Chapter 301 Waiting For Adulthood

After leaving Hokage Tower, Kanpū went straight back home.

However, there is no one at home. Kanpū checked the time and guessed that Keiko was still working in the hospital, and Hayate was almost on his way home from school. As for Hoshino, he should be playing shogi with Inoue and Matsushita.

So Kanpū took a shower and changed into comfortable casual clothes. When he came out, he saw a very unbearable scene!

On the sofa in the living room, the shameless Gekkō Hayate is holding Uzuki Yūgao's little hand, and they are playing the bride and groom's house game!

This dog food has caught him off guard! (T/N: Dog food is a Chinese slang for couple who are showing affection in front of single people.)

"Eh? Brother, you're back!"

Seeing his big brother, Hayate quickly let go of Yūgao's hand and rushed over, "Big brother, I miss you so much!

"It's the Hayate-nii's big bastard brother!" Seeing Kanpū, Yūgao's face turned pale with fright and she pointed at Kanpū with her finger, blinking her big watery eyes.

Yūgao, who is 7 years old this year, has also enrolled in the Academy, so the cheating couple go home together after school every day.

Kanpū stretched out his hand against Hayate's head, making him swipe and slap his hands, and said in a muffled voice: "Hayate, did I train well when I was not at home?"

"Big brother, I have!"

Hayate broke free from Kanpū's hand and said aggrievedly, "I always read books for two hours every day, refined Chakra for two hours, trained Kenjutsu for two hours, and then spent an hour reviewing those Ninjutsu you taught me."

Kanpū nodded in relief, but he felt something is wrong.

'According to Hayate's words, these add up to at least 7 hours, and he goes home from school at exactly 4 o'clock. When he is finished doing all that, wouldn't it be already 11 o'clock in the evening?'

'If eating, bathing, doing homework, and spending time with Yūgao are included, won't it be past midnight when he's done?'

Facing the suspicious gaze of his older brother, Hayate's desire to survive exploded: "Big brother, I have learned all the knowledge in the Academy, so I spent two hours of reading at the Academy."

"Knowing how to use time flexibly is not bad. It is worthy of praise."

Kanpū smiled, patted Hayate's shoulder, and asked indifferently, "Then what time do you go to bed every night now?"

"Eleven o'clock." Hayate said.

Kanpū frowned: "This won't do!"

"Big brother, what do you mean this won't do?" Hayate was shocked.

"You are still young, so you must go to bed before nine o'clock every night. You must ensure your sleep time, you know?" Kanpū said seriously.

"But, in this case, there is no way to complete the daily training, and, besides, …" Hayate looked at his big brother aggrievedly, 'Wasn't it your responsibility that I go to bed late?'

Kanpū doesn't know what Hayate was thinking, otherwise, he would have punished him.

He pondered, and said: "Hayate, you can spend your trivial time at the Academy to refine Chakra, go home to train Kenjutsu for two hours, and review Ninjutsu for an hour, with that, you can go to bed at nine o'clock."

"But I still want to read books." Hayate said.

"What books?" Kanpū frowned, "It can't be those medical books, right? Speaking of which, why have you been reading those books, could it be that you want to learn Medical Ninjutsu?"

Hayate shook his head.

Kanpū stared at him, and he saw Hayate's eyes are flickering, and he looked left and right, like a fertilized rabbit.

"No, that, that..." When she saw Hayate was incoherent, Yūgao exploded.

"Big bastard brother, I won't let you bully Hayate-nii!"

Yūgao rushed over, looking very fierce, and then hit Kanpū with her petite, weak body. After a while, she was bounced back, and she fell to the ground with a thud. She froze for two seconds, blinked her big eyes, and then burst into tears.

Kanpū was stunned, and quickly signaled Hayate to come over and comfort her.

"Little sister Yūgao, don't cry." Hayate pulled Yūgao from the ground, feeling a little anxious.

"Ha, Hayate-nii, we, we shouldn't play with the big bastard brother."

Yūgao gave a subtle wink to Hayate while crying.

Hayate instantly understood, then the cheating couple pretended to cry and comfort each other, and then went to the backyard.

Kanpū is depressed when he saw this: 'Do you think I'm blind?'

Not long after, Keiko came home after getting off work and when she saw Kanpū, her eyes couldn't help but glistening with teardrops. Kanpū was first sent to Sunagakure Battlefield, then Minato took him into Iwagakure Battlefield, and finally they entered Sunagakure's main camp for negotiation, Keiko didn't know how many nights of insomnia she had!

"You're finally back."

There are a lot of words in Keiko's heart, but when she saw the blade-like light hidden deep in the corner of Kanpū's eyes, she felt that she couldn't say anything for a moment.

