From the one hundred billion Explosive Tags, Kanpū promised Minato to hand in 75 billion of them. However, with the current Shinobi World being so peaceful, Kanpū didn't hesitate to take the first 20 billion for himself.
After finishing the job, Kanpū returned to Konoha. By now, the snowfall had intensified, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the roof and treetops.
Many kids dressed like little bears were shouting and playing in the snow on the streets, attracting barks from stray dogs.
'This snowy weather is perfect for soaking in a hot spring…' Kanpū didn't feel like going to work anymore.
After sending a shadow clone to the Anbu to train his subordinates, Kanpū changed course and headed to Ichigo Hot Spring.
Even though it was still early in the morning, Ichigo Hot Spring is already open for business. Some stinky men who stay up all night are drinking in the hot spring pool and chatting loudly.
Kanpū entered the courtyard from the back door, and saw a few Kirigakure's Shinobi cleaning the accumulated snow in the courtyard. However, the more they cleared, the more the snow seemed to accumulate.
They paid no attention to Kanpū when he entered, as they already got used to his presence.
"Mei, Mei, Mei…"
Kanpū knocked on the door of Mei's bedroom, and Mei, dressed in a kimono, walked out. Her long brown hair cascaded down like a waterfall from her ample chest, revealing a subtle and snowy white delicacy between the strands.
However, there was still a hint of drunkenness in Mei's eyes, indicating that she had drunk too much again last night.
Kanpū quickly supported her into the bedroom, then righteously said to the people outside: "Aiya, the snow outside is too heavy. Come in quickly, don't catch a cold."
With that, he closed the sliding door.
Mei lay back lazily on the warm and comfortable futon, then said with a snort: "Why are you here again?"
'What do you mean 'again'…' Kanpū is quite dissatisfied, so he said with a snort: "Other than me, do you have any other friends in Konoha? If I don't come to see you, you'll die of loneliness."
Mei didn't want to bother with this annoying guy.
Kanpū then asked: "Ao hasn't come back yet?"
'Without that idiot as a foil, I can't show my 'specialties'!'
Mei sighed: "I received a letter from Ao, saying that Genji-sama has entrusted him with an important matter, so he won't be coming here for a while."
"Important matter?"
Kanpū narrowed his eyes: 'Could it be a collaboration with Orochimaru?'
'Konoha Crush Plan?'
"Don't ask me, I don't know." Mei said emotionlessly.
Kanpū snapped out of his thoughts and said with a smile: "I don't care about Kirigakure's affairs, but… sigh~~"
"What's wrong?" Mei asked, "Just say it if you have anything to say."
"I don't think I should say this…" Kanpū revealed a touch of sentiment, "Forget it, I won't say anything to affect your mood."
Mei frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with Kanpū's trickery. She sat up straight, stroked her beautiful hair playfully, and emitted a fragrance mixed with body scent and shampoo.
"Speak up!" Mei urged.
Kanpū sighed again and said: "Mei, you have been isolated by Elder Genji."
"Isolated?" Mei showed thoughtful look.
"Since the death of Yondaime Mizukage, the power of Iwagakure has been in the hands of Elder Genji, but he is already 78 years old, how can he still have the energy to handle all the official duties of a Great Shinobi Village?"
Kanpū continued, "In this situation, anyone would understand the need to elect the Godaime Mizukage as soon as possible and complete the transfer of power! And in Kirigakure, whether in terms of strength or reputation, you are number one! Your only shortcoming is experience, but experience is something that can be accumulated over a few years, so Elder Genji sent you to Konoha to avoid you accumulating experience in Kirigakure."
Mei looked at Kanpū expressionlessly: "You… Are you trying to sow discord between me and the Elder Genji-sama?"
'I didn't expect you to see through me like this… You see it so accurately.'
Kanpū pretended to sigh and said: "Mei, you've already realized it, haven't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be drowning your sorrows in alcohol."
"Shut up!" Mei glared at Kanpū fiercely.
However, her charming appearance didn't have much killing intent, and Kanpū, being tough, continued: "You can stop my mouth, but you…"
Mei does not wait for Kanpū to finish speaking and threw a punch at his face. Kanpū eyes lit up, relying on Minato's lightning-fast reflexes, he grabbed, pulled, hugged and flipped, rolling onto the futon with Mei.
Mei was furious, struggling to turn over and press Kanpū underneath her, then mercilessly pounding her small fist onto Kanpū.
