Chapter 876: Long Story
Konoha’s Gate.
After the Anbu’s Shinobi and the Military Police Force’s members withdraw, this place once again became the territory of Konoha's gatekeepers, Kotetsu and Izumo.
At this time, as the sky gradually darkened, the number of pedestrians entering and leaving the gate gradually decreased, and the two gatekeepers leaned against each other, discussing the major event of the cooperation between the Anbu and the Military Police Force joint force to capture a spy.
“The must have obtained some important intelligence from the village, otherwise, the Anbu and the Military Police Force wouldn't have searched for seven days without stopping.” Kotetsu said solemnly.
“It's a pity we still didn't find him in the end.” Izumo said with some regret.
Of course, they were still unaware of the intelligence regarding Hayate being captured by the spy.
The two chatted and talked about the last time Uchiha Ōmadara used Sharingan to invade the village, and they couldn’t help feeling the situation of Shinobi World.
First, Kumogakure occupied Yugakure and deployed troops to the border of the Land of Fire. Then, one after another, incidents of spy infiltration occurred in Konoha, indicating a trend of an imminent war.
‘Such troublesome times!’
As they were discussing the affairs of the country and the people, a tall and thin figure approached from a distance.
“Hey, that person looks somewhat familiar.” Kotetsu said hesitantly.
“I think so too.”
Izumo took a few steps forward and vaguely saw the person's face, “It seems to be Kanpū.”
“What do you mean seems? It's me!” When Kanpū saw the two of them, he immediately flickered to in front of them.
“Kanpū, it's really you. Why have you lost so much weight?” Kotetsu exclaimed in surprise.
‘Naturally, you'd lose weight if you were bedridden for four months...’ Kanpū sighed: “I was beaten up by the society.”
“Kanpū, what's wrong with your eyes?” Izumo stared at Kanpū's eyes in surprise.
Those pupils, which seemed to flicker with a deep blue light, gave them a mysterious and vast feeling, as if they were facing the universe!
“Ah, children, long stories are best told another time. I'll tell you when I have the chance. I need to see Hokage-sama first.” Kanpū, who turned on Tenseigan, indicated that he didn't want to talk to these extras and walked past them towards the Hokage Tower.
“Kanpū, let's have supper together tonight.” Kotetsu shouted.
“Sure thing!”
......
When Kanpū arrived at the Hokage Tower, the sky was already dim, and most people had finished work, but the Hokage's Office was still brightly lit.
‘As expected of the best NPC of the year.’
Kanpū admired inexplicably, and just as he was about to go upstairs, he saw two figures approaching.
“Kanpū?!”
Anbu Commander, Eagle and Military Police Force’s Captain, Kakashi stared at Kanpū in astonishment, their faces full of disbelief.
‘Wasn't Kanpū captured by Abyss?’
‘How did he come back?’
‘Did Abyss let him go?’
‘And what happened with his eyes?’
Kakashi interrupted, “After you left, Guy, Itachi and I went to the Land of Whirlpools to find you, and there, we discovered traces of your battle.”
‘It turns out that my Kusanagi Sword was taken by you.’
When Kanpū returned, he specifically went to the Land of Whirlpools, only to find that his Kusanagi Sword was taken away. He didn’t expect it being taken by Kakashi.
So Kanpū reached out expressionlessly: “Give it back to me.”
“Huh?” Kakashi was taken aback.
“My sword!” Kanpū exclaimed.
“What sword?” Kakashi looked puzzled.
“Kusanagi Sword!”
“What kind of sword?”
“Kusanagi Sword!!”
“What kind of sword?”
“Kusanagi Sword!”
“What kind of sword?”
“Kusanagi Sword!”
“What kind of sword?”
“Kusa!!” Kanpū was furious, rolling up his sleeves as if ready to fight.
Kakashi took out a sealing scroll after playing enough, forming a hand seal to retrieve the sword from inside.
‘My treasure...’ Kanpū took it with one hand, gently caressing it.
“Okay, stop touching it, continue quickly.” Kakashi said impatiently.
Kanpū deliberately dragged on, then finally continued: “After arriving at the Land of Whirlpools, a Wood Release Shinobi who called himself Senju Tathagata attacked me. I didn't know if he was the leader of Abyss, but we fought for two days and two nights. In the end, due to my negligence, I lost and was captured.”
“And then?” Minato asked nervously.
“After that, I passed out. When I woke up, I found myself tied to an operating table, unable to see anything with my eyes, and then someone injected something into my body every day.” Kanpū said expressionlessly.
‘Live experiments?’
Minato, Eagle and Kakashi’s hearts shivered.
“And it went on like this for I don't know how long. One day, I found my eyes suddenly sore. After four or five times, my eyes turned out like this.” Kanpū gently touched his eye sockets.
Minato and the others exchanged glances.
Eagle then asked puzzledly: “Then what? Did Abyss just let you go like that?”
Kanpū shook his head: “They wanted to dig out my eyes, but when I could see again, I gained powerful strength!”
“Powerful strength?” Kakashi looked at his eyes, then hesitantly said, “Are these eyes some kind of Kekkei Genkai like Sharingan?”
Kanpū shook his head: “I don’t know, all I know is that those people called these eyes: Tensigan!”
