If one plants flowers with care, they won’t bloom, and if one plants willows without care, they will grow thickly.
On the third day when Minato stopped searching for Kanpū, information suddenly arrived from the eastern coastal area.
“Renting a ship to sail out to sea?”
Minato’s expression couldn't help but darken upon seeing the information.
In the sea, Flying Thunder God Technique would be greatly restricted. The teleport points such as special kunai will sink into the seabed once it touches the water, it is equivalent to being invisible sealed.
‘If Kanpū was taken to the depths of the ocean…’
Minato didn't dare to hesitate and imdiately organized a rescue team.
Although so many days had passed, Minato does not intend to give up as long as there was a glimr of hope.
However, considering the mystery and strength of Abyss, the rescue team shouldn't be too large, but it must consist of the elites among the elites!
After thinking for a while, Minato thought selected three people, naly Kakashi, Guy, and Itachi.
Kakashi is a copy master and is proficient in thousands of Ninjutsu, including hundreds of Water Release Ninjutsu. With him present, even if they didn't have an advantage, they wouldn't fall into passivity in this rescue operation on the sea.
Guy is a Taijutsu Shinobi, and an amphibious combatant. He can be used both as a spear in advancing and a shield in retreating. Moreover, he has trained Forbidden Technique, Eight Gates Technique. If they encountered a life-threatening situation, he could open the gates to fight the enemy.
Itachi possessed 3-Tomoe Sharingan and is proficient in Uchiha Clan’s Genjutsu. And according to Shisui, Itachi’s Genjutsu was already a cut above the rest among the sa tomoe, with only Shisui above him.
Kakashi, Guy, and Itachi are all experts in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu respectively. With the three of them tead up, they would be able to handle any unforeseen circumstances!
Half an hour later, Kakashi, Guy and Itachi appeared in the office.
Minato didn't waste ti with them, and directly appointed Kakashi as a temporary captain, leading Guy and Itachi to the sea for the rescue operations.
They departed imdiately!
“Kakashi, pay attention to safety.” After issuing the mission, Minato earnestly reminded.
“Understood!” Kakashi responded solemnly, then looked at Guy and Itachi, and said with a smile, “Let’s go!”
When they left the Hokage Tower, Guy finally couldn't help but ask: “Kakashi, who exactly are we going to rescue?”
Itachi also looked towards Kakashi curiously.
It's important to note that Kakashi was currently the Military Police Force’s Captain. With the Deputy Captain, Shisui in the border, the fact that Minato still sent Kakashi out ant that the person they were rescuing was definitely very special!
“It’s Kanpū.” Kakashi said in a solemn tone, “That idiot might be in trouble, and I don't know if we'll make it in ti.”
“What?” Guy was stunned, shaking his head in disbelief, “Kanpū has mastered Flying Thunder God Technique. If he wanted to escape, who can keep him?”
“It’s the sea!”
Itachi, with his high intelligence and quick reactions, imdiately guessed the truth from Minato’s words and said, “Captain Kanpū’s Flying Thunder God Technique will be greatly restricted in the deep sea! If soone wants to deal with Captain Kanpū, the only possibility is to take him into the deep sea!”
“That idiot is usually much sneakier than anyone else. At a critical mont, how could he… sigh, let's go.” Kakashi sighed irritably.
The three of them were all elite Shinobi. The Ninja Tools, bandages, detoxification pills, food pills and other items they carried with them body are all top-of-the-line, so they could imdiately set off without replenishnt.
Leaving Konoha, the three people rushed all the way, and arrived at the pier where Kanpū had appeared in the intelligence five days later.
After so inquiries, they quickly found the ship Kanpū had rented and were then inford of the destination of that voyage.
“Land of Whirlpools?” Kakashi looked at the sailor with so doubt.
The sailor was a rough man. He beca angry when he saw Kakashi questioning him, but…
Glancing at the forehead protector on Kakashi's forehead, the sailor felt scared… Cough, he said humbly: “That's right, it's the Land of Whirlpools. Although it's deserted now, I used to go there to avoid several storms when I was with a ship, so I definitely won't be mistaken!”
