Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

"Step aside."

Facing the Konoha gatekeepers blocking the way, Deva Path Pain commanded expressionlessly.

"Who are you? What's your purpose for coming to Konoha?" Izumo asked warily, moving next to Kotetsu while secretly pulling out a signal flare. If these Missing-nin made any suspicious moves, he would release the signal to call for reinforcements immediately.

"Purpose?"

Kisame, standing on the side, grinned, "Of course, we're here for the Biju collected by your Konoha."

'Biju?'

Izumo felt the deep malice emanating from the other side and immediately released the signal flare.

Shiu~~

Boom!

Konoha's Anbu's Headquarters.

Urgent knocking rang on the door of Anbu Commander's office.

"What's wrong?" Eagle asked with squinted eyes.

"Commander, there's an enemy invasion signal in the sky!" An Anbu replied.

'Enemy invasion?'

Eagle's heart sank.

'Yondaime-sama had gone to attend the Five Kage Summit and hadn't returned yet, and now an invasion…' Eagle stood up sharply and ordered: "Call all the teams immediately!"

"Yes!"

At the same time.

The Military Police Force and the Jonin Team also acted immediately, gathering their subordinates and heading to the village's entrance.

"Hey, hey, is it really okay to let Konoha gather their Shinobi like this?"

When Deidara saw the signal flare, he complained discontentedly, "I still think a surprise attack would be better. Hmm!"

"No, let them gather. This way, they can truly feel despair." Deva Path Pain said calmly.

"Despair? Just with you ten?"

Kotetsu sneered, and after exchanging a glance with Izumo, they simultaneously launched an attack on Deva Path Pain.

"Twin Fang Slash!" Izumo and Kotetsu unleashed their combined finishing move!

But…

"Shinra Tensei!"

Boom!!

A powerful repulsive force suddenly swept out from Deva Path Pain's hands, spreading out in a visible ripple!

The two gatekeepers were like flies, blown away helplessly by the storm, slamming into the Konoha's Gate heavily!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The two of them had very tacit understanding and spat blood at the same time.

"So strong!"

"You are definitely not a nameless person, who are you?"

The two helped each other to stand up, then looked at Deva Path Pain with great apprehension.

"Ah, ah, I hate small fry like you the most. I'll let you die under my art!" Deidara took out a handful of explosive clay grasshoppers and casually threw them at the two. 𝑅α₦ỘꞖĚṧ

"What is this?" Izumo frowned.

"Whatever it is, don't let it get close!" Kotetsu shouted nervously, and then thrown out kunai and shuriken at the same time.

But these grasshoppers jumped and hoped like living creatures, and they agilely dodged Kotetsu's kunai and shuriken. When they were about two meters away from the two, Deidara shouted coldly, and the grasshoppers emitted a blinding light.

"Watch out!" Izumo shouted as he grabbed Kotetsu and quickly dived to the side.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Amid a series of explosions, shockwaves rolled out, and the scorching flames instantly consumed the Konoha's Gate, burning fiercely and climbing high into the sky!

"What's going on?"

"Why are there explosions?"

"Who are those people outside? Are they the Shinobi from the enemy country?"

The civilians near the village's entrance retreated in panic, fearing the battle between Shinobi would affect them.

"Kotetsu, are you okay?" Izumo anxiously asked, looking at Kotetsu, whom he had shielded.

Although he had tackled Kotetsu Hagane before the explosion, the shockwave still affected them, causing them to roll on the ground for a dozen meters before stopping.

"I… cough cough, I'm fine, you're pressing on me." Kotetsu said with flushed face.

"Sorry, sorry." Izumo quickly got up and helped his close friend to his feet.

"These guys aren't something we can handle, Izumo. Let's wait for reinforcements!" Kotetsu said while panting.

"Okay." Izumo wasn't a brainless Shinobi, so he immediately found a hiding spot upon hearing this.

…

"Let's go!"

Outside the village, Deva Path Pain stepped forward, walking through the burning Konoha's Gate arrogantly, with the others following in a single file.

Just as the group entered Konoha, the reinforcements the two called arrived!

"This ends here."

Several Military Police Force's Shinobi patrolling in the vicinity rushed over, throwing kunai, shuriken, and senbon at the group of ten.

"Leave it to me!"

Wind Release: Pressure Damage!

Kakuzu sneered as he took a step forward and then he opened his mouth to exhale a violent gust of wind.

The wind howled like a blade, slicing through the ground and lifting dust. The ninja tools in the air were instantly blown back at an even faster speed, shooting towards the Military Police Force's Shinobi.

'What?'

Startled, the Military Police Force's Shinobi quickly dodged to the sides, avoiding the wind and ninja tools.

"Back in the day, I fought the Shodaime Hokage for a day and a night without a clear victor. Now… there isn't a single Shinobi in Konoha who can take my technique. Sigh, Konoha is getting worse every year." Kakuzu looked the flustering Military Police Force's Shinobi and said with a sigh.

Kisame, Deidara, and Sasori simultaneously turned his head and glanced sideways at him.

"Where is the Konoha's Anbu's Headquarters?" Deva Path Pain ignored Kakuzu's boasting and asked directly.

"I know." Kakuzu proudly pointed in a direction, "It's…"

Before he finished speaking, over a hundred masked Shinobi in Anbu's uniform charged out from the direction Kakuzu pointed.

Leading them was none other than Anbu Commander, Eagle!

Eagle sprinted towards the village's gate, the wind whistling past his ears, seemingly foreboding something.

Gradually, Eagle could see the burning Konoha gates and the group of people in black cloaks with red clouds pattern beneath the gate.

'Black cloaks with red clouds pattern?!'

Eagle's face changed greatly, 'Akatsuki?!'

'What a joke, Akatsuki actually dared to invade Konoha?!'

As he closed the last hundred meters, Eagle finally saw the faces of the leading individuals, especially those strange, circle-patterned eyes!

'That's…'

Eagle's pupils shrank, 'There's no mistake, it's Rinnegan!'

Eagle quickly pulled out a signal flare and launched it into the sky.

Boom…

The loud explosion instantly spread throughout Konoha!

Hokage Tower.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is temporarily exercising Hokage's authority in Minato's absence, rushes up to the rooftop, looking towards the source of the explosion with an ugly face.

"That's…" On the rooftop of the office building next to the Hokage Tower, Fugaku also rushed up.

Hiruzen's expression was solemn as he nodded, "That's the highest-level invasion signal from the Anbu. It seems that an incredible character has come in."

Fugaku felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.@@novelbin@@

'A powerful enemy invaded?'

'Why did it have to be when Namikaze Minato and Gekko Kanpū were both away?'

'It can't be Orochimaru again, can it?'

Fugaku squinted his eyes and asked, "Sandaime, what do you plan to do?"

"We must try to stop the enemy at the village's gate and absolutely cannot let the battle spread to the civilians!" Hiruzen's eyes were sharp.

"I think it's better to inform Yondaime of what's happening here." Fugaku said.

When he heard this, Hiruzen frowned slightly.

"I know Yondaime left a messenger toad in the office." Uchiha Fugaku said.

"Yondaime should be at the Five Kage Summit at this time…"

Hiruzen pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's confirm the identity of the invading Shinobi first before making a decision."
