Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

"Kanpū, what's going on?"

Kushina, who had been washed away by the water, crawled out of the mud in a disheveled state and asked.

In the previous battle, they had managed to shatter Tobirama's hand, but he recovered in the blink of an eye. This proves that Impure World Reincarnation did indeed grant an immortal body, but why couldn't Tobirama's body regenerate in front of Kanpū?

Hiruzen looked at Kanpū suspiciously, and a terrifying guess suddenly flashed in his heart, 'Could it be that Kanpū is the one who resurrected Nidaime with Impure World Reincarnation?'

'He used the Truth-Seeking Ball to destroy Nidaime while releasing the Impure World Reincarnation, Nidaime did not recover?'

'But Kanpū had no reason to do this.'

Hiruzen is very puzzled.

At this moment, the others, all covered in water and mud, gathered around.

Kakashi, in particular, felt a growing sense of frustration. Everyone helped Hiruzen fight Tobirama, and they were all beaten very badly. So why did when Kanpū started showing off, it only involves him?

Facing everyone's doubts, Kanpū smiled modestly and said, "It's very simple. Because the Truth-Seeking Ball contains the power of all creation, it can dismantle any Ninjutsu. Although Impure World Reincarnation is Forbidden Technique, it ultimately can't escape from the category of Ninjutsu. When the two powers collide, Impure World Reincarnation naturally collapses and disintegrates."

Everyone nodded in realization, but then looked at each other.

"Do you understand?"

"No, how about you?"

"I don't understand either."

"What is the power of all creation?"

Hiruzen, Asuma, Guy and the others were utterly confused.

Kanpū didn't want to waste his precious words on these men. Instead, he turned to Kushina and asked, "Sister Kushina, can you sense Orochimaru?"

Although he suspects that Orochimaru has already fled, it was best to have someone with strong Sensor Ability confirm it.

Although Kushina is also very confused, she still nodded and stepped forward, understanding the crisis wasn't over.

At this time, the sea of ​​trees in a diameter of five kilometers has been shrouded in flames. The intense fire had turned it into a sea of fire, with huge tongues of flame licking the sky and thick black smoke rising.

The intense heat distorted the air at the edge of the fire, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Kushina walked to the edge of the fire, closed her eyes to sense, and after a while, shook her head slightly, "I can't sense Orochimaru's Chakra."

"Wait!"

Kakashi suddenly stepped forward with a grim expression, "We seem to have forgotten an important thing!"

"What is it?" Everyone looked towards him in confusion.

"Tenzo…" Kakashi looked at Kanpū with a somber gaze.

"Tenzo?"

Kanpū looked around, 'Yeah, where's Tenzo?'

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock.

"That… Tenzo didn't escape earlier and was trapped in the sea of ​​trees by Orochimaru." Guy looked Kanpū with his big eyes flashing.

Kanpū's body trembled upon hearing this, 'Don't tell me… Did I personally burn Tenzo to death?'

'Oh my God, Tenzo!'

'I really didn't know you were still in there. You... you died so horribly!!'

Kanpū's sadness surged like a river, and his eyes were blurred with tears at the time.

"It is still not certain that Tenzo is really dead."

Kakashi said solemnly, "Let's put out the fire first. Maybe Orochimaru also took him away when he left."

'Isn't that worse than death?'

Kanpū was distressed and couldn't breathe.

Hiruzen took a mouthful of post-battle smoke and then ordered the fire to be extinguished. The Shinobi surrounding the sea of fire immediately turned into fire fighter and began to spit water.

...

"Achoo!"

"Achoo!!"

"Ah… Ahh… Achoo!!!"

In the depths of Ryuchi Cave.

Tenzo, covered in soot, sneezed three times in a row.

His almond-shaped black eyes emotionlessly stared at the beautiful woman floating above him, feeling utterly abandoned by the world.

"Thank you so much this time, Tagorihime." Orochimaru stood beside Tenzo, smiling at the beautiful woman.

"According to the agreement, you must provide me with ten thousand living sacrifices!" Tagorihime said with a snort.

To be honest, she didn't want to help Orochimaru at all, but there's nothing she could do about it. After Orochimaru mastered Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode, he not only got the recognition and legacy of the White Snake Sage, but also got back Ryuchi Cave's summoning scroll, so he is now a legitimate representative for Ryuchi Cave in the Shinobi World!

