Amegakure.
The 22nd floor of the central steel tower.
A dark, vague thought projection suddenly appeared in front of Deva Path Pain like a mirage.
"For you to contact me in such a hurry, is there anything wrong…"
Deva Path Pain looked at the image of the thinking body in the shape of a pitcher plant in front of him with no emotion, "Zetsu."
"I just got an information from the black market that I think you will be interested in." The speaker is Black Zetsu, with a gloomy and cold tone.
"Say it." Deva Path Pain was too lazy to play charades with him.
"Konoha has just issued an arrest warrant for Hyuga Taki!" White Zetsu said first with a smile.
Black Zetsu glanced at himself, and then said, "At the same time, the arrest warrant of a certain S-Rank Missing-nin was cancelled!"
Suddenly hearing such explosive information, Deva Path Pain still looked expressionless and steady. After all, he is just a puppet with no emotions.
"Sure enough, there's traitor in Akatsuki."
Deva Path Pain said, "The Missing-nin whose bounty was canceled must be Konoha's undercover agent."
"Yes, it's Shisui of the Body Flicker!" Black Zetsu said coldly.
"I have notified my clone to monitor Shisui, he can't escape." White Zetsu said with a laugh.
"Things are not that simple!"
Deva Path Pain lowered his head slightly, "Shisui… how did he know the identity of Hyuga Taki!"
"Uh …" White Zetsu couldn't explain.
"Hyuga Taki 'died' in Kirigakure's battlefield before, and Shisui of the Body Flicker also made a name for himself on Kirigakure's battlefield. Could it be that the two of them knew each other at that time?"
Black Zetsu said thoughtfully, "After entering Akatsuki, could it be that Shisui recognized Hyuga Taki with thought projection meeting?"
"The possibility of that is too low."
Deva Path Pain shook his head and said, "Compared to this possibility, I am more inclined to think that your clone was affected by Shisui's Genjutsu."
White Zetsu was startled: "Hey, if that's the case, then I…"
"Then you told the clone to watch Shisui, but you are actually tipping off the news, idiot!" Black Zetsu said with a snort.
"What kind of attitude are you having now!" White Zetsu was exasperated and exclaimed, "I never saw you stop me before, but now you're blaming me!"
"Hmph." Black Zetsu snorted coldly, not even bothering to pay attention to this idiot.
"Okay, this matter…" Deva Path Pain suddenly stopped when he said this.
"What's wrong?" Black Zetsu asked strangely.
"Immediately send an order to kill Shisui of the Body Flicker and your clone." Deva Path Pain suddenly waved his hand impatiently, "That's it."
After he said that, he directly dismissed Zetsu's thought projection.
"Jiraiya…sensei, you came in after all."
Deva Path Pain slowly walked to the edge of the tower, lowered his head and looked down. The continuous heavy rain and hazy rain and fog completely blocked the view under the tower, but through Rain Tiger at Will Technique, Deva Path Pain can clearly perceive a familiar figure moving through the rain curtain at high speed.
It is him, Yahiko and Konan's mentor: Jiraiya, one of Konoha's Sannin!
In fact, from the moment Jiraiya stepped into Amegakure, Deva Path Pain, no, it should be Nagato, have sensed his existence. But due to the relationship between teacher and student, he didn't take action, and even let Jiraiya messed around in Amegakure.
But…
'Why did you walk into this tower?'
At the top of the tower, Nagato, who is sitting in a wheelchair, slowly opens his eyes.
At this time, Nagato's cheeks are deeply sunken, the corners of the eyes are densely covered with wrinkles, and there is dry, greasy red hair with split ends on his head. At this time, he looks like a forty or fifty-years-old middle- aged old man.
With a silent sigh, Nagato closed his eyes again. In an instant, in the darkness behind him, the other five Pain opened their eyes at the same time, and rushed towards the bottom of the tower like a hurricane.
...
Land of Fire.
Konoha.
After walking around with Mei and Ao until the afternoon, Mei returned to the hot spring inn on the grounds of being tired.
As for dinner… Mei said: No appointment.
What else can Kanpū do? He can only go home alone.
After arriving home, Kanpū locked himself in the bedroom, and then directly went 'online' and teleported to the underground base at the Forest of Death.
"You, go to Akatsuki." Kanpū pointed at a Byakugan shadow clone.
"Understood!"
The Byakugan shadow clone chuckled: 'Finally, I don't have to hide underground and monitor all day long, I can finally go out and play around!'
Under the envious gazes of the rest of Byakugan shadow clone, the new Hyuga Taki proudly activated Sage Mode and heads to the sea of stars!
Then, Kanpū disbanded those shadow clones who has been comprehending the Yin-Yang Release. After harvesting the leeks, there was no urge of gaining enlightenment. Kanpū shook his head and then create another batch of shadow clones to continue to comprehend.
Kanpū then went 'online' again and teleported all the way from Konoha to the Land of Iron's capital, and all the way to the Konoha Tavern.
Because it was not meal time yet, there is no one in the shop except Kabuto, who sits alone in a daze.
Sensing someone coming in, Kabuto's eyes flashed, and when he saw Kanpū, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "My lord."
"How is the experiment?" Kanpū asked directly.
Kabuto smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My lord, it will still take some time."
