Chapter 681: Brewing

Chapter 681: Brewing

Land of Fire.

Konoha.

Root’s underground headquarters.

In an empty secret room full of copper pipes, the dim lights were faltering, and Danzo sat on a gray tatami mat, staring indifferently at the information in his hand with his one eye.

In front of Danzo, there is a row of Root’s Shinobi knelt on one knee. They’re like puppets, they didn’t say anything and even their breathing could not be heard.

“Envoy from Kirigakure...”

After reading the information, Danzo’s saggy face slowly showed a strange sneer, “Hehehehe... hahahahaha... What a perfect timing! Everyone, it’s time to act!”

“Yes, Danzo-sama!” The group of Root’s Shinobi immediately turned into afterimage and disappeared from the secret room.

Danzo is extremely pleased at this moment. These subordinates are all Shinobi who had been successfully planted with Gozu Tenno, successfully connected to another space, and signed a summoning contract with Nue!

Although there are only ten of them, as long as they can nurture Nue to the limit, once the ten Nue self-destruct together, their power will be enough to destroy the entire Konoha!

“Yondaime, it's my turn to take the lead! hahahaha...”

In the dark secret room, Danzo’s laugh became more and more crazy and excited.

......

Hokage Tower.

“Two envoys, please come this way.”

On the third floor, Genma is leading Kirigakure’s chief envoy, Mei and deputy envoy, Ao towards the small conference room.

As for the remaining nine envoys from Kirigakure, Iwashi and Raido are responsible for settling them in Konoha's most famous hot spring inn.

Genma is also a hot-blooded man in his mid-twenties, so when he sees a beautiful woman like Mei, who is extremely superb in terms of figure, appearance and temperament, his heart naturally surges with excitement. From time to time, he turns his head to glance at Mei’s profile.

“Shiranui Genma... right?” Mei suddenly started to talk.

“Yes, please feel free to ask me if you have anything you don’t understand.” Genma said seriously as he walked.

“I have something to ask you.”

Mei stopped and said, “After seeing Yondaime Hokage, I want to meet Gekko Kanpū from your village!”

“Kanpū?”

Genma looked at her in surprise. While secretly wondering how she knew Kanpū, he replied, “As far as I know, Kanpū left the village for a mission a month ago, and he hasn’t come back since.”

“He’s not back yet?” Mei stroked her beautiful hair, and there’s a hint of doubt between her eyebrows.

‘He obviously left the Land of Water a few days earlier, so why haven't he returned to Konoha yet?’

‘Did he encounter an accident on the way?’

‘Is it because of Orochimaru?’

“It’s strange, how many times has this happen today?”

“Yeah, he obviously doesn’t have any symptoms on his body, but he is unconscious and weak, just like, It’s like...”

“Overdraft?”

Several nurses chattered continuously.

Keiko is now the head nurse, so she naturally would not join their discussion, but her intuition tells her that this matter will never stop here!

And the fact is just as Keiko thought. At night, more and more patients with the same ‘symptoms’ flooded into the Konoha Hospital, and of course there are worried relatives accompanying these ‘patients’!

“Doctor, although my son is messing around, he is a good man. What disease does he have?”

“Nurse, is my father-in-law okay? Will he recover later?”

The relatives surrounded the doctor and nurses to inquire about their relatives’ condition, but even the doctors and nurses couldn’t tell the reason, so they could only ask them to rest assured and wait for the test results.

When the relatives heard this, they are displeased and clamored for Medical-nin to treat their relatives, otherwise, they would go to Hokage Tower to file a complaint.

......

Deep at night.

On the long and winding east coastline of the Land of Fire, a crimson snake shadow reflects the faint moonlight, and swam quickly from the depths of the sea.

“I’m finally back.”

Kanpū looked the familiar coastline, and almost couldn’t control his excitement.

He thought that he could quickly return to Land of Fire with Garaga’s help, but he didn’t expect that this guy also has no sense of direction. If he didn’t meet a ship halfway through, maybe Kanpū would reach the Land of Lightning by now!

“Finally... I'm lucky enough to live up to my mission.” Garaga said in a tone that said he had worked hard but didn't want praise, “Then Kanpū, I will go back first.”

Kanpū had a straight face and snorted angrily: “Be careful of Manda when you go back, and don’t let that bastard come close to you, lest you get caught by Orochimaru’s plot again.”

“Understood.”

Garaga nodded, and then it turned into smoke and dissipated with a bang.

Kanpū raised his head and looked at the sky. It was almost nine o’clock at this time. He had not slept well at sea these days, so now that he finally landed ashore, the feeling of touching the earth made his sleepiness flood his brain like a fountain. But he is a determined Shinobi and full of willpower. If he wants to sleep, he must go back to sleep!

Sage Mode!

(✪ω✪)

Kanpū resisted the heavy drowsiness and sensed his Flying Thunder God Technique’s coordinates, then immediately went home while carrying the Jinchuriki!

Twenty seconds later, an invisible ring-shaped air wave exploded in front of the iron gate of the Gekko Mansion, and then Kanpū’s figure slowly and quietly floated down.

Unfortunately, there are no spectators nearby to see his cool entrance.

Kanpū put away Sage Mode tiredly, then created a shadow clone, ordering him to take the Jinchuriki to the Anbu’s headquarters, while he teleported into the mansion, returned to his bedroom and fell asleep immediately.
