Chapter 457 Byakugan, Get!

"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry, the mission failed!"

After entering the office, Jizo knelt down on one knee and apologized immediately.

Shisui, Kakashi and Kanpū who followed behind also knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads in apology.

"I probably already know what happened, so I don't blame you guys."

Minato said with a slight smile, "Get up."

Jizo stood up slowly and asked in confusion: "Hokage-sama, how did you know?"

Because of the mission failure, they have to be very low-key when they come back along the way. They hadn't revealed any news, so he wondered how did Minato know in advance?

"Could it be Kumogakure?" Kanpū's heart skipped a beat.

Minato nodded: "After your operation failed, Kumogakure contacted me. They suspected that the assassination was planned by us, Konoha."

"Hokage-sama, we absolutely did not leave any evidence that reveals our identity!"

Jizo hurriedly said loudly, "We brought back all the bodies of our dead companions!"

"Don't worry, I didn't admit it, but Kumogakure doesn't give up, so…" At this point, Minato showed a meaningful smile, and then didn't say anything for a while.

Seeing this, Kanpū wanted to hit Minato, 'Damn it, I hate half-talkers the most!'

"So what?"

By relying on his status as Minato's disciple, Kakashi urged uncomfortably, "Minato-sensei, please stop playing around."

Minato is not angry either, and said with a smile: "Kumogakure has sent the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader here to investigate the truth."

"Who?"

Kanpū and the others were all stunned.

It must be known that they had just assassinated the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader, and they also almost succeeded, 'This guy… is actually very brave?'

"Hokage-sama, how many Shinobi did the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader bring?" Jizo thought of something, and looked at Minato eagerly.

"No."

Minato shook his head, "At this time, the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader should have entered the border of our country. We can't let him die in our country!"

Konoha can send someone to kill the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader in another country. As long as no evidence is left, no one can throw this blame on Konoha.

On the contrary, if the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader dies in Land of Fire, even if it is not done by Konoha's Shinobi, this blame will have to be carried by Konoha!

"So we actually have to send someone to protect him?" Kanpū also felt uncomfortable.

Kakashi curled his lips: "Anyway, I won't go."

Jizo was mature and prudent, so he asked: "Hokage-sama, I'm afraid that the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader is coming to our village this time is not just for investigating the truth. What if he has other conspiracies?"

Minato nodded in agreement, and said: "I also suspect that this is a conspiracy by Yondaime Raikage, but it is still uncertain for the time being, so we can only take one step at a time."

Kanpū asked: "Hokage-sama, after the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader arrives at Konoha, do we need to avoid suspicion?"

Minato then said, "You didn't show your face when you assassinated him, right?"

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. When they attacked, they either used Transformation Technique or wore masks. To say that they were exposed…

Kanpū suddenly pointed to Kakashi's hair and tattletale in front of him: "Hokage-sama, Kakashi's hair is white! The Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader will definitely use this as a clue to find the truth!"

Hearing this, Kakashi was furious: "There are countless Shinobi with white hair in the Shinobi World, and he didn't see my face! How could he find me!"

Kanpū held the back of his head with his hands, turned his head away, and muttered: "Why do I remember that you are the only one with white hair in our village?"

"Cough cough."

Minato suddenly let out dry coughs. After all, his teacher, Jiraiya also has white hair.

"Okay, stop arguing."

Minato interrupted them and said, "Everyone in the sixth team is on vacation these days until the Kumogakure's Shinobi's leader leaves the Land of Fire."

"Yes!" Jizo responded quickly.

Kakashi, Kanpū and Shisui also nodded.

Then, Minato gave a few more instructions and let them go.

After leaving the office, Tenzo immediately went to Kanpū's side and shouted with a smile: "Brother Gekko, long time no see."

Kanpū smiled and said: "Tenzo, how are you doing in the guard team? Are Brother Genma and the others bullying you?"

Tenzo shook his head and said: "No, they are all very good to me. Brother Gekko, I didn't expect that you are in Anbu, amazing!"

Kanpū calmly said: "It's not that amazing. Tenzo, you can also join Anbu if you want to."

"But Hokage-sama said I was too young." Tenzo said with disappointment.

Kanpū chuckled and said: "Then, in just a few years, when you grow up, you can join Anbu."

Tenzo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

After chatting with Tenzo for a while, Kanpū waved his hand and left.

After leaving Hokage Tower, Jizo and Kakashi have already left, and only Shisui is still waiting for him.

"Kanpū."

Shisui walked closer and whispered, "Shall we go to Ryuchi Cave during this period of time?"

Kanpū raised his brows: "So urgent?"

Shisui said heavily: "A lot of my pupil power has been consumed in this mission, and my eyesight has deteriorated a lot, so…"

'So he wanted to learn Senjutsu as soon as possible, so he doesn't need to rely on Sharingan anymore when he encounters dangerous battles.'

Kanpū can understand Shisui's thought, but he…

Kanpū is entangled. He originally planned to wait for Jiraiya. If Jiraiya did not agree with him to sign Mount Myōboku's summoning contract, he would go to Ryuchi Cave, 'But now…'

'If I do not accompany Shisui to go to Ryuchi Cave, will Shisui give up this idea?'

