Chapter 388: Punishment

Chapter 388: Punishment

Hokages Office.

Minato looked at Kanp, who was kneeling on one knee, with a surprised expression: Apologize? Kanp, you should get up first, tell me whats going on.

Kanp stood up with his head down, and said with guilty tone: Hokage-sama, this happened during Sandaime-samas reign. I was still in Anbu at that time and suddenly received a mission to monitor Orochimaru-sama. As a result, I was discovered by Orochimaru-sama during the surveillance period, and was invited by him to drink tea, and then made a deal with him

Minato felt that the amount of information in Kanps words was a bit too large, so he hurriedly quickly reached out his hand to ask him to stop, and then started contemplating.

Monitor Orochimaru?

Minato remembered the content of his chat with Hiruzen before, and asked softly: The order to monitor Orochimaru which was issued by Sandaime after the Battle of Kikyo Pass?

Kanp thought for a while, and affirmed: Yes, it is the period after the Battle of Kikyo Pass.

Minato nodded, thinking that hes on the right track. After the Battle of Kikyo Pass, Hiruzen began to suspect Orochimaru and Danzos unusual relationship, so he sent Anbu to monitor Orochimaru.

However, as one of the Sannin, Orochimaru is powerful, and the probability of wanting to monitor him without being discovered is minimal, so Kanp cannot be blamed for being discovered by Orochimaru.

Its just, what is going on with the transaction during the monitoring period?

Kanp was Anbu at the time. Even if he is discovered, he should not trade with the surveillance target. This is a serious violation of the Anbus Code of Regulations!

Once this incident is exposed, Kanp will inevitably be severely punished!

Wait, in that case, why did Kanp suddenly surrender himself?

Also, at that time, Kanp hadnt learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, and was just an ordinary Chunin, while Orochimaru was a legendary Sannin. Whether in terms of strength, status, or background, the difference between them are like heaven and earth, so what can they trade with each other?

Could it be Anbus intelligence?

Minatos heart sank, his face gradually became serious, and then he asked solemnly: Kanp, what did you trade with Orochimaru? Is it Anbus intelligence?

Kanp was startled, and quickly shook his head: Of course not, how could I betray the Anbu by giving its intelligence?

After saying that, Kanp neatly took out a azure scroll, a huge Ninjutsu scroll and the Kusanagi Sword.

I used my Body Revival Technique, and obtained Kusanagi Sword and this Ninjutsu scroll from Orochimaru-sama. Kanp bowed his head.

Kusanagi Sword?!

Minato was taken aback, and hurriedly left the intelligence and so on behind his head, grabbed the bamboo-like sword on the table, and gently draw the sword out of its sheath. The clear sword body is suddenly imprinted in the depths of Minatos blue pupils.

Minato turned the blade slightly, refracting the warm sunlight coming in from the window from time to time, looking bright and cold.

He stretched out his hand to caress the blade, feeling the cold, smooth, sharp touch on his fingertips, and his heartbeat couldnt help but speed up slightly: Is this sword really the legendary Kusanagi Sword?!

Faced with Kusanagi Sword, even Minato, who did not train Kenjutsu, is a little moved, let alone Kanp, who trained Konoha-Style Kenjutsu.

The temptation of this sword to him is probably far superior than anything else!

But what is worth for Orochimaru to exchange for the legendary Kusanagi Sword?

Moreover, theres also such a huge Ninjutsu scroll!

Minato sheathed the sword, then opened the Ninjutsu scroll, and roughly estimated that there were nearly a thousand Five-Attributes Ninjutsu recorded in this scroll!

Is Orochimaru crazy?!

Minato put down the Ninjutsu scroll and set his sights on the last azure scroll.

Body Revival Technique

Unfolding the azure scroll, Minato the densely packed characters on it, and frowned slightly: Kanp, where did this scroll come from?

Kanp shyly said: I got it from Dr. Shinno.

Dr. Shinno? Minato put down the scroll, feeling a little pain in his head, If I remember correctly, Dr. Shinno is a well-known doctor in the Shinobi World. He practices medicine everywhere, saved lives and healed the wounded. He is a doctor with extremely noble morals!

And this Body Revival Technique is his?

At first, Kanp reported about the small gambling hall to him. Later, Minato checked that it was Danzo who did it, so he sealed all these small gambling halls with a wave of his hand.

After that, Danzo, who had lost this large source of funding, started having idea about Gekko Tavern.

"

"

Minato didnt stop him even when he knew it, but instead instructs Hoshino to drag Danzo. It would be best to irritate him and make him do something like robbing him. At that time, Minato would have the reason to attack Danzo. Although this incident is not enough to take down Danzo directly, it is enough to rescue the genius youngster, who is suspected of mastering Wood Release, from the Root!

Kanp gave Minato the opportunity to pit Danzo. He didnt expect that he put Kanp into the pit instead.

Kanp, havent you ever thought about compromising with Advisor Danzo? Minato changed the subject again.

If you compromise once, there will be a second and third time, and youll finally consigned to eternal damnation. I would rather surrender than to bow my head to evil forces! Kanp said righteously.

Advisor Danzo is the villages higher-up, not an evil force. Minato shook his head with a wry smile.

Kanp didnt argue, but lowered his head and said: Hokage-sama, no matter what, I was at fault for this matter, please punish me!

Minato didnt speak, but pondered again.

Kanp indeed did something wrong. As Anbu, he should monitor the surveillance target during the execution of the mission, and try to not have contact with him.

But fortunately, Kanp did not sell any confidential information, and at that time, Orochimaru was the hero who led the victory of the Battle of Kikyo Pass, so no one can say that Kanp was wrong when he made a deal with him.

So, Kanps fault was limited to his violation of Anbus regulations.

But now that Kanp has withdrawn from Anbu

And Kanps Anbu contribution has been replaced with a big house

This is a bit awkward.

Minato looked at Kanp with a gloomy gaze, picked up the Kusanagi sword instead, and said: In that case, this Kusanagi Sword

Cough cough, Hokage-sama, that I personally prefer physical punishment. Kanp interrupted Minato with embarrassed smile.

Physical punishment?

Minato snorted coldly, and said in a pretentious manner, Then go to the Land of Rain to guard the border for one year!

One year?!

Kanp was terrified, and quickly bargained: Hokage-sama, a year is too long, what about a month?

Minatos face twitched upon hearing this, Who did you learn your bargaining skills from?

Ten months! Minato said sternly.

Two months! Kanp.

Half a year! Minato.

Four months! Kanp.

Five months! Minato.

Kanp calculated the time when he heard this, Its the end of April, and five months is the end of September, there is still time!

Deal! Kanp agreed immediately.

Minato felt as if he was being cheated by Kanp, and he said with a sullen face: The Kusanagi Sword and these two scrolls will be temporarily placed with me, and I will return them to you when you come back.

Kanp smiled flatteringly: Its fine.

Minatos expression became a bit unbearable, and he hurriedly said: What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and go!

Yes!
