Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 691: The Abandoned Jiraiya

Chapter 691: The Abandoned Jiraiya

Deep at night.

In Root’s underground headquarters, in the bright office, Danzo sat comfortably on the sofa, squinting his one eye and carefully looking at the information in his hand.

“So that’s how it is!”

Danzo said with a sneer, “Yondaime Mizukage died under Gentle Fist. No wonder Kirigakure will send their people to Konoha.”

‘This is really good!’

Danzo put down the information with a smile, and then picked up a stack of documents next to him.

This is a case report from Konoha Hospital, which records all the patients who were admitted in the past day due to unconsciousness and weak aura. The rough count is at least 80 people!

In other words, each of the ten subordinates who signed a summoning contract with Nue absorbed the negative Chakra of eight people on average.

‘The efficiency is not bad.’

Danzo rubbed the chin, and thought to himself, ‘In a few days, when there are more and more patients, I would get my people to spread rumors in the village, and pushed all the blames to the Kirigakure’s envoys, arousing conflicts between the patient and Kirigakure’s envoys.’

When things got serious, Danzo believed that Minato will not sit idly by, but what can he do?

Favor Kirigakure’s envoys?

Doing that will only make him lose support from the civilians!

At that time, Danzo will cause troubles again, causing a large number of casualties, and will put the blames at Kirigakure. At that time, the resistance from countless villagers and Shinobi will be enough to force Minato to take the blame and resign!

If Minato favors the villagers and resolutely disposes Kirigakure’s envoys, then he will offend Kirigakure. Coupled with the death of Yondaime Mizukage under the Hyuga Clan’s Gentle Fist, it is not impossible for a war to break out!

Once a war breaks out, Minato, who triggered the war, will be Konoha’s sinner!

When the time comes, Danzo will get his people pretend to be Kirigakure’s Shinobi and detonate Nue, causing countless villagers’ deaths and injuries. Can Minato’s conscience survive at that time?

As long as he still has a conscience, he will have no will to continue sitting on Hokage’s position!

Of course, if war does not break out, or Minato solves the incident perfectly, Danzo still has a backup plan.

That's right, it's still Nue and… the Uchiha Clan!

He will use Nue to besiege the higher-ups headed by Minato, create panic, then let Uchiha Clan launch coup-d’état, and then Danzo and Root will come out to clean up the mess, giving themselves great reputation in the village!

Danzo is very scheming and has deep foresight. He’s always does things impeccable, prudent and steady. He’s a sly individual who has more than one plan to fall back on.

‘This time, no matter what happen, I will be in the top position, and no matter what happen, I will realize my ambitions!’

‘As for the innocent villagers who died because of this, it doesn't matter, your sacrifice will not be in vain. I will make Konoha more prosperous, so your sacrifice will be meaningful!’

Danzo was so moved by his own thought. A gleam of sparkle and relief flashed in his eye, and then he laughed happily: “Hahahahaha……”

……

Land of Rain.

Large dark clouds obscure the stars and the moon. There is no light under the black cloud, and you can’t see your own fingers!

“Jiraiya, until when are we going to run?”

In the depths of the jungle, a huge toad is jumping continuously, and every time it jumps, it can jump out of several hundred meters, or even nearly a thousand meters.

“Bunta, it’s really hard for you this time.”

Jiraiya turned his head and looked towards the sky behind him, while using Sensor Ninjutsu, he replied, “I have asked the messenger toad to contact Minato. If it goes well, he will… come in half an hour at most!”

In the sky, a huge bird flapped its wings and swooped down at great speed, carrying a violent air current.

Jiraiya hurriedly bit his thumb and quickly formed hand seals, then slammed his palms onto Gamabunta’s back: “Summoning Technique!”

Bang!

Under the huge light smoke, a big toad that is slightly smaller than Gamabunta suddenly appeared. It jumped high at the next moment, took out a huge ninja sword in mid-air, and slashed at the huge bird, and then shouted: “Finally, it’s my turn to appear, hahahaha…”

Deva Path Pain stared at the big toad expressionlessly, and said coldly:” The foundation of Mount Myoboku… is indeed unfathomable.”