'Definitely not.'

'Haaah.'

Kanpū said tiredly: "When shall we leave?"

"The sooner the better… How about tomorrow?" Shisui looked at him with glowing eyes.

What else can Kanpū do? He can only nod: "Got it."

After returning to dressing room of the bathhouse to change back to their clothes, Kanpū and Shisui agree to meet at the gate of the village at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then go back to their respective homes.

At the door of his mansion, Kanpū's heart suddenly shook!

Not far away, he saw Hiashi and Hizashi are walking slowly with their own children in their arms.

Kanpū is overjoyed when he saw this. Without saying anything further, he trotted up to greet them: "Uncle Hiashi, Uncle Hizashi."

"Oh, it's Kanpū." Hizashi, who is holding Neji, greeted with a smile.

Hiashi, who was holding Hinata next to Hizashi, nodded slightly towards Kanpū and said: "You are back from your mission?"

"Yeah, I just came back."

Kanpū nodded, then blinked his eyes and pretended to be innocent. He looked at the little baby in Hiashi's arms with shining eyes and said, "Hinata is so cute."

Kanpū looked at Hinata seriously. The little girl is sleeping soundly at this moment, with her two small hands tucked in front of her chest. She neither pursed her lips nor drooled, and her sleeping appearance is very cute.

Kanpū rubbed his hands: 'I won't be polite!'

'Collect!'

Throwing down the Collection Technique, the green light cluster in Kanpū's mind instantly surged.

"Cute… Compared to cute, I hope Hinata to be strong." Hearing Kanpū's compliment, Hiashi shook his head slightly, and said in a rather unpleasant way.

Kanpū's face twitched. Although he didn't agree with him, he would not refute him foolishly. Besides… the green light cluster in his mind also ejected a pale red light dot at the right time!

Kanpū was delighted. He had already collected three Byakugan from Neji before, and he collected one from a little kid at Hyuga Clan on the day Hinata was born. Plus this one, there's a total of five!

In other words, there is only the last one left before his Byakugan is completed!

Kanpū did not dare to hesitate, and without saying anything further, he threw another Collection Technique!

The green light cluster surged again. Kanpū watched nervously and full of expectations, and at the same time said: "Uncle Hiashi, when Hinata grows up in the future, she will definitely become an excellent heir."

"I hope so."

Hiashi showed a faint smile, and then asked, "Kanpū, you seemed to like Hinata very much."

Kanpū hurriedly shook his head and said: "Uncle Hiashi, everyone will like a cute child like Hinata."

Kanpū's desire to survive has always been great, and he will never reveal the slightest flaw even in the face of soul torture, so as not to be regarded as a weirdo.

While they're speaking, the green light cluster in Kanpū's mind ejected a pale red light dot again.

'Mission complete.'

Kanpū immediately changed his attitude and said: "Aiya, it's getting late, Uncle Hiashi, Uncle Hizashi, I will go home first."

As soon as the words fell, Kanpū jumped over the wall and went home.

Hiashi and Hizashi look at each other, completely confused about Kanpū's attitude.

After returning to his mansion, Kanpū immediately ran back to his bedroom, and then, he closed his eyes to concentrate. At this moment, next to the green light cluster in his mind, the six pale red light dots belonging to Byakugan have fused to form a red stardust!

Byakugan: Kekkei Genkai!

Kanpū's heartbeat quickened slightly when he saw this, and then he immediately turns off Transparent Release and lights up the Byakugan.

In an instant, the red stardust that belonged to Byakugan instantly emits a bright red glow, shining down like a scorching sun, illuminating Kanpū's upper and lower Chakra Pathway System warm and red, especially at both of his eyes, which were painful and sore like burning!

Kanpū forcibly resisted wiping them with his hands, and he didn't dare to open his eyelids. He just gritted his teeth and held on.

In just a few seconds, the burning sensation in his eyes disappeared.

Kanpū still didn't open his eyelids, but poured Chakra into his eyes instead. Instantly, the Chakra Pathway System on Kanpū's face near the sides of the eyes protruded ferociously like tree roots. Kanpū felt a little uncomfortable, but soon, the darkness disappeared, and a gray and white world was printed into his pupils!

'Futon, quilts, desks, walls…'

Kanpū obviously closed his eyes at this moment, but everything around him seemed to be clearly visible as gray shadows. As soon as Kanpū poured more Chakra, these the gray shadow quickly thinned and dissipated, and then he saw the things outside are also gray and white shadows, vague, but very real.

'Is this Byakugan's perspective?'

'Sure enough, it can't peer into private life, otherwise…'

Thinking of those shameful things, Kanpū couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

But then, he remembered something and hurriedly checked the degree of his Byakugan.

'Front, back, left, right, up, down, three hundred and sixty degrees, there is no dead spot!'

That's right, Kanpū collects Byakugan, not Caged Bird, so how could it be restricted?

'Aiya, I really want to go out and show to those Byakugan Shinobi with caged birds, it must be very fun.'

But he can't tell anyone about Byakugan, so he can only be quiet and cool by himself.

'This feeling is really tormenting.'
