Hokage Tower.

Hokage’s Office.

Anbu Commander, Eagle is reporting important matter with Minato.

“Hokage-sama, according to the comparison of the list of Shinobi registered in the village and the list of Shinobi who made contribution in this war, we found more than 900 Shinobi without any contribution.”

Eagle said in low voice, “After investigation, more than 100 Shinobi have retired, and more than 300 Shinobi cannot go to battlefield due to physical reasons.”

Minato’s brows knitted tightly, and asked in disbelief: “The remaining five hundred Shinobi…are they all Root’s Shinobi?”

“That’s not the case. In fact, many Root’s Shinobi have actually received contributions.”

Eagle said, “Danzo-sama led the Root’s Shinobi to enter the Land of Rain to perform missions during the war, but most of these Root’s Shinobi have died.”

Hearing this, Minato asked, “Then, what happened to these five hundred Shinobi?”

“A considerable number of them are the Shinobi from the great Shinobi Clans.” Eagle said.

Minato was a little puzzled: “Didn’t the Shinobi from g clan have already been dispatched?”

“Many of them were still omitted.”

Eagle explained, “For example, Nara Clan, they have a mountain where they grow medicine ingredients and tending the deer, so they need a lot of Shinobi to guard the place, and they can’t all be transferred away. There is also the Uchiha Clan, which not only to stay with the Military Police Force, but also protecting their ancestral land, Naka Shrine, and all other great Clans have similar situations.”

Minato frowned slightly upon hearing this: “It seems that I was thinking wrong.”

At first he thought that the reason Hiruzen asked him to investigate this was to help him find out which ones are Root’s Shinobi, ‘But now, it seems that he’s telling me the… background of the major Shinobi clans?’

Minato took a deep breath and said: “Then, are there also other Shinobi who are not from the great Shinobi clans?”

“There are also some ninjas who refuse to fight because they are tired of war.”

Eagle hesitated, and said with a wry smile, “It’s two of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama.”

“This…”

Minato was not feeling good when he heard this, and said with a bitter smile, “Are there any others?”

“There are nearly two hundred people, and excluding Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama, the rest are scattered around the village and occasionally do missions. Because there are too many people, even Anbu can’t monitor them all.” Eagle said.

Minato narrowed his eyes: ‘Could it be that Sandaime asked me to pay attention to these Shinobi?

“Among these people… is there anyone special?” Minato asked.

“Yes, one of the Shinobi is worth noting.”

Eagle took out a piece of paper and handed it over, “This person entered the Academy at the age of six, and graduated with excellent grades in the same year. He seems to be a genius.”

“Genius?”

Minato took a look at the paper, and his head hurt a little, “Why is there no name and photo?”

“It has been destroyed.” Eagle said, “It should have been done by Danzo-sama.”

“So this genius may be a Root’s Shinobi?”

Minato pondered and said, “Monitor him immediately.”

“Yes.” Eagle nodded, and then asked, “Then, do other people need to be watched too?”

Minato pondered again, and said: “Choose some of them to be monitored, and if there is no problem, immediately withdraw the staffs, remember not to expose ourselves.”

“I understand.”

After the Forest of Death’s experience, Kanpū stopped paying attention, as he felt that the participants of the Chunin Exams this time is really bad. Only Anko is worth watching, and the others were not good. Kanpū is too lazy to watch chickens pecking each other, so he went straight home after completing his own task.

Back to the mansion where he had been away for five days, Kanpū looked at the pond on the right side of the gate and the green bamboo forest on the left, and felt a sense of comfort from inside to outside.

""

But when he thought of the Byakugan information he got from Ueki, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Hiashi, who is next door, is the Main House’s member of Hyuga Clan, and Kanpū didn’t know how much stronger his Byakugan’s ability compared to Ueki. If Hiashi uses Byakugan to peep at his house, he will definitely have a panoramic view of the entire mansion, and even if Hiashi can’t see the color or picture, seeing Chakra’s figure squatting in the toilet is still very embarrassing.

Kanpū feels that he must learn Fuinjutsu, and then decorate his mansion with Fuinjutsu, at that time, he should be able to stop Byakugan’s prying eyes, right?

But when he thought of his Collection Technique would be left to Flying Thunder God Technique, Kanpū became agitated again.

In the past few days in the Forest of Death, Kanpū has not been idle, and he always took out the three pieces of paper to study and collect when he had time, but it was a pity that he kept failing.

“Oh, there are fish.”

Kanpū walked to the pond and found that there are fishes in the water now, and the fishes are gold in color, which is quite eye-catching.

“Big brother! Welcome back!!”

Hayate ran over from the end of the wooden corridor on the right. Seeing Kanpū watching the fish, he immediately exclaimed excitedly, “I went to buy the fishes in the pond with Yugao-chan.”

“…”

Kanpū’s face darkened when he heard this, “I felt that these fishes are so ugly, they should be stewed tonight.”

“Big brother, this is a goldfish, you can’t eat it.” Hayate laughed, and then ran to the green bamboo forest on the right.

“What are you doing?” Kanpū asked.

“Yugao-chan said that she wanted to eat bamboo shoots, so I’ll dig bamboo shoots for her.”

Hayate explained without looking back, and then yelled, “Found it!!!”

