Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 812: Pleasant Surprise Brought By The Severed Arm

The capital of the Land of Iron.

Konoha Tavern, basement.

Wearing a white lab coat, Kabuto is currently using a microscope to observe the cellular tissue in glass containers. After a while, he sighed in relief: “Finally succeeded.”

“Succeeded?” Kanpū’s shadow clone was lying on the operating table nearby and asked while yawning, “Do you mean cellular cloning?”

Kabuto nodded slightly, then said with a smile: “You can inform my Lord that he can come and collect the severed arm now.”

Although he hasn't been able to clone a complete arm yet, even a simple clone of cells is enough to support his research.

“Understood.”

The shadow clone formed hand seal to disband himself.

A few seconds later, Kanpū, who is dressed in pajamas, quietly appeared on the operating table with an invisible wave of air.

Not really… In order to immediately collect Toneri’s ancestors, Kanpū has stayed up late everyday.

Kanpū said with a smile: “I didn't expect the cloning to be completed so quickly. Kabuto, you are even better than I expected!”

“Thank you for your praise, My Lord.”

Kabuto then led Kanpū down to the second floor underground, took out the severed arm, placed it in a large glass container shaped like a test tube, then filled it with special medicinal liquid, sealed it and then handed to Kanpū.

After receiving it, Kanpū said seriously: “Kabuto, any information related to this arm must not be disclosed to anyone, do you understand?”

“I understand.” Kabuto nodded in response.

With the Cursed Mark placed on him, he couldn't reveal it even if he wanted to.

Kanpū then told him some interesting stories in the orphanage. It was not until midnight that he left a shadow clone, then activated Sage Mode, and followed the network cable to the underground base beneath the frozen soil.

Today’s bandits have already been captured by the shadow clone. So after putting down the severed arm, Kanpū took out the Byakugan from the Otsutsuki Clan, used Impure World Reincarnation, and then collected the owner.

If he wanted the perfect level Byakugan Kekkei Genkai stardust, he needs 49 full-level of Byakugan Kekkei Genkai stardust, and each full-level Byakugan Kekkei Genkai stardust needs six incomplete level Byakugan Kekkei Genkai stars.

So even if Kanpū can succeed every time, it would still take 294 collections, with a total of 98 days.

If only one star can be collected per day, it will take 294 days, and one star every two days means 588 days.

And with Kanpū’s current success rate, it might take more than two years before he can succeed.

‘It's a long and arduous journey.’

After completing today's collection, Kanpū shifted his focus to the severed arm.

The severed arm has been transplanted with Hashirama’s cells, so as long as Shisui puts on this ‘almighty arm’, he will immediately transform into the second version of… Uchiha Obito.

But he needs to think carefully about the origin of this ‘almighty arm’ first.

After spending a few minutes drafting his thoughts, Kanpū climbed back up along the network cable and returned to the Gekko Mansion, where he could finally sleep peacefully.

In the early morning of the next day, Kanpū came to Hokage Tower to meet Minato.

“For you to come to see me so early, it seems like something's up.” Minato arrived at the Hokage's office at 7:30 AM. When he saw Kanpū outside the door, he couldn’t help but said with a smile.

Kanpū said: “Hokage-sama, let's discuss the matter inside.”

Entering the office, Kanpū took out a sealing scroll and took out the glassware containing the severed arm from the scroll.

“This is?” Minato was startled when he saw the severed arm in the glass container.

‘Coming early in the morning with just a severed arm?’

Kanpū placed the glass container on the desk and said seriously: “Hokage-sama, didn't I discover Orochimaru's laboratory in Otogakure last year? This severed arm is what I found in the lab! At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, so I just put it aside.”

Minato’s expression gradually became serious, but he did not interrupt Kanpū and listened quietly to the rest.

“In the recent period, when I was sorting through things, I found it again, so I asked someone to examine it, and the result…” At this point, Kanpū deliberately paused.

“What did you find?” Minato was a little anxious. After all, this severed arm is related to Orochimaru, and Kanpū came over specially so early in the morning, which obviously shows how extremely important this is!

“The result is that this severed arm has been implanted with some kind of terrifying cells!” Kanpū looked solemn, “I suspect it is Shodaime-sama’s cells.”

“Shodaime-sama’s cells?”

Minato was stunned for a moment subconsciously recalling the experimental data on Hashirama’s cells’ transplantation in the taboo data room, and then compared it with the severed arm in front of him, his brows gradually frowned.

“Kanpū, are you suggesting that Orochimaru has mastered the transplant technology of Shodaime-sama’s cells?” Minato asked with an ugly expression.

‘If that's the case, does it mean that Orochimaru has mastered Wood Release through the transplantation of Shodaime-sama’s cells, and was able to create an army of… Tenzo?

Kanpū shook his head and said: “I'm not sure about the specifics. After all, I can’t confirm whether the cells in this arm are Shodaime-sama’s cells or not.”

Minato understood the implication and said: “Then let the Anbu test it.”

There are specific information about Hashirama’s cells in Anbu, so a simple test can confirm it.

Minato immediately called the Anbu Commander, Eagle, and handed the severed arm to him. He then ordered him to immediately conduct the test for Hashirama’s cells on the arm immediately.

“I want to see the results before noon!” Minato said solemnly.

“I understand.” Eagle took the severed arm and immediately disappeared from the office.

Pretending to be curious, Kanpū followed closely behind.

When they arrived at Anbu’s Headquarters, Eagle and Kanpū came to the testing center and immediately began testing the severed arm.

In order to avoid suspicion, Kanpū remained silent throughout the process, allowing Eagle to work freely.

After about four hours or so, the test results came out.

Eagle looked at them and his expression changed drastically: “This arm has been implanted with Shodaime-sama’s cells? Are you kidding me?!”

In the past, Hiruzen and Danzo, even with all the resources of the Anbu and Root under them, couldn't solve the transplantation problem of Hashirama’s cells back then. But now, this severed arm has actually succeeded?

Eagle turned his head and stared at Kanpū with bright and piercing gaze: “Who is it? Who performed the transplant operation on this severed arm?”

Kanpū’s expression turned ugly: “I found it in Orochimaru’s laboratory.”

Eagle’s heart sank upon hearing this.

“Commander, let’s report the results.” Kanpū said heavily.

The two of them immediately rushed to the Hokage’s Office with the arm and the test results.

It was already noon at this time, but Minato hadn't gone out for lunch. He’s been sitting in the office all this time, waiting for the test result.

Seeing Eagle and Kanpū coming in, he quickly stood up from his seat: “How is the test result?”

Eagle said solemnly: “Hokage-sama, we found Shodaime-sama’s cells in the severed arm, and there was no rejection between the arm and the Shodaime-sama’s cells.”

Minato’s face immediately darkened upon hearing this: ‘Orochimaru…’

“Hokage-sama, Shisui’s eyes can be saved.” Kanpū suddenly exclaimed.

‘Shisui’s eyes…’

Minato's gloomy expression was instantly replaced by joy.

‘Kanpū said that Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan have the same origin. As long as the severed arm with Shodaime-sama’s cells is transplanted to Shisui, Shisui will no longer have to worry about blindness, and can freely use the Mangekyo Sharingan unscrupulously, just like Obito!’

‘In other words, Shisui can continuously use the strongest Genjutsu: Kotoamatsukami!’

Minato’s eyes flickered with excitement. Many years ago, he had formulated a crazy plan to collect all the Biju, unify the Shinobi World, and bring peace to every inch of it. But there are many obstacles in this plan, one of which was the issue of peaceful coexistence between Biju and humans.

And now, this problem will no longer exist!
