Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu-Chapter 1012: The Truth Uncovered By Yondaime Raikage

"After being captured by this man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, I was controlled by his Sharingan. The next thing I remember is appearing in Konoha."

Hachibi began recounting its history of being manipulated, "Uchiha Madara made me fight Uzumaki Kushina, Isobu, and Namikaze Minato. It didn't take long for Konoha's Shinobi, Gekko Kanpū to arrive and used the Uzumaki Clan's Fuinjutsu to seal me. Eventually, I ended up in this man's body."

Due to Shisui's Kotoamatsukami's cooldown period, Hachibi had not been brainwashed. Because of this, the Fuinjutsu Minato placed on Konoha Hachiro, also known as Mizusawa, was extremely resilient, completely isolating Hachibi from the outside world. Therefore, it was unaware of subsequent events.

After listening to Hachibi's narrative, everyone present exchanged glances.

Yondaime Raikage furrowed his brows tightly, "Gyuki, are you saying… the person who captured you was not a Konoha's Shinobi?"

Hachibi pondered for a moment and said, "Although that person claimed to be Uchiha Madara, I'm certain he wasn't. I remember Uchiha Madara's pupil power, and it was completely different from that man's!"

"Could it be Shisui of the Body Flicker? "Yondaime Raikage asked suspiciously.

In his heart, the biggest suspect in capturing Killer B is still Konoha B. And he was more inclined to think this whole situation might be a ploy by Konoha!

Hachibi shook its head, "A few days ago, Namikaze Minato's seal inexplicably loosened, so I took the opportunity to escape. You know what happened after that."

Samui's heart skipped a beat, "You fought with Shisui of the Body Flicker, and his pupil power…"

Hachibi responded solemnly, "His pupil power was completely different from the person who captured B."

At this time, Yondaime Raikage had a sudden realization, "Could it be…Uchiha Obito?"

He recalled the man with his eyes gouged out during the Five Kage Summit. Back then, Minato had pointed out that this was the man who had captured Killer B.

"Wait!" Hachibi recalled, "During the battle with Kushina, I did hear her calling that Uchiha Madara 'Obito'."

"Raikage-sama, if my guess is correct, this is indeed a trap!"

Samui had countless thoughts colliding in her mind, and she quickly sorted out the whole sequence of events.

She quickly said, "B-sama was first captured by Uchiha Obito, who then used Genjutsu to control Gyuki-sama to attack Konoha. After the operation failed, Namikaze Minato sealed Gyuki-sama into Mizusawa's body. The reason why Mizusawa appeared in the border of the Land of Fire and Land of Hot Water must have been orchestrated by someone who infiltrated Konoha to extract him, aiming to incite a war between the two great countries!"

"Who would want to provoke conflict between us and Konoha?" One of the sealing team's members unable to stay silent and asked.

Samui replied, "Most likely Orochimaru!"

"Orochimaru?" Everyone was puzzled.

Samui analyzed, "Mizusawa mentioned he entered Konoha before the finals of the Chunin Exams, which means he participated in Orochimaru's Konoha Crush Plan! This explains why we didn't receive any information about the battle between Gyuki-sama and Sanbi. It's because Orochimaru was invading Konoha with Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Land of Sky, and Otogakure. Konoha must have been in chaos at that time, and if Gyuki-sama and Sanbi were fighting outside Konoha, no one would have noticed the battle between them!"

Hachibi recalled, "Although my memory is a bit hazy, but the place where I fought with Namikaze Minato, Kushina, Isobu and Gekko Kanpū fought was indeed outside Konoha, and there were almost no people around."

'Look, I'm correct…' Samui's spirit was lifted, "Raikage-sama, regarding Gyuki-sama being arrested, apart from Konoha's Shinobi, only Orochimaru knew about it, so Mizusawa must have been taken to the border by Orochimaru! He wants to use us to weaken Konoha's strength! We must not fall for this trap!"

Yondaime Raikage remained silent with an irritated expression. If the person who captured and killed B was a Konoha's Shinobi, he could march together with his army to avenge Bi!

'However, if the culprit is really Uchiha Obito…' Obito has been caught by Minato, and had his eyes gouged out. Death would have been better than living like that. So even if he wanted to avenge B, he would be just killing a helpless cripple. How could he vent his intense hatred and rage that way?

As for Orochimaru, although his motives were impure, at least he 'helped' return Hachibi to their village. From this perspective, he should at least thank Orochimaru!

After thinking for a while, Yondaime Raikage impatiently waved his hand and said, "Wait for C's investigation results to come out!"

If Mizusawa is not Kirigakure's Shinobi, then all previous speculations will have to be overturned!

"Yes!" Samui responded loudly.

About ten days later, C finally returned with information about Mizusawa.

"Raikage-sama, Mizusawa did not lie. He is indeed a Kirigakure's Shinobi! This is his detailed information." C handed over a form.

Because Mizusawa is already considered 'dead' in Kirigakure, obtaining the information was relatively simple and did not take much effort.

Yondaime Raikage opened the form, and the first thing he saw was a close-up photo of Mizusawa. The information section also listed the injuries he had suffered.

Yondaime Raikage immediately had C verify the scars on Mizusawa's body.

After a while, C returned.

Yondaime Raikage solemnly asked, "Is it confirmed?"

"Yes, I have checked the scars on Mizusawa's body according to the information. There are no discrepancies." C replied.

"…Leave me alone for a moment. C, you may go." After Yondaime Raikage drove C away, he sat weakly on his large office chair, letting out a long sigh.

'According to the information currently available, B was indeed captured and killed by Uchiha Obito, and had nothing to do with Konoha.'

'If I insist on blaming Konoha, it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable. After all, they had carelessly sealed Gyuki into Mizusawa's body.

'But if I started a war with Konoha, wouldn't I be falling into Orochimaru's trap?'

Yondaime Raikage felt as if he were entangled in an invisible web, restricted in his actions.

And the most painful thing for him was that B was truly dead.

...

Time passed.

Underground in a certain country.

After more than twenty days of effort, Akatsuki's members finally completed the sealing of Rokubi and Nanabi.

"It's finally over!!" Hidan stretched out and rubbed his hands. At this time, he couldn't wait to kill someone to offer to his Jashin-sama.

"Pain, next are Konoha's Hachibi and Kyubi, do you have any plans?" Hyōketsu asked.

"Wait." White Zetsu suddenly chuckled and said, "Pain, everyone, I have information about Hachibi."

"Stop wasting time, just say it." Konan ordered coldly.

"Yes." White Zetsu said with a smile, "I just received news that Hachibi has returned to Kumogakure."

"Is the news reliable?" Pain asked expressionlessly.

"Of course it is reliable!" White Zetsu replied loudly.

"Very well." Pain glanced around at everyone and coldly said, "Everyone, head to Kumogakure and capture Hachibi!"

"Yes!!!"
