Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Kumogakure advocates martial arts. The previous Raikage and Kumogakure’s higher-ups also advocated military expansion. Therefore, they pay special attention to the strong and talented individuals from the other Great Shinobi Villages.

They send spy to the other Great Shinobi Villages all year round to collect relevant information in various countries and Shinobi Villages, and the young and promising Kanpū is one of them.

However, several years ago, due to Kanpū’s notorious nickname ‘Gekko Nigeru’ many years ago, the attention of the intelligence personnel in Kumogakure paid towards Kanpū decreased by several levels. After all, who would care about a Shinobi who is only skilled at running away?

However…

Yondaime Raikage looked at Gekko Nigeru, who was heavily surrounded by Kumogakure’s Shinobi and still dared to brandish his sword fiercely, with a somewhat aggressive expression, ‘Damn the intelligence department, their evaluation of Gekko Nigeru is totally wrong!’

‘But it’s okay. After today, there will be no more Gekko Nigeru and Gekko Ijime, hmph!’

Yondaime Raikage snorted angrily, and the ground beneath his feet instantly shattered. His huge body figure appeared behind Kanpū as if teleporting and his fist fiercely hammered towards Kanpū’s temple.

The fist had yet to reach, but the violent shockwaves emanating from it had already oppressed Kanpū’s head, giving him a sense of unavoidable inevitability.

But Kanpū turned his head calmly, his eyes full of disdain: ‘Is that all?’

‘What's going on?’

Yondaime Raikage’s expression changed slightly. When he entered his extreme speed state, the movements of others appeared extremely slow in his eyes, as if they were in a world with one-third of the normal speed, while he was in a world with three times the normal speed. The worlds between the two is very different!

Just like the nearby Kumogakure’s Shinobi, their eyes were still fixed on their previous positions, their bodies slightly swaying as if moving like snails, but Gekko Nigeru in front of him runs, his turned his head ‘slowly' as usual, and his eyes naturally locked in his own eyes. Yondaime Raikage even sensed a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if saying: Is that all?

Yondaime Raikage’s heart was filled with shock and anger, and the speed of his fists suddenly increased dramatically, breaking through the heavy shockwaves and bursting out with continuous blinding sparks in the intense friction.

Under the sparks, relying on Minato’s reaction speed, Kanpū easily captured Yondaime Raikage’s attack trajectory. Then, he turned off Dynamic Vision, lit up the Extraordinary Strength talent, and an endless stream of power erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption.

Kanpū clenched his right fist, gathering all his strength and punched out.

The shockwaves rolled, like an invisible palm coldly slapped on Yondaime Raikage’s face, making his two mustaches flutter.

At this moment, the world seemed to fall into absolute silence, leaving only Yondaime Raikage and Kanpū in each other's eyes, with no one else.

Boom!

With the fierce rumbling sound, the two fists collided in mid-air, causing the earth to crack, and dust filled the air. Then, a visible ripple, like a storm, swept out from between the two.

The nearest small leader of Kumogakure’s Shinobi, was powerless to resist and was swept away by the ripple, blood spraying everywhere.

Itachi’s face changed slightly. His mind had been on high alert since the Yondaime Raikage disappeared just now, but he hadn’t noticed anything yet, then a ripple surged towards him like a mountain, overwhelming everything in its path.

‘Has the attack ended?’

‘And it was blocked by Captain?’

Itachi took a sharp breath, astonished by the speed of the Yondaime Raikage, and was thankful for Kanpū’s fast reaction.

Since the ripples surged toward him, Itachi didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly used Body Flicker Technique to dodge backward.

Because the nearby Kumogakure’s Shinobi stood far away, they also managed to react in time and dodged backwards one after another.

After a few seconds, the ripples dissipated, and the dust settled. Looking up, everyone saw two blurry figures appearing here and there, but it is impossible for them to see their faces or the specific moves they exchanged. All they could see were the cracked ground where the figures appeared, leaving ugly marks like spider webs.

“I didn’t expect that in Konoha, apart from Namikaze Minato, there are other people who can keep up with my normal speed.” Between the extremely fast offensive and defensive, Yondaime Raikage said calmly. His mindset gradually calmed down, but the fighting intent in his heart was not, as the fire of determination within him burned fiercely.

‘You sure are arrogant…’ Kanpū curled his mouth to show his disdain, but he couldn’t refute it, because Yondaime Raikage has not yet used his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, so his speed is indeed hadn't reached its true peak.

However, Kanpū hadn't reached his limit either. He hasn’t activated Sage Mode yet, let alone using Flying Thunder God Technique, so even if Yondaime Raikage went all out, he could still hold his own!

