Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

“Big brother, happy birthday!”

After everyone sat down, Hayate couldn’t wait to take out a piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to Kanpū.

Kanpū smiled and said: “Hayate, I told you that you don’t need to prepare anything.”

Kanpū reluctantly took the cloth from Hayate’s hand and opened it. He then saw a string of hand beads inside.

‘It’s just that… Why does this string of hand beads look so familiar?’

Kanpū fell into contemplation, countless pictures flashed messily in his mind, and finally, it was fixed on Shisui’s birthday. Kanpū’s felt numb as he remembered it!

On Shisui’s birthday, Kanpū spent fifty ryō on the street to buy two hand beads, one for Shisui as a birthday present, and one for Hayate who is at home.

However, he didn’t expect that this string of hand beads actually came back.

Kanpū can’t help but sigh at the impermanence of the world!

“Big brother, do you like it?” Hayate looked at him expectantly.

“I like it, I am very moved, thank you, Hayate.”

Kanpū silently wrapped the hand beads in cloth again and put them in his pockets.

When the red bean paste is hot, the group of nine people officially started eating.

Half an hour later, the food that everyone brought have all disappeared, and in the end, there is only a mess of garbage left.

“Fatty, I’ll leave the rest to you.” Kanpū looked at the trash all over the ground and subconsciously looked at Fatty.

“Why me?”

Fatty was confused, and asked.

“Because, you’re the one who cleaned up the trash last time, right, Shisui?” Kanpū looked towards Shisui.

Shisui nodded subconsciously.

It’s just that when he nodded, Fatty turned depressed: ‘I didn’t expect that even Shisui would treat me like this…’

The flesh on Fatty’s cheeks trembled slightly. Resisting the grievances in his heart, he began to clean up the trash on the ground.

Seeing this, Hayate hurriedly rushed over to help.

“Thank you Hayate, you and your big brother are completely different.” Fatty was a little moved.

“Why?” Hayate asked strangely while helping.

“Because that guy always…”

Fatty wanted to say that Kanpū was bullying himself, but wouldn’t it be shameful to say so?

‘Forget it, let’s save some face for that guy.’

By the time the trash was cleaned up, the sun had already set, a few stars twinkled in the gray sky, and the forest breeze blowing from the depths of Senju Park also brought some coolness.

“It’s almost time to go home,” Anko said.

“It’s getting darker too fast.” Tsukasa looked at the sky, and looked at Shisui with some reluctance.

“Because it’s almost winter.” Iruka shrank his shoulders and said, “Speaking of which, it’s just a little more than a month before the New Year.”

In Naruto World, there’s no New Year’s Eve, so the “New Year” referred by Iruka refers to is the last day of the year, which is December 31.

Of course, there will be holidays during the New Year, and there will be three days for some of the Shinobi, but the Academy will have a half-month holiday, which is one week before and after December 31. It is an annual holiday.

As for winter vacation, it is from the end of February to the end of March.

Therefore, the Academy has three vacations, namely annual vacation, winter vacation, and summer vacation.

Think about it this way, it’s not bad to spend four or five years at the Academy.

After returning home with Hayate, Kanpū received another birthday gift from Keiko: A string of wooden beads.

is exactly the same as the string of wooden beads that Keiko gave to Hayate.

Kanpū didn’t even have to guess, it must be fifty for two bunches bought from a street stall, maybe it was from the same stall he bought!

‘As expected of my own mother!’

Kanpū didn’t want to wear it, but due to Keiko’s majesty, Kanpū brace himself and wore it for two days. When Keiko was transferred from the day shift to the evening shift, Kanpū will decisively take off the wooden beads.

******

The days that followed became more and more dull. Kanpū read notes in the morning, collected theoretical knowledge, and exercised his body in the afternoon. At night, he will train Body Revival Technique, refine Chakra, and train Body Flicker Technique. Occasionally, Inoue and Matsushita would bring some crayfish, and from time to time, there will be information from the frontline to inform who died, and who are injured again. Fortunately, both Kanpū and Hayate’s fathers are still active on the frontline.

