Chapter 482: Jiraiya's Return
Time passed so quickly, and since I signed in at Anbu, three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
May of Konohas 53 Years, late spring.
At dawn, Kanps shadow clone lazily came to the third locker room of the bathhouse with yawn to sign in, regardless of weather conditions!
The rest of the sixth team, including Shisui and Kakashi, have already arrived.
Husky, youre late again!
Kakashi lifted the red fox mask, revealing a thin face that was mostly covered by the black mask, with dissatisfaction and helplessness in his exposed right eye.
In the past three years, Kanps shadow clone has been lazy every day. Except for signing in, he does not do anything. Even if he goes out for a mission, he is mostly passive. In contrast, Kakashi takes the lead in every mission, and it is unknown how many people have been killed by him in these three years. From the Shinobi of enemys villages, he has earned the title, Copy Ninja. The Anbu Commander, Eagle, also promoted Kakashi to be the Captain of the sixth team.
As for the original Captain Jizo, Eagle has transferred him to another team to serve as Captain.
It is said that on the day of his transfer, Jizos eyes were filled with tears, holding Eagles hand for a long time and could not speak.
There is another mission?
Kanps shadow clone stretched his waist and said, Well, Captain Kakashi, isnt your efficiency in receiving the mission too diligent? If this continues, Commander Eagle will even be passed by you.
Under the black mask, Kakashis mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a snort: Its just you who are too lazy!
If he didn't know that this guy was just a shadow clone, Kakashi would have been rough.
After all, his Sharingan is hungry and thirsty for Kanps Five-Attributes Ninjutsu!
Shisui jumped out and pulled Kanps shadow clone to the side, and asked in a low voice: Whats the situation over there? Why haven't you come back?
Kanps shadow clone shrugged and said: I dont know, there has been no news for more than a year.
Kanps main body usually summons shadow clones in Ryuchi Cave, then when the shadow clones dissipate, their memory will also be transferred to other shadow clones mind.
In the first two years, Kanp often summon shadow clones to fight against the enemy, but in the past half a year, it didnt happen anymore. If it wasnt for his own existence, this shadow clone would have to suspect that the main body has been killed by Obito and Orochimaru.
What about you?
Kanps shadow clone asked quietly, That pervert Jiraiya hasnt returned to the village yet?
Shisui said with bitter expression: Its Jiraiya-sama. Although you are a shadow clone, you cant slander Jiraiya-sama like that.
Kanps shadow clone shrugged, looking like he was not afraid of anything. At worst, he would be humanely harmonized, at any rate, the blame wont reach him.
But because they are not Konohas Shinobi, they didnt have good roots, so he couldnt give them the chance to have a summoning contract with Mount Myoboku.
After selecting Minato as the contractor of Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya still firmly controls the summoning contract. To give a brief example, as Minatos disciple, Kakashi, Obito and Rin, even if three people cannot all sign a summoning contract with Mount Myoboku, at least it should be possible to have one, right?
But it turned out that there were none at all, obviously, because these three people did not meet Jiraiyas requirements!
Since even Kakashis group of three are not good, Jiraiya is even less likely to agree to Shisui.
Minatos face is full of helplessness. He is familiar with Jiraiyas character, and it would be almost impossible to change his decision.
It seems that I can only say sorry to Shisui.
Is there any information about Orochimaru? Jiraiya didn't want to embarrass his apprentice too much, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
Minato then said: Orochimarus whereabouts are still uncertain, but it is certain that Orochimaru not only has a cooperative relationship with Sasori of the Red Sand, but Obito has also acted with them.
Kanps shadow clone has been staying in Konoha, so the important information sent back from Ryuchi Cave has always been reported to Minato!
Jiraiya frowned subconsciously: How did your disciple get mixed up with Orochimaru?
Minato shook his head with a wry smile, and then said solemnly: Maybe its like what Kanp said, a powerful organization has appeared in the Shinobi World, which is composed of the S-Rank Missing-nin of the all countries working together.
Who is Kanp? Jiraiya suddenly asked.
Gekko Clans excellent Shinobi, Jiraiya-sensei, you have met him before.
Minato smiled and said, When Orochimaru defected, the Shinobi who led you was Kanp.
It turned out to be him. Jiraiya also remembered the Shinobi who was wearing a wolf mask back then.
Minato then said: In fact, I originally wanted to recommend Kanp to you, but Kanp was contracted with Ryuchi Cave, so I recommend Shisui.
Contracted with Ryuchi Cave?
Jiraiya cautiously asked, Orochimaru is also a contractor of Ryuchi Cave. Is there any relationship between them?
Minato didnt hide it, and told him about how Kanp and Shisui get the loaction of Ryuchi Cave from Orochimarus shadow clone, to how Kanp locked the Senjutsu Chakra with Kyubis Chakra and Four Symbols Seal, to how he successfully signed a summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave, and then to how Orochimaru colluded with Obito and Sasori to attack Kanp. Everything was told without omission.
Hearing this, Jiraiya immediately rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, He could block the attacks of Orochimaru, Uchiha Obito, and Sasori of the Red Sand. This Kanp must not be a simple Shinobi.
However, the battle between Shinobi is not about whoever is stronger. Personal strength, combat experience, the help of Summoned Beast, external terrain, and even weather factors will all affect the ultimate direction of the battle.
If the Ninjutsu they master happens to restrain the other side, they can even restrain the opponent completely, so Jiraiya doesnt think that Kanps real strength can allow him to fight in one-on three situation.
The two exchanged information again, and finally, Jiraiya left because it was not early anymore and it was time for him to collect materials.
