章節 227: Chapter 227 The First Smell Of The 'Abyss'

Root.

The demon mask Shinobi is kneeling respectfully in front of Danzō, bowing his head and telling what happened before.

Danzō's eye flashed with brooding look, and then he said: "Gekkō Kanpū's insight is very sharp, he actually able to tell that you are not Anbu in such a short period of time."

"Sir, shall we take action?" The demon mask Shinobi asked.

"No need." Danzō slowly closed his one eye, 'If Gekkō Kanpū has important information, I believe Hiruzen will tell me!'

...

Hokage Tower, inside Hiruzen's office.

Kanpū was standing in front of the desk full of documents, and he could hardly see Hiruzen's head, who was sitting at the desk dealing with big and small matters.

After a while, Hiruzen finally put down the documents in hand, lit up his tobacco pipe, then leaned on the office chair, and took two deep puffs to refresh himself. After that, he looked towards Kanpū, and said:" Welcome back to the village, Kanpū."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

As Kanpū is master of tattletale, he immediately told Sandaime about the fact that the Root Shinobi has falsely passed the Hokage's order to deceive him, and hoped that the great Sandaime could deal with this matter ruthlessly!

Hiruzen sighed, and said: "That is the subordinate of the village's advisor, Shimura Danzō. He sent someone to invite you over, just to ask you some information, there is no malice behind it."

Kanpū's face twitched slightly upon hearing this: 'Would you even believe in your own words?'

'There is no malice?'

'Do you think I'm so stupid that I would believe in crazy lie?'

Kanpū silently cursed in his heart, but his face shows a "relieved" expression.

"Then, Kanpū, it's time to tell me your experience on the Crescent Moon Island." Hiruzen put down his pipe and looked at Kanpū deeply.

Half a month ago, there was no suspense in the battle between Shikaku, Chōza, Inoichi and two Kirigakure's Jōnin, and it ended with Ino–Shika–Cho team's win, and two Kirigakure's Jōnin tried to run away, but they managed to catch one alive. The one caught alive was the Kirigakure's Shinobi who was good at sense and chased after Kanpū before!

After being captured alive, Inoichi immediately used Mind Reading Technique to invade his mind and find out the information about Kanpū.

After that, the Kirigakure's Jōnin became useless. After being sent back to Konoha, his Chakra was sealed and he was arranged to go to Konoha Prison for mining.

However, the information obtained in the mind of the Kirigakure's Jōnin made Ino–Shika–Cho team and Shikuro turn pale with shock.

Yuki Clan's Young Clan Head, Yuki Aoi actually colluded with Gekkō Kanpū. The two cooperated to assassinate five Kirigakure's Chunin. In the end, Yuki Aoi disappeared, and Gekkō Kanpū left a shadow clone on Crescent Moon Island, while his main body disappeared without a trace!

After this incident was reported back, not only did it make Hiruzen and the other Konoha's higher-ups puzzled, but it also caused a huge shock on Kirigakure!

After all, the one who betrayed them is not just an ordinary Yuki Clan's Shinobi, but the Young Clan Head. For this reason, Kirigakure's Kaguya Clan and Hōzuki Clan went to Yuki Clan's Clan Head one after another to asked if his clan intends to betray all of them. If the answer is yes, they should have first just go fight internally, so as not to be stabbed in the back by them at the critical moment.

Because of this, the situation turned better for the Uchiha and Hyūga Clan. There is infighting among the various Shinobi from Great Kekkei Genkai Clan, so their situation is kind of chaotic. If it weren't for Seven Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist to be too active, the Uchiha and Hyūga Clan would have driven Kirigakure's Shinobi back to the coast long ago!

Now that Kanpū has finally returned to the village, Hiruzen of course wanted the clear answer of this matter. He believes the same is true for Danzō!

"A lot of things happened on Crescent Moon Island. I don't know where to start."

Kanpū pretended to be confused.

But in fact, on the way back, Kanpū had already thought of a perfect reason.

"Let's start with why Yuki Aoi cooperated with you to assassinate his companion." Hiruzen said.

Kanpū nodded, and then said mysteriously: "Hokage-sama, there is a very mysterious, terrifying, and powerful organization in the Shinobi World!"

Hiruzen frowned: "What organization?"

"Abyss!"

Kanpū then continued, "Every member of this organization has a powerful Kekkei Genkai!"

"Kekkei Genkai?"

