Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

Chapter 986: Resentment

At the top of a hill outside Konoha.

In the depths of a tree hollow, Nagato slowly opened his eyes, the pupil power is faintly violent.

"Nagato?" Konan seemed to have guessed something.@@@@

"The Six Paths of Pain have all been wiped out."

Nagato growled grimly, "Damn you, Gekko Kanpū!!!"

"We need to retreat." Konan suggested calmly. This failure could be rectified later, as the most important thing was that they were safe.

Besides, with Kisame and Kakuzu's strength, capturing Sanbi shouldn't be difficult. So, they did gain something from this outing!

Nagato was very resentful and unwilling, but under Konan's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed to retreat.

...

After defeating Deva Path Pain with the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, the two repulsive forces in the sky above Konoha gradually dissipated, revealing the clear blue sky without mosaic.

Kanpū, wearing a green Chakra Cloak, slowly descended, intending to bask in the applause. However, he found that aside from a few Shinobi cleaning up the aftermath, there was no one else around.

Fortunately, a messenger informed him that Minato had gone to the Anbu's Headquarters.

Kanpū looked into the distance and saw the towering sea of trees that had suddenly appeared near the Anbu's Headquarters.

He immediately transformed into a green streak of light and shot over, sensing the sea of trees for Orochimaru while preparing his Truth-Seeking Ball for a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Upon locating Orochimaru, Kanpū descended with a forty-meter-long golden lightsaber.

Boom!

The blinding golden sword light pierced the air, sliced through the sea of trees, and arrogantly struck the center of the tree sea!

"Gekko Kanpū..."

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed as he quickly grabbed the Yonbi's Jinchuriki, Roshi, and then manipulated the tree branches to pull Sasuke to his side and grabbed him. Then, without looking back, he retreated rapidly into the depths of the sea of trees.

"Sasuke!!!" Itachi struggled desperately, his Mangekyo Sharingan spinning madly, but he soon realized that his Chakra was being continuously drained by the tree branches. In no time, he was completely exhausted, and Mangekyo in his eyes could no longer be supported and turns off automatically after a few spins.

"Kanpū-senpai, please save Sasuke!" Itachi, in a mix of rage and desperation, pleaded to Kanpū, who had just descended from the sky.

"Leave it to me."

Kanpū waved his, and dozens of Chakra lasers shot out from his green Chakra Cloak, cutting the tree branches binding Itachi and the other Anbu's members. He then turned his attention to Orochimaru, who was about to disappear into the depths of the sea of trees.

'Why does he always capture Sasuke?'

Kanpū's lips twitched, and then he immediately used a Flying Thunder God Technique to appeare beside Sasuke.

Seeing this, Orochimaru's pupils shrank in shock, "How is it possible?!"

"You plan to go after Nagato?" When Minato heard his words, he immediately understood.

'You are so smart...' Kanpū righteously declared, "Yes, with the Six Paths of Pain defeated, Nagato must be severely weakened. So now is the best time to eliminate him!"

"Be careful!" Minato seriously said.

Kanpū nodded, then turned into a green streak of light as he shot off to the sky.

...

After running more than a hundred kilometers out of Konoha, Orochimaru finally ordered Tobi to emerge from the ground.

"Aiya, Yonbi's Jinchuriki died so miserably." Tobi said with a smirk, his swirling face opening up.

Although he had covered Roshi with his Chakra just now, the human body simply couldn't withstand such terrifying high-speed movement.

"Yonbi seems about to emerge too. Orochimaru, you..." Tobi said.

"Shut up!"

Orochimaru interrupted him coldly and said, "Tell me where Nagato is!"

Tobi's demeanor softened as he asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"According to my agreement with Zetsu, I must obtain either the Tenseigan or the Rinnegan!" Orochimaru said coldly.

At this time, he was in a very foul mood. Ever since his soul transferred into Uchiha Shin's body, he had gained the Sharingan, Steel Release, Wood Release, and Magnet Release, significantly boosting his strength. He believed he could dominate the Shinobi World and achieve immortality. But what happened?

Every time he encountered Kanpū, he always ended up fleeing in disgrace!

'Why?!'

Orochimaru is not convinced!

'Only by obtaining the Rinnegan can I truly contend with Gekko Kanpū...' Orochimaru stared expressionlessly at Tobi and demanded again, "Where is Nagato?"

"I can't tell You."

Tobi responded very courageously, "According to your agreement with Zetsu, you have to save Obito first, but you didn't save him!"

"Obito isn't even in Konoha!" Orochimaru said coldly.

"I don't care. If you can't rescue Obito, I won't tell you where Nagato is." Tobi snorted and said arrogantly.

Orochimaru is very angry, but he can't kill Tobi directly. After all, this skin is very convenient for running.

"Take me to see Zetsu!" Orochimaru decided to confront Zetsu directly.

"Alright, I'll take you to him." Tobi said, his swirl-faced mask closing up, as he led Orochimaru and the broken Roshi back into the ground.
