Chapter 110 Confess And Ask For Leniency

When Kanpū came back from Shinichi's house, it was already dark, but luckily, it was time for dinner.

After training for the whole afternoon and had a spar with Shinichi, Kanpū was physically exhausted, so he couldn't control his image when he was eating.

"Kanpū-chan, eat slowly."

Keiko asked worriedly, "What have you been up to these days? Your physical strength is consumed so much, and the last time, your coat…"

Kanpū swallowed the food in his mouth, hesitated, but decided to confess and asked for leniency.

"Kaa-chan, in fact, I applied for early graduation, and in the past few days, I have been training in actual combat, so my physical strength is a consumed by a lot." Kanpū said.

"Early graduation?"

Keiko was stunned, "What are you talking about?! You're only in the second year, and your talent… how could it be?"

Hayate, who was next to him, was also extremely shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately exclaimed: "Sugoi!! Big brother!!! You actually graduated early, big brother, you are a genius!!!"

"Shut up!"

Keiko glared at the screaming Hayate, then looked at Kanpū with a serious face, "Kanpū-chan, what the hell is going on?"

'What kind of talent does my son have, that I, who is his mother, doesn't know?'

After all, even Hoshino, who is a Jōnin, has given up on Kanpū's talent. So how could Kanpū graduate early?

Kanpū that it was time to show his acting skills. He sat in a hurry and said seriously: "Kaa-chan, I admit that my talent in Kenjutsu is average, but you can't deny my talent in other aspects just because of this! In fact, I have mastered the three basic techniques, and Ninja Tools' throwing, moreover, my Chakra Control is among the best in the Academy! And these days, I often train with my classmates in actual combat, and I am improving every day. Now, I am already one of the very best students in the Academy, the current me has already been reborn, and I am not the me of the past! Even my head teacher, Yu-sensei, also praised me, saying that I am diligent and able to make up for my shortcomings, and that I am a hardworking genius!!"

Kanpū's mouth is running without stopping like a train.

"Big brother, sugoi!!"

Hayate immediately licked him.

Keiko turned her head and glanced at Hayate expressionlessly, instantly making Hayate calm down.

'Aunt Keiko is so terrifying…' Hayate is about to be glared into having a psychological shadow.

"Kanpū-chan…"

Keiko looked at her serious-looking son, and the emotions in her heart are very complicated!

She didn't know whether what Kanpū said was true or false, and she wasn't worried that he was lying to her, but in case that what he said it was true, he would graduate early and become a Shinobi… When there's still a war outside!

Keiko was so distraught that she couldn't eat anymore.

Kanpū wanted to say something else, but Keiko didn't want to hear it anymore. She got up and walked towards the entrance. With a heavy sound of the door closing, Keiko actually… ran away from home?

Kanpū is a little stunned when he saw this.

"Big brother, sugoi!!"

As soon as Keiko left, Hayate immediately became active, and he approached Kanpū and said next to him, "Big brother, big brother, you are so amazing!! You are even better than Kakashi-senpai! I admire you so much!!"

"Hayate, your flattery is not good at all, I'm not happy at all, hahahaha…"

Well, seeing his little brother licking him like this, Kanpū is very satisfied.

'But…'

"Hayate, do you also know Kakashi?" Kanpū asked with a smile.

Hayate nodded: "Yeah, I heard from my classmates that Kakashi-senpai is a genius, just like big brother, he graduated from the Academy early! However, Kakashi-senpai is definitely not comparable to big brother!!!"

Kanpū was pleased when he heard this and then patted Hayate's shoulder: "Hayate, these days, big brother doesn't hurt you in vain. You said it well, I was moved by you."

Hayate was embarrassed: "Big brother, what I say come from my heart."

When the two brothers are complimenting each other, Keiko, who had left home, came to Inoue's house in a distraught state.

Knock knock knock!

Knocking on the door and entering, Keiko directly told about Kanpū's matter.

"What? Kanpū-chan applied for early graduation?"

Inoue had a look of disbelief on his face, "With Kanpū-chan's talent, how could the Academy's teacher agree with his application?"

"But according to what Kanpū-chan said, his teacher has already agreed to his application." Keiko said, suddenly frowned, and said with a slight dissatisfaction, "And… Uncle Inoue, although Kanpū-chan's talent in Kenjutsu is poor, but in other aspects, his talent is not as bad as you think!"

Although she was distraught in her heart, as a mother, Keiko still subconsciously protect her son.

Inoue scratched his head that only has few white hairs, and said with a bitter smile: "Sorry, but…"

'Kanpū-chan's talent is poor, and it's not just reflected in his poor talent in Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, but also his body!'

'With poor body, there is no way he can refine a lot of Chakra. This directly determines the upper limit of Kanpū-chan's growth. So even if he can graduate early, he will only be a Genin in the end.'

If he knows these things, of course Kanpū's father, Hoshino also knows, but he didn't tell Keiko about this.

Looking at Keiko who was anxious, Inoue chuckled and said: "Keiko, I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that Kanpū-chan will go to battlefield after he graduate, right?"

"Un." Keiko nodded.

"Keiko, you don't have to worry about that."

Inoue then explained, "If Kanpū-chan graduates successfully, then Hokage-sama will definitely arrange a Jōnin Teacher to guide him, and he will not let Kanpū-chan, who is just a Genin, to go to the battlefield to take risks. Moreover, even if the war situation really reached critical point it is necessary for Genin to participate in the war, it will not be Kanpū-chan's turn. We, Gekkō clan, still have a lot of Genin!"

Hearing him say this, Keiko finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Inoue, thank you."

"Hahaha, what's there to thank for that?"

Inoue smiled and said "However, I have a small request, I hope you can agree to it, Keiko."

"What's the matter?" Keiko asked.

"I want to test Kanpū-chan's strength."

Inoue's eyes shone brightly.

Although Keiko wouldn't lie to him about this kind of thing, Inoue felt that he needs to see it himself to believe it, and he couldn't sleep at night without personally witnessing Kanpū's strength.

"Okay!"

Keiko did not refuse, because she also wanted to know whether her son is lying or not.

"Wait, I'm going to call that old man Matsushita's granddaughter." Inoue said.

Inoue is a Tokubetsu Jōnin, and it would be kind of bullying if he takes action himself. Therefore, he would get Matsushita's granddaughter, Tabako to test Kanpū's strength.

A few minutes later, Matsushita, who learned about the incident, also clamored to go and the watch the show, as she couldn't persuade him, Keiko had no choice but to lead Inoue, Matsushita, and Tabako, and walked back home.

...

In the backyard of the house, Hayate is holding his short sword that has no sharp edge and attacked the wooden stake. Unfortunately, the weather was too cold, and the wooden stake was frozen that it became like a piece of iron. After striking it for a while, Hayate felt his wrist went numb, so he wanted to return to the living room to refine Chakra.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he heard Inoue's stern voice coming from the corridor: "Hayate-chan, you actually retreat and stop training after feeling a little bit of pain. In this way, you will never be able to inherit Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, so keep practicing!"

"Yes!" Hayate subconsciously shouted, and when he realized that it was not the voice of his big brother, he suddenly said, "Grandpa Inoue, I'm going to refine Chakra."

Inoue almost couldn't breathe when he heard this: "Hayate-chan, you…"

"Hey, we are not here to see you educate Hayate-chan."

Matsushita interrupted him and said, "Gekkou, where is your big brother? Go and call him out."

"Yes!"

Hayate answered, and hurriedly ran into the living room.