Hiruzen frowned, "Yuki Aoi has Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, could it be that he…"

Kanpū nodded: "Yes, he is a member of this organization called Abyss!"

Hiruzen took a deep breath of his pipe to suppress his shock: "Are you telling the truth?"

No matter what, Hiruzen is the Kage of the strongest Shinobi Village in the Shinobi World. He has a high position and a lot of eyes and ears everywhere, but he has never heard of the organization called Abyss, so doubts are inevitable.

Life is like a play. It depends on acting. Kanpū nodded solemnly, then shook his head again and said: "This is what Yuki Aoi said. I don't know if what he said is true."

Hiruzen felt his head hurts a little, 'The situation in the Shinobi World has already burned me out, and this Abyss actually pops out of nowhere!'

"Kanpū, you still haven't said why Yuki Aoi wanted to cooperate with you." Hiruzen took a deep breath of his pipe, and the question returned to the original point.

"Yuki Aoi invited me to join the Abyss." Kanpū said slyly.

"Eh?"

Hiruzen was startled, 'Didn't you just say that the members of the Abyss all have Kekkei Genkai…'

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered that Shikuro once mentioned Kanpū's invisibility ability to him. Immediately, he was enlightened, feeling clear comprehension of the situation, "You have awakened Transparent Release, and the Abyss has taken a fancy to your Kekkei Genkai!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kanpū was very pleased when he heard this, 'I am very optimistic about you. You are indeed the smartest cub in Konoha.'

"You… agreed?" Hiruzen looked at Kanpū without blinking, "Then you cooperated to assassinate the five Kirigakure's Shinobi?"

Kanpū answered righteously: "Hokage-sama, when I first heard about the Abyss, my reaction was the same as yours. I didn't believe it, but I had no choice. In order to survive, I pretended to agree to him. After I got out, I didn't leave directly, but followed them to Crescent Moon Island, and then contacted Yuki Aoi again. I wanted to test the truth of the Abyss, so I deliberately put him into hard situation and invited him to assassinate those Kirigakure's Shinobi to show the sincerity of the Abyss, but I didn't expect him to agree! After that, you should also know about what happened, Hokage-sama."

Looking at Kanpū's sorrowful expression, Hiruzen couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Of course, it is very simple to make a clear distinction, that is, let the people of the Yamanaka Clan to invade Kanpū's brain.

But as a Kage, he must never do such a thing to the Shinobi from his own village.

Hiruzen frowned and pondered.

'The Abyss?'

'All members have Kekkei Genkai?'

'If someone want to join, they must detach themselves from one clan and one village. If this organization really exists, its members may cover all Shinobi Villages in the entire Shinobi World!'

'The people from the Abyss have come into contact with Gekkō Kanpū, who has Transparent Release. So, what about Uchiha Clan and Hyūga Clan?'

'After a lot time passes on the front lines, have the people of the Abyss contacted them?'

Hiruzen's brows knitted became more and more tightly, and after a while passed, he looked up at Kanpū: "Kanpū, about the Abyss, you must never tell anyone, including your clansmen! Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Kanpū immediately expressed his loyalty, "Even if it's my parents and teachers, I won't reveal a word!"

Hiruzen nodded slightly, and asked again: "By the way, where's your mission log?"

"Fell into the sea." Kanpū said embarrassedly, "I once fought against Yuki Aoi in the sea to protect Michiru, and the quest log fell into the sea during that battle. Hokage-sama, do I have to write a new copy?"

Kanpū didn't lie, as the mission log really fell into the sea. Also, the money in his wallet has been soaked into paste.

"No need, if you lose it, you lose it. Kanpū, if the Abyss contacts you again, you must report it immediately!" Hiruzen said.

"Yes!"

Kanpū nodded.

"You can go." Hiruzen waved.

After Kanpū left, Hiruzen pondered for a while. To be on the safe side, he would first send two Anbu members to follow Kanpū 24 hours a day, whether it's for protection or monitoring. In short, if the Abyss really came into contact with Kanpū, he must know in the shortest possible time.

Kanpū, who left Hokage Tower, was elated in his heart.

Kanpū knew that Sandaime would never dare to do anything me. But with his character, he would definitely send Anbu to follow him.

If this happens then, if Root dared to attack him, the Anbu will be his best shield.

As for whether the Abyss really exists?

Of course it exists, he is the Abyss, the Abyss is him!

It's just that there is only one official member of the abyss at present, that is, Yuki Hyōketsu.

But he believes that in the near future, there will be more and more members of the Abyss Organization!