During this chase, he has already severely injured seventeen big toads, but every time he gets close to Jiraiya, he can summon another toad again. He wondered if Mount Myoboku’s toads have no natural enemy?

Deva Path Pain then stretched out his hand: “Shinra Tensei!”

Boom!

The violent repulsive force crushed down like mountains in an instant, and the big toad was pushed down horizontally before it could make a single cut, falling like a meteor.

“It’s not good, it’s not good.”

At this moment, Jiraiya and Gamabunta had ran for several kilometers. Seeing the end of the big toad from the distance, he quickly disbanded Summoning Technique and sent the big toad back to Mount Myoboku safely.

“Flaming Arrow Warhead!”

Asura Path, who was sitting on another huge bird, also launched an attack. Missiles shot out from Asura Path’s arm, flying towards Jiraiya and Gamabunta at a terrifying speed.

“Summoning Technique!”

Jiraiya didn't care and continued to form hand seals to summon the toad of Mount Myoboku.

Bang!

Under the huge light smoke, a scarlet… stomach wall suddenly appeared on Gamabunta’s back.

This is the stomach wall of a great fire-breathing toad in Mount Myoboku named Rock Lodging. Rock Lodgingis a kind of toad that feeds on lava, therefore, the fire and heat resistance of its stomach wall is top-notch, and in the original work, only Amaterasu in can burn it through!

Boom boom boom…

In the next moment, dozens of Asura Path’s missiles have already blasted on Rock Lodging’s stomach wall, and a series of violent roars and soaring flames shot into the sky.

“Bastard!!!”

Although the scorching explosion was blocked by Rock Lodging’s stomach wall, the impact caused by the surging air wave was firmly received by Gamabunta’s body, completely pushed it in the dense forest, causing it slid out for a hundred meters before slowly coming to a stop.

Gamabunta didn't dare to stop, it kicked its feet and jumped forward with all its strength.

The stomach wall dissipated with the smoke, and Jiraiya stood on Gamabunta’s back, squinting in the cold wind and looked at the sky behind him.

‘Those six guys…’

‘One is good at summon, one is good at missile attack, and the other can absorb Chakra. Yahiko’s ability seems to be related to gravity and repulsion. As for the other two, their abilities are still unknown.’

‘But if there’s no accident, each of these guys has only one related ability…’

‘It’s a bit strange.’

Jiraiya saw the huge bird approaching again, and quickly summoned a big toad, and then continued to think: ‘The strangest thing is Yahiko… I taught him so many Ninjutsu, so why didn't he use a single one from the beginning until now?’

‘Did he forget?’

‘Or something else?’

Before in Amegakure, there was heavy rain and Yahiko attracted most of his attention, so Jiraiya didn’t pay too much attention to the rest of the Pain. After escaping from Amegakure, the two sides are very far apart, and there’s large clouds blocking the star and the moon, so Jiraiya’s vision was suppressed to the extreme, and he couldn't see the appearance of the rest of Pain’s appearances, so Jiraiya at this moment really can’t recall the scenes where he had seen the other Pain in various parts of the Shinobi World.

At this moment, a frog’s head suddenly appeared from a pocket hidden in Jiraiya’s clothes and it shouted: “Jiraiya, I have a reply!”

“Okay, I’ll summon Shima-sama, and ask her to summon Minato over.” Jiraiya said and bit his thumb again.

“Wait.”

But the messenger toad hurriedly stopped him with a loud voice, “Minato replied that he can’t come to support you.”

“Wh, what?!”

Jiraiya was surprised and bit fiercely on his thumb, and the blood shot up to his mouth, “Cough cough.”

The messenger toad then said: “Minato said that something important happened in the village, so he couldn't get out of the village, and asked you to leave Land of Rain with the Reverse Summoning Technique.”

Jiraiya showed pitiful expression while licking his thumb, then whispered: “Minato abandoned me…”

“…” The messenger toad.

“Jiraiya, something seems wrong.”

Gamabunta suddenly said, “It’s too quiet behind!”

“Eh?”

Coming back to his sense, Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals to use Sensor Ninjutsu…

The invisible sense tentacles instant spread to the sky behind, but wherever it passed, it didn’t sense anything.

‘Yahiko and the others … give up on the pursuit?’

‘What happened?!’
