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
"Of course, it is necessary to catch the perpetrators in the shortest time, and then severely punish them!"
Kanpū slapped the table and stand up, then righteously said, "Mizukage-dono, please let us go to the place where they were attacked to investigate!"
Yagura did not speak.
Kanpū said caringly: "If Mizukage-dono doesn't trust us, you can supervise us personally!"
