Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

“Suiton: Suishōha!” (Water Release: Water Colliding Wave)

In a small river near Konoha’s main camp in the Land of Rain, Kanpū stood on the stream, bathed in rain, and his hands are dancing.

Along the outpouring of Chakra, the stream under Kanpū’s feet suddenly became turbulent, setting off a water flow that swirled and rose like a tornado, splashing raindrops all over the sky.

Kanpū frowned when he saw this.

The collection this time was smoother than Kanpū had imagined. After Kosuke taught him by example for half an hour, Kanpū smoothly collected it, but when he used it, he found that the power of this Water Release was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Kosuke stood next to him and exclaimed: “Kanpū, among the people I know, your talent second in Water Release Ninjutsu is only to Second Hokage-sama!”

Kanpū walked to the shore and said with a little hesitation: “Shisou, why do I feel the power of this technique…”

“Hahahaha…”

Kosuke laughed and said, “Does it feel different from what you imagined?”

Kanpū nodded, he knew that whether it was Water Release, Fire Release, the depended on each person’s performance, but this Water Colliding Wave was really… too watery!

His Water Formation Wall can at least form a water wall to resist attacks, but Water Colliding Wave…

For example, let’s say that ten people stand in a row at the front, and Kanpū used Great Dragon Fire Technique, which has B-Rank training difficulty, all of the ten people would be burned to death by the lava-like fire dragon!

But the Water Colliding Wave Kanpū used just now… Let alone people, he believed that even a chicken won’t drown!

‘What a shame, this is one of the signature Water Release of the Nidaime Hokage!’

‘Could it be that the way I collected it was wrong?’

Kosuke didn’t know Kanpū’s psychological drama, so he said with a smile: “Among the Five-Attributes Ninjutsu, Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, and Earth Release are very destructive, even for beginners, as long as they master the Ninjutsu, they can kill people with it, but Water Release Ninjutsu requires constant training to improve its power. It may not be as good as other Ninjutsu in the early stage, but there won’t be much difference in the later stage. Nidaime-sama is the best example!”

This is what he said, but the Water Colliding Wave that couldn’t even drown a chicken still caused an impact on Kanpū.

“Kanpū, don’t be discouraged. Your talent in Water Release is very good. As long as you continue to train unremittingly, there will come a day when your Water Release can match Nidaime-sama’s!”

Kosuke patted Kanpū on the shoulder and cheered him up, “You are still young, no matter what you do, don’t be impatient, understand?”

Kanpū was startled. Looking at Kosuke’s kind eyes, his heart warmed: “Shisou, I understand, thank you for your guidance.”

Kosuke smiled: “Haha, there’s no need to thank me, you are my disciple after all. You and Tabako-chan will be Konoha’s pillars after I died, hahaha.”

“Shisou, don’t say that, you will definitely live to the grand finale.” Kanpū said seriously.

“Grand finale?” Kosuke thought that Kanpū was talking about the end of this war, so he said with a smile, “Of course, I am a veteran of Konoha, I can’t die so early, hahaha.”

The next day, Kosuke wanted to continue teaching Kanpū, but unfortunately, Kanpū has a mission.

After Minato became famous, Rasa sent his men to the Konoha’s main camp to seek alliances.

The main camp sent the news back to the village, and today, there is finally a reply.

Hiruzen sent messengers to appoint Minato to deal with this matter.

Minato then sent someone to notify Kanpū and let him join him.

After the incident of Iwagakure’s Shinobi’s pursuit, with the help of Maika and the others, Kanpū is synonymous with wit, agility and strong execution in Minato’s mind at this time, so if he is not chosen, who else can he choose?

Kanpū received the order, so he had to make an appointment with Kosuke next time.

Kosuke smiled and asked Kanpū and Minato to do a good job. If they can successfully form an alliance with Sunagakure, Konoha will face less pressure in the Land of Rain. This feat is not too big nor too small.

With Kosuke’s guidance, Kanpū feels that he understands some politics!

Hiruzen didn’t choose anyone before, but now he chose Minato to deal with this alliance, making it clear that he wanted to give him the credit.

‘Is Sandaime already determined to support Minato?’

As Kanpū thought of this, he had already arrived at the entrance of the camp, and found that there were two people waiting for him. At first glance, he thought it was Ginkaku and Kinkaku!

Looking closely, the one with golden hair is Minato, and the other with a big silver hair is…

“Kakashi… senpai?” Kanpū was surprised when he saw Kakashi, but soon after, he feels that he is making a fuss about nothing. This is a war period, and even Genin need to go to battlefield, not to mention Kakashi who is already Chunin.

Kakashi is facing Kanpū at the moment, looking at Minato with his drooping eyelids, he stretched out his hand, making a fist, then motioning Kanpū with his thumb, and said: “Minato-sensei, are we waiting for him?”

Minato patted Kakashi’s head, and said with a smile: “Kakashi, Kanpū is now already an excellent Chunin just like you.”

“Chunin?”

Kakashi turned to look at Kanpū with a doubtful expression on his face, “Isn’t this guy Shikuro-senpai’s student? When did he get promoted to Chunin?”

Kanpū’s mouth twitched slightly: “Sorry, but it’s been more than a year since I became Chunin, and…”

And this year was spent in Anbu!

Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Kakashi before he could finish speaking.

“Well…”

Kakashi shrugged, “Follow us closely, don’t act on your own.”

“Yes…” Kanpū responded with a lifeless expression.

“Then, let’s go.”

Minato smiled slightly, and then quickly flickered and disappeared.

Kakashi tapped the ground with the toe of his right foot and said: “Keep up.”

Kakashi’s figure disappeared instantly after he said that.

Kanpū’s lips twitched when he heard this, ‘Stupid arrogant brat, I’ll find a chance to screw your Chidori!

After leaving the camp, the group of three rushed straight to the border of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind.

Sunagakure’s main camp in the Land of Rain is not located deep into the Land of Rain at all, but instead located near the border of the two countries, so that they could advance, retreat and defend stably.

“Kakashi, Kanpū, this alliance is very important to the village, so no matter what you encounter, don’t be arrogant.” Minato still has mental scar caused by Maika and the others, and it didn’t take long for him to hit the road to seriously remind them.

“I understand.” Kanpū responded earnestly.

As for Kakashi, he just nodded casually.

Kanpū looked a little envious when he saw this.

Kakashi being so casual is not disrespecting Minato. As Minato’s disciple, Kakashi and Minato have a very good relationship, so there is no need to care about some etiquette at all, and the way they’re getting along is more natural and harmonious.

Kanpū can’t such thing, so he has to continue to lick him.

o(╥﹏╥)o

On the way, Minato talked to Kakashi from time to time, asking about the status of his other two disciples.

Although Kakashi has always looked down on Obito, he can immediately tell Minato his current situation.

Obito is now on the frontline, but he is in the Kirigakure Battlefield.

And Rin, on the other hand, went north as a Medical-nin to meet the invasion of Kumogakure’s Shinobi.

Kakashi’s talk seems to be good, and he also mentioned that the new batch of graduates of the Academy who were directly assigned to go to the battlefield.

Kanpū’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Kanpū recalled that during the days in Anbu last year, when he met with Anko and the others from time to time, if he remembered correctly, Anko and Tsukasa agreed to apply for early graduation together this year.

‘If that’s the case…’

‘Will Anko get Orochimaru as her teacher like in the original work?’

‘And Tsukasa, did that girl really bring that silly but adorable Shiramaru to the battlefield?’

Kanpū is very worried. As his friends in the ivory tower will finally face a bleak life.
