Chapter 399 The Blame King Carries The Blame Again

Hyōketsu has been lurking outside the adviser's house in Amegakure for more than four months. It seemed to be hard work, but in fact, he was just squatting in the corner and waiting for the arrival of Hanzo or Six Paths of Pain. There is neither fighting nor rushing, so after more than four months of tiredness accumulated, Kanpū recovered after only three days of sleep.

Opening his eyes again, besides feeling a little dizzy, and the only feeling Kanpū felt is hunger.

After changing his clothes, Kanpū immediately rushed into the kitchen with a Flying Thunder God Technique, and then stuffed seaweed rice balls, fish balls, sushi, and warm porridge into his mouth. After eating for five minutes, he walked out with a full belch.

"Mother should have cooked the porridge, then where is she?"

Kanpū called twice but didn't receive any responds, so he went to the bathroom to wash and brush his teeth, and then went to find Keiko.

Keiko spent the past few days resting at home to take care of Kanpū, and at this moment, she is cleaning.

'It's too horrible!'

Keiko gritted her teeth while scrubbing the wooden corridor. Since she moved to the mansion, not to mention anything else, just cleaning the floor has skyrocketed from tens of square meters to dozens of times more!

Wiping all the wooden corridors of this mansion can break her waist!

At this moment, Keiko has decided to use her husband's pension to hire a helper, otherwise, she really won't be able to live in this mansion!

"Kaa-san?"

Kanpū walked along the brand-new shiny wooden corridor, and found Keiko, who turned around, "What are you doing?"

"Kanpū, you finally woke up."

Keiko quickly got up from the ground when she heard the voice, but her waist was sore that she almost couldn't stand firmly.

Kanpū quickly supported her, and asked in doubt: "Kaa-san, why don't we hire a helper?"

Keiko snorted and said: "What do you mean helper? There's no need to hire a helper!"

Just now, she planned to use her husband's pension to hire a helper, but now she felt her face swell up, so she pretended in front of his son, "This house is not big, I can clean it myself."

Kanpū was speechless, thought for a while and said: "Kaa-san, it's okay if we don't hire a helper. From now on, I will go to the mission hall to post a D-Rank Mission every week, and spend a thousand to hire three Genins to clean up the house."

Hearing this, Keiko's eyes lit up, and she said: "That's a good idea!"

But at the next moment, her brows wrinkled and she said, "Kanpū, I remember that the minimum salary for D-Rank Mission is five hundred, right?"

When he heard this, listened, the corners of Kanpū's mouth couldn't help but twitched, and thought that he is really too generous to spend one thousand ryo to hire three Genin to clean up!!

'Too extravagant!'

"Kaa-san, you are right! Five hundred, just five hundred, there is no need for more!" Kanpū hurriedly corrected himself.

Only then did Keiko show a satisfied smile.

"Then, I will go to Hokage Tower now."

Kanpū left after he finished speaking, and then rushed towards Hokage Tower while thinking about the development of the plot after this incident.

'Minato and Kushina survived this disaster smoothly because of my intervention, but this did not affect the establishment and growth of Akatsuki. As for Obito, this guy obviously hit by Kotoamatsukami, but he can still fight me for a long time, he really can't be underestimated!'

Kanpū found that after saving Minato and Kushina, he couldn't slack off, and he has to keep working hard!

'For example, first collect the Ninjutsu Scroll and those guys in the scrolls, and then collect Byakugan and Sharingan.'

'In order to maximize the power of Byakugan, I also have to collect Gentle Fist and Revolving Heaven.'

'And in order to maximize the use of Sharingan, more Genjutsu should be collected.'

'That's right, there is also Flying Thunder God Technique. Only with Minato's neural reflex can Flying Thunder God Technique be brought to the limit.'

'That's right, I have to collect some Fuinjutsu to be more skilled, otherwise, I can only be anxious at critical moment like before.'

'That's right, Sage Mode also has to be collected.'

'That's right, I also have to collect the nine great Biju!'

Thinking about it this way, Kanpū realizes that he really has a long way to go!

...

Hokage's Office.

Minato sat at the desk, listening to the Anbu Commander's report with a serious expression.

"According to the investigation for the past three days, we did not find any Shinobi in the Uchiha Clan who lost their arms or have newly transplanted arms."

Eagle said solemnly, "Yesterday, Uchiha Clan's Clan Head, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Mikoto have also returned. After testing, it was found that their arms were also intact, and there was no sign of transplantation."

Minato asked ponderingly: "Is it possible that some kind of Medical Ninjutsu or other Forbidden Technique can be used to make the transplanted hands recover in a short period of time?"

Eagle shook his head: "The medical department of the Anbu made it clear that there is no such medical technology in Shinobi World yet! However, as for Forbidden Technique, there is indeed a technique that can achieve the level you said."

"What is it?" Minato asked.

"Orochimaru's Body Replacement Technique."

Eagle said, "His Body Replacement Technique can shed the injured body in an instant, and spit out a new intact body from the mouth, but the new body will be weak for a period of time. However, from the monitoring point of view, neither Uchiha Fugaku nor Uchiha Mikoto have a period of weakness."

Minato nodded slightly: "In other words, all the Shinobi of the Uchiha Clan have been excluded, right?"

Eagle nodded: "Although it is unbelievable, according to the information we have so far, the mysterious masked man who appeared that night is indeed not Uchiha Clan's Shinobi."

Minato's heart sank at this moment: 'It seems that it is really the mysterious Shinobi under the Land of Grass.'

