Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

With the bet made, Kakashi took Sasuke and left the mansion.

“Kanpū-sensei, I will definitely beat that guy Sasuke. Don't worry, hehe.” Naruto ran to Kanpū's side, hands on his hips, looking very pleased with himself.

Kanpū ignored him and began to ponder while stroking his chin.

‘In original work, Sasuke could learn Chidori before the final selection match, so he should be able to do so in this lifetime as well.’

‘To be on the safe side, Naruto still has to master the Rasengan.’

‘When Naruto beats Sasuke, I can give Kakashi a hundred Thousand Years of Death!’

‘With a cheek full of cherry blossoms, scattered on the ground, your smile is the saddest…’

“Kanpū-sensei, Kanpū-sensei…” Seeing Kanpū lost in thought, Naruto shouted loudly.

“What?” Kanpū looked at Naruto.

“Don't say it, don't say it!!” Kyubi’s voice suddenly came urgently.

Naruto was stunned and thought: “Why can’t I say it?”

“Because…” Kyubi didn’t know how to explain it.

“Because of what?” Kanpū also joined in.

“Gekko Kanpū, you bastard, stop eavesdropping on my conversation with Naruto!!!” Kyubi yelled in fear.

“Then, aren't you also eavesdropping on my conversation with Naruto?” Kanpū retorteddisdainfully.

“You! I…” Kyubi was both shocked and furious, but couldn't refute.

“Naruto, continue. What did you learn?” Kanpū asked seriously.

“Rasengan.”

Naruto didn't care about Kyubi, then stretched out his hand, and yelled, “Rasengan!”

After a while, nothing appeared in Naruto's palm.

“Kyubi, where's your hands?” Naruto asked puzzledly.

Kyubi pretended to be dead and didn't respond no matter how much Naruto called.

Naruto scratched his head in confusion and then told Kanpū the process of how he learned the Rasengan without omission and in detail.

In the seal world, Kyubi lay on the ground, his orange-red vertical pupils full of grief and indignation, ‘Naruto, you little bastard, you cooperated with me at the front and then betrayed me at the back!’ R̃�

‘Damn it!!’

After listening to Naruto's account, Kanpū couldn’t help but be shocked, ‘Isn’t this the same as how Naruto use shadow clone to use Rasengan in the original work?’

Kanpū quickly instructed Naruto to use shadow clones to assist in training the Rasengan, and then went to Minato to make a small report of Kyubi’s behavior.

In Hokage’s Office.

After hearing the report, Minato didn't focus much on the Kyubi’s actions but was more concerned about the Rasengan.

“Kanpū, isn't it too dangerous to let Naruto learn the Rasengan now?” Minato felt a little uneasy.

In his opinion, Naruto had an abundance of Chakra and a carefree personality. Once he mastered the Rasengan, Minato believed he would use it in every battle!

Rasengan is a close-range Ninjutsu with great power. While it can kill enemies, it can also be used against oneself if exploited by the enemy!

With this in mind, Minato imagined a scene where Naruto used the Rasengan on an enemy but got kicked in the arm, causing the Rasengan to hit Naruto's own chest.

“Hokage-sama, I understand your concerns, but there's no need to worry.”

Kanpū said with a smile, “Naruto has a huge amount of Chakra, and can create countless shadow clones. Combined with the Rasengan, it can be said that he’s invincible at the same level. So if he still encounters an invincible enemy, whether he has the Rasengan or not makes no difference.”

Minato thought about it and realized it made sense. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: “It seems I was being overly concerned.”

“What do you think about the Kyubi’s small actions, Hokage-sama?” Kanpū quickly asked.

Minato chuckled and said, “Actually, I would be more worried if Kyubi had no actions at all.”

“Why?” Kanpū was puzzled.

“If Kyubi willingly stays in the seal world, then it will only serve as a Chakra source for Naruto, providing limited help.”