'Kanpū has grown up, I can no longer treat him like a child like I used to.'

Keiko forced herself to adapt, then walked into the kitchen and silently started preparing the dinner for the evening!

Kanpū looked at her back, and a very important vow suddenly flashed in Kanpū's mind: 'I will definitely guard this home in the future.'

When Keiko was almost done cooking, Hoshino returned home.

"Kanpū, you are finally back."

Seeing Kanpū, Hoshino smiled in relief, then patted Kanpū on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Good job!"

After the Battle of Kikyō Pass, Orochimaru returned with a large number of captives and most of the Shinobi from the frontline, and the Shinobi from Gekkō Clan also returned to the village.

From the Arashiyama's mouth, Hoshino learned about what Kanpū has done on Sunagakure Battlefield. First, he was involved in logistics, then he joined the third assassination team, and during this period, he even used Konoha-Style Kenjutsu's Secret Art!

After that, Kanpū was transferred to the close combat unit and fought with Sunagakure's Puppet Brigade, and it finally led to the pursuit of their great enemy, Pakura!

To Hoshino's relief, Kanpū does not have overestimate his capabilities and fight Pakura head-on, but instead chooses to move away from the close combat unit and enter the Land of Rain to perform mission!

If he had this consciousness back then, he wouldn't have been made into this state by Pakura.

After that, Hoshino pulled Kanpū to talk about what happened after he entered the Land of Rain.

Kanpū pondered about it for a while, but felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told the matter without omission and in detail except for the Collection Technique and the nearly two hundred robust men he brought.

Hoshino was shocked when he learned that Kanpū had followed Minato not long after he entered the Land of Rain, especially when Kanpū said that he was also one of the witnesses of Minato killing 50 Jōnin instantly. After all, he was actually seeing the legendary scene with his own eyes!

"Minato is one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya-sama's disciple, and he is very powerful. Now that he is famous throughout the Shinobi World, do you know what this means, Kanpū?" Hoshino suddenly asked with a solemn expression.

Kanpū nodded, and slowly saying the important word: "Hokage!"

Hoshino nodded with satisfaction when he saw Kanpū understood what he meant: 'That's right, Hokage! The Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato is now qualified to compete for the Yondaime Hokage's position. Although everyone is saying that Orochimaru-sama is Sandaime-sama's successor, some things will not come to fruition until the last moment."

"Tou-san, are you more optimistic about Minato-sama than Orochimaru-sama?" "Kanpū's eyes lit up.

"I am a cripple now, and who I'm optimistic about is insignificant."

Hoshino chuckled and said, "The important thing is who you are optimistic about!"

Kanpū's eyes are shining: "Tou-san, are you planning to pass the position of Gekkō Clan's Clan Head to me?" "

"What a bastard, I'm not dead yet!" " Hoshino was furious when he heard this.

"Che, why else would you say that it is more important than who I am more optimistic about?" Kanpū curled his lips: 'And you are already crippled.'

Hoshino's face blushed, and he said with a snort: "It's not impossible if you want to become the Clan Head of Gekkō Clan."

Because of the crayfish, Kanpū has already made a huge contribution to the Gekkō Clan. In addition, his talent is getting more and more abnormal for some reason. First, it was his Ninjutsu talent of various attributes, and now he has even mastered the Konoha- Style Kenjutsu's Secret Art. If such a super genius was allowed to become the Clan Head of Gekkō Clan, there will definitely no resistance from the clansmen.

Kanpū is shocked, and his eyes are piercingly stared at him: "How can it be done?"

"Wait until you are… an adult!" Hoshino said with a chuckle.

"Huh? That will still take a few years. "Kanpū instantly lost his passion.

Think about it carefully. In the war against Sunagakure, Gekkō Clan lost nearly 90% of their backbone. With such small force left in the clan, it is actually fine for a youngster to become the Clan Head.

Hoshino seemed to see what Kanpū was thinking, and said with a smile: "We, Gekkō clan, have already made a lot of contributions in this war, but the losses are also great, so we need to recuperate. When you reach adulthood, those clansmen of the same age as you will almost fully grow up. With the help of Arashiyama and others, we, Gekkō clan, will soon become strong again."

Kanpū thought of Tabako, Yuki, Reifū and Yama, and nodded subconsciously, 'That's right, although the previous generation was beaten and crippled, the next generation of Shinobi are still there. In a few years, when they grow up, they will be the backbone of Gekkō Clan!'

'With me, the head of the Abyss sitting on the Clan Head's position, will not Gekkō Clan be allowed to run rampant in the Shinobi World in the future?'

Kanpū coughed dryly and said: "Tou-san, then that's a deal!"