“Kakashi, this seems too simple. Could the person going to the Land of Whirlpools be soone impersonating him? While Kanpū and the others went in another direction?” Guy rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, as if possessed by a famous detective.
“We'll know when we get there.” Kakashi said.
After all, so many days had passed. So even if Kanpū really got into trouble, his body might have already turned cold. There was no need to rush for this short amount of ti.
So Kakashi’s group rented the ship and the sailors, and set off for the Land of Whirlpools at noon that day.
…
Night fell slowly.
Konoha.
Gekko Mansion.
After Keiko finished preparing dinner, Hoshino and Hayate appeared on ti.
“Kanpū hasn’t co back yet.” Keiko looked at her husband and nephew disgustingly, and missed Kanpū a little.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Keiko. Big brother is so cunning, he'll be back soon after completing the mission.” Hayate said with a smile.
Hoshino frowned and slapped him on the back of his head, annoyed: “Why do you talk about your big brother like that?”
‘He's always been super cunning… I don't even know how many tis he tricked when I was a kid. Every ti I recall the past, I feel like crying…’ Hayate suppressed his grievances and forced a smile: “I was wrong, not cunning, but clever, Big brother is the smartest.”
“Alright, let's eat quickly.” Keiko smiled and served them food.
After dinner, Hayate went out to find Yugao to stroll around the village.
Yugao, with her long purple hair, had been waiting outside the mansion for a while now. Her figure was striking, but her expression seed sowhat absent-minded.
“Yugao, where should we go tonight?” Hayate asked with a gentle tone, sounding almost like a woman.
“Anywhere.” Yugao replied.
“Then let’s go to Senju Park.”
Hayate and Yugao walked side by side on the street, the evening breeze chilly, but the atmosphere is sowhat heavy.
Hayate glanced at his girlfriend, who was frowning lightly, feeling uneasy: “Yugao, you've been frowning for the past few days. Is there sothing I don't know about?”
“I…” Yugao looked at him, hesitating.
“Yugao, tell !” Hayate looked at her nervously.
“I…I’m not sure.” Yugao shook her head slightly.
Hayate’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
‘Not sure?’
Although he was easily tricked by Kanpū when he’s young, Hayate is still quite intelligent. From Yugao’s response, he knew that whatever she wanted to say must be related to him. Coupled with the fact that she is now an Anbu’s mber, and his big brother had just left the village on a mission a few days ago…
“It’s related to my big brother, isn’t it?” After taking a few steps, Hayate suddenly felt that his leg muscles seed to cramp, and he couldn’t move his leg for a while.
Yugao remained silent, her expression unpleasant.
‘It’s really related to Big brother?’
‘How is it possible?!’
Hayate had lived under Kanpū's shadow since he was a child. Although he knew there were countless experts in the Shinobi World, he still subconsciously believed that no one in the Shinobi World could kill his big brother.
‘But unexpectedly…’
‘Big brother…’
‘You died so tragically!!!’
Hayate clenched his teeth and his gums started bleeding.
He clenched his fists, veins popping on the back of his hands.
Then, he heard Yugao said: “Soone infiltrated the Anbu’s Headquarters a few days ago and looked through the information of Big brother Kanpū. After that, Commander and Hokage-sama ordered all Anbu to carpet search the villages to find the intruder, but unfortunately, we didn’t find them in the end.”
‘That’s it?’
Hayate stopped gritting his teeth and turned his head to look at her.
“So, Big brother is not dead?” Hayate rubbed the sides of his cheeks, feeling a bitter sense of wasted emotions.
“For now, he should be classified as missing.”
Seeing Hayate’s relieved expression, Yugao was a bit surprised, “Hayate, are you not worried?”
“Oh, hehehehe…”
Hayate laughed dryly, “Worried? I'm worried sick about him.”
Yugao couldn't help but find the bond between these two brothers sowhat strange.
‘When we’re young, Hayate used to stick to Big brother Kanpū all the ti, but why did he beco so ambivalent when he grew up? Every ti I ntion Big brother Kanpū, Hayate suddenly becos so weird.’
‘Hmm, it must be my imagination.’
‘I shouldn't doubt their brotherly bond.’
Yugao cheered up and said with a smile: “Let’s go, to Senju Park.”