Kanpū dodges while struggling… causing the scene to gradually turn into an H-rated one.
After more than ten minutes, Kanpū walked out of the bedroom with two black eyes.
Although he had just fought a fierce battle with Mei on futon, fiercely feeling something soft, he was unfortunately kicked out in the end.
'Why is it so difficult to get into a relationship?'
Kanpū felt uncomfortable.
...
Kirigakure.
Mizukage Building.
Genji is sitting on the sofa in Mizukage's Office, and a young secretary was giving him a massage, helping him relax and improve his body fat.
Knock, knock.
"Genji-sama." Ao's voice came from outside the office.
Genji waved his hand to signal his young secretary to open the door.
The door opened, and the young man with an eye patch walked in with his head high: "Genji-sama, one thousand elite Shinobi have been selected!"
After the end of the Joint Chunin Exam, Ao escorted Suigetsu and the others back to Kirigakure. After that, he intended to return to Konoha immediately, but he was told to stay behind by Genji, who also asked him to select one thousand elite Shinobi from the village's numerous Shinobi!
Genji got up while holding a snake-shaped cane, and nodded appreciatively: "Ao, I didn't misjudge you. Well done!"
Ao showed a humble expression: "Genji-sama, you praise me too much."
"Next, Ao, you will be responsible for training these one thousand elite Shinobi!" Genji said seriously.
"Me, to train them?" Ao was overjoyed. After all, he knew that among these one thousand elite Shinobi, many of them are Elite Jonin like him. Being asked to train them…
Dug, dug, dug!
Ao's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Genji said: "Ao, are you not willing?"
Ao suppressed his excitement and calmly said: "Genji-sama, I think Terumi Mei is more suitable for this position."
Genji shook his head slightly, and with a deep tone, he said: "She has a more important mission."
"This…" Ao's face stiffened. He had accompanied Mei for a year in Konoha, or rather, wasted a year there. The so-called important mission mentioned by Genji was nothing more than an imaginary pretext!
"Why, you're not willing?" Genji's face darkened, and he slammed his snake-shaped cane heavily on the solid floor.
Ao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head: "No, I am willing!"
Only then did Genji nod in satisfaction: "Go."
Ao turned around, but he seemed hesitant to say something.
"Do you want to ask what is the purpose of training these one thousand elite Shinobi?" Genji slowly sat back on the sofa.
Ao nodded: "Yes, please tell me, Genji-sama."
Genji shook his head, and said: "You don't need to know so much, this is the village's secret!"
"…I understand." Although Ao was a little unwilling, he was inherently loyal, so he could only nod and leave.
"Continue."
After Ao left, Genji looked towards his young secretary.
The young secretary, who is full of smiles, came over to give him a massage. She spoke slowly with a husky and cold voice, reminiscent of a venomous snake: "It seems that you don't fully trust Ao. Then, why did you entrust him to train those one thousand elite Shinobi?"
"This is my affair, it's none of your business, Orochimaru!" Genji narrowed his eyes.
A few months ago, Genji's young secretary inexplicably transformed into Orochimaru. This made Genji both heartbroken and furious, vowing to annihilate Orochimaru on the spot!
Orochimaru then said that he is just a clone, and his death wouldn't matter. However, if they killed him, Kirigakure will lose the opportunity to obtain Sanbi and rise in the Shinobi World.
Genji, being an old fox, immediately engaged in a heart-to-heart conversation with Orochimaru. Orochimaru's skillful tongue quickly convinced Genji that Sambi was in Konoha. Then, Orochimaru revealed his Konoha Crush Plan, and informed him that Sunagakure and Otogakure had already joined. After contemplating for a long time, Genji finally decided to join Orochimaru's Konoha Crush Plan. It was for this reason that a thousand elite Shinobi were selected!
Genji closed his eyes and sat on the sofa while enjoying Orochimaru's service. He silently looking forward to the beautiful scene of his Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Otogakure jointly attacking and conquering Konoha three years later.
Then, several vague figures flashed into his mind.
Genji opened his eyes: "Orochimaru, do you really have confidence in dealing with the Yellow Flash, Shisui of the Body Flicker, and Gekko Kanpū?"
'The young secretary' said with a sneer: "Don't worry. In three years, even without you guys, I can cursh Konoha on my own!"
With the Chimera Technique, along with Uchiha Shin, Sharingan, and the Wood Release Ninjutsu contained in Hashirama's cells, Orochimaru felt invincible!
