Chapter 492 It'll Be You, Hyuga Taki

When he woke up, it was dark.

Kanpū lay on the futon without getting up in a hurry, and began to think about the situation in Akatsuki.

'Juzo is dead, and Kakuzu lost his teammate. Nagato and Konan must find him a 'reliable' partner for Kakuzu in the shortest possible time. After all, Kakuzu is Akatsuki's 'financial management' expert, so without putting a teammate by his side, Nagato and Konan will not feel at ease.

'According to the plot, Akatsuki's official members also include Iwagakure's S-Rank Missing-nin, Deidara, Yugakure's S-Rank Missing-nin, Hidan, Kirigakure's S-Rank Missing-nin, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Konoha's undercover agent, Uchiha Itachi. Except for Hoshigaki Kisame, the other four people are still eleven-twelve or even a nine-year-old little brat. No matter how good their talent is, it is impossible for them to get into Akatsuki's eyes.'

'That's why Nagato naturally set his sights on the Abyss.'

'Hehe, by letting me put double agent into Akatsuki again, Nagato is simply sending wolves into his home!'

Kanpū turned over on futon, 'But Abyss is really not much now.'

'Among Kekkei Genkai Shadow Clone, in addition to Hyōketsu, there are only Explosion-Style Shadow Clone and Byakugan Shadow Clone.

And according to Hyōketsu's memory, any member who joins Akatsuki will definitely have their information collected. Tenkū's information can only be traced back to the battle with Sasori of the Red Sand, and further on, 'he' is invisible, as he never exists. This weak spot is neither too big nor too small, but if it's Zetsu, I don't know what the consequences will be.'

'It's not a big problem to have Byakugan Shadow Clone, as I can just use the identity of Hyuga Clan's Branch House Shinobi who died in the Third Shinobi World War.'

'And…'

Kanpū stroked his chin and thought carefully, 'The more I think about it, the more I felt that Byakugan Shadow Clone is very suitable for Akatsuki!'

'As everyone knows, everyone in Hyuga Clan's Branch House has Caged Bird. Their life and death are at the hands of the Main House. The Byakugan Shadow Clone can use this matter as a point of contact to express his hatred and unwillingness to the Main House. So in the wartime period, he faked his death. After joining Abyss, he always wanted to find a chance to take revenge on the Main House. Unfortunately, Abyss didn't do anything. Then, he learned of Akatsuki's existence from Hyōketsu …'

'It's a perfect and impeccable reason!'

Kanpū is so excited: 'As expected of the genius me, I can even think of Byakugan Shadow Clone's 'whole sequence of events' in such a short time. This reason can definitely fool Akatsuki!'

'Then, all that remains is to choose the identity of the Hyuga Clan's Branch House's clansman.'

Kanpū turned over again and continued to think.

'First of all, this man has died in the battlefield.'

'Secondly, this person must be 'dead but not dead'!'

'Finally, I must quickly collect Gentle Fist and so on as soon as possible, lest this Byakugan Shadow Clone is bullied in Akatsuki.'

After sorting out these thoughts, Kanpū lights up the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai first, and then creates his shadow clone, Yuki Hyōketsu.

"Are you sure?" Hyōketsu said in a low voice after he came out.

Kanpū didn't want to say more, and just waved his hand and said: "Safety first."

Hyōketsu nodded slightly, and then disappeared in an instant.

Then, Kanpū got up to get dressed, went to the kitchen to grab some food to fill his stomach, and then left the mansion straight away.

Walking around all the way, it is unknown if it's because of a guilty conscience, but Kanpū always feels that he has a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, which makes him extremely uncomfortable.

So Kanpū hid in the public toilet, left a shadow clone to squat in the toilet, and after leaving a kunai engraved with his Flying Thunder God Technique's imprint, Kanpū activated his Transparent Release, he left the public toilet without anyone noticing.

Walking all the way to the Konoha Hospital, the invisible Kanpū entered the hospital openly.

Since it's not the wartime now, Konoha Hospital didn't arrange Sensor Shinobi to patrol day and night, so Kanpū easily found the hospital's archives room after wandering around for a while.

Peeping through the gap, Kanpū sneaked into the archive room. Kanpū put on his crime tool: the gloves, and quickly searched around.

During the Third Shinobi World War, the list of all Shinobi who died on the frontline will be reported to Konoha, one to Hokage Tower, and one to Konoha Hospital for death certificates.

Kanpū can't Namikaze Minato, so he can only come to the hospital to check the files by himself.

The archive room was a bit dark, but fortunately, the moonlight outside the window made him barely able to see.

