CH 114

Half a month ago, the Konoha’s Military Police Force arrested a non-mainstream young man who had made a big commotion in a bathhouse. They originally wanted to throw him directly into the prison for mining, but they didn’t expect this non-mainstream person to have a powerful backing. His father is an important figure in the Land of Fire. After several days of negotiation, the Konoha’s Military Police Force decided to escort this non-mainstream person to the Land of Fire’s capital and hand it over to the Daimyō Mansion to take care of.

Because he is not an important prisoner, and there is a high probability that they will be directly acquitted when he is sent to the Daimyō Mansion, the Konoha’s Military Police Force sent a clansman to symbolically escort him.

This clansman is named Uchiha Fukken, an Elite Genin, 14 this year, and also Shisui’s friend.

Uchiha Fukken is an opinionated person. From Konoha to the Land of Fire, it can’t be said to be too far or too close, and usually, nothing would happen. But this is the time of war after all, and Fukken is worried about being targeted by the enemy’s Shinobi, so when he escorted the prisoner, he disguised himself.

But the accident still happened.

A group of unknowing bandits attacked the two outright.

As an Elite Genin, even if Fukken didn’t use Sharingan, he still easily defeated the bandit group. However, when he eliminated the bandits, he found that the non-mainstream prisoner was missing.

Fukken searched all around, and found no one, so he had no choice to came back.

“He’s back?” Kanpū was surprised, “That old thief Fukken sure has guts.” (T/N: I don’t know what the reference is. Fukken’s name in raw in Fù jiān.)

“Old thief?” Shisui smiled and then explained, “Because negotiation is a high-level affair, big brother Fukken didn’t know the background of this prisoner at the time.”

“And then?” Kanpū ate a crayfish, and was delighted.

“Later, something strange happened.”

Shisui said, “That important figure, Yasui Taro…was blackmailed.”

“Blackmailed?” A thought flashed through Kanpū’s mind, “Could it be that his son disappeared… because he was captured by someone?”

“Yes.”

Shisui then said, “Yasui Taro was blackmailed for a full two ​​​​million ryō get his son back, but what he got back was his demented son.”

‘Two million ryō, this is equivalent to two S-Rank missions, rich people.’

“Is there a commotion?” Kanpū ate the crayfish with relish.

When Shisui looked at Kanpū eating the crayfish, he couldn’t help but pick up a crayfish, which tasted good, and then he continued softly, “The Daimyō wrote to Sandaime-sama, accusing us from Military Police Force, and even vaguely implying that the blackmail incident was something Konoha’s Military Police Force planned it. Although Sandaime-sama did not believe it, it still brought negative impact on our clan.”

“Do you think someone is secretly instigating this?”

A thought flashed through Kanpū’s mind, and the figure of a sinister man instantly appeared in his mind.

‘Is it him?’

“I don’t know, but when big brother Fukken talked to me about this, he mentioned a place that made me more concerned! I want to go to that place to take a look, and maybe I can find some clues.” Shisui looked at Kanpū seriously, “Kanpū, you…”

“Goodbye.”

Kanpū turned around and hooked Iruka’s shoulder, “Iruka, eat more, I’ll treat you today, I don’t want you to eat less~ Anko, it’s you who says you want to eat crayfish, but you are also the one who does not eat crayfish. What are you doing?”

“It’s too spicy!!!”

After eating half a crayfish, Anko couldn’t stand the spicy taste, so she threw it away, “Kanpū, I don’t care, I don’t want to eat spicy!!!”

“How dare you make trouble at my Gekkō Tavern, just you wait!”

Anko didn’t want to take care of Kanpū, so she got up in a hurry and ran to the tavern’s boss, asked him to bring two bowls of red bean paste, and carefully asked if there was any hidden secret between the red bean paste and the crayfish.

After chatting for ten minutes, Kanpū felt that it was almost done. As soon as he turned around, he saw Shisui standing silently behind him.

