Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 816: Kotoamatsukami - Sanbi

Closing the Mangekyo, the giant demon, which was one hundred meters tall, dissipated quickly in the air, and Shisui slowly descends under the escort of a dozen crows.

Kanpū’s group of four looked at Shisui’s eyes, and found that apart from a little bloodshot, there was no sign of bleeding or other hideous symptoms. Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Minato smiled and asked: “Shisui, how do you feel?”

“I feel great! Thank you, Hokage-sama.” Shisui immediately knelt down on one knee to express his loyalty.

At this time, he felt uplifted and inexplicably excited, feeling as if he was seeing a withered tree sprouting new shoots, or an old cow eating tender grass.

‘You should thank me, it was me who got you that arm…’ Kan-uncomfortable-pū quietly pouted his lips on the side.

After getting up, Shisui happily said: “Hokage-sama, I just found out that the cooldown time for the Dojutsu on my left eye has ended.”

Minato was taken aback, then remembered Shisui’s left eye Kotoamatsukami was used on Obito on the day of Kushina's childbirth, which is exactly ten years ago.

And Shisui had said before that the cooldown for Kotoamatsukami is ten years.

Shisui seemed to see his doubts and explained slightly excitedly: “Hokage-sama, it may be because of the power of the Shodaime-sama, I can clearly feel that Kotoamatsukami’s cooling time has been greatly reduced, at least halved! “

Hearing this, Kanpū’s expression became serious: ‘It seems that I need to develop the habit of keeping a diary in the future. Well, I will check it every five years to see if my past self and present self are the same.’

“Five years…”

Minato is overjoyed. With Kotoamatsukami’s cooldown time halved, he can ‘Konohaize’ all the nine Biju in at most 25 years.

“Kotoamatsukami…” Hiruzen frowned slightly. As an old and cautious man, he felt that a Genjutsu like Kotoamatsukami, which can change others’ will silently, should not exist in the Shinobi World.

Unfortunately, Minato has the final say in the village now, and his opinion didn't matter much anymore.

‘I have completely become a tool…’ Hiruzen sighed silently and took a puff of his pipe.

“Shisui, from now on, Tenzo will be responsible for training your Wood Release in the future, Kanpū, you can arrange the schedule.”

Minato said seriously, “As for Kotoamatsukami, Shisui, unless you face life and death desperate situation, you are not forbidden from using it on anyone without my orders!”

“Yes!” Shisui immediately responded loudly. He had anticipated this and naturally would not hesitate.

“Then, let’s go back to the Anbu’s Headquarters now.” Minato smiled faintly.

‘Is he going to use it on the Jinchuriki?’

Kanpū’s eyes lit up.

The group of five hurried back to the Anbu’s Headquarters and went straight to the deepest part of the underground prison.

At this moment, two people were imprisoned in the prison. One is Sanbi’s Jinchuriki, Chosaburo from Kirigakure’s Anbu, and the other is Yonbi’s Jinchuriki, Iwagakure’s Missing-nin, Roshi.

As soon as he approached the prison, Kanpū smelled an indescribable odor.

‘It stinks.’

‘Does Jinchuriki not even bother to flush the toilet?’

Kanpū complained, but then immediately remembered that in order to prevent Orochimaru from entering through the sewers, the Anbu had cemented all the toilets on this floor… It seemed that he was the one who come up with that idea.

Kanpū then took a deep breath: ‘It’s really fragrant.’

“Finally, you've come!!”

Hearing the chaotic footsteps, Sanbi’s Jinchuriki rushed to the iron cell, banging on the iron bars angrily, “Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato! You have the guts to lock me up, but not the guts to come see me!”

Minato glanced at him and didn’t say anything.

“Why aren't you talking! Why did you lock me up? If you want to kill me, just do it! If I make a sound, then I am not Kirigakure’s Anbu!”

Chosaburo continued to roar angrily. He didn’t forget to name the cellmate opposite him, “Roshi, say something!!”

Roshi sat cross-legged on the futon in the prison, meditating with his eyes closed, looking completely indifferent to the world’s affairs.

“Damn it, why don’t you talk!” Chosaburo continued to shout, “I…”

“You’re so noisy.” Kanpū glanced at him, and his killing intent instantly condensed into a mountain-like pressure, forcing Chosaburo to step back repeatedly, even swallowing the words he was about to say.

“Yondaime, who do you plan to choose?” Hiruzen asked.

The cooldown for Shisui’s left-eye Kotoamatsukami had ended, but it would still take about three years for the cooldown for his right eye Kotoamatsukami, so only one of the two Jinchuriki could be chosen for use by Konoha.

