CH 70

When he came out of the hospital, Anko, Iruka and the others had already left, so Kanpū had no choice but to go home.

On the way, Kanpū has been thinking about one thing, and that is, whether his cheat, Collection Technique can collect Shinobi’s corpses.

It stands to reason that since he collected the Body Revival Technique from the scroll, he can collect anything, but… practice is the only criterion for testing the cheat.

Kanpū felt a little regretful, ‘I should have sneaked into the morgue to take a look, and then throw a Collection Technique. As long as the green light cluster surge, it means that it can be collected!’

Kanpū returned home irritably. And as soon as he pushed the door open, he heard the laughter of a middle-aged man coming from his home.

Kanpū turned pale in shock, changed his shoes and ran in. He then saw that Hayate was acting like a spoiled kid with a man whose back was very familiar.

“Uh… Tou-san?”

Kanpū was a little confused, ‘Tou-san actually returned from the battlefield?’

‘No wonder kaa-chan winked at me and kept urging me to come back.’

“Big brother!” Seeing Kanpū has come back, Hayate rushed over, “Big brother, where is my gift?”

Kanpū took out the fifty for two bracelets to Hayate, and dismissed him lightly.

“Kanpū, you have grown taller again!”

Hoshino looked at Kanpū with satisfaction.

“Tou-san, you…”

Kanpū subconsciously asked, “Aren’t you on the battlefield?”

Hoshino said: “The frontline has reached a stalemate, and there will be no major battles in a short period of time, so I was ordered to escort the casualties and prisoners back, and bring another batch of supplies back along the way.”

‘So that’s how is it.’

Kanpū finally understood it all.

“Kanpū, I heard from Hayate say that your skill in throwing Ninja Tools is very good, and you have also started to train climbing the walls, is that true?” Hoshino looked at him expectantly.

Kanpū nodded: “It’s true.”

“Although your talent in Kenjutsu is poor, if you work hard, you can still become an excellent Genin, ganbatte, Kanpū!” Hoshino cheered up his son.

“I understand.” Kanpū forced a smile, and then asked: “Tou-san, how long will you stay at home?”

“About four to five days. “Hoshino said with a smile, “When the supplies and support of the village are all available, I will go back to the frontline.”

“Tou-san…”

Kanpū wanted to stop him. After all, he has read many transmigrated novels. Once a protagonist is transmigrated, the protagonist’s father will die at every turn. Kanpū doesn’t want this to happen to him.

“What’s the matter, it’s only been more than a month, and you already miss Tou-san so much?” Hoshino was very pleased, “Don’t worry, Tou-san will never die!”

The corners of Kanpū’s mouth twitched slightly and said, “I just want to take this time to ask Tou-san some questions.”

Speaking of which, after Kanpū’s cheat appeared, the first one he collected was Hoshino, but it failed. Now, Kanpū feels that he can try again through guidance.

“Okay, no matter what questions you have, Tou-san can answer them for you!” Hoshino said happily.

“Uncle, I also want to ask you a question.”

After Hayate put on the bracelet, he also came over, “I want to know about my father.

This time, Hoshino did come back, but Seiseki stayed on the front line, which is why Hayate said so.

“Okay, no matter what Hayate wants to know, uncle will tell you!” Hoshino said with a smile.

“Then, Tou-san… why don’t you tell us about the frontline first!” Kanpū said.

Kanpū is not in a hurry to collect, and somewhat curious about the war between Konoha and Sunagakure. And if his mother comes back, she will definitely stop his father from talking about battlefield to him on the grounds of being a minor.

“Okay.”

Hoshino organized his language and talked about the frontline.

After Sunagakure invaded the border city of the Land of Fire, Kikyō Castle, they used Kikyō Castle as a stronghold, radiated forward, frantically attacking other cities, occupying the cities, looting supplies, and capturing a large number of Land of Fire’s civilians.

