Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 872: I Will Make Him Wish He Were Dead!!

“Gekko Hayate, you are courting death!!”

Seeing the duck in his hand fly away, Shinno is furious. With a fierce expression, he unleashed a series of Bone-Crushing Fists.

The air was filled with visible shockwaves as he unleashed devastating impacts, destroying everything around him.

Hayate dodged left and right, occasionally using his sword to deflect the invisible shockwaves. At times, he was forced uncomfortably close by Shinno’s relentless assault!

But he remained unfazed!

“Four minutes left.”

Hayate had sent out the signal before, and within five minutes, Anbu or Military Police Force who saw the signal would undoubtedly arrive here!

And now one minute had passed already,

‘For the remaining four minutes, let me play with you.’

The raging Wind Attribute Chakra surged into his sword, and in an instant, Hayate slashed, a sharp blue sword light shot out from the blade, like a rainbow piercing the sky, heading straight for Shinno.

Shinno didn't dodge, instead, he countered with another Bone-Crushing Fist.

His fist, wrapped in dense green Chakra, exploded with force, colliding barbarically with the blue sword light.

Boom!

Shockwaves rolled as Shinno’s fist shattered the blue sword light. And, with heavy steps, he turned into a blur rushing towards Hayate.

“Konoha-Style – Moonlight!”

Hayate once again executed a Secret Art-level Kenjutsu, his body turning into afterimages, rushing towards approaching Shinno like a ghost.

Shinno swung a punch at Hayate, but fis his fist passed through Hayate and the several afterimages trailing behind him without obstruction, finally smashing heavily into a nearby wall.

Boom!!

The two-meter-high wall collapsed instantly, turning into countless debris scattered around.

‘I miss?’

Shinno’s face slightly changed, then he felt a sword piercing through his back from behind, and with a puff, it pierced through his chest, revealing a blade shimmering with lightning.

‘How is it possible?’

Shinno’s eyes widened. Stumbling, he collapsed to the ground weakly.

Hayate slowly pulled the sword out of his body, and coldly said: “Your presence is very strong, but it seems to be inadequate.”

‘Wait a minute!’

‘Big brother’s Body Revival Technique was stolen from him, which means he also knows the Body Revival Technique.’

Seeing the sword blade about to leave Shinno’s back, Hayate fiercely stabbed it back in.

“Aarrrggghh~~”

Splurt!!

Shinno spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot that you have the Body Revival Technique.” Hayate grinned as he twisted the sword handle. He also trained the Body Revival Technique since he was a child, and knew how outrageous this forbidden technique was. As long as there was a breath left, it could turn the tide against all odds, leaving him no room for carelessness.

At this moment, Shinno felt as if all his internal organs had been crushed, but he was not afraid at all.

“As expected of the younger brother of Gekko Kanpū, you're just as detestable as your big brother!”

Shinno’s eyes narrowed, “Eight Gates Released Formation, all eight gates, open!!!”

Boom!

An overwhelming momentum suddenly surged out from within Shinno’s body.

Hayate’s expression changed at this.

‘Eight Gates Released Formation?’

‘Is the Eight Gates Released Formation used by Guy-senpai’s father?’

‘I can't afford to fight it…’

Without hesitation, Hayate pulled out his sword and retreated repeatedly.

Shinno slowly stood up from the ruins of the wall. His severe injuries quickly recovered under the Body Revival Technique, and with the surge of Chakra within him, his body suddenly grew several centimeters taller at this moment. His whole body was filled with muscles like iron blocks, resembling a bodybuilder.

He slowly turned around, revealing a handsome face without a single wrinkle, and even his gray hair instantly turned black!

‘Rejuvenation?’

Hayate frowned.

‘That’s not right.’

‘Why is it different from the Eight Gates Released Formation I know?’

‘And there is no Chakra steam cloak…’

‘Is he bluffing me or did he really open the fake Eight Gates?’

Hayate was getting restless again.

“Dark Taijutsu – Bone-Crushing Fist!!” Shinno’s figure flickered, appearing in front of Hayate like teleporting, and he casually punched forward.

Hayate’s eyes blurred. Feeling that he couldn’t dodge in time, he could only raise his sword to parry the punch.

Clang!

With the crisp sound of metal clashing, Hayate’s sword blade was unexpectedly shattered by Shinno’s punch, followed by a loud crash hitting Hayate’s shoulder.

Crack Crack…

Accompanied by a nauseating sound of bones breaking, Hayate crashed heavily into the concrete ground like a shrimp, with fractures all over his body, instantly losing consciousness.

Although Shinno’s Eight Gates Released Formation was achieved through tricks like the Body Revival Technique, his soaring strength was enough to crush Hayate.

Of course, being able to open the Eight Gates without dying was also thanks to Orochimaru. If he hadn't contributed some secret techniques, Shinno probably wouldn't have achieved this level.

Shinno looked down at Hayate, and said with a sneer: “I won't kill you so easily. I will use you to lure Gekko Kanpū out. I will make him wish he were dead!”

……

“Let me go, let me go, I want to personally beat up that old man!”

Two streets away, Naruto was being held up by Sasuke and Karin, kicking wildly in the air. Helpless, he could only watch as the scenery on both sides rapidly retreated.

“Naruto, Sasuke, Karin, what are you doing?” Holding bags of groceries, Tenzo walked out of a nearby supermarket.

When handling D-Rank Mission, usually let Naruto and the others handle the tasks themselves, while he went shopping and strolled around, using the commission from the D-Rank missions to pay for his expenses, living quite comfortably.

“Tenzo-sensei? That’s great! Hurry up, we found spy! My second brother is dragging him!” Karin quickly dropped Naruto and ran over, briefly explaining what had just happened.

Tenzo’s face turned serious, after handing over the things in his hand to Karin, he immediately rushed towards the battlefield.

However, unfortunately, when he arrived there, all he saw was a mess, with no sign of anyone.

‘Where’s Hayate?’

Tenzo looked around, even using Sensor Ninjutsu, but still couldn't find anyone.

Not long after, people from Anbu and the Military Police Force also arrived at the scene. After they divided into teams to search nearby, they used the testimony of Naruto’s group of three to draw Shinno’s face and issued a village-wide wanted notice.

But at this time, Kanpū had already rejuvenated and changed his appearance drastically. So trying to catch him based on the old man's portrait was doomed to fail.

……

At the same time.

Outside Konoha Prison.

Orochimaru walked towards the prison with a smile.

“Stop, this is Konoha Prison, leave immediately!” A Konoha’s Shinobi jumped out from the shadows and issued a warning.

“You should welcome me.” Orochimaru chuckled softly.

“Welcome? Who do you think you are…” Before the Konoha’s Shinobi could mock, he saw the black pupils of the person in front of him suddenly turning into crimson Sharingan, and his face changed instantly.

But before he could react, he was already under control of Orochimaru's Genjutsu.

“Yes…welcome to Konoha Prison…” The Konoha’s Shinobi said dully.

“That's better.” Orochimaru patted his shoulder with a smile, and passed him by.

As one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru's proficiency in Genjutsu was very high. He once infiltrated Kumogakure alone, using specially-made Genjutsu pills to control the previous Hachibi’s Jinchuriki and the Hachibi himself, and extracted Hachibi’s horn powder for research.

Now, with the three-tomoe Sharingan, his Genjutsu prowess had improved significantly. So controlling these prison guards was very simple for him.

Using the Sharingan to pave the way, Orochimaru smoothly infiltrated Konoha Prison, and in the deepest part, found his old friend… Shimura Danzo.
