Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 827: You Seriously Stepped Back?

Night falls.

Tonight, the bright moon is high in the sky, the stars are shining brightly, and the enchanting moonlight is irresistible. That’s why Kanpū can’t help but touch the back door of Ichigo Hot Spring.

Kanpū, who hates to walk through the back door, turns, jumps, and closes his eyes to enter over the wall.

Not surprisingly, Mei is sitting alone on the rooftop to admire the moonlight tonight, but she is not drinking.

Fortunately, Kanpū came with sake and crayfish.

So, only when a man takes the initiative will there be a story.

Kanpū jumped onto the rooftop with big bags in hands.

Mei glanced at him and asked: “Why didn’t you come these past few days?”

Kanpū’s heart trembled, ‘This seems to be an ordinary question, but it is actually cryptic complaint!’

“Gluck, gluck, gluck, gluck…” Mei finished a bottle of sake.

‘Well, that’s an ordinary question.’

‘There's nothing more to say, just drink!’

After some time, Mei is faintly drunk, and her apricot eyes gazed at the starry sky above her. Then, she said softly: “Kanpū, do you think I can only return to the village after he dies?”

‘He?’

‘Elder Genji?’

‘It seems that my instigation has played some role.’

Kanpū fell silent… then solemnly said: “Although Elder Genji is in charge of Kirigakure, he cannot become the Godaime Mizukage at his age, so don't worry. If you wait for another twenty years, you will be able to return to the Kirigakure in glory.”

Mei gave him a contemptuous look, ‘Twenty years?’

‘In twenty years, I will also be old, and the younger generation will have grown up. Even if I go back at that time, I won't be able to accomplish much!’

Kanpū peeled her a crayfish and handed it over, then Mei bit on Kanpū’s finger fiercely.

With Kanpū’s god-like reflexes, at the moment he was bitten… he felt the softness in Mei’s mouth.

‘His~’

‘Yamete!!’

Mei also seemed to realize, her beautiful face flushed with embarrassment, and she glared at Kanpū angrily.

‘What are you staring at? If you dare to bite me again…’ Kanpū gently said: “It’s late at night, you should rest early. Do you want me to help you warm the bed?”

“Get lost!”

“Okay~”

……

Time passed, and it was the weekend again in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning on this day.

Kanpū was suddenly awakened by a memory in his sleep, it was from the shadow clone that went on the mission with the sixth team.

Although this mission took a week, it is not difficult. Kanpū sorted out his memories, then turned over and continued to sleep, but it was a pity that Keiko’s grandson came.

Knock knock knock!

“Kanpū-sensei, I’m here!”

Naruto, dressed in Pinyu’s Wardrobe, rushed in happily. As soon as he arrived, he threw off the quilt and exclaimed with great happiness, “Kanpū-sensei, quickly take me to the special training!”

Kanpū tried his best to open his eyes: “Naruto, today is another day full of energy.”

“It's because I'm in a good mood, hahaha.”

Naruto laughed with a smug posture, “Kanpū-sensei, do you know? Ever since I defeated Sasuke, everyone in class looks at me differently!”

Kanpū’s eyes lit up: “Have you put your hands inside?”

Naruto quickly put both hands in pockets on his hips, and then nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice: “Well, I insert them into the pockets every time!”

‘Moreover, the effect is especially good. Everyone secretly praised me as the second Sasuke.’

‘In time, I will surely replace Sasuke and become the Prince Charming in Sakura’s heart!’

Thinking of this, Naruto, with both hands in pockets, couldn't help but tilt his head at a forty-five-degree angle.

Kanpū carefully examined him, and for some reason, he couldn't help but feel that Naruto was not as proficient and natural as Sasuke.

After being dragged up by Naruto, Kanpū called Karin and Hinata as usual, and the group of four people went straight to the river.

……

Uchiha Clan Head’s mansion.

After changing back to his own clothes at the Anbu’s Headquarters, Itachi immediately rushed home.

After this mission, Itachi got two days off. He had calculated everything, one day will be given to Sasuke and one day for Izumi. However, he didn’t expect that he would be called to the study by Mikoto as soon as he got home, who told him about the serious problem Sasuke was facing!

Hearing Mikoto’s explanation, Itachi’s brows tightly knit: “Mother means that Sasuke is very arrogant at the Academy, looks down on other students, and has always been showing off in front of his classmates and teachers?”

“This is what Sasuke's homeroom teacher, Iruka-sensei, told me personally. Itachi, Sasuke listens to you very much. I hope you can guide Sasuke correctly and help him get rid of the psychological misunderstanding formed by the pride of clan.” Mikoto said.

