CH 2

Keiko stood in the backyard half-distracted before turning around and said to Kanpū: “Kanpū-chan, stay at home and play, don’t run around. Kaa-chan will go to the hospital to do something. I’ll cook you something delicious tonight.”

Keiko bent down and gently rubbed Kanpū’s head. Then she walked to the entrance, changed a pair of shoes, and then turned to look at Kanpū.

Kanpū also looked at Keiko, and the two big eyes stared at the small eyes. When Keiko tilted her head, Kanpū followed suit and tilted his head.

Keiko didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, “Kanpū-chan, you can’t be so rude.”

“Eh?”

Kanpū was somewhat puzzled, but he quickly recalled his past experience, and instantly said, “I know, kaa-chan, I will stay at home and wait till you get back.”

Keiko smiled and said: “Goodbye then.”

Kanpū did not say anything.

Keiko opened the door and turned her head expressionlessly.

Kanpū’s desire to survive instantly exploded: “Goodbye, kaa-chan!!”

Only then did Keiko go out with satisfaction.

After she left, Kanpū showed helpless expression, ‘It’s so hard to be polite.’

After half-distracted, Kanpū suddenly remembered something, and couldn’t help but folded his arms around his chest, looking like a little lord, and muttered to himself, ‘Mom works in the hospital… so she’s either a nurse or a doctor.’

After silently applauding his wisdom, Kanpū walked into the backyard with his chest raised, glanced at the wooden sword father had stabbed into the grass, and then picked up his 30cm wooden sword.

He thought that he could rely on cheats to reach the peak of his life, but he suffered three consecutive failed collection on the first day.

“I still have to rely on myself.”

Kanpū recalled the posture of his father drawing and slashing the sword, and immediately put the wooden sword on his left waist in a decent way. Then, he bent forward, and then drew and slash his sword fiercely on the wooden stake in front of him.

Boom!

With the dull sound, the wooden sword was bounced off the wooden stake as soon as it slashed it. The violent shock force made Kanpū unable to hold the wooden sword in his hand and it flew out of his hand.

Kanpū maintained the posture of drawing the sword, but the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

“Big brother, are you training Kenjutsu?” Suddenly, a young voice came from the other side of the wall.

Kanpū turned his head to look, and saw a small head popped out from the other side of the wall, looking at him expectantly.

The memory in Kanpū’s mind surged in an instant.

‘This kid… is my younger brother, Gekkō Hayate!’ (T/N: Cousins can also be said to be brother as they have the same grandparents.)

“Hayate, you…” Before Kanpū finished speaking, he saw Hayate climbed the wall in a dog-crawling style, then jumped directly from the wall, rolled a few times on the grass in the yard, and stood up as if nothing was happening. He ran towards Kanpū with sparks and blades of grass all the way.

“Big brother, let’s train Kenjutsu together!”

‘Train your big head!’

Kanpū couldn’t help but rolled his eyes, then touched his right wrist, and hummed: “You train, I’ll watch by the side, lest you get hurt.”

“Okay!”

Gekkō Hayate shouted, and then ran to pick up Kanpū’s 30cm wooden sword, and slashed it happily.

Kanpū turned around and sat down on the wooden corridor of the courtyard. With his cheeks resting on his hands, he looked at Hayate, and gradually became distracted.

He is thinking about the future. Although it is ridiculous for him to think about the future when he is only 7 years old, who let him know about Hokage’s plot.

To be honest, Kanpū doesn’t care too much about the future, he just wants to live well, no matter which world he is in.

And while Naruto World is said to be dangerous, but it’s actually not dangerous at all.

If Kanpū decides not to be a Shinobi, then he only needs to find the legendary Ichiraku Ramen, and then take Ichiraku Ramen’s owner as his teacher, get up early every day to make ramen, ensure a safe and healthy life. And even marry the daughter of the owner, from then on to the pinnacle of life!

But if he becomes a Shinobi, then the situation will be different. He has to leave the village for mission, D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, even A-Rank, and S-Rank. The higher the mission, the greater the danger, especially in times of war, when death follows you in every corner!

Therefore, for Kanpū, if he wants to live safely, there are only two ways. One is he can simply be an ordinary person, create ramen honestly, and get to the grand finale in a safe way. But if he wanted to be a Shinobi, he must go to the peak of the Shinobi World and become a character like Uchiha Madara, so that he won’t be killed!

If there is no cheat, Kanpū will choose Ichiraku Ramen without hesitation, but he has a cheat.

But this cheat seems, may, probably a little unreliable, which is embarrassing.

“Big brother, what are you thinking?” Hayate practiced for ten minutes, and sweating profusely. When he looked back, he saw Kanpū was absent-minded and unhappy.

“I’m thinking about my…”

Kanpū subconsciously started to talk, then closed his mouth abruptly, and then stared at Gekkō Hayate in shock.

‘Little brother, you sure are gutsy, how dare you try to set me up?’

‘Impudent!’

Immediately afterward, a flash of light suddenly flashed through Kanpū’s mind.

‘Is my cheat used in the wrong way?’

Although he doesn’t know whether his cheap father is Jōnin or Chunin, he’s still a child now, so the gap with his cheap father is definitely as far apart as clouds and mud. It’s like a novice at level 0 in the game tried to collect from the boss directly, the result is definitely a failure!

‘So, everything should start small!’

‘Especially… Good things!’

The shock on Kanpū’s face instantly vanished: “Little Brother Hayate, are you tired? Big brother will loosen your muscles and bones.”

“I, I am not tired. “

Hayate subconsciously took two steps back, then dropped the wooden sword in his hand suddenly, and ran towards the wall with a rolling crawl.

“Little brother, don’t run. Today, we two brothers should deepen our relationship!”

Kanpū, the vicious dog, swooped down on Hayate, who had climbed halfway through the wall.

“Kaa-chan, Kaa-chan… Uahh…”

Hayate couldn’t stand Kanpū’s harassment, so he burst into tears.

Kanpū pressed Gekkō Hayate under him. When he saw him crying, he was a little flustered. At this moment, Keiko’s appearance as she looked at him with squinted eyes and expressionless face inexplicably appeared in his mind. Agitated, Kanpū hurriedly pulled his little brother up, then massaged his shoulder.

Facts are better than words. After Hayate cried for half a minute he found that he wasn’t bullied, so his cry naturally became smaller.

“Little brother, are you comfortable?”

Kanpū asked curiously.

“Yeah, comfortable, thank you big brother.”

Hayate wiped his tears and snot, then turned around and stretched out his hand, “Big brother, it’s my turn to massage you now.”

Kanpū glanced at the snot in his little brother’s hand and shook his head awkwardly: “No, I’m not tired, and you’re tired from training Kenjutsu just now. Turn around, I’ll press your shoulder again.”

“Really?” Hayate asked, and when Kanpū answered affirmatively, he turned around happily and continued to enjoy Kanpū’s massage.

Kanpū pressed his hands while gnashing his teeth and told himself: ‘It is an early investment, I want repayment. I will let you return both the investment and interest tomorrow!’

‘Hmph, little brother, you have no idea how terrible this society is!’

‘Tomorrow, this big brother will give you a good adult education!’
