Chapter 516 Nightmare-Rank Mission

Back at the mansion.

After a simple wash, Kanpū lay on the tatami thinking about his own plans for going out of the village this time.

'First, since I told Minato that I was going to travel around the Shinobi World, I had to make a shadow clone to pretend.'

'Second, the matter of entering Akatsuki.'

'At first, I intend to replace Hyōketsu, but after thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid it won't work. After all, Hyōketsu teamed up with Zetsu, and the two have been together for many years!'

'The risk is too great!'

'Taki is different. It hasn't been long since he joined the Akatsuki, and the risk of being discovered after replacing him is relatively low.'

'The third is the cooperation with Orochimaru

'Orochimaru is wary person, and if I try to cooperate with him, I will be rejected or even suspected.'

After pondering for a while, Kanpū's eyes suddenly lit up, 'Taki is a member of Branch House, he has the Caged Bird!'

'And the Caged Bird is also a kind of Fuinjutsu to a certain extent. If Taki wants to remove the Caged Bird, he naturally needs to understand Fuinjutsu in depth, and the best Fuinjutsu user in the Shinobi World is Uzumaki Clan.'

'With this reason, Taki can have a just and honorable reason to go to Orochimaru!'

'The fourth thing is the clan's affairs.'

'It is really unreasonable to abandon the clansmen after just becoming the Clan Head, but since I have promoted Tabako as the Deputy Clan Head, and there are also eight Elders including Tou-san, there should be no accidents in the clan.'

'Fifth…'

Kanpū fell asleep as he thought about it.

The next morning.

Kanpū wakes up early and after washing his body, he saw Keiko has already cooked, which are miso soup and seaweed onigiri.

When Kanpū was halfway through the meal, Hoshino and Hayate came one after another. After the whole family had finished eating, Kanpū coughed and said: "Tou-san, Kaa-san, Hayate, I'm leaving the village today to travel the Shinobi World is over. I'll leave the clan's matters to you."

"Traveling the Shinobi World?"

Keiko is not happy when she heard this, "You haven't been home for half a year, why are you going out again?"

Kanpū immediately used the strongest shield he had gotten: "I don't want to either, but this is Hokage-sama's order. I have an important mission that needs me to go out this time!"

"Another mission…" Keiko was a little dissatisfied.

"Since it is Hokage-sama's order, there is nothing we can do about it."

Hoshino patted Keiko's shoulder, then turned to Kanpū and said, "Be safe outside. There are Deputy Clan Head and Elders like us here, so you don't have to worry."

Kanpū nodded, secretly proud of his wisdom.

"Brother, bring me some gifts when you come back." Hayate said with a smile.

Kanpū couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said, "You must train hard when I'm not around!"

"Understood!" Hayate responded.

After bidding farewell to his family, Kanpū returned to his bedroom, and then create a shadow clone, letting the shadow clone leave through the Konoha's Gate openly.

After that, Kanpū sealed all his belongings, including the Kusanagi Sword, into a scroll and hid them under the tatami mat, and then, he changed into a newly bought unworn clothes.

'It's time to leave.'

Kanpū squinted his eyes and formed hand seals: Henge no Jutsu! (Transformation Technique)

Bang!

A puff of smoke slowly dissipated, but there was no Kanpū's figure in the bedroom anymore.

At the small hillside ten kilometers outside Konoha, there is a dense forest, and a few hundred meters to the south is the place where Kushina gave birth.

However, in the past few years, this small hillside has long been deserted.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the depths of the dense forest, it was Kan… no, it was Hyuga Taki.

Taki activated his Byakugan, and hideous blue veins protruded from the corners of his eyes. He looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around with his perspective ability, he quickly disappeared.

...

Hokage Tower.

Small conference room.

Led by a Shinobi wearing a crow mask, Fugaku walked in calmly: "Hokage-sama, you are looking for me?"

Minato sat on the sofa in the conference room, and when he saw the visitor, he nodded with a smile said: "Clan Head Fugaku, please sit down."

The Anbu wearing the crow mask was about to leave, but Minato said again, "Shisui, you stay too. This matter has something to do with you."

Fugaku has long recognized that this Anbu is Shisui, so he is not surprised, and then sat directly opposite Minato.

After Shisui was stunned for a while, he closed the door of the conference room, then walked to the sofa and stood there.

Minato did not start speaking, but formed hand seals, and used Fuinjutsu to cover the small conference room to prevent the sound from coming out.

When Fugaku saw it, a serious expression appeared on his face: 'Something serious happened.'

After completing the seal, Minato said: "Clan Head Fugaku, Shisui, what I want to say next is very important. Whether you agree or refuse, I hope you don't leak it out!"

"I understand, Hokage-sama, please speak." Fugaku said.

"Hokage-sama, I will also keep it secret." Shisui also promised.

Minato nodded. He organized his words, and felt that it would be better to get straight to the point, so he said directly: "I hope Shisui can defect from Konoha and become an S-Rank Missing-nin."

"What?" Shisui was taken aback, and his whole body didn't feel good.

'Asking me to defect?!'

"Why?"

Fugaku tensed up. He looked at Minato in shock, anger and disbelief, and asked, "Why should Shisui be a Missing-nin?"

