Chapter 60 Happy For Nothing

As the night got darker, Shinnō quietly hid at the corner of the stairs on the second floor in the Fukakusa Tavern.

At this time, in the tavern, only the last customer is still drinking.

"Ah, Aiko, if you are willing, I will do it right now, I am willing, willing to do it for you… hic~~~ for you… hic~~~ Eat, I want to eat! No, I want to drink, no no no, I want a woman, ah, I want to die, I really want to sleep…"

The only remaining guest were already very drunk, and spoke incoherently. He is only half a step away from being unconscious.

The waitress glanced at him and ignored him. If it wasn't for the heavy rain outside, she would have already kicked him away.

Shinnō silently observed the waitress. He suspected that the information about his scroll was leaked by this woman!

This waitress is not a Shinobi, and there is no Chakra fluctuation on her body. If she hides in the dark and peek at him, she might really be able to hide from Shinnō who drinks five bottles of sake at every meal!

'Damn it!'

Shinnō is very regretful now, 'Why should I stay overnight with the sake here?'

'Is the food delicious?'

'But the food here really isn't that great …'

Shinnō clenched his teeth. His strong psychological qualities allowed him to quickly restrain his erratic thoughts.

'Eh?'

'Is there a situation?'

Shinnō seemed to sense something and hurriedly hid his figure.

Pata pata…

Accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps, three young people with red and white fan pattern on their clothes entered the tavern, shouting loudly to order sake and food.

'Uchiha Clan?'

Shinnō's heart jumped: 'Why do Uchiha Clan's people appear here so late?'

'Patrol?'

'That's right, now Konoha and Sunagakure are now at war. As the Military Police Force, the Uchiha Clan must strengthen patrols to prevent Sunagakure's spy from infiltrating.'

'But… is it possible…When I was at Duy's house, I was caught in the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu, and the scroll was stolen?'

'And now that these Uchiha appear here, is it because I have been surrounded by countless Sharingan?'

Shinnō hurriedly closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings, but except for the three Uchiha who were drinking and eating in the tavern, he did not find any other people's Chakra fluctuations.

'Am I scaring myself?'

Shinnō's face is very ugly, he knows that if he continues to be so suspicious, he will show his flaws sooner or later!

Although Shinnō couldn't confirm who stole the scroll, at least, he is certain that that person must be hostile to him!

The enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light. In this case, the risk that Shinnō needs to bear to continue to stay in Konoha will only increase.

Unconsciously, the balance in Shinnō's mind gradually tilted toward the choice of leaving Konoha.

'And I have already obtained most of the data from Might Duy's body, which means that I have completed most of the goals. Although not getting all of them may affect the progress of improving the Eight Gates Technique, but as long as I have time, these are not problems at all!'

As for the scroll being stolen?

Although Shinnō feels distressed that his achievements were stolen like this, the fact that the scrolls were stolen had no effect on him. After all, he has already mastered the Body Revival Technique that is recorded in the scroll. Of course, Shinnō believes that someday in the future, there will be one or more Shinobi who can use his Body Revival Technique.

'If you let me know who you are…'

A silent cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Shinnō's, and then he went to the second floor.

...

The next day, Kanpū woke up with a sneeze, but when he thought of the Body Revival Technique's scroll under the corridor, he was excited, and the uncomfortable feeling of being sick instantly dissipated.

After that, Kanpū couldn't help but worry.

'Did Shinnō come to my house last night?'

'Will the scroll hidden under the corridor be taken away by a mouse?'

"Big brother, hurry up, it's time for breakfast!"

Outside the sliding door, Hayate, who had got up first, urged Kanpū, who was staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Oh, understood."

When Kanpū came back to his senses, he remembered that he had to go to the Academy today.

The Academy used to have five days of school day and two days off, but now that it's a war period, it has become six days of school day and one day off.

Kanpū estimated that when the war has reached more dire state, and the frontline suffers heavy casualties. the Academy will make the student come to the Academy every day, seven days a week, to mass-produce Genin and supplement the front-line with cannon fodders.

Of course, this is just Kanpū's malicious guess.

After bravely breaking through the quilt seal, Kanpū undressed, washes himself, and then brushes his teeth.

