"Brother Kanpū, what are you writing?"
In the depths of the forest in the morning, Tenzo swiftly arrived, holding two struggling moon rabbits in his hands.
Behind him are several members of the sixth team, each holding several wild games.
"Don't worry about these details, hurry up and process the game, everyone is hungry." Kanpū calmly put the small diary book into his pocket, with some emotion in his expression, 'In a blink of an eye, more than a year had passed, time was like a diary, truly not worth much.'
After breakfast, Kanpū assembled his subordinates and continued on their journey.
Since Kumogakure's Shinobi took over Yugakure a few days ago, with a large army pressing in, Minato sent most of the Anbu in the village, and Kanpū's sixth team was one of them.
A group of nearly twenty people hurriedly rushed there, and finally arrived at the border of the Land of Fire and Land of Hot Water, and met the Konoha's Shinobi guarding the border smoothly four days later.
The border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire is extremely long, winding from the southeast to the northwest, spanning more than two thousand kilometers, but there are only over three hundred Konoha's Shinobi stationed here.
At this moment, these three hundred or so Konoha's Shinobi had all gathered near the section of the border closest to Yugakure!
When Kanpū and his group arrived, the leader of more than 300 border Shinobi came out in person with his subordinates.
Kanpū looked at him and was stunned.
"Kanpū, long time no see." A thin figure with a high-collar trench coat and big sunglasses on his face walked slowly.
"Shi, Shi, Shikuro-sensei?" Kanpū had a horrified expression on his face.
'It turned out to be him?'
'No wonder that I haven't seen you in recent years. It turns out you were exiled by Yondaime!'
'But why?'
'Given Shikuro-sensei's presence, Minato couldn't possibly have noticed him. Is it because he was dragged down by his son?'
'In the original work, Shikuro-sensei's son, Aburame Torune, is indeed a Root's member, but in this life, Root has long been disbanded. It is estimated that when Root is disbanded, Torune had just graduated from the Academy, and it is impossible for him to join Root already.'
While pondering about this, another familiar crisp voice came: "Kanpū."
Kanpū took a look and found an old acquaintance.
"Yui!"
It's none other than Aburame Yui, Kanpū and Shisui's teammates from when they had just graduated!
"Why are you here?" Kanpū asked in surprise, 'Are you exiled too?'
Yui frowned slightly: "Same as you."
'Same as me… oh, come to think of it, Yui also joined Anbu many years ago.' The reason Kanpū forgot is Yui's team is in the intelligence department, which is different from the combat department where Kanpū's team is.
'But why did I never think about finding Yui to relive our old days when I was at work?'
'Could it be that I like new things and tired of old ones?'
'No, it must be because Yui's lack of presence that I'm not able to notice.'
With a guilty conscience, Kanpū quickly diverted the topic with: "Shikuro-sensei, it's been so many years since we last met. You've been diligently stationed here all this time, haven't you?"
Shikuro shook his head and said : "I was just passing by after a mission. After learning about the situation here, I decided to stay and was appointed as the leader by Yondaime-sama."
"…"
'Damn… Even if the two of you have a low presence, you still waste so much of my feelings. I want to break up!'
"It's a pity that Shisui is not there." Yui said regretfully.
If Shisui is here, all the members of the Team 2 that once dominated Shinobi World would be complete.
"Shisui is the Military Police Force's second-in-command now. Unless there is an emergency, it is unlikely that he will leave the village." Kanpū put his thoughts aside and got to the point, "Shikuro-sensei, how's the situation at the border now?"
Shikuro looked towards Yui, and instructed: "Yui, take Kanpū's men to rest first."
"Yes." Yui nodded, her slim face quickly returned to its cold demeanor. She looked towards Tenzo, Itachi and the others, nodded slightly, and said, "Follow me."
After Tenzo and the others left, Shikuro also dismissed the people who were following him, then took Kanpū towards the border one kilometer away.