Then he squeezed into the small bamboo forest with excitement, before he dug out a few finger-thick bamboo shoots.

“Can these bamboo shoots be eaten?” Kanpū looked at it suspicious.

“It should be edible.” Hayate went in and out and dug up a dozen small bamboo shoots. Then, holding these bamboo shoots, he walked along the bluestone road to the wooden corridor, and then ran along the wooden corridor to the right, and his figure quickly disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor.

Kanpū shook his head helplessly when he saw this. Just as he was about to go in, he heard two people chatting outside the door. One of them was Hoshino, and the other one was very strange. Kanpū didn’t want to pay attention to it at first, but he vaguely heard his father called the other party Hizashi.

‘Hyuga Hizashi?’

‘Neji’s dad?’

Without saying anything, Kanpū turned around to the door and saw Hoshino outside the door and Hiashi who was talking to him… ‘No, it is Hyuga Hizashi.’

Hiashi and Hizashi are twin brothers, so they look the same.

If it weren’t for his father calling him Hizashi just now, Kanpū really wouldn’t be able to detect the difference between the two.

Kanpū smiled amiably, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly discovered that there was a sleeping baby in Hoshino’s arms!

‘Nani!’

‘I’ve only been away for five days, and the two of you gave birth to a stinky brother for me?!’

‘Even if this is a two-dimensional world, you should be serious about it?!’

“Haha, Kanpū, you’re back. This is Hiashi’s younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, call him Uncle Hizashi.” When Hoshino saw Kanpū standing at the door, and immediately said without stopping.

“Uncle Hizashi, I’m Gekko Kanpū.” Kanpū quickly converged his mind and bowed slightly.

“Kanpū, I’ve heard your father talk about you several times. You are really young and promising.” Hizashi praised.

“Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Hizashi.” Kanpū said a shy smile.

“Kanpū, this is Hyuga Neji, the son of Uncle Hizashi.” Hoshino gestured to the sleeping baby in his arms with his chin.

At this moment, Kanpū almost shed tears. ‘You are really my father! Even without knowing that I have the Collection Technique, you still got through the relationship with babies!’

Kanpū tremblingly stretched out his salty pig hand and gently touched Neji’s plump cheek.

“Waa waa!!”

As a result, when his fingertips touched Neji’s cheek, and the baby immediately cried.

Kanpū didn’t care about him, and directly threw a Collection Technique.

The green light cluster in his mind instantly surged.

Kanpū is so excited when he saw this, ‘Is it Byakugan?’

Then Kanpū was taken aback, ‘That’s right, this Neji is just a baby, so besides Byakugan, what else is worth collecting inside his body?!’

Kanpū is shocked!

‘If I use the Collection Technique on a child who has Kekkei Genkai… It turns out I have been using the Collection Technique wrong!!’

Kanpū felt regret as he thought of this!

“Kanpū, you’re hurting Neji.” Hoshino glared at Kanpū in disgust, then hugged Neji and shook him twice. The baby suddenly stopped raining, showing a smile like a fool and drooling.

“It’s not Kanpū’s fault, children are like this.” Hizashi next to him gently said with a smile.

“Ah, I almost forgot that you still have to go to see your brother.”

Hoshino seemed to remember something, and quickly handed over Neji, who is in his arms, to Hizashi.

“Then, I will leave first.” After taking Neji, Hizashi turned and walked towards Hiashi’s house next door.

Kanpū looked at Hizashi’s back with reluctance, and remembered the feeling of Neji’s small cheeks.

“Kanpū, it seems that you like that child Neji.” Hoshino saw Kanpū’s eyes, and said with a chuckle.

Kanpū nodded repeatedly: “I like him, I like it so much! Tou-san, how about bringing Neji home next time?”

The smile on Hoshino’s face gradually stiffened: “Idiot, what stupid things are you talking about?!”

“Uh…”

Kanpū was stunned, and quickly explained, “I mean, take him home to play, no, what I mean is, invite Uncle Hizashi to be a guest at home, and take his child over along the way. That…”

Hoshino’s expression became more and more suspicious as Kanpū spoke.

Kanpū sighed and waved his hand in a dispirited manner: “Take it as I didn’t say it.”

After saying that, Kanpū turned around and entered the door, and then returned to his bedroom which was tens of square meters away in a few flickers.

The Collection Technique thrown at Neji just now unfortunately failed.

Although Neji is still a stinky baby who doesn’t understand anything, and just know about eating, drooling, and crying at every turn, the child’s emotions are more intuitive. Since Kanpū made him cry, how high is the probability of successful collection?

‘How about I brought some candy next time?’

‘Children like to eat candy!’

‘But Neji should be less than a year old, can he eat sweets?’

‘I should ask Kaa-san later.’

While his thoughts were flying, he had already taken out the three pieces of paper, and subconsciously threw the Collection Technique on one of them.

The green light cluster in his mind surged again, and then a light blue dot was ejected.

When Kanpū recovered his thoughts, he realized that he had successfully collected 1/3 of the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Kanpū is happy, but at the same time, he also felt regretful!

‘If I threw the Collection Technique at the Flying Thunder God Technique’s scroll just now, wouldn’t I already collect the Flying Thunder God Technique directly?’

Kanpū gnashed his teeth, ‘Hyuga Neji, it was all your fault, you stinky baby!’
