“Sir!”

When the two Kirigakure’s Shinobi, who watched the night, saw Aoi walking out, they hurriedly got up and said.

“Sir, did we wake you up?” Asked a short, ugly Kirigakure’s Shinobi.

Kanpū maintained a proud expression, waved his hand and said, “I couldn’t sleep because I was worried about those two guys.”

The short Kirigakure’s Shinobi was a little surprised: “Sir, there are no Shinobi in the Land of the Moon, so Sato and Takayanagi will not meet any accident.”

Kanpū nodded slightly, but was a little surprised in his heart: ‘Isn’t there a Shinobi Village in the Land of the Moon… Is it not established yet?’ (T/N: From what I remember, there are actually no Shinobi Village in the Land of the Moon, and the enemy is just Mercenaries Shinobi, so it can be said that the Author is making this up.)

‘But since there are no Shinobi, why don’t you wait for us to send big brother back to his kingdom before you take action?’

‘What disgusting people!’

Kanpū silently curse in his heart, but his face is as steady as the mountain, and he said with a snort: “Don’t forget that Konoha’s Shinobi!”

“Didn’t you have defeated him, sir?” The thin Kirigakure’s Shinobi on the side asked strangely.

“Although I defeated him, I didn’t kill him! If he followed us into the Crescent Moon Island and waited for an opportunity to assassinate…” Kanpū’s proud face showed a solemn expression.

The two Kirigakure’s Shinobi were infected by his expression, and they were stunned: “Sir, are you worried that Konoha’s Shinobi will assassinate Sato and Takayanagi?”

Kanpū nodded solemnly.

“Sir, what should we do then?” The Kirigakure’s Shinobi asked.

Kanpū glanced at him, and secretly praised him in his heart: ‘That’s a great question!’

Then Kanpū pretended to ponder for a while, and said: “Those two guys may be as ignorant as you, so I have to remind them before the Konoha’s Shinobi attack them!”

“Sir…”

“Don’t worry!”

Kanpū said proudly, “That Konoha’s Shinobi may even not appear, but even if he does, hmph! If I can beat him once, I can just defeat him the second time!”

“Sir, please allow me to go with you!” The thin figure Kirigakure’s Shinobi said.

Kanpū was overjoyed in his heart: ‘Good boy, you brought the wolf to your house!’

Although he is happy in his heart, Kanpū still had to decline: “You only rested until the middle of the night, can you hold on?”

“Sir! I have already rested enough, I definitely won’t hold you back!” The Kirigakure’s Shinobi said with a serious expression.

Kanpū showed a proud look and said arrogantly: “Then you can follow me, if there are any danger, hide behind me!”

Then, Kanpū instructed the short Kirigakure’s Shinobi to stay vigil. After that, he took the other one straight away.

…

When the bright moon is in the sky, Kanpū and the thin Kirigakure’s Shinobi shuttle through the jungle of the Crescent Moon Island, and the moonlight above their heads shone from the lush forest leaves, like a flash of silver dots.

The roar of wild beasts could be heard from time to time, but neither Kanpū and the Kirigakure’s Shinobi bothered to pay attention to these beasts.

As they ran, the two saw a faint light coming from the front. Kanpū slowed down and approached slowly.

“This is…”

When he came closer, Kanpū’s eyelids twitched, as there is a small hillside in front of him. Under the hill, there is a rectangular hole more than two meters high. And the light came from the entrance of the hole.

Kanpū looked around and found that there were many wooden camps built near the hillside, and the snoring and soft breaths from these camps could be vaguely heard.

‘This is… a mine?’

“It’s the gem mine of the Land of the Moon!” The thin Kirigakure’s Shinobi suddenly whispered, and his tone is full of excitement!

‘Gem mine?’

Kanpū’s heart skipped a beat, ‘So that’s how it is, no wonder the Prince of the Land of the Moon can just squander all the money he wanted. His family actually has a gem mine!

Jealousy makes Kanpū completely different. Of course, the Kirigakure’s Shinobi next to him is not much better.

A thought flashed through Kanpū’s mind, and he said in a low voice: “Let’s go there and see!”

“Yes, Sir!” The Kirigakure’s Shinobi was overjoyed. After all, if he went in and get some gems out, he could retire directly and live the life of a local tyrant!

The two quietly sneaked into the camp. Although there were people watching the night here, they couldn’t find Kanpū at all.

