CH 56

“Yo, Dr. Shinnō, and you…”

Just as Kanpū was about to ‘stretch his fists’, Guy, who jumped rope in full swing, was finally ‘awakened’ by the pungent smell of the herbs.

“Guy-senpai.”

Kanpū looked at Kai with a contemplative look on his face, and feebly reminded, “I am Gekkō Kanpū.”

“That’s right, you are Gekkō Kanpū, I remember you!”

Guy’s face showed ‘I didn’t forget you, don’t misunderstand.’ expression and said. “Your dream is to be an excellent doctor like Dr. Shinnō, right?”

“Yes.”

Kanpū has an awkward smile on his face. Although Kanpū had come every day for the past two weeks, Guy is training in the morning and doing missions in the afternoon, so the two never met, otherwise, even if Kanpū is really just an extra, Guy would remember his name.

“Okay, stop chatting, you two, hurry up and pour the hot water, otherwise, the temperature of the medicated bath will cool down and the effect will not be so good.” Shinnō said.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me!”

Guy immediately rushed towards the kitchen.

The muscles at the corners of Kanpū’s eyes twitched slightly, ‘This f****r!’

‘As expected of someone called the strongest man by me, Gekkō Kanpū. Although you usually are not seen, you are guaranteed to appear at the critical moment… to add chaos to my plan!’

Kanpū clenched the teeth, then followed Guy into the kitchen, and shouted: “Leave this to me!”

“Kanpū, don’t worry about this kind of thing, just leave it to me!” Guy held the boiled kettle, his face was full of spirit, and his whole body exuded a strong and bursting aura of fighting intent.

Kanpū frowned when he saw this, ‘This water… there’s no way it can fall with you holding it!’

So Kanpū brewed his emotions for a while, and then said with a sincere expression: “Guy-senpai! In fact, I have always felt very uneasy, because I was fortunate to be able to study medical skills from Dr. Shinnō without paying anything, so please leave this to me, because all I can do now is this!!”

Looking at Kanpū’s sincere and moving expression, and hearing Kanpū’s heartfelt confession, Guy burst into tears: “Kanpū! I didn’t expect you to encounter so many things on the way to pursue your dreams. Sorry, I shouldn’t steal away your mission! Let me give it to you!!!”

After saying that, Guy shoved the kettle with the white steam coming out from its spout into Kanpū’s arms.

Kanpū almost couldn’t hold back the urge to kick him, ‘This Guy is really…excessive!’

Kanpū took a step back, after carefully taking the kettle, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he found the small basin the size of a human face, began to pour the hot water, and then took the small basin to the bathtub. He then carefully pours the hot water into the bathtub.

Guy, who is standing next to him, was looking at him, and felt that Kanpū was a little strange, ‘Why not just take the kettle out and slowly pour it down?’

But when he thought that the other party was an ordinary kid with no talent, Guy didn’t bother.

After several trips like this, Guy lost interest and naturally ran to the corner of the living room and started doing push-ups.

“If I can’t do five hundred push-ups in half an hour, I must do one thousand squat!”

Hearing Guy’s full of passion and ambition words, Kanpū was excited.

At this time, Shinnō is standing next to the bathtub, chatting with Duy who is sitting in the bathtub. He didn’t notice Kanpū coming over holding a small basin with hot water, or rather, he didn’t care.

After all, Kanpū has been doing this all the time, and Shinnō is used to it.

So, habit is really a terrifying habit!

Kanpū lowered his head and walked to the tub, and then…

“Ai~ya~”

Kanpū stumbled under his feet, and the small basin in his hand was thrown towards Shinnō’s clothes directly, and the hot water inside was splashed away.

Duy reacted very quickly. At that time, he swirled in the bathtub to avoid being splashed by hot water. At the same time, he remembered that Shinnō was standing next to him, so he shouted nervously: “Doctor Shinnō, be careful!”

But…

Shinnō’s reaction is faster than Duy!

The moment Kanpū ‘falls down’ and the small basin was thrown out, Shinnō’s leg muscles were already tense, but… Shinnō did not evade.

