Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 854: Kanpū is in Danger

Under the dim light, Ōmadara, dressed in a hooded black robe, flickered like a ghost, rushing to the Anbu’s Headquarters at extreme speed.

By now, the night had deepened, and the large Anbu’s Headquarters had long lost its lights. It was pitch black, and it was even more eerie under the dim moonlight, resembling a haunted house.

However, Ōmadara knew that there was an Anbu’s team guarding the building day and night, with tight security.

Unfortunately, all of this was useless to Ōmadara. Those mysterious points that couldn't be revealed to outsiders were all laid bare to him!

Ōmadara’s figure flickered and turned into afterimages as he shot into the building, heading straight for the third floor. Along the way, he encountered several Anbu’s patrols, all of whom were confused and knocked unconscious by his well-prepared Sharingan’s Genjutsu.

A few minutes later, arrived at a data room on the third floor. After sneaking in silently, he quietly rummaged through, finding the relevant information about ‘Husky,' including his identity, mission logs, and the Anbu Commander’s evaluations on him.

After reading through it, Ōmadara pretended to tidy up a bit before quietly exiting the same way he came.

When he reached the main entrance on the ground floor, fireworks suddenly bloomed silently in the sky above the Konoha’s gate, glaringly conspicuous in the night.

‘Those two woke up in time…’ Ōmadara smiled slightly after noticing the fireworks. His figure melted into the darkness and quickly disappeared.

The Anbu lurking on various floors of the building also sprang out from the dark.

‘It’s the signal of Shinobi intrusion!’

‘Is it Kumogakure’s Shinobi?’

‘The signal has no sound, indicating that only a few intruders are present.’

As the group of Anbu analyzed in their minds, they made special bird calls to communicate with each other.

But when these bird calls reached the third floor, they stopped abruptly.

“Not good!”

The Anbu on the upper floors realized something was amiss and immediately rushed down the building. Soon, they discovered their unconscious companions.

‘Anbu’s Headquarters had been invaded silently?’

‘Damn it!’

Everyone was filled with shock and anger, and they quickly sent an emergency assembly signal into the night sky.

……

Half an hour later, Anbu Commander hurriedly arrived at the Anbu’s Headquarters.

At this time, the Anbu’s Headquarters is brightly lit, with figures everywhere. On the third floor, Anbu’s members stood at three-meter intervals, all with their heads held high, chests out, abdomens in, hips raised, and hands folded behind them like javelins, exuding a strong sense of ceremony!

After entering the building, Eagle looked around and calmly asked: “Any losses?”

“Commander, the intruder’s target is the data room on the third floor. We found no trace of intrusion in other rooms.” An Anbu replied.

‘Data room?’

Eagle didn't dare to be negligent and immediately rushed to the third floor. Passing through the corridor with Anbu’s members stationed at three-meter intervals, he arrived at the data room. After a brief inspection, he quickly found traces left by Ōmadara.

‘Although these traces had been artificially erased, they weren't thorough…The intruder is very cautious, but not very adept, likely due to nervousness.’

As he analyzed, Eagle followed these traces and eventually found a stack of documents.

And these documents were all related to someone!

Seeing this, Eagle’s expression turned solemn: ‘The other party is coming for Kanpū!’

He sorted out Kanpū's information, and found nothing special, so he prepared to report to Minato tomorrow.

As for now, of course it is to catch the bold invader!

Eagle walked out of the data room and was about to give the order, when an Anbu’s member quickly rushed up, and reported: “Commander, we just received information from the gate’s guards that the intruder has the Sharingan!”

“Sharingan?” Eagle’s heart sank, and asked in a deep voice, “Who were the gate guards on duty tonight?”

“Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu!” Anbu’s Shinobi replied.

‘Those two are both Elite Chunin, so the probability of them making mistakes about this is extremely small…’ Eagle’s expression turned ugly.

‘Uchiha Clan, are they going to cause trouble again?’

‘They actually dare to invade the Anbu’s Headquarters!’

‘But…’

Eagle furrowed his brows: ‘Why would they be looking up Kanpū's information?’

‘Did Kanpū antagonize the Uchiha Clan?’

‘It shouldn’t be possible, right?’

‘Wait!’

‘If it is the Uchiha Clan, why would they pass through the village’s gate?’

‘Coming in from outside…’

Eagle’s whole body shook: ‘I see, it's Abyss!!’

The information about Abyss is top secret, but as the Anbu Commander, Eagle still knows a lot of information about it. For example, Hyuga Clan and Uchiha Clan have clansmen who cheated dead and joined Abyss. The person from the Hyuga Clan is called Hyuga Taki. As for Uchiha Clan’s, his specific identity is still unknown.

Of course, this isn't the point. The point is that Abyss actually sent someone to Konoha to investigate Kanpū…

‘Speaking of which, Kanpū seemed to have taken leave to go out of the village today…’

Eagle keenly sensed that something was amiss, and quickly jumped out of the window and head straight to Minato’s house.

The remaining Anbu looked at each other in shock.

“Commander’s reaction…”

“It seems like something big is happening.”

“Let’s go, let's search the whole village immediately!”

“Focus on the Uchiha Clan's settlement!”

“Go!”

Without mentioning the actions of the Anbu’s members, Eagle rushed like the wind and finally arrived at Minato’s house within twenty minutes. He urgently knocked on the door and called out.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Yondaime-sama!”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Yondaime-sama!”

“Eagle?”

After being awakened by the noise, Minato came to the balcony in his pajamas. He looked down and saw Eagle, “Why are you here so late? What happened?”

“Yondaime-sama, it’s not good!”

Eagle jumped onto the balcony and said solemnly, “Someone infiltrated the data room in Anbu’s Headquarters just now, and rummaged through Kanpū's information!”

“Who is the intruder?” Minato felt a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.

“We can't confirm, but the intruder has the Sharingan and entered from outside the village.” Eagle said solemnly, “I suspect he's from the Abyss.”

‘Abyss?’

Minato was startled, then his face changed drastically: “Not good!”

This afternoon, Kanpū went out of the village to meet Abyss’s Tenkū, and now, in the evening, someone from the Abyss came to the Anbu’s Headquarters to investigate Kanpū's information.

The only possibility Minato could think of was that Kanpū's identity as a double-agent had been exposed, so the Abyss sent someone to investigate him!

In other words, once the intruder finds something and sent back the information, Kanpū might have to face Abyss alone!

Although Kanpū mastered Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato, who also masters Flying Thunder God Technique, knows that in some desperate situations, even the Flying Thunder God Technique might not be enough to let them escape!

“We must not let that intruder leave the village!” Minato said sternly.

“Yes!”

……

That night.

Konoha’s Anbu worked overtime collectively until the early hours of the morning. They worked in groups of two to carry out a carpet search in the village. However, with the continuous expansion of Konoha over the years, the village’s size had become larger and larger, so even if Minato mobilized all the Anbu’s members in the village, it would be impossible to search the entire village in just one night!

Minato and Eagle stood quietly by the railing of the Hokage Tower's rooftop, waiting patiently. The sky was getting brighter, but there was still no useful information from the Anbu.

At this time, there were already pedestrians moving around under the Hokage Tower. Yes, the residents of Konoha, who had rested all night, had gotten up. They went to school, went to work, did business, went shopping, and soon the quiet Konoha was covered by hustle and bustle.

But Minato’s heart was as cold as ice. He knew that the possibility of finding the intruder were slim to none. In other words… Kanpū is in danger!