After that, Kanpū discovered that today's breakfast turned out to be tomato, egg, and pork noodles.

'Is it because of my sickness?'

"Kanpū-chan, you have to finish the eggs."

Keiko smiled, "Kaa-chan will make you braised pork ribs tonight, so remember to go home early."

'So you know how to cook…'

'I thought you only know seaweed + sesame seeds.'

Kanpū wanted to cry, and then said that the living room was boring, and then he walked towards the backyard while holding the bowl and eating sparsely.

"Big brother, wait for me."

Hayate followed suit, holding the bowl and catching up with Kanpū.

When he arrived at the corridor, Kanpū sat down on the edge of the corner, where he threw the scroll down the corridor last night.

Kanpū took a small bite of the noodles and looked around calmly.

Yesterday's heavy rain lasted until the early hours of this morning, so the outside air was exceptionally fresh, with a hint of cool moisture. The bright sun had also broken through the gradually dissipating dark clouds, and fell radially into the village, which one of the beams of light happened to be shining not far in front of Kanpū.

At this time, Hayate ran out. Seeing this beam of sunlight, he couldn't help but jumped down the corridor and touched it.

"It's so warm." Hayate held the bowl with a silly smile on his face.

Kanpū ignored Hayate and continued to observe the surroundings. At this time, he really wanted to stretch his head under his crotch and look under the corridor, but he didn't dare, and he didn't know if it was a guilty conscience. At this time, Kanpū only felt that Shinnō is lurking in the vicinity, and once he makes any 'excessive' actions, the position of the scroll may be exposed.

Of course, Kanpū will never admit that this is an illusion caused by thinking too much.

In the end, Kanpū did not dare to look down at the gap under the corridor until he finished eating the noodles.

On the way to the Academy, Kanpū was absent-minded, and his mind was occupied with the scroll under the corridor.

When he arrived at the Academy, Kanpū couldn't calm down, because he thought of one more thing, that is, after school in the afternoon, should he still go to Duy's house?

'If I go, will I be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth voluntarily?'

'If I don't go, will I appear guilty and cause Shinnō to suspect me?'

Kanpū suddenly touched his forehead, which was still a little hot.

'Why don't I go to Duy's house and say that I am sick and my family is worried, so I need to take a day off?'

'This not only made him looked innocent, but also get him to tactfully stay away from Shinnō.'

Kanpū silently felt a trace of satisfaction for his quick wit.

'Sure enough, if people don't force themselves fiercely, they will never know how good they are!'

After the outdoor training session in the afternoon, Kanpū entrusted Hayate to Iruka and went straight to Duy's house.

After walking for nearly an hour, Kanpū finally arrived at Duy's house, and from the distance, he saw the door of Duy's house is wide open. Obviously, Duy's medicated bath was not over yet.

Kanpū went in and saw that there's only Duy, who is bathing in the bathtub, and Guy, who kept pouring hot water.

"Duy-senpai, Guy-senpai."

Kanpū changed his shoes at the entrance, and then deliberately coughed twice to show that he was seriously ill.

"Little Kanpū, why are you here?"

Duy was a little surprised when he saw Kanpū here, and he immediately showed a complex expression on his face, and said, "So, you don't know yet."

"Know what?" Kanpū's heart jumped.

"Dr. Shinnō has… has left after leaving the herbs formula!" There was a hint of… crying in Duy's voice?

When Kanpū heard this, he was happy, oh no, he was so sad, so he asked with a trembling voice: "Duy-senpai, is Doctor Shinnō…dead?"

"Eh"

Duy was startled, then shook his head fiercely, "No, I mean, Dr. Shinnō has left the village."

'I was happy for nothing.'

Kanpū thought that Shinnō was dead.

However, this play had to be performed in full, so Kanpū immediately showed a sad expression: "Why is this so? I still wanted to learn medical skills from Dr. Shinnō, how could this be?!"

"Little Kanpū, don't be sad, I, I…"

Duy was sitting in the tub with tears in his eyes, "I can no longer be massaged by Dr. Shinnō in the future."

Looking at Duy, who was even more aggrieved and sad than himself, Kanpū felt that he was going to lose his acts if he stayed any longer. So, he said with a sad face that he was sick and couldn't stay outside for too long, and then with a dejected back, he left Duy's house.
