Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 882: Senjutsu

After leaving Anbu’s Headquarters, Kanp? didn’t feel like doing anything and immediately returned home.

After Kanp? arrived at his home, Hoshino was pleasantly surprised. After all, his son, who had been missing for more than half a year, had returned. Although he had undergone genetic mutation, he had finally come back!

Then, when he learned that Hayate was severely injured and was admitted to the hospital, he was both relieved and sad, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Seeing this, Kanp? immediately patted his chest and reassured his father by pledging to invite Tsunade to heal Hayate, which finally put his minds at ease.

…

Ryuchi Cave.

It is one of the Shinobi World’s Three Holy Lands, located in a remote and deep underground area where few people tread. Yet, for nearly a thousand years, there are still many ambitious Shinobi who have gone to great lengths to find this place in search of Senjutsu. However, the fate of most of these individuals ended up as meals for the three Snake Miko.

When Orochimaru arrived at Ryuchi Cave, he happened to see a Shinobi wearing a Kusagakure’s forehead protector, who was on the verge of collapse because he could not bear the Senjutsu Chakra of the White Snake Sage, and was finally swallowed by Tagorihime.

Orochimaru is not surprise by this, and with a calm face, he crossed Tagorihime and went straight to the massive bronze palace deep within the Ryuchi Cave!

“White Snake Sage.” Orochimaru stepped forward until he reached the deepest part of the bronze palace, looking at the White Great Snake perched on the giant throne!

“Orochimaru, what brings you here?” White Snake Sage opened its yellow eyes, lazily examining Orochimaru's new body.

‘It looks delicious…’ The White Snake Sage hissed.

“Of course I'm here for the Sage Mode.” Orochimaru said with a smile, his face is full of confidence.

“After all these years, you haven't given up yet?” White Snake Sage said slowly, with a hint of teasing in its tone.

Orochimaru was too lazy to explain, and bowed slightly: “Please fulfill my request, White Snake Sage.”

“Very well.”

White Snake Sage never refused such a request, so it extended its snake body and bit Orochimaru's shoulder, injecting a huge amount of Senjutsu Chakra into Orochimaru’s body!

“Urgh!!”

Orochimaru's pupils shrank, and he feels that his body was expanding uncontrollably, as if he would explode at any moment.

After the White Snake Sage released its bite, Orochimaru couldn't stand straight and staggered to the ground.

Then, White Snake Sage summoned Tagorihime and instructed her to take Orochimaru away from the bronze palace.

“My Lord, if Orochimaru fails again, can I eat him?” Tagorihime, who turned into a human form, twisted her slender waist pitifully, looking pitifully at the White Snake Sage on the throne.

“If you can do it.” The White Snake Sage said indifferently.

Orochimaru has been injected with Senjutsu Chakra more than ten times to learn Sage Mode. Although each attempt ended in failure, as Orochimaru has repeatedly been able to use his molting technique to avoid being eroded by Senjutsu Chakra and died!

White Snake Sage assumed that this time is no exception.

Tagorihime pouted discontentedly, then grabbed Orochimaru’s back collar and lifted him out of the bronze palace, and threw him into a nearby cave, leaving him to fend for himself.

As time passed, Orochimaru’s body underwent strange snake-like transformations. His hands and feet are slowly degenerating, and terrifying white snake scales emerge from the surface of his body!

The Senjutsu Chakra injected by the White Snake Sage is eroding his body frantically!

Although Orochimaru’s new body could accommodate any foreign organ, the Senjutsu Chakra, which contains the power of Natural Energy and White Snake Sage, is still too domineering, and even this body began to show signs of collapse!

The various bizarre changes in his body did not escape Orochimaru's sense. He could even keenly feel the tearing pain emanating from every cell deep within his body, but his will was like that of a lofty god, emotionlessly observing the hell on the mortal realm.

After who knows how long, finally, when the erosion of Senjutsu Chakra reached its peak, Orochimaru’s new body finally began to merge with White Snake Sage’s Senjutsu Chakra, little by little.

‘Success!’

A sinister and twisted smile slowly appeared on Orochimaru's face, which is covered with pale snake scales.

……

Konoha Hospital.

Today, Kanp?'s family, as well as Yugao, Inoue, Matsushita, Tabako and the others came together to visit Hayate.

Hayate’s condition is not bad. And in about half a month, he would be able to return home to recuperate. Of course, if he wanted to continue being a Shinobi, he would need Tsunade’s help.

Everyone expressed their concerns for Hayate one after another, with Yugao even holding his hand affectionately. Seeing this, Kanp? couldn't bear the injustice and slipped away.

Leaving the Konoha Hospital, Kanp? headed straight for the Ichigo Hot Springs.

It had been several days since he returned, and he hadn't gone to see Mei yet. He felt that was very inappropriate.

Kanp? reproached himself.

When he arrived at the Ichigo Hot Springs, Kanp? casually entered through the back door and came to the courtyard.

As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw an eye-catching figure.

“Ao?!”