Because, Shinnō’s setting in Konoha is a middle-aged greasy uncle who doesn’t know Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, and even has problems with his body because of tasting all kinds of herbs!

When suddenly encountered such an unexpected situation, if he could dodge something that even Guy, Taijutsu Shinobi who trained the Eight Gates Technique, hadn’t reacted yet, how can he explain it?

And because of Kanpū’s height, the boiling water in this small basin was poured on his clothes, and it happened that the clothes he was wearing were very thick, so even if it gets wet, it won’t hurt him at all, so with the above reason, Shinnō did not dodge!

Splash…

In the end, the boiling water was poured on Shinnō’s clothes just like Kanpū wanted.

“Doctor Shinnō, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It’s all my fault!”

At this time, Kanpū seemed to be possessed by an actor’s spirit. He quickly threw himself in front of Shinnō, his eyes were shocked and fear as he looked at Shinnō, “Hurry up, Dr. Shinnō, take off your clothes.”

“Little Kanpū, don’t be nervous, I’m fine.”

Shinnō smiled and stopped Kanpū who was at a loss. “The water didn’t scald me, don’t worry.”

“Really?” Kanpū looked relieved as if he was saved.

Guy, who was doing push-ups in the corner, ran over when he heard the commotion. Seeing that everyone was okay, he wanted to go back and continue training.

“Kanpū, pay attention to safety!”

Duy, who is soaking in the bathtub, was also relieved. He knows that if Shinnō is really scalded, how could an honest child like Kanpū have the face to follow Shinnō and learn medical skills from him in the future.

“I’m sorry.”

Kanpū bowed his head and apologized, “I am in a bad condition today.”

“Maybe it has something to do with the heavy rain outside.”

Shinnō remembered the scene of Kanpū walking over with an umbrella before entering the house, and chose to forgive him.

In this way, his kind, benevolent and sympathetic character will become more three-dimensional!

Shinnō smiled, but in his smile, there was a hint of worry.

If his clothes are wet, he needs to take them off and hang them to dry, and in case the kind-hearted and guilty Kanpū wants to wipe the water stains on his clothes…

Even if the scroll inside the clothes were found, Shinnō could stop Kanpū in time, saying that the scroll records the precious but dangerous medical techniques and cannot be seen by others, but it was still somewhat risky.

But what Shinnō didn’t expect was…

“Doctor Shinnō, Duy-senpai, I, can I go home early today? I’ll trouble Guy-senpai with the task of pouring the water.”

Kanpū showed an expression of ‘I did something wrong and I have no face to stay here anymore. Don’t stop me and let me die… Let me go’.

“Little Kanpū!”

Duy was about to stop Kanpū, but Kanpū had already walked away with his head down.

“Little Kanpū may be tired, so it’s better to let him rest.” Shinnō said with a calm smile, but he was somehow relieved that Kanpū was sensible.

“In that case, just leave the task of pouring the water!”

Hearing Kanpū’s request, Guy directly rushed into the kitchen and ran out with the steaming kettle.

“Doctor Shinnō, your clothes are wet, take them off and put them on a hanger to dry, otherwise, you will catch a cold.”

With that said, Duy turned his head and looked towards Guy, who had just come out of the kitchen, and said, “Guy, help Dr. Shinnō get a coat first.”

“I understand!”

Both the father and son know about Dr. Shinnō was not in good health, so after hearing Duy’s words, Guy immediately put the kettle on the ground, then ran into the bedroom to rummage through the cabinets.

Shinnō looked at Duy sitting in the bathtub, listened to the movement made by Guy in the bedroom, and then looked at the shadow that gradually disappeared in the rain curtain with the umbrella opened at the entrance, and then closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings. When his eyes opened, Guy was already standing in front of him while holding a trench coat.

Confirming that there was no abnormality in the surroundings, Shinnō accepted Duy’s kindness with a smile, then took off his clothes, gave them to Guy, and then took the trench coat in Guy’s hand and put them on.

Under Shinnō’s gaze, Guy quickly ran to the entrance, hung Shinnō’s clothes on the hanger on the shoe cabinet, then turned around and ran back, starting to get busy.