Five minutes later, Kanpū successfully found the death list for the Third Shinobi World War.

The death list is placed in a folder, which contains dozens of sheets of paper. The papers are all densely packed with with the names and basic information of the dead Shinobi.

After turning over a dozen pages, Kanpū found a series of names beginning with Hyuga.

Leaded by Hyuga Nobuyuki and Hyuga Hirofumi, the two are the previous generation of Hyuga Clan's Clan Head, as unfortunately, they both died in the battlefield.

Kanpū continued to look down, but he didn't know who was who. He looked at the notes at the back, but the matter about remains or so on was not written. Kanpū was disappointed and helpless, so he could only write down the names of these people on his small notebook.

A few minutes later, Kanpū put away his notebook and pen, then put the folder back in place, and double-checked carefully. After confirming that there were no flaws left, Kanpū closes his eyes to sense his Flying Thunder God Technique's coordinates.

The public toilet that Kanpū entered before is about 20 kilometers away from the Konoha Hospital, so he just needs one jump!

Whoosh…

An invisible wave of air flashed under Kanpū's feet, and in the next instant, he disappeared from the archives room.

Walking out of the public toilet, Kanpū walked back home in silence.

The hospital's archives did not specify any information about the remains. In this way, apart from digging the tomb for confirmation, the only way to find out about the situation was with members of the Hyuga Clan.

In his mind, several friends from the Hyuga clan appeared.

In the next few days, Kanpū arranged for his shadow clone to go to Anbu to sign in, while his real body is wandering around the Hyuga Clan's settlement.

Kanpū met several Shinobi from Hyuga Clan when he was in the Academy. One is the Hyuga Ueki, Shisui's classmate, and the other is Hyuga Shinichi, who is the big brother of the Hyuga Ueki and has a pretty good relationship with Kanpū.

Kanpū remembered that back then, he sparred with Shinichi several times, and collected the incomplete version of Gentle Fist from Shinichi.

It's a pity that after graduation, the two have not been in contact for many years!

Kanpū condemned himself secretly: 'Why did I become someone who not poor relatives when I am rich?'

To apologize, Kanpū comes and waits of Shinichi's house regardless of the cold wind or rain.

Two days later, Kanpū smoothly found Shinichi, who has become a young adult.

"You are…"

Kanpū pretended to meet by chance and looked Shinichi, who was walking towards him, with surprise.

Shinichi looked Kanpū and showed a similar expression, and after a while, he called out: "Gekko Kanpū?!"

"Hyuga Shinichi-senpai!"

The two of them confirmed each other's identity, and couldn't help but laughed heartily.

"Kanpū, although I haven't seen you again after graduation, I have heard a lot about you. Your growth is really amazing." The two walked side by side on the street, and Shinichi recalled the past with a a sorrowful face.

Kanpū immediately followed the prepared script and said: "This is not my credit. After I went to battlefield, the elders of the clan took great care of me. Not only did they save my life several times, but also taught me everything about Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, I, I, I… I miss them so much!"

Shinichi also had many elders who died during the Third Shinobi World War, so when he heard Kanpū said that, he suddenly became a bit sad.

The two chatted for a few words, and couldn't help but strolled to the Konoha's Cemetery.

The cemetery is very large, and the northeast corner of the cemetery is dedicated to bury the Shinobi who died on the Third Shinobi World War's battlefield.

After the two entered, Kanpū first took Shinichi to pay respect to the Gekko Clan's clansmen. Every time he came to a tombstone, Kanpū would tell a tear-jerking story, in which there were many times of them saving Kanpū, leading to the tragic story doesn't even exist.

Seeing Kanpū's eyes, which are full of tear, Shinichi was also moved by the Will of Fire of Gekko Clan's clansmen, and he was unable to speak for a long time while holding Kanpū's hand.

After visiting the Gekko Clan's clansmen, they went to Hyuga Clan's clansmen.

Although Shinichi is from the Branch House, he never found himself in dangerous situation. With Kanpū as the example, he also added details while telling a story. Kanpū listened carefully until they came to a tombstone with the name of Hyuga Taki.

"Uncle Taki often taught me Gentle Fist since I was young, and he also taught me the principles of being a human being. He leads by example, he…"

After a lot of ramblings, Shinichi finally got to the point, "Unfortunately, during the Third Shinobi World War, in order to protect a batch of important supplies, Uncle Taki led ten Kirigakure's Shinobi alone, and finally jumped off the cliff, leaving no remains left!"

'It'll be you!'

At this moment, Kanpū shed tears excitedly.
