Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 868: Stop!!!

The sky gradually brightened.

Sasuke got up listlessly, washed, had breakfast, and then strapped on his ninja bag and set off for the Academy.

On the way, he unconsciously put his hands in his pockets, his expressionless face showed a trace of thinking about life and pride of his clan, and then he pretentiously walked into the classroom.

“Sasuke-kun~”

Karin, who arrived in the classroom very early, immediately rushed over, her hands crossed in front of her, her face blushing shyly as she said, “Please take care of me from now on~”

“Sasuke-kun~” Sakura, who was not assigned to the same team, also rushed over. Her eyes were red, and she looked at him with a face full of grievances.

A sense of irritation welled up in Sasuke's heart, but he still patiently said to Sakura: “Sakura, since we're not in the same team anymore, you need to take care of yourself.”

He glanced sideways at Naruto, who was pretending to look around in the back row, and found that his facial features were twisting.

‘The effect is excellent…’ The gentleness on Sasuke’s face became even more pronounced.

‘Absolutely unbearable!’ x2

Karin and Naruto were so angry that they trembled all over.

“Aahhhh, I finally don’t have to face this awkward situation in the future.” Shikamaru stretched comfortably and yawned.

With his intelligence, he could see through the love-hate relationship between Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Karin, and others at a glance. Their daily interactions in the classroom were like a soap opera that aired continuously for six years!

Around eight o'clock, all the students in the class had arrived.

Then, a Shinobi wearing a green flak jacket walked in and said: “Haruno Sakura, Yaichiro, and Harukamami Hayuki, follow me.”

“Yes!” Sakura reluctantly got up from her seat, took a lingering look at Sasuke's handsome face, and finally walked out of the classroom with reluctance.

Next, the Jonin Instructors arrived one after another and called out the names of students to follow them.

After a while, only Naruto, Sasuke and Karin are left in the classroom.

“Hmph!” Naruto grunted unhappily.

Sasuke knew he was expressing dissatisfaction towards him. If he responded, Naruto would surely escalate.

‘So I'll just pretend I didn't hear…’ Sasuke sat there, keeping his eyes on his own business.

“Hmph!!”

Naruto stomped to the position behind Sasuke and let out a heavy grunt.

Sasuke can’t hear it.

‘Damn it!!’

Naruto leaped onto the desk with a tiger-like jump, leaning his entire head over to Sasuke's right ear, about to thunderously grunted. At that moment, Sasuke heard footsteps outside the classroom and instinctively turned his head, only to find Naruto's face inches away from his own.

‘Huh?!’ x2

Naruto and Sasuke felt the weird touch on their lips, then looked at the close face on the opposite side in confusion.

Time seemed to freeze in that instant.

“Sasuke-kun… Naruto…”

Seeing this scene, Karin's body trembled uncontrollably, “You…what are you doing? Stop, stop!!!”

“Ugh~~”

“Ugh!!”

Naruto and Sasuke, feeling as if they had been electrocuted, quickly separated as they gagged.

“I guess I came at the wrong time…” Tenzo stood outside the door, his almond-shaped eyes under his face mask showing a weird and wretched expression.

“Naruto! You bastard!!! I’m going to kill you!!!” Sasuke’s expression gradually became ferocious as he roared and drew out his kunai.

“I'm the one!!!” Naruto, who had just vomited out his breakfast, refused to back down as he also pulled out his kunai, “How dare you steal my first kiss, I'll never let you off!!”

‘It looks like an accident…’ Tenzo approached solemnly and loudly proclaimed: “Namikaze Naruto, Uzumaki Karin, Uchiha Sasuke, follow me!”

“…Yes .” Naruto and Sasuke reluctantly complied.

…

At the same time.

In the Hokage’s Office, Sandaime, Hiruzen and Yondaime Hokage, Minato are separated by a crystal ball. They looked at each other awkwardly.

“Yondaime, this, uh…” Hiruzen looked embarrassed.

Today, on a whim, he deliberately came early to watch the live broadcast of Naruto's growth with Minato, only to accidentally witness such an awkward scene.

Minato said bitterly: “Sandaime, this is an accident. Naruto and Sasuke… don't have that kind of relationship.”

“Cough cough, I also think so.” Hiruzen nodded repeatedly.

A middle-aged man and an elderly man exchanged glances for a few seconds, inexplicably recalling the scene between Naruto and Sasuke… They immediately turned their heads away in unison, and the atmosphere became increasingly awkward.

“Yondaime, I still have some other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first.” Hiruzen said as he put away the crystal ball.

“I also have a lot of official duties to handle, so I won't accompany you, Sandaime.” Minato forced a smile.

After Hiruzen left, Minato felt that the awkwardness in the office had eased a bit.

‘This whole thing… Minato shook his head wryly.’

…

The Land of Rice Fields.

Otogakure.

In the depths of Orochimaru’s experimental base.

After completing the soft tissue reconstruction of his new body and integrating Steel Release Kekkei Genkai through the Chimera Technique, and after several days of training to achieve a balance between ‘steel' and ‘flexibility', Orochimaru decided to transplant Hashirama’s cells!

That day, he took out all the stored Hashirama’s cells and injected them into his left chest in one go.

In an instant, the immense vitality contained in the Hashirama’s cells surged into Orochimaru's heart like a volcanic eruption.

Thump~ Thump~ Thump~…

At this moment, Orochimaru's heart pounded like a supercar engine, propelling the blood in his body to surge rapidly, like a great river rushing, engulfing the power of the Hashirama’s cells throughout his body, limbs, and bones!

At this moment, Orochimaru felt like his body was a balloon being constantly inflated, but miraculously, Orochimaru didn't feel the slightest tendency to burst.

‘As expected of Uchiha Shin’s body, even the Shodaime Hokage’s cells couldn't make him reject them.’

Boom!

Just as Orochimaru thought about this, his left hand exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere, rotten and miserable.

Orochimaru wasn't surprised by this.

Shin’s had been cut off by him a few years ago and was later stolen by Kanpū. After using Living Corpse Reincarnation to steal Shin’s body, he randomly found a replacement arm to transplant. But now, it seemed that he needed to retrieve that stolen left hand or…

Use cell cloning to cultivate a new ‘Shin'’s left hand.

Orochimaru’s thoughts continued to race, while his body continued to absorb the power of Hashirama’s cells. Gradually, a blurry face protruded from his left chest.

And then… it ended.

‘That’s it?’

Orochimaru frowned slightly, ‘Isn’t this too fast?’

Feeling somewhat dissatisfied, Orochimaru reached out to touch the vague face on his chest. He guessed that the owner of this face was Senju Hashirama, the Shodaime Hokage, but at this moment, the features of this face were extremely blurry, and he couldn't even distinguish Hashirama’s appearance.

‘Not enough!’

‘I need more, more, and more First-Kage cells!’

‘It seems that I have to make a trip to Konoha!’

Orochimaru lifted his head, and his golden vertical pupils had turned into the scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan!
