Chapter 704: Abnormality
In the midsummer of July, the scorching sun at noon hangs in the blue sky, and white clouds float freely. Kanpū lies on the grass with his head resting in the shade of the tree, legs crossed, and the warm wind blew through his hair, making it feel comfortable.
“I want to ask you something!” Sasuke stood nearby with a solemn expression on his arrogant face.
Kanpū opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again and sighed: “Sasuke, I know what you want to ask, sigh! What a sin!”CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Hearing this, Sasuke’s eyes lit up, ‘He knows that I want to ask about Big Brother Shisui!’
‘And he must know something!’
Sasuke was about to ask in detail when he heard Kanpū continued: “Naruto... he fights against you all day long, just to attract your attention, Sasuke, do you understand Naruto’s feelings for you?”
“You... what are you talking about?!” Sasuke's expression changed drastically, and he felt as if he had rushed into a hot spring on a cold day.
“Naruto is suffering from emotions that his age should not bear. Sasuke, I hope you can face Naruto’s feelings bravely!”
Kanpū stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist heavily in the air, and said sincerely, “Be a warm-hearted boy!”
“I...”
Sasuke felt a tightness in his chest that he couldn't let out, making him flush to the ears. He wanted to block Kanpū’s mouth with his foot.
“That's not what I want to ask!”
Sasuke defended anxiously with a red face, “I want to ask about Big Brother Shisui!”
“Shisui... That guy is a cunning person. Even after so many years, Anbu hasn’t found his trace. He might have taken my appearance and was cheating out there.”
Kanpū then muttered, “And the most dangerous place is the safest place. Maybe he is in Konoha now!”
Kanpū is telling the truth, but who would believe this?
At any rate, Sasuke doesn’t believe it, and he is still very angry. He feels that he has been tricked!
“If you don't want to say it, forget it!”
As the young master of the Uchiha Clan, Sasuke still has a proud personality. Seeing Kanpū talking nonsense, he immediately turned around and left arrogantly.
“No one believes the truth these days.”
Kanpū ignored Sasuke. He then stood up from the grass, then walked and hid behind a tree to relieve himself. During this period, he created a shadow clone and asked him to send information about the barbecue restaurant back to Anbu.
After a while, the shadow clone was disbanded and the memory was returned. Kanpū learned that the waiter he met at the barbecue restaurant was the Root’s Shinobi, who was discovered by Anbu before, Ichiro Yamano.
Kanpū felt a little regretful that such a great contribution was just gone.
At this moment, the battle between Naruto and Xianglin is already over. The two of them are covered with dirt, bruised and swollen at this time. They also agree to fight again one day!
Then, they started working as if nothing happened.
The six kids then picks gathered firewood, dug holes, sorted the ingredients, and started grilling after the preparations were completed. After a while, the rich aroma of meat slowly filled the air.
Not long after arriving home with Karin and Hinata, Kanpū was called to Ichigo hot spring inn by Anbu.
At this time, in addition to a large number of patients’ relatives who are doing a sit-in demonstration, a lot of onlookers gathered in Ichigo hot spring. And the gate of Ichigo hot spring was surrounded by the crowd.
After Kanpū entered the Ichigo hot spring inn from the back door, an Anbu jumped out and told him the latest information.
First, from the day before yesterday to the sit-in demonstration here by the patients' families here, in the past two days, no more patient has been added to the Konoha Hospital, which makes more and more Konoha’s villagers believe that all this is done by Kirigakure’s Shinobi.
Secondly, the mood of Kirigakure’s envoys is very unstable, and they are asking Konoha to give them an explanation.
This is why Kanpū was called here.
Kanpū is puzzled upon hearing this. Although he is familiar with Mei, but when it came to diplomacy, he had to let the advisor handle it, right?
But then he changed his mind after thinking about it. There are only three advisors in the village right now, and two of them were appointed after the retirement of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura after they retired. They have average ability and are mainly responsible for the village's government affairs. As for the diplomacy between the villages, it still has to be handed over to Hiruzen, but Hiruzen only proposed expelling the Kirigakure’s envoys two days ago...
‘Forget it, let me do it.’
When he came to the small courtyard where Mei and the others lived, Kanpū felt a series of cold eyes that showed no emotion as soon as he entered.
Kirigakure’s Shinobi in small groups stood at the corner of the small courtyard, looking at Kanpū with expressionless faces.
“Why did Yondaime Hokage send you here?” Mei walked from the wooden corridor with a hand on her hip and a charming temperament.
Kanpū said earnestly: “Who made us have a good relationship?”
Mei did not pick up Kanpū’s stubble. She walked up to Kanpū and asked in a deep voice: “Those outside, how long do you plan to let them continue!”
“This is a misunderstanding.”
Kanpū hurriedly explained, “Most recently, many people have been hospitalized with strange diseases. Because it happened when you...”
“I know all of that.”
Mei interrupted him, “If this thing was really done by us, you Konoha’s Anbu will not just do nothing. In other words, you know that this matter has nothing to do with us. But then, why do you still let those people outside cause troubles?!”
Kanpū was startled: ‘Mei is very sharp.’
Kanpū was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mei again: “Moreover, after we were put under house arrest by your Konoha’s Anbu, the number of patients outside has stopped increasing. This is clearly a trap for us! I now seriously doubt the ability of Konoha’s Anbu to do things. As long as you can find the people behind the scenes or cure those patients, things wouldn’t have developed to this point!”
Kanpū coughed dryly and said, “Don’t get too excited, Terumi Mei. It’s not that the matter cannot be solved, but...”
As he said that, Kanpū suddenly had a flash of inspiration, so strong that he noticed something was wrong!
As Mei said, the members of Kirigakure’s envoys have been ‘protected’ by Konoha’s Anbu in this hot spring inn since the night before yesterday, and cannot contact outsiders, so how come she know that in the past two, there is no new patient in Konoha Hospital?
“But what?” Mei frowned and looked at Kanpū.
Kanpū shook his head and said with a bitter expression: “But... we haven’t got any clues yet.”
