Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 831: Anbu Commander's Shock

Among these 30 billion Explosive Tags, 5 billion belonged to Kanpū himself, while the remaining 25 billion and all the subsequent Explosive Tags belonged to the village.

Kanpū created thirty shadow clones and sent them into the water, confirming that there were half more wooden boxes than last time before starting the work. He had the shadow clones roughly separate the wooden boxes containing 5 billion Explosive Tags and then had them move these wooden boxes back to the underground base under the Land-of-Iron’s frozen soil.

As for the remaining wooden boxes, Kanpū’s shadow clones are adamant about not dealing with them.

After sending his ‘express delivery’, Kanpū shadow clone to watch the lake and went back to the village to inform Minato.

…

Hokage Residence.

In Hokage’s Office, Namikaze Minato is dealing with official duties as seriously as usual, just like an NPC. Whenever one finds him, he is always busy dealing with the official duties.

Kanpū is also speechless about this.

‘What fun is there to live your life like this?’

After coming inside, Kanpū respectfully saluted, thinking to himself: ‘Being a Hokage is really cool, everyone has to bow and greet when meeting them.’

“Kanpū, what’s the matter?” Minato asked casually while reading the documents.

“It's like this, that… The Explosive Tags have arrived.” Kanpū said.

“What Explosive Tags?” After more than a year and dealing with a large number of official duties every day, Minato didn’t understand for a while.

“That one, that Explosive Tags.” Kanpū winked.

‘What do you mean by ‘that’…?’ Minato looked up at Kanpū, and his puzzled pupils gradually widened: “Is it… that Explosive Tag?”

‘The one hundred billion of Explosive Tags you extorted one from Akatsuki?!’

Kanpū desperately nodded: “That Explosive Tag.”

Minato is delighted: “One hundred billion?”

‘One hundred billion?’

‘Hehe, last time it was clearly agreed upon that I will only hand over 75 billion…’ Kanpū then said: “Konan also has her difficulties, so this time, she only sent 25 billion.”

Minato is so overjoyed. Even if it is ‘only’ 25 billion Explosive Tags, it is still a huge sum of money!

Minato immediately called Anbu Commander, Eagle and asked him to personally send people to follow Kanpū to receive the Explosive Tags.

Eagle looked confused upon hearing this, ‘How many Explosive Tags are there that Hokage-sama needed to involve me and send people over? Isn't this making a big deal out of nothing?’

However, at present, Hokage is the one in power and he couldn’t question his order, so he immediately mobilized two teams to go with Kanpū.

Kanpū didn't remind them and took them to the lake.

“Where are the Explosive Tags?” Eagle looked around, not seeing any Explosive Tags.

“At the bottom of the lake.” After disbanding his shadow clone, Kanpū pointed to the lake.

“Go check how many Explosive Tags there are.” Eagle waved his hand, and two Anbu immediately jumped into the lake.

Blub blub blub blub…

Bubbles emerged from the bottom of the lake, then slowly moved from one side of the lake to the other, but even after a while, the two people didn't come up.

Eagle realized that something was wrong and immediately jumped into the lake.

The lake is not deep, it is only about five or six meters, but the bottom of the lake is filled with one meter square wooden boxes, densely packed and neatly stacked, and at first glance, it forms a continuous mountain range on the bottom of the lake.

‘Are all these wooden boxes… filled with Explosive Tags?’

‘Are you kidding me?!’

Eagle wanted to inhale some air, but forgot that he’s underwater, so he almost choked on the water, and quickly emerged from the lake.

As for the two Anbu who had previously gone underwater, they are now desperately counting the wooden boxes at the bottom of the lake. Unfortunately, they couldn't count them all in one go, so they have no choice but to emerge from the lake mouth and gasp for breath, then said at the same time: “Co-Commander, there are too many boxes at the bottom of the lake, we can’t count them all.”

Eagle's heart rate slowly accelerated, but he calmly ordered: “Bring up one of the wooden boxes first!”

“Yes!”

The two Anbu quickly dived into the bottom of the lake again, and then worked together to bring up a wooden box.

Boom!

The wooden box weighed more than a ton. However, the two Anbu are neither good at Taijutsu nor have super strength. In addition, they had used up a lot of energy from diving before. As a result, they were completely exhausted when they finally brought a wooden box to the shore. The wooden box was smashed on the shore and shattered, scattering a large number of Explosive Tags spilled out of the oil paper all over the ground.

All the Anbu looked at the Explosive Tags on the ground, looking at each other in shock.

‘There must be at least one million Explosive Tags in this box!’

‘And those people who just dived into the water said, there were so many wooden boxes at the bottom of the lake that they couldn't count them all?’

Eagle also came ashore at this time. Looking at the Explosive Tags on the ground, his face under the eagle mask was full of solemnity.

“Kanpū, are all the boxes under the lake filled with Explosive Tags?” Eagle turned to look at Kanpū.

Kanpū nodded easily: “Yes.”

Eagle was speechless for a moment.

‘There are about one million Explosive Tags in a wooden box, and there might be tens of thousands of boxes at the bottom of the lake.’

‘How many Explosive Tags is that?’

Eagle tried to calculate, but realized that his elementary school math couldn't support so many zeroes!

Of course, the most important thing is that there are so many wooden boxes, so many Explosive Tags, but only two teams he brought. With such condition, let alone carrying them, he feels that they are understaffed just by guarding them!

“Kanpū, why didn’t you say it earlier?” Eagle looked at Kanpū tiredly, but his eyes were full of fieriness, as if saying ‘With such a large number of Explosive Tags, let alone seeing you, I don’t even mind to kiss you!’

Faced with Eagle’s fiery eyes, Kanpū lowered his head immediately: ‘If I had said it earlier, I’m afraid you would go crazy.’
