Kapitel 272: Chapter 272 Merits And Hatred

By the third day, the peaceful study time is gone forever.

Kosuke's special mobile unit left Konoha's main camp after receiving their mission. At the same time, Orochimaru reorganized the various combat teams. First, the third assassination team and the second assassination team are disbanded, and the Shinobi from the two assassination teams and other Shinobi, who are good at close combat, regroup to form a frontal combat unit: The close combat unit.

Next, Orochimaru mixed the five Ninjutsu combat units, including Fire Release Special Forces and Water Release Special Forces, into three long-range combat units.

As for the medical logistics support and other troops, there's no change.

Kanpū speculated from Orochimaru's actions that the war between Konoha and Sunagakure's Shinobi has entered the final stage.

In his memory, the Battle of Kikyō Pass broke out in Konoha's Year 46, which is this year!

However, the views of the people around him are not consistent.

"It is impossible for a big battle to happen so soon."

"There are still many civilians from our country on Kikyō Pass. Launching a decisive battle now means giving up these civilians."

"Hokage-sama and Daimyō-sama would never agree."

Including Arashiyama, Tabako, as well as some newly-acquainted comrades in the close combat unit, all hold this view.

It's just that…

If the Commander-in-Chief is changed to another person, they may care about the Land of Fire's civilian on Kikyō Pass, but, will Orochimaru care?

Kanpū's opinion of Orochimaru is very bad, and he felt that Orochimaru would not care.

For the next week, Kanpū's close combat unit was pulled out from time to time to fight Sunagakure's Shinobi's Puppet Brigade.

In close combat, people from different side are standing closely, so Kanpū's Ninjutsu is directly sealed by his companions. But with extraordinary strength, dynamic vision, and Hardening Technique, Kanpū can be said to be undefeatable in close combat. The puppet's poisoned kunai, shuriken, and senbon cannot cut through his hardened skin, and the casual blow of his Moonlight Sword is not something that a puppet can resist!

In several battles, Kanpū alone has destroyed nearly 100 puppets!

Without puppets, Puppet Brigade would be nothing. Kanpū destroyed nearly 100 puppets by himself, which give him a lot of merits at that time.

But the Puppet Brigade is not stupid. It is impossible to let Kanpū destroy them. They quickly found Kanpū's weak spot, which is Hardening Technique!

Hardening Technique is indeed powerful, as it can harden the skin to rock-hard, making the user impervious to sharp weapon, but it also has a huge flaw, that is, it can only resist physical attacks!

So, Puppet Brigade wildly stuffed Explosive Tags into their puppets' bodies. Before Kanpū got close, they would throw Explosive Tags crazily, and the rumbling explosion directly forced Kanpū to retreat.

Kanpū avoided these puppets to find other puppets, but unfortunately, every puppet is stuffed with Explosive Tags, and the Explosives Tag would greet him as soon as he gets closer.

Kanpū was furious and directly used Anbu's Body Flicker Technique. Flashing to the side of a puppet, and severed it in two with a slash!

Boom!

Then, the puppet exploded directly!

Kanpū hurriedly used Body Flicker Technique to avoid the aftermath of the explosion, but as soon as he stopped, he found himself surrounded by seven or eight puppets.

Before Kanpū could say a few ruthless words, these puppets already exploded.

The huge black and red fireworks turned into a mushroom cloud and rose slowly, and the aftermath of the violent explosion turned into a surging air wave, scraping off a layer of the ground!

Kanpū hides in the ground with lingering fears in his heart.

If he hadn't collected enough Ninjutsu, he might have really dead in that explosion just now.

Using Subterranean Voyage, Kanpū quietly drilled out of the ground.

"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary Shinobi, but in what I got in return was conspiracy and trickery. Well, I won't pretend anymore, I am a Kekkei Genkai Shinobi, and I'll show off now."

Kanpū lights up the Transparent Release, and his figure disappears in the chaotic and noisy battlefield in an instant!

A puppet is a non-living thing, and a Shinobi must control it from behind to fight, so behind every puppet, there is a Puppet Master!

Behind a huge rock, two Puppet Master lay silently on their stomachs. Only their ten fingers are moving rhythmically. If there is Byakugan, you can see the Chakra threads on their fingertips. With these Chakra threads, they can control the puppet to fight.

The battlefield was filled with the sound of metal clashing, howls, and Explosive Tags' explosions. The chaotic battlefield gave Kanpū the best cover. He stepped on small broken steps and came to their side, and immediately afterwards, he directly drew out his Moonlight Sword, and cut off their ten fingers with a clean slash!

'Feel the pain, a**hole!'

"Argh!"

"My fingers?!"

As the nerves of their ten fingers are linked with their hearts, the two Puppet Master were in unbearable pain, panic and anger, but when they turned their heads and looked around, they couldn't see anything!

Kanpū, who is next to them, showed a strange smile.

Through Transparent Release's stealth ability is very strong, but it also has flaws, that is, once Chakra is mobilized to use Ninjutsu, he will come out of the invisible state, but if Kanpū is not using his Chakra, he can continue to be invisible and kill the people in the noisy battlefield. It is a very affordable skill.

However!

The two Sunagakure's Shinobis finally found Kanpū, or to be precise, the blood-stained Moonlight Sword in Kanpū's hands!

Although losing their ten fingers almost made them lose all of their combat power, the two Sunagakure's Shinobi are both heroes. When they saw the blood-stained blade, they immediately rushed forward and Kanpū subconsciously swung his sword.

The two Sunagakure's Shinobi died on the spot, but the Moonlight Sword in Kanpū's hand was also covered in blood. Even if others couldn't see Kanpū's body, they could still lock his position through the dazzling blood on the sword.

Sure enough, more than a dozen Puppet Master nearby immediately pulled back their more than a dozen puppets through the Chakra Threads, and quickly moved it towards Kanpū.

When Kanpū saw what they are doing, he guessed it was another black mushroom. Because of that, he immediately put away the Moonlight Sword, and then formed the hand seals to use Subterranean Voyage.

At the instant when Kanpū's figure was exposed, more than a dozen puppets exploded suddenly, and a terrifying air wave suddenly descended with a scorching hot flame.

At the critical moment, Kanpū's hand seals were completed, and he went into the ground with a swish like a gopher to escape the disaster.

Feeling the violent vibration of the ground, Kanpū, who had experience, decisively abandoned the Moonlight Sword, and then switched to kunai, shuriken and other weapons that could be discarded at will.

Drilling out of the ground, Kanpū once again stealthily approached the two Sunagakure's Shinobi. He quietly took out two kunai, and pierced them into their hearts. After stabbing, Kanpū didn't care whether they were alive or not, and immediately ran away.

Then, he continued to find the next target.

In just five minutes, Kanpū has used ten kunai and three shuriken!

As Kanpū ravaged their side, the Puppet Brigade's Shinobi were about to collapse. Seeing that their friends were killed by the invisible Konoha's Shinobi in a very sinister and shameless way, their psychological defense line showed a sign of collapsing.

After a while, Sunagakure's Puppet Brigade retreated under the cover of each other. Before leaving, they used their puppets to bring their companions' corpses. Kanpū did not stop them, as they knew that the other side was baiting him. As long as he appeared, these ouppets would definitely explode!

After several battles, the higher the merits Kanpū obtained, the more hatred value of Sunagakure's Shinobi he gained!

Kikyō Pass, Sunagakure's main camp.

Chiyo and Ebizō looked at the information handed in by the Puppet Brigade, and after a little discussion, they decided to throw a 'nuclear bomb' and send this sinister Konoha's Shinobi to meet the god of Shinobi World!
