Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

With the single strike that sliced through more than ten towering peaks, Kanpū ignored Yondaime Raikage and flew away.

Yondaime Raikage clenched his left fist tightly, and veins completely shown on his arm as he struggled to suppress the urge to punch Kanpū's head.

It's a great shame!

To be threatened by others like this, Yondaime Raikage wanted nothing more than to fight Kanpū to the death, even if it meant dying in the process!

But behind him was the entire Kumogakure. His own death didn't matter, but if Kanpū were to take his anger out on the people in the village or 'accidentally' strike a civilian with his sword…

The consequences would be unimaginable!

So, Yondaime Raikage had no choice but to endure this humiliation.

As for revenge?

Even the Chakra Cannon, which had taken decades of Kumogakure's technology to create and the Chakra of thousands of Kumogakure's Shinobi to be used, couldn't defeat Kanpū. Then, no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to avenge this humiliation in his lifetime!

Standing on the edge of the mountainside square, Yondaime Raikage took a couple of deep breaths of the cold air before turning and descended the mountain.

"Raikage-sama!!!" When Darui and the others saw Yondaime Raikage coming down, they immediately overjoyed.

"Raikage-sama, have you defeated Gekko Kanpū?"

"As expected of Raikage-sama!"

"Raikage-sama truly is the most powerful Shinobi in the Shinobi World!"

The surrounding Kumogakure's Shinobi were proud, but they quickly noticed the empty space where Yondaime Raikage's right arm used to be.

"Raikage-sama, your arm…" Darui was both shocked and angry.

"Don't worry about the details!" Yondaime Raikage said with a calm face, "Darui, immediately send an order to the army to withdraw from the Land of Hot Water!"

"What?" Darui was taken aback.

"Since it is not Konoha who captured B, then we have no reason to continue targeting Konoha." Yondaime Raikage said solemnly.

"…Understood." Darui recalled the terrifying sword light that had streaked across the sky just now and realized something, so he immediately bowed before leaving.

Yondaime Raikage continued to order, "From now on, any missions involving the Land of Fire and Konoha must be approved by the elders before they can be accepted."

"…Yes." The rest of Kumogakure's Shinobi looked at each other in blank dismay, and gradually understood.

'This is an unequal treaty with Konoha.'

'Damn it!'

The crowd lowered their heads in anger and frustration.

…

After leaving Kumogakure, Kanpū immediately went online, followed the network cable and quickly teleported back to Konoha, and rushed to Hokage Tower to report to Minato.

After hearing everything, Minato's expression became serious, "With Nagato and Konan dead, the greatest threat from the Akatsuki should have been eliminated, but Rinnegan and Hachibi were both snatched away by Zetsu… Wait, I understand now. No wonder Zetsu wanted to save Obito. It turns out that they intend for him to continue the plan to revive the Jubi!"

"Obito?" Kanpū was taken aback.

"It happened not long ago. White Zetsu infiltrated the prison and rescued him." Minato said solemnly, "With transplanted Rinnegan, Obito will inevitably invade the village again to capture Kyubi!"

'The rescue capabilities of White Zetsu were indeed an unsolvable problem, but…' Kanpū smiled and said, "Hokage-sama, without Kamui, Obito wouldn't dare invade our village, and compared to capturing Kyubi from Kushina-nee and Naruto, I believe he will take a third option instead."

"A third option?" Minato looked at Kanpū in confusion.

"Kumogakure's Gold and Silver Brothers!" Kanpū said.

"Gold and Silver Brothers? The Kumogakure's Shinobi who killed Nidaime Hokage?" Minato remembered these names.

Kanpū nodded and said, "When they were still alive, they were swallowed by Kyubi and survived inside it by consuming its Chakra and flesh. After that, they both possessed Kyubi's Chakra."

Hearing this, Minato's face slightly changed, "In other words, as long as Obito used Impure World Reincarnation to summon Gold and Silver Brothers, he could revive Jubi?"

"Yes, but because Kyubi's Chakra inside their bodies is incomplete, the revived Jubi will also be incomplete." Kanpū explained.

"Even so…" Minato fell into deep thought immediately.

'Once Jubi is resurrected, it would inevitably bring great changes to the Shinobi World. Although Kanpū had the Tenseigan, which rivaled the Rinnegan, what if Tenseigan couldn't defeat Jubi?'

Minato thought about it and then thought of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

'Perhaps… it was time to consider having Itachi and Shisui swap their Mangekyo Sharingan, so as to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.'

Thinking of this, Minato shared his thoughts with Kanpū.

'Awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan…' Hanfeng nodded and said enthusiastically, "Hokage-sama, this is indeed a way to quickly enhance Konoha's strength!"

'If Itachi and Shisui could awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan by swapping their eyes, what would happen to the Child of Destiny, Sasuke?'

Kanpū is looking forward to it.

…

The next day.

In a small country in the Shinobi World.

Tobi, who has been traveling underground all night, finally arrived at his destination, a dark and empty underground space.

And, at the end of this space stood a giant tree, which was none other than the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

This was the secret base where Nagato and the others had sealed Rokubi and Nanabi before!

"Obito, let's begin." Black Zetsu said, preparing to control Obito to perform the Phantom Dragon Nine Consuming Seals.

Obito quickly interrupted, "Wait, do you intend to keep me in a sealed state forever?"

"The seal on you was personally set by Namikaze Minato. It will take a few days to remove it." Black Zetsu said.

"A few days?" Obito laughed coldly, "Then, how long will it take to seal Hachibi?"

Black Zetsu choked by Obito's words.

Previously, with the combined efforts of Deva Path Pain, Konan, Hyōketsu, Hidan, Kisame, Kakuzu, and Zetsu, it had taken more than twenty days to seal Rokubi and Nanabi, averaging over ten days per Biju.

If they relied solely on Tobi's Chakra to seal Hachibi, it would take more than two months!

'It seems that removing the seal on Obito's body is really necessary…' Black Zetsu nodded, "In this case, let's deal with your seal first."

The seal set by Minato was naturally formidable. Despite Tobi's best efforts, he couldn't budge it at all.

Two days later, Tobi was in despair, "This kind of seal isn't something that can be broken by humans."

Obito said with a sneer, "Yondaime Hokage was a master of Uzumaki Clan's Fuinjutsu. Without a certain level of expertise, how can it be unlocked?"

"What should we do then?" Tobi was at his wits' end.

"In terms of sealing, aside from the Five Great Shinobi Villages, those Shinobi Monks at the temple are the most skilled. Tobi, go to the Wind Temple." Black Zetsu said.

In fact, the strength of the Shinobi Monks in the Fire Temple is generally better than that of the Wind Temple, but the Fire Temple had a good relationship with Konoha. If they go there to remove the seal, it is no different from walking right into a trap!

"I understand." Tobi responded happily.

Half a day later, Tobi, carrying Obito, arrived at the Wind Temple in the Land of Wind. Then, they hired the temple's Shinobi Monks at a high price to break the seal on Obito's body.

After examining the seal, the temple's Shinobi Monks said, "Sir, the seal on your body is extremely strong. It will take at least five days to break."

'Five days was acceptable.'

Neither Tobi, Black Zetsu, nor Uchiha Obito had any objections, so they stayed at the Wind Temple.