Minato explained with a smile, “But if he is not reconciled, he will definitely make small moves, and take the initiative to contact Naruto. By communicating with Naruto, there is a chance for them to become friends, allowing Naruto to truly subdue and use Kyubi for himself!”

‘What you said make so much sense that I can't even argue with it, but I have to comment…’ Kanpū looked at Minato expressionlessly: “Hokage-sama, compared to the Rasengan, you are obviously playing bigger!!!”

“Really?” Minato looked at Kanpū with an innocent and puzzled expression.

“…Goodbye.”

Kanpū teleported back to the mansion, where he saw nearly a hundred Naruto divided into over thirty groups, loudly training the Rasengan in the backyard.

Kanpū's eyes twinkled with an idea, and he said: “Kyubi, Hokage-sama already knows about your little moves.”

“Let him know!”

Kyubi roared angrily, and bared his teeth, “If he dares, he should just kill me, damned humans!!”

Kanpū ignored it and muttered to himself: “Hokage-sama said that as long as you help Naruto master the Rasengan within a month, he will acknowledge your small moves.”

“Acknowledge them? It doesn't matter since I won't help Naruto anyway… Wait, what did you just say?!” Kyubi perked up.

“I won't repeat myself.” Kanpū clasped his hands behind his back, turned, and lay down on the wooden promenade to sleep.

Naruto stood there, blankly listening to the conversation between Kanpū and Kyubi, completely bewildered.

‘Isn’t Rasengan Kanpū-sensei's Ninjutsu?’

‘How could Kyubi know it?’

‘Also, what small moves did the Kyubi do? Why don’t I know?’

As he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Kyubi’s exasperated roar in his mind, “Naruto, you idiot, Rasengan is such a simple Ninjutsu, and you still haven't mastered it after so long! Idiot!!”

‘You dare to insult me?’

Naruto stared in disbelief.

“What are you standing there for? Start practicing from the beginning! Don't think I'll go easy on you; be serious, you fool!!” Kyubi roared angrily with powerful momentum.

“What do you call me, stinky fox?” Naruto yelled back, “Are you planning to rebel?”

“I now have your father and your teacher's approval, so brace yourself!” Kyubi sneered, grinning widely with excitement.

He had been repeatedly used and betrayed by Naruto, and he had long wanted revenge. Now that he finally had a legitimate reason to retaliate, how could he bear it?

Although he has a suspicion of being exploited in this way, for the sake of his own ultimate escape plan, Kyubi decided it was worth enduring a while!

Kyubi laughed heartily, enjoying the situation.

……

On the other end.

Kakashi led Sasuke swiftly through the village, arriving at a small forest behind the Military Police Force’s building.

“Is this where we'll be training, Kakashi?” Sasuke looked around and asked a little excitedly.

‘You’re calling me Kakashi?’

Kakashi felt a bit displeased being addressed so informally, but when he remembered his bet with Kanpū, he calmed himself and said, “Yes, we'll train Chidori here from now on. Now, show me how far you have trained.”

“Okay!”

Sasuke immediately formed hand seals, “Lightning Release: Chidori!”

Chirp chirp chirp…

A piercing bird-like chirping sound echoed as blue lightning emanated from Sasuke's palm, crackling erratically. A few stray bolts even licked at Sasuke's right hand, causing him to grit his teeth and tense up in pain.

“That's enough, I understand.”

Kakashi motioned to Sasuke to disperse Chidori and said, “Judging by your control, this must be your first time practicing Lightning Release Ninjutsu, right?”

Sasuke nodded.

“You have two choices now. First, practice simpler Lightning Release Ninjutsu and gradually increase the difficulty until you reach Chidori. However, this will take longer and you might miss the final selection match of the Chūnin Exams.”

“I choose the second!!” Sasuke shouted immediately.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eye. Then, he warned: “The second method will be very tough and could even be life-threatening.”

Sasuke stared at Kakashi with pride and stubbornness, saying nothing.

“Alright, I understand.” Kakashi’s eyes gleamed with amusement, ‘Perhaps taking this brat as a disciple might be quite interesting after all.’