At the same time, Land of Wind’s Daimyō also sent a large number of guards and civilians to settle in the cities that were occupied by the Sunagakure’s such as Kikyō Castle. Although their arrival could not improve Sunagakure’s combat power, but it can help Sunagakure manage the city, monitor the prisoners, and also provide excellent quality services~

It was not until the appearance of Konoha’s Shinobi army that Sunagakure’s invasion was stopped.

Afterwards, dozens of battles broke out between the two sides, and the casualties were quite heavy.

Sunagakure is fighting in a foreign country, and the supply line is long, even crossing the Land of Rain, so their efficiency is far lower than Konoha’s supply. Therefore, after the war is going for long, they started to decline. Under Konoha’s attack, they had no choice but to begin to concentrate their forces.

Konoha wanted to make persistent efforts to kick Sunagakure out of the Land of Fire, but Sunagakure was unhappy and said that they had to cease-fire. Konoha refused, but Sunagakure shamelessly threatened with the Land of Fire’s civilian captives in their hands. Konoha did not dare to press too tightly too hard, so the war on the front line has turned from attacking face to face, to the assassinating the higher-ups. Although there is no longer a large-scale battle, the level of danger seems to be getting higher and higher.

Hearing this, Hayate exclaimed excitedly again and again, wishing to grow ten years older immediately so that he could fight for the village on the battlefield.

And Kanpū is also fascinated. In the battle this time, many Shinobi from the two sides had died, and this is a potential resources collection.

“Uncle, what about my father?”

Hayate asked again.

“Your father is in the assassination team. He happened to have a mission when I came back, so he didn’t come back this time.” Hoshino said.

“Tou-san’s mission will definitely be successful.”

Hayate said with glowing eyes.

Kanpū asked: “Tou-san, how about the casualties of Gekkō Clan?”

Hoshino looked at Kanpū in surprise, and said with a smile: “I didn’t expect you have begun to care about clan, Kanpū.”

After he said that, the smile on the corner of Hoshino’s mouth disappeared, and he said solemnly, “As of the day I came back, two members of our Gekkō Clan had died, both of them are Elite Chunin, and in addition, thirteen members of the clan were injured. Among them, three clansmen with serious injury can no longer participate in the war. I have sent them back the two clansmen who died and the three clansmen from serious injury, haah.”

Kanpū frowned: “Tou-san, how many of our Shinobi did go to the battlefield?”

“Seventy-two people!” Hoshino did not hide it.

Kanpū’s heart sank upon hearing this.

Of the seventy-two people, two died, three were seriously injured, ten were slightly injured in the past month or so. As far as Kanpū knows, Konoha kicked Sunagakure out of the Land of Fire through the Battle of Kikyō Pass, and that event happened in the Year 46 of Konoha, so there are still about three years away from now!

Three years is thirty-six months!

Kanpū can’t imagine how many people will be left in Gekkō Clan thirty-six months later, unless everyone can come back from battlefield with ‘seriously injured’.

So, he asked vaguely: “Tou-san, if you were seriously injured, would you be able to come back from the battlefield?”

“Huh?”

Hoshino was stunned, and then laughed, “Kanpū, are you worried about Tou-san? But don’t worry, Tou-san will never be seriously injured unless I encounter an invincible enemy!”

Hoshino said with domineering attitude.

“But if you really encounter an invincible enemy, it won’t be as simple as being seriously injured.” Kanpū whispered.

“What did you say?” Hoshino did not hear it clearly.

“Nothing.” Kanpū shook his head.

“Big brother said that if you really encounter something you can’t beat…” Hayate has been sitting next to Kanpū, so he immediately repeated Kanpū’s words.

“Shut up.”

Kanpū glared at Hayate, giving him a look that promised pain if he continued.

Hayate lowered his head, feeling aggrieved: “Oh.”

“Kanpū, you have to show more care and love to your little brother. You can’t be so fierce to him, understand?” Hoshino said sternly.

Kanpū pretends to be stupid: “Hehehe.”