Minato had a plan for a long time, so he said with a smile: “Choose Chosaburo!”

“What?”

Hiruzen’s expression sank,” Yondaime, I think it’s better to choose Roshi.”

“What’s the reason, Sandaime?” Minato asked.

“Roshi is Iwagakure’s Missing-nin, and in the end, he has severed ties with Iwagakure. If we use him, it won't cause any disputes. But Chosaburo is different. He hasn't defected, and he's still a Kirigakure’s Anbu. Once he's discovered, it will be a lot of trouble.”

There is another reason that Hiruzen didn't mention, which was that in the Joint Chunin Exams last year, Kirigakure also sent people to participate. From the perspective of outsiders, Konoha and Kirigakure are in an alliance. If a scandal breaks out, it would have a big impact on Konoha.

Minato pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: “Sandaime, Roshi’s appearance is too… distinctive. Once he appears in front of people, he will be recognized immediately. Yes, he is indeed a Missing-nin, but the Sandaime Tsuchikage has a hot temper and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. If we let him know that Roshi is in our village, he will definitely use various means to force us to hand over Roshi. Secondly, in recent years, Iwagakure's military strength has been rising steadily, and there are faint signs of reaching Kumogakure’s level. If we disrupt the balance, it is highly likely to trigger a war! Chosaburo is different. He looks ordinary, and no one can recognize him in a crowd. If I have someone give him a little makeover and erase his memories, Kirigakure will never find out about him!”

Furthermore, even if Chosaburo was unfortunately exposed, Kirigakure would not dare to declare war on Konoha!

Because Kirigakure, which had experienced the Blood Mist Policy, had greatly weakened in strength and had not recovered yet.

Furthermore, after the death of Yondaime Mizukage, the power of Kirigakure fell into the hands of Elder Genji. Although Elder Genji held the power, he was reserved in character, old and infirm, and lacked energy, making it inconvenient for him to act. So even if he knew that Sanbi is in Konoha, he would not dare to declare war rashly. At most, he would call out for Five Kages Summit, and then everyone would go to the Land of Iron to argue. Minato wasn't afraid of such thing at all.

“This…” Hiruzen pondered for a moment, feeling that Minato’s words make sense. He sighed silently and quietly stepped aside.

Kanpū also retracted his killing-intent at the right time. Chosaburo immediately gasped for breath and looked at Kanpū with fear: ‘Back then, it was this bastard who brought me from Kirigakure to Konoha. Damn it!’

At this moment, Eagle opened the iron gate of Chosaburo’s prison.

“You, what are you going to do to me?” Chosaburo’s face changed.

“You'll find out soon.” Eagle stepped aside slightly, revealing Shisui behind him.

“Shisui of the Body Flicker?!” Chosaburo’s face greatly changed upon seeing Shisui.

As Kirigakure’s Anbu, how could he have never heard of the great name of Shisui of the Body Flicker?

‘He must be trying to use Genjutsu to confuse me, and then get information about the village from my mouth. No, I can’t let him succeed!

Chosaburo had also undergone rigorous training to become a member of the Anbu. At this time, with no way out, he had nothing left to say and immediately closed his eyes, taking out a small iron piece to commit suicide.

But his movements were still a step too slow.

Shisui’s figure flickered and instantly appeared in front of him, and at the same time, he slapped away the small iron piece in his hand.

Chosaburo remained calm in the face of danger, tightly closed his eyes, and clenched his teeth: ‘As long as I don’t open my eyes, your Genjutsu can’t get me!’

But unfortunately, Shisui’s target was not him.

‘Roar…’

With the almost imperceptible roar, Chosaburo suddenly felt his spirit being dragged into a strange space. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the seal world in his abdomen.

At the center of the seal world was a huge turtle covered with sharp thorns, which was precisely Sanbi, Isobu.

And Shisui is standing in front of Sanbi.

“Sharingan… Roar!! Who are you!!!” Isobu bared his teeth at Shisui, roaring again and again. Its huge turtle hooves restlessly pounding the ground, causing a deafening noise.

“That’s…” Chosaburo subconsciously looked at Shisui’s eyes, and his pupils couldn't help but shrank, “Shouldn’t Shisui of the Body Flicker have 3-Tomoe Sharingan? What is that pattern?!”

When he was surprised, Sanbi’s roar gradually dissipated, and his single eye had been covered by a pinwheel-shaped pattern at some point, slowly spinning.

Kotoamatsukami!