“I understand.” Itachi nodded slightly.

But in his heart, he didn't believe that his brother, who is so innocent, pure, kind, and cute, could be the arrogant person described by his mother.

‘There must be a problem somewhere!’

Itachi secretly decided to follow Sasuke to the Academy tomorrow.

‘But then, I couldn't accompany Izumi.’

‘Indeed, my younger brother is more important to my…’ Itachi sighed silently.

At this moment, Sasuke, who heard the movement in the study, came over.

Sasuke pretended to pass by the study, pretended to accidentally see Itachi, and then, acting as if he had been wronged, snorted heavily before running towards the backyard.

Itachi hurriedly ran over: “Sasuke, are you angry with me?”

“Big brother, you lied to me again!”

Sasuke didn't want to talk to him, but after facing Naruto's arrogant fox face every day for a week, it is unknown how much anger he had accumulated. When he saw Itachi at this time, he couldn’t help but yell loudly, “You didn't go on a mission at all. You went to accompany that woman, Uchiha Izumi. You actually abandoned me and spent a week with that woman!!”

“…”

Hearing this, Itachi's face was full of black question marks, “Sasuke, what are you talking about?”

“I've seen it all!” Sasuke yelled, “I saw your team leader, Gekko Kanpū with my own eyes, he has never left the village, so you couldn't have left the village for a mission!”

Itachi’s expressionless face showed a hint of helplessness: ‘My stupid little brother, you just don't know how shrewd my team leader is…’

“Sasuke, you misunderstood. Actually…” Itachi wanted to explain, but Sasuke obviously believed his own eyes more. He interrupted him angrily, and shouted, “Big brother, do you want to argue again?”

“I'm not arguing. Sasuke, sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth.” Itachi said.

“Okay, then Big brother, come with me!” Sasuke turned and jumped over the wall.

Itachi, for fear that his little brother might have an accident, quickly followed along,

The two brothers rushed all the way, and an hour later, they found Naruto's group training along the river.

Sasuke immediately pointed to Kanpū’s back, said with grief and indignation: “Big brother, today, a week ago, I saw your team leader here after you left. Do you have anything else to say!”

Itachi reached out to touch Sasuke’s head, but he avoided him.

Itachi was shaken by this: ‘Sasuke… You seriously stepped back?’

Itachi’s heart was hurt to the extreme by Sasuke’s action.

“Oh, it’s Itachi and Sasuke.”

Kanpū heard the noise from behind and looked back, then greeted with a smile, “Would you like to train together?”

“Haha, Sasuke, this incompetent subordinate actually came!” When Naruto heard Sasuke’s name, he immediately got excited, “Could it be that you wanted to defeat me, so you specially came to peek at my special training?”

‘Bastard!!’

Sasuke was so angry that he gritted his teeth: “Stop flattering yourself! Naruto!!!”

“Captain Kanpū.” Itachi bowed slightly and saluted, “In fact, this time we came here because Sasuke had a question.”

“Question, what question?” Kanpū asked strangely.

“Captain Kanpū, when we went out of the village for the mission seven days ago, Sasuke said that he saw you here, that…” Itachi looked Kanpū hesitantly.

Kanpū immediately understood and didn't want to make it difficult to Itachi, so he takes the initiative to explain: “There is indeed such a thing. This guy Naruto insisted that I stay here to train with him, there was nothing I could do, so I had to…”

‘Hmm…’

‘Should I say that I left my main body or the shadow clone?’

‘Uchiha Itachi, you facial paralyzed face, don’t just stand there, give me an expression already!!’

Itachi didn’t give him anything in the end.

So Kanpū randomly chose: “I have to leave a shadow clone here to accompany Naruto to train.”

The basis for this random choice was: Kanpū does not like to tell the truth.

As soon as he said this, Naruto and Karin simultaneously rolled their eyes, which happened to form a white line along with Hinata’s eyes.

At the same time, Itachi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Sasuke, and said: “Sasuke, I didn’t lie to you, I…”

“Big brother… …”

Sasuke looked at Itachi with grief and indignation, and questioned, “Why? Why didn’t you leave a shadow clone to accompany me to train? Why? Why didn't you leave one?!”

Itachi’s facial expression gradually turned strange: ‘Are you serious, Sasuke?’

‘Back then, you firmly said that you didn't need me to leave a shadow clone to train with you, and now you…’

Itachi felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
