Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

After effortlessly blocking the Super Revival Fist, powered with Eight Gates, with a single Truth-Seeking Ball, Kanpū, draped in a coat of arrogant green chakra, floated up slowly, looking down on Shinno like a deity.

“You dare to provoke me with just this?”

Kanpū looked at Shinnō incredulously, “Who gave you the courage?”

Faced with Kanpū's provocation, Shinno’s face turned green and purple. He couldn't understand why the most powerful Forbidden Technique he had developed over half his life could be so easily countered by Kanpū.

‘I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!’

‘It must be an illusion!!’

“Aaaahhh…”

With a roar, Shinno squatted on his feet, his legs in a horse stance, and forcefully punched out: “Super Revival Fist!”

Boom!!

Kanpū didn't dodge or evade, not even moving his fingers. With just a thought, the Truth-Seeking Ball floating behind him drew a graceful arc and appeared in front of him, it turned into a black screen to block the turbulent beam of particles.

“I don’t believe it!”

Boom!

Shinno punched again.

“I don’t believe it!”

Boom!

The third punch was released.

“Damn it!!”

Boom!

The fourth punch came out!

One after another human head-sized particle beams bombarded the black screen relentlessly, bursting out dazzling light, but no matter how hard Shinnō tried, he couldn't break through the Truth-Seeking Ball, not even push it back!

It was like flashy waves crashing against a rock, seemingly unstoppable, yet returning empty-handed time and time again in front of the rocky shore.

After more than thirty punches in a few seconds, Shinno was somewhat exhausted. He panted heavily, and looked at that black screen with horror and despair: “What is this?”

“Guess.”

Kanpū smiled faintly, rolling up the black screen, instantly turning it back into Truth-Seeking Ball, which immediately floated behind his green Chakra cloak. Then, he said with a smile, “Hurry up if you have any other tricks, or you won't have a chance.”

‘Bastard!’

Shinno stared at Kanpū with a mix of shock and anger. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Orochimaru had said when he caught Hayate before.

‘Are you planning to use him to lure out Gekko Kanpū?’

‘You will die miserably.’

‘It turns out that Orochimaru had already expected everything!’

‘I should have listened to him!’

‘Damn it!!’

Shinno raised his head, staring fiercely at Kanpū, feeling an overwhelming sense of unwillingness surge up inside him!

‘Gekko Kanpū obviously relied on my Body Revival Technique to rise to prominence. Why can he surpass me?’

‘I am not convinced!’

‘I am not willing!’

‘I haven't avenged my great hatred. How can I just accept this fate?’

‘I, I can still struggle a bit more!’

From the corner of his eye, he saw Hayate, who was tied to a tree trunk across from him.

Shinno had an idea, and deliberately trembled and asked: “Gekko Kanpū, please tell me what this black sphere is, please!”

He’s trembling and showing a fearful, terrified, and desperate expression, trying to lower Kanpū's vigilance, but secretly, he was quietly accumulating his strength, preparing to slip through Kanpū's crotch.

‘As long as I grab that Gekko Hayate, I will have a glimmer of survival! Even if I can’t escape death in the end, I will make Gekko Kanpū suffer!!’

‘Let me show you how cunning I could be!’

Shinno felt a trace of relief for devising such a plan in just a few seconds.

“Since you asked so sincerely, I'll generously tell you! This thing is called the Truth-Seeking Ball, it is Ninjutsu that can only be mastered through the most rigorous training!”

Facing Shinno's confusion, Kanpū said seriously, “do 10 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, 10 squats, and run 1 kilometer every day! And with such arduous training, I persisted intermittently for three years!! That's how I successfully mastered the Truth-Seeking Ball!”

Shinno fell silent after hearing this.

‘You can obtain that Truth-Seeking Ball with such a simple exercise?’

‘And it took three years of intermittent persistence?’

Shinno is not stupid. After realizing this, he became furious, ‘Bastard, how dare you insult me like this!’

‘I will make you pay!!’

Boom!

Shinno stomped on the ground, his whole body like a bullet, creating visible ring-shaped shockwaves in the air, and appeared in front of Hayate like teleporting.

‘I've got you now!’

Shinno reached out to grab Hayate’s neck.

But at this moment, a small black sphere suddenly fell from the sky, landing right on Shinno’s claw.

‘Truth-Seeking Ball?’

