Chapter 803: Twenty Billion Explosive Tags
Time passed, and autumn gave way to winter.
At Konoha’s gate, Izumo and Kotetsu leaned against both side of the gate, hands in their pockets, slightly lowering their heads as if dozing off.
In the morning mist, light snowflakes descended from the sky.
“It’s snowing.” Kotetsu suddenly opened his eyes, looking up. In the tranquil scenery, the first snow fluttered down like cotton.
“Another year is about to pass.” Izumo yawned, softly speaking as if not wanting to disturb the serene scene.
“Izumo, what is that?” Kotetsu suddenly pointed to the distance in the sky.
Izumo squinted his eyes and, in the white mist, vaguely saw small birds the size of palms.
“Birds?”
‘In the middle of winter, where did so many small birds come from?’
Izumo and Kotetsu are on alert in an instant.
As the birds flew closer, the two finally saw clearly what kind of birds those were. It was paper cranes!
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
The paper cranes in the sky transformed into a figure with folded wings and a cold demeanor. face was blurred, and in the morning mist, it was both concealed and discernable: “Get Gekko Kanpū to come out and see me.” for new novels
“Who are you? What business do you have with Kanpū?” Izumo asked vigilantly.
“Settling debts.” Konan replied emotionlessly.
‘Settling debts?’
Izumo and Kotetsu exchanged glances: ‘Is it a debt of love?’
The two then snickered pervertedly.
“I'll go inform Kanpū.” Kotetsu turned around with a smile, swiftly disappearing into the morning mist.
Suddenly, at the spacious Konoha’s gate, only Izumo and Konan are left.
“What’s your name? Which Shinobi Village are you from?”
Izumo asked while putting away the kunai. He seemed relaxed, but underneath the green flak jacket, his muscles were tense. If Konan were to suddenly attack, he can immediately... shout for help!
Konan looked down at Izumo from a higher position, and did not answer.
“How did you meet Kanpū? Kanpū is my friend from the same class.” Izumo continued speaking.
But Konan still did not answer.
‘She looks very cold...’ Izumo knew that asking further would be fruitless, so he chose to shut his mouth, quietly waiting.
......
Gekko Mansion.
In the kitchen, Keiko had gotten up early to make seaweed onigiri and miso soup. She was very busy.
Not long after, a series of knocks came from the iron gate.
“This time, I only prepared 20 billion Explosive Tags.”
Konan ignored Kanpū’s gaze, and after forming hand seals, the water on the lake suddenly spread to both sides, revealing numerous wooden boxes!
The boxes were densely packed, forming a massive square formation of 100 meters by 100 meters, seemingly with more than two layers, covering more than half of the lake, which is very visually impactful.
Kanpū’s eyes up, and he immediately activated his Extraordinary Strength talent and went down to the lake to grab a wooden box.
The wooden box is about one meter square and it is tightly sealed. Kanpū pried it open and found that there was waterproof greased paper on the inner wall of the wooden box, and within the oil paper were the Explosive Tags!
Kanpū subconsciously pulled out a stack of Explosive Tags and counted them.
‘It’s just like counting banknotes!’
“Do you want to count them all?” Konan asked indifferently.
Kanpū’s action turned stiff: “No need, I can trust you.”
‘This is damned 20 billion Explosive Tags. Even if there is a money counting machine, I’m afraid it’ll need ten days and ten nights to finish counting them all. I couldn’t bear such loneliness.’
“Konan, how did you manage to bring so many Explosive Tags here?” Kanpū wisely changed the subject.
“It's none of your concern.” Konan replied expressionlessly, and then her figure turned into countless paper pieces, flying into the air. In a blink of an eye, she disappeared into the vast expanse of white snow, leaving no trace.
‘Rich women sure have their own personalities.’
Kanpū looked down at the gradually closing lake surface and decisively created thirty shadow clones, instructing them: “You guys, transport these wooden boxes to ‘home’.”
Because he was worried that Konan hadn't left, Kanpū spoke very crypticly, but Kanpū believes that his shadow clones can understand what he meant.
‘However...’
“Hey, hey, do we have to carry so many boxes?”
“When will we finish moving them?”
“It’s too much!”
If it is 20 billion in cash, then 200 of the same wooden box in Kanpū’s hand would be enough to hold them. However, the 20 billion Explosive Tags did not equate to 20 billion in cash.
Since each cash note was 100, and one sheet of Explosive Tag is only one, so there are more than 20,000 wooden boxes in this lake!
Kanpū was good at math, so he said with a smile: “Don't be discouraged by the difficulties in front of you. There’s only 20,000 boxes. If we distribute them evenly, each of you will only be responsible for 666. If you take four at a time, that's just 166 round trips. Each trip takes about 30 seconds, so there’s two trips in one minute. 166 trips mean a little over 80 minutes. If everyone worked well, you can finish moving them in one hour!”
“20,000 boxes... Only?”
“Just a little over 80 minutes?”
“It must be easy to say it, right?”
The group of shadow clones stared at Kanpū emotionlessly.
Kanpū felt somewhat guilty: ‘These bastards won’t go on strike and leave me alone, right?’
‘How long will it take for one person to carry all this?’
Kanpū was a little panicked. He cleared his throat, and said firmly: “As the main body, I naturally share blessings and face difficulties together. Let's move it together!”
