CH 263

In the dead of night, everything is silent.

Suddenly, a huge dark cloud covered the bright moon, and snow started to fall.

Kanpū sat in front of the earthen house and looked at the snowflakes. After a while, his body was covered with a thick layer of snow, and he seemed to recall the Plum Blossom Melody in his mind… (T/N: Plum Blossom Melody is a song from China.)

Time passed, and at 12 o’clock, Kanpū’s body shook, shaking off the snow on his body, and then he entered the house.

There are Shinobi guarding outside the Konoha’s main camp, but they usually don’t guard here, so Kanpū boldly took out the remains of the companion in the sealing scroll on the left wooden shelf, and then collected it three times.

The green light cluster in his mind surged wildly, and three light blue light dots were ejected one after another.

At first glance, Kanpū saw that they are all Fire Release Ninjutsu: Fire Release: Flame Bullet, Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, and Fire Release: Fire Bullet.

Among the three Ninjutsu, Flame Bullet and Fire Bullet are collected for the first time, but these two Fire Release Ninjutsu’s powers are average. The one that makes Kanpū most delighted is the Great Dragon Fire Technique, as this Fire Release Ninjutsu’s special effects and formidable power are very impressive. Now that he has collected five, the Fire Release’s power has been increased to 140%. If he collected the perfect level, it will be a 9-fold increase!

‘Let’s first set a small goal for myself to raise Great Dragon Fire Technique to perfect level!’

For the next few days, the corpses of Sunagakure’s Shinobi and village’s companions would enter the earthen house every day, but when Kanpū take over the shift at 8 o’clock, the corpses of Sunagakure’s Shinobi had been taken away by Orochimaru’s people. Fortunately, Kanpū could still collect the village’s companions’ corpses.

In the past half a month, in addition to the assassination team, ordinary people below also started to pick up corpses on the battlefield. The number of corpses returned every day gradually increased. Obviously, the scale of the battle between Konoha and Sunagakure was gradually expanding. And with the increasing number of casualties, the manpower on Konoha’s side was stretched again, so Tarō and Kanpū were both recruited into the patrol team. In addition to recording the corpses, they are also responsible for patrolling.

This is a bitter thing for Kanpū, because the patrolling task during the day is not hard, but at night…

Kanpū no choice but to suffer in silence. He already has the thought to mention the shift change with Tarō, but unfortunately, when it’s the time when the two change shifts, Tarō would come and went in a hurry, and didn’t give Kanpū a chance to speak at all.

Someday late at night, at around 1:00 in the morning.

Someone came to deliver the corpse from outside the house.

And it turned out to be Tabako!

“Tabako-nee?”

Kanpū was extremely surprised to see her, especially when he noticed that her pale face and she had been bandaged on her left arm, “Are you injured?”

Tabako nodded slightly, then handed out a scroll, and said: “Amegakure’s Shinobi’s corpse.”

“Amegakure’s Shinobi? Have you entered the Land of Rain?” Kanpū asked in surprise.

‘We are fighting Sunagakure right now, what are you doing in the Land of Rain?’

Seeing the doubts on his face, Tabako was silent for a while, and then said, “It’s Orochimaru-sama’s order. He ordered our third assassination team to pretend to be Amegakure’s Shinobi and attacked Sunagakure’s logistics supplies. I didn’t expect to bump into Amegakure’s Shinobi, so I was carelessly injured.”

‘You actually met Amegakure’s Shinobi when pretending to be one?’

Kanpū could only secretly sighed as Tabako has such a bad luck. Fortunately, no one from the third assassination team died.

“Sister Yan, I’ll bandage you again, my bandage skills are very good.”

Kanpū is someone who has perfect bandage treatment, so why would he show off at this time… It’s mainly because he has been too idle recently. Although the Collection Technique shines brightly, but after the three collections were used, it would be a whole day of boredom.

Hearing this, Tabako nodded suspiciously.

Kanpū then unwrapped the bandage on her left arm, only to find that her wound was bandaged after a simple disinfection to stop the bleeding.

Kanpū quickly used Healing Technique, and at the same time asked: “Tabako-nee, why don’t you go find Medical-nin?”