'It's just that a Shinobi who owns Mangekyo Sharingan, but not a Shinobi from Uchiha Clan…'

'Is it Uchiha Madara?!'

'Impossible, he has been killed by Shodaime-sama!'

'Even if Uchiha Madara used tricks to escape from Shodaime-sama's eyes, it was already more than 40 years ago, and he could not have survived until now!'

Minato pondered for a while, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

'Wait!'

'Orochimaru?'

'Body Replacement Technique?'

'Shedding the damaged body in an instant, spitting out a new intact body from the mouth …'

'The period of weakness…'

'Body Revival Technique!!'

Minato's Minato's eyes narrowed.

'So that's how it is!'

'No wonder that Orochimaru is willing to use Kusanagi Sword and nearly a thousand Five-Attributes Ninjutsu in exchange for the Body Revival Technique in Kanpū's hands. Orochimaru is not crazy. He wants to use the Body Revival Technique to reduce or even directly eliminate the period of weakness after using his Body Replacement Technique, and if he really does…'

Minato silently wrote down the matter with a solemn expression.

"Hokage-sama, there is one more strange thing."

Eagle added, "Three days ago, Gekko Kanpū once brought Jinchuriki to the village, during which, the Jinchuriki's body was overflowed with a lot of Kyubi's Chakra, but afterwards, Anbu didn't find these Kyubi's Chakra."

Minato came back to his sense, and hesitantly said: "Someone collected these spilled Kyubi's Chakra before the Anbu?"

"Yes, it is initially suspected to be Hyuga Clan's Clan Head." Eagle said.

'Hyuga Hiashi?'

Minato's head hurts. It is finally proved that Uchiha Clan's Clan Head didn't dislike him, but now, the Hyuga Clan's Clan Head is also involved.

"Hokage-sama, do I need to send Anbu to monitor him?" Eagle asked softly.

Minato shook his head and said: "No need."

'Monitoring Uchiha Fugaku is already taking great risks, but now, monitoring Hyuga Hiashi?'

'They will definitely be discovered immediately!'

'Byakugan is not just decoration.'

'Moreover, there should be only a small amount of Kyubi's Chakra leaked. So even if they are collected by Hiashi, he cannot do anything with these Kyubi's Chakra.'

"Has there been any progress in the research on the two severed arms?" Minato changed the subject.

"Yes!"

Eagle said, "The Anbu's medical department found two genes on the severed arm. We suspect that the masked man may have been injected with some kind of powerful gene."

"Two genes?"

Minato asked, "Can you find a matching gene?"

"The Anbu is looking for it, but for the time being, there's still no results." Eagle said.

Minato sighed when he heard this. He felt that he had grasped a lot of clues, but as soon as these clues were checked, all of them were broken, and he couldn't follow the clues to find out the true identity of the masked man.

Minato closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then he opened his eyes, and solemnly asked the last question: "As for the information of the Jinchuriki's delivery location being leaked, did you find anything?"

Apart from Sandaime and the two high-level advisors, the only ones who knew Kushina's delivery location is Anbu, as well as his direct bodyguard, Kanpū and Shisui.

'But Kanpū and Shisui can be eliminated directly, after all, without them, Kushina cannot escape death.'

'As for the remaining people…'

Eagle said solemnly: "After investigation, no one from the Anbu leaked the secrets, nor did your direct bodyguard."

Minato's eyes narrowed slightly, 'In other words, the leak comes from above?'

'It's impossible for Sandaime, as he has no reason to do so, besides, Sandaime's wife also died in this disaster!'

'The two high-level advisors are Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, but they have no reason to do this!'

'Is it...'

'Shimura Danzo?'

'With Danzo's relationship with Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get this information.'

'So does Danzo have a motive?'

Minato didn't even need to think about it, 'Absolutely!'

It must be known that Minato first cut the Root's funding, and then shut down the many small gambling halls where Danzo was collecting money. With the new hatred piled with the olds, Danzo is full of motives!

Minato's eyes became slightly cold, and he said: "I want to know the contact information of Advisor Koharu, Homura and Danzo three days ago. The more detailed it is, the better."

Eagle's heart shuddered: 'Did Hokage-sama suspect Advisor Danzo directly?'

"Understood!"

Eagle nodded in response, and then disappeared.

At this time, the door of the office just opened, and Genma walked in: "Hokage-sama, Kanpū is here."

Minato's eyes lit up, and he quickly let him in.

"Hokage-sama." After Kanpū came in, he bowed very humbly.

Minato smiled and said: "Are you okay?"

Kanpū nodded with a smile: "It's just overdrawing energy. I'm all better now."

Minato nodded: "Kanpū, it's really thanks to you this time. Without you, I really can't imagine the terrible consequences of losing Kushina."

Kanpū smiled subtly, and then asked: "Hokage-sama, have you investigated what happened that night?"

Minato sighed regretfully, and said: "The masked man is not a Shinobi from the Uchiha Clan. Although you severed his arms, the clues are too little, so we still can't confirm his specific identity."

A thought flashed through Kanpū's mind, 'Since I have rescued Minato and Kushina, why don't I push the boat forward and push one of the boss behind the scenes to the front?'

Kanpū coughed dryly, and said: "Hokage-sama, I actually thought of someone who was probably the masked man that night!"

Minato showed solemn expression and asked: "Who?"

Kanpū breathes deeply, and said word by word: "Uchiha… Obito!"

Minato's eyes widened, and his whole body was not well.