“What do you want?” Kanpū knew that he couldn’t escape.

“Go to that place and take a look.” Shisui said, “Kanpū, let’s go together!”

Kanpū felt uncomfortable in his whole body. According to his reasoning, twelve out of ten dirty things that happened in Konoha are related to that old thief Danzō, so there is no need to look for any evidence and clues, as it is definitely that old thief Danzō who did it!

So when Shisui said that he wanted to go to the place to investigate, Kanpū was not too happy. Of course he would still be happy if he found no clue, but if he really found any clues, his little arms and legs would not be enough to run away from that old thief Danzō.

“This… we don’t have time.”

There are many things that Kanpū can’t say clearly, so he can only say politely, “The graduation exam will be in two weeks. We should focus on the exam now!”

“Kanpū, just treat it as the experience before the exam, how about it?” Shisui looked serious.

“You really are… Are you not afraid of encountering danger?” Kanpū was helpless.

“Don’t worry, since big brother Fukken can come back safely from there, it means that the people hiding behind do not plan to confront our Uchiha Clan head-on, so there will be no danger!”

Shisui said confidently.

“Even if you say that…”

Kanpū rolled his eyes, ‘According to the plot, Shisui was able to survive until the end of the Third Shinobi World War, which means he will never fall here. In that case…’

“Then I have to lay down my life to accompany the gentleman!”

Kanpū said with awe-inspiring justice!

“I knew you would agree!” Shisui looked at Kanpū with relief.

“Don’t look at me with this kind of eyes, I am still normal!” Kanpū slightly distanced himself.

“Still normal? What do you mean?” Shisui asked curiously.

Kanpū smiled reservedly. He was wondering whether to tell Shisui or not, when suddenly, he saw a few familiar figures pushing open the sliding door and walking in from outside.

‘Minato, Kushina, Kakashi, Obito, Rin?’

‘The kings are teaming up to eat crayfish?!’

Kanpū choked on his breath and his heart thumped wildly.

“What’s wrong?”

Shisui saw that Kanpū was strange, and subconsciously followed his line of sight. “Is that… Kakashi-senpai?”

Among the five people, Shisui recognized Kakashi, who had overwhelmed a generation in the name of genius.

As for Minato, his reputation is not well known yet. Kushina’s identity as Jinchūriki is also kept as secret from the ordinary Shinobi. Rin is just an addition. And as for Obito, although both are from Uchiha Clan, the two are not really familiar with each other.

“Waiter, can we get five servings of crayfish here? I have heard about the deliciousness of crayfish for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to taste it today.”

After Minato placed an order with the waiter, he walked in with his wife and apprentice.

“It’s too early, Minato.” Kushina was a little dissatisfied, “It’s not time for dinner yet.”

“Because the business of this shop is very good, there will be no seats if we went too late.” Minato smiled, and then let everyone to sit on a small square table.

Minato and Kushina sat side by side, Kakashi and Rin sat side by side, and the rest…

“Why am I sitting outside?”

One side of the small square table is against the wall, and only four people can sit on both sides, so the extra Obito can only sit on the side of the corridor.

“Obito, be a little quieter, you’re disturbing the others!” Rin scolded.

“Even so…” Obito looked at Kakashi who was sitting with Rin in dissatisfaction, “Why are you sitting with Kakashi?!”

Kakashi rolled his eyes at him: “Idiot, are you jealous?”

“Baka, you’re just jealous!” (T/N: Again, Baka is in the raw, which also means idiot.)

Obito jumped up from his seat like his butt was on fire, clenched his fists, glared at Kakashi with gnashing teeth, and his is face full of envy and jealousy that could not be concealed, “You~”

When these people were noisy, Kanpū and Shisui had already returned to their seats, but at this time, all of Kanpū’s mind was focused on Minato and Kushina.

‘What should I do, I suddenly ran into a boss. I haven’t used the Collection Technique today, is there a group chat I can ask?’

‘Waiting online, very urgent!’
