Chapter 674: Mei’s Question
The corpse of Yagura completely detonated the emotions of all Kirigakure’s Shinobi present, and more than 500 Kirigakure’s Shinobi roared and rushed towards ‘Hyuga Hizashi’ with red eyes.
‘Hyuga Hizashi’ sneered, and advanced instead of retreating. A set of Gentle Fist Art -Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms was released by him like water, but this time, he couldn’t even reach eighteen palms before he was hit by the crazy Kirigakure’s Shinobi, then turned into smoke and dissipated in an instant.
“Shadow clone?”
“I understand, I understand!”
“The murderer of the Gentle Fist attack before is Hyuga Clan’s shadow clone!”
“They disbanded on the spot after the attack. No wonder we couldn’t find any trace of their retreat!”
“What a sinister Konoha’s Shinobi!”
Kirigakure’s Shinobis are furious, and they breathe out ‘beautiful words’ to show their respect to Konoha!
“It’s bad! Something big has happened!”
A Kirigakure’s Shinobi who ran out to collect Yagura’s body suddenly screamed, “The Biju inside Mizukage-sama’s body is gone!”
“What?”
“Damn it, it must have been captured by Hyuga Clan’s Shinobi!”
“Hurry up and chase after him!”
“Wait a minute! I remember there is a Konoha’s Shinobi in the village!”
“That’s right, send someone to arrest him immediately!”
The group of Kirigakure’s Shinobi yelled and distributed tasks to each other. The large unit is responsible for tracking, and the small unit transported Yagura’s body back to the village and captures the Konoha’s Shinobi, Gekko Kanpū!
In less than a minute, the loud canyon fell into silence once again, leaving only Mei and Ao, who fell into daze.
“Mei, what are you thinking about?”
Ao walked to her side with a solemn expression, “At this point, the matter between you and that Konoha’s Shinobi must end here! Because you are the Shinobi of Kirigakure!”
“I know, you don’t need to say more!” Mei turned around blankly, then turned into an afterimage and disappeared instantly.
“Where are you going?” Ao quickly chased after her.
“It has nothing to do with you, don’t follow me!” Mei is in a very irritable mood at this moment.
‘I thought I met a good man, but I was deceived!’
‘Bastard!’
‘I must make him pay!’
Mei is filled with rage!
……
When all Kirigakure’s Shinobi left, a dark figure suddenly walked out of the dark corner. Under the dim moonlight, the person had a soft black beautiful hair and skin as white as snow, which is none other than Orochimaru who left before!
“hehehe, Hyuga Taki, you really have a problem!”
Orochimaru’s eyes flashed coldly.
Although he is not certain that Byakugan can see through Kanpū’s Transparent Release, when Kanpū used Transparent Release to approach quietly, it was Taki who deliberately caused a quarrel with Manda, thus attracting a lot of Orochimaru's attention and preventing him from noticing Kanpū in time.
Of course, this alone cannot be used to determine that Taki has a problem.
Therefore, when Orochimaru left before, he specially ordered Taki to tell the Kirigakure’s Shinobi that the Biju inside Yagura’s body was taken away by Kanpū when he came into contact with Kirigakure’s Shinobi.
But just now, Taki didn't mention this matter at all, so that all Kirigakure’s Shinobi thought that Sanbi was taken away by Hyuga Clan’s Shinobi. Although Hyuga Clan and Kanpū are both Konoha’s Shinobi, but Kirigakure’s Shinobi, who admitted the wrong ‘killer’, would only focus most of their energy on hunting down the ‘unnecessary’ Hyuga Clan. If this happens then, Kanpū can take the opportunity to run out of the Land of Water!
The more Orochimaru thought about it, the angrier he became. He thought that he had everything under control, but unfortunately in the end, he was just making wedding dress for others! (T/N: Making wedding dress for others means doing something that ends up benefiting others.)
Moreover, after he was done, he almost helped the others count the money!
‘Unforgivable!’
There seemed to be a well of anger rising on Orochimaru's forehead, and it took quite a while before he could calm down.
‘Taki covered Gekko Kanpū, indicating that there must be some kind of ulterior connection between the two!’
Orochimaru’s golden vertical pupils flashed in thought, and after a while, a flash of light flashed in his mind: ‘Abyss, it’s the Abyss!’
‘Gekko Kanpū owns Kekkei Genkai. Although it is just Transparent Release, but no matter how weak it is, it is still Kekkei Genkai!
‘And Abyss is a mysterious organization that only Kekkei Genkai Shinobi can join!’
“I really didn't expect you to be from the Abyss!”
Orochimaru showed a playful smile, “I wonder if Yondaime Hokage knows this information? Hehehe…”
……
In Kirigakure.
When Mei rushed back, the small courtyard where Kanpū lived was already surrounded by a large number of Kirigakure’s Shinobi!
“Gekko Kanpū, you are already surrounded, get out!”
“You bastard actually killed our Mizukage-sama. Unforgivable!!!”
“Do you think it's safe to hide inside now?”