‘Should I dodge it?’

Shinno hesitated for a moment, then decided not to dodge, ‘If the Truth-Seeking Ball explodes, then Gekko Hayate will also die. If it doesn’t explode, then I must catch Gekko Hayate ahead of time even with the risk of injury!’

Shinno prepared himself for a heavy blow, but he never expected that the moment his hand touched the Truth-Seeking Ball……

Whoosh…

His palm, like paper burned by fire, disintegrated into ashes and was blown away by the gentle breeze.

Shinno stared at the scene with dumbfounded expression, and was momentarily stunned. Due to inertia, he surged forward another half meter. In this half meter, his palm, his wrist, his forearm, his right arm shoulder, all turned into ashes and dissipated in the air at the touch of the Truth-Seeking Ball!

Seeing his chest about to touch the Truth-Seeking Ball, Shinno finally reacted in horror. With a desperate kick on the ground, he created a spider-web-like pit and quickly retreated using the reaction force.

“What the hell is that thing!!”

Shinno stared at the Truth-Seeking Ball floating in front of Hayate in horror. As for his bare right arm, in a muscle movement, he quickly grew out a brand new arm!

Kanpū raised an eyebrow at this, ‘Flesh regeneration?’

‘In the Shinobi World, it seems that only Tsunade have this technique…’

‘Wait a minute, there seems to be someone else…’

Kanpū blinked a few times, finally remembering this guy's identity.

‘So it's you, brat!’

“Shinno!!!” Kanpū descended slowly, standing between Shinno and Hayate, his blue pupils staring at him playfully, and he lightly said with a smile, “I didn’t expect it to be you. Hmph, after so many years, you still dare to come find me?”

“Why wouldn't I dare to come find you?! Clearly, it was you who stole my Forbidden Technique scroll back then, it's you who owes me! Why shouldn't I come to settle the score with you!!” Shinno roared hoarsely, his expression terrifyingly ferocious.

Kanpū was taken aback, and after thinking carefully, it seemed to be the case.

But he doesn’t care: “You reap what you sow, what do you want with me!”

As he spoke, Kanpū waved his hand and released eight more Truth-Seeking Balls.

Shinno’s ferocious face suddenly stiffened, then turned into despair, ‘So many Truth-Seeking Balls…’

‘You bastard!!’

“Shinno, just put your hands on…”

‘No, he can't be captured alive. If he reveals what happened back then, what will happen to my reputation?’

Kanpū changed the subject: “Prepare to meet your end!”

Kanpū waved his hand, and the eight Truth-Seeking Balls whirled and flew towards Shinno.

Truth-Seeking Ball contained the power of all things in the universe. Unless one mastered the Six Paths, anyone who touched them would turn to dust!

‘As for Shinno who has mastered the Body Revival Technique’s regeneration?’

‘In the face of the Truth-Seeking Ball, everything is ants!’

‘Oh dear, I went too far.’

‘Comparing people to ants is inappropriate!’

Kanpū reflected on himself while controlling the Truth-Seeking Ball to intercept and block Shinno.

Shinno wanted to run, but there is Kanpū’s Flying Thunder God Technique’s imprint on the back collar of his clothes. No matter how fast he runs, he can’t get rid of Kanpū.

After chasing and fleeing for about half an hour, Shinno was finally blocked in place by the Truth-Seeking Balls.

“Is there anything you want to say before you die?” Kanpū remembered that Orochimaru had met Danzo when Hayate was taken away by Shinno. He then couldn't help but show a friendly smile, sincerely hoping that Shinno could drag Orochimaru down before he died.

Shinno saw through Kanpū's ‘intentions' at a glance, and showed a contemptuous look in his eyes.

Yes, it's undeniable that he is indeed dissatisfied with Orochimaru, but at the same time, he is also the leader of Land of Sky!

His revenge towards Konoha for destroying the Land of Sky has not been taken yet, so how can he betray Orochimaru?

‘Konoha Crush Plan… Orochimaru, you must succeed!’

Shinno took a deep breath, staring at Kanpūcoldly: “I'll wait for you in hell!”

As he spoke, he lunged towards the Truth-Seeking Ball, and his head turned into ashes in an instant.

‘How did it come to this, how did it come to this!’

Kanpū pretended to sigh twice, then used the Truth-Seeking Ball to turn Shinno’s other body parts into ashes before releasing Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