Kanpū walked into the underground laboratory and wandered around, focusing on observing the white mice in the iron cages in the corner. All of these white mice have been transplanted with diluted Hashirama's cells, and some of the wood attributes in their bodies have been removed, and the bodies of the remaining white mice had grown to varying degrees.
But compared to the extra-large white mouse he saw last time, these ones are obviously much smaller.
It's obvious that Kabuto's experiment is heading towards success step by step!
Kanpū felt happy when he saw this.
"My lord, how are Sister Nono and the orphanage?" Kabuto, who followed behind, asked softly.
"Don't worry, they are all fine, you don't have to worry." Kanpū patted his big muscles domineeringly.
Although he has never pay attention to orphanage, Tabako has sent their clansman to stay in orphanage. On one hand, it is to monitor that the funds funded by Gekko Clan have not been embezzled, and on the other hand, they can also help Nono handle some things and preent some messy people from harassing the orphanage.
If something happens to Nono, Kanpū will definitely know!
When Kabuto heard the confidence and determination in Kanpū's words, he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on his face, and beautiful pictures seemed to flash in his eyes.
Seeing his idiotic appearance, Kanpū shook his head and walked away.
Leaving the Land of Iron along the 'network cable', Kanpū did not return to Konoha. Instead, he diverted to the border and captured three bandits before returning to Forest of Death's underground base. He then takes out the Byakugan, and began to use Impure World Reincarnation.
With the Byakugan shadow clones nearby, Kanpū is not afraid of being discovered. After a few minutes, Kanpū completed the three collections.
He successfully collected Byakugan Kekkei Genkai from one of them, and from the remaining two, he collected Gentle Fist Art- Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, which is better than nothing.
After finishing all these trivial matters, Kanpū teleported back to the mansion.
Keiko hadn't left work yet, but Hoshino has already back, and this time, he is reading in the study.
Kanpū went over to chat for a few words, but was kicked out without saying anything.
Leaving the study room, Kanpū lazily patrolled the territory, and suddenly found a few sneaky figures running towards the backyard quietly.
Kanpū's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly used Transparent Release to follow them.
"Naruto, what do you want to say, you are so mysterious?" Karin said very impatiently as she was dragged by Naruto to the corner of the backyard.
Hinata, who is trotting behind, are blushing and looked at Naruto with great interest.
"Shhhhh, this is a big event!" Naruto looked around and after seeing that there was no one is nearby, he solemnly took out a crumpled letter from his pocket.
Karin's eyes widened and she said suspiciously: "Hey, you idiot, are you trying to give me a love letter?!"
"Love letter?"
Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard this, 'That's a good idea, maybe it can make Sakura-chan fall in love with me!'
"I refuse!" Karin thought she had guessed the truth, and refused decisively.
"It's not a love letter!"
Naruto angrily said, "This is… this is a letter from someone else to my father, and that Shinobi sealed it with Fuinjutsu."
"Isn't Naruto's father Yondaime Hokage-sama?"
Hinata felt a little uneasy, "Naruto, isn't this bad?"
"It's okay." Naruto casually said, but his eyes kept looking at Karin.
"Fuinjutsu?"
Karin is also fearless, and she was intrigued as soon as she heard about Fuinjutsu.
A few years ago, when she was brought to Konoha by Kanpū, she was asked to learn Fuinjutsu, and then under the guidance of Kushina in the past few years, she did have an initial mastery of a few simple Fuinjutsu.
"Let me take a look." Karin took the letter and checked it, and sure enough, she found a powerful Fuinjutsu on it.
"How about it? Can you remove it?" Naruto asked nervously.
"I don't know, let me try first."
Karin solemnly and happily laid the letter flat on the grass, then made a series of hand seals, and finally clasped her hands together, "Fuin Kai!"
"It's done?"
Naruto picked up the letter excitedly, but unfortunately, he still couldn't open it. He squinted at Karin with a dissatisfied look on his face and said with a snort, "Didn't you say that you are good at Fuinjutsu? Why can't you even remove a Fuinjutsu?"
"This is definitely not an ordinary Fuinjutsu!"
Karin tried to argue, but thinking of Naruto's wisdom, she immediately gave up this plan, so she decisively changed the subject, "Where did you get this letter from?"
"It's from that idiot Sasuke."
Naruto held the back of his head with his hands, and said nonchalantly, "Maybe it has something to do with his big brother's big brother."
Sasuke usually harassed Naruto from time to time, and will bring up the big brother of Sasuke's big brother who defected from the village. Naruto is not stupid. Of course he knows Sasuke's little plans. If only Sakura doesn't like Sasuke, he would be happy to help.
When Karin heard that it was Sasuke's letter, she immediately became excited, but before she could make a move, a black shadow suddenly flashed by and snatched the letter.
"Who?!" Naruto, Karin, and Hinata, who had been standing silently beside them, shouted in unison.
"It's me." The one who snatched the letter is naturally Kanpū who followed them stealthily.
"Big brother?" Karin.
"Brother Kanpū." Hinata.
"Kanpū-sensei?!" Naruto.
The three kids' eyes widened.
"Sensei, you are finally back." Naruto ran over and looked at Kanpū up and down, and then asked, "But sensei, why are you stealing my letter?"
"Naruto…"
Kanpū looked at this shameless brat with a weird expression and said, "You may be beaten again when you go home."
"Why?"
Naruto looked dumbfounded, then scratched his head strangely: 'Why did sensei say 'again'?'