The only problem is that after turning off the Dynamic Vision, he couldn't see the surroundings clearly at such extreme speed. The only thing clear in his eyes was the distinctive bronze face of the Yondaime Raikage, which is kept at the same speed as him.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Amidst the dull sounds of physical collisions, Kanpū and Yondaime Raikage are like two human-shaped wrecking balls, using their bodies as weapons to fiercely attack each other. Punches and kicks landed, legs and feet clashed, and for a moment, they seemed evenly matched.

Kanpū felt a bit annoyed by this. He is using Extraordinary Strength right now, yet he was still evenly matched with the Yondaime Raikage, who hadn't activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. How does it make sense?

‘If only it were Tsunade’s Chakra Enhanced Strength.’

Tsunade’s Chakra Enhanced Strength is truly the strongest in the Shinobi World. Even the Yondaime Raikage with Lightning Release Chakra Mode couldn't match her in pure strength. However, Tsunade is not as good as Yondaime Raikage in terms of speed.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Kanpū said coldly: “Yondaime Raikage-dono, can you listen to me now?”

“No, I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now.” Yondaime Raikage replied, provoked by Kanpū’s words. He didn't want to end the fight with ‘Talk-no-Jutsu’!

“I'm not negotiating with you.”

Kanpū retreated to a hundred meters away with a flicker, and formed hand seal: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

Bang~ bang~ bang~ bang~ bang……

One hundred shadow clones burst out of the smoke, rushing into Yugakure like a tiger pouncing onto the flock of sheep. Everyone wearing Kumogakure’s forehead protector was beaten by one punch!

In just a few seconds, flesh and blood are already drifting near the entrance of Yugakure.

“Stop it!!” Yondaime Raikage’s eyes were about to burst, and amidst his furious roar, there was a resounding pop.

Crackle!

Amidst the thunderous roar, dense blue thunderbolts crawled like earthworms all over the Yondaime Raikage's bronze skin, emanating a brilliant blue light.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Without hesitation, Kanpū tried to collect him, but unsurprisingly, he failed.

In that split second of distraction, Kanpū saw a figure-shaped lightning darting among his shadow clones. Within moments, all of his one hundred shadow clones were destroyed.

“It’s your turn, Gekko Kanpū!!!”

Calling out Kanpū’s name, Yondaime Raikage apparently acknowledged his strength and prepared to deliver a fatal blow!

“Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!!”

With a howl, a brilliant blue lightning suddenly pierced through hundreds of meters of space and descended abruptly in front of Kanpū.

Kanpū quickly deactivated the Extraordinary Strength Talent to light up the Dynamic Vision, barely catching sight of the Yondaime Raikage's chop enveloped in dazzling thunder.

‘I still have time.’

Under Minato's god-level reflexes, Kanpū effortlessly tossed out five or six kunai engraved with his Flying Thunder God Technique’s imprint, while activating Sage Mode at the same time.

‘This is the end, go to hell!’

Yondaime Raikage raised his right hand high, forming a knife with his palm, carrying terrifying thunderous power as he struck down at Kanpū.

Boom!! !

The hand knife drew a blue semicircle in the sky, landing somewhat awkwardly on the ground. The ferocious power poured out, cleaving a massive trench half a meter wide and tens of meters long in the earth!

“What’s going on…”

Yondaime Raikage, who is covered in a cloak of thunder, slowly raised his head in disbelief. His gaze fell ten meters to the left, where Kanpū was standing. A kunai stuck on the ground near him, and his whole figure exudes an otherworldly aura.

“What just happened?”

At the entrance of Yugakure, the surviving Kumogakure’s Shinobi stared blankly at the Yondaime Raikage's back.

“Raikage-sama’s Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop didn’t even hit the other party?”

“Is that Gekkou Nigeru than Raikage-sama?”

“In the Shinobi World, except Yellow Flash, no one can beat Raikage-sama in speed!”

“Could he be the Yellow Flash?”

The group of Kumogakure’s Shinobi panicked .

At the same time, Itachi quietly hid himself. He just wanted to take advantage of Kanpū and Yondaime Raikage’s battle to attack Kumogakure’s Shinobi to affect Yondaime Raikage’s mind, but he didn’t expect the plan is not as fast as the change. Kanpū created one hundred shadow clones to slaughter the Kumogakure’s Shinobi group, and then Yondaime Raikage killed Kanpū’s one hundred shadow clones in less than a second.

Itachi sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking to himself if he had attacked the Kumogakure’s Shinobi earlier…

After Itachi realized the gap between himself and the Shinobi World’s peak battle strength, he decisively chose to survive!