Therefore, when Orochimaru requested reverse summoning and other unreasonable demands, Tagorihime could not refuse!

"Is this human my sacrifice?" Tagorihime flew to Tenzo's side, flicking her snake tongue as she opened her shark-sized mouth, ready to devour him.

At this time, Tenzo felt a chill in his heart. He knows that as long as Orochimaru said 'yes', he would be swallowed whole by this woman.

'It seems fine to die on a woman's belly, but why not on other…' Tenzo has no expression on his face, but he was on the verge of collapsing inside.

"No, that won't do."

Orochimaru waved Tagorihime away like a fly, and gloomily said with a smile, "This is my important test subject."

'After walking around for decades, Tenzo, you have finally returned to my grasp…' Orochimaru chuckled heartily.

When Tenzo was a child, he was one of Orochimaru's live test subjects for the transplant experiments of Hashirama's cell. Orochimaru thought he had failed and discarded him, but unexpectedly, Danzo had picked him up. Orochimaru had never forgotten this.

'It seems I'm safe for the time being…' Tenzo quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Konoha.

After everyone extinguished the sea of fire, the group immediately rushed in to search for Tenzo.

Fortunately, they didn't find any human remains in the ashes. They knew if there were no surprises, Orochimaru probably took Tenzo with him when he fled!

"But, how did Orochimaru do it?" Hiruzen was very puzzled.

Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, if he is alone, he might have managed to escape silently, but if he takes Tenzo with him, it will be much more difficult!

Unless…

"Space-Time Ninjutsu?" Kakashi raised his eyelid.

Kanpū's heart skipped a beat and he immediately thought of something.

He quickly bit his thumb, formed hand seals, and slapped the ground.

Summoning Technique!

Bang!

The light smoke dispersed, but nothing appeared.

'Tagorihime didn't come!'

Kanpū's face darkened as he tried summoning Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime, but they also didn't appear.

It wasn't until the fourth attemptthat he succeeded in summoning Garaga.

"Roar!!" Garaga roared furiously as soon as he came out. The scarlet snake scales rubbed quickly on the ground, and he opened his mouth and bit towards Kanpū.

The stench was unbearable, and Hanfeng frowned in disgust. He waved his hand to cancel Summoning Technique, and directly kicked Garaga back to Ryuchi Cave.

"Kanpū, what's going on?"

Kakashi looked at him in confusion and asked, "Isn't that snake your Summoned Beast?"

Kanpū feigned indifference and said: "must be behind this! After mastering Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode and gaining the White Snake Sage's approval, the three Hime sided with him. Orochimaru must also have infused Garaga with a medicine that can grow his reverse scale! So he's not recognizing me now."

Luckily, the Garaga who has the reverse scale doesn't listen to anyone, so the summoning contract with Kanpū is retained. Otherwise, the blood on his thumb would have been wasted.

As for the three Hime...

Kanpū considered his relationship with them quite harmonious. So he felt that being unilaterally severed from the summoning contract was likely due to an order from the White Snake Sage.

'That cunning old snake!'

Kanpū couldn't help but remember how, after acquiring Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave, he asked the White Snake Sage for the White Rage Technique and Inorganic Reincarnation, only to be rejected. The reason given was that his Sage Mode lacked purple eyeshadow, deeming it improper.

'And now that Orochimaru has mastered the 'real' Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode, the White Snake Sage would certainly...'

'Wait!'

'Now that I think about it, Orochimaru should already have mastered the White Rage Technique and Inorganic Reincarnation, right?'Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'I haven't seen him use it before… Does he want to keep it as trump cards until the end?'

But compared to this, Kanpū was furious with Ryuchi Cave's attitude!

Although the existence of the three Hime and Garaga is not very helpful to Kanpū, the feeling of being poached, ignored by the White Snake Sage, and betrayed by the three Hime makes Kanpū very very unhappy!

'Just because Orochimaru's Sage Mode included has your Ryuchi Cave's eyeshadow?'

'Was that enough reason to kick me out?'

'Unforgivable!'

'Yeah!'

'Once the matter here is settled, I'll head to Ryūchi Cave to confront the White Snake Sage. If she doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll make snake stew out of her!'

'If one pot isn't enough, I'll set up a barbecue!'