Tabako looked at him strangely and said: “As someone from logistics department, don’t you know?”

Kanpū showed confused expression.

“Because the scale of combat is gradually expanding and the number of casualties is increasing, the Medical-nin are also getting busier and busier. In order to ensure their rest time, Orochimaru-sama ordered that unless it is a serious injury or worse, no one can disturb them in the middle of the night.” Tabako explained.

Kanpū was startled: ‘This order… is undoubtedly very correct. If the Medical-nin works day and night, I am afraid that they will die suddenly within two weeks.’

“Then, the medical department is not on duty at night?” Kanpū asked.

“There is a doctor on duty, and my injury was bandaged by the doctor.”

While speaking, Kanpū has finished using the Healing Technique, and then applied medicine and bandages on Tabako’s wound. With Healing Technique and perfect level bandage treatment, Tabako’s wound can be completely healed in two days at most!

“Thank you.” Tabako moved her left wrist slightly, and felt that it was much easier than before.

“We’re family, no need for thanks.” Kanpū said with a smile.

Tabako nodded, then turned around and went back to rest.

After that day, in addition to Sunagakure’s Shinobi and Konoha’s Shinobi’s corpses, the assassination team will also send Amegakure’s Shinobi’s corpses from time to time, but except for Konoha’s Shinobi’s corpse, the rest of the corpses ended up in Orochimaru’s hands.

At around 8 o’clock this evening, Kanpū went to work in the earthen house, and unexpectedly saw Tarō standing outside the earthen house.

“Tarō-san.” Kanpū waved his hand and greeted.

When Tarō saw Kanpū, he immediately turned around and slipped into the earthen house. After a while, Kanpū saw four Shinobi walking out of the house with Tarō.

With a heartbroken look on his face, Tarō pointed at Kanpū with a distressed and righteous expression, and said with grief and indignation: “It’s him!!”

Kanpū was stunned, not because of Tarō’s inexplicable words, but because of the four Shinobi who came out with Tarō. Two of them are Amegakure’s Shinobi with the iconic gas mask on their faces.

And the other two, are a man and a woman.

The woman has a light blue-purple hair color, orange pupils, and the most conspicuous thing is that she wears a light blue paper flower on the right side of her head!

As for the other person, he has a thin face and a conspicuous red-haired that covered his ears.

‘Konan, Nagato?!’

Kanpū was dumbfounded.

‘Sharingan… No, Rinnegan actually appeared in front of me?’

‘What should I do?’

‘Should I gouge out his eyes directly?’

‘I have Uzumaki Clan’s physique, so there should be no rejection when transplanting the Rinnegan!’

‘No, I can’t do that!’

‘At this time, Uchiha Madara is not dead, so he must be by on Nagato’s side. If I gouge Nagato’s eyes right in front of him, Uchiha Madara will definitely come out of his hiding and kill me.’

‘And here is Konoha’s main camp, Orochimaru’s territory!’

“Hey! Hey! Brat, don’t pretend to be a fool in front of this sir!!”

When the Amegakure’s Shinobi, who was on the opposite side, called twice and didn’t get any response from Kanpū, he immediately became angry, and rushed up to teach Kanpū some manner.

Kanpū looked up with hindsight, and saw a fist the size of a sandbag moved towards his face.

Kanpū subconsciously slapped that fist.

Pak!

Then, that Amegakure’s Shinobi was blown away by a slap.

“Damn, brat, you are courting death!!” The other Amegakure’s Shinobi was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight Kanpū. Just when the atmosphere at the scene was about to become uncontrollable, Konan, who is next to him, stepped forward.

“Wait a minute!”

Konan is only fifteen to sixteen years old at this time, so her face is still a bit immature, but her voice is unusually calm, “Don’t forget the purpose of our coming here!”

“Bastard!!!” The Amegakure’s Shinobi, who was sent flying, got up from the ground, and the hand that threw the punch had already snapped, making him grimacing in pain.

“Hehe, since Kanpū is here, then I will leave first, goodbye.”

Tarō smiled and nodded to a few people, and then ran away.

Kanpū frowned, as he feels like he has been pitted!
