Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 653: The Scroll Sent By Shisui?

When the night fell, Mei and the blocked Ao stood at the bow and aft of the ship, looking around vigilantly.

As for Kanpū, he has turned into the bald captain again, and sits in the captain’s room lazily.

Time is passed slowly, and in the middle of the night, the non-existent Yuki Clan’s member will naturally not appear. Mei and Ao, who had been waiting in the middle of the night for nothing, meet at the bow of the ship. Under the bright moonlight, the ship has already reached entrance to the sea!

“Mei, it seems that Yuki Clan’s member has given up on boarding this ship.”

Ao said wearily, “We should leave too.”

Mei nodded, then subconsciously looked back towards the captain’s room.

Ao looked at this scene with a calm face. After his ‘discussion’ with the female passenger, he has already entered the Sage Mode at this time, and he really can’t raise other small thoughts.

Kanpū stood in front of the glass window of the captain’s room, and looked down at deck and gazed Mei, who is also looking at him. The two looked at each other for a long time, but Mei didn't go up to say goodbye in the end.

Her figure flickered, then Mei turned into an afterimage and jumped off the ship.

Soon, the two disappeared into the night.

In the captain’s room, Kanpū sighed silently.

‘I really want to abduct Mei home, but unfortunately, I am a Shinobi, and Shinobi has no feelings.’

Whoosh whoosh!!

With the sound of surging waves, the tall ship finally enters the sea!

Kanpū walked to a corner of the captain's room and looked at the chart above. The chart shows the route of the voyage. The starting point is the Land of Water and the end point is the Land of Lightning.

Along the way, they will stop at two islands for supplies, but the location of these two islands is a bit far from the Land of Fire. Considering that it is easy to get lost at sea, Kanpū finally decided to disembark at the Land of Lightning.

……

The next day.

Land of Fire.

Konoha.

In Hokage’s Office, Minato is holding a scroll, looking at it solemnly.

After a while, he looked up towards Genma in front of his desk. His blue pupils are full of solemnity, and he asked: “Genma, who sent the scroll?”

Genma rarely sees Minato showing such expression, not even when Shisui defected last time!

‘Is there any important information recorded in the scroll?’

“Hokage-sama, when I came here, I only saw the scroll is placed in front of the office, and I didn't see who sent it.”

If it wasn't for the fact that the Yondaime Hokage’s words not written on the front of the scroll, Genma would definitely open the scroll and have a look.

“Send someone to investigate it!”

Minato ordered immediately, but soon after frowned, and suddenly shook his head, “No, there is no need to investigate!”

“Hokage-sama?” Genma is a little confused.

“That's it, the matter of this scroll will be kept confidental, and it is forbidden to mention it to anyone!” Minato solemnly said.

“Yes!”

When Genma left, Minato opened the scroll again and read it again.

There are indeed some important information recorded on the scroll, important information about the members of the Akatsuki!

Akatsuki leader: Nagato, Konan.

True identity: The disciples of one of the Konoha’s Sannin, Jiraiya.

Akatsuki member:

Kusagakure’s Missing-nin, Zetsu.

Kirigakure’s Missing-nin, Yuki Hyōketsu.

Sunagakure’s Missing-nin, Sasori of the Red Sand.

Konoha’s Missing-nin, Orochimaru.

Takigakure’s Missing-nin, Kakuzu.

Someone faking death in Konoha, Hyuga Taki.

Konoha’s Missing-nin, Uchiha Shisui.

Kirigakure’s Missing-nin, Hoshigaki Kisame.

In the back, there are some basic information of these official members.

Minato looked at the information on the scroll, and my thoughts spun rapidly.

‘If there’s no accident, this scroll should be sent by Shisui. ‘

‘It’s really surprising, Jiraiya-sensei, the disciple you accepted in the Land of Rain turned out to be the leader of the Missing-nin’s organization. ‘

‘Unfortunately, there is no information about Nagato and Konan on the scroll.’

‘However… Akatsuki has already developed so much that they have so many members.’

‘Hyuga Taki…the Shinobi from Hyuga Clan’s Branch House fakes his death and joined Akatsuki.’

‘Yuki Hyōketsu, he should be Yuki Ao. The member of the Abyss is also the member of Akatsuki, does that mean the two organizations have already started cooperating?’

Minato has a headache upon learning this. Although the information on the scroll is very important, the scroll only tell Minato about the members of Akatsuki. As for the more important information, such as where is Akatsuki’s headquarters and Akatsuki’s contact information, Akatsuki’s rules of action, etc. are not mentioned at all!

It’s like a cherished action movie from an island country. When the movie is played, it only introduces the face and figure of the beautiful actress, and then… there is no more!

How can they tease people like that?

Minato read the scroll over and over again. After he memorized all the contents above, he uses Rasengan and completely destroyed the scroll!

Because he knows that once the contents of scroll are leaked, Shisui’s undercover identity will be exposed immediately!

So just in case, the evidence must be destroyed!

“Genma!”

After destroying the scroll, Minato called Genma and asked him to call Kakashi.

About twenty minutes later, wearing a red fox mask, Kakashi, with slightly rippling silver hair, appeared in the office.

“Hokage-sama, you are looking for me?” Kakashi said.

When there is business, Kakashi usually calls Minato ‘Hokage-sama’, while privately, he calls him ‘Minato-sensei’.

Minato nodded, then tore off a piece of white paper, wrote two lines, handed it to Kakashi, and ordered: “Go and check the whereabouts of these people and other relevant information.”

“Yes.”

Kakashi took the note and took a look at the content: ‘Kusagakure’s Missing-nin, Zetsu, Kirigakure’s Missing-nin, Hoshigaki Kisame.’

There are ten members of the Akatsuki organization recorded on the scroll. Two of the leaders are Jiraiya’s disciple, and they are Minato’s senior brother and sister, so Minato intends to ask Jiraiya directly for their information.

As for the others, Shisui is an undercover agent and cannot be investigated.

Hyuga Taki is someone from Hyuga Clan. Since it is about Hyuga Clan, they must be careful.

Yuki Hyōketsu Hanbing is not only a member of Akatsuki, but also a member of Abyss. His skills are absolutely powerful, and it may be difficult to find out about his information.

As for Sasori, Orochimaru, and Kakuzu, Minato already knows about the identity of the three people for a long time, and the investigation of them has been going on for a while, so there is no need to specifically tell Kakashi.

So in the end, there are only Zetsu and Kisame left.

Kakashi looked at the two names in confusion, and asked: “Hokage-sama, what is this?”

“Go.” Minato didn’t tell Kakashi more.

“Yes!” Kakashi is now a mature Anbu. Seeing that Minato didn’t want to say anything more, he bowed and left immediately.

“Wait a minute!”

Minato suddenly remembered something, stopped him, and asked, “Is Kanpū back yet?”

Kakashi shook his head: “Not yet.”

Minato frowned slightly when he heard this. About half a month ago, Kanpū’s shadow clone suddenly disappeared. At that time, both Minato and Kakashi thought that Kanpū had returned, but after searching, they found that there was no such thing at all.

Minato is naturally worried that Kanpū had an accident.

Even if Kanpū masters the Space-Time Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the end, Minato’s other disciple, Uchiha Obito, also has Space-Time Dojutsu, which is even better than Flying Thunder God Technique!

“While searching for Zetsu and Hoshigaki Kisame’s information, I want you to pay attention about Kanpū’s information and try to find where he went.” Minato said.

“Understood.”

Kakashi nodded.
