Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

The entrance of Ryuchi Cave is a dark and damp canyon, with a layer of colorful miasma floating overhead. The edge of the miasma was filled with decaying animal carcasses, emitting a strange foul smell.

Suddenly, an invisible spiral ripple slowly spun in the air several meters away, and then a figure in a black robe emerged.

The black-robed figure wore an orange spiral mask, exposing only one right eye, emitting a faint red light. It is none other than Uchiha Obito!

Before entering Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru had released an encrypted message in the black market. The content was simple, only indicating the time and place, and the decryption method was known only to Orochimaru and Obito… It was the private communication method they had left behind after teaming up to deal with Kanpū.

“Orochimaru.” Obito glanced around, but didn't see a soul.

‘He hasn't arrived yet?’

Obito frowned: “Tobi.”

“Here, here.” White Zetsu’s clone, Tobi, emerged from under Tobi's crotch and said with a smile, “What’s the matter?”

“Sense Orochimaru's presence.” Obito instructed.

A cold and hoarse voice came out from the colorful miasma.

After lying in Ryuchi Cave for about half a month, Orochimaru successfully integrated the Senjutsu Chakra from White Snake Sage with his new body!

After that, he went to the bronze hall and successfully used his silver tongue to persuade the White Snake Sage to inject more and more of its Senjutsu Chakra into him, so that his body to adapt to the Senjutsu Chakra more quickly and efficiently.

At the same time, Orochimaru also learned two powerful Sage Art from the White Snake Sage, which are the Inorganic Reincarnation and the White Rage Technique!

These two Sage Art were also sought after by Kanpū from the White Snake Sage, but unfortunately, the old snake felt that Kanpū's Sage Mode lacked the snake transformation, so he didn't give them to him.

Orochimaru emerged from the miasma, revealing a pale face: “Long time no see, Uchiha…Obito.”

“My name is Uchiha Madara!!!” Obito insisted stubbornly.

“Hehehehehehe …”

Orochimaru chuckled and walked to him, then said, “A name is just a code, right, Uchiha… Madara?”

Obito looked disgusted and said coldly: “Did you call me here suddenly because you have something to discuss?”

“Of course, I have a plan that urgently needs your help.” Orochimaru said with a smile, “It’s called the Konoha Crush Plan!”

The red light on Obito's right eye intensified when he heard this, “Tell me more.”

Orochimaru immediately explained his plan to him: He is working together with Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Otogakure, and Land of Sky, and prepared to attack Konoha during the Joint Chunin Exam.

Obito is ecstatic upon hearing this. After all, if this plan can greatly damage Konoha's vitality in one fell swoop, it will not only satisfy him, but also remove the biggest obstacle for Akatsuki to collect all the nine Biju!

It’s killing two birds with one stone!

“That’s a good plan.”

Obito praised with calm tone, “I can help you, Orochimaru.”

His tone was somewhat like a grandfather praising his grandson.

Orochimaru did not get angry by this, and said with a smile: “I have conditions.”

Obito felt like he was about to be swindled, his gaze cooled down instantly, and he asked emotionlessly. “What conditions?”

“I need Hashirama’s cells.” Orochimaru looked at him with a smile.

Orochimaru's plan was this: With White Zetsu’s clone’s ability to burrow underground, Obito’s Space-Time Dojutsu, plus his own familiarity with the Anbu’s Headquarters, the cooperation of three of them can definitely let them infiltrate the Anbu’s Headquarters to steal a large number of Hashirama’s cells. They might even obtain Hashirama’s remains!

However…

“How much do you want?” Uchiha Obito asked directly.

Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned imperceptibly, ‘Judging from his tone, it seems he has…’

‘How can Uchiha Obito have Hashirama’s cells?’

“As much as possible, of course.” Orochimaru suppressed the doubts and started to talk.

“Hmph, what do you think Hashirama’s cells are? Do you think you can have as many as you want?”

Obito curled his mouth in disdain. He inherited the Hashirama’s cells from Madara, and since he didn't need them on a regular basis, Black Zetsu kept them for him.

“Once the Konoha Crush Plan is implemented, Konoha will definitely be in chaos. At that time, you can take advantage of the chaos to search for Hashirama’s remains in the Anbu’s headquarters, so there's no need to regret the few cells you have in your hand.” Orochimaru tempted.

Obito pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement with his reasoning, but he still had one last question: “What do you need the Hashirama’s cells for?”

“If I say I want to transplant Hashirama’s cells to inherit his Wood Release, would you believe me?” Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and licked his face excitedly.

Obito chuckled at this.

‘Transplant Hashirama’s cell to inherit Wood Release?’

‘Who do you think you are?’