Minato raised his hand to signal them to be calm, and continued: "According to reliable information, a dangerous organization composed of S-Rank Missing-nin has appeared in the Shinobi World. The known members are Orochimaru, Kakuzu, Sasori of the Red Sand, and the dead Biwa Juzo, and besides these people, the probability of other dangerous members is not ruled out."

Hearing this, Fugaku's pupils shrank: 'An organization composed of S-Rank Missing-nin?'

'Orochimaru, the legendary Sannin who defected from the village?'

'Kakuzu, the dangerous killer who once assassinated Shodaime Hokage?'

'Sasori of the Red Sand, Sunagakure's Genius Puppet Master.'

'Biwa Juzo, the former Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, is also a member!'

'Well, he already died.'

'But…'

"Hokage-sama, are you sure?"

Fugaku asked solemnly, "These people are not simple figures. Not to mention others, just Orochimaru has the terrifying power to destroy a small country alone! How could they get together?"

Minato said: "We have already discussed this point, and there are two possibilities. One, they have a common goal, two, the leader of this organization has the terrifying power to suppress all these S-Rank Missing-nin!"

Fugaku was extremely shocked upon hearing this. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then asked: "So you want Shisui to join this organization as a Missing-nin?"

Minato nodded solemnly: "Yes, considering the danger of this organization, Shisui is the most suitable candidate."

Shisui's Body Flicker Technique and Genjutsu are extremely convenient whether it is against the enemy or running away, especially he also has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!

But Minato also has concerns. Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan is indeed powerful, but if his pupil power runs out, he will face permanent blindness, so he has to seek Fugaku and Shisui's opinions.

Shisui is also thinking at this time, 'The degree of danger of this mission is definitely a Nightmare-Rank. Moreover, the first step to become a Konoha's Missing-nin is to betray everyone I know!'

'After that, I would join the mysterious and dangerous Missing-nin organization and mixed among a bunch of S-Rank Missing-nin. If I showed any flaw, I will definitely be besieged!'

'And there's also Orochimaru. He has suffered in my hands several times, will he let me 'act wilfully'?'

Although Shisui has confidence in his Mangekyo, his pupil power has been consumed depleted over the years. If he accepts this mission, even if he can successfully complete the mission and come back alive, there is a 80% chance that he will be blind!

And if he was accidentally exposed, he might die directly!

"I don't agree!"

Fugaku refused, "This mission is too dangerous, I can't let Shisui take a risk! I hope Hokage-sama can understand."

Minato sighed slightly. He did not persuade him, but nodded and just said: "I understand how you feel, and since you don't want to, I won't force it. But Clan Head Fugaku, the information about this meeting must be kept secret!"

Fugaku was relieved, then got up and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your understanding, Hokage-sama."

After Fugaku left, Minato asked Shisui to continue his Anbu in work, but Shisui was listless all day long.

As the Captain of the Anbu's sixth team, Kakashi naturally wanted to care about his teammates. Therefore, after work that day, he accompanied Shisui home and asked on the way: "Shisui, why are you absent-minded today? What happened?"

Shisui showed an ugly smile, and replied: "It's nothing, I just feel a little unwell."

"Feeling unwell…?"

Kakashi narrowed his right eye, and asked again, "From what I heard from Commander Eagle, that guy Kanpū ran out of the village again. This time, he didn't even make a shadow clone to stay here. Do you know what he is doing?"

Shisui shook his head absent-mindedly.

Kakashi frowned when he saw this, 'Shisui has a very good relationship with Kanpū, and now that Kanpū suddenly leaves the village without a sound, is that why Shisui became like this?'

It's just that before he could ask in detail, a Green Beast of Prey suddenly dropped from the sky.

"Yo, Kakashi, I finally found you! Let's have a bloody duel today too!!" Guy stopped the two of them with fighting spirit.

Kakashi frowned and said: "Guy, I am not in the mood to accompany you now, maybe next time."

"You always say you are not in the mood every time, haah, Kakashi, since you joined Anbu, you've became more and more cold." Guy complained dissatisfiedly.

Kakashi was very irritated at this moment. First, Kanpū's left the village inexplicably, and then, Shisui looked like he was dying. And now, Guy came to pester him again, making Kakashi's head hurt.

"Captain Kakashi, since Guy-senpai is here, I'll go first." Shisui forced a smile, and then disappeared quickly with a flicker.

"Yosh! No one will spoil our duel now!"

Guy burst into flames instantly, "Come on, Kakashi!!!"

Kakashi covered his face and ignored him, then turned around and left.

Guy refused to give up, and chased after him.

Kakashi looked up at the setting sun, and the sunset glow stretched the figures of him and Guy. He then sighed secretly: 'Is this my Youth?'

'God, please spare me from it!!!'

When Shisui arrived home, he found Fugaku was waiting at the door.

"Fugaku-sama." Shisui hurriedly opened the door and invited him in.

"Shisui, I couldn't say much with Yondaime there before, but you have to remember that you will be blind because of the Mangekyo!"

Fugaku did not enter the house, but left this sentence softly, and then turned around and said, "Itachi is back from his mission, he will come to you after dinner."

"I understand." Shisui answered with his head lowered.
