CH 96

Walking down from the teaching building, Kanpū is in a good mood.

From being a trash to being a model student, Kanpū can already ignore any exams in the Academy. And Yu, the stumbling block, can only become a paper tiger under his Collection Technique.

“Hayate!”

Walking to the gate of the school, Kanpū saw Hayate’s figure, and there were two boys of different sizes, fat and thin, standing beside him. They should be Hayate’s classmates.

“Big brother, you are finally down!”

Seeing that his big brother finally appeared, Hayate hurriedly said, “I want to go shopping with my classmates, big brother, you can go home first!”

“Oh, you can go.”

Kanpū looked at Hayate and then at his two classmates, and felt… it was very wonderful.

In the past few months, he has to bring Hayate home every day, whether it is rain or sunny. He didn’t expect Hayate to grow up and can go shopping with his classmates…

“Goodbye, big brother.” Hayate waved, then turned around and left with his two classmates.

‘Alas!’

Kanpū sighed in disappointment, and walked towards the house with his head down and a decadent face.

While walking, Kanpū suddenly felt a little cool on his scalp. When he looked up, he saw snowflakes fluttering in the air and slowly falling from the white sky.

‘Snowing?’

‘It actually snowed at the end of December.’

Looking at the drifting snow, Kanpū inexplicably remembered his previous life. In his previous life, Kanpū lives in a southern city, perhaps because of the greenhouse effect, or because of other reasons, in short, there is no snow even at the end of the year.

When he got home, the backyard was already covered with a thin layer of snow, which made people want to step on it with their feet.

“That’s right, I have to return the notes to Uncle Matsushita.”

Kanpū tightened his clothes, then went into the bedroom and packed the 38 notes into the box, and then he walked towards Matsushita’s house.

Kanpū’s house is not far from the retired old man’s house, and the straight-line distance is only a little more than 100 meters. After all, Gekkō Clan is not big clan, and the places where the clansmen live are adjacent.

Knock knock knock!

Kanpū put the box on the snow and knocked on the door of Matsushita’s house.

After a while, the door opened from inside, revealing a rather delicate and pretty face: “Who are you looking for?”

Seeing this, Kanpū was startled, ‘Did that old man Matsushita develop the Naruto’s version of Transformation Technique?’

But Kanpū soon remembered something and asked: “Are you Uncle Matsushita’s granddaughter, Gekkō Tabako?”

“It’s me.”

Gekkō Tabako opened the door and looked up and down at Kanpū.

Tabako is fourteen this year, but her height is about the same as Kanpū, which is 1.5 meters tall.

Kanpū is also looking at the other party. Tabako has thin figure, with short hair, sharp eyes, and also valiant and formidable looking.

“Are you Kanpū?”

Tabako noticed the box on the snow and the familiar notebooks in the box, and she immediately guessed Kanpū’s identity.

“It’s me, I’m here to return the books.”

Kanpū picked up the box and handed it to Tabako, “Thank you for your note.”

“Well, you’re welcome.”

Tabako took it, and then said, “Kanpū, come in and sit down first. I’ll get you some drink.”

“No, I It’s almost time to go home.”

Kanpū is a person who has broken away from low-level tastes, but he didn’t expect that Tabako would take the box with one hand, and grabbed Kanpū’s arm with the other hand, and pulling him into the house directly.

“Just come in, everyone is a family.”

Tabako then said, “Kanpū, call me big sister!”

“…”

The muscles at the corners of Kanpū’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Aren’t you a shy boy?”

Tabako pursed her lips and smiled, then she put the box in the hallway and handed Kanpū a pair of warm shoes.

“Thank you.”

Kanpū smiled bitterly. After he changed his shoes and entering the living room, Kanpū found out that the old man Matsushita was also there. This old man was teasing a little girl with short purple hair, and did not notice his arrival at all.

Kanpū was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly fell on the little girl’s short purple hair.

‘Purple hair?’

‘Is she…’

When Kanpū was shocked, Matsushita turned around and saw Kanpū when he was reminded by Tabako.

“Oh, you’re here, Kanpū-chan, hahaha, the Academy is on holiday now, right?”

Matsushita asked with a smile.

“Well, we got half a month’s holiday.”

Then Kanpū pretended to be curiously and asked, “Uncle Matsushita, is this little girl also your granddaughter too?”

Matsushita’s smile froze, and then he sighed in melancholy.

When Kanpū was confused by Matsushita’s reaction, Tabako has come back from the kitchen, and said to him while holding a cup of hot water: “My parents passed away five years ago.”

Kanpū was stunned, and he quickly apologized: “Sorry, I said something that shouldn’t be said.”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s all over.” Tabako handed the hot water in her hand to Kanpū.

“Thank you.” Kanpū accepted the cup and thanked her.

“Her name is Uzuki Yūgao.”

Tabako introduced, “She’s the daughter of my grandfather’s subordinate.”

‘It really is her!’

‘My little brother’s future girlfriend, Uzuki Yūgao!’

“Do you know her?” Tabako suddenly asked.

“I don’t know her.” Kanpū hurriedly shook his head in denial.

“But your expression just now clearly said… you know her!” Tabako’s eyes are sharp.

Faced with Tabako’s sharp eyes, Kanpū didn’t know what to say for a while.

“As a Shinobi, information gathering is the most basic, but…”

Fortunately, at this time, Matsushita stepped up to stop Tabako, “But, Tabako-chan, this is home, so stop your Shinobi’s interrogation!”

“I know Grandpa, I’m just curious.”

Tabako ran over and shook the old man’s arm like a spoiled child.

“Grandpa, I want to be a Shinobi too.”

Yūgao suddenly said.

“Well, Yūgao-chan will definitely become an excellent Shinobi in the future!” Matsushita said with a big smile, “From now on, Yūgao-chan will follow your big sister Tabako to train Kenjutsu, okay?”

“Okay!”

Yūgao immediately ran over to hold Tabako, “Tabako-nee, I want to learn Kenjutsu.”

Tabako smiled and said: “Okay, when you grow up, Yūgao-chan, nee-san will teach you Konoha-Style Kenjutsu.”

Kanpū looked at Tabako, who was talking to Yūgao, and there was a faint sweat dripping out of his back.

Just now, he was really taken aback.

Not only because of Tabako’s keenness, but also because of his own carelessness.

‘After staying at the Academy for a long time, my vigilance and awareness seem to be getting lower and lower. This time, I was seen by Tabako after just showing a small flaw. It was not a big deal indeed, but what if it was Kakashi? Sandaime Hokage? What about Orochimaru?’

Kanpū narrowed his eyes slightly: ‘Now that I have applied for early graduation, my mentality must be changed as soon as possible!’

In the Academy, when Kanpū is with Iruka, Anko and the others, he can let go of his vigilance, throw away his guard, and get along without any worries.

But after graduation, he did not enter any factory to work, but became a Shinobi. He had to face various missions, face the dangers that may appear at any time, face various Shinobi, and even go to the battlefield. If there is no sense of vigilance, he is afraid that even when he is sold, he would still help his seller to count the money!

Kanpū took two deep breaths, and the cold air flowed into the deepest part of his lungs. There was a deep chill, but it also made his mind clearer.