“I need to remind you that transplanting Hashirama’s cells is a very dangerous thing. If it affects the Konoha Crush Plan, I won't spare you.” Obito warned playfully, with a strong sense of possession for the plan.

Orochimaru's mind was now focused solely on obtaining Hashirama’s cells to strengthen himself, so after hearing this, he just smiled: “Then, happy cooperation!”

……

Land of Fire, Konoha.

After returning from training in the river, Karin hinted heavily to Kanpū that she wanted to learn Rasengan and Chidori.

Kanpū pretended not to see it.

This is not Kanpū being stingy, but because Karin is Sensor Shinobi. At most, she could also become a Medical-nin or a Fuinjutsu Master. If she learned Rasengan and Chidori, not only would it be inappropriate, but it would also seriously affect Karin’s professional development!

So Kanpū could only pretend not to see Karin’s hint.

‘Although you can't understand my painstaking efforts, everything I do is for your own good…’ Kanpū felt like he was really breaking his heart for the younger generation!

After Naruto returned home, , he sat alone on his bed, gripping his right wrist with his left hand, and exerted all his strength, shouting: “Rasengan!!!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

Naruto concentrated his Chakra into his palm with great force, and succeeded in one go!

‘I really am a genius!’

‘Next is the second Step!’

Naruto took out a balloon, filled it with water in the bathroom, and then held it in his palm.

“Rasengan!!!”

Naruto shouted while releasing Chakra, urging the water in the balloon to make irregular movements, but…

There was no movement in the water balloon at all.

‘Failed?’

Naruto refused to admit defeat. He continued to try and fail, try and fail, repeatedly attempting and failing, until he finally fell asleep solidly.

Meanwhile…

After Sasuke returned home, he immediately memorized the Chidori training method from the scroll, and then carefully destroyed the evidence, and then began to practice.

‘The first step was to convert the Chakra Attribute in my body into Lightning Attribute…’

‘It should be similar to changing it to Fire Attribute.’

After experimenting alone all night, Sasuke succeeded.

‘I really am a genius!’

‘The second step is to gather a large amount of Lightning Attribute Chakra in my hand to form a high-intensity electric current.’

Sasuke took a deep breath. He could feel the destructive power of the Lightning Attribute Chakra, so as a precaution, he only dared to concentrate a small amount of Lightning Attribute Chakra for the first time.

Crackle…

A faint blue lightning flashed in Sasuke's palm and disappeared in an instant.

“Hiss!!”

Sasuke suddenly took a cold breath, as the erratic lightning injured his forearm. He instantly felt his arm sore and numb, as if it had been pricked by needles several times.

Sasuke quickly took out a medical bandage and wrapped his forearm.

‘What a dangerous Lightning Release Ninjutsu…’ A trace of solemnity flashed in Sasuke's eyes, ‘But the more dangerous the Ninjutsu, the greater the power!’

After the excitement, Sasuke, who had stayed up all night, finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, he was awakened by Mikoto.

“Mom?” Sasuke woke up in a daze.

“Sasuke, your teammates are waiting for you outside, hurry up and get up.” Mikoto said gently.

‘Teammates?’

‘It’s not that idiot Naruto, right?’

Sasuke got up with a serious face, washed up, ate something casually, and went out. Sure enough, he saw Naruto and Karin, as well as their team’s Jonin Instructor…

“Tenzo-sensei.” Sasuke said.

Tenzo smiled and said, “Now that everyone is finally here, follow me, I have something important to tell you.”

Tenzo led his three students to a bird-chirping and flower-scented small forest, and turned around solemnly: “Naruto, Sasuke, Karin, you should have heard about it, the Joint Chunin Exam held every three years is about to begin! Of course, you've just become Genin, so…”

“We already knew about it!”

Naruto jumped and said, “Tenzo-sensei, sign us up!”

‘You immediately wanted to sign up?’

‘Aren't you supposed to be scared first, then I'll give you some chicken soup for the soul to inspire you, and then you'll overcome your fear and agree to participate?’

Tenzo frowned slightly, and said: “Naruto, don't be in a hurry. Let me introduce the Joint Chunin Exams to you first. Because Shinobi from other villages are participating in this exam, it's very dangerous…”

“No need for introductions, Tenzo-sensei, we already know what we need to know.” Sasuke interrupted, “You just have to sign us up.”

“Sasuke is right!” Karin also said.

“…”

Tenzo’s almond pupil hidden under the face helmet stared at the three people in front of him emotionlessly, ‘I prepared chicken soup for you all night…’

‘Let's try again!’

Tenzo said expressionlessly, “Let me introduce it anyway…”

“There’s! No! Need!” The three shouted.