Then, the two searched separately. And not long after, Kanpū found more than a dozen iron boxes locked with iron locks in a room!

The iron box is not big, only the size of a human head. Kanpū picked it up and shook it a few times. There was a heavy but fine friction and crash sound inside. It was obvious that the iron box was full of gems.

Looking at more than a dozen iron boxes on the ground, Kanpū’s heart was beating like a drum, but he soon woke up and silently put the iron box in his hands into the sealing scroll. Then, Kanpū wanted to use Transparent Release, but unfortunately, he can only use one Kekkei Genkai at a time!

So Kanpū put away the Ice Release first, and then activated the Transparent Release.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Kanpū creates a shadow clone, and then makes him invisible. Then, Kanpū puts the Transparent Release away and lights up the Ice Release.

He turned his head and saw that the shadow clone was still invisible.

Kanpū smiled slightly: ‘In this way, I can use the hidden clone and perform various Kekkei Genkai at the same time!’

A few minutes later, the Kirigakure’s Shinobi also found this place and saw his Lord standing there blankly.

“Sir?” That Kirigakure’s Shinobi walked up in doubts, and saw a dozen locked iron boxes on the ground. A thought flashed through Kirigakure’s Shinobi’s mind, and he squatted down to check. After confirming that the iron box was full of gems, he was shaking with excitement immediately, and then turned around and said, “Sir, these…”

“Shhh, keep your voice down, don’t wake the people outside!”

Kanpū hurriedly reached out and blocked his mouth.

The Kirigakure’s Shinobi was stunned for a moment, but did not dodge. At the next moment, the Kirigakure’s Shinobi felt a cold feeling in his vest, and a sharp pain spread crazily from his spine.

He opened his mouth and wanted to scream in pain, but his mouth was blocked by his Lord, so he could only muffle: “Mmm…um…um…”

Looking at Kirigakure’s Shinobi with a pair of bloodshot eyes, Kanpū replied: “Mmm…um um…um hmm…”

In theend, the desperate Kirigakure’s Shinobi closed his eyes

“Good job!” Kanpū’s shadow clone’s figure appeared, and his eyes flickered, “Next, it’s Sato and Takayanagi!”

“That sentence should be my line.”

Kanpū’s lips twitched, and he dispersed the shadow clone. He then put this Kirigakure’s Shinobi corpse into the sealing scroll.

As for the iron boxes on the ground, Kanpū used great perseverance… to take one along, and then continue on his way.

…

Half an hour before dawn, Kanpū finally found the Land of the Moon’s Kingdom. This kingdom is actually a very big town. It prospered because of gem mine. However, although it has accumulated huge wealth, its defense strength is average.

After Kanpū entered the town, according to the degree of extravagance and simplicity of the building, it was easy to find the ‘Royal Palace’ of the Land of the Moon!

At this time, it was not dawn yet, but the palace was already bustling like a vegetable market.

‘It seems that Sato and Takayanagi have already been to the palace!’

‘Where are they now?’

Kanpū rubbed the chin and thought, then change his perpective.

‘If I am Sato and Takayanagi, after announcing the kidnapping information, I would go back to meet with my accomplices, but they didn’t do that. Could it be…’

‘They’re sleeping?’

‘That’s possible. These Kirigakure’s Shinobi used Water Release to speed up the ship in turn under the order of their ‘Lord’ from two days ago, so that the six Kirigakure’s Shinobi were all exhausted. After arriving at Crescent Moon Island, that Sato and Takayanagi came to the King’s Palace to send the kidnapping tokens immediately, and they must be even more exhausted!’

‘So, the two of them must be resting right now.’

‘And, they must be in this town!’

‘There is no Shinobi in the Land of the Moon. With their skills as Chunin, they are like big wolves entering a sheep village. There will be no psychological pressure at all!’

After thinking about it for a while, Kanpū formed hand seal to create two shadow clones one after another, and then the three people moved in three directions, while using Sensor Ninjutsu to search for the two Kirigakure’s Shinobi.

When the sky became brighter, people gradually appeared in the streets of the Land of the Moon, and various shops are also open for business. Kanpū and his two shadow clones are still searching for the Kirigakure’s Shinobi.

At a little past seven o’clock, one of Kanpū’s shadow clone finally sensed two human figures sleeping together!

‘Found them!’

The shadow clone immediately dispersed himself, and in the next instant, Kanpū and the other shadow clone turned around and rushed there.
