The customer flow of Ichiraku Ramen was pretty good today, and Kanpū's group of the three waited for a few minutes before they could order.
Seeing that it was Kanpū, Teuchi specially added an egg to his ramen.
As the host, Kanpū took the initiative to put the eggs into Mei's bowl.
Mei didn't refuse, and while eating the eggs, she made insinuations about Sanbi, trying to obtain useful information from Kanpū.
But who is Kanpū?
As outstanding Konoha's cadre, ahem, Anbu!
No matter how aggressive Mei is, he will stick to the bottom line and will not reveal any confidential information!
Mei was disappointed and in a bad mood, even the eggs are not fragrant anymore!
After eating the ramen, Mei asked to see Minato. As she plans to continue to ask for compensation from Namikaze Minato.
After Kanpū paid the money, he led them to the Hokage Tower.
It's a pity that Minato is busy at this time, so Mei and Ao only met the Advisor, Hiruzen.
Hiruzen is an old fox. He expressed serious doubts about the death of the Yondaime Mizukage's death under Gentle Fist, and even slander Kirigakure for pushing the blame to Konoha!
Mei was furious. She put her left hand on her waist and pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen with her right hand, spitting out 'beautiful' words.
As a veteran, Hiruzen smokes his pipe unperturbed and said: "Unless the body of Yondaime Mizukage is sent to Konoha and handed over to Konoha's Anbu for inspection, Konoha will never accept Kirigakure's statement!"
"You!!!"
Mei was furious when she heard this. If Kanpū hadn't hugged her waist from behind, she would have attacked Hiruzen on the spot!
Ao didn't know whether to persuade Mei to calm down or to pull Kanpū away, so he just stood on the side with a bitter face.
"I have calmed down, let me go!" After Mei's anger calmed down, she realized that she had been taken advantage of.
Kanpū then let go of his hands in awe, and said seriously: "Terumi Mei, the person standing in front of you is not only our Konoha's advisor, but also Sandaime Hokage, so you must give him basic respect!"
"You don't need to talk about that kind of thing."
Mei rolled her eyes angrily. She turned her head to look at Hiruzen, and said solemnly, "It is impossible to transport the body of Yondaime Mizukage-sama to Konoha, but… you can send Anbu to Kirigakure instead!"
Hiruzen shook his head and said: "Since the Third Shinobi World War ended, Yondaime has cut Anbu's funding, so Anbu is short of manpower all the year round, and it is really impossible to squeeze out manpower to go to Kirigakure."
Mei is speechless upon hearing this.
Although he knew that Hiruzen must be lying, Mei could not refute it.
The two sides communicated for a while, and soon became tired of each other.
"I'm old, I'm old."
Hiruzen stood up and said, "Let's stop here today, Terumi Mei-dono."
Hiruzen is old enough and experienced enough to be qualified to stand in front of the envoy of Kirigakure.
Even if Terumi Mei is unhappy, she can only nod: "Then I will come again tomorrow."
No matter what, she will come every day unless the compensation was negotiated!
Leaving Hokage Tower, Kanpū saw that it was getting late, so he proposed to take Mei to eat Konoha's Barbecue.
"Eat, eat, eat, do you only know how to eat all day long?" Mei is still unhappy at this moment, so Kanpū is the one she vented her anger on.
"Life is about eating and drinking!" Kanpū said with a serious expression on his face.
"What do you mean?" Mei frowned.
Kanpū said: "Well, there's other also other thing…"
"…"
Mei didn't want to talk to Kanpū, and rolled her eyes and turned away.
Kanpū knew that Mei didn't want to be disturbed, so he didn't chase, and instead smiled and waved goodbye behind her.
When Mei and Ao walked away, Kanpū turned around and entered Hokage Tower again.
After Genma reported his presence, Kanpū smoothly entered the office and met Minato.
Minato has actually not been very busy this morning. As for why he refused Mei on the pretext of being busy, it is also very simple. After all, he is a Village's Kage. Kirigakure's envoy has been able to see him for the first two times, it's all because he's giving Kirigakure face, but there's no way he can let them see him everyday, right?
After all, he is the leader of Shinobi World's Number 1 Shinobi Village.
"Kanpū, Orochimaru knows that you have joined Abyss." Minato said with a smile when he saw Kanpū come in.
"Huh?"
Kanpū was startled, 'How did Orochimaru know?'
'Wait, why did Minato know that Orochimaru knew I had joined Abyss?'
Seeing Kanpū's bewildered expression, Minato said in a serious voice: "Orochimaru's clone sneaked into my house last night."
Hearing this, Kanpū's pupils shrank: "Is Naruto okay?"
Minato smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Naruto is okay."
Kanpū was relieved when he heard this. Although Naruto is the savior in the original work, he is still a child at this time, so there's no way he can face Orochimaru, even if it's just the other party's clone.
Minato continued: "He sneaked into my house and told me about your joining Abyss on the pretext of trading, but his real purpose was to make me suspicious of you and to sow discord between us. "
"How dare Orochimaru play crafty plots and machinations in front of Hokage-sama! It's ridiculous."
Kanpū calmly released some praise, and then said, "But for Orochimaru's clone to be able to sneak into Hokage-sama's house, it seems that the village's defense still has loopholes."
Minato said: "The barrier outside the village was not triggered last night, so Orochimaru most likely entered through the main gate."
"Then, those who guarded the main gate last night…" Kanpū suddenly thought of something, 'Could it be those two?'
"It's Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu, your contemporaries."
Minato sighed and said, "The two of them are just Chunin now, so it's not their fault that they couldn't detect Orochimaru's infiltration."
Kanpū quickly threw the blame in a righteous manner: "Hokage-sama, if someone do something wrong, they should be punished!"
Minato shook his head with a smile. He knew Kanpū was really worried about them, so he deliberately retreated in order to advance, but Minato did not say anything about it, and changed the subject: "Last night, Orochimaru got out of my toilet through the sewer. It's too terrifying!"
'Yeah, in case Orochimaru rushes up to bite you when you're meditating…'
Kanpū immediately shudders just after thinking about it.
'Wait!'
Immediately after, Kanpū suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "In the Anbu…"
Minato nodded solemnly.
There are naturally toilets in the Anbu's Headquarters, so in theory, Orochimaru can also sneak into the Anbu's Headquarters through the sewer and toilets.
And…
At the lowest level of the Anbu's Headquarters, there are two Jinchuriki being held!
And the place where they are detained also have toilets!
After all, Jinchuriki is also a human being, and as human beings they still have to eat, drink and poop!
Minato then said: "I have sent Anbu to guard the sewers, but…"
If Orochimaru really sneaks in from those places, ordinary Anbu will definitely not be able to stop him. But, he can't let Kanpū, who can stop Orochimaru, guard the sewers, right? As for the underground barrier under the Anbu's Headquarters, Minato felt that it can't stop the all-rounder Orochimaru. Even if the barrier issues an alarm in time, it will be enough for Orochimaru to do something troublesome!
Kanpū rolled his eyes and suggested: "Hokage-sama, why don't you just block the toilets and sewer where the Jinchuriki are being held?"
"Then how do they go to the toilet?" Minato didn't like to torture them so viciously.
"You can use chamber pot and bedpan!" Kanpū said calmly.
Although this is a little more troublesome, but by blocking the sewer and toilet, they no longer have to worry about Orochimaru going upstream through shits!
"Chamber pot? Bedpan?" Minato's eyes shone slightly when he heard this.