Time passed quietly, and unconsciously, it was already December 23rd, and this day was also the beginning of the Academy’s New Year Holiday.

“Students, the New Year Holiday will last until January 7th. And on 8th the next year, everyone has to come to the Academy on time for class, understand?”

Yu looked at the bronzes who were gradually restless below, shook his head and laughed, “Okay, then let’s start the holiday!”

“Oh oh!”

“Holiday!”

“Come on, let’s go shopping together!”

The restless bronzes can’t wait to rush out of the classroom to welcome the wonderful holiday.

Anko and the others have also run to the door, and they are waving to Kanpū and Iruka.

“You should go first, Iruka.”

Kanpū looked at Yu who was still on the podium and turned to Iruka.

“You… you don’t really want to apply for early graduation, right?” Iruka was a little shocked, “Although you have read senior’s notes for more than a month, but…”

“You are reluctant to let me leave?” Kanpū joked, and then said with a smile, “Okay, just go, don’t make Anko and the others wait too long, don’t wait for me. I’ll send Hayate home later.”

“Okay.” Iruka sighed, got up and walked towards Anko and the others.

Soon, only Kanpū and Yu were left in the classroom.

Yu looked at Kanpū strangely, and said, “Kanpū, aren’t you going home yet? I’m going to close the door.”

“Yu-sensei, in fact, I’m staying here because I want to tell you something.” Kanpū got up and walked to the podium.

“What’s the matter?” Yu asked.

“I want to… apply for early graduation!” Kanpū said slowly but firmly.

“Early… what did you say?!”

Yu’s expression changed, and his expression gradually became serious.

“I want to apply for early graduation.” Kanpū said again.

Yu looked at Kanpū, and after a while, he shook his head and said: “Sorry, I can’t agree to your application!”

After saying that, Yu turned around and walked out.

“Sensei, can you give me a reason for your rejection?” Kanpū said.

Yu stopped, turned around and looked towards Kanpū with a calm expression.

Yu knows that Kanpū had mastered the three basic techniques, and his Ninja Tools’ throwing skill is also very good. Even his small Chakra Reserve seems to be growing every day. Yu thought that if he refused Kanpū’s application, it would make him flustered and exasperated, or even fly into rage, but his calm reaction surprised him.

But even so, Yu did not want to change his mind.

So he smiled and said: “Kanpū, you are only in the second year, and there are still a lot of theoretical knowledges you need to learn. Even if you think that theoretical knowledge is useless, but…”

“I’ve finished my studies.”

Kanpū smiled, “I have already completed the six years of theoretical knowledges of the Academy.”

That’s right, during this period of time, Kanpū finally collected all the contents of the 38 notes, and except for some overlapping contents, Kanpū has collected a total of twenty-four blue light dots, which include tracking, anti-tracking, trap creation, information gathering, geometry, etc. All of these theoretical knowledges were poured into Kanpū’s consciousness.

Now, he is a model student, not just in name only, but also in reality!

Yu’s heart skipped a beat: “Are you telling the truth?”

“Of course, Yu-sensei, if you don’t believe me, you can test me at any time.”

Kanpū said with confidence, “It doesn’t matter if it is the first year’s theoretical knowledges or sixth grade’s theoretical knowledges.”

Yu’s eyes became slightly solemn.

“Yu-sensei, I know that my talent is definitely not comparable to that of Shisui, but because of this, I can’t waste time! Therefore, I finished six years of the Academy’s theoretical knowledges in advance, so that I become a stupid bird to fly first, because only in this way will I have a chance to catch up with other outstanding and talented students in the future!”

As he said that, Kanpū unconsciously showed a sad expression, and his eyes were full of melancholy, “Iruka, Anko, Tsukasa… The thought that I will be separated from so many good friends makes me very sad too, but…”

“Since you are sad, then just don’t apply for it.” Yu said quietly.

Kanpū’s words can’t be said anymore.

The two pair of eyes are staring at each other on the podium, after a while, Yu nodded and said: “I understand, when the holiday is over, I will give you a test paper, if you can get it 90 points in the test, I will agree with your application!”

“Thank you, Yu-sensei!”
