Deep in the forest of the Land of Grass.
Kanpū and the others were taking a break, and about an hour later, Itachi caught up with them.
"Itachi, is everything going well?" Shisui stepped forward and asked with concern.
It was Kanpū who glanced at him before, then he winked at Itachi, and then Itachi quietly stayed in Kusagakure.
Just one look is enough for the tacit understanding between them.
"Everything went well, I got the clues." Itachi said as he took out a green scroll.
'As expected of Itachi, he's so easy to use!'
Kanpū took it with a smile, opened it and was stunned.
There is only one clue in the huge scroll!
And this clue is the kind that can be discovered at a glance at the scene: Where all the villages disappeared, only a huge pothole was left in the same place.
Below this clue, there is also a bold and elongated note from Kusagakure: Suspected of being bombed by Explosive Tag.
Kanpū frowned slightly. He thought it was Deva Path Pain who was plowing the ground with Shinra Tensei, but Shinra Tensei would not cause an explosion!
Seeing Kanpū's expression of bitterness and hatred, everyone hurriedly leaned over to check. When they saw the content, they were all 'shocked'.
"So…"
Tenzo crossed his arms and said strangely, "It's not that the leader of Kusagakure is not unwilling to give us clues, but that he doesn't have any other useful clues at all?"
"I thought that he wanted to sabotage our investigation, hmph, so it's just because they're afraid of making a fool of themselves."
"It seems Kusagakure is merely this."
"Well, it's just a small Shinobi Village after all. We really can't count on them."
"In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves!"
The group of extras said arrogantly one after another.
Kanpū came back to his senses, his eyes moved from the scroll to the group of extras, and then to Shisui who had a solemn face at the side, and asked: "Shisui, what do you think?"
As the captain, it is necessary to consult with the opinions of each team member, and then make a summary of it.
Shisui then said: "No matter how weak Kusagakure is, it is still a Ninja Village with a large number of Shinobi. There shouldn't be no shortage of Elite Jonin who is good at investigating…"
The extras were taken aback when they heard this.
Itachi then followed his brother along, and said: "I found that the leader of Kusagakure sent at least a hundred Kusagakure's Shinobi to the disappearing village to investigate, but… the only clue is this one!"
"Did you hear that? Don't think that just because you're the subordinates of me, Gekko Kanpū, you can be arrogant, you guys… don't underestimate this Shinobi World!!!" Kanpū concluded.
Then, he let everyone rest for another half an hour, and then continue to set off, and finally arrived at the nearest destroyed 'village' in the evening.
At this moment, the village has disappeared, leaving only a huge pothole in place.
The surface of the pothole was covered with black scorch marks. When Kanpū touched it, he felt the texture was extremely tough, which was obviously caused by the impact of air waves and flames generated by the violent explosion.
"What kind of explosion can cause such terrifying effect?"
"Unbelievable!"
"There's no way it's Explosive Tag!"
If hundreds or thousands of Explosive Tags are used, a village can indeed be destroyed, but the air waves generated by the explosion will surely be criss-crossed, and it would have left a lot of potholes, not just one.
Therefore, the reason for the disappearance of this village was because it was hit by an incredible and powerful bomb …
'Hmm…'
'Huh?'
'Hmm!'
'It could only be him.'
Kanpū looked up at the towering rock walls on the Land of Earth's border and looked at the sky above the pothole.
Deidara's figure appeared in his mind.
'This guy can use detonating clay to create flying animals that fly in the air, and by dropping super bombs from mid-air, it will naturally not leave any traces on the scene, that's why Kusagakure can't find any clues.'
At this time, Shisui, Tenzo and the others had already searched around the edge of the pothole, but they did not find any clues even after the moon reached the top of their head.
The group of extras came back dejectedly.
Kanpū then asked: "How is it?"
Shisui showed bitter expression and shook his head: "There are no clues."
"I didn't find it either."
"It must have been destroyed by Kusagakure's Shinobi."
The others also spoke one after another.
Kanpū's face straightened up. He suddenly exuded a majestic aura, and said coldly: "So it's just like that. What did you say that the Kusagakure is unreliable and the Kusagakure is merely this just now? How is it? Does your face hurt now?"
Everyone didn't dare to say anything.
Only Shisui dared to speak and said: "Although there are no clues, based on the traces of the explosion, I suspect that the other party may have attacked from the air."
"Shisui, your suspicion…"
Kanpū was about to say a few words of praise when his mind suddenly shook, followed by a flood of memories pouring in.
This is the memory from Taki.
Kanpū took a second to receive, and then was dumbfounded.
'Orochimaru… really wants to cooperate with Abyss?'
'And he actually wanted to send Kimimaro to Abyss?'
"Captain?"
"Captain Husky!"
When the group of extras saw Kanpū suddenly stopped talking halfway through, they all looked confused.
Kanpū came back to his senses, coughed dryly, and continued: "Shisui's suspicion is correct. The murderer came from in the sky, threw a bomb in the air to complete the attack, and then left from the air. So you are the same as those idiot Kusagakure's Shinobi, unable to find any clues!"
Shisui frowned and said: "But Kanpū, there are only a handful of Shinobi who has the ability to fly in the Shinobi World, and coupled with such a terrifyingly powerful explosion, I really can't think of anyone who meets these two conditions."
"There is one."
Kanpū has Abyss to take the blame anyway, so of course he can show off to his heart's content. He then waved his hand and said, "Iwagakure…Deidara!"
Then, Kanpū told them about Deidara's identity and his Explosion Release's characteristics. Everyone felt he is indeed the culprit from the explanation, however…
"Captain, how did you know about this Deidara?"
"It sounds like he's very powerful, but why didn't his reputation spread in the Shinobi World?"
The extras asked one after another.
Kanpū shook his head and said: "How do you usually tell you? Read more books, read more newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more. It's all because you don't do anything serious every day, so you don't know this!"
After fiercely reprimanded them, Kanpū announced to take a break.
When everyone was setting up the camp, Shisui came over and asked: "Kanpū, shall we continue to investigate?"
It involves the disciple of Sandaime Tsuchikage after all. If this matter is investigated in depth, it is likely to cause turmoil in the Shinobi World.
Kanpū thought for a while and said: "Deidara has an arrogant and domineering personality, even Sandaime Tsuchikage may not be able to hold him. Shisui, go to the black market to see if there is a wanted warrant for Deidara, and then I will create some a shadow clone to check out the other villages that have disappeared. If there are no accidents, we can go back and report tomorrow."
It's not that he doesn't want to catch Deidara, but Deidara has air superiority and can come and go without a trace, so he couldn't catch him even if he wanted to.
Unless Kanpū turned into Hyōketsu, and use Ice Release to fly around in the air.
But this is his 'hidden profession', and it can't be exposed just because of one Deidara.
Besides, he also needs to return to Konoha quickly to deal with Kimimaro's 'Entering Abyss Ceremony'!
After the discussion, Shisui quickly disappeared, looking for the nearest black market.
On the other hand, with a bang, Kanpū created a shadow clone in front of everyone.
Because the light smoke enveloped Kanpū and the shadow clone, others could not tell whether it was the main body or the shadow clone that left.
When he was far away, Kanpū decisively created another shadow clone and asked him to go to the nearby disappearing village to see. Then, the main body activated Sage Mode and returned to Konoha along the 'network cable'.
More than ten seconds later, Kanpū has already appeared in the Forest of Death.