Kirigakure’s Shinobi shouted around the courtyard while evacuating the surrounding people.
Mei stepped forward and said with a sullen face: “I’ll go in and have a look.”
Before the others could react, she had turned into an afterimage and jumped into the small courtyard.
At this time, Kanpū’s shadow clone sat cross-legged on the tatami, waiting quietly for something.
Soon, the sliding door of the bedroom was pushed open. When the lights turned on, Mei walked in in a charming manner.
Kanpū’s shadow clone opened his eyes. Looking at the great beauty in front of him, he couldn’t help but felt in awe!
“Please help yourself.” Kanpū’s shadow clone pointed to in front of him.
Mei is not someone with stage fright. She sits generously in front in front of Kanpū, her legs are placed casually, revealing the black fishnet, which looks breathtaking!
Kanpū’s shadow clone controls his vision with great perseverance, and looked at Mei’s eyes calmly.
“I have something to ask you!”
Mei said straight to the point, “You…”
“I!” Kanpū’s shadow clone said earnestly.
“Huh?”
“Will save you!”
“What?”
“And keep you save!”
“…”
Mei has a black line on her forehead. She feels she has been tricked, and said with clenched teeth, “Stop playing with me! Gekko Kanpū, the reason you came to Kirigakure is actually forSanbi!”
“No, it’s to deliver the letter.”
Kanpū’s shadow clone said seriously, “Sanbi was captured by Akatsuki! The letter written by Hokage-sama to Yondaime Mizukage should still be in the Mizukage building. As long as you find it, you will know the truth!”
“Akatsuki?”
Mei calmed down slightly and looked at him in confusion.
Kanpū’s shadow clone is not surprised by Mei’s reaction. When his main body met Yagura, apart from Kanpū, there’s only Kirigakure’s Anbu with Byakugan standing beside Yagura.
And for such important information, Yagura naturally has to keep it secret, so not to mention Mei, even Elder Genki does not know about Akatsuki.
Kanpū’s shadow clone immediately told Mei the basic information about Akatsuki.
“What you said is just Konoha's one-sided story!”
After Mei pondered for a while, she still didn’t believe it, “Even that letter may just be a bait! Unless you can come up with definite evidence, I can only regard all this as a conspiracy by Konoha! And Mizukage-sama died under Gentle Fist, and there is also Hyuga Hizashi’s shadow clone at the scene!”
“After being deprived of Biju, Jinchuriki will undoubtedly die. Even without Gentle Fist, Yondaime Mizukage will still die. In my opinion, this unnecessary method is used to frame us Konoha.” Kanpū said.
Mei was startled, ‘What he said is so reasonable that I can’t refute it!’
Kanpū continued: “As for Hyuga Hizashi’s shadow clone, don’t be na?ve. You should know the strength of Yondaime Mizukage the best. How can a mere shadow clone intervene in his battle? Besides, if shadow clone uses Transformation Technique, doesn’t it can change into anyone?”
Mei is speechless again.
“The information about the Akatsuki organization was collected by Konoha with great efforts. For your sake, let me reveal a little bit more!”
Kanpū’s shadow clone said in a fake tone, “Akatsuki is a Missing-nin organization and only recruits S-Rank Missing-nin from the Shinobi World, do you understand this?”
“S-Rank Missing-nin?”
Mei’s pupils suddenly shrank, “Orochimaru?!” Orochimaru is Konoha’s S-Rank Missing-nin, and more coincidentally, she accompanied Kanpū some time ago to search for the traces of Orochimaru everywhere in Kirigakure!
‘Could it be him?’
‘However, the information about Orochimaru’s appearance in Kirigakure is still a one-sided story from Kanpū and his group. No one from Kirigakure has ever seen Orochimaru!’
‘So what is the truth?’
Mei’s head was in a mess, feeling that her brain cells are not enough for this.
“I believe Orochimaru must be the one who killed Yondaime Mizukage!”
Kanpū’s shadow clone narrowed his eyes and said, “If you search at the scene of the battle, you should be able to find traces of his presence.”
Mei remained silent, and after a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps from outside the bedroom.
Kirigakure’s Shinobi have successfully evacuated the civilians and are ready to take action against Kanpū!
“Regardless of the truth, I have to ask you to stay here for the time being.” Mei said sternly.
“No, I’m leaving now.” Kanpū’s shadow clone shook his head.
“This is Kirigakure, not Konoha!” Mei said in a harsh tone, but with a hint of kind warning mixed.
“As far as I’m concerned, it doesn't matter where I am. As long as I want to leave, no one can stop me!” Kanpū’s shadow clone smiled, showing great confidence.
‘So confident?’
Mei is shocked in her heart.
Bang~ bang~ bang~…
At this moment, the sliding door of the bedroom exploded like fireworks, and more than dozen black afterimages suddenly rushed from outside.
Mei’s face tightened and she was about to speak, when suddenly, she saw Kanpū on the opposite side showed a strange smile, and then…
Bang!
‘Disappeared?’
‘It’s just shadow clone?!’