"Yugakure is now occupied by Kumogakure's Shinobi. According to reports, there are at least five thousand elite Kumogakure's Shinobi gathered there. In addition, a large number of logistic Shinobi have been pouring in continuously, and the number is incalculable. "
The face under Shikuro's sunglasses gradually showed a solemn expression, "Kanpū, the war may begin soon."
'War…'
Hearing Shikuro's words, Kanpū's eyebrows furrowed tightly, 'This is unscientific!'
'It's only in August Konoha's Year 59, and Orochimaru's Konoha Crush Plan hasn't even started yet. Why did Kumogakure's Shinobi suddenly jump out?'
'And there is no such thing happening in the original work.
"Shikuro-sensei, what is Kumogakure's goal?" Kanpū asked intently.
Shikuro shook his head slightly: "A few days ago, I sent someone to negotiate, but they were detained by Kumogakure's Shinobi, so we still don't know what their purpose is."
'Detaining an envoy…' Kanpū's head ached, 'Kumogakure, you're behaving like a benevolent party.'
Of course, for Kanpū at this time, he fears nothing like war and so on. And even if he encounters Yondaime Raikage or his idiot brother, he's not afraid. But he has been in Konoha for so many years, and he has met more and more people, such as those of his subordinates. If they die on the battlefield, how can Kanpū bear it?
So, it's better not to fight if he can.
"Kanpū."
Shikuro slightly raised his head and looked towards the student, who is half a head taller than him, and said, "I think…"
'You'd better not think like that…' Kanpū's skipped a beat, instantly guessing the thought of this black-hearted teacher.
"I want to send you to Yugakure." Shikuro said.
'I knew it…' Kanpū remains expressionless as he nodded and said: "Okay, I will go."
'In order to find out Kumogakure's intentions, in order to prevent war, even if I have to pass through thousands of people, I'll go!'
Of course, the most important thing is Space-Time Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique. With this technique, even if Yondaime Raikage moves the entire Kumogakure to Yugakure, he will not be able to keep Kanpū!
That's how confident he is!
"Since the situation is urgent, when are you going to leave?" Shikuro asked.
"Tomorrow?" Kanpū hesitated, 'Shouldn't you let me rest for a night?'
'They all say it's not too late…' Shikuro nodded: "Alright, tomorrow it is!"
Then, the two returned to the makeshift camp.
As night fell, seven or eight Anbu teams arrived one after another. At this time, the number of Konoha's Shinobi gathered in the border had exceeded 500.
Although it can't compare with the Kumogakure's Shinobi in Yugakure, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated.
Midnight…
Kanpū suddenly opened his eyes.
'The Collection Technique has been refreshed, should I start collecting?'
'But I have to go to Yugakure to see Kumogakure's Shinobi tomorrow. In case I encounter a pretty wildflower… I should keep them.'
Kanpū closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep.
Early the next morning…
Kanpū got up early, freshened up, and prepared to bid farewell to Shikuro, but he was stopped along the way.
'Why do I feel like I've been stopped a lot recently…' Kanpū calmly asked: "Is there something you need, Tenzo, Itachi?"
It was indeed these two who were stopping him.
"Brother Kanpū, we'll go with you!" Tenzo said solemnly.
"Do you know where I'm going?" Kanpū's eyes widened: 'Tenzo, when did you become so smart?'
"Last night, we chatted with our companions stationed here, and learned of what happened in the last few days, Itachi speculated that Shikuro-sama will send you to Yugakure to investigate the cause of Kumogakure's abnormal movement. "Tenzo said.
'So that's how it is.'
Kanpū looked towards Itachi, 'Itachi's IQ is indeed high, and his Sharingan was also useful. Hmm, I'll take him.'
"Then Itachi, follow me." Kanpū said.
"Huh?"
Tenzo became anxious, quickly pointing to his square-shaped face, "Brother Kanpū, what about me?"
"You can just stay here." Kanpū waved his hand, "This is an order! Itachi, let's go."
"Yes." Itachi seemed to have expected this outcome. He turned around and followed Kanpū away.
