Chapter 853 Kanpū's Grand Plan!

End of August.

Konoha, Gekko Mansion.

Kanpū lazily lay on the wooden corridor, quietly watching the clouds drift by, feeling the tranquility of the passing years.

But in reality, there's no such thing as peaceful times in this world, and it's just someone else carrying the burden for you!

Like the NPC, Namikaze Minato!

After returning from the Land of Hot Water and Land of Fire's border, the Anbu's members went their separate ways and enjoyed two days of paid leave. In contrast, Minato immediately immersed himself in work, staying in Hokage's Office to handle official duties tirelessly!

Every time Kanpū thought of Minato still working in the office, he felt a pang of guilt!

'I shouldn't be like this!'

Kanpū got up from the wooden corridor in shame and sat down instead. Immediately, he felt more comfortable.

'Oh, right, there's also the matter of Killer B.'

Leaning against a wooden pillar, Kanpū formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone, then winked and said: "The task of finding Killer B is entrusted to you!"

"Hmph." The emotionless shadow clone glanced at the sitting figure of Kanpū with disdain and teleported away.

After leaving Konoha, the shadow clone exploded on the spot, transferring its memories instantly to Hyōketsu's and Kanpū's minds.

Kanpū waited quietly. After a moment, the power of Ryumyaku in his mind was triggered by Hyōketsu once, twice, three times.

Triggering the power of the Ryumyaku once means 'yes', twice means 'no', and three times means 'don't know'.

Kanpū frowned and shook his head, 'With the loss of the White Zetsu's clones, the intermediary for communication between the two members of the Akatsuki's team, it was not surprising that Hyōketsu didn't know.'

'Perhaps, it was another team dispatched by Nagato to capture Killer B, or maybe, it wasn't Akatsuki at all.'

'If it wasn't Akatsuki, who else in the Shinobi World would be bold enough to capture him?'

'Obito?'

'Well, this guy is also very suspicious.'

'Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.'

Kanpū was very open-minded. After all, the perfect level Byakugan was about to be born. When the time comes for it to fuse into Tenseigan, no one, not even Nagato, could stop him!

'But I need to come up with an excuse in advance, lest I have something good but can't use it.'

'Sneaking around in fancy clothes is too suffocating.'

Kanpū squinted his eyes and started pondering.

'Telling others that I'm a hardworking genius who has fused all five Chakra Attributes to develop the Tenseigan… It feels a bit off.'

'I worked hard to train, and my genes finally mutated, awakening Tenseigan…you mutated your genes, your whole family mutated their genes, change!'

'My Gekko Clan is actually a descendant of the Otsutsuki Clan. Through hard training, I finally experienced cell regression and awakened the Tenseigan… it's insulting to others' intelligence.'

Kanpū thought hard for a while, and suddenly had a brilliant idea: 'Why don't I throw the blame to the Abyss?'

Abyss conducted cell transplantation experiments, I, Gekko Kanpū, bravely and voluntarily became the subject of the experiment. and finally awakened Tenseigan…' Kanpū shook his head, feeling it did not match his character setting.

'Then, let's change it. I went into Abyss's base and they found my identity as a double agent, so they caught me and carried out the inhuman cell transplant experiment. On the edge of death, my desire to survive burst out, allowing me to experience perfect fusion with those magical cells, thus awakening the Tenseigan.'

'With the power of Tenseigan, I fought Abyss's leader for three hundred rounds, and we tied against each other. Then, we made a pact not to interfere with each other!'

'In this way, I can not only cleanse myself, but also use Tenseigan justifiably…'

'Ah, why do my eyes always contain tears? Because my wisdom moves people.'

Kanpū was so excited, that he quickly thought about how to make Abyss discover his double-agent identity justifiably and logically.

One after another, sparks of inspiration collided fiercely in Kanpū's mind, rubbing against each other to produce dazzling sparks!

'Got it!'

'Minato asked me to investigate Killer B's disappearance. For this reason, I used Abyss 'connections'. As a result, Abyss started suspecting me. After some investigation, Abyss finally discovered my identity as a double-agent, so the Abyss lured me out, captured me and put me on the operating table.'

'Once Minato finds out, not only will he not suspect me, but he will also feel guilty to an extreme extent!'

'And the only flaw in this plan is…Flying Thunder God Technique!'

Kanpū, who has mastered Flying Thunder God Technique, can escape instantly by teleporting even if ambushed.

Looking up at the eaves, Kanpū silently questioned the heavens: 'Why am I so powerful? I can't even let myself get caught if I wanted to.'

'Wait!'

'My network cable is mainly arranged on land. If Abyss were to take me to a deserted island overseas, far from the mainland, then I wouldn't be able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.'

Kanpū squinted his eyes, and a bold plan quickly formed in his mind.

That night.

Kanpū to the base under the Land of Iron's frozen soil and collected Toneri's ancestors. Then, he created three shadow clones. One was Ōmadara, who is responsible for investigating Kanpū's double-agent identity in Konoha.

Another is Tenkū, who is responsible for luring Kanpū out of Konoha.

The last one is the Senju clone, who owns Wood Release Kekkei Genkai… 'Uh, what should his name be?'

'Senju Guanyin?'

'Not good, too conspicuous, it's better to keep a low profile.' (T/N: A Bodhisattva in Chinese Mythology, Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands is inspired from her.)

'Then, let's call him Senju Tathagata.' (T/N: It is an epithet of Shakyamuni Buddha and the other celestial buddhas.)

Tathagata went overseas to find a deserted island. The deserted island must be more than two hundred kilometers away from the mainland and be covered by his Wood Release. This way, once Kanpū entered the island, he would be trapped to 'death'!

After giving instructions, the chief director Kanpū teleported back home to sleep.

Two days later, the vacation ended and Kanpū returned to work.

During the period, Minato asked some questions, and Kanpū mentioned that he had already sent shadow clones to contact Abyss and search for Killer B.

Minato cautioned him to be careful.

Kanpū readily agreed.

On the third day.

A guest arrived at Kanpū's home, which is… Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto has been back from the Land of Iron for more than a year, and has been obediently and honestly staying in Yakushi Nono's orphanage, living a very ordinary life.

Well, not really. With a mind full of ideas, he now planned to break free from the orphanage and open a tavern in Konoha, adding some excitement to his ordinary life.

Kanpū couldn't be bothered with this matter, so he directly hired him as the manager of Gekko Tavern, and let him be in charge of one of the taverns. If it could grow and prosper, he could even make him the general manager.

Happily holding the note given by Kanpū, Kabuto elatedly went to find Tabako and took his new position.

On the fifth day, Kanpū received a meeting notice from Tenkū and prepared to meet him.

Before leaving, he made a special trip to the Hokage Tower to report to Minato.

Minato is not worried about Kanpū's safety, but he still reminded him to be careful.

Kanpū agreed with a pat on his massive muscles and left that afternoon.

That night, with dim moonlight and dense fog, visibility was low.

Kotetsu and Izumo, who are watching the night, leaned on both sides of the Konoha's gate, their eyes seemingly closed.

Suddenly, a figure silently approached through the night fog.

"Who?"

Izumo's eyes snapped open, and in the fog, he saw a pair of blood-red pupils staring coldly at him.

At this moment, Izumo suddenly felt unable to move even a muscle of his body.

The same went for Kotetsu beside him.

"It's really weak."

With a sigh, Ōmadara, with his emotional acting, stepped out of the mist with his Sharingan emitting a faint red glow. After knocking out the two immobile gatekeepers, he quickly infiltrated Konoha and headed towards the Anbu's Headquarters.
